Where'd Meret go??!!
Author's Response: :-D Tsk. You know I won't tell! (At least not until the next chapter.) Thanks for commenting!

WhooHoo... me like, me like!
Me like Billy - much better effort than Randy, for a start, and his lack of reflection was a cool way to have them gathering around him, poking and prodding maybe, but no snarkage.
Me like that Anya didn't automatically shun Alex as a potential fiance and jump on Giles just 'cause they are joint owners of the Magic Box. You didn't do the sexual innuendo with Willow and Tara either, interesting. You also didn't share Buffy's thoughts, even more interesting *adopts poor Austrian scientist accent and mumbles, "Verrrry interestink!"*
Buffy and Dawn's sisterly recognition was so logical and natural that I'm glad you kept that.
Now, where have you put dear Meret? Oohhh... and, now they all are getting Merety vibes!? Oh, Oh, and... Billy had something pointy in his pocket!
*Chrissie wanders off to dream of pointy things in Billys pocket*
You're a lovely storyteller, pet.
Author's Response: It probably doesn't help matters that I tend to listen to Billy Idol's greatest hits while writing, does it? ;-) I'm sticking to Spike's POV, so the other character's interactions and emotions are going to be filtered through a Spike-shaped sieve. (I wonder if they sell those...) Thanks for reviewing!

*gasp indeed - Buffy is in this chapter?* ;-) well - you mentioned it *gg* Should I say typical? Anya's first thought is about the money and Xander manage it go get his foot in his mouth.. kind of. He's speaking without thinking. Ah - Tabula Rasa... where's Meret? And what does Spike mean when he says he smells death? Looking forward to find out!
Author's Response: Definitely more Spuffy (or is it Boan now, or Jilly...) interaction in the next chapter. I hope that doesn't make anyone faint. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Oh - I'm soo glad I wasn't wrong - two chapters to read :) The friendship between Tara and Spike is nice. It seems as if Meret has her fully accepted her because Tara can hear her *on to the next chapter*
Author's Response: Surprise! As for Meret's connection with Tara, she's contacting people she recognizes as Spike's "family." Thanks for reviewing!

Another excellent chapter that fits well with canon. Tara was always a sympathetic character, and her link with Meret is allowing her to empathize with Spike. The entire crypt scene was well described and in character. The idea of these characters watching a show about the occult made me laugh. I'm looking forward to how this relationship is going to alter the Season 6 storyline.
Author's Response: I must admit that tweaking canon has been a lot of fun. However, after the next couple of chapters, the story really diverges from what we saw on the show. (What, no Trio?!) I'm glad you're liking the fic. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Like it when someone is nice to Spike. Waiting to see where the story goes. Hopefully Giles will have to eat crow soon.
Author's Response: I'll have to say that's a definite maybe ;-) Thanks for commenting!

I love this chapter. The Spike & Tara friendship is very fitting. I actually think it was an opportunity lost in the show. Tara was mature beyond her years and a great empath. As a Redemptionista, I think she would have seen Spike's gradual transformation for what it should have been, a being once controlled by evil fighting to regain the light - *oops... went and dragged my old soapbox into your review, sorry*
A great progression chapter too, with the reveal of Meret's link to Tara and the introduction of canon issues that will, I assume, become integral to the ongoing tale. Well written, pet!
*wanders off to do some housework whistling a merry tune*
Author's Response: Not to worry, soapboxes are welcome! (And for the record, I thought it was a lost opportunity too.) I'm glad you're liking the story, even in the transitional parts like this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

What a nice relationship developing between Spike and Tara. I'm always happy to see an update!

Always thought those two could be good friends if they had the time. I like writing them that way, too.
Author's Response: Spike and Tara would have worked for the same reason that Spike and Dawn worked. None of them were ever really "in" with the core Scoobies. I'm glad you're liking the story. Thanks for reviewing!

Great chapter, love the friendship betwen Spike and Tara. Always liked Tara on the show and thought she and Spike should have a deeper friendship.
Author's Response: I wish we could have seen more of Spike interacting with the other Scoobies on the show. Oh well. Thanks for reviewing!

Awwe!
Loved the comfortable, relaxed friendship that Spike and Tara are developing here. It was something that both of them sorely needed in season 6, and I'm wondering how it will change how things work out in your 'verse. I'm guessing it will work out to be a positive change!
Love the mental image of Spike, Tara and Meret watching unsolved mysteries (or whatever) and eating popcorn. Though salty popcorn on poor Spike's burns sounds painful!
Author's Response: I really wanted to start working Spike in with the other Scoobies, instead of just Buffy, in this story. I'm glad you're liking how I'm changing the character dynamics. Thanks for reviewing!

This was such a sweet chapter. I'm so happy to see how the tentative friendship between Spike and Tara has evolved to a real friendship. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Spike really needed a few characters in his corner, especially in seasons 5 and 6. Thanks for reviewing!

The fight was well choreographed and vivid, and you did an excellent job describing Spike's injuries. Giles' unthinking claim about Spike's inability to link with Meret was an excellent device to distance Spike from the Scoobies. I'm looking forward to the evolution of Spike's relationship with the group, and learning what nefarious plot the mage is up to.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'll try not to disappoint!

This story just gets better and better. You have amazing descriptive talents. I was going to give some examples, but I realized I wanted to quote almost the entire chapter. It's really beautifully written.

As usual, another great update. To keep telling you how much I love this story is getting redundant, I know. Your pacing is impeccable. Keep doing what your doing. Love Tara in this story. She had the most insight of anybody in the show. except for Spike. Jean
Author's Response: I can appreciate redundancy. :-D I'm gad you're liking Tara, seeing as how she's going to be in this fic a lot. Thanks for reviewing!

Yay! An extra treat chapter.
*sigh* Giles can be a real ass.
Very glad Tara is bonding with them, though. The whole group respects her, so her views will carry weight when the time comes.
Author's Response: Giles is just being a watcher, which can in fact translate to "ass" sometimes. I'm working on him. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!
