Much as Spike's pain at what he saw in Buffy's mind saddens me I could hardly stifle a 'WOO HOO, BABYYYYYY!!!!' at Buffy punching the ponce in the nose! You go girl!!!!

I can't wait to see what comes next, you know my feelings for this story, but a shrink once told me I'm not honest about my feelings, never letting people know that I love them and I guess that could go for stories too... so: I LOVE OMNI!!! and I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE you, babe!

*hugs you tight*

PS. The shring then hit on the guy I'd been telling her I was in love with, so I'm not sure how much of her advice was good, but I think that part was ;-)

Author's Response: Yeah, I had to counteract all that mushiness that I had going on with Buffy and Angel with a good punch. Awwww you love Omni... good, he won't get jealous then when I tell him you've been moonlighting with HB...tsk tsk. Thanks hun :X

I started reading this and then stopped - do not ask me why because I do not have the foggiest idea. This is so good and now I've caught up I am desperate for an update - PLEASE. What is up with Giles? Have he and Spike swapped personas because previously you do mention Giles having amber eyes and watching Passions? Really really fab story and I am so looking forward to more. Loved it.

Author's Response: *Squeals with joy!* Welcome back Sam! Thanks for starting up again, as I had dispaired of losing a few readers on this fic. Giles is becoming more his true self - Ripper. And over the course of this fic, personalities will seem to change from one to another. The flash of amber for Giles was Ripper trying to fully get out, but some part of Giles was keeping some control... but not for long. Thanks again for finding this fic again!

It seems that Giles has finally blown a gasket! Lovely to see Buffy being gentle with Spike.

Author's Response: Oh Lou... are you the Lou from Elysian Fields????? If you are, COOL! You made it here! If not... COOOOOL thanks for the review! LOL. Yup Giles has definitely bought the farm. Thanks for the review!

Awww those two are just so cute!

Hehehe Giles is shackled in the bath tub... what a turn around huh?

Can't wait for the next chapter! xxx

Author's Response: LOL, well didn't want to get too mushy, you know I hate that. And yes indeed...vampiric karma is a right bitch! Next chappy will be out soon as I update HB! Thanks luv for the review!

Yikes! Giles is getting scary, can't wait to learn more about what's going on with him. Loved the snuggly Spuffy scene, and the telepathic conversation that followed. Wonderful chapter! :D

Author's Response: Yup, Giles is reverting back to Ripper (ie - no patience, bad manners/temper and all around nastiness). I love snuggly Spuffy, I tried not too make it TOO mushy, you know I hate that crap. LOL Thanks Mary!

oooo I hate Riley and Forrest agreeing to his plan, but hey, they did knowck out a couple of the gouls - which makes me wonder - if any of them are missing, does it stop them from completing their mission of gathering hearts? And this line tickled my funny bone for I don't know what reason, but I literally lmao, 'Elizabeth Ann Summers! Woman answer me now!’


OH, had to ask, was William's middle name really Xavier in btvs, or did you just make that up?


I'm not one for the mushy stuff, but that moment Spike and Buffy shared after he was sure she was ok was so tender and heart felt, I couldn't help but "awwwwwwwww".

Author's Response: Still thinking about that one...kinda spur of the moment thing! I laughed myself at the full name calling... Like a parent scolding a child. And I have NO idea of William's middle name... I just like Xavier...sounded distinguished and it flowed. Yeah, you know I don't do the mushy stuff... GAG. LOL Thanks hun for the review!

I am looking forward to the next installation, will check every day. Love the story!

Author's Response: Thanks Sharon, glad you like this story...it's my older child...loved but also potty-trained! Gotta love that. Thanks again for the review!

So great to see an update and I am loving this story more and more with every chapter! I love their little internal dialogue but I'm getting nervous about the commandos and what they want to do... can't wait for more (but as always, patiently am)!

Author's Response: The commandos are ALWAYS up to nothing good! And I'm glad you're still sticking with me on this story, Muse! Thanks ever so much for the review!

My parents are gone for the weekend sis is having a sexathon and is really vocal of her appreciation of the guy so (totally unable to sleep in the room next to hers) I dragged my ass to the living-room, hoping to get some shut eye! Now I feel like making them both coffee in the morning cuz it was their (really loud) noises that drove me to the open arms of my own lover: Omniscient!!! (LMAO)

An insistent tapping finally registered in Riley Finn’s overly large, but seldom used brain. took me several minutes to stop laughing long enough to read the next phrase! *starts giggling again*

LOVED the update, and I'm squeeing like a banshee (yeah, well, I'm entitled to some decibels of my own in this bloody house!!!) that the Initiative didn't catch them (though knowing your evilness my bliss will be short-lived). I adore how Buffy and Spike drift closer together and I liked Xander's thoughts on Spike... though that part about happening to him too has me spooked a little!

Hope you're snowed out (yeah, I know, couldn't think of another way to say it! *giggles*)soon, unless you're having a blast with hubby and don't really mind the current sits, in which case stay snowed in for as long as you want!

Love you lots!

Author's Response: Ewww! TMI with the sex-a-thon! But I'm glad Omni is giving it to ya good baby! heheheheh And your bliss will not be short lived... at least not yet. bwhahahahaha!

Ohhh I just loved this Chapter... had me silently chuckling all the way through it!

So anyway, can't wait for the next update, and what do you mean by "the initiative that watched the group with interest boardering on insanity."?

I don't like the sound of that! poor scoobies and Giles and Buffy, and most definately poor Spike, I have a very bad feeling about all this!

Thanks for the update, sorry it took so long for me to read the other chapter.

Krispy kreme's of all varieties!

xx



Author's Response: Good, glad you liked it! I'll update soon... I think. And you know exactly what I mean by that statement! Mmmm warm, fresh from the oven Krispy Kremes....mmmmmmmm. I think you're trying to bribe me!

Well I think the same as Spike: with no voices it's hard for the others to complain ;-)
Awe, Buffy and Spike were so cute with each other. If the others would open their eyes to see (like Anya did) they would have noticed. And Anya was fun :)
Oh Xander... bad luck. I was suspicious whom he was talking too. So he has met Professor Walsh now.
The presentation was fun :) Too bad the Initiative has the same information now.

Author's Response: I guess they could complain with the erase boards, but I liked the snark better. Yeah, poor Anya always looked left out....throughout the whole series. I loved doing the presentation, it was so much fun! Thanks Cordy, you're a doll!

Loved the Xavier draws that Spike did. Love the Spuffy in this story. Can't wait for an update.

Author's Response: Heheh, I couldn't resist Spike poking fun at Xander! I'll update soon, I promise! Thanks Marcy for the review!

LMAO - that 'jacking-off' scene with Buffy gets me every time, whether on the show or in writing. And of course (all of) Spike's silent comments to her was priceless. And guess what - I LOVE LOVE LOVE your choice of background music. I play classical piano and I learned Toccata and Fugue at age 11 , and even on the organ. My dad had a 3 manual organ (vs the 4 featured in the vid) complete with Leslie speakers and pipes - boy was it fun to play that piece on the organ, hee hee. Oooo, I really hate the Initiative right now. Erghhh, Riley and Maggie need a good bitch slapping, lol. And I am SOOOO on-board your mind fuck of a wagon - it's brill, darling. Bravo and did I read in the other review you'll be updating HB? WOO HOO!!!!! Smooches to you my sista, mi hermana.

Author's Response: I KNOW! I went back and watched the video of that scene before I sat down to write this and I cracked up! But I thought, "Wouldn't Spike make a better presenter?" And Boom! There it was. And I loved Spike playing off of Xander, I mean, it's what he'd do, right? And SO COOL you played the piano and organ! That piece just sends chills up my spine! So you're on board with me... wanna drive??? hehehehe Huggers and Vicarious Smoochies to you too!
