Interesting thought about Spike having to start over with Buffy each time he sees her. Nice Dawn and Buffy scene.
Thanks! I think Buffy is very resistant to letting people get close to her, and so there's always a set of walls Spike has to knock down repeatedly in order to get to her.

How nice that Buffy can see that. Now if she will just act on that information when she interacts with him.
I think she definitely sees him in a different light than on the show - but she's still Buffy, so she probably won't be too bright about it! ;)

Hopefully, with Willow and Tara gone, Buffy can relax a little bit more. She's right about not telling Dawn, she wouldn't be able to keep quite about it. She smiled and remembered about Spike's promise, that's something. This is really coming along, thanks, I'm enjoying it.
Yeah, if she wants to keep it from her friends, telling Dawn is NOT the way to go. You know she'd flip out and be very defensive of Buffy.

At least she's not so reserved with her sister. Still not "right", but Dawn and Spike seem to be the only ones she'll let get very close right now. Hopefully one temperamental Key and one enamored vampire will be enough.
It's like the Beatles said - "All you need is Spike."
What do you mean, I'm quoting it wrong? ;)

Thanks for the update! It's nice to see Buffy talking with Dawn. Even though she's not telling her the who story, lol.

Glad you liked it. I don't think we can expect her to tell everything just yet, but they do have that sisterly bond.

fun read, thank you. if buffy had talk with dawn in canon, a lot of secondary plot points would have been lost. (wait, the secondary plot lines did take over the writers focus.)
Oh, who knows what was going on in those writers' brains that season! Thanks for the review!

Great chapter. i love the way you write Spike and his talent to read Buffy. I am really glad that part of the AU is that Spike doesn't just drop watching out for Dawn. Their friendship/older brother thing was so great. Again thanks for fleshing out the missed opportunities of the show. I know Joss but the blocks there but you are building something really sweet with them.
Sadly, there's not too much Spike and Dawn in this fic, but I'm planning on a whole AU series, and the next story has lots of those two together.

Seems like a mistake to ask the girls to leave, but time will tell.
I'm conflicted on whether it was a mistake or not... we will see.

It going to be hard for Spike to take care of her when he is going to be trailing the slayer.
I wonder what he is trying to protect her from, did she try to kill herself the night before.

Well, since Buffy doesn't remember, I guess we'll never know! But Spike definitely knows something's wrong with her, and he's not going to give her the chance to kill herself if he can help it.

Good that Buffy find out a bit about that summer she was dead. Like the way you weave dialogue from canon into your stories....makes them seemless.

Heh... it's mostly because sometimes I think Joss just said it better than I ever could. ;-) But kinda gives you the sense that, even in this AU, some things are still the same. That will probably become less frequent, though, as I go farther from canon.

awww..that was a very realistic conversation between dawn and buffy...started off tense, with dawn's typical dawn attitude, but ended up a little better...excellent chapter, love :)
Thanks for the lovely compliment! Buffy & Dawn scenes are my third favorite to write... after Spike & Buffy (of course) and Spike & Dawn. Their relationship is so complicated... moreso than most sisters because of the Key thing, and now with the added "mom" component of Buffy being her guardian.
