Liked the Giles hug and then push away - his true love for his adopted daughter allows him to overcome his natural repulsion at physical closeness. Also, you are a tease:
But his stance, his demeanor, was absolutely different. Everything about the way this version of Spike carried himself spoke of humility and submission – and more than a little fear."
How did arrogant, confident Spike get to this terrible place and how is Buffy going to cure him? |
glad you are enjoying it...giles can be tough to get right, but i thought that might be how he would respond...dont worry...he's going to get his spike-ness back  |

| JL - I don't like to see Spike so whipped. You are going to fix this aren't you? |
| oh definitely, i promise |

| Thank you for the update. You have done a fantastic job of showing how a physically strong women like Buffy can become the victim of an abusive spouse, and that the abuse is not always of a physical nature. |
| thanx...i don't think actual physical strength is what determines it, it's emotional health (insecurity, self-worth, etc.) glad you are liking this |

| Good old Giles - at least he can handle her re-education. |
| yeah, i think he's up to it |

| I like Giles's different versions of the reunion. I'm glad he wasn't immediately forgiving, even if he did forgive her. |
| thanx, glad you're liking it...giles is too much like her father to not at least reprimand her for what she did |

| Very good chapter! That is pretty much how I thought the reunion would go. I like Giles' words to Spike about calling him Rupert or Watcher, very good! |
| thanx... the dynamic between spike and the others is very much changed since before the slavery .. glad you are enjoying it |

| Great chapter. I liked the way Giles spoke to Buffy.He reprimended her without "doing it", and that was good. I really hope Spike gets his selfconfidence back soon. I´m courous about the other vampires in the house, and their future interaction with Spike. Waiting anxiously for the next chapter. |
| thanx, glad you liked it...things should be getting interested |

| omg, that was so not the reaction i was expecting.. that was so much more *touching*!.. it was so real and true to life.. im so glad that giles has forgiven her.. |
| thanx that's what i was aiming for...of course he would forgive her, but not just let her think everything was okay with what she did glad you liked it |
