Oh.....*sniffles* sadness on both sides. I liked the old lady telling him he better make it up to buffy. *grins* i can so picture that, and him being all contrite.
And chasing buffy down was wonderful but I loved how you had buffy knock him back a peg when he said "do you know who i am?"
great fic sweetie!

god...the pain you manage to infuse the characters with is just palpable. Like you could reach out and touch it.
I have to say if I were Buffy, i'd have done the exact same thing. And good for her for going out to dinner. If anyone deserves some downtime she does!!!

wow...the tension was perfect. And poor Alicia, hearing that and not really getting what the arguments about but that your name was included and then thinking that you probably did it. Poor kid. *hugs alicia* I'm glad buffy's there for her!!!

that was sad. brilliant but sad. I don't think he's a bad person just hasn't a clue, but he's starting to get one isn't he?
loving it still. :)

Spike has really changed for the better :) ~ Loved Alicia's talk to her father. ~ Thanks again for the update :) No time left now, sorry if I'm short.

Wasn’t that just spit-in-your-face, kick-you-in-the-crotch, fantastic?
that is a perfect line to sum up being pissed, feeling bad about being pissed and yet...still knowing you have the damn right to be pissed.
I'm loving this so far :D

aaaaahh that was brutal. And painful. Poor Buffy but I'm glad she didnt' back down, and she made him feel guilty for his treatment of her.
And the "ba ba black sheep" *grins* pure genius sweetie!!!

*giggles* i loved the wanker in black comment. Could that have been angel perhaps? *grins again* and man..i hope buffy catches him and laura and gives him hell!!!
on to the next chappy!!! (and if you're not sure ask Rose if i'm not insane ;) )

Date: 03/07/2006 - 05:23 pm Title: Chapter Two
*grins* i love buffy. She's me!!! foot in mouth and blunt and totally well meaning. And Spike, smooth for sure but the undercurrent of loneliness that makes you want to hug him. I get the same feeling from...........*gasps* James.
the loneliness factor that is. Like he loves the spotlight just like you depict but when he's not in it he's...alone. Even with someone there. Except maybe family. *shrugs* never met that guy, but i've seen/read alot of interviews and have a couple of friends that have met him and that's just the vibe i get.
And yep..i just want to cuddle the man, and your spike!!! :)

I'm glad she didnt put up too much of a fight, I like where this is going ....

Date: 03/07/2006 - 04:04 pm Title: Chapter Twenty two
Wow. Really powerful chapter. Huge emotional leaps are being taken along with enormous risks. Your character development is just phenomenal, Brat! You never fail to suck us into the story & make us care so much about the characters & everything they're going through. Well done, as always :D

YAH!!! im glad sam is going to let spike get alicia

Date: 03/07/2006 - 01:27 pm Title: Chapter Twenty two
I'm so glad Sam is giving Spike a chance to prove himself. Wonderful conversation between the two of them. It was good to see Spike face Sam on his own. Excellent chapter!

Date: 03/07/2006 - 01:09 pm Title: Chapter Twenty
oohhhhh, she's so in love with him and can't even realize it. I love it!

Date: 03/07/2006 - 12:40 pm Title: Chapter Twenty two
*sniff* I loved this chapter. Spike's speech really tugged at the strings in my heart, he was so sincere and I'm really glad that both Alicia and Sam are willing to give him a chance.

Spike speaking for himself, not letting Buffy defend him with Sam. set the stage for the adult conversation with Sam. Excellent job on the dialogue in this scene. You could really feel the anger and disappointment from Sam, as well as the maternal need to protect Alicia. Spike groveled just enough while staying in character.

Date: 03/07/2006 - 11:42 am Title: Chapter Twenty two
WOW! Another great update! I'm glad Sam wasn't too difficult for Spike to talk to. Now bring on more happy Spuffiness please!!

Date: 03/07/2006 - 10:37 am Title: Chapter Twenty two
and i thought that was going to be harder. i love that he's changing. can't wait for more, will he backslide or will he be good? can't wait to find out.

Date: 03/07/2006 - 10:34 am Title: Chapter Twenty two
Excellent follow-up! Love how realistic you are with this story and how Sam is not the bad guy coniving and constantly glaring, she's a real person too who's been hurt and reacting because of it.
