Spike really had some good words for Xander

Author's Response: He really did, and thankfully Xander listened for once! Thanks for reading, kw.

I just started reading this fic and I love it! It's really good, can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: Yay! I'm not going to argue with new readers, LOL. New one is up.

Xander still has doubts and is ready to run.... magic won't heal that. Good that Xander noticed Willow's obsession with magic (to fix everything with magic) too.
Good advice from Spike to let the fear of "what might" not rule his decisions... it worked :)
Unexpected! The trio trying to kill Buffy off. Glad that their plan didn't function - for today :)

Author's Response: LOL, that Trio are a pain!! Glad you're reading CK!

Great chapter.
Like the fact, that Spike and Xander seem to "understand" eachother for the first time!

Keep on wirting!

Author's Response: I always seem to go for a possible Xander/Spike friendship in my fics. It never starts out that way but it seems to progress so naturally! I'm so glad you're enjoying the fic, MOa.

They tried to blow her up? God, Warren is a demented little freak. The other two aren't that much better. I'm glad their stupid plan failed, I hope Buffy and Spike give the smackdown on their asses. I'm also glad Xander went through with the wedding. Spike should get major points for that. I still don't know what Willow's problem is. I thought she was over the use of magic at this point. Of course, I'm just thinking of the show. You could have changed that and I probably just missed it or something. Anyway, glad to see such a fast update after the last one. Can't wait for more=)

Author's Response: ROFL! They did! But what is important to note is, they screwed it up--like they are apt to do. Phew! Spike is definitely thinking he should get major points for keeping the wedding on track, but then his motive might be half the problem in the end. I haven't quite sorted out what's going on with Willow either, but we'll get there. 'Seeing Red' is only two eps away and really, Willow didn't know what was going on with Buffy and Spike during ehr 'down time' so to speak. So who knows what a combination of her having to give up the thing that makes her feel important so she can get Tara back with Buffy taking up with a soulless Spike would have done to her. I'll likely have a Willow-centric chapter soon. I really don't write much Willow, pretty much because she's the character in the show I can't stand, but I'll try and keep it realistic. I'm already working on the next chapter so hopefully before the end of the weekend it will be up.
