Spike's falling!
Already fell, just noticing (he's not as slow as Buffy but it does take a while). K

I'm glad that Spike overheard the chat between Giles and Xander. It always bothered me that Giles hid Xander's actions, yet they all jumped on Spike. It was jsut wrong.
That whole end of the episode bothered me. The shared smirky smiles on Giles and Xanders faces ticked me off royally! K

Love Spike's little realization and the way he's working his way into the past.
Hard thing for him to do to realize Dru's accusations were true but he gets there. Thanks K

very nicely written. I really love this story. I also love that she's building something with spike before she finds out what he is...much like what happened with angel. I hope the unmasking of his true nature is just as dramatic. :)
Thank you. I want nice foundations for them this time around. K

I really like Spike with younger less jaded versions of Buffy. And let me just say THANK YOU for how you're not just dropping the issue of Xander attacking Buffy like they did on the show - that REALLY bugged me when I saw the end of that episode. Then, at the end of S6 when Spike attacked Buffy, they never mentioned Xander's VERY similiar attack on her. Hell, Xander was the one who was oh so glad to tell everyone about it, conviently leaving out that he imself had tried to rape Buffy before, except he didn't stop on his own - Buffy had to force him to stop by knocking him out. What's wrong with this picture? - Holy and self-righteous human Xander WITH A SOUL is immediately forgiven and all forgotten even though the possession merely magnified what was ALREADY there! Meanwhile, Spike, WITHOUT A SOUL, stopped when he realised what was happening. The person who stopped was condemned while the one who blatently refused to stop was immediately forgiven and all forgotten!? NEWSFLASH: Rapists don't stop when the victim fights back, those sick bastards get off on it. If the victim kicks them off, then they just try harder and don't stop unless they are forced to stop. Nobody seemed to mind or care that Xander would have raped Buffy had she not been able to stop him. That's it for my ranting - I just REALLY HATE it when crimes as serious as rape are trivalized or just dropped like they did on the show.
Yeah...it's a hot button issue with me to and I couldn't have put it better than you did! Another thing was Spike's ability to control his demon as opposed to ....say ... Angel. In "Angel" all it took was one kiss and he vamped out! When Buffy wanted Angel to feed from her to savehis life she wacked him 3 times and boom he nearly drained her! Spike was rarely in game face (and certainly not with a kiss!) and she nearly beat him to death in that alley and he never raised a fist let alone took a nip! Lots of double standards drove me crazy (and don't even get me started on Anya and her complete lack of remorse and even bragging about the vengeance spells in her demon past and all Xander did was get grossed out on the details!). We think alike methinks! Thanks! K

God I love this fic!!! I love the way Spike is getting all protective now. Sooo cannot wait to read more!
Thank you! Spike is much faster adapting to the truth than older Buffy. Lucky for him THIS Buffy isn't guarding her heart like a fortress. K

LOL, yeah but now Spike knows that Xander remembers and that Giles knows :P Damn good chappie.
Yeah, that always bothered me on the show...bloody hypocrites! THanks K
