Lovely chapter. The dialog was very good, with Spike being both open and intractable, no mean feat, and Buffy striving to make the square peg fit in her round life, a seemingly impossible task. I love Joyce teasing Buffy, too. She's a sly one.
Thank you so much!  I'm glad you enjoyed their talk.  And I always liked Joyce.  Thanks for reviewing!

  This is a seriously impressive story.  I especially love your characterizations, which (this may be heresy) are better than canon.
Can't wait to read more!
Thanks.
Thank you!  I'm glad you're enjoying the story so much!

Another lovely update! Love Spike and his offer to just hold her in the dark. *swoon* Look forward to more.
Well, Buffy did say that she liked it when Spike held her, so of course he offered!  :)   Glad you liked it!

Still going strong.  And I really like happy, supportive Joyce.  Don't get to see it too often.
Glad you think so!  I'm always worried people will start getting bored, since I'm not wrapping things up any time soon.  And glad you liked Joyce!  Thanks for reviewing!

Lovely update.  Buffy needs to come to terms with what Spike is and Who he is as well.  He is more than just what he eats.  That will be an issue if he kills, yeah, but there is so much more to him than that.

Spike needs to do the same...he must come to look at his vampiric needs from the Slayers viewpoint to understand her.

Luckily or them both the emotional framework is there for them to want to do this.  They are perfect for one another.

I imagine if Buffy found out Spike killed the bad man who was after her she would be upset AT FIRST...after finding out that man's original plan she might not be that judgemental.
Great update.

Yes, Buffy and Spike both need to see things from the other's point of view.  Though I think that Buffy knows that Spike is more than what he eats, which is why it's so hard for her.  She's seen the 'human' side to him, and knows how he can be with her.  Even so, she couldn't stand to be with him if he was killing people.  And Spike...what can I say, he just doesn't get it.  Yet.

Buffy will definitely be finding out that Spike killed Smith.  I've already written it, it's just a matter of waiting (rather a long way, at this point) until it's time to put it in.  Several things will be cleared up, and shades of gray will be realized.

So glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reviewing!

Buffy's non-snooping was fun  - as was their slightly awkward chat.  Joyce was super cool mom. Lovely chapter.

Glad you liked Buffy's snooping!  And Joyce!  Thanks for reviewing!

Buffy "not snooping" at Spike's was great.  I loved the comment about the towels and "vampire bachelor quarters"

 

Thank you so much!  I'm glad you liked it!
