Interesting little hints you.....but I think the one thing Buffy needs to realize is she does love Spike, and it's okay. Love can make a bad man good, or a demon want to change.......

Author's Response: Oh good! I'm glad you're pointing that out because yes, that's the theme. I just added a twist by Buffy being Buffy and going into denial. Eventually she'll get it! Thanks for the review!

Insatiable little lust bunnies. Have to say, that was a pretty hot start to your writing of sex scenes. But I really love the way you've handled the whole Dawn/Joyce relationship with both Buffy and Spike. And Xander screaming like a girl, Priceless. :)

Author's Response: I might have to use that phrase, lol. I'm glad you like the whole Dawn/Joyce attitude towards them :) Thanks for the review!!

I loved it - believe me we don't all need every little detail spelled out with "nonclinical" words to describe body parts - if I want mega smut - my mind can produce it just fine. I thought the scene was VERY HOT and VERY SWEET (looks like you have to stay and write another one before the end of the tale). Can't wait for the next update. Thanks for being brave and sharing the tale and the sexy scene!

Author's Response: Aw thanks! Yea, you make a good point, but I'll also be trying to work up more nerve for a few more details. I don't ever want to write smut that's useless to the storyline, so I'll be trying to keep a balance. I think I do need another one also, lol. Not a problem now ;) Thanks for the review!!

I know exactly how you feel about the Writing of The First Sex Scene. I was beyond nervous, but it went over well where I posted it. And yours is hot! Have no fear! You can breathe easy because I have you given you my seal of approval *hands over seal* Put it on your wall and enjoy it everyday! It's shiny too! Anyhoo, great chapter! Update soon!

Author's Response: I'm glad so many people understand where I'm coming from. It's not even like I have a problem reading sex scenes but the writing for the first time is strangely hard. Or maybe just the first step to start...I'm glad you approve! Thanks for the review!!

i liked it and i loved the way it was written so no runing away for u =P lol

Author's Response: lol, thanks for the review!

Your metally training did work out for the N17. It's was good. *smile* And I wish Buffy (from the series) would have spoken to her Scoobies like Spike does to Xander.

Author's Response: Thanks :D And Spike is much braver in what he says anyway ~ I just had him hold back before because he was supposed to be in Buffy's role. Thanks for the review!!

LOL- don't worry, I LOVED the entire chapter, I just worded that weird. What I meant was- I loved the first part of the chapter where they were acting like teenagers- but then I realized that they acted that way throughout the entire chapter, so I added 'most'. See what I mean? My problem is, I write the way I talk...which is confusing LOL! Talk to you soon :-)

Author's Response: Oh. lol. Well, you know how I'm paranoid! Glad you liked it! haha ~ thanks again!

You did very well with the sex scene:) I think it really is a matter of being comfortable with writing them, which doesn't always come easily. I loved Dawn and Joyce in the beginning, and the gratuitous Spuffyness was perfect!

Author's Response: Thanks! Yea, you know my dilemma since we've talked about it before. But I sucked it up and did it, and I was amazingly unphased when I wrote it yesterday, so that's always helpful. Now I feel like a big weight is off my shoulders ~ not to mention, braver for the next one ;) Thanks for the review!

great sex scene and i congratulate u on your braveness to write it! it was perfect the way it was and i loved it!! cant wait for your next chapter!!

Author's Response: Thanks :D I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the review!!

It was a good first sex scene. Half of the sex scene is the plot before hand. To me it's like fanfic foreplay. You're right. It could have been more detailed or graphic and maybe you'll write them that way someday. But you write amazing UST and implied sex, so there is nothing wrong with a more tame sex scene. I would imagine practive would help you fell more comfortable (hint, hint). So practice on us as much as you need. :)

Author's Response: You help reinforce some good points. I didn't think it was tame, but definitely way tamer than it COULD have been, lol. I thought it was a big jump from what I had them do the first time and I was proud for that fact. Hopefully, I keep getting braver and improve the details ;) I'm glad you think I have an UST factor in there though, because I don't want to be writing empty sex scenes...And about the practice, I'm not sure about this fic, but one of my upcoming ideas will definitely have lots of practice in store ;) Thanks for the constructive review!!

Very good chapter and I liked the sex scene too. I hope there will be a little bloodplay too in the future.

Author's Response: Thanks! And if I don't change my mind, there will be a little ;) Though all sex scenes and bloodplay have to mean something...you'll see ;) Thanks for the review!!

I thought the sex scene was perfect! I love your long chapters. I'm nervous though, worried about those two 'other' beings that did not show up in this chapter. I have know idea who they are, but I'm thinking they are 'not' of the Spike/Buffy friendly. Luv, Spuf

Author's Response: Thanks! And yea, I sort of am writing this Spuffy stuff with a sense of oncoming doom, lol. As for the people, one of their names was revealed in chapter 18 ;) [Leanna's now-burnt away page] Thanks for the review!!
