No, no need for explanations. It makes a lot of sense, at least to me.

Author's Response: I was afraid the dream sequence would be redundant; sorry to have over-explained. At least it had weird sex in it, though.

Wow, intense dream. ;) I feel so sad for both of them, but I can definitely understand Buffy's attitude towards him, considering her past. I enjoyed the part where he said the she made him that way, because I think it rings true on multiple levels. I hope it will cause Buffy to do some self-reflection. Waiting for more!

Author's Response: The fact that she made him was this unspoken, horrible fact that had been hanging over both of them from the beginning. Saying it out loud definitely moves the plot forward. So did the dream sequence make things clearer, more confusing? Did it spell out some obvious stuff that didn't need a David Lynch-like explanation?

Oh my... that would not be pleasant for Spike to see Angel and Buffy together, huh?
I liked Spike and Buffy scene in the basement, and I liked that little glimpse of Tara. You're very good with the imagery.
can't wait to read some more.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!

The shower scene was beautiful and so very filled with the emotions.. I don't blame Tara for leaving. It was all very intense. Its a good idea for her to learn how to block these things out.
I wonder what kind of watcher Wesley will be here.. the clumsy one or the demon hunter?...
On to read some more.

Author's Response: Thank you for the kind words.

Well, that is a twist. Figured he could hitch a ride on Tara's subconscious, but I gotta wonder when he entered Buffy's and her past, no less. Love that she still can't resist him, even though she's convinced there isn't any of her Spike left. Such drama, and I can only imagine what Wesley will have to say about any of this. Fantastic. Update soon!

Author's Response: Actually, he's not entering Buffy's past because in this version of the story, she never actually slept with Angel. Glad you're liking it, I am always afraid this story is getting super crazy.

First, I absolutely love AU fics where Buffy is still the slayer, so I am very much enjoying this fic. Second, I love love love that Tara is one of the main characters because she is great and definitely didn't get enough play on the show. Third, Buffy in this story kind of reminds me of Buffy in The Wish, albeit with more baggage. I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it. I was inspired by Buffy in the "Wish," I was watching it again and decided to incorporate the scar.

I hope your house is busy in a good way. Enjoyed this chapter. Interesting twist. Looking forward for more

Author's Response: We're selling our house. It's kind of wacky here. Glad you liked the chapter.

Yeah...Monday came early! Well, it is Monday somewhere! Loved this chapter! It was so sad, but enlightening at the same time.

Author's Response: Glad you liked it, Monday is going to be super insane, so I posted early.

I've been away for over a week and missed several chapters, sorry not to comment on each one, but I loved them all. This is a fabulous story.

Author's Response: Don't worry. Hope your trip was a good one, and thanks for reading!

Love that we are finally seeing some of Tara's hidden strength. And I love her insight into what both Spike and Buffy are going through. Someone needs to stop those two from killing Spike. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I love Tara! I thought she was totally underutilized so often on the show. Thank you for all your comments, they mean the world to me!

"His bones were breaking but Angel’s hair still did not move." Hehe... Love that. And I love Buffy's collapse at the end. Lost her lover in some sense, and her reason to fight all in the same day. Pretty intense. Even if she was victorious.

Author's Response: Thank you! The reality of the situation really sapped the victory of its impact. That was all Joss Whedon, he loves doing that and I was straight up copying.

Love Spike's two faced aide. She may have her own reasons and riddles, but it sure makes things interesting. And I love the whole tattoo being the reason for him keeping his soul. And the fact that he never bought any of that mumbo jumbo to begin with. Good thing he always played along with his sister. :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I was trying to do exposition in a comic way, glad you liked it! This story is going to have tons and tons of exposition, so my goal is to do it in an engaging way. If I could have Giles singing it the whole time, I would!

Clearly a simple explanation is best. Fewer words seem to make it stand out more. And the scene of his turning was chilling. Especially when we are all so used to Spike being so able to fight back and hold his own. It's just hard to see him be not so strong. Wonder what Toy will do now? What kind of vamp Billy will be. Pretty awesome.

Author's Response: Glad you like it! He really is very vulnerable in this story until he figures out what and who he is. I rewrote the turning scene many times, and I'm pleased it worked for you. Film noir is all about a man going up a world that overwhelms him, and that's what I was going for in that moment.

Love their crazy dynamic. Glad they're finally picking up some ground.

Author's Response: Thanks for the comment! You'll have to let me know what you think of the twist.

Lovely crazy dynamic they have. And poor Mr. Bickle. Girl sure knows something. :)

Author's Response: Why poor Mr. Bickle? Glad you like the dynamic.

That is quite an introduction. I feel there is much more going on inside her head. Looking forward to them both trying to figure it out!

Author's Response: Thank you! It's quite dirty, isn't it?

Lovely descriptive start. And a beautiful introduction to Buffy. And bonus points for choosing Pittsburgh.

Author's Response: I love Pittsburgh, it always feels like home. Glad you liked the introduction to Buffy and thanks for the comment!

Again, the your descriptions are amazing! I'm glad Buffy/Toy is softening up a bit, but I completely understand her hestitation toward him. Looking forward to more

Author's Response: She has such a battle to go through concerning him, and she's locking him up in a big old metaphor until she can really deal with what's happening. Thanks for the comment!

I love the part with him in the trunk. The descriptions were so intense, I felt like I was in there with him. Running to the next chapter

Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I was trying to rely less on dialogue, I think I tend to use it as a crutch. I also wanted to go into what it would feel like to be transformed. They hint at it in "Fool For Love," and some of the comics, but I wanted to put on my own spin. Thanks for the comment!

Very interesting story! The way you've presented Spike and Tara as siblings is very believable. I'm enjoying the conversational banter - very similar to the show, where you haver serious issues bumping up against silliness "how about commandant" LOL!

Keep writing. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Glad you like Spike and Tara as siblings. I loved the actors together in Amber Benson's movie, Chance, they had such wonderful chemistry. Glad you liked the commandant gag, that was a late addition to the story. I'm a big fan of silliness and seriousness colliding, glad it worked here. Thanks for the comment, and for reading.

Very nice bit of background story, about the werewolf - again not predictable, since you hadn't used Oz for it :)
All three of them hurt very much right now.. I hope given the time, things will get better and Spike will be able to proove himself that he can choose not to be a murderer.
Can't wait for the updates! Love the story so far!

Didn't know about the duck blood soup... it sounds... uh... interesting. any good? :)
Loved the chapter... I'm a bit claustrophobic myself, so I felt it along with Spike.
Loved the chapter!

Author's Response: I don't know if it's good, I've never had it. The soup is a Polish delicacy, that's all I know. I was hoping by giving some exposition in a weird way, it would feel less like exposition with the trunk thing. Thanks for the comment!
