Wow - I'm shocked! Not surprised, but still...
I knew you still had some evilness left in you! I was wondering what he would do when he found out it was Brad that moved him and not Buffy - or if that would even be a point. I guess it was!
Great chapter!

Author's Response: You're starting to know how my mind works! Tee hee! So glad that you liked the chapter. :)

Great chapter! Poor Buffy, though.

I liked the explanation about vampires and bathroom breaks! lol Very logical!

Author's Response: I had to think of some reason to make Angel go to the bathroom with spike!! lol!! Glad you liked it! :)

Spike feels too well after waking IMO, even if he is superhuman. After all, he has been starving and not moving for about 2 weeks. He CANNOT want sex. He should be lying, stretching and massaging his muscles; moving slowly, etc. He should spend the day in front of TV, not to go out dining as if he'd had just a slight cold for two days...
Also, after he heaves, they sit on, joke and laugh. He's puke is smelling on the floor... Weird. Or well, maybe I didn't understand correctly what was going on... Did he actually retch or just wanted to? Or maybe he rat to the bathroom and you forgot to mention it? It was a strange passage. I'm probably being stupid.
But I LOVED the comment about toilets and only girls going in two's. :) The bathroom scene in the diner is the jewel of the ch I think. :)
Finally S wanting to move out for a while is natural AND it provides us with additional angst. lol Always a plus. :)
Thanks for an interesting update.


Author's Response: Hi Serinah! I said he retched and heaved not that he vomitted!! Basically he had nothing inside to bring up! Hence no stinky mess on the floor!! Tee hee!! glad you liked the bathroom scene!! lol! this Fic will be completed by mid week and then I'll get to back to work on PL - won't post until got at least 20 chapters written as RL is pretty full on and I hate slow updates!! May plan for three times per week instead of daily to ease the work load a bit and get it out there sooner! Got ten chapters of it written already!

Great chapter, but I really think Spike should talk to Buffy about how he feels. *frustrated groan* Can't wait for next chapter, you make me keep wanting more of this story. :)

Author's Response: you should know that Buffy and Spike and tlaking don't often go together!! lol!!! Glad you're still wanting more but we're almost at the end of Spike's journey!!! :)

So now Spike has emotional problems. I can deal with that, as long as you don't pair Spike or Buffy up with anyone else.
I liked the part about him not being able to ignore the smell of blood, that will probably raise some problems later, especially if that works with demon "goo" as well. Hope the effects on that part will slowly lessen.
Brad is getting better and better, you are really good with his character. It would be nice if Spike at some point living in Brad's apartment, would help him better understand they're world, because for now he really don't get it.
You can ignore my hopes written higher, it's just the way my reviews sometimes comes out.
I'm glad you received the award, you most definitely deserve it. I would ask to update soon, but telling this to you would be like implying that you aren't doing that by yourself.

Author's Response: hi there!! I have been slaving away over a hot keyboard all day and so you will have a chapter tomorrow!! thank you so much for the congrats about the awards!! That's 2 fics with awards - wonder if this will be one too? Would love Brad to get a nom! I know what you're saying about spike and the real world! he just doesn't get it at all!!! Thanks so much for your review! :)

You'd better duck! LOL!

Author's Response: I am hiding beneath my bed right now!!! lol!!! only prob with that is that I can't reach my computer!!! lol!! Will you forgive me for Helen's Award? LOL then i can update tomorrow!!

Congrats on the Judge's Choice award! So love this story. Poor Spike is going to need lots of emotional help. Buffy and Angel are not going to be everything he needs. Spike has always hated how he was weak as William. His body has begun to heal, but his mind hasn't had the chance yet. He will push Buffy away till he feels he is worthy of her and most likely be angry with her for awhile. It's normal, but she will have to allow him to have the space he needs.

Author's Response: Hi there! thanks for the congrats! Really delighted!! two award winning fics Fall of The Night and Universal Vampire!! How cool is that? Spike was always going to fall apart a bit after his ordeal!! His pride is a problem to him!!! :)

OMG, will the trials never be over? More soon, please, hun!!!

Congrats on the Judge's Choice award! YAY YOU!!!

*huggles*

Author's Response: You know what I'm like Sotia!! thanks you and congrats right back at yer for Quiet Summer!!! *hugs*
