Summary: Maybe Spike did something faster, more clever at the end of 'The Gift'.

Author's Response: Hi Asharah, thanks for taking the time to stop in and leave me a comment. And as for Xander, no, I don't think he will learn, but mainly because he CAN'T! If it's not his fault, then as far as he's concerned, there's nothing for him TO learn. We learn from mistakes made, right? But he doesn't think he's made any, so... what can he learn from those 'non-mistakes'? Anyway, thanks for your comments, and take care. X

He is NEVER gonna learn is he? It's never his fault, somebody else always to blame.

Author's Response: BarbC's suggested that Spike would have a bull terrier "spirit animal" if such things happened in Buffyverse fic. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Terrier The older version, circa 1915, fits him, I think. As much as I love the idea of Pomeranian!Spike, I think Buffy's mythical 18th century father would breed something a bit more in the hunting/working dog range.

I was hoping that as soon as Richard left, Buffy would shove Xander against the wall and threaten him with bodily harm if he EVER pulled a stunt like that on her again. He actually thought his setup was working out?

Post-Season 5, an alternate reality take on Season 6, but not so crazy-alternate that anyone's unrecognisable. Starts with strong Spike and Dawn friendship, and builds from there. Just lots of small tweaks that pack a punch - like the odd bit of honest communication amongst the Scoobies.
Be warned, Buffy is dead until Chapter 5, and the rating is mostly intended for later in the story.
This story is still being updated: expect new chapters every month-ish.
Runner Up for Best Angst in round 30 of the SunnyD Awards.

Well, to quote Dawn in another Season 6 fic, "Great. Come in, Angel. We don't have nearly enough stress here yet!"
Although I always did wonder why, if Willow was so bloody powerful she could raise the dead, she couldn't fix the stupid "perfect happiness" issue with Angel's curse.

How does Tara have money? I've never seen her have a job and her family disowned her. Did her mom manage to squirrel away something for her that Tara's Dad didn't know about?
Willow I can understand having money, since I'm assuming her parents are still supporting her while she's in school.
Author's Response:
She's at university, she has to have some money... Grants, scholarships, loans, etc.
And she hasn't paid any rent or other living costs besides food for 5 months, but has presumably still been getting loan etc money.
I imagine there may also have been some kind of disability payout while she was crazy, plus I don't imagine she was spending much of her own money then.

You know, I can't recall the fact that Buffy should have been getting support money from her father for Dawn being ever addressed. One of the little details somebody should have thought of long ago.

I've seen it addressed a few times - usually, though, it's addressed as something she should have but doesn't.

Xander, you desperately need to be hit by a clue-by-four. Whether Willow intends to do harm is not the point, she IS causing harm.

Xander doesn't know what's been happening, poor thing. He only knows about what happened the night they resurrected Buffy, and the memory spell from just now. Why would those two things be enough to make him distrust Willow?

Buffy, the guy attacked Giles, tried to set fire to your house and Tara is lucky to be alive after getting the front door thrown at her. Not to mention all the other people he killed. Who cares if he was human? So was Jeffrey Dahmer.
Author's Response:
Season 6 Buffy is clinically depressed and is fairly heavily absorbed by self-hatred and guilt. She has also been trained to think demons = evil, humans = good. This whole part of her journey is making peace with the fact that she kills sentient beings - something the Council always tried to protect her from; and that she is *allowed* to have feelings for a vampire. She will not always think like this, but it is how she is thinking in this moment.

Giles, I realize finding a therapist for somebody with Buffy's issues, who's not gonna yell for the guys in the white coats when she starts talking about vampires and being raised from the dead, is not gonna be easy. But you need to do something. I would hope the Watcher's Council has somebody with a psychology degree who can deal with depressed or traumatized Slayers. Buffy can't be the first Slayer with problems like this.
By the way Giles, if you are going to continue to live in Buffy's house, shouldn't you be paying rent too?

I think poor Tara definately needs a break from everyone. Maybe Giles can send her to England to spend some time with the Coven so she can get away from all this mess.
I think Xander & Anya definately need some couples therapy. Maybe she should have gotten a hint when he kept putting off announcing the engagement.
Author's Response:
Xander and Anya have split up... bit late for therapy :)
Summary: Another spell goes wrong when Willow tries to make Buffy forget the time she was engaged to Spike, instead bringing back a memory that she was never supposed to have.

What, no second chapter of Scoobies fweakin' out?
Summary: Written for a friend who needed cheering up, this is a sequel to "Double Bubble Toil and....." Spike and Buffy are struggling to figure out where they stand with each other after the non-canon events of Double Bubble, Willow is worrying Giles with her lack of understanding about how dangerous her actions were before he drained her magic, and Riley has had less interaction with Buffy and therefore is more willing to believe she may be a demon of some sort.

I totally agree. Buffy is taking baby steps toward her independence, and her standing up for herself was the first step.
