You write so well, and it is a very interesting concept you have brought up, but seriously I have a problem... I think I'm addicted... It's not healthy. You can't just leave me like that! Please update!!

Come on Spike. YOu have to realize that Buffy needs you. She is someone who is not jaded by the past. She doesn't have one. And I just love how Dawn is there to help Buffy and to put Spike in his place. And really, the cycle has ended now that she is back? Awesome chapter.

what what???? oh come on now thats way to much responsiblity for anyone... what are they going to do turn her so she can be a slayer forever??? MAKE THEM FIX IT!!!! lol great chapter!

*throws sharp metal objects at Spike*

Poor Buffy -- as if she hasn't got enough on her plate!! And it's not often I can say nice Dawn but this definitely beats whining.

wow...that's a heavy weight to bear, even heavier than the ordinary weight of slayer-dom...great chapter, love, i love your dawnie...very well written, intense, and emotional...can't wait for more :)

once again dawn is the only one with a grain of sense. great ending line. thanks for the fine read.

OOoo Consequences indeed! What a neat turn of events you've dealt us here.

Well written from start to end, great chapter.

Spike being noble and Buffy left confused...these two just have such a problem connecting lol. Loved Dawn's little talks with both Buffy and with Spike.

Looking forward to more.

Great chapter.

Hey for Dawn! She's the perfect person to bring him to his senses. That's one hell of a development. Really changes things. Excellent read, thanks.

Ooh, more twists and turns. I think that Dawn is right, Spike is scared. IT was fun to see Dawn acting more mature than Buffy.

hee cool twist. porr Faith though. And Spike is kinda righ but I hope they manage to work things out.

Interesting twist.

Excellent update. I hope Spike sees the light and stop being an idiot. He deserves some Buffy loving. And I hope the Slayer line thing doesn't give them one more reason to send Buffy back. I like younger Buffy. She's nicer.

Spike is certainly confused.

And being the last Slayer ever is one hell of lot of pressure to put on a girl. And a reason to smack Willow silly.

Great chapter, so happy to see this story is updating. I'm in a rush but I wanted to write a quick review so the author can be told how wonderful they are to be writing this! Also, anyone who reads through the reviews should get involved in this story too. It's frustrating to wait between the updates, but it's always worth it.

I am so glad Dawn confronts Spike instead of being all twitchy and in denial and 'understanding' like the Scoobies handle problems. Spike deserves to be loved by Buffy like that, and this buffy is so happy and able to love and deserving of Spike. Still, I can see the dilemma in that she is still a young teenager now, and is not the same, complete girl he fell in love with. Also, we have the whole underage sex thing, because the physical parts- fighting or kissing- were a big part of Spike and Buffy relationships.

I really hope we get to see some of that 'family' stuff Dawn was so hopeful for before everything comes crashing down. I'm sure Spike will have the chance to be sweet and caring and that kind of gentler relationship with this young Buffy. Still, there are so many ways this could go and so many opportunities and dangers. Buffy didn't even know about Faith! How would she react, never knowing Angelus, if Angel turns up? Man, I really want Angel to turn up. Spike is the most amazing, heroic vampire ever and the comparison to the Brood Boy just makes him shine brighter.
Keep writing!
