Such a sweet and tender chapter. I love the tentativeness between Spike and Buffy as they finally take the moment to appreciate the fact that they are both still here, and finally together. If something is meant to be, the world has a way of making it happen. Those two, clearly meant to be. Such passion that can be derived from their mutual loss. I just love it. Such power in their connection. So powerful, it almost made me forget about poor Faith coming to, kind of, on the other side of town. And our Faith seems to be quite strong. Can't wait to see what that means. Update soon.

Author's Response: I'm happy you think so, since that was I wanted it to look like. :) Isn't the most important thing the miracle that they are both alive (or undead in Spike's case ;)) and together? Buffy has come to realize that and tries to just drink in the opportunity they've been given. Sparks are flying between them right now so things might get a bit more intimate in the next chapter. ;) It will be a big step in their relationship and something new not only for Buffy but also for Spike. Your words are so kind, it's really great to know you like the connection they share. :) As about Faith... yup, she indeed seems strong and you'll find out what has happened to her though not immediately. Thank you so much for the wonderful review!!! :D

Awwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I simply loved the spuffyness, how they got nearer again. At the moment it seems that things are okay. Hopefully it will stay this way, Spike not doing a stupid thing again.

Faith? feeling the metal bend under her hands before So not normal. She's a bit different now, huh? Sounds more like Buffy.

And no question asked - I'd rather read a new chapter and re-read the edited one later a second time. :D

Author's Response: Hee... you're so awesome. I just thought you should know. ;) I loved writing them all mushy and getting all cozy as well. Hmm... there might be some exciting Spuffy stuff in the next chapter, but I'm not saying anything. ;) And who knows what Spike will get into his head, let's hope nothing sinister. As with Faith... Nope, definitely not normal. Stuff is happening to her. We'll see if her and Buffy will have more in common ot it's something else. Hee... so good to know! That option seems to be winning out so far so I'll probably update once a week till she comes back, re-edit it then and start updating twice a wekk again. Thank you for being your usual yummy self!!! :D
