Nicely handled there. Sure they got rid of Glory without anyone dying, but I still found the scene tense and exciting even if the fight was pretty short. I kind of loved that it was, that's how fights are.

The real strength here though was the dialog. The voices were great. Every character, no matter how little screen time they had, sounded authentic.

The one thing I wanted to see was a little Spike Giles bonding. It's not a thing with me or anything (unlike my fictional character sweetheart, who better have her mind back by the way or i am gonna be all with the impotent rage over here) I just felt the way you wrote those two characters made them feel like they had a kind of chemistry, like they would have gotten along.

Awesome job though really.

P.S. I am of course joking about the whole Tara thing.(mostly, after all she was adorable.)

Author's Response: LOL Well, there is another chapter coming. Maybe all those things will be fixed there. (or, maybe not, I'm not quite finished with it yet) :)

The fight is over, good. It's probably for the best that Buffy knows about what Spike did.

Author's Response: I think she accepts it.

Yes! Buffy finally actually got through to Riley, Spike took care of the 'clean up' of Ben, and Buffy has realized how different a vamp Spike is from the others. And, to top it off, Giles and Spike were actually conspiring together. Bravo!!

Author's Response: Pretty much works out all the way around -so far, anyway. :)
