So Dawn's Dad is hot, huh *gg*
With Dawn's help chances are higher that Buffy will take that money, best choice. Spike hasn't many to chose from too.
Spike isn't the only clever one; Dawn's keeping he eyes pen too. Maybe her talk helped Bufffy to see more clearer too. Well at last she found the ultimate test to see if Spike is stronger than his demon.
Oh :)) I like the decision she made :) I just hope things with Spike's job will go well = he doesn't have to do something Buffy won't like as the slayer.

The Spike and Dawn interaction was delightful, as always, and I really loved Spike tracking her down at school. That cafeteria scene was vivid and entertaining, and I laughed out loud at the girl calling Spike Dawn's hot father.

I'm concerned about Spike's money making scheme, as well as passing the cash off as coming from Buffy's father. If Buffy wouldn't like the money's origins, the added duplicity of letting Dawn in on the lie is going to make her angrier still. Oh what a tangled web they weave...

Dawn calling Buffy on letting the Council manipulate her and her undue influence on Spike was wonderful. Dawn sure doesn't mince words, and she has Spike's back. Those hard truths set the stage for a relatively smooth meeting at the crypt, and Buffy offering up her blood, trusting Spike's control was lovely. She's beginning to accept the demon, too.

You built the tension beautifully in the last scene, and I gave a little laugh when "...she threw the photographs of Spike’s handiwork into her Watcher’s face." Buffy just throwing the Council's proposal back in the Scoobies' self righteous faces was wonderful. She's an adult, capable of making her own decisions, and right or wrong it's really none of their business.

Here's hoping she doesn't have to eat crow when Spike's schemes blow up in his face. Thanks for another highly entertaining chapter.

"How refreshing ......." Sorry, that was my review just gone through - forgot to put my name on.

How refreshing to have a conversation between Buffy and Dawn that has a start, middle and end, good reasoning and, oh yeah - no tantrums of the repetitive kind (get out, get out GET OUT!). Dawn made sense and Buffy listened.

This Slayer who listens and doesn't run was also present and correct in Spike's crypt - and again she listened and, more importantly, she heard him.

So she saved her quick-tempered and very effective put-down for the over-presumptive Scoobies and Giles. The photographs he had given her, to wound and shock her into rejecting Spike were flung in his face. Right back at you, Watcher.

Bit worried about the origins of the Spike money, though ...... I just know this is going to backfire on him, at some point.

*hugs you tight and gives you hot chocolate with marshmallows, chocolate-covered Spikes with sprinkles of white chocolate, whipped cream and a cherry on top*

This is the Buffy we should have seen in BTVS, warrior and woman both sure of what they want and ready to defend it no matter what others thought!

I love how Spike tries to change for her, but adore how she wants to show him he doesn't need to!

*bows to your genious and writing skills*

I know I've said it before, but this story keeps getting better with every new chapter, and it has passed the point of what I had in mind as "perfect" a while ago, only to redefine it!

Thank you so much for sharing!

Fabulous! I always manage to lose the reviews I type up for you, so I'm going to be brief and to the point by saying I love every SINGLE update of this fic, and I am always waiting for more! I especially loved when at the end Buffy was so nervous-- you really captured that emotion very well with a few choice words. :) And I'm so happy to see her doing what she WANTS, not what is expected of her--not merely in defiance, but because she realizes that she's a woman who has needs! Poor Spike.. OOMG and the scene! With the thumb! I had absolutely no idea what Buffy was going to do and it was just... So very creative, so very imaginative... Sexy, too! :) Loved it. LOVED it. This fic is, like I've said before, my favorite EVER. :) Can't wait for more!

Lovely! I'm so glad she told those "friends" of hers right where they could shove it. And I like the fact that each one developed their own version of how they would be proven right. So glad she stood by Spike. I do wonder how his new job will go in the long run. Always more drama to come. Amazing chapter. Please, update soon!

YAY!!! Go Buffy!!! Took her long enough to see the vampire and man Spike is. I hope she doesn't do anything to hurt him. Hopefully she'll make it through the aggravating Scooby intervention and curse them all out for their biased ways. Can't wait for more!!!

Author's Response: lol. I agree - it is about time she truly accepted Spike for the man he was and the vampire he is. Thanks for the review. :-D

That's weird, the chap. says "55. Prologue/Chapter one."

Anyway, You're making Dawn a smarty-pants, but she is still likable, which is good. Yes, it was very funny how Spike went to the school, esp. the cigerette in the Pepsi and Dawn's friends thinking she has a hot dad. Hopefully the plan doesn't backfire (but being Spike's plan...). Great Chap, thanks for making it so long!

Author's Response: lol. Yeah ... that would be because I was a big dummy and forgot to erase the default from the chapter title. It's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out! :-D

I thought that would go very differently, but I much prefer this way. Can't wait to read more and to see how her friends react to the news.

Author's Response: lol. I'm sure a lot of people expected it to go differently -- I know that I did when I began writing the chapter. But I'm glad you liked the direction it took. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. :-D

I was so excited when I saw and update. There is nothing I can say about this that I haven't already said before - probably more than once. I absolutely adore this story. OK so by Spike's own admission his "work" is dodgy but please not to bad. The scene between Spike and Buffy (even though blood was involved) was amazing. It was sad and beautiful and hot. This is so fab and long may it continue.

Author's Response: I was afraid some people might feel squicked out by the scene between Spike and Buffy since blood was involved. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it anyway. Thanks so much for reviewing. :-D
