How deliciously fluffy. Earlier today I thought I was in the mood for angst. So glad I read this instead. Made my head ache go away.

Author's Response: I'm so happy you liked this old fic of mine, it was one of the first I ever wrote. Thank you so much for all your reviews! :)

I wish Anya had gotten the happily ever after she wanted. At least you've given her lots of happies in your fic.

One beat-down coming your way, Mr. Finn.

Babbling, sweet, innocent Willow--how I miss thee.

Riley is a chauvinist. Also Angel-lite. That's why I enjoy reading about him as Spike's "aluminum" foil.

Darla is the biggest skank of them all! Not sure if this is the perfect moment, but it is affirmation of feelings.

Wounded creatures tend to lash out when threatened or even when approached without malicious intent. That's what this chapter is about.

Honesty is the best policy, don't be so quick to judge, everone makes.mistakes--all will do quite nicely.

What horrible things coulr Willy know that Buffy would think is a deal-breaker with Spike?

Riley shouldn't be a problem for Spike. I prefer him as the bad boyfriend over Angel. Less associated trauma.

Run for your lives! Unicorn-lover is here! Not sure how William would have ended up with Harm, though. She is definitely a girl-toy for a jaded Spike.

No sex! Just say no!
