What can I say, except for "Wowzers!" @_@ heehee  That was brilliant!  Very sensual, and verrrry hot :P  I couldn't be more proud! *hugs*  You're absolutely sure this is your first story?  Seems like you've been writing Spuffy goodness for a long time :DI'm really looking forward to Buffy and the flesh-and-blood Spike having some alone-time ;P

Author's Response: Hey, PB! You have no idea how good that makes me feel, that I've done you proud. Picture me smiling! Heehee. And as for me being a first timer, I can promise you, this was another one of those chapters that I was worried about. I didn't know how it would turn out, but in the end I'm fairly pleased with it. I can promise you, things will get 'better' between them, we've just got to get there. Heehee. Right, I thank you once again for your kind words, and for you taking the time to leave me such a positive review. Take care, PB. X

It was almost like I could see it, and what I saw was so hot. That was great.

Author's Response: Thanks Magnus! I'm happy to hear that you liked it. I'm quite happy with it as well, I think that it turned out quite well. Heehee. Thanks once again.

I second A4S' 'Phew' and add a 'GUH' to go with it! Can't wait for Spike to take the place of Fantasy-Spike. Heal, Spike! Heal fast! :D Awesome, DH!

Author's Response: Hi P4S. Heehee, I'm thinking that the chapter was OK, right? Fantasy Spike did a good job, didn't he? Spike will get better, I promise, and good things will happen... it's just a case of when the good things occur. >;-) Thanks again, glad you liked it. X

So many good things in this chapter. Good and friendly interaction. Everyone got to know how intelligent Spike is. He got thanked for the things he has done. Buffy had some naughty fantasies.
I got a bit worried that Xander has done something in the crypt. I got that thought when I read the ending.

Author's Response: Hi, Magnus. Thanks for your input, I'm really glad you liked the chapter. I wanted to write something a little light, and that was the result. As for Xander, I'm not gonna say, you'll just have to wait and see. >;) Thanks for the review.

There was so much to love about this chapter. You included many of the things I'd hoped you would :D Flirty/affectionate/cuddly/romantic Spuffy, Buffy craving Spike and having naughty fantasies about him, Spike being smarter than he was ever given credit for (by the other characters and most of the writers), Joyce being very cool and accepting of her daughter's new relationship, Buffy being protective of Spike at the restaurant, and her friends being nice to Spike ^_^ You also made me hungry for Chinese food, btw lol<br><br> It was sweet, funny, and so well-written. Can't wait for the next chapter! I love reading stuff that makes me smile the whole time =D heehee Great job, hon!

Author's Response: Hi, PB! Thanks very much for your kind words, I'm really pleased that you liked what I did with the chapter. You certainly had a long list of things that you liked, which is brilliant. I'm glad that I can make you smile, after all, you're the one that got me started, so I owe you a huge thank-you, not only for that, but also for the help, encouragement and support that you've given me. Not to mention those beautiful banners you made for me. Truly and sincerely... Thank you, PB. You're wonderful.

There was a ton about this chapter that I just LOVED. You had me choking up a couple of times, then you brought the steam in, and finally you had Buffy standing up for Spike, showing him affection in front of everyone! Out of all of it, I think this line is my very favorite, though: "She could almost hear herself screaming in pleasure as Spike broke her body, then, with a gentleness and love she hoped she could be worthy of, he put her back together again." That sort of covers everything from the steam to the choking up with emotion. :) You're doing so well, Dark Heart! Hard to believe it's your first story. I certainly hope it's not your last! {hugs}

Author's Response: Hey, P4S! Well, thanks for taking the time to review, it means a lot, and thanks for all your wonderful help, without you, I doubt this would be half the story that it is! I'm glad you liked the chapter, and that you could pick out a favourite line. I truly thank you for the compliment, and all your help that you've given me. I hope you know how much I appreciate everything that you've done for me. Thanks again, P4S.

Xander has always had a crush on Buffy. Almost an obsession with her. Part of me hopes he's been possessed and that is the reason for this behavior. But another part of me thinks this has always been there. We saw it in season 6 Entropy. He always wants what he doesn't have and never appreciates what he does have.

It bothered me that Anya, as much as I like her, was forgiven for her crimes the moment she became human. She never experienced a moment of regret for what she had done until the frat house in season 7. But over a 1,000 years of death, pain and maiming and snap! It's forgotten by everyone because she's human. Those souls really are magic aren't they?!

I always thought Xander was willing to pretend Anya's past didn't exist because he was using her as a nice excuse to make Buffy jealous. It didn't work and he found himself trapped in a relationship with Anya until he finally bailed on her at the wedding.

After this outburst though I can't see Anya staying in the relationship much longer. She deserves so much better.



Author's Response: Hello Ginar. Thanks for your thoughts and comments, I totally agree with the whole soul thing, they really are an amazing commodity! So glad I did absolutely nothing to gain one at birth! : ) As for Xander, I really don't want to spoil anything that's gonna be coming up, but I will say that I agreed with everything you said about him, especially the whole making Buffy jealous thing, and having it backfire on him when he found out she was just happy for him. In case you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan of him! I don't want to comment too much on some of the things you've raised as, like I said, I don't want to spoil anything for you, but I want you to know I truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me, and it's kinda cool that You're thinking about something I've written. As a first timer, that's really quite gratifying, so I really do thank you. And thank you for sticking with me, I seemed to have developed a small group that insist on reviewing whenever I update, which, for me, is brilliant! Thanks again for taking the time to leave me your thoughts, it means a lot. Take care. X

Author's Response: Hi A4S! I have to thank you again for following this story of mine. As my first venture into writing, it means a lot that people will share their thoughts with me about what I've written. I'm glad you liked the chapter, and in answer to your possible question, no, I don't think we've heard the last of this from Xander. You can't really expect him to accept Buffy's choices, can you? After all, he knows what's best for Buffy, even if she doesn't! : ) Thanks again for sticking with me, and leaving me some nice, positive comments. I really do appreciate them. Take care. X

In a way it was good that Xander was so aggresive. That made everyone else want to act differently. He did seem a bit too aggresive though. Some leftover hyena spirit?

Author's Response: Hey Magnus. Thanks for the review you wrote me. It's really good to know that people are sticking with me and giving my first go at this a chance. As for Xander, I don't want to spoil things for you, so you can keep guessing, but I will say one thing, which is; Was he really too aggressive, or did he just reveal things he normally wouldn't? When pressed into a situation he didn't like, maybe it was just his true colours coming to the fore? Something to wonder about. Thanks again for taking the time to review. I truly appreciate it.

I loved how strong and supportive Joyce was. You did a great job with all the characters.  And even tho it was a tense situation, I liked the funny moments you injected into it. Anya, as always, provided some good comic relief :DI wanted to punch Xander from the second he opened his mouth lol  I liked how Giles verbally spanked Xander a few times heehee  Xander being upset that Spike was taking his place with Buffy, and his anger that she would even consider dating Spike and not him, made sense.  It was pretty clear that canon Xander had some unresolved Buffy-lust. It made me want to punch Xander even more than I did before lolBuffy standing up for Spike (and for them as a couple) to her friends is big-time wish fillfulment for me. And Buffy slapping Xander?  That was the cherry on top of the sundae :P Just when I thought it couldn't get more awesome! heehee Great chapter, and thanks for the shoutout, sweetie ^_^ *hugs*

Author's Response: Hi, PB! I'd like to say thanks very much for leaving me such a positive review. It keeps me going to know that maybe my first story isn't so bad after all! : ) I'm glad you could find things in there that you liked, and if it's any consolation, I'd like to punch Xander as well! Form an orderly line behind me, and let the beat-down commence! I've said it before, but I don't mind saying it again; I love the idea of Joyce and Spike having a friendship, so I'm gonna right that wrong, if for no other reason than my personal enjoyment! : ) And I may be sounding like a broken record, but for the life of e I can't bring myself to care when I say, first of all, thank you for the beautiful banners. I love them. And secondly, A huge thank you form the bottom of my heart for the encouragement and inspiration you've given me. This is all your doing PB, You started me on this road, and I can't thank you enough. Take care.

Oh, I love Buffy standing up for Spike! Finally seeing all the good he's done for them and not dismissing it! And sweet Tara finding her voice to stand with Buffy. Always love her. And of course Joyce, the lioness! I think we can see where Buffy got her Slayer blood from! Why am I afraid that we may not have seen or heard the last from Xander yet? The little weasel ... I wouldn't put anything past him! Buffy better keep a good eye on him. Too bad they can't actually dis-invite PEOPLE.

Great update ... can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Hi P4S. Thanks for taking the time to review, it means a lot. I'm glad you liked the update. I tried my best to present a balanced argument from Xander, but unfortunately, I think my dislike for him came through rather strongly! : ) I'm also happy you picked up on Tara and Joyce who, in my opinion, could have had a more significant role when it came to Spike. I love the idea of the three of them forming a friendship. Thanks again for the positive review. Take care. X

I loved Joyce deciding to go with Buffy to face the Scoobies, ready to give them a piece of her mind :D I'm so glad you kept Joyce alive lol Her chat with Spike was very touching, and I lol'd at the funny bits. You did a great job with including more of the characters' thoughts and feelings. I'd swear you've been writing for years if I didn't know better! I loved the bit with Buffy thinking how Spike doesn't condescend when he talks to her. That's so true! That was a very cool description of Spike sword-fighting the demon in the cemetery! I could easily see it on the TV screen in my head :) Buffy's talk with her friends should be interesting! I hope Joyce smacks Xander if he gets bitchy. But a verbal smackdown would also be satisfying heehee

Author's Response: Hey PB! : ) I'm glad I kept Joyce alive too, she gives me another point of view with which to come at the Buffy/Spike thing that the scoobies don't. And with Joyce still alive, Buffy's gonna be in a better place emotionally than she was on the show. I'm pleased you liked my attempt at delving a little deeper into the thoughts and feelings of everyone, I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I'm quite happy with it. And as for the condescension thing, it's true though, right? Angel always had this air of smug superiority about him when interacting with Buffy or the scoobs. One of the things I took an instant dislike to, regarding him. I'm glad you like the little fight scene as well, wasn't sure if it would work, and if people could 'see' it in their mind, but if you could see it, then that's brilliant. And as for the talk with Buffy's friends... I'm hoping to deliver something satisfying, and of course, can't have Joyce remain a spectator through the whole thing... dun dun duhh! : ) Thanks for the review PB, They really do mean a lot to me, and I love hearing about what you liked, and maybe what you think I could do better. Finally, THANK YOU very much for the beautiful banner, in fact, both of them. I really do love them, the first one is so perfect, what with Spike being injured and all, and the second one? With Spike's letter in the background... OMG!!! They're wonderful. Thank you. Right, I'm out. Take care PB, and thanks for the review. X

Of course, you had me all teary with Spike telling Buffy he'd understand if he wasn't worth it. {{cuddles poor Spikey}} I'm so glad she assured him that he was! Really liked this chapter, DH! {hugs}

Author's Response: HI P4S, Yeah, PB did a beautiful job on it, I really love it. I'm very pleased that you liked the chapter, especially as I was venturing into new territory for me.

Very good, the thoughts and what they say. Buffy has made up her mind and with Joyce support, she can do this.

Author's Response: Thanks Magnus. I'm glad you liked the chapter, and didn't mind that I tried something a little different. And yes, with Joyce's and Dawn's support, Buffy really does think that she can do this. She has her family, and they'll stand by her, which gives her the strength she needs.

Insecure and rambling Buffy, nicely done. Buffy is to hard on her self. The real abuse didn't start until season 6 and it wasn't that long ago he stopped being an enemy. But Buffy is always hard on her self.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus. Thanks for the review, I'm hoping you liked the chapter. Yes, Buffy is very hard on herself and yes, the real abuse started later, but as mentioned in previous chapters, Buffy wasn't all that nice to Spike leading up to the tower incident. She's just focusing on the negatives a bit too much. She'll sort it out and find a bit of balance... maybe with Spike's help...? Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, it really is appreciated, and I love hearing what everyone has to say, be it good or bad. That way I can learn. Thanks again.

Loved the chapter! It was funny, touching, and - yay, we got Spuffy kissage! And it was a damn fine kiss, too @_@

I lol'd at this sentence: “Oh shit, this was it. Now came the talking … with the words and sentences and all that crazy stuff.” I also loved the whole 'derailing the thought train' bit :D

I wanted to cuddle Spike so bad when he thought Buffy was kicking him out of the house, and when he kept trying to not let himself even hope that Buffy could care for him *cuddles*

My Spuffy lovin' heart was dancing by the end of the chapter. Cuddling Sleeping Spuffy! ^_^ heehee

Author's Response: Hey PB! X I'm happy you liked the chapter, and the kiss : ) It had to be done, you now it did! As for wanting to cuddle Spike, can you blame him for his insecurities?

The paragraph breaks are perfect. It's much easier to read now.

Nervous Buffy is a funny Buffy! She has been emotionally damaged by the men in her life so fro her to be nervous is understandable. Every guy she has cared for has let her down. Makes a girl gun shy!
