Good Chapter & More Please

Don't get me wrong I always understood the reluctance to end Ben's life and the argument that went along with it. Killing an innocent for the greater good. I mean when would it end. But (in the show) Ben knew all along so not so innocent. And in the end he was a willing participant in Glory's plan.

But what the monks are proposing well it seems that Glory's host has to go. They are going to spend probably eternity dragging that Gateway thru dimensions, causing untold pain and suffering everywhere it goes. Thousands would suffer and die.

Buffy blaming herself for Riley is typical. She has a savior complex granted mostly deserved by her calling. But she keeps forgetting FREE WILL. Everyone has it, and you can't protect people from it. Riley made his choice, with full understanding of the risks. That does not lay the blame at Buffy's feet. But she will take it partly because of her calling but also I think because of the pressure her friends place on her to be a savior to them. They help sure but when it comes down to it they expect her to save the day no matter the cost to her. So everyone she can't save makes her feel like a failure.

I can't describe how much I am in love with your story. The characterization of Buffy and Spike (and Giles!) is just perfect. I can see everything you write happen in the TV episodes. You are brilliant and I hope to be able to read the next chapter really soon!

You write Spike and Buffy so wonderfully, and you dealt with the Riley dead thing very nicely. Looking forward to the next chapter.

So Buffy is finally admitting that Spike feels more than what Giles and Angel said vamps could feel? More than bloodlust and hate. Love, affection, concern things she never thought he could do. The fact that he basically told her he loves her but is willing to be friends and wants to be friends, well hopefully that will allow Buffy to really see him.

this is reall really good!...please update soon :D

Great story so far. I confess Riley's death really took me by surprise.

I really love this story! Buffy's struggle with her feelings toward Spike, their interaction and that little lovestory between Joyce and Giles...this story is definitely going to be added to favorites!

Update! And please hurry! :)

wow great chapter more please

I knew she'd go get him. It's just what she'd do, you know? And maybe they can help each other out a little.

BTW, I'm wondering if Joyce is going to die this time around, what with her being healed and the thing with Giles. Something to think about I suppose...

Why Giles and Joyce never got together after teh band candy was a mystery to me.

They had a spark to them.

Great chapter, I liked the moment between Joyce and Giles
