Aaawwww. Damn that was cute.
And can i just say I knew it, I knew it. I knew Giles felt something for Anya. Now there is a match that will be hilarious to see. I always liked the two of them in Tabula Rasa. They were so cure and old coupleish, surrounded by bunnies and still sniping at each other only to make up.

I think this is a great story; interesting and very well told. I enjoy the way you write the various characters; Dawn in particular is fun. You've also given Buffy and Spike a much healthier relationship than they ever had on the show; and made it believable. Really enjoying it! So consider yourself validated!

I go away for a bit and so much has gone on in this story. The Anya/Giles interludes are delightful. Anya being maternal with Connor was a surprise, but you've written her with depth and compassion. Spike and Buffy are wonderful to read, and the scene with Dru was very nice. The insecurity that meeting raised with Buffy was well realised, and it pushed the story forward seamlessly.

I love this story!!! Please keep writing, even if you aren't getting a lot of reviews it doesn't mean that people aren't reading and loving this story. I really want to know what happens next. I can't write fiction to save my life, but I love reading those authors who can, and do, have something to say. Keep going, and I'll keep reading. I'll even try to remember to review more often. :-)

Bit late but hey, better late than never, right?
Anyway, great chapter! Love that you found a middle-way with Dru there. By simply ignoring her as soon as Buffy arrived Spike made it nice and clear just who he cares about. And while it's always a great way to demonstrate ones feelings if the kill their formers; it somehow cheapens the whole thing as well. Killing an ex just to proove your feelings (like Spike planned in "Crush") doesn't exactly make you look good. It's different if it's for protection, but not to proove something.
Sweet scene with Giles and Anya. I really like those two, hope they won't have it too hard. Anya so deserves someone who doesn't treat her like all that matters is that she looks good on his arm - and that's the feeling I've been getting from Xander; like she's some sort of prestige-girlfriend - supposed to look nice and keep quiet.
Looking forward to the next chapter!

GAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that ending was evil *grins*. Ok now that i am composed. Giles's inner dialogue about babies was fantastic. Gods that is just the way he would think too. Anya being true self and just laying it all out there to him like taking care of a child was the most natural thing in the world. LOVED the idea of Giles and Anya having relations. I mean come on she is a thousand years old, the girl needs a intelligent older man who can stimulate her both mind and body. Intelligent Orgasms is the way to go. Dawn, that was cute, can't tell you how many times i used to spy on my parents conversations in much the same way. *laughs*. Then there is Dru, oozing with insanity and spouting her visions like they were rhythmic rhymes of fairy tales. YIKES she is not something I would want to cross with. Gods she is just creepy in every way, you write her so well. I wanted to hide under the covers definitely. Buffy, having those doubts inside, so real, so fresh. But then OH GODS NIA, my heart was pounding I was holding my breath...and thinking just say it Spike and Buffy come on girl. I mean these type are one in a million. Let your heart go and WOW WOW. that last bit was fantastic. Spike pouring himself out like that, finally giving himself over to her...gods she better just say yes. Though i like her making him work for it*laughs*

Good to see that Anya is appreciated by Giles. It may help a bit against the thoughtlessness Xander has lately for Anya.
Loved Spike clearly choosing Buffy over Drusilla :-D But there was no doubt about it.. only a little on the side of insecure Buffy. Wonder what Dru will do now - going back? Mmm - I fear not.
How awesome - Spike is asking Buffy if she'll be his mate :-D ...[I wonder just one thing - it's the same in all fics, and sometimes not mentioned because the fic ends then: When Buffy is mortal and Spike is not - will she get older and Spike stay young? Or will they share Spike's immortality? Or will it be a part of Buffy's slayer heritage? The slayer always died young - who knows what's in store for a slayer when she survives a certain age?
Thanks for updating, hun!

I really think the last few chapters have been well written, I was happy to see an update.
Date: 06/20/2005 - 07:03 am Title: Tender looks becoming habit
Oh, I just LOVED it!!! So glad that you made a clear point that Spike did love Dru, but he's completely in love with Buffy. His speech had me in tears (just like the one from "Touched" did). Oh, and Giles/Anya...loving that pairing...hoping for more soon!!!

Poor Spike -- he always gets so nervous! I can't wait to see how Buffy answers him (and the answer better be a yes!!!!) The relationship blooming b/n Giles and Anya is cute! Please update soon!

Over 600 reviews and you are wondering if this is any good. You are crazy!
Date: 06/20/2005 - 12:27 am Title: Tender looks becoming habit
So, so good. I just adored the way he asked her to be his mate. I also am completely in love with the growing Giles Anja romance. I want more!!! You also made me want another baby - which is quite naughty of you. Write in a scene where he keeps them up all night, throws-up on the floor, and refuses to be held or something. Quick!

Judt so you know, you've made me all teary. What a beautiful moment. I love Spike's proposal. I just hope Buffy can finally bring herself to let go and tell him exactly how she feels with no words or feelings held back. He so deserves to hear it from the woman he loves.
