Giles could just stake him in the back - Spke better watch out.  Giles is mean enough to do it. 

Loving the chemistry and the slow build-up! Shame on Giles.

I get the same feeling ,that I got during season 6 of Buffy,when they treated Spike like shit once they brought her back from the dead.The bright side is,that your Buffy is nice to him, so its bearable to ,,see`` him being treated like that.Looking forward to Buffy telling them to back off .
Thank you for updating, I really like it .

Gotta love a less than sober Spike's attitude and good on him for staying as Buffy and Dawn want.  Typical Giles and Scoobies reaction, liked the final paragraph a lot - good chapter.

Thanks for the update! I really like how this is working out. Although I really want to smack me some scoobies...

Giles is typically behaving like a pillock. As in season 7 when he complained that Buffy was relying on Spike and he was affecting her judgement. Of course as far as he was concerned she should have been relying on him and the scoobies instead and allowing them to affect her judgement... More please...

Why can't they mind their own business??? He hasn't harmed them in any way. When Buffy gets her memories back it will be up to her to decide what she feels about Spike and if anything should be done about him.
