I am so glad that you updated this story. I love your take on the "Buffy gets turned and Spike takes care of her" bit. Can't wait to see what happens next and where you take it. ; ) More please.

I've just found this story and have spent a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon devouring it.

Whilst not generally a fan of Vamp-Buffy tales, this is so well-written I find myself ensnared.

The earlier chapters viewed from Spike's POV had me agreeing with every word; the characterisation is perfect.

I feel awful that Spike's actions have reslted in this, he will be reviled yet more; however I am fascinated to see where you take this.

Very well written. I'm off to find more of your stories now!

Author's Response: I have to say thank you for your wonderful review. I have noticed that buffy as a vamp stories tend not to be that well favoured and am glad that you like this one. You don't know how happy this has made me. Hope you like the upcoming chapters

So Buffy's still Buffy, but a vampire...and she gained memory of her sire....often transferred from sire to childe. Oh, Dru left for a reason....she wants you close to Spike, Buffy.

Please tell me you intend to continue this story. I would love to see how Buffy would deal with her new vampirism and how she would let Spike be a sire to her.

Author's Response: I will be as soon as my HSC is over. I will post a new chapter next saturday for TtG. Thankyou for reviewing. I wasn't sure that this FF held any interest to anyone but me.

I think that this is an excellent example of why I love Dru so much. More often than not she is good-intentioned in her evilness. And I am very much looking forward to Buffy waking up. I can't wait to see how she will react to her new situation and seeing how broken Spike is both physically and mentally. More please. ; )

As if a plan of Dru's will ever be successful.

Great story of the last turned Slayer. Imaginative.

Poor Spike in his underestimation. Poor Buffy in her stubborness and superiority.

Oh, dear...and now, Buffy's a vampire, if Spike doesn't kill her before she rises.
*sigh* Dru and her meddling...And Stupid Buffy for not just having a dialogue with Spike. The words would have cost her nothing, if she had just been decent, friendly. Joyce would be so disappointed.

And there's still the problem of Dawn in danger from Glory....

Great story! I love reading from Spike's head. Also didn't mind the Dru closeness, since you're starting off from canon. Poor Spike....he's trying to reach so high, and nobody gives him an ounce of credit. It was amazing, really, that with all the constant ridicule by the Scoobies, that he never just took the lot of them out, once and for all...and the chip isn't in the way for succeeding in that when all he has to do is hire some demons or throw a homemade bomb in a room.

What he's really asking of Buffy is just acceptance of herself, and him. Talk like respectful equals. Buffy could have made a lot of their encounters easier on herself if she had just listened without being cruel and snide. She never grew past that popular bitch of 14 that she was before becoming the Slayer. One of the reasons I'd take Cordy over Buffy any day.

Author's Response: I totally agree concerning Spike. He may be rash but he did have numerous resources with which to annhilate the Scoobies. I still believe though that Buffy can develop to be more accepting, its just that in my fic she is forced to acknowledge Spike far sooner than in the show.

This is interesting. I really like it so far. Unfortunately I have to be off to work now so I cannot read the next four chapters. I really like your writing. You have a wonderful way of describing what is happening. Usually it is diffuclt for me to submerse myself in a scene, but you've made it effortless for me. I can't wait until 6:30 rolls round so I can read the other chapters.

Love the pen name (OOMM is one of my favourite episodes and Spike's "Silly bint" comment a fav moment from it) and your fic is really interesting thus far. You have a writing style that is enjoyable to read, and goodness knows writing an established character's thoughts in an authentic-sounding voice can be hard to do. I think you've captured Spike and his inner-William really well however so kudos for that! Looking forward to where you might take this from here on out.

..... something purely demon sliding across her features ......"
And hey presto, there's Buffy. Split personality - or really dual personality, for the Slayer side stays well-hidden from her friends, family and day living. But by night ...... it was the girl who first reacted to Spike's overtures, but then the Slayer came to the fore...... game over. Ironically, though, it is this, almost insurmountable mountain of anti-Spike that spurs him on, because he recognises the darkness in her and although he doesn't want to exploit it, along with her beauty and wit, it calls to him, she's become deep-seated in his psyche. He just knows they would be good together. Fire and Ice. Heat and Desire. Can you already here the sizzle?

Your narrative is absolutely great, from Spike's POV - you've caught his wit, his insight, his confusion and his raison d'etre. Buffy. And that bit at the last - about Ben's perfume: inspired!

Yep, humans can be just as bad with their 'bloody souls'. I look forward to more :)

Great first chapter! The internal dialogue and musings of Spike in one of my favorite episodes is fun to read. it's what I imagine him to have been thinking :)
