Now the tables have turned, and Spike has all the good cards...good for him...Xander knows what he felt, and what it's like to be mistrusted...about time...and Buffy knows what it really means to love...finally...great update, and waiting with bated breath for the next.....

Interesting that after everything Xander has done, it is going to end up being Spike who will convince BUffy and Dawn to forgive the Whelp. Loving the direction this story is taking. Will Anya make an appearance to Dawn to tell her that she did grant the wish with Xander? Look forward to more.

Finally got time to read this fic - awesome, dark and wonderful all at once :)

Nice Spuffy WAFF in this chapter. It's a pleasant change. Will Spike convince Buffy and Dawn to try and forgive Xander? It's pretty hard for me to do that and it would be more difficult for them.

Nice one - I'm so glad Spike is on the mend. A few more sincere Xander grovels and even I may be able to tolerate him a tiny bit!

Good chapter, love the way Spike see's all and stuff.

Spike always has had a way with seeing the truth about people. And to be able to empathize with Xander after everything is just amazing. Glad to see that the slayer blood worked. -Lisa

awesome as usual!! I know I've said it, but i love the way you're working Xander here. It's soooooooo good. *nods*
