"I—I'm just—we're done...right?" LOL!! Soooooo Buffy! Great job. On to the date ... *spooky evil music* ....

Author's Response: Thanks! Date time! :)

I really really like this story. Somehow I really buy the whole, he gets off on having Buffy instead of having drugs. This idea that for Spike love is like a drug, something he immerses himself in completely, lets rule him and is an uncontrollable force. Buffy gets pulled in because of the magnetism of the passion.

This is really beautifully written. I'm going to have to go check out some of your other stories and will be looking forward to more of this one!

Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it! I hope you like where I go with it. I feel like we still have a lot to cover. Thanks for reading!

Author's Response: Now that I have a bit more time to respond: Thank you so much for your compliment on my writing in this story. I'm really proud of this fic in that respect. I know the subject matter isn't everyone's cup of tea---but this is the fic that I really wanted to write and this is the way I wanted to write it. It's special to me in that respect. Whereas Blue is special because it's my first fic and Blood Money is the fic I thought I'd never write. I hope you enjoy all of my fics, and if the others aren't your thing, I hope you continue to enjoy Poison! Thanks!

I love how hes already crushing on her. More please soon.

Author's Response: Bad boy or not, he can be awfully cute sometimes. Thanks for reading!

I thought I'd check your story out. The start wasn't easy to read for me but I continued to the next chapter. (Spike's behavior doesn't make him very 'lovable' at the moment).
Buffy... yeah, I didn't understand they she is still with Riley. First yes when her father threatened her but now it's her own fault when she stays with him if he betrays her so much. But this (being betrayed) is something that they both have in common.
I wonder what Spike did - was is his fault (drugs, car accident) that somebody died who was dear to Willow?
Looking forward to where this will lead; well I hope Buffy will have seen the last of Riley soon (hey, I can hope, right? *winks*) Really, even if she cheated on him too I wouldn't want to keep him for the long run.
Well I'll be checking out the next chapters and see how it goes (if it gets too dark for me I can always read when finished)

Author's Response: I'm so glad you decided to try it out! It's that first chapter that's really the darkest. Not sure yet if there will be another of those in the story. No more ick like the end of that chapter, though. I think I would hurl. Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the update. I'm really liking this story, and can't wait to see where it's headed. This Riley and Buffy date should be really interesting, lol.

Author's Response: Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this story. There are so many plot points that we still have to revisit. I'm looking forward to writing the Buffy/Riley date. Those two have some kooky interactions...and now they'll be having them at a fancy restaurant. Hmm.
