Very nice twist with Darla! I did not see that coming!

So Darla has come for Spike, wonder what will happen with that.
Author's Response: Well, I can see you've read on further, so you know why Darla is here. Thanks for all the feedback, I really appreciate it.

*waves hi* Late reading still love to see the update :)
One problem less for Buffy now with Daryl gone. (And doesn't that sting that it was so easily done?) But I wonder what Buffy will do.... Spike wanted to show/teach her something first so I wonder if he'll go anyway. Looking forward to find out. Could get interesting. :)
Author's Response: Hi there. Spike does have some rather confused emotions about the whole thing, but I don't think he'd willingly stay a slave. And things are about to get more interesting.

I loooooove it!!!! This is getting better and better!
Is this the first step of making Buffy evil? Making her part of the Aurelius Clan? please update soon!
Author's Response:
Author's Response: Thanks so much. And this is the first step to something for Buffy, but I won't say what.

oooh, big twist there, i hope that everything works out, please, for the love of spike, update soon? i can't wiat to read more of your story. update soon.

Doesn't Spikke just have the worse luck? First slimy Daryl wants to "play" with the slave, now Darla wants to purchase him? Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire! Great tale. More please.
Author's Response: Thanks, and I hope to have more soon. As for Spike's luck, if he didn't have the bad luck to become a salve in the frist place, it would be much of a story. He really does have the worst luck in this fic.

I really enjoy this fice. This was a great chapter. Love the introduction of Daryl. I hope you will be able to continue to post regularly.
Author's Response: Thanks. And don't worry, the way things are looking now I should be able to continue to post on a fairly regular basis. Of course my life takes wild and unexpected turns.

I am so glad that you included Darla. I just love her.
Author's Response: Thanks. The truth is Darla is a bit of an obsession of mine, and she was the perfect plot device for this story.

great chapter

Ooh, I don't think Spike would like being purchased by Darla. I really hope she doesn't sell him because I want more fighty sex between them. And Happy Birthday!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks. And Spike doesn't like being purchased by anyone. But I think he'll be pretty warry of Darla's motives, at least until he has a better idea of what she's up to (and of course, she's up to something).

Great Darla tie in, look foward to more

Can't wait to see what happens next! Great chapter!
Date: 12/18/2006 - 01:53 am Title: Dea ex Machina
Loved it. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I love this story, its similar to Buyer Beware but still different and you post more often, so go you & Happy Birthday
Author's Response: Thanks, and you must have found this story in the last month or so, because before that I was insanely bad about posting. But hopefully I'll be able to keep up the regular posting well into the New Year.
Date: 12/17/2006 - 08:04 pm Title: Dea ex Machina
Happy Birthday!
I have said before that I love this story and the latest chapter did little to disappoint.
That was a twist that I certainly wasn't expecting and the easy demise of Daryl somehow compounds the horror he had wrought in Buffy's life.
Wonderful premis; wonderful writing. Thank you.
Author's Response: Thanks. Originally I thought Daryl would occupy a lot more time in this story, but then I realized that wasn't really necessary.
Date: 12/17/2006 - 08:02 pm Title: Dea ex Machina
Happy Birthday!!!
Loved the update. REALLY wasn't expecting Darla at all. I'm sure Buffy won't be able to keep Spike away from her, at least not without a little help from Spike. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Thank you, both for the birthday wishes and the review.
I think you're the one person who's realized that Darla tends to get her way. But of course, how Spike decides to steer Buffy will make a big difference too.
Date: 12/17/2006 - 07:26 pm Title: Dea ex Machina
Well, at least Darla took care of that problem, though I'm sure he didn't experience as much pain as he should have. But I have to wonder how he managed to gain such status and position in The Center without anyone ever *really* challenging him. Anywhoo, can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: I think people challenged Daryl in the past, he was just ready for them. Darla got by a lot of his defenses by simply not appearing to be a threat. unlike most of the demons that live in The Center.

great update! happy birthday
Author's Response: Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it.
Date: 12/17/2006 - 06:06 pm Title: Dea ex Machina
wow, I definitely wasn't expecting darla to show up, let alone to 'rescue' Spike...
Great update and I can't wait for more!
PS: Happy Birthday!!! I hope you'll have a wonderful day!
Author's Response: Thanks, I had a great birthday.
And yeah, Darla doesn't often show up to rescue anyone.
Date: 12/17/2006 - 05:10 pm Title: Dea ex Machina
Wow.. All right Darla... back to claim family??
Ended one of Buffy's problem PDQ. Now about Spike.
Can't have Darla taking Spike away.
Happy Birthday.
Author's Response: Thanks.
And yeah, Buffy may have avoided one tough decision with Spike, but she's got another one coming up.
Date: 12/17/2006 - 05:01 pm Title: Dea ex Machina
Oh Good !!I hated Daryl,but will Darla be any better? Please update soon!
Author's Response: Well, in that Darla isn't out to rape anyone, yes she is better. But will this be good for Spike? I can't tell you yet ;)
