WOW!

What a twist!

But i can see Drusilla singing that words right now. I think it can be crazy enough for her. Thank you very much. And please continue, of course.

Really enjoying this! I'm especially impressed that you can write believably for Spike both with and without a soul. Lots of people downplay how evil he is pre-chip/soul but you've kept the monster.

I also like your Dru, properly deranged and playful.

It'll be interesting to see if Dru really wants a soul or if it's just a ploy to get close to Spike (and friends?). Are you going to go into details of what she's been up to since "Crush"?

Constructive criticism:- It might be a bit far-fetched that both the slayer and the mother manage to miss that Spike is a vampire. When he's unconscious he won't be breathing, when the mother's doing the first aid she should notice he doesn't have a pulse. The usual reasons given for Buffy not noticing Angel is a vamp is that she has unusually crappy slayer-sense and that the hellmouth "jams the signal". Does any of that apply to the chinese slayer?

Technical point:- It's canon that Cecily is the same character as Halfrek the vengeance demon (it's never made clear if Cecily was her original identity or just a 'cover'). You might want to label this as minor AU.
