Ooooooooooooo.... Okay, I really wanted *Someone* to pummel Xander! First I thought it would be Spike, despite the pain from the chip. Then I thought it would be Buffy, then I thought it would be Willow zapping him with magic, then Anya ... then Giles ... then JOYCE .. .but NO! NONE! NO ONE! ARGH! :-) That's just evil, DH! I see where you got your name, now! I hope someone pummels him before he gets a chance to stake Spike! Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Sorry to disappoint you P4S. No beating of Xander today! Maybe next time. Then again, maybe not. Who knows! Heehee. Seriously though, I'm glad you liked the chapter, and I promise, I didn't mean to be evil. Well, not REALLY evil, anyway! :-D And as for Xander staking Spike? Hhhhmmmmm... maybe. Maybe not. You'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for the praise though, P4S, and all the help as well. Believe me, my grammar appreciates it! :-) Take care, and thanks again. X

He is NEVER gonna learn is he? It's never his fault, somebody else always to blame.



Author's Response: Hi Asharah, thanks for taking the time to stop in and leave me a comment. And as for Xander, no, I don't think he will learn, but mainly because he CAN'T! If it's not his fault, then as far as he's concerned, there's nothing for him TO learn. We learn from mistakes made, right? But he doesn't think he's made any, so... what can he learn from those 'non-mistakes'? Anyway, thanks for your comments, and take care. X

UH-OH!! Guess who's in for it now?!?!?! Muhahahaha ... get him, Spike! :-)

Loved the chapter, DH! Great fight scene! Really excellent! Those are not easy to write, I know! I always love Spike going all 'GRRRR-ARGH', especially in defense of Buffy or her family. And we all know he can! Loved Buffy, and everyone, for that matter, seeing just how terrifying he can be when someone he loves is threatened. One thing I love about Spike is how vicious he can be while being vulnerable too. A sweet savage! Can't wait to see who wails on Xander first ... Buffy, Spike, Anya, or Joyce! Joyce may actually be the scariest of them all! haha! Great chapter, DH! Looking forward to more. {hugs}

Author's Response: HI, P4S! Heehee, yeah, Xander's in trouble! Oh, whatever is gonna happen... just have to wait and see! Heehee. Seriously though, I really glad you liked the chapter, and Spike's moment of bad-assery! (Is that even a word? Well, it is now!) And yeah, the definite lesson here would be, "Don't mess with Spike's girls, 'cos he'll kill ya!" And as for Xander, and who's gonna get him first? I have to say, I'm kinda with you, I reckon Joyce, when she wants to be, could be like, REALLY scary! :-) If he had any sense Xander would run away, but then, Xander's not exactly the sharpest tool in the box, is he? But then also, remember Tara? Sometimes, it's the quiet ones you have to look out for! You never can tell. :-) Heehee. Right, I'm out, P4S. Thanks for the review, and the kind words, and all the help that you've given me along the way. Trust me when I say that this story would be a LOT worse with out you helping me! :-) I'm really pleased you liked it. Take care. X

Wow, that fight scene was amazing!  Really well done and impressive, you've got a real flair for writing them. Spike going medieval on those vamps was an awesome spectacle. I loved Buffy's thoughts as she watched it too. The best part was that Spike was doing it to protect Joyce, and that Buffy (and everyone else) saw he meant what he'd said :)

When Joyce slapped Spike, I was like "Wtf?!"  But the reason she hit him was very sweet, and then she hugged him, so I forgive her for slapping him lol Buffy, Dawn, and Joyce's reactions to Spike after the fight were both funny and sweet ^_^

Excellent chapter, and well-worth any amount of waiting! :D

And thank you for the wonderful things you said in the chapter notes *big hugs*  Me ==> ^_^



Author's Response: Here we are again, PB! Me, late as usual! LOL. What with life and everything, I've been a little more delayed than I'd like with my replies, but, here I am! :-) Thank you so much for the praise and kind words regarding the fight scene. I liked writing it, and I liked writing Spike as the formidable warrior that he we all know he is, especially when it comes to the Summers ladies! :-) That was cool. I'm really pleased that you liked the chapter as a whole, and that you could find some funny little moments in there, like Joyce's slap. You know me, I really like the idea of a Joyce/Spike friendship, so her being worried and maybe a little over-protective fits, at least for me. That's what I wanted, so that's what you get! Heehee. And as far as the chapter notes go, PB, trust me on this, you've MORE than earned every word of them! I owe you, like, A LOT!! So be prepared for more to come, OK? :-) Take care, PB, and thanks, once again, for the review. X

Augh! Leaving it there...so, so cruel. I LOVED this chapter. I love when Spike is written as the fierce warrior, master vampire he is. He is always underestimated, so when Buffy gets to see the actual power and skill he has, I'm super excited.

I can't WAIT to see what's in store for Xander. I (not so) secretly love fics where Xander gets what he deserves. Such a hypocrite, and I love, love it when he's called on it.

Bravo! Great fight scene, and also well done on Spikes internal monolog.

Hurry up, now! ;)

I think my angsty influence has rubbed off on you, DH! Of course, that was my evil plan when I offered to beta for you, turn you into an angst-machine! :-) In all seriousness, though, excellent chapter. Loved the ogling and laughing at the beginning and the crying in the middle. Felt so bad for all of them really, but for Spike, Buffy and Anya in particular. You know I love it when a story makes me cry and you did! I can't wait to see just who exacts retribution on Xander! Will it be Anya or Buffy or Ripper? Or JOYCE? Or the witches? The possibilities for major pain are limitless. I almost feel bad for Xan now ... almost! ;-) Great chapter! Keep it up!

Author's Response: HI, P4S! Heehee, well, that angsty stuff of yours seems to be contagious, alright! LOL. I'd like to think I'm getting the hang of it. Glad that you liked the chapter, and there were bit in there that you could lol at, as well as the more emotional stuff towards the end. As for Xander, and who's gonna get to him first.... I'm not telling, but rest assured, I don't think he will fare too well! You reap what you sow. Thanks for the review, P4S, but more importantly, thanks for all the help and encouragement you've given me. This story wouldn't be half of what it is without you, that I can promise.

Author's Response: PB, PB, PB... where to begin? :-) First up, thank you for the review, it means a lot tat you're willing to share your thoughts with me about what I've written. Your positive comments really do mean so much to me, and for that, I truly thank you. Glad you liked the chapter, and that I got some giggles here and there. So, if there's gonna be a 'Gratuitous Male Objectification Day', does that mean that there's gonna be a female one as well? 'Cos that would be my favourite holiday, for sure! Heehee Glad that I could give you some pleasant thoughts, along with Joyce and Dawn. It would appear that you're in good company! LOL. Thanks also for the encouragement about the emotional responses in the aftermath of the tape. That was quite difficult for me, to convey, but I'm glad that it seemed to work and that people certainly haven't said it was bad. That's always nice. As for Xander, I'm afraid that you'll just have to wait and see. Heehee >;-D Seriously though, PB, thank you so much for all your encouragement and inspiration. I wouldn't be here without it, and that's a debt to you I can't begin to quantify. A simple thank you and my gratitude will have to do, I'm afraid. It's all I have to give you.

Squeee! So much wonderful Spuffyness! ^_^ Just like your other chapters, there was so much to love about it. Spuffy kissage, Buffy lusting for Spike, Spike being adorably nervous about their date, and Spike being so thoughtful and romantic *dreamy sigh* The picnic Spike arranged was very swoony. He's such a romantic li'l devil heehee

It's hard to pick favorite lines, but I can't list all my favorite bits cos this would turn into history's longest review lol  So here are just a couple of mine:

*'Ha! Told you,' Buffy's Slayer was purring with contentment. ' He gets us more horny with a single kiss than Riley could with his whole body AND with his dick inside us! Remind me again, why you made us both suffer through sex with that loser, when we could have had Spike?! Idiot!'

heehee  I declare Buffy's inner-voice to be awesome!

*A man who wore his heart so proudly on his sleeve, he'd nearly bled to death, for her. 'What exactly did I do to deserve him?' Buffy couldn't help but wonder.

It's so true that Spike always wore his heart on his sleeve. And of course I love hearing Buffy acknowledge how special he is ^_^

To sum up:  Loved the chapter! :D  Great job, sweetie!



Author's Response: Hey ya, PB! Thank you so much for your review, PB, I really appreciate it, not to mention all the support and encouragement that you've given me. I'm really glad to hear that you liked the chapter, and that you think the date went well. I was a little worried about it, wondering how it would turn out, but everybody that's left me a review has been positive about it, so that's been encouraging. And YAY! that you were able to pick out some "favourite" lines. (Correct spelling) :-D I'm with you that Buffy's inner voice is awesome. Maybe, between myself and her, we'll be able to get some sense into Buffy. D'you think that'll be possible? :-) Really pleased to hear that you loved it, PB. That means a great deal to me, really.

And poor Spikey, still worrying about Buffy not liking what he'd done ... glad she did! She'd be a fool not to! I look forward to the time when Buffy lets her inner-voices loose, but I understand taking it slow ... she's doing better than I would in her place! haha!

Wow, Xander's a total psycho asshole! We're used to him being mean to and insulting Spike, but his inner-ugliness is really starting to show now. I feel so bad for Anya :( She deserves better than a guy who considers her a consolation prize.

I very much enjoyed Spike's taunts at Xander, but I had a bad feeling about what Xander intended to do. And Spike making him madder wasn't helping! lol But that's our Spike - he said whatever he wanted to, never worrying about consequences. I'd laugh at what Spike said and then get nervous again about how Xander would react :O lol

I was so relieved when Dawn, Tara and Willow came in *phew!* lol If they hadn't come in when they did, I didn't see that scene ending well for Spike!

Loved the ending! I can't wait until Dawn plays the tape back :D That ain't gonna be good for Xander! heehee

I liked writing Spike taunting Xander, it was just s easy, y'know? But I also couldn't help putting in the fact that even with Xander's hate and contempt, Spike still stood up for Buffy, Joyce and Dawn, and showed that he really loved them, no matter what Xander said. At least, that was what I was hoping for! :-) Hopefully people will pick up on it. Right, well, once again, thanks for stopping by, PB and sharing your thoughts with me.

Poor Xander.

Even in the tv series Xander did so little to earn Buffy's love, rarely truly fought by her side on the battlefield.

I really cared about his character during the early seasons of BtVS(outside of S1, Ep. 6).  He was so sweet during those years.   It was awful, watching him devolve into a one note character by the end of the series.  It was painful to watch him on the series, for me.

Anya would be so much better off with Giles, in my opinion.   She has a thousand plus years worth of demon knowledge, actually been at so many places in the world during piviotal moments.    Giles would love to learn it and appreciate it totally.  

 

I really enjoy your story I hope more will be posted real soon.

 

BTW  I never could figure out why the show writers and producers gave Xander a free pass on trying to rape Buffy in Season 1 in the Pack and Giles let him get away with it.    Then years later when the incident happen with Spike they were so totally unforgiving.



Author's Response: Hi, Valerie. Thanks very much for dropping in and telling me what you thought. I truly appreciate it. I'm happy to hear that you like my story, and I promise to try and update soon, real life has an awful habit of interfering in my writing and such! As for Xander... hhmmm, the less I say about the guy, I think the better. I just never really liked his character, always thought about his double standards, which were exacerbated when Spike came along, and his prejudicial outlook. All in all, not a fan, and don't get me started on the rape thing! GGGRRRRRRR!! Anyway, once again, thanks for your review and thoughts, Valerie, I appreciate them very much. Take care. X

Hot diggity damn!!! That was great!!! I cannot wait until everyone watches that!!! In my opinion Xander always did have a thing for Buffy. That's why no one was ever good enough for her. And why he hated Spike so very much. Jealously is not pretty on Alexander LaVelle Harris.

Anya is going to boil Xander's fun parts in oil, eviserate him, chop his balls off then feed them to him before she kills him. But only if she gets to him before Buffy and Joyce!!!!!!

Hopefully they get to watch it before Xander does something to Spike. Or worse before he convinces Buffy, Dawn and Joyce to hate Spike. I could see the little shit setting Spike up for something like a dead girl. Just to get him tossed out of the Summers life. And possibly staked by Buffy.
