Like the changes a lot!

Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you approve. :)

I like where this is going. I do understand why Buffy would be hesitant about starting something with William. It was less than 24 hours ago that he was passed out cold from his meds mixed with drinking. I think these two have a rocky road ahead of them. Update soon!

Author's Response: You're wise, and she knows better, but I she may not follow her own rules. You're right about the rocky road, it just may not be the rocky path you expect. Thanks for commenting.

Glad our boy is going sober and trying some therapy. Some things do require professional help. Not sure his motives are quite the purest, but whatever it takes to get the ball rolling. :) Update soon!

Author's Response: He doesn't have a hidden agenda, and he wants help right now, so we'll see where thing go from here. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for another update :)
Their talk went well - Buffy decided to stay so I call it well. William still has a lot to work through but he isn't alone.

Author's Response: You're welcome. Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. They both have the best of intentions.

Sexy, very excited for more

Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.

gah! wonderful..more please?

Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed. I hope to have more for you next week.

It's so sad that some parents do not understand how their words and behaviors can scar their children for life. Clearly this is the case for William. Hard-breaking chapter.

Author's Response: True, not just parents, but people in general. William needs to work these things out with the help of someone and realize he's not to blame. Thanks for commenting, sweetie.

What an awful life William had! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: He's certainly had a rough go of it. Thanks for commenting.

ohhh i'm hoping Buffy's body WON'T get the message :) can't wait for more!

Author's Response: You'll have to wait and see what happens. Without the baggage, he'd certainly be hard to resist. Thanks for reading.

William apologized, that's good. If he notices himself that he has a drinking problem that's even better.
Hopefully things will work out.

Author's Response: Yes, but he has to do something about it. That's the trick. Thanks for reading.

Powerful chapter. Now the drinking is out in the open, it will be interesting what is next for these two. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Thanks, sweetie, I'm glad you liked. It's out there in all it's ugly glory. You'll get some insight in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and leaving me a note.

First off, please know I like you story, the characterization, and their awkward dealings with each other. I'm just pretty sure if William was drinking on medication that would not rightly mix with alcohol, that he 1) wouldn't come around quite that fast to being moderately coherent, 2) would not be told by a pharmacist just to throw up without there being ambulances and ERs involved (Especially stomach pumping, which I have experienced from William's end after drinking too much, alcohol poisoning can kill you) and 3) he still would not have become really conversational just because he threw up. Alcohol sits in the blood stream, not just in the stomach. Buffy did the right thing, and perhaps my perception of time for the incident is off, cause I read it like it happened in maybe 10 minutes, and that wouldn't be enough time for the bloody pharmacist to give a response let alone Spike to wake from and alcohol/drug induced stupor. I love the emotion, and the tentative truth's that they seem to unearth about each other along the way, and it's nice to see resolution about this overdose without a cliff hanger... but this is the kind of moment that would make a better cliff hanger. I am really drawn to these two characters, and I want to see if Spike can become a better person. Please update soon and take my criticism as someone who just has a bit too much personal experience with such things. :(

Author's Response: I would never presume to write about something like this unless I had personal knowledge or had researched a particular situation fully. I have to know my subject matter. This took place over the course of an evening. He had one large drink, which amounts to about four or five regular drinks, so it wouldn't be alcohol poisoning, especially for an alcoholic. The problem was it conflicted with with his medication, and it also depends on the particular medication. My beta is also a nurse, and she's extra critical about medical accuracy. I'm thrilled you're enjoying the story, and I thank for the lovely compliments, and I'm not offended by your opinions. Thanks for reading and commenting.
