Yaay you...thank you for following season 6 canon closely enough to place this fic in a recognisable context but for not allowing our characters to go down the very unhealthy path that they did in BtVS. I can understand why things happened as they did on the show but always felt that with just a little more compassion and/or maturity on any one of the main players' parts the season could have been vastly different (and not nearly as ugly and unhealthy as it was). They say the darkest trials provide opportunity for necessary growth and I think I like the way this fic is encouraging our characters to grow so keep it up and I'll follow it with fascination!

Author's Response: Joss has said that the whole season was about growing up, but jeez, I wanted to strangle every one of the characters at some point for being so selfish and immature. I guess that's why I wanted to write a healthier version of season 6. I'm glad you're liking my spin on things! Thanks for the review!

Very interesting; I assume the robed figures are there for Meret?

Also enjoying the direction you've taken Spike's relationship with Buffy. I have to admit that I always liked the big "Once more with feeling" kiss, but I can see where it might be construed as heading their relationship in an unhealthy direction-- Spike's desperation for her acknowledgment, Buffy's feeling that she's betraying her friends by kissing him, etc. I’m looking forward to seeing if you handle things differently!

Also curious to find out what’s up w/ Giles!


Author's Response: I loved the OMWF kiss too, just not what happened afterward. I'm glad you're liking how I'm changing their dynamic. Thanks for reviewing!

Spike and Meret, the Tomb Raiders *gg* Must have been fun to watch. So Giles will leave soon? At last now Buffy will have money to pay the bills. Butterfly nets? It sounds as if they want to catch Meret - this is sooooo not good. Loved reading the chapter :)

Author's Response: Lara Croft they are not. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Wow, I don't think I've ever encountered this as a money-making endevor for Spike before! Kudos! Everyone goes the 'poker-pool-sort of legitimate job as a bouncer' way.

I'm loving this and I can't wait for the rest of the gang to meet Meret, but I'm also enjoying that she's still sort of Spike's private friend.

Author's Response: A thought it was kind of funny that Spike had all of these treasure hunting adventures - the de Lac cross, the gem of Amarrah - but couldn't figure out how to make more money on the show outside of poker and blackmail. Silly vampire. :-) Thanks for the review!

This story is very entertaining and well detailed. I'm especially enjoying the relationship between Spike and Meret. Meret is coming off as more a friend than a pet, and her empathic abilities are a grounding force for Spike. Spike's quest for money is also an intriguing plot device, and I love the attention to detail you're putting into his endeavors. Spike's fiscal relationship with The Magic Box makes sense and is also well handled. The dialogue is in character and the entire story is moving quickly without being rushed. I'm looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! Thanks for leaving a review!

I just love this story so much. The relationship between Spike and Meret is priceless. In fact, the way the relationship between Giles and Spike and Anya and Tara is so interesting that I haven't even missed Buffy. I mean of course Spike is doing all this is being done for Buffy. I don't miss her rejecting him. Now you're turning evil with the butterfly nets. We all know what that means. Please don't let anything happen to meret. She's just too cute for words. I'll stop babbling now.

Author's Response: Thanks! I promise that there will be more Buffy later, but I'm glad you like the relationships with the other characters too.

Oh, no! I just hope they're not there to try to capture Meret. Please, pretty please, hurry up with the next chapter, I'm dying to read more of this. Excellent chapter, btw!

Author's Response: Thanks for commenting! The real question is: Will they be successful? :-D

Great story. I am however missing the friendship Spike seemed to have with Buffy before they first kissed. In fact I miss any interaction with Buffy since there don't seem to be any at this point.

Author's Response: I promise that I'll be getting to Buffy in a few chapters. Thanks for the review!

'Dum de-dum dum dummmmm'... cue spooky, ominous music... Chrissie runs for the crypt and hides in Meret's crib while Spike and she wrassle the baddies.

So glad Giles found a way to tie Spike into the Magic Box and to Buffy. Sure Anya will settle down and realise she's just tied her most valuable supplier to her. Hope Buffy's going to come along and help Spike and meret out soon... Great update!

Author's Response: Hee hee! The story got some theme music! I'm glad you're enjoying the fic. Buffy will start making appearances in a little bit, I promise. Thanks for the review!

Uhoh, someone looking for Spike's little friend? I like how you've twisted certain canon events to fit the story. . . deal with RL we'll wait on the updates

Author's Response: I'm stressed out in real life, which makes me want to take time to write. However, I'm stressed because I don't have enough time to get everything done as it is. So writing makes the situation both better and worse at the same time. It's a funny paradox. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks for reviewing!

The kind looking to catch a coatl.

They really could have chosen a better last name for William in that comic. Pratt is kind of insulting.

Hmm, what's Giles up to?

Author's Response: I thought it was silly at first too, but then I read that William Pratt was Boris Karloff's real name. Seeing as how I love the old horror films, I figured there were worse people he could have been named after. As for Giles, I'm going to sit on that secret for a bit. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!
