Buffy really told off Angel, good to see. A lot of great things were said in this chapter. It was also great to see Michael and of the four horsemen. They gave of a powerful feeling. A grest chapter indeed.

Thanks for the shout-out, sweetie *hugs* It made me all smiley ^_^

OMG, Buffy dusted Angel to protect Spike! *does happy dance* heehee There are no words for how awesome that was. Yes, he was brought back right at the end, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the dusting of Angel :)

I was just as surprised as the characters were when Spike said Michael should bring Angel back. I didn't expect him to say that! lol S2 Spike would've done a dance on Angel's ashes, but I can see why, at this point, he would consider having Angel back as an ally. I guess I'd be okay with Angel coming back, just as long he doesn't make googly-eyes at Buffy or try to hurt Spike. I just hope Angel comes back from Hell with some clothes on this time lol

Everyone defending and protecting Spike was wonderful. And the fact that it was Angel they were protecting him from made it even better! Oh how I dreamed of seeing even a little bit of that on the show.

Buffy telling Angel off (before the awesome staking :D) was absolutely priceless. She said so many things us Spike fans have said when defending our favorite vamp. Bravo!

The introduction of Michael (and his pals, the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse) was an unexpected, cool twist. I never would've seen that one coming!

I also enjoyed the touches of humor throughout. Anya, Buffy, Spike and Dawn each had a moment or two that made me laugh. And the characters' voices were spot-on, it was so easy to hear them saying their lines. Stories like yours are so vivid and well-written that it's like watching a new episode!

Thank you for another thrilling chapter! You never disappoint. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next :)

I love Buffy defending Spike, and someone from the PTB finally acknowledging his uniqueness, his ability to love and control his demon with no intervention from gypsies! Unlike Angelus! I also love bringing Michael and the 4 Horsemen into it. That was unexpected and pretty cool. I hope that Buffy and Spike don't end up regretting this decision to bring Capt. Forehead back! Hopefully, Angel will be sacrificed to save Spike and/or Buffy during the next Apocalypse!! Or, you know, maybe Tara will just burn him up in his sleep sometime. :) Great job, DH!

I loved Spike teaching Buffy the ways of the Jedi ... or ... well, whoever! It was quite interesting and something that I didn't think they explored enough in the show -- Spike knew how to fight in lots of ways!! He could've taught them all a lot, but they saved it all up for the Potentials. :/

Anyway, I digress! I really enjoyed that sparring / teaching session, but now you've left us with a HUGE CLIFF HANGER! Who will take out Angel??? Or at least knock him down a peg? Buffy? Spike? TARA? JOYCE!!! I can't wait for more! I hope your life calms down a bit so you have more time to write and let us know what happens next!!

More, please!!!

Author's Response: Hey, P4S. :-) Glad that you liked the chapter, and the fighting. Spike teaching Buffy was kinda cool to write, and I enjoyed doing it. It was cool doing the research to, I learned a lot as well. Now, as for the cliffhanger, I do apologise, but I have finished the next chapter, so I guess we'll see how I go as to getting the next chapter up, and then, maybe we'll see what happens with Angel. I just hope you like it. Once again, thanks for the comment, P4S. I'll try to get the next chapter up ASAP for you, and everyone else. Take care. X

Yay for another chapter!  I loved it!  It had your usual wonderful mix of funny stuff, hotness, surprises, and sweetness :)

I'm touched that you dedicated the chapter to me, I'm all verklempt ^_^  I'm proud to have inspired someone as cool and talented as yourself *HUGS* And thanks for pimping my fics ;) lol

I enjoyed Spike's angry tirade towards Giles. How he quickly went from angry, to sweet (with Dawn and Joyce), to passionate (with Buffy) was just so Spike lol  As usual, you did a great job capturing the voices of the characters.

Buffy's thoughts were delightfully dirty heehee I love that she's unfurling her freak-flag.  Best of all, she doesn't feel bad and guilty for it like she did in s6, she's embracing the naughtiness :)

The training session was very well done!  You obviously know your stuff, or you did a lot of research - either way, kudos! The moves Spike was teaching Buffy were neat, it was educational as well as fun to read. I thought Spike doing all that fancy swordfighting stuff and being so knowledgable was pretty hot too :P heehee

I was like "Oh hell no!" when Angel showed up at the end lol  That set up some good drama for the next chapter though.  And I loved, loved, loved Joyce and Tara(!) moving to protect Spike ^_^  Why oh why couldn't the show have been like this? lol

Loved the chapter, hon! It was worth the wait :)



Author's Response: Wow, PB! Talk about me being late, huh? Still, better late than never, right? :-) Right, well, first up, I'm glad you liked the chapter, with the hotness and sweetness. And as for pimping your fics, any time, PB, I promise. Now, as for dirty Buffy, gotta love it right? Eventually, we'll see how dirty her and Spike can be together, I'm sure. I'm glad you liked the fighting. I did have to do some research, but I hope it came out well. And yeah, I enjoyed Spike teaching Buffy too. And as for Angel, don't worry, we'll find out what's gonna happen to him soon. I just finished the next chapter, and it's off with my beta, so hopefully, not too long for another update. Right, well, I'll call it there, but once again, thanks for the review, PB. I'm glad you liked the chapter. You take care, PB. X-X

Really great chapter.  The confrontation was really well done.  You could really feel the rage in Buffy.  I am glad that she did not pummel Xander.  This was perfect.  Of course he could not accept responsibility and blames Spike.  Look forward to the next update.

The confrontation was really well done, so intense! It was easy to get caught up in the rollercoaster of emotions.

Buffy really tore into Xander! I totally thought she was going to beat the shit out of him lol You gave some good examples of Xander's bad past behavior. I said, "Hey.. that's true, he did/does do that!" a few times lol 

I actually felt kinda bad for Xander at first... Not that he didn't deserve their condemnation, but it was just sad that it had to come to that.  I felt less bad for Xander after he blamed Spike for the whole thing and started plotting to stake him, of course lol

Thank you for what you said in the notes ^_^ You always know how to make me smile *big hugs*



Author's Response: Hi, PB!! I'm glad you seemed to like the chapter, and you got caught up in it all, that's nice to hear. :-) And yeah, can you tell that I was struggling to keep Buffy from kicking his ass?!! Lol And as for Xander, what can I say? I don't like him. Never really have. Like I had Buffy point out, he's arrogant, manipulative and irresponsible. Not endearing qualities in my opinion!:-) Sorry for making you sad for Xander, although I guess I should be pleased that I was able to take you on a little emotional ride. That's pretty cool, actually! YAY! Heehee. And good that by the end of it, you weren't feeling sorry for him. I know I've read some stories where they try and make him a sympathetic character, and justify his bigotry and such, but I just can't do that, I'm afraid. And finally, glad I could make you smile. I'll try my best to keep it up. :-) Thank you sooo much for the beautiful Banner as well, PB. I love it, it's so good and awesome and amazing. It's perfect. Truly, thank you. Right, I'm out. Take care, PB, and thanks once again, for everything. You truly are brilliant. X

A really strong chapter, an emotionell peak. Buffy lether rage lose in what she said. She will probably feel a bit embarrassed when she cooles of though. It was almost painful to see how Xander was trying to save himself from what he said, like when an accident happen, you can't help but look. Xander seems to have lost his ability to think, killing Spike would make things even worse for him.

Author's Response: Hi, Magnus. Thanks for taking time to let me know what you thought,and I'm glad you liked the chapter. As for Buffy being embarrassed, hhmmmm, I might have to disagree with you there. We'll see, but she didn't say anything that was untrue. OK, a couple of things were a little harsh, but then, so was Xander, so I think she'll feel justified. And she has the support of everyone else, so... we'll see. And as for Xander, again, you'll have to wait and see. I don't want to spoil things for you. Thank you once again for taking the time to leave me your thoughts, and for sticking with me. Take care.
