Well, a possible step forward for Spuffy, and step noticeably backwards for Fred and Wes. Oh, dear, clueless Wes....Buck up, man!! You're going to lose her for good if you don't give a little!

Author's Response: *lol* Very true and Fred is going to give Wes a good taste of his own medicine, me thinks. ;) Thanks for reviewing, sweetie!

Been waiting for this update..

At least she said yes.. in that weak moment of passion. But as usual for Buffy... up and runnning..

Enjoyed..

Author's Response: Oh yes, but she wouldn't be our Buffy if she didn't. ;) thank you for reviewing, sweetie!

I don't mind at all ;) Loved it! He'll win her heart sooner or later and I have this feeling that the memory of Angel will fade away or when she'll meet him, she'll feel nothing for him...

Author's Response: Oh yes, he sure will win her heart eventually. It wouldn't be Spuffy otherwise, now will it? *g* Thanks for reviewing, darling!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE, loved the chapter hun (in case my squee'ing didn't make that obvious, lol)

I worry about Cecily, of course, as well as for what Angel being in the picture will mean for Spuffy... *sighs* But I trust you!!!

Can't wait for more, I hope RL settles,

*huggles* This entire story is so perfect I can't get enough of it!!!

Author's Response: Squeeee! And I love that you loved the chapter, cariño! You're too adorable (and yes, you are, to infinity. so there. and yes, i'm three, too, but I still win.) lol

Thank you for trusting me, I promise you all will be resolved eventually and I won't drag things endlessly either.

I hope to have more soon, it seems RL is finally settling or so I hope. ;) Thank you so much for your very lovely words! You always make my day brighter!

I reviewed earlier today. Really! :(

Okay, mmmm, I loved Wes cutting Cecily off at the knees, then Spike coming in and proving himself to Buffy once again. Take *that* Angel who isn't even here. Buffy is such a silly girl in her head....I hope she won't hurt William after that ending question. But I imagine they might get interrupted so she can't answer, either. ;)

Yay for Will and Fred's plans going perfectly so far...

Author's Response: Oh I agree with you wholeheartedly, you wouldn't know how much, especially about Buffy. She's quite silly, but I don't think she'd hurt William after that. ;)

Yes, so far plans are going very well. Thank you so much for reviewing!

Yeah buffy give the guy a chance already, jeez , if I have to read anymore about her true love Angel ( who's probably off boinking god knows who) I will puke! She's a ninny,( I really like her in this fic though) who will have to find out the hard way who she really loves.
Loving this fic more each chapter and especially Spike, I like Wes and Fred also and look forward to reading about their blossoming relationship ,and by the way ,Spike putting Cecily in her place was fabulous , can't wait to see what the delusions ho is going to do.

Author's Response: LOL, you're so very right about Buffy, although well, i have to admit it's fun to write her being this stubborn. ;)

I'm glad you're enjoying reading Wes and Fred and of course Spike. And that you enjoyed the way Spike put Cecily in her place. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

Wow, that was really hard work to convince Wesley. :)
And sweet, Spike has his own play right in front of his eyes when watching Buffy enjoying the play.
Loved William defend Buffy; but Cecily can't hear. I don't think she'll like the price she has to pay going against Buffy.
If you want to hear it: Yes, you're evil, stopping here :) And I don't mind a long story.
Looking forward to hear Buffy's answer.

Author's Response: *lol* Yes, it was. He's to prideful for his own good really.
Hee, yes, Spike is smitten and looking at her is a lot more interesting than enjoying a play. ;)
Cecily is just a dumb girl, who as you say won't like the price she'll pay for going against Buffy. ;)
*giggles* Thank you, sweetie! Even if you called me evil. ;)

Oh who could resist him? Even if Buffy won't admit it to herself William is winning her over. Interesting twist that Cecily wants William. Loved it and please make this as long as you like - I'll be reading.

Author's Response: Well, Buffy will try to resist him, don't think she's having too much luck with that, though. ;) And while yes, I agree on him winning her over already, she's too stubborn for her own good. ;) Glad you found that twist interesting. And thank you for reviewing and for saying that you'll read this story no matter its length, it means a lot to me. *hugs+

This was an absolutely fabulous chapter. Of course she would not be able to resist the Duke. Please update soon.

Author's Response: *lol* Yes, she shouldn't be able to resist him, but she'll still try. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing, sweetie! I'll try to update as soon as I can.

Ah, romance... and a man with a mission to win Buffy's heart... Love the stolen kiss that turned into something more..Cecily is not a nice person.. tables are turned it seems.

And waiting to hear more about Buffy's real father..

Waiting for her answer.. Enjoying..

Author's Response: Her answer will come soon, I hope. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing, sweetie! I'm glad you loved the stolen kiss and yes, Cecily is not a nice person... at all. ;)

I'm enjoying Buffy's slow thaw toward Spike. His idea of taking it slow is still pretty fast, but it's also charming. How can his open admiration not wear her down? The confrontation with Cecily was entertaining, and I loved Wesley and Spike putting her in her place. She's a nasty one, and I bet Hank will find a willing ear for his sordid tale.

I'm worried that Angel is still hovering in Buffy's affections, though at least she's admitted she's more herself with Spike. How would Angel react if Buffy were as outspoken and opinionated as sh has been with Spike? I bet he'd run for the hills.



Author's Response: Awww, thank you, sweetie! I just love knowing every little bit that you enjoy. And I agree, Spike is quite charming and if it were me I'd be melting already. She's too stubborn though. Hee, the confrontation was fun to write and I hadn't thought of her and Hank confabulating, but you might be onto something there.

I think Buffy has idealized her love for Angel, but eventually she'll realize what true love really is. ;)

The Covent Garden scene was great, I loved all the detail you put into describing it. And not only is Cicely mean but she's also not very smart. William made himself perfectly clear and she heard absolutely none of it, going up against William... totally dumb, but bound to be very entertaining. As for the kissage... loved it! Wonderful chapter! :D

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed that scene. I just adore describing places like that and try to make them come to life. Oh yes, Cecily is not a smart girl, but that we already knew. ;) She'll get her comeuppance, though. *giggles* I'm ecstatic you loved the kissage. :D Thank you so much for reviewing, sweetie!

Cecily is a nasty minx and I already hate her.
love Fred's convienent headache:) who planned that bit I wonder. looking forward to the next chapter and loved this one.

Author's Response: Oh yes, that she is. I'm not liking her myself, but I guess that's going to make what I have planned for her even more satisfying. ;)
LOL, you'll find out more about that convenient headache and who planned it on the next chapter, I promise.

Thank you so much for your review and all your help, sweetie! *hugs*

Oh honey - this chapter was chock full of goodness all the way around. First, Wes and his thoughts on finally being worthy to woo Fred b/c of Spike's offer.... sighs. I've always thought they were so cute together. And oh is it ever fun to hate that Cecily, erghh, arghh, lol. And the way Spike pouted in the baclony at Buffy, oh yeah, she's doomed, no one can resist THAT pout. And the steamy goodness of that kiss at the end? THUD! Buffy better not pass that off as a spell or lack in judgement - it was a 'bloody revelation', hee hee. And I so adored his plea for a chance to win her heart - that was so swoon worthy. Can't wait to hear her reply to THAT. Course, she's also a bit dazed at the moment too, lol. Bravo hon, brilliant chapter - luv you carino.

Author's Response: If it is the way it is, it's only because of you. I was at my wits' end until you prompted my muse out of seclusion and wow, if she didn't respond to the lure. ;)

I adore Fred and Wes, there should be more on them on the next chapter. ;) And you know this isn't the last we've heard of Cecily. Making everyone hate her will be too fun. *giggles* I agree, Buffy is doomed, how can she resist the pout and the kisses and really just him being him? ;) *lol* A bloody revelation, huh? I might have to use that. I guess getting to know him better and changing the story's direction is not too bad, at least so far. I'm ecstatic you thought the bit of winning her heart was swoonworthy and thank you for making it much better, too.

I'm looking forward to seeing how she will respond too, not too sure yet if she'd be able to. lol. Love you, cariño! *smooches*

WOOHOO! It's just as I suspected! Buffy's blood isn't actually tainted with that "vile cockroach's" blood, and maybe...just maybe, said vile creature could suffer a horrible and wretched death soon? That'd be great.

Ooh! And, did I sense that maybe Rupert Giles isn't as dead as Joyce's dad made him seem?

Clever girl. Bring on more!

Author's Response: *giggles* We'll see what I can do about the 'vile cockroach's' fate. ;) And you're the clever girl, your suposition about Giles is quite right. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing!

Joyce confiding in Spike was the right move. They're going to be great friends. So, if it turns out that Rupert isn't dead, does that mean Joyce's marriage to Hank is a sham? That would be wonderful.

Author's Response: I'm glad you think it was the right move, I thought so too. It will make Hank's threat a little less threatening. And you're exactly right about Joyce's marriage. ;) Thank you very much for reviewing, darling!

Spike tossing Hank out of his own home was delightful, and the snapping of the riding crop was very dramatic. Buffy's reaction to him is warming with every chapter, though she's right she can't offer her whole heart with Angel still in the picture.

What could Hank have as a bargaining chip? Here's hoping Joyce can nip his leverage in the bud.

Author's Response: Thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed those parts of the chapter and yes, Buffy is warming to Spike, but again she's too stubborn to accept that what she's beginning to feel for him is much more than she ever felt for Angel. Go figure. ;)

Spike tending to Buffy, hurting when she hurts, showed she means something to him. He can be tender and caring, but I wouldn't like to be in Hank's place.

Spike and Fred working together to woo Buffy might just soften her up. She's already responding physically, but the emotional part is going to be tricky.

Hank is certainly loathsome.

Author's Response: Oh yes, you're very right about the emotional part, mostly because Buffy is quite stubborn and has her mind set on being in love with Angel.

Hee, that he is. ;) Thank you so much for reviewing, cariño!

Buffy trying to evade Spike's attentions is not going well, and his reveling in any response, even fury, doesn't bode well for him giving up any time soon.

I think this is the understatement of the century: "Miss Buffy Summers would be none too happy to find herself betrothed to Spike." I can't wait for Buffy to find out not only does she have a second fiancee, but he's also won her in a game of cards. This should be fun.

Loved this chapter, it certainly makes things a lot clearer, and they will find Giles alive - my glass is half full regarding this (unusually!). Really looking forward to your next update - as and when.
