Oh, I don't hate reptiles or anything. I like them fine, and think they're rather neat, as long as they're in their space (preferably an enclosed space), and I'm in mine. It's when they start getting too near me, or are say, placed on my shoulder without warning, that I get unhappy. If I'd have woken up with a coatl on me, I'd have either flung her across the room or frozen and bleated in terror. But you've actually made me fond of a reptile on a level I usually reserve for mammals. So perhaps what we learn is, a story counts as an enclosed space for purposes of my comfort level. :D

Author's Response: Fair enough. That net was a little more broadly cast though, because some of the fic's other reviewers have pointed out their dislike of snakes. I, however, sometimes get in trouble at work for letting my snake hide in my hair. That tends to make my office mate jumpy, I wonder why... Oh, and Spike would have flung the coatl off of his chest as well. That's why I made him so very hung over. ;-)

I don't think it is humanly possible for me to love this story more than I already do.

Author's Response: :-D Thank you!

Yes, good Meret. Good vision-sending serpent. Many exsanguinated rats for her. Or whatever she likes. *pets the coatl* Amazing how you've made me so fond of fictional snake – I think it helps if I think of her as a bird. *g*

And I don't think anyone would have begrudged Spike a little weep after the week he had.

Very nice chapter, even better on rereading when I wasn't worried. I liked the Spike POV on his healing. The reunion scene was touching without being overly sentimental. "It's enough." Deftly done.

Author's Response: I love reptiles so much that it's easy for me to forget that a lot of people really, really don't. Thanks for giving my little serpent a chance (and taking the time to review) anyway!

Great update! Loved Spike's antics. Swatting Xander back of t he head, etc. And let's not forget little Meret. Do we find out Maclin's patron?

Author's Response: Yes, in the last chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Yay!!!!!!!! That turned out beautifully, and Meret is one smart cookie.

I'm sure Buffy's new ring looks beautiful on her finger.

Giles hiding something...hmm....

Spike testing the twinges by smacking Xander and pinching Anya....that's hysterical. Well, hey, he's a better ally now. He can actually protect Dawn and Buffy and Tara now, if needed.

I wonder what he gave them for Christmas.....?

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm kind of laughing at myself, because I didn't even think about the timing when I decided that I wanted the include the Christmas stuff at the end of the story.

Only one more part? (I thought it would be longer (because I remembered that I read that the first half was "Spike-centric" and the second half was "Spuffy-centric".. or something like that.) So Spike survived so far. And Buffy is there too. A trick they used for the sorcerer. And it seems the chip is broken. Mmmm best healer: Slayer blood. And Meret brought Buffy the Sangre de Cristo ruby. He had thought about it enough to alert Meret to do so I think. Oh and since the chip did burn out Spike will be able to train with Buffy. Christmas... and Spike has gifts. Looking forward to find out what he did get everyone. And vice versa.

Author's Response: Some of my best laid plans got tweaked, and I'm planning on writing a sequel. (Um, oops?) Thanks for reviewing!

Spike's resurrection at Buffy's hand in Joyce's bed was emotional and an excellent way to begin this chapter's theme of his acceptance into the Scooby fold. I thoroughly enjoyed your description of his adolescent antics upon learning of the diminished powers of the chip. Meret's active role in Spike's rescue and Buffy's recovery was an interesting side bar, and I'm still wondering about Maclin's patron.

Author's Response: I'll hopefully clean up the rest of the loose ends in the next chapter. I'm glad you liked the healing scene. It was a toughy to write. Thanks for reviewing!

Author's Response: Of course! Thanks for reviewing!

One present for Buffy. One present for Dawn. One present for Tara. One pre...se...n...t for me? Erm... WW... where's my present from Spike, hmm? *pouts*

So... Giles knows something about Maclin's mysterious 'patron', eh? And... Buffy fed her blood to Spike. *sqeeeeyessss*sighshappysighs*!

Only one more installment? WHAT?! Noooo.... surely you jest, WW? This is the start of a novel length adventure. The beginning of the Coatlverse. Please?

*Chrissie gets out her magic flute, sits cross-legged on floor and starts to play mesmerising, hypnotic melody to WW*

Author's Response: *Falls under spell. Drools a little.* Will. Write. Sequel. There's Spike's present for you. I spent too much time looking up obscure snake myths for this story to have not come up with a few ideas. I have another little project in the works right now, but I am planning on coming back to the "coatlverse." Thanks for reviewing!
