So many good things in this chapter. Good and friendly interaction. Everyone got to know how intelligent Spike is. He got thanked for the things he has done. Buffy had some naughty fantasies.
I got a bit worried that Xander has done something in the crypt. I got that thought when I read the ending.

Author's Response: Hi, Magnus. Thanks for your input, I'm really glad you liked the chapter. I wanted to write something a little light, and that was the result. As for Xander, I'm not gonna say, you'll just have to wait and see. >;) Thanks for the review.

There was a ton about this chapter that I just LOVED. You had me choking up a couple of times, then you brought the steam in, and finally you had Buffy standing up for Spike, showing him affection in front of everyone! Out of all of it, I think this line is my very favorite, though: "She could almost hear herself screaming in pleasure as Spike broke her body, then, with a gentleness and love she hoped she could be worthy of, he put her back together again." That sort of covers everything from the steam to the choking up with emotion. :) You're doing so well, Dark Heart! Hard to believe it's your first story. I certainly hope it's not your last! {hugs}

Author's Response: Hey, P4S! Well, thanks for taking the time to review, it means a lot, and thanks for all your wonderful help, without you, I doubt this would be half the story that it is! I'm glad you liked the chapter, and that you could pick out a favourite line. I truly thank you for the compliment, and all your help that you've given me. I hope you know how much I appreciate everything that you've done for me. Thanks again, P4S.
