Author's Response: Just updated the story. Do hope you enjoy the next chapter as much.

Cool story, really enjoyable. Thank you for writing and keep going!!!

Author's Response: Thank you for reading!

Thank God for Colonel Monroe! Buffy should beat Quentin Travers, (literally) when she gets back. Just wondering if future Spike will start to "remember" their past together as things are happening...hmm. She wouldn't stake him in the past because he is important to her in the future, you wonder if he will figure how important he really is. Seems that past Spike will be mighty confused until he finds out she is from his own future. Great story!

Author's Response: All the secrets are beginning to unravel now and Spike is hideously confused! Thank you for reading.

That turned out better than I feared for Spike being in the hands of the Council. But who know how it could have ended if not for Colonel Monroe.
Looking forward to find out what he has planned.

Author's Response: He's playing it by the book, but sometimes that is not enough. Thank you for reading.

Save him, Buffy, save him!
Exciting as always...I really love this story.

now that wasn't a sensible thing to say to Buffy was it??

loved the update

No Way! She should never have left him behind. I am disappointed in that particular decision. Hasn't she learned anything? NEVER trust the Council of Wankers. She better do something fast or she'll have no Spike in her future.

It was so sweet that Spike and Buffy reached out to each other in their sleep. :D And the bit with toad was very clever. Loved the chapter!

I smell trouble on its way for the council....loed the update, more please

This is such an original story--which is pretty tough to come by these days :-). I absolutely love the character development and storyline. It is an amazing story and I'm really looking forward to hearing more.

I've been enjoying this story so far, but there are rather a few things bothering me with this chapter. First, the whole plan of the Resistance. They are attacking the Chateau just for the hell of it? That's rather unrealistic and not what the Resistance was about. They would sabotage, they were quite sneaky, they didn't just attack and risk their lifes if there wasn't even something to be gained. I know this is not your main focus, but I have always been very interested in the time of Nazi Germany and the Second World War, and it bugs me when authors take it as a back ground to a story and then handle it sloppy. The second thing is, that Joy just gave away her baby to go and die a useless death next to her dead husband. Might sound romantic when you are fourteen, but it isn't. The man she loved is dead, but there is still her daughter, the only thing she has left from him, and she just walks away, even while her child is still in the danger zone!
I got the feeling you threw character motivation to the wind and just went ahead because you wanted a) the Resistance plot device to end, maybe biting of more than you could chew, andb) Buffy and Spike with a baby. But you could have achieved that rather easily by giving them a proper plan and motivation to attack and letting Joy fall in the fight right away. The way you did it it felt sloppy.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, like I said I enjoyed it so far, but it's all the more disappointing when an author takes such short cuts.

Author's Response: Sorry you were unhappy about this chapter. In my opinion, I have taken no short cuts at all with the plot, and I certainly didn't get rid of the Resistance link because I had "bitten off more than I could chew". I think, perhaps, you were missing the whole point - I see that English is not your first language. Buffy is on the outside of this - she admits it - she is not the one making the plan, putting the plan into action or even told what lies behind the plan! There are some VIPs in the Chateau and the Resistance, for their own reasons that Buffy does not know, attack them. It would make a nonsense of the story if Buffy was told what was going on. I hoped I had made it clear that this is Joy Slayer's battle, not Buffy's. She is an onlooker and hates it. She feels detached and as if, I think I say, she is watching a TV movie. As for Joy giving away Aurora - I think she asks Buffy to take her to England and keep her safe. Lots of small children and babies were smuggled out of France at that time. All Pierre's family have been shot and Joy is still a Slayer with a mission. Canon tells us quite clearly about Slayers with children (ie.Robin) and missions. Unfortunately, Aurora is too small to be left behind a handy bush while her mother fights! Luckily you will discover in the next few chapters that the last thing I want to do is involve Buffy with Aurora. This is NOT a Buffy and Spike with a baby story. But glad you are enjoying some of the story. It's always interesting to have the readers' views.

Yikes, this chapter was full of danger and intrigue. Between the crash, caring for Aurora, Spike's dangerous predicament and the ploting Watchers Spike and Buffy certainly have their hands full. *bites nails* Great update as always!
