Definitely liking this plot so far.  I did notice that Chapter 6 was cut off prematurely though.  Will we be able to read the rest of the great steaminess?

I swear, colective conciousness is real. These last few months I've been digging through the archives for a plot that had Dawn as they're magicaly concived child around the time of Something Blue. Where Spike is desperatly pulling all the stops and even going as far as to create his own so that Buffy and his Nibblet will be happy, Safe, and Secure, while Buffy stuggles with Duty, Feelings, Instict, Pregiduce, and the fear of the Unknown. Thank you so much for writing this and I deeply hope that you will continue to update, or I may just cry. I may end up crying anyway if Buffy gets snaged by Walsh before Spike can make a pre-emtive (sp?)srike with rallied demons to send the Initiative into lockdown.  

I'm also concered that spike is going to get so frustred that he'll get pissed drunk and do something stupid to make Buffy close him off to the side lines. I hope Tera gets to come around to provide some calmness and and some unbiased advice and hopefully gain a quicker self esteam boost being in close contact with Spike, the one who sees all.

And although I know losing Joyce would be utteraly heartbreaking, I hope you keep that to canon because it would force Buffy to realize she needs someone to lean on, and that it's perfectly natural to allow someone else to take charge for awhile.  Becides, watching Spike have to step up as Alpha Male/Head of House/Devoted Father would be both amazingly hot and Godamn funny.

Waiting ansiously(sp?),
