Poor Buffy...Hope Buffybot can save her

Author's Response: Hi dev. Oh, man! There's nothing that could've been said to Buffy that would've been worse than hearing that Spike was dust. We'll just have to see if the bot (or anyone) can get to her in time. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in, dev - more soon!

Aaaaaargh! You and your pesky muse do like to pile on the angst! Now I'll be on tenterhooks all weekend!

Author's Response: I'm so sorry, All4Spike! Honestly, I had planned on just the one cliffhanger (here), but ... well you know, trying to give Pagan some time to catch back up with me. My evil muse isn't really complaining, though - he dearly loves cliff hangers almost as much as he does Evil Plot Twists© , which is almost as much as I hate Weatherby. Not sure why, he just looks like a mean bastard. Pagan says I should write him as a sweet, cuddly guy next time! LOL! Hang in there! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in, even if it is to just bitch about my evil muse! heehee!

I really loved the scenes with Buffy and the Bot and I agree with the Bot that they need some theme music!! This was a great chapter and this is coming from someone that makes every effort to avoid threesome fics. After reading your warning I think I may have to skim over the next chapter while peeping through my fingers.

Author's Response: Hey, Melly! They do need some theme music! Hmmm ... I went to the Foreigner concert tonight and HOT BLOODED keeps pounding in my brain right now, although 'HEAD GAMES' made me think of S6 canon-Buffy. Anyway - sorry - I'm totally distracted by that concert. I really don't think the next chapter is that bad as far as being super-slashy, but there is some with just the two girls and Spike kinda ... directing, but also some funny bits in there too and some angst at the end. That'll be the end of the threesomes, at least for a while. I might have more much later, but will warn you if I do. :) We do need to work on that theme music when I can hear again ... :P Thanks for reading and stopping in, Melly! Love hearing from you always!

You write dirty and play dirty :)
Sorry I haven't been reviewing your past chapters...but I am here and still reading.
Who do I think it is? Someone guessed Dru...but I don't know...he seems drunk...or drugged? Someone buy him a drink while he was working the tables at the casino and cause him to as helpless as a kitten? Maybeee.... I think Angel will return with reinforcements...Willow maybe. Try to attack Spike and get Buffy away from him. Maybe the Council...pregnant Slayer's are never part of the plan for those tweeds. I was hoping for something to intervene with Buffy's plan to runaway from Spike. I wasn't looking forward to heartbroken Spike.Can't wait for more.

Author's Response: Hey, Shannon! Heehee! I like that - write and play dirty! :)

Yeah, he's been drugged, I'll give you that much. We'll find out next time who is behind it and who the woman is. Will post Friday night or Saturday.

Well, something has interfered with her plan to run away. Not really sure it's of the good, however. eeeek!

Thanks so much for reading, love hearing from you!

Of course it's a trap, he'd never play her like that. Hope the pointy sticks help. And I love her Bot education seminar. Really hope the Bot isn't the one and only slayer for too long. Update soon!

Author's Response: The pointy stick will help to some degree ... :) Glad you liked the Bot quip-inar. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in, BR! Always love hearing from you!

Now, I gotta wait an entire week? Great chapter, lol at Buffy explaining to the Bot how to pun. :-)

Author's Response: No, not an entire week - Will have the next on Friday night or Saturday, so just 3-4 days! You can do it! Glad you liked Buffy's pun lesson. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! :)

Well this chapter covered all of the emotions didn’t it? The added bonus of the pictures and then the humor provided by the Buffy Bot at the end made this chapter beyond wonderful!! After this surely she’ll drop her plans to leave? What am I saying?! Of course your muse won’t let that happen! If she doesn’t leave he’ll think of something to tear them apart won’t he? Thanks for another wonderful chapter to an even more wonderful fic!
P.S. Shagging Spike would not keep me sane. It would drive me crazy – in a really good way!!


Author's Response: ROFL!! Yes, I believe you are right: shagging Spike be would crazy-making! heehee! Oh yes, Melly, of course my muse would let Buffy drop her plans to leave! {{not.}} And, Spike may also find a way to tear them apart (or at least add to the angst) at some point also. VERY GOOD insight! You know my muse and these two crazy-love-birds too well! Glad you continue to like the Bot - she's a trip. I hope I can keep up her wit. Everyone likes her so much I'm feeling pressured to make sure I don't let her falter. {eek!} Thanks so much! Hope you had a good road trip - welcome home!

So good. I liked that you showed a little of their new life and that the Bot and Buffy are BFFs lol Good Lord that dessert is too much. Who the hell pays a grand for a sundae? Oh the rich and their over the top ways. :)
Loved the talk with BB. OMG she's too funny. And I love that Spike has taken her to the sex shop so many times. Oh I love our pervy, horny vamp. ♥♥

The threesome was sweet somehow...didn't squick me out and I'm not usually a fan of G/G action, but with the Bot it's different ya know? I guess cause she's not a real person and it's like Buffy doing it with herself (which is kinda weird anyway, and yeah Freud would have a field day) It's not like that nonsense in the comics with Buffy screwing a girl who was in love with her, when she knew she wasn't gay and didn't love her back.Urgh.

Buffy sure doesn't know Spike if she thinks he's gonna be happy with the Bot if she leaves. Right Buffy. Spike will chase her to the ends of the earth Bot or not. She's kinda dumb, but at least she is trying to leave Spike with someone/thing who loves him.

Uh Oh is Spike in love with BB too?

I'm going with some other diabolical plot twist © . Your evil muse scares me, even tho he's adorable and blue eyed. ;)

Loved it! ♥

Author's Response: Hey AMI! I'm glad I got across that Buffy and the Bot had actually become decent friends over the time together. Honestly, when my muse was like: 'Let's do a G/G/B threesome' I was going ... but ... but ... no! I don't want Spikey sleeping with anyone but Buffy! Plus, who would Buffy share him with? Thus ...the only logical answer: double Buffy! LOL! And the Bot has worked out wonderfully! I really like her. That was actually a surprise to me. heehee!

Oh yes, he's a perv. I *love* how much a perv he is and how he's turned Buffy into one too! :P

Yeah, I started reading the comics recently and that was just strange with that other Slayer (Who's name I no longer recall - can I just say I find all those Slayers just as annoying as the Potentials in S7). Of course, Buffy made *lots* of really bad sex decisions in the comics! Let's not go there!

Buffy's feeling extremely conflicted - thus the putting off leaving until 'tomorrow' - and I guess she's trying to do the best she can for Spike, so he'll have *someone* and not be all alone. Spike says he loves them both, and I'm sure in a way he does love BB, but ... not like he really loves Buffy, ya know? Don't get too hung up on that. It was just a blurted out term of endearment. He was kinda overwhelmed there at the end. :P

Yes, my evil muse is scary and I'd say you have a very good chance at the diabolical plot twist © being what happens next after the threesome is over. eeeek!! Good thing my muse is so damn hot and handsome with those piercing blue eyes and cheekbones and ... {sigh} ... without all that, he'd be really hard to live with.

Thanks so much for reading, AMI, and always stopping in! I love your notes! Always look forward to them! The real angst is coming, but I'll keep trying to break it up with some Bot humor so it doesn't get too overwhelming. {hugs}

Beautiful

Author's Response: Thank you! Hope you continue to enjoy the story!

I shudder to think what would have happened to Spike’s delicate and quite impressive dangly bits without the Bot’s many combat skills and excellent quips!! I loved when Buffy understood the Bot because, “It’s what I would’ve asked.”!! I especially loved the scene with the bet over the origin of the words ‘peckish’ and ‘hungry’. Their interaction with one another was wonderful until the conversation about having babies. I wanted to knock their heads together!! I know it’s too soon in the story for them to actually communicate their true feelings but it still drives me crazy!! At least my frustration will be cause for your muse to dance and throw and few more cartwheels!! I have a road trip this weekend so it may be a couple of days before I can review again. Thanks for this wonderful chapter!

Author's Response: Hey Melly! heehee! Yes, thank goodness for the Bot and her quips! That might've ended badly for all involved if not for her! Love them bantering over stupid stuff like the words - glad you liked it too. And, yes, {sigh} of course, they can't just talk about things that are *real* . Oh, you silly Spuffy dopes! Well, yes, at least my muse is quite happy with your frustration! Didn't know someone could smirk and do back-flips at the same time! Cool! heehee!

Have a good time on your trip! Be safe and have fun! {hugs}

This chapter was almost as much fun as the last one!! Spike and the Bot putting on that show for Angel’s benefit was perfect and then Buffy’s idea for vampire wrestling!! Her comments about the “nature show” and Spike’s replies were hilarious!!! Then the Bot’s, “I am not familiar with this form of combat,”! It’s strange, in a wonderful way, how I find myself laughing during such angst fests. Thanks for another wonderful chapter!!

Author's Response: Squeeeeeeee!!! I love hearing that there are laughs through the angst! That is just the most awesome compliment! The Bot was a stroke of genius for my muse, I must admit. I have to give credit to PaganBaby for suggesting Spike use a name from Monty Python to check in under - that really turned out fun. So glad you're liking it, Melly! Glad the jokes worked and got laughs! Yipeeee! {muse does cartwheels} whoa - I didn't know he could do that!

Lurve it! Cant wait til Saturday!

Author's Response: Yay!!! I'm so glad you loved it! I have to say that of everything I've ever written, this worried me the most. The next chapter will be a bit more ... intense with Spike a more active participant. I hope you continue to like it! Thanks so much for the support and positive reinforcement! It means a lot!

Silly girl thinking even for a moment, Spike who may not fancy having kids, could support her soo totally but still not step up and help her with a family? Cause he never helped her with Dawn... Silly Buffy. Those two make me crazy. :) Gonna try to catch up tomorrow. Darn you and your proliferism. (I may have just made that up, but I like it anyway.)

Author's Response: LOL! I love that - I think my beta readers curse my proliferism too, honestly! I tried to wait to start posting so there would be 'plenty' of cushion of beta'd chapters built up, but, alas, I've just posted the last one. Unless Pagan sends another back by Friday, I may have to go unbeta'd 'cos I refuse to make readers wait. I know I hate to wait when I'm reading a story.

And yes, silly Buffy - of course he was great with Dawn and he's your willing slave! Of course he would help you! Yes, they are a crazy-making pair!

I was sick a couple of days last week and re-watched S6 while on my 'death bed'. I had forgotten how crazy-making Buffy could be! "Come here - go away - move on, leave me alone - oh, you moved on awfully fast! (Anya) - I don't want you anymore but seeing you with someone else (at the wedding) hurts." GRRRRRR! Geez, yank him around a bit more and see if you can make the vampire completely insane! Hopefully, this Buffy won't make our Spikey quite so insane... {{eeep!}} Thanks, BR! Love your new word!
