Yes :D
Good idea to bring Spike back with the linked hands (and the scythe).
Sounds as if Buffy has to tell Spike a secret now. ;)
Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Aww, you are such a great reviewer Cordykitten. I look forward to my little daily fix from you. Only 5 chapters to go - will probably post just 2 chappies a day now as the last few need a bit of polishing and I still haven't quite finished the last chapter. And I've done no schoolwork these holidays - oh no!!
