It appears their relationships parallel one another. You really write their characters well. For every step forward they take two back. There interactions make me smile and a little sad at the same time. I can't wait to read how and why they begin to acknowledge their relationship.
Author's Response: I tried to build it that way, so it's great that it reads that way too. And thank you so much for the compliment!! That made me very happy! :)

That went quite smoothly. And boy did those two green light a whole bunch of heading for smoulder. :) Can't wait for that, and for the moment that she realizes the book he's reading is the other them's documented love story. That will be a great moment. And that kid is so adorably coniving. I bet she cast the spell that switched them... and old soul and all that. Something like mommy and daddy made her to ensure Spuffy love in all universes. :) It's just a theory. Loved it. Hope you have some less busy weeks in the near future. Update soon!
Author's Response: It did! They're getting closer and closer the more time they spend together. There will be a moment when Buffy finds that book, and that's all I can tell you. ;) Hee, conniving is probably the most accurate way to call Emma. She's a little manipulator. Spuffy love in all the universes; now that sounds lovely! Thank you so much for reading!! :)

Awww snugglies! I'm guessing there's some dimensional influence at play here, since Buffy notices feeling a little too comfy with their movie time cuddles, like it's an old habit. You know things aren't quite right when Spike agrees to put on underwear.
Emma's going to grow up to be a supervillain, isn't she?
Author's Response: Is it dimensional influence or is it all psychological? That's the question. ;) 'Playing' a role can mess with your head and perception quite a bit. But maybe it shouldn't feel so right.
LOL!! You're awesome and this made me laugh. :D She's totally a supervillain in the making!

I love this story, orginial take on the concept - I don´t think its been done this way before. Can´t wait for next chapter.
Author's Response: Biggest compliment ever. Thank you so much! :) I always try not be a copycat, even if the core concept itself isn't very original at all. More shall be up very soon! :)

Lovely dynamic. Telling dream. Somethings you just can't help despite knowing better. And I love new dad Spike trying to winter-proof the niblet. I think my dad used to try to put me in the same outfit when I was little... and then I'd get soo hot playing in the snow that there was more danger of heat stroke than frostbite. Can't wait to see how they ignore all these things when it's bedtime tonight...cuz we all know they are not dealing with anything as face value yet. :) Update soon!
Author's Response: Haha, when I was little I got put in this horrid ski get-up that was all big and puffy and I hated it so much, although I hated it mostly because it was a dark violet colour, which I was very much against back in the day. Heat stroke instead of frostbite? Yup, sounds about right. lol And oh, you shall see a bedtime scene in the next chapter, I believe, so we'll see what happens. *g* Promise it will be up soon! :)

I really liked this chapter, you wrote the dream in a very dreamy way. Literal dreams are always disappointing and getting the right feel for an authentic dream scene is hard to do. Thanks for the notes on the colors at the end, that was fun. I have to admit, I assumed the red was in reference to Spike picking up on Buffy's bodily functions.
Which brings me to the next thing I liked about this. I get that some people are squeamish about it but to write a story about a human woman with a vampire love and to not have her period come up at all is just strange. That seems like it'd be important to at least mention. And of course, it strikes at the worst possible moment for Buffy because the universe isn't happy unless she's miserable. Well, I guess the worst possible moment would have been before Spike started being nicer to her, so at least she has that much. But yeah, I'm glad you decided to go with this.
Emma, as always, was adorable and also as always, I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Ahh, thank you!! :) Writing dreams is so much fun, especially because I do all kinds of wacky things that wouldn't make sense in the 'real' world. Awesome that you liked the colours too, and actually that red can also be interpreted as Spike sensing her bodily functions. That and/or the ocean turning into blood, but he definitely sensed it.
Yes! I very much +1 your opinion. There's no need to be squeamish. It happens, and Buffy is no excpetion. And of course she'd have bad luck. Where would be the fun in everything going well? ;) But as you said, she was lucky it happened now that he was actually willing to help her. Could have been worse.
More soon, promise! :) Thank you so much for reading!

I really liked this chapter. Especially
the part with Spike and Emma. I remember being dressed like that.
Author's Response: Happy to hear that, Bridget! :) And unfortunately, you and me both. Man, I hated my winter gear so much.

The other them in Sunnydale. :) Means they could make it back yet. Interesting. All caught up and now I'm ready for more. Love their reluctant dynamic, and anytime Spike mocks an American accent. Wonder how far they'll have to go before they get snatched back to reality. What lines will they cross and what will our Spike do to find his happy ending. Update soon!
Author's Response: We might see more of the other Spuffy again, though not right away. But their presence in Sunnydale is quite important for the problem to be solved. I promise more will be up soon. Shouldn't be longer than a two-day wait. :) Thank you for the wonderful review!!

And I love the makeup thing, this scene and the one last chapter. And it does serve them right that their child is bossy and a mite evil. And the Kiss!!! And after it all doesn't "mean anything" he goes right back to reading. Guess captivity makes people do the wacky. :)
Author's Response: Hee, well, they've only got themselves to blame. Emma got those traits from them. Not that they ended up being too upset about the whole kissing thing. ;)

There are so many things that are wonderful about this chapter, starting with the fact that there are some things you just can't put past a small child. Glad to see her distress makes them both care, even if they try to pretend that they don't. And that book! One way or another it could rewrite history... or cause some to repeat it. Love Spike's passive aggressive interest in it, too. Don't think someone is as immune to pouty blonds as he'd like to be. And the little old lady during Buffy's grocery store break down, if only that scene would have really been in the show... could have been a classic. Love it. So glad there's more waiting for me!!
Author's Response: I think children are often more perceptive than adults give them credit for. :) The book excerpts are so much fun to write! For Spike, it's kind of like that feeling you get when you really don't want to know something, but at the same time you can't help yourself and search for it anyway. He'll have to acknowledge sooner or later that he's indeed not immune to her charms. ;) So awesome that you liked that grocery scene!! I had a lot of fun writing it. *g* Thank you for the lovely review!!

The plot thickens even more! Normal?Buffy/Spike stuck in Sunnydale with no money and no one they realize they might know? Good thing they're survivors.
Oh banter and barbed comments, you remain delightful, as does unselfconscious naked Spike and bed hog Buffy. Can they put their bruised egos aside to try and figure out how to rescue themselves and their other selves? Can't wait to find out.
Author's Response: It's certainly a daunting situation, but as you said, they're survivors. We'll see how they deal.
That part was my favourite one to write in this chapter! Love that you enjoyed reading it. :) Thank you for reading and reviewing!!

Oh denile, you saucy mistress, you just hang on to the bitter end. That was one heck of a kiss and brava to you for writing it so well. There was this nifty seesaw between what what happening physically and what was going on mentally. On the first count it was just vague enough to be tantalizing and not confusing-- too often writers just focus on the physical stuff and over-describe it which leaves eroticism by the wayside. On the other count it was subtle enough to let Spike tell himself what he needed to while not overselling how much all of it is denial. In short, that was rather lovely.
So. Bedtime's going to be interesting now that they're not pretending to be fighting anymore. Heh. Oh Emma, you devious little mastermind.
Just out of curiosity, will they ever run into friends or family of their counterparts here? Deeply curious.
Can't wait to find out what else is in store for the book, too. It needs to be next update time already!
Author's Response: Couldn't say it better myself! They find it rather hard to let go of the denial, but they'll have to deal eventually. Thank you so much for all your lovely words concerning the kiss! I am actually very conscious of blending thoughts with action when writing scenes like these, so it makes me very happy that you saw it.
Oh, the bedtime will be a fun scene! It will be in the next chapter. :)
You're the first one to ask, by the way, and the answer is... I'm planning on it. ;) Although it's less of an actual run-in, but... you'll see.
You'll find out in the next chapter! Promise it will be up soon. :)

how was it that Buffy was losing an argument to a five-year-old Good genes, hers and Spike's combined. *gg*
Lesson for Spike too - giving her sugar *gg* He suffered a lot. *grins*
What a bag of Marshmallows can do. :)
Enjoyed the update - and I'm not so late this time.
Author's Response: Buffy is helpless in the face of such a lethal combination of genes. ;)
Feeding a child too much sugar? Never a good thing. lol
Peace offerings come in many forms. Sometimes they're pink, edible and fluffy.
Hee, glad to hear it! I'm updating more right now so when you check next time, you'll find a new one. :)

I love that Spike's prose reads like a bodice-ripper, it's so fitting. Also that regular-Spike's so into it.
So Emma's wise to her parents' lack of loviness and smoochies, continuing to make things awkward for everyone. Also, Spike is remarkably tolerant of her deciding to make him pretty. Must be the lack of magic restraining his demon. Yes, that's it.
As always, eagerly awaiting more!
Author's Response: Haha, I've never thought of it that way, but now it totally amuses me. Spike reading a boddice-ripper novel. *giggles* Well, what can you expect from a vampire who loves soap operas?
She's a smart cookie, and she will use it to her advantage. Yup, it's totally the lack of magic that Spike's going all soft on her. Yup. ;)
More soon, promise. :) Hope you'll enjoy it!!

*phew* That little girl had her presents after all. Would be a sad Christmas for her to think Santa had forgotten about her.
I can see why the situation would be weird for Buffy and Spike. *gg*
Looking forward to what will happen next.

Logical decision to work together now. Hopefully then they'll get out there.
Author's Response: Means I did my job well. ;)
That's where I wanted to get them. It's always fun to have them be forced into working together and having to depend on one another. It gives them that neccessary time and space to realize they fit together quite well.

Well more for me to read!
That was nice of Spike to help Buffy out (lying for her).
Oh and the evil Christmas Tree was funny *gg*.
Nope, didn't mind Spike's talk with Joyce, it was insightful.
