I don't even LIKE spuffy fiction much anymore but I would kill for an update of this fic.

Author's Response: Thanks very much. I'm glad you like the story so far. Your comment prompted the new chapter. I'll try to write more. :) Thanks for helping to banish the writer's block!

Well, you got rid of Parker and Dru is obviously into drugs too and both Buffy and Spike are not. I'm really enjoying this tale. Sorry to learn RL is sucky. Hope things calm down soon and you are able to update. Thanks for sharing, more please.

Author's Response: Wow, I didn't realize I had unanswered reviews. I really have been out of it. Thanks very much for commenting. I'm going to try to get back to this one soon.

Oooh now I know why I only read completed fics-just had to read this story tho. I love high school stories with William and Wuthering Heights is an ace book so I couldn't resist. Keep up the good work! xxx

Author's Response: Oh I'm so sorry for the wait! I'm going to try to write more soon. I should have more time shortly. Thank you for the encouragement!

Oh, I sense we're getting closer and Buffy's at least a little bit out of denial. I hope Parker gets what's coming to him; karma's a bitch after all. And I like that Buffy and Dawn get along (sometimes).

Author's Response: Yes we are! I'm glad you like the sisterly interaction. It's either very brave or very foolish of Buffy to confide in Dawn :) Thanks very much for commenting.

Great chapter! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thank you. I've been a bad, bad fanfic writer, but I'll try to get an update for this one soon. Thank you for reviewing. :)

Good update. I hope they are going to have another sparring session soon - hopefully without a Drusilla interuption.
Good luck with the job hunt hun.

Author's Response: Thank you, Mag. Winding down the old job all this last month, really. It's been a pain! Then I'm taking a WHOLE WEEK to just not think about it before I start scrambling to get a new one. Maybe the resumes I sent to friends will pay off. I'm going to try to write more on this one during my "break". Thanks for reviewing :)

Too bad that William didn't take a risk; he would have been surprised at Buffy's reaction. ~ I must say I'm glad that William doesn't want to be Dru's boyfriend. Besides that he is better off (way better!) without her. If he isn't very very careful she'll get him into drugs before he knows. Good for him he found his muse again and is able to write. Will give him some distraction too. ~ Yeah, Buffy is better suspicious when it comes to Parker. What I've seen on TV depending on what kind of drugs he used for Buffy you can't find them after several hours in your blood. Otherwise it would have been a good idea to go to the hospital and have it tested. ~ Spuffier chapters are even better ;-)
Take care!

Author's Response: Yes, if I recall from the quickie research I did, you're right about not finding it after a few hours. But she didn't drink it, so it wouldn't be there anyway. Good thing he put it in alcohol, which she hates because it's also tasteless. I wrote some Spuffy chapters, I'm just trying to figure out how to get to them now. Sorry for the long delay. Thank you for reviewing :)

So glad there's another chapter. Good thing that William got over his embarassment over the breakdown when he's thinking of Buffy..

Author's Response: Yes, they're easing back into being comfortable around each other and that's a good thing. Thanks for reviewing :)

I'm really enjoying this story. I got so excited today when I got to the site and saw that you had updated. Thank you for keeping up with it so well.

I also like how you've still kept William as sweet and disarmed (?) as ever, but he's not stupid. Just a wee bit naive.

You really are a lovely writer. :)

Author's Response: Oh God, the guilt!!!!! I haven't kept up at all, I know. I'm really sorry. The bad, stupidly busy work schedule is ending this week, so I'm hoping to get back into this story then. If I can shake the nasty writer's block too. I think I can. I did with the other story.

Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments and encouragement. I appreciate that you took the time to review.

Like these chapter. Spike remained true to his form despite his association with Dru. I really like Spike's character here. Very strong, dependable and loyal. The only thing i want to read in the coming chapters would be more interaction between Buffy and Spike. It's already chapter 16 and still Spike hasnt revealed his feelings to Buffy. He is a gentlemen alright but sometimes i wish he would be a little more assertive. Let the man show a little aggresiveness. He is a man after all isnt he? Cant believe a young healthy man like him doesnt have sexual feelings at all?

Author's Response: Well, he does. I just don't really write "trouser-watch" fic and by that I mean keeping a running commentary on the goings on of certain parts of the male anatomy. At least I haven't so far. :) Not that I'm knocking authors who do, because some of them do it exceptionally well, I'm just not one of them. But the reason he hasn't acted on his feelings yet is fear of rejection, not lack of attraction. He really doesn't believe she could be interested in him.

I did write more interaction that will be coming up, I just have to write what goes in between here and there now :( Thanks for reviewing.

Really good chapter with lots going on. Hope William keeps putting Dru off.

Author's Response: Thanks! Well, he's certainly not ending up with Dru! Not in my story he's not, so he'd better keep putting her off. :) Thanks so much for reviewing.

Author's Response: I'll try not to take as long as this last update did! Maybe I can bribe my husband into letting me have some uninterrupted writing time this weekend. Or I could say I need to brush up on some skills for my job hunt and need to be undisturbed... Just kidding. That would be so wrong! Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. :)

I'm glad William is strong enough to avoid Dru because he isn't interested. And to stay out of the dangerous parts of their life. Good to see him opening up on paper.

Buffy should plan some unofficial payback, if she can't report Parker - pick Dawn's evil brain for a plan. He can't be allowed to get away with date raping girls.

Author's Response: Yes, he's not going to take up with Dru just because she wants him. He has a better self image than that, I think. Though he's not been all that successful at rebuffing her yet, either.

Buffy's definitely worried about Parker. She just doesn't know what to do about it. Thanks for reviewing! :)

Shopping trip... have a bad feeling. Alwayse those misunderstandings between Buffy and Spike.

Waiting for their real feelings to be know to each other.

Enjoyed.

Author's Response: Soon! Soon! I promise. After all, Buffy told *Dawn*. That's practically like screaming it from the rooftops... Thanks for reviewing! :)

This was a tight chapter, and it moved the story along beautifully. William being aware of and a bit discomfited by Dru's attraction is in character and entertaining. Devon's back story may make Dru a more sympathetic character, but her aggressiveness believably doesn't appeal to the William you're writing.

How is Buffy going to react to Parker the next time she sees him? I'm looking forward to the confrontation.

I love the bleakness conveyed here: " He didn't know why, but the urge to write had entirely deserted him and unlike the periodic dry spells he'd had before, he felt no inclination to struggle through this one. He felt akin to the blank pages. There was nothing in him." Following it up with William finding inspiration shows he's finding hope in the bleakness of his mother's illness. Is that inspiration Buffy? I think so. Lovely stuff.

Author's Response: Oh good, I'm glad you think so. I had the worst time trying to write it and was worried it was still a bit clunky.

We'll have to wait and see how she reacts to Parker!

Thank you, I like that scene best in this chapter. Perhaps you're right about his sudden inspiration :) Thanks so much for reviewing!
