Yet another twist! Great story - can't wait for more :)

Author's Response: Yes, I love twists! thanks Luv Spuf

OH WOW You cant leave it hanging like this. You have to update sooner and more often. I cant stand waiting for the next chapter. Thanks for a great story.

Author's Response: I'm writing the next chapter, now. Thanks, luv, spuf

God,I really LOVE your fics,you're so bloody talented!!! They have great characterisation of Buffy and Spike, they're intriguing and a bitt funny,also angsty (gotta love good old angst!) and cute (but not so cute that you want to barf!).But the best of all is that they are LONG! If writer wants his/her story to be good, It has to have a decent plot line, which is constantly revealing more and more layers, but to accomplish that, good author needs time and you obviously take your time! Good for you [and for us;)]! I mean, If the fic has less than 20 chapters, It's no fun. Well, It's fun, but a short-time fun, right? Oh, God, I forgot that I was supposed to review the story, not to bubble! Well,here It goes: gotta worship the idea that all guys of Buffy are allied with Evil (where's Parker,btw?) and that the central character (beside Spuffy), that still affects people around, is dead! After hints you were giving, many things weren't so surprising but I almost fell when I read about our favourite couple being married! That was bloody brilliant idea, and If you think about their decision, It really makes sense (you know: to start new life, together, for real.). Beside, usually Spuffy-stories end with a happy wedding, and I think It's great to see how their lives change and all, after that one moment. Though It doesn' t always "lead to hugs and puppies", this is the point, right? It's a real life, with all the problems that people that love each other can have...yada yada yada! At the end I have to add that I found that line about Nick Charles and the ‘Thin Man’ extremely funny, sweet and appropriate! This movie is SO adorable (other movies about "Thin Man" with Nick and Nora too). Well, thanks for writing this story, can't wait to read next looong and maaany chapters (hint,hint!) ;)))

Author's Response: Well...thanks! Gosh! Actually I was writing this fic as a 'novel' format, at first. After I got back into writing fan fiction again, I thought that the two main characters would be perfect as Buffy and Spike! The truth is, in the 'nove' format? Buffy was supposed to end up with her police partner (yes, Xander's character) but since I'm a Spuffy lover, I changed the 'bad boy' into a hero and had Spike and Buffy end up together. I love The Thin Man Series! Loved William Powell and Myrn Loy and loved Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell together. I just thought that Spike and Buffy are so classy and sophisticated, like Nick and Nora and since they were married in the movies and had a dog, I gave our Spuffy a dog too. Thank you. Luv, Spuf

Another Great Chapter. Just love the way you tie everything together. Please update soon and often.

Author's Response: Thank you. Luv, Spuf

Oh that’s right. This is a good theory!

Author's Response: I heard that a long time ago. Thanks Luv,Spuf

Another great chapter. I think I have an idea about the murder, but I am not telling. It's somebody who wasn't in the last chapters, but more often in the beginning. Please update!

Author's Response: Thank you. I think you might be onto something about the actual killer. Luv, spuf

lol, I love the jealousy Spike has over a puppy! It's very cute :D As for the mystery, I'm sitting tight to wait and see!

Author's Response: I love jealous Spike (if it doesn't go too far that is!). I'm trying to make the unraveling of the murder mystery as realistic as possible. It's difficult, believe me! Thanks, Luv, Spuf

You're just so sneaky and clever! You rock at mysteries, I can't say it enough:) I still think it's Andrew, and I'm so happy I pegged the pregnancy thing- makes me feel like I'm an amateur sleuth or something

Author's Response: Thank you. Yes, Katerina was pregnant. I hesitated to put that in there, didn't want to seem too macabre. But it upped the ante on who the murderer might be and why. It may not be who you think it is. Luv, Spuf

From the beginning I thought arren Meers would be the killer. Is it him. Good story

Author's Response: Hmmm, maybe, maybe not??? Thanks, Luv Spuf

Just wanted to say this is another great story from a great author! I absolutely loved Make Her Own Way and so far I really like this fic too. Great update, and I can't wait to see what happens next! :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy my writing! Luv, Spuf

I've read studies on it too, the female suicide thing, jsut like womens number one choice of murder 'weapon' is poison, or so i read. Which is interesting. Gender psychology is neat. Can i guess the killer? well i guessed a long time ago it was Warren, but im not sure if i was supposed to think that only to have it be angel or something Anyway, great job. take care

Author's Response: You may be right, then again???? Thanks, Luv, Spuf

very interesting! I can't wait until Buffy tells Spike about her concerns with moving to England with him! I don't think I caught anything, but did they even talk about it before he assumed she would? hmmm...anyway, cant wait for more!

Author's Response: No, they never really talked about it. This was such an impulsive move on Buffy's part and now she's going to have to face the consequences of her actions. However, consider this...if Spike stayed in Sunnydale, permenantly? How long until his family considered him the new Holden of that town? Actually, it would be better in the long run, if Buffy left with him and lived in England, but we'll see. Thanks, Luv, Spuf

Great Chapter. Enjoyed the Puppy mastiff Cant wait to see what you do with the pup. You definately did a great job describing the mastiff size and temperment. Glad to see William got the pup from a reputable breeder. Thanks for a great story and a great chapter. update soon and often.

Author's Response: Thank you for your suggestion. I thought this would a great dog for Spike and Buffy, especially since I believe this was the breed in Turner and Hooch? Luv, Spuf
