I absolutely loved this whole story. All of it from Spike loving grown up Xander to Spike loving Xander enough to take care of him when he reverts to being 6. I especially liked that Auntie Dru came to the rescue. After having Spike take care of her for 'soddin' forever i was nice that she could do something for him.

I really liked this story - very sweet. I liked the way Spike was so devoted to Xander even though Xander thought he was six. Reading this gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, I just wanted to cuddle the little guy! LOL

I only have 2 criticisms:
1. The story is out of order, I didn't notice until I hit Chapter 4 when I should have been reading Chapter 8 - it threw off the flow of the story.
2. Spike constantly calling Xander "Xan-pet" got on my nerves from the beginning. I thought it was a bit inappropriate especially when he said it around others, since no one was supposed to know about their relationship. Once in a while privately and when Xan first went missing - to me it seems that that would have been more poignant - that's when we would know that he really loved him.

I really, really like your Spike and Xander. The depth of caring is just amazing. You might (constructive criticism, here) need a beta reader for basic spelling, grammar, and sentence structure; boring stuff, why should you sweat it? :-). Hopefully leaving you more time to write beautiful stories like this one.

I think six year olds have some sense of identity. How come he doesn't realize he's physically different? Oh well. Loving the story regardless.

This story was fantastic!

I loved the way you showed Spikes tender side, without making him seem weak.

And the scene with a sugar hyper Xander was too, too funny! I sat and laughed
untill my ribs ached.

Great job!

Love this story, but I thought you should know...You have chapter 4 posted in the spot for chapter 8. You go 1-3 skip to 5-8 back to 4 then 9-10.
