I love that Buffy "cheated" instead of having Spike pull off some miraculous victory. This was much more believable and so very typical Buffy. I also like that you used the dreams to establish Dru and Buffy's friendship before they actually met, rather than having them take an instant liking to each other when they did meet, which would be totally unrealistic. And I loved the epilogue with the Watchers and Drusilla wanting to not have to take care of Spike anymore. Hysterical. :D

Oh, and I love the new layout and will get around to reading your Sparla fic sometime this weekend. Since you and eurydice72 have made me such an addict for that 'ship. ;)
