Nice update :)

Love it, so it was her father that hurt her, for some reason I thought it was a boyfriend. I glad that Buffy is not hiding it anymore.
Wonder what Dru will do to Buffy and Spike.
More please.

Enjoying the story....quite a bit.
The grammatical errors, etc, word omissions, and such do break up the pace of the tale; sometimes I have to stop, back up and figure out what you were meaning to say, especially when words are left out/mis-spelled/incorrect words used (might better say "word mispelled", and so on...and sometimes, though not canon characters, rather AU's just BtVS folks set in a whole other 'verse/setting, my suggestion would be to watch your character's speech/verbal patterns and characterization....so far you've seemed to have a fairly interesting and good take on Spike, and I think have his personality patterns down best, followed maybe by Oz and Faith ('cepting her on the show often extremely loveable sluttiness....) seems you have cleaned her up a tad...however, you've taken Buffy off into some other direction, way opposed to her usual. A bit like her S6 state of mind, tho'. And didn't we all want to see her healed and fixed by Spike then? Surely we will see it then through your tale?
Do you have a Beta? I'm not sure if anything special is required, but if just proofreading or perhaps suggestions, or maybe some sentence/paragraph cleanup was needed, I would be happy to help....not sure how one goes about it.
And hey, everybody, even the most anal of us, makes typos, or types/writes when they're tired or hyper and the brain is one gear off from the fingers....LOL!
So, I hope I haven't said anything to offend. I didn't mean to criticize, at least not without some constructiveness to go along with it...
Please keep up with the story...I keep checking back to see if more has been added....when I was in nursing school 20 odd yrs ago, I did a chunk of my training at Orlando Naval Training Ctr's hospitals and clinics, and ER (plus I did makeup days there; our school had an arrangement w/the base hosp/clinic system). I learned a lot of respect for those folks, especially corpsmen/women. They had 3-4 times as much to learn in a much shorter time than I had to process anywhere near as much info, much less procedural experience, plus they had to pull duty shifts (like guard duty, soldierly-like stuff, no matter that they were in a non-combatant position other times, like a paper or needle/pill pusher as a corpsman/doc/nurse, etc.....I don't know HOW they managed to function! And these duties were not something where they got to sit around and shoot the bull or push papers, etc....it was actually physical work. I saw, working in and among a LARGE medical complex, two total screwups on their way out of the system during my training. BTW, we nursing students actually had to be "sworn in"! Had docs and confidentiality agreements and such....and waaay before 9/11....
I also dated/went to prom with a Navy guy, ran with a galpal who was a squid/sailor groupie, took classes when at University that were held on the city where I live's biggest base (NAS Jax (Jacksonville, FL)), was study buddies w/ a career navy guy, my godmother's hubby is a retired admiral, not that that level of society was my priviledge often, dated/lived w/a man in formerly navy turned FL Nat'l Guard, and Jax is a huge Navy town. Heck, if my mother had been less controlling I would have been a USO volunteer. And, since I do various eras of historical re-enacting, I have almost full gear for a WWII (army/WAC) ANC (Nurse Corps) combat nurse....everything except a "musette bag, helmet, and could use a regular shirt as opposed to T's that could be worn under my ORIGINAL M-41 jacket (that comes down way past my hips as I'm only 5'3" tall! ) AND I did pet food promos for Pro Plan and some other merchandizing as an independant contractor at the PX at NAS Jax....And am glad it didn't go on after 9/11 and all the crazy security measures....at one point the base entrance was all sandbagged.....All this to say I do have some realization and understanding of some things military, tho' not necessarily so much the interaction btwn unit members...and I'm still learning more, tho' in truth of an earllier era...
Good luck, and keep us fic junkies fed, keep the story coming! Wll wait impatiently!
K.
BTW, your term "squoddie" is not something I've ever heard...is that a regional term, like used in the north or northwest part of the US? Does it mean "member of a squad of military guys" or?
