So bueatiful. I do so like it when they kiss and make up :) And you do write it so prettily :)

Thanks for the kind words, sweetie. I was actually saying to Eowyn that I thought this is one of the prettier things I've written in terms of imagery and word-usage. Glad you agree =D And who doesn't like a sweet reunion? There will be a bit more sweetness yet before the fur starts flying.

Ooooooooh very cool hun, i love how you delve deep into their thoughts n actions, you describe spikes reason for not going back faaar far better than canon ever did.

Thanks so much, Tam. I tried to really suss out their motivations here, especially Spike's since it's always a debate on why he never went to her. For the purposes of this story, the reasons I give are what I'm sticking to. I'll try to have more up soon.

And happy birthday! I'm in the process of moving, so not much time, but I hope to have something written for you eventually. It might be rather late though. So sorry!

And yeah your reasons for spike not returning sit really well with me, wish joss had explored that further in canon. But ugh he really didnt seem that interested in poor ole spikey.

It smelled like Watcher. He’d know that scent of academia, tweed, and sexual repression anywhere.

Haha. Spot on!! Watchers be ware of Spikes' infallible nose!
You write this in a way that just makes you want more and more. The spuffiness is a double edged sword - I like it a lot!!

I always really love acknowledging the importance of sensual information for Spike and what he is able to glean from his enhanced smell/taste/hearing, etc. As a vampire it's an integral part of who he is, and we'll see how his changes effect that part of his identity.

Glad you're enjoying the fic so far. And yes, their reunion is good, but they have a very bumpy road ahead, as seen in the first chapter. Things are never easy for them =)

Noticed how Buffy was a little insecure ...'I was here, too, you know,” she went on. Her eyes drifted down to settle on his chest. “I talked to you a lot.”
Sweet reunion.
Then, Buffy hesitates... 'maybe Spike was right. Maybe she did need the pain that he caused her, that she caused herself, to make it through, to survive.'
Promises and hope for the future.

Hi, Louise! Thanks for reading. Yes, Buffy is a little insecure, and it can't be easy reconnecting with someone that you always kept at arms length and rejected constantly. She has a lot to make up for, and Spike will certainly be walking on eggshells despite the reunion. Next chapter will explore a bit more of what sorts of issues they are going to have to work through together.
