OMG!!!!!!

I can't tell you how excited I am to see a sequel for this story. I LOVED "I Know You" and always wanted to know what the reactions of the Scoobies/Giles/Angel would be to a Spike with all the Spuffy memories.

Interesting aspect to the story of dealing with *other Buffy and Spike.* Can't wait to see where it all goes.

Great job!!!

Author's Response: Thank you. I hope you like this one too. :)

Great fic! I loved how Giles supported the Spuffy goodness and helped to take down Tavers. Also, loved how you integrated Faith into the story. I personally am a Faith fan and like it when she finds acceptance among the Scoobies.

Having Spike dress up as William, having Spike give Buffy his mother's jewelry, and claim-y-ness always makes my heart pitter-patter!

Awesome fic. Thank you so much!!!!

Author's Response: Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it. : ) I really, really like Faith, too. I was glad to be able to add her to the story.
