awwww....... tara n willow will be in UK,.... gonna miss them... love the update and waiting for more!!

Author's Response: I promise that they won't be absent from the story, even though they're overseas. Thanks for reviewing!

Buffy seemed almost congenitally incapable of keeping a grudge, much less understanding someone else’s, and so she had run roughshod over Spike’s desire to avoid the mansion, regardless of the potential treasure hidden there. Without realizing it, she was doing the same to her watcher.

One of my big bugbears with the character... her ability to be as flawed as any other human being. That whole paragraph is great observation though, Weyr. Done from Spike's pov though, it did make me wonder if the vampire was ever that deep thinking. It's something that I, as a rabid Spike fan have always aspired him to be, but I'm not sure how close to Joss Whedon's canon that would ever be (not close at all, I'm pretty sure).

All in all, with the Spike-centric narrative focussed on his reactions to Scooby interactions, a very nice, easy on the heart-rate chapter. Loved the dual functionality of Gile's car :- penis-extension and, ...mobile debriefing room ...



Author's Response: Touche. I probably do give Spike more intellectual credit than he is due. Sorry. I'll also endeavor to be a little harder on the heart-rate as the story goes along. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Spike's musings in the back seat of Giles' mid-life crisis mobile were extremely well written. I especially liked the parallels he drew between himself and Giles. The airport goodbye was also well written, and Spike offering up strands of hair highlighted his trust and friendship with Tara. Another tight chapter filled with lots of detail and excellent characterizations. I missed the oblique "Firefly" reference, though.

Author's Response: I'm afraid that my favorite scene from that 'verse had River sniffing Inara's bed and getting this funny expresion on her face. Oblique, I know, but when I was writing that scene, I had to include it. I'm glad you liked the Spike/Giles comparisons. Thanks for reviewing!

I'm so glad your muse saw fit to grace you with a continuation of this tale, I absolutely love your writing.


Author's Response: She's sometimes fickle, but after how much I enjoyed writing the first fic, she was a little more willing this time around. ;-) Thank you!
