I love this part.

Suddenly, they were no longer Buffy and Spike in the really real world. No, at that moment, they became Randy and Joan in some cheesy after school special—and Joan had just found Randy's stash. That could only mean one thing—this was the confrontation scene

Spike really told her. Iol

Haha you wrote how he is Devil and she the Angel.

You are right this is the way Buffy sees things right now.



Author's Response: I've been going through your reviews of the chapters I have out, and you are pretty perceptive. You've commented a few times in earlier reviews on things that came about in later chapters...such as my comment on the devil and the angel. That's pretty cool. :)

RL sucks. lol
I hope things work out. I love your stories.
I want to see lots more from you.

Author's Response: Thank you. I really hope things work out too. So much is up in the air right now. I love writing, and I hope the day comes where the words flow out as easily as they did for me before. Right now, it's like prying them out with a crowbar! Thanks! :)

Thanks for updating this fic :D . Personally, I thought this chapter was just as great as every other chapter, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I know how real life can be, though, so whenever you can update, your fans will be here :) .

Author's Response: Thank you so much! It's been crazy. I've never been scared to write, and I don't mean scared to post something. I mean scared to type a single word even if I'm going to be the only one to read it. I thought I would never be able to start working on this story again. I've been trying everything I can think of to calm down solely because I wanted to write, but it hasn't worked out very well. I really had to force myself to write this chapter, though I found once I got into it a little it came a lot easier than I expected, but not as easily as I would have liked. I'm glad I made myself write it, though. I think it made me less scared of working on the next chapter. I guess I'll find out whenever I go to type it up. I'm not sure when that will be. It was kind of exhausting writing Chapter 9. Thanks for reading and reviewing and 'listening' to me ramble on! :)

Loved the chapter and I can't wait to see this talk.

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it! Hope my brain lets me write the next chapter soon. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! :)

Thank you for the chapter. I thought it was very well done although you are going through a difficult time. Please update when you can.

Author's Response: Thank you very much. I hope I can update soon, but it'll be a matter of working through my nerves. Think it helped a bit forcing myself to get this chapter out, though it was somewhat exhausting. Thank you all for being so understanding. I didn't want you to think that I'd just flaked out on you guys. Thank you again for your review!

I understand how Buffy must have felt when Spike was yelling at her and shaking her. Afterall she hasn't known him very long. Can't wait til the next update!

Author's Response: Yeah, Spike or not, I know I would be pretty frightened in that situation. I don't even like to think about it. Thank you so much for the review! :)

i say it was a fantastic chapter! personally loved the finishing line and the dialogue. I can see the characters acting out what you're writing and i am absolutely riveted. Please don't think you can't write when you're anxious, use it to your advantage! If it means more angst, give the story more angst, not only will it help get some off that stress off youre back but itll help you suss through things as well as rev up the readers to NEED to know what's coming next! i can't speak for everybody but that's how i feel.
hope all gets better for you soon, and i cant wait for more!!!

Author's Response: Yeah, I was a little worried about all the angst in this chapter. This was meant to be an angsty chapter, but I'm positive it would not have been nearly as extreme if I hadn't been feeling the way I am at the moment. It was like the only way I could get the chapter to form was to splash it with all the crazy emotion going through my head, and I was trying not to! I'm glad it didn't scare you guys off. Well, hopefully, it didn't scare anyone off. If I keeping writing under stress, it could be an even bumpier ride. Guess we can all just hold on. Thank you so much for your comments. You guys are making me feel less like a super freak, which is really, really nice right about now. :)

I know exactly what you mean about the writing and the personal stress, which is why I'm just now gettnig back to my own story writing after months of nothing. It's hard to form thoughts about anything much less concentrate on giving proper due to the story you love. I'd love to know what's up with your particular woes, if you want to tell us. Please know that you do have my sympathy and supportive thoughts heading your way. As for your story, loving it. I love your writing, and hope you can continue as you're able. Sara

Author's Response: Thank you so much. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has this issue. It was really crazy. It felt like my brain just shut down in an instant. And because I kinda would like to let you guys know what's going on with my work, here goes: I've done senior psychiatric tech work at multiple youth facilities for many years, but for the last couple of years I've worked at a facility that is part emergency children's shelter and part emergency youth residential treatment center. Well, we're being shut down due to lack of funding. That's been a stressor for me for a variety of reasons. Obviously, because my job is going away, but also because behavioral health facilities are being shut down all over the state and they are so very needed here. Our particular facility is the only one of its kind in the area and caters not just to our town but to all the surrounding villages. I love the kids I work with. I've been miserable living out here in the tundra in the middle of nowhere with no roads out, and those kids have been about the only things to make me happy. Now, I'm not going to have them anymore. What pushed me over the edge this last week was finding out that instead of closing later this year, we're suddenly closing in three weeks! I'm desperately trying to get things sorted out, so I'm not too badly screwed. Anyway, hence the stress. Thanks for letting me vent!
