I love the progression, and how the narrative is picking up the pace and feels a little more solid, like their budding affair. And love the a/n. =)

that sucks on the author's note, but worse things have happened, altho i'm sure not at that moment. great chapter :) i like how they're each each other's third :) 3 is my fav number :)

Author's Response: Yes, the virginity curse! It was still a wonderful memory for me, anyway.

I see a glimmer of Season 6 Spiffy in this. At least, the shame Buffy felt at using Spike and the sadness Spike felt because he always wanted more.

Truly, I'm smitten with this story. Do keep writing!

Author's Response: Thank you for the comments. Everything I write seems to have a Season 6 vibe, even though five is my favorite. Glad you like it!

when I said "they" I meant Buffy and Riley. There are so many other ways to be initmate with someone, Riley's just choosing to shut down completely instead of exploring them with her. I agree with you completely!

Author's Response: Sorry to get all over-explainy. Sometimes when I write, I can be overwhelmingly vague because hey, it's clear to me because it's in my brain. Thanks for your comments and for sticking with the story.

Great chapter! It makes sense that Buffy is trying to justify her being with Spike by only allowing oral sex. It seems she's trying to say, in her own mind, even though Riley is in a wheelchair they could still be intimate. I believe that once she let's Spike inside (both figuratively and emotionally) it will become more real. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Actually, she and Riley could still be intimate, he just can't handle it emotionally. It's sort of a reference to the series where he didn't feel he was man enough for her without the Initiative enhancements. I know some guys with spinal chord injuries can still have erections, some can't, but I didn't want to get into the nature of his injury, so he's just shut down to sex. This story is partly inspired by the Pedro Almadovar movie, 'Live Flesh.'

i really liking the progression of this fic i think its going in an interesting direction... oh i forgot to say last time i love a the ref to Morrissey im a pretty huge fan of his music (plus i live in the same city that he hails from) perfect music for walking through manchester in the rain *sings 'girlfriend in a coma' very badly*

Author's Response: Morrissey is fantastic. For some reason this particular story has lots of stuff from my college days, and Morrissey was a huge part of that. Thank you for reading this and for leaving comments!
