:( Poor, beaten Spike. I do hope that Buffy realizes what she can have before Dru gets her claws into him. And that there's a reason in the near future for Spike to wipe up the ground with Angel's ass.

Author's Response: Yes, poor William. I think Buffy's starting to realize a little, at least she's realizing that she cares about him more than she would just a tutor who is helping her out with her grades. Chapter 9 is up :) Thanks for reviewing.

Love it! Love it! Love it!

FIrst time back in awhile and I get this treat! I don't normally go for most all-human AUs unless they're written very, very well... like this! Yay!

I lie in wait for chapter nine.

Author's Response: Oh thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. The funny thing is that for the longest time I really didn't see the point in all human stories and never read them, but then I read several good ones and when I had an idea, go figure, it happened to be devoid of vampires and slayers. Thanks so much for the compliment and the review. Chapter 9 was just posted :)

The story is progressing very nicely that's why i am hoping that you could make your update longer next time, please.

I also hope that Dru will not be able to contaminate Spike with her evil ways. I want Spike to remain pure and dignified as he is now.

Author's Response: Wow, I'll try, but I think the next chapter is shorter, I haven't done a word count yet. This last chapter was the longest yet by about 1200 words. The chapters seem to come out short-ish and I end up posting them more frequently, rather than saving everything up and posting once a week.

Well, funny you should mention dignity, that comes into play next chapter.

Thank you for your kind comments and taking the time to review!

I Love your story please write more soon!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'll try to. There may be actual work to do at work today. Ick. We'll see.

So it is Dru that bleaches his hair and gives him the name of Spike.. at his disdain. And now with the classic eyebrow injury.

I know I used "Spike" in the last chapter review and then realized it hadn' t been introduced .. just William.

And yeah for Buffy.. taking care of him and getting home in one piece.

Enjoyed.

Author's Response: Yes, Dru's far more than just a motivating factor in this one. She's wielding the bleach.

I've been worried the whole story that I'd type Spike when I meant William :)

Yes, thank goodness the Desoto was an automatic. I had to look that up to see if it was possible. I was like, huh, how am I going to get Buffy to drive him if it's stick. That should be interesting. Dunno about the show Desoto, but at least they came with automatic....

Thanks for reviewing! Glad you're still enjoying it.

Boy, all kinds of shit has gone down in the last two chapters. And I need MORE! Interesting how you did the William to Spike switch-a-roo. Nice idea on Buffy's part; can't wait to see the awkwardness to follow.

Author's Response: Yes, it has! Haha, ok, more will be coming. ,br />
Well, I couldn't see this William going bleach blond on his own. So I wondered what would happen if you put a bored Dru and Faith, some leftovers from Oz's hair experiments and a thoroughly unconscious William in the same room. Apparently, Spike happens. Kinda :)

Oh and there will be awkwardness, of that you can be sure. Thanks for your review!

I love Dru! She is my favorite character in this story:) I also like the direction you are taking William.

:)

Author's Response: Haha! I'm not sure if that's good. Maybe that means William and Buffy aren't that interesting! I love Dru too. She's not boring, at least, although she may be dangerous to be around when she's bored :) Thanks for reviewing!

Im sorry for Spike's mother. Even more for Spike. he already lost a father he is about to lose a mother now. And to add to that his secret love wont even notice him! Poor guy!

Please make Spike happy in the next chapter. He deserves a break.

Author's Response: Oh dear. Well, I've given him so many reasons to be unhappy, I'm afraid he's not very happy in the next chapter or maybe even the one after that. This is kinda the angsty bit of the story for little while. I'd tell you when the fluff is coming if I knew in which chapter it will reappear, but I'm only about a chapter and a half ahead of posting as of now and uh, he's not happy. I'm sorry :( Thank you for commenting though!

Spike was out of line with his comment about Buffy. On the other hand he can wipe the floor with Angel anytime! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Well, keep in mind she'd been going out of her way to publicly ignore and avoid him at school except when he was helping her study. Like when she had him meet her at the door nobody uses. Though she was getting much less careful about that, the hugging and the whole confronting Angel thing and she's taken flack for that. Anyway, he thought that was what she was doing again at the Bronze and he was just a little sick of everything...not to mention kind of drunk.

Yeah, I can like Angel sometimes, but he's kind of a jerk in this story, so yay to floor wipeage! Thanks for reviewing! :)

Oh, Spike... Dru has you in her clutches. And now
Buffy is torn. William was a little cruel to Buffy in his drunken state. ." stuck up bitch" I found ooc, but maybe the booze talking.

Enjoying.

Author's Response: Yes, he was. It was the alcohol and also he's understandably upset about his mother. Another perceived rejection from Buffy was just the last straw. He's human, after all. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Author's Response: I'm sure it wasn't the word choice that you were probably referring to when you said it seemed ooc, but the more I tried to picture William saying it, the more I couldn't. I just changed the word, the sentiment's pretty much the same. But thanks for making me think about it.

Good story. More, please, soon?

Author's Response: Thanks! More about to be posted. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Get him William!! Get him!!! I can't wait for the next update.

Author's Response: lol. Everyone's out for bloodshed. I'll try to write today if there are lulls at work. Maybe have the next chapter tonight.
