Oh dear, Spike on a rampage, The guards wont know what hit them.

Author's Response: Best way I can think of to blow off some steam. Thanks for reviewing!

Enjoyed the update.



Author's Response: Thank you!

Buffy's flirtatious behavior was amusing, but Spike's anger was understandable. The idea of everyone having access to his emotions and memories is appalling. I like that he feels remorse, but Meret shouldn't be over sharing. That little Buffy fantasy was embarrassing. Another entertaining chapter, I'm looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I'm trying to make Meret's connection both a blessing and a curse, so I'm glad you're liking it. thanks for the review!

Oh my, baaaaaaaaaaaaad Buffy, distracting Spike *gg* And Meret is playing this game too *grins*. But Buffy was included. Wow.. and Spike exploded. He was driven to far, huh? Loved it :) And he was able to let some steam off and yet earned some money for Dawn ;-)

Author's Response: Yup, I am slowly but surely driving the poor vamp mad. By the end of the story he'll be gibbering worse than Drusilla. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

great story. i loved in league with serpents and i love this. i adore Meret. update soon.

Author's Response: Thank you! I will, as long as I can convince the muse to cooperate.

Sineya accepting Spike's entree into Slayer dreams is an interesting twist. Buffy's dream was vivid, and I enjoyed Spike's mental admonition at her lack of real detail. Why is Meret so amused at all the goings on, what does she know about what's to come? I'm looking forward to learning her role in this mythology. This was another entertaining, well paced chapter.

Author's Response: I'm really glad you liked the pacing. I was worried I was covering the same ground too much with Spike's report on the dream. Thanks!

Why do I get this nagging feeling that leaving the feathers to Giles was the last thing they should have done? Oh, well, I suppose I'll find out eventually. In the meantime, I loved this chapter, I loved reading that the Scoobies are so accepting of Spike now and the explanation of who the twins were. You're doing a fantastic job with this story and I can't wait for more!
P.S. Hope your writer's block passes soon. ;)

Author's Response: I hope it does too. Bleh. As for this chapter, perhaps that foreshadowing was a little blatent, huh? ;-) I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing!

I wanted to read in your LJ when I wouldn't have found it here :) ~ To the feather wasn't one of Meret's... that is strange indeed. Mmmm why did Meret send an image of Buffy's inner Slayer ('the first slayer' image) instead of the 'normal' Buffy image. Oh...they shared the dream. So Buffy was talking about the same dream Spike had when he came to see Buffy. Ah, so it is important that Spike was invited to the dream if you think of the first meeting of the Scoobies and the First Slayer. ~ It's good indeed the Spike has a better memory for the details of the dream. Giles could use the hints Spike gave. Mmm both Buffy and Spike had a reluctance to let the feather go? Then they are more important than I first thought. I had to grin when I read that Meret is a bat now he.. hunting thieves in the Bronze :) Loved it.

Author's Response: Thanks! You would think that Buffy would have started reporting more details from her dreams as the show progressed. Oh well.

Weird dream..first filled with weapons and then waves. But Joyce was there. And then, in his crypt, Spike got approved by the first slayer. The women with Buffy, the dusting skeleton? The skeleton they found? The glasses reminded me of Giles (a watcher). And I loved: They're cookies. I should know. I'll be one soon. I don't know who the old man is... Sineya = Meret? I'm guessing very hard ;-) Though it was interesting. Looking forward to the next part, maybe Spike will be able to tell then what is all was about.

Author's Response: Sineya is the first slayer. Her name was mentioned in one of Willow's spells in Primeval and in the Tales of the Slayers. I'll be explaining the rest of your guesses as the story goes along. Thanks for reviewing!

woah darn interesting!!! wondering what all that dream was about wonder what all the talk bout being Chosen was all about.... love the update and waiting for more!

Author's Response: If I explained it all right away, it would ruin all of my perverse fun. ;-) Thanks for reviewing! I'll be updating soon.

*grins* Oh yeah, better run Spike or Giles will tie you down to the books that needs to be translated. And Anya wasn't less threatening ;-). Awe, Spike snarling at Dawn's football player. He showed that he wouldn't kill any bloke (without reason). Spike scowled, realizing once again that he had a knack for surrounding himself with pushy women. Awe I love Meret :) She nipped Spike when he stopped scratching her? And Meret and Dawn teasing Spike about Buffy. Schmoopy stuff? I wonder if Spike will go for it. (And btw: The middle book of my CJ C. Trilogy came today :) )

Author's Response: Yeah, I was having fun being silly in this chapter. I'm glad you liked it. (And yay! Chanur!) Thanks for reviewing!

Hee! Poor Spikey. ;) Fantastic chapter! I just love the interaction between Spike, Dawn and Meret and can't wait to see what's going to be coming after that conversation. I also liked the part where Buffy didn't repproach (sp?) Spike because he scared the boy. I'm truly enjoying this story so much. :D
Good luck with your exams.
Mari

Author's Response: Whew, thanks about the exams. They are thankfully done now. I think I might take a little too much pleasure in messing with out favorite vampire. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

The jar retrieval was vividly described, and using Spike as Giles' mode of transportation made an entertaining image. Spike leaving Giles that note and a bottle of Scotch to find on his return home was inspired.

Giles' "I believe I will send another anonymous letter to the police department" made me laugh out loud even as I was imagining a bulging folder full of his tips at Police Heaquarters. This was another tight chapter.

Author's Response: Giles has to have done something like that. The Scoobies ran across too many bodies and weird stuff to not have called the local (if cruddy) constabulary at least a few times. I bet that's the weirdest police file EVER. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!
