Aww, poor whipped Spike. Hehehe, he's just so cute when he's whipped. Good chapter, can't wait to see what's inside the jar! Whee! =D

Hee! Yes, he certainly is. This chapter was excellent as always, you had me laughing with the interaction between Giles and Spike and now I'm a bit nervous over what repercussions it might bring that Giles touched the jar with his bare hand. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I'm not telling! At least not for a little while. I'm glad you liked the interactions though. Thanks!

Ooh, very interesting choices indeed. I love the pacing in this story. I love how things seem to be progressing between Buffy and Spike and the rest of the Scoobies and Giles. Very nice. Can't wait to find out what their choices in weapons will be. :D

Author's Response: I stuck Spike through enough craziness in the last story that I felt that he earned a few chapters' reprieve as far as his interactions with Buffy and the Scoobies go. ;-) I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing!

Such nice interactions amongst them all... I like how Giles is subtly warming to Spike thanks to Meret, and how fighting Spike is helping Buffy get her groove back.

The week after, he started offering Spike advice during the fight, which was so unexpected that the vampire dropped his guard to gawk at the watcher, which earned him a foot in the gut for his troubles.

Hee!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. One way or the other, I always thought Buffy reacted strongly to fighting, so using it as slayer-therapy made sense to me. thanks for reviewing!

Wednesdays? Ah! Sparring sessions on Wednesday :) And Spike nose will live ;-) Even Giles can learn: he cleared the floor before the fight. Interesting choice of classes Buffy had. :) Loved the chapter, the guessing about the weapons was silly but fun. *gg*

Author's Response: Because as long as Spike's nose lives, everything else will be okay. ;-) Thanks for the review!

I laughed at Spike's "And the slayer has kindly taken to layin' off my nose." I thoroughly enjoyed this light and entertaining chapter. The exuberance of the sparring match set the tone, and you kept it up throughout the chapter. Buffy's positive attitude and light spirits were a joy to read. Again, the small details really flesh this story out.

Author's Response: I figured I owed the characters a few happy chapters after the last story and before I start messing with them again. Thanks for leaving a review!

I've decided to have a Meret tee-shirt. I've found lots of coatl images on Google, but I want it to be as authentic as possible, Wyvie. So, do you already have an image that you used as inspiration for Meret, and what coulour(s) is she?

*Chrissie interrupts her self-centred tee-shirt making discussion to offer up a wee bit o' feedback on the fanfiction Wyvern's worked so bloomi' hard to create!*

I think you're really capturing Spike's character here, and his interactions with Anya and Giles are spot on. Spike's a lot more sparky in this chapter, not so thoughtful and much more spontaneous.

Buffy's a lot harder to button down so far. She's being too nice. So nice, I'm waiting for the hormones to wash over her. Hopefully Wyvie Buffy is subtly different from canonBuffy, intentionally. I say 'hopefully' because canonBuffy did kind of grate on my nerves at times and this Buffy's far more 'human'.

Went all warm and fuzzy when you described Meret as, ...the most untraditional and unobtrusive babysitter the teenager had ever had .... Made me realise, she's growed up somewhat since ILWS, hasn't she? Now I'm going to be seeing her in a more phoenix-like vision... something of beauty and intelligence to rival Buffy *veg*... Wonder if that's why Buffy's gor a book on Mesoamerican Mythology in her bag?

Delighted that ILWS, and you, has received the fandom recognition it deserves! Congratulations, pet. And the great work continues right here!

Author's Response: Um, take a blood corn snake, the darker the better, and give it a northern cardinel's wings and a crest of feathers down it's spine. Red eyes, black tongue. I guess the closest thing I could find online to my mental image would be this: http://www.wildlife-fantasy.com/artwork/quetz.php Now you have to promise to show me the design! As for the rest, would I throw a monkey wrench into the works as far as a hormonal Buffy and a conspiring coatl goes? ;-) That would be mean... I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing!

I just love your stories! And I'm SO incredibly happy that you're doing this sequel!! *Hugs* Thank you! Really really good so far, but I didn't doubt that it would be. I'd almost forgotten how much I love Meret! They should have had a Meret on the show, that would have rocked. Again, really good couple of chapter, looking forward to more! I'm on the edge of my seat here! ;)

Author's Response: I'm glad you're liking the fic. I'm of course biased towards my little coatl, but I'm very flattered that there seems to be quite a bit of Meret-affection going around. Thanks!

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!

Loved the update. Midlife crisis? Cute. Like the Spike Tara relationship. Of course Meret, enjoying the car ride, what can I say? Just love her to pieces.

Author's Response: In a vampire, what would that kind of behavior be called? A midcentury crisis? Proof of unlife behavior? ;-) 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!

An excellent start to more of the Meret-verse. I like how you touched briefly on the changes Meret has brought to the dynamic of the gang. Having access to Spike's emotions has solidified their uneasy alliance. Buffy joining in on the looting is an excellent plot device to bring Spike and Buffy together.

The details of their discovery were creepy and fascinating. I'm looking forward to more of this.
