I absolutely love this 'reunion' fic. Can't think why I've only just noticed it! I have so may questions... but I'll wait for the story to unfold.

Author's Response: I am really glad you liked it! There is still some more 'folding' coming up, but the 'unfolding' has already begun, things will make more sense as the story progresses. Hopefully, I will be able to get all of Chapter One out and posted by the end of the month, because Chapter Two will be taking a different turn and I am anxious to see how it is recieved. Please keep reading, please keep reviewing.

Things are really tense between them, they have to talk about everything and see where they could go from there.

Author's Response: We will be getting to some action soon. Thank you so much for continuing to review, it is nice to know that people are coming back for the updates.

Buffy is learning more and more about Spike, good. They both realise that they need to talk about the bad past, but they don't want to make things more awkward.

Author's Response: Glad to see you came back! Thank you for the review! I don't think awkward is going to be the problem- oh, there will be awkward -but that is the least of the problems. Buffy knows more about Spike than she is letting on, but that is actually another story ( currently planned for Books 4 and 5 of the series, really hope we both make it that far!) The thing is, Buffy is slowly learning more about herself in the process, that's the good part. Looking forward to more reviews. Thank you.

Spacing is better again, too. Loved the update - Buffy gets more insight in what Spike is doing, even if they still have to talk.

Author's Response: Spacing is the bane of my existance right now, I am posting two stories on six sites and none, repeat none, of them are cooperating with the spacing. I am taking college XHTML, starting next week, so maybe that will help (still doubt it!) If you catch my posts on the first attempt, they are terrible, but I do try to go back and fix 'em. For now, they are done talking about the 'bathroom', it isn't going to come up in serious conversation between them for a while, but will be back in a later story, as it is still unresolved. Buffy is going to have an oppourtunity to take advantage of Spike pretty soon, (and he won't be able to stop it - Chapter Two) and I haven't decided yet how far she is going to go- actually I would like for her to be Bad Buffy, but don't know if I can quite pull that off-yet! Thanks again for the repeat reviews, please keep them coming.

Loved it! Everything new Buffy discovers about Spike is like a new piece of a puzzle. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Maybe Buffy will eventually get far enough along to find out what peice is missing and what peice really fits. More is coming, I am struggling (again) with a section I should have had written a long time ago, (my website has the rest of Chapter One already posted, less the sticky section, if you want to check it out, no promises it will be exactly the same when it gets here, but the rest of the chapter is there,) after I get that one out, things should post smoothly for a while, at least up to the next section I skipped. Please keep reading, please keep reviewing.

I don't imagine it was easy for Buffy and Dawn to move in with their dad again.
And I'm not sure it was a good idea to let the door open - maybe Wesley meant it literally with Giles joining him (dead).
Seems all slayers are short of cash these days.
Ah pager - whoever it was he or she has a bad timing.

Author's Response: Thanks for the (repeat!) review. It wasn't easy on many levels and I may be re-visiting that era of Buffy and Dawn's lives as the story allows it. The door has always been open, actually, in a figurative way; but no, I love Rupert to much to make it that simple- Spirit/Wesley is referring more to the excessive non-social drinking Giles has been engaging in lately and the general strain between him and Buffy that hasn't been resolved since the series ended. But you are right something(s) is(are) out there, waiting and watching.

You......are.......awesome!! I absolutely adore this story! You are plotting out a wonderful read.....I'm also very glad you didn't have them tearing each others clothes off five minutes after they saw each other again! The attraction is still there, you've captured that beautifully, and the kiss was sweet. Your dialogue is well written and easy to read, it flows like a natural conversation, and I can't wait for the next update! (though I suppose I'll have to eh?)::))

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm happy you like it. The stories timeline has Buffy arriving at the Mission on a Thursday nite and I don't have them doing it like bunnies until at least Sunday, (Spoiler there- todays post is only up to Friday nite/early Saturday morning,) and there is still a lot that has to happen before that does. I am firmly on the Spuffy ship, so I want the relationship to have enough behind it to make it stick this time, especially since I am planning rough seas ahead for our favorite couple. No worries though, overall it has a Spuffy ending.

Loving this! Buffy took Spike with Harmony rather well. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: I am really glad you are still liking the story! It is good to see that readers who started out early in my postings are still comming back for more, that is sooo appreciate. As for Harmony, if I get to continue the series (Power Alone is planned as a multi-book series at the moment,) she will be back, and there will be some really interesting Buffy/Spike/Harm dynamics at that time, but that is about 2-3 books down the road. Postings will slow down over the next few months as after thirty years, I finally have the time and means available to pursue that ellusive college dergree, but they won't stop entirely. As I said this is planned as a series. Thank you again for sticking with me!

Seems like times are hard for the slayers but it give the story a very real feeling.

Author's Response: Thank you for the review and for coming back to read on in the story. This story is set more or less in the present day in our world, so I felt it needed to reflect the times. The original series was so good at being relatable in that respect that I wanted to keep up the tradition as best I could.

A slayer get hurt on a wet floor - how would that look like. *gg*
But what about the peas? Oh that was mean *grins* Poor slayer.
Chapter was fun - enjoyed the update.
Interesting trunks Buffy found there - from William's family it seems / sounds.

Author's Response: I have always thought that peas were evil, except for the bitty baby ones and the ones with pods. There's more in the trunks than you think! We're only going to find out about a little bit of it in this story, I'm saving most of their contents for a future story ( oddly enough, one that will be mostly set in the past, but not as far back as William's day.) Thanks for the reviews, please keep them coming.

Really enjoying this! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I am glad that you're liking it and really glad that you keep coming back for more. I was concerned that this chapter (especially this post and the next) might get a bit boring with all the re-aquainting that is going on so I am trying to throw in little bits and pieces that will be needed later - I hope it is working. Please let me know if its not. Thanks so much for reading and for reviewing.

So.. they haven't killed each other yet. Sounds like a bumpy road ahead.
Oh and even more than I first thought - another prophecy.
Oh wings - angels or dragons? Looking forward to find out.

Author's Response: Actually, there are a few prophecies and they are all set to go "bang" at around the same time, and more than one set of wings. The road ahead has some interestering curves in it as well. I hope you stay around for the ride. Thank you for the reviews, I am very glad to see that some people are interested enough to come back for the next posts, again I do appreciate it. Thank you.

Wondering what's in store for Buffy and Spike! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: There is a good bit in store for them and for some of the other Scoobies as well, in due time. All told in the story line for this, they spend about a week at the Mission before... but I don't want to give it away too soon. Thanks for reading and I can't wait for more reviews, they really do feed the muse. My next update is planned for this coming week, So please keep watching, reading and reviewing. Thank you again.

Spike is right, they do have a lot to talk about. Very interesting part with the monks

Author's Response: I/m glad you like the monks, a few of them will be sticking around for a while-they were so intriguing in the original series even though we saw so very little of them. And yes, there will be talking - there is also some action coming up too. Thank you for coming back to read and review part 2, I appreciate it very much.

The lack of spacing in this chapter made it difficult to read so I didn't actually end up reading much of it. I liked the first chapter though! But perhaps you could continue to use the chapter 1 spacing from here on out?

Author's Response: So sorry about that. I'm not sure how it happened, but I think I fixed it now. Please give another read and let me know. Thanks

Can't wait to find out what happens next! I'm hooked!

Author's Response: Great, I am extremely pleased that everybody is leaving such positive reviews and very happy that everyone seems to want to read more. It is Spuffy, so we all know where it ends up at, but I want to try to make the journey there interesting and worth the ride. Thank you and please keep reading and don't forget to let me know how I'm doing. Thanks for the great review.

This was different. I'm intrigued.

This was such an intriguing first chapter. I have so many questions. :) I look forward to seeing where you go with this.
I don't normally read first chapters from new writers until I've heard some buzz about them, but I loved your title. I'm glad I broke my rule.
I will admit to mixed feelings concerning Spike with dreads. ;)

Author's Response: I'm glad you broke your rule too. Hopefully the upcoming posts will answer some of your questions. If your on the Rastafarian side of the dreds, you will be disappointed-it's going elsewhere. Thanks for rewiewing, this is my first public posting and I was so nervous that nobody would read it. Thank you.

Author's Response: A post script: the title 'Other Than Dead' was taken from Spike's "always got to be blood" speech at the end of season five and the series title 'Power Alone is Not Enough (PAINE)' was in response to the "It's about the Power" theme of season seven.

I really hope you continue, have been having the bad luck of following stories that never get finished. This one promises a great read!

Author's Response: I certainly hope to continue, there is more to come, some of it is just waiting to be posted, some needs fillimg in, and there is still alot that I have jotted down but isn't presentable yet. Thanks for responding, thats what I really needed to help get me in gear to get it finished- it is going to be rather long, so it won't be coming all at once, but I'll try to keep it coming as steadily as I can.

Interesting storyline, over this time a lot of things have happend, so it's a lot we don't know. It felt like the first part with Angel came in the wrong order, like it should be the midlle part.

Author's Response: A lot of things have happened and I will get to some of them-others I am leaving up to you. We all have our own ideas as to what has happened with Spike, Buffy and the Scoobies since the end of the series, this is my version of it and I really hope some of the readers like it. I will be getting back to the Angel part, but as it stands now it will be a while, that prolog was meant as a set-up for a couple of ideas I will be exploring in this piece and the ones that follow, hope you can stick with me long enough to find out how that one ends.Thank you for the review and please keep them comming.
