love that spuffy bonding!

I'm loving thist! Yay for old buffy! Thanks so much for the new chapters. I'm really looking forward to a new chapter of this everyday!

He broke up with Dru?!?! It's about damn time! Now I can't wait to see how the Christmas Dance goes, that should be awesome!! =D

Hmmmm...To me, this story is very much an illustration of how William becomes Spike. I think of him like a rubberband that was stretched completely one way (William) and when that band snapped he went the extreme opposite way to Spike. Now it's about balancing out that tension in the band to a resting position...the balance of the two. That's how I view most changes. Change, for me anyway, usually equals a bit of angst. Buffy, on the other hand, seems to have gone back to her original state. She hasn't balanced between the two extremes she experienced. Perplexing. Emotionally she seems more balanced, more independent from William/Spike, although she still longs for him. I don't know what to make of this chapter, really. It was too short :) that's for sure! I do like that Spike isn't saying, btw, I broke up with Dru (we don't even really know if he has or not...he was standing beside her at her locker on Monday morning). He also seems to have laid off of Angelus a bit. I still hope the story isn't getting too close to having them back together yet. Regardless of what is currently going on with Buffy, William hurt her a LOT. I really do hope that she can have some vindication for everything that has happened. Dru deserves some of it, but IMO, Spike deserves the majority of it. Sure, Dru equals boyfriend stealing piece of crap, but Spike fell for it. That in and of itself is worse than anything Dru could have ever done. I just don't know what Spike can do to make things right. I'll quit thinking on it and leave that up to you two! Love the story!

Spike is still a creep. If he would just be honest everything would be MUCH better- I assume he and Dru broke up but why hasn't he mentioned that to Buffy? And i really hate the way Spike feels all smug about 'fixing' Buffy... what about him? Has he stopped lying? Cheating on people? Quit dying his hair or gone back to exactly how he was pre-Dru? There's such a double standard here... I really hope he realizes what a jerk he's been- and actually gives Buffy a reason to give him another chance.

hmmmm, very curious to know what exactly Spike told Drusilla that other night. It seems like they've settled into the friends but really more routine. I hope that's not the only way Spike makes up for being a doof? can't wait for more! I love this story - keep up the gradual progression!

Time for Spike to get his act together! Get at it, son, go get the girl! Still love this though. Luv, spuf

O.K. I love the way you write this story and I'm sure you have a master plan and all, but this is getting ridiculous. Spike is an ass, leaves Buffy for Dru, he changes, she changes, everyone decides there is something wrong with Buffy so they do an almost intervention, Buffy changes her clothes ans habits back, NOW, she;s becoming happy again. Spike still hasn't done a damn thing right, but nobody is bugging him. Now it looks like Buffy might start trying to pursue him again. Spike has definitely NOT taken his lumps yet and he doesn't deserve her back. Something else has to happen in the story to make all right with the world again. Waiting patiently (or not so much).

Is Spike and Dru broken up or what? I'm a little confused on this subject I assumed in the last chapter when he told her they needed to talk. It was going to be over. Buffy and Spike spending quality time together as just friends...oh please. Another damn dance. I guess it is kind of a good spot for some angst and drama. Okay I would be lieing if I didn't admit I'm looking forward to that. Thanks for the update...Now can these two hurry up and get back together
