This is really an amazing story. I loved your oc's. The kids were cute.

Author's Response: Thank you. I seem to end up putting way more OCs in future fics than I ever do in within-canon ones. :)

On the Vampire lair/threshold note: Yes, I see your point on that here. I've struggled with that in my own series because I have them living in the mansion, which was Spike's first and Buffy moved in there, so I've always left it as a 'lair' (thus Angel can come and go at will, much to Spike's displeasure). Thanks for your POV on that - definitely makes sense, if the house is in Buffy's name, then it should be ok ... except if they're married and that means it's half Spike's if they're married in CA! LOL! Thanks for the note back on that! It's fascinating to see how other writers handle different little issues like that.

Author's Response: LOL well, not so sure about CA, but I'd still think that having one human as a co-owner means any vamps that don't have an invitation can't get in. After all, a person who is killed and turned, has to be invited into what used to be his/her own house by one of the humans still living in it. Right? It is interesting to see how other writers handled it. I think I'm pretty consistent with how I do it across my works, but maybe not. Some things I do vary depending on the story and its needs.

Bravo!

"Your dad isn’t your average vampire,” Buffy said. "He never was and he never will be."

No kidding!

Lovely story start to finish. Very much enjoyed it. I think there was a sequel to it I saw ... will have to check that out too. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. I'm quite proud of this fic, even though it is flawed in its premise pretty badly. :) I don't think I've done a sequel though. Not that comes to mind right away.

Oh yes, some serious Angelus (and Dru) ass-kicking! Will did really well - a chip off the old block! I would not want to see the bloodied pulp of Angelus that was left for Buffy to stake after a royally brassed off Spike got done with him.

Author's Response: The kids are pretty brave and feisty - but then, how could they not be?

Oh dear, it was just getting all nice and kinda cozy and then - BAM! of course, knew it was coming. Time to kick some Angelus ass! Love the interaction you've had between them (Buffy and Spike).

On a separate note, one thing I've wondered in stories where they're married but Spike is still a vamp: Is there a threshold on a Vampire Lair? I'm thinking not, so if the house is Spike's (as well as Buffy's) would that be a vampire lair or a house with a threshold to keep the baddies out? Since Spike hadn't been living there before, then I get that it would be fine with the threshold, but now that he is living at the Pratt's house again ...?? I'm sure there's no real answer to that, it's just something that I wonder about. I know, I'm weird. :)

Author's Response: Actually, i've written several fics where Spike (the Vampire) owns or rents a home. He usually ends up putting it in Buffy's name to protect it. In this story, the William Pratt who bought the house with Buffy is dead. I don't think vamp-Spike is considered the owner anymore . It's a good thought, though. I'm going with Buffy's the sole owner and has been for the past six years, so they're good. It's not any more dangerous for them than it was when Spike was living in her basement in season 7. The home belongs to the living human who owns it. Once all the owners are dead, the vamps can come and go at will. It was a good thought, though. One that has to be kept in mind when writing any fics where they are living together in something Spike owns. :)

I meant to say before that I'm very much loving Xander through this whole story. He's the perfect comic relief and level head. I always liked young-Xander and this Xander is much like that.

Author's Response: Glad you like him. :)

Started off with happy reunions ...Loved Faith's: “Oh, the Big Bad is back,” she purred, smirking at a glaring Buffy. “We’ll pop that champagne yet.” Then ended with more lovely tears. Everyone hurting sooo much and too proud to just let it go. Lovely chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm so glad you're enjoying it. :)

"But he’s the offspring of two stupid people, so you never know..." ROFL!! Oh yes he is! I *love* that Xander's been keeping in touch with Spike. I really thought those two could've been friends, we saw splashes of it, but then they just made Xander a big dope and ruined it.

Author's Response: I've always thought they could be friends. I tend to write them that way more often than not. :)

Oh, Buffy - why did you send him away? Of course, the kids need their father - they've needed him for six years. And what is Spike up to ... because, of course, it's him. I do feel badly for Buffy, but she brought it on herself, as she often does. Silly girl.

Author's Response: She did. She's entirely to blame for the situation - and she knows it. Been living with it for years.

Beautiful :)
But I don't get her... What she did was terribly wrong. I get Spike forgiving her, better to forgive and enjoy the rest of the time together than to be apart, suffering.. Once more he proved himself better than her.
The kids were great too! Perfect mix of their parents ;) And now they will get to know their father as he truly is, without secrets :D

Author's Response: Thanks for reading. I'm glad you liked it. Yep, Spike is definitely the giver in the this one. :)

“I missed you. Do – did you miss me?”

“Every bloody day,” he replied, without turning around. “Good-night, Buffy.”

How devastating. So much lost time. They always end up coming round, but the time it will take to heal those wounds.

Author's Response: It will. But at least they're talking to each other.
