OH I am glad at Faith for admitting it but if I was Spike and Buffy I would not go back right away.

Okay Im going to do all my summation of what I think of your story here in the hopes that you check it, and also that I will tell you in my nxt review to look in the last chapter to see what I said...onto the review: First off, I am an early ATS fan and a Cordy/Angel worshipper as well as a spuffy fan so for me to actually support an unsouled spike is kind of a dichotomy since I DON'T like angelus...but yet, I do...and if anyone bothered to read the cordy/angel fiction they would find that the maj. of it that contained a buffy rel. was spuffy with an unsouled spike. B/c Spike is capable of love and his demon and human have melded in a way that angel/angelus never did. And while buffy/angel never worked b/c angelus hated the slayer...the demon in spike somehow doesn't have that prob. So I supp. the unsouled spike. As for S7 of BTVS here is my view on what SHOULDN:T have happened. Dawn/spike shouldn't have had that continous animosity...I liked their bond. i hated giles by the end of the show. And your story isn't putting him in a good light. Sorry it's a long review but wanted to tell you what I thought rather than just post it out in several!
