**AN** Thank oh so very much to all that have read this story. As I noted in the first chapter, this was an experimental story to get my muse going. Thanks in part to all of the wonderful reviews, I will be continuing! As with my other fic, I will attempt to post at least once a week on each story, possibly more if the creativity kicks in! As always, reviews are very much appreciated!

Sorry this update took so long to get out, but muse has been very uncooperative as of late. Hope you guys enjoy!

7. Chapter 7 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (1862 words)
Well, I managed to get another chapter out. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it though, not sure if it has the feel I intended it to have. Hey, but feel free to let me know what you guys think!! LOL, reviews please. Thanks again to all of my readers, love hearing from you guys.

Thanks to everyone that has reviewes. I am getting a much better response from the readers here at SR than any other site and I truly apprectiate it! Hope you guys like this installment, it is Buffy the morning after. Next chapter will be Spikes!

Also, thank you so very much to whomever nominated me at LSA. I would never imagine that I would be nominated for anything! Thanks!!!!!!!

9. Chapter 9 by serenity [Reviews - 9] (1504 words)
Thank you so much to everyone who has left reviews. This story is getting so much more response than on AFF and it really gets muse a kicking.

I know alot of you are eager to find out what Buffy's letter to Willow and Xander said, but I just couldn't get that chapter out tonight. I should have it up by midweek if all goes well.

Thanks again!!!

Thank you...thank you...thank you for all of the fantastic reviews.

11. Chapter 11 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (1107 words)
**A/N** I have to apologize not only for this update being so short, but also for taking so long to get it out. My muse has been sluggish as of late and whatever creativity I have had, has been focused on finishing Breathless.


Hope everyone who reads this will enjoy. Please, leave a comment to let me know what you guys think!**

12. Chapter 12 by serenity [Reviews - 15] (1348 words)
**A/N** I want to apologize for taking so long to update on this story. There have been some real crappy things going on in RL as of late and my concetration levels are shot. Not to mention that I really want to finish Breathless soon, so I have been spending a great deal of time on it.

Hopefully, this chapter will make up for all the waiting. Remember, a great deal of this story will be dedicated to Spike with excerpts dedicated to Buffy. That is, until they finally make their way back to one another. As always, read...review...and most of all, ENJOY!

13. Chapter 13 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (1437 words)
Thank you so very much to everyone who reviewed on my last chapter. I know I probably upset many of you with my B/F pairing, but I hope this chapter will make everything better.

14. Chapter 14 by serenity [Reviews - 14] (1549 words)
Thanks so very much for all of the wonderful reviews! Two chapters in two days...that's what happens when Muse likes all the attention she's been getting!

15. Chapter 15 by serenity [Reviews - 14] (1626 words)
Thanks for all of the fantastic reviews! Hope everyone enjoys my latest installment. Finally, some Spuffy lovin! As always, puh-lease review!

Aslo, to Gillypod, hope the wait wasn't too painful babes!

16. Chapter 16 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (2095 words)
Ok, so the muse decided to show up tonight. **WARNING** there is some Dru/Spike interaction inside this chapter. It is short and almost painless, promise, but I have had some requests so I decided to grant them. Please don't be mad, you will be rewarded with Spuffy goodness! Please review. I hate to beg for them, but hey...it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when you guys comment on my stories! Thanks!

17. Chapter 17 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (1575 words)
Buffy's usual not so pleasant morning after. Please review!

18. Chapter 18 by serenity [Reviews - 13] (1907 words)
Sorry this chapter took so bloody long to post, but it was a bitch and a half to write. Honestly took me 4 days of piddling around with it to reach a stopping point. Anyway, hope you all like it even though it's really just a go between chapter. Please review, maybe muse will show up soon. BTW...I will be out of town next week on a lovely beach vacation so there will most likely not be any updates unless my little sister's laptop gets fixed before we go. Also, I am starting a new fic and should post it this weekend sometime. There is still a good bit of polishing to do as well as finding a title. If it's not posted by Sunday morning, I will have put it up when I get back in 2 weeks. TTFN!!!

19. Chapter 19 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (2055 words)
Ok, here it is! Hope you guys like it since I horribly made you all wait nearly two weeks for an update. Thanks again to everyone who read and reviewed the last chapter!

20. Chapter 20 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (2727 words)
Well aren't you guys lucky? Since I got so many wonderful reviews this week, Muse brought her A game tonight and churned out a dandy chapter if I say so myself. **SMUT** Please read and enjoy and let me know what you think!!!

21. Chapter 21 by serenity [Reviews - 15] (1526 words)
Some SMUT to get everyone through the weekend. No plot at all and I am sorry, but I was really busy at work with dead people and whatnot, so I really couldn't put a lot of thought into the story. Hope that's ok for you guys. Nasty lil cliffhanger, though! Thanks so much for the reviews on the last chapter, they made me so happy! I won't be able to write until next week, possibly Thursday due to houseguests. Since I won't be able to, I wanted to at least put up one fun filled chapter to hold you guys over! Thanks again and let me know what you think!

22. Chapter 22 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (1975 words)
Hey guys, so sorry this has taken so very long to get out. I actually started working on this last week and was only able to get around 500 words in 4days! Damn Muse was being difficult.

I hope you like this update. I'm not too sure about it, but if I don't post it this story will never get done because I am going to go mad. Please be kind and let me know! :) Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!

23. Chapter 23 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (1769 words)
Ok guys, have a little bit of smut with one of my usual cliffhangers at the end. Hope you like, sorry it took so long to get out. As always, be kind....review! Also, as I stated on my other fic, anyone interested in making a banner for either this fic or FP? Pretty puh-lease?

24. Chapter 24 by serenity [Reviews - 14] (1345 words)
Thank you so much for all of the outstanding reviews you guys have flooded me with over this story. I am totally amazed everyday when I see how many I have gotten. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

This chapter is fairly short, but quite interesting if I must say so. Lots of plot for all you plot lovers. Sorry, no smut, but you know I won't leave it out for too long.

As always, please enjoy and feel free to let me know what you think. Also, not betad, so be kind. LOVE YOU GUYS!

25. Chapter 25 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (1905 words)
Thanks so much for all the comments! You guys made me smile so much with all of the wonderful reviews that were left. Hope you guys like this one!

26. Chapter 26 by serenity [Reviews - 12] (2218 words)
Holy Frijoles! Thank you so much for all of the totally freakin awesome reviews! Hope you guys like this one, had to cut it off in a weird place because there is no way I could finish before leaving work. Oh and to anyone in the South...WAR EAGLE! My boys are starting to play football and not run around with certain members of their anatomy in their hands instead! LOL!

27. Chapter 27 by serenity [Reviews - 11] (2878 words)
I know, you guys have probably given up on me completely as far as this story goes, right? Well, don't do that just yet. Shocker of shockers, here's an interesting update. It has not been beta-d! Not even remotely! So, if you see a mistake, please let me know. Otherwise, hope you all enjoy and please, let me know what you think. Trying to move things along with this one!

28. Chapter 28 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (1968 words)
I know. It's way overdue and I probably lost several readers interest because of my tardiness. I am so sorry, but it has literally taken weeks to get enough motivation to write this chapter. Although I am not one hundred percent happy with it, I fear that if I do not post it all hope will be lost for this story. Which is seriously something I do not want to happen because as much as I have pulled my hair in frustration lately, I do still love this story and have no desire to leave it unfinished. Really, I couldn't do that to my wonderful readers.

That said, I fully intend to get back on the bandwagon for this fic and not even think about starting a new one until it's finished. The ending is all planned out and not that far away in the future, if muse sticks around.

I do hope that there are some of you guys still interested and somewhat pleased with what I have posted. There's some plot, a new character introduction and some gratuitous smut. (I know you guys hate that!)

Anyway, I am about to get off work and head out for some needed R & R! Please let me know what you think, maybe that will spur Muse on.

29. Chapter 29 by serenity [Reviews - 8] (1351 words)
Surprise, surprise, surprise! Bet some of you guys were wondering if I had fallen off the earth. Nope, still here, floating around and reading all the great stories that are out there in hopes of motivation. Finally, thanks to a very encouraging manip from the lovely Sotia (who politely begged for an update), I was able to sit down and churn out this chapter. It is rather short and I apologize, but at least it's something, right? Hope you guys are still with me, there's not too much left to go, only a few more chapters. Thanks so very much for all the wonderful reviews on the last chapter!

30. Chapter 30 by serenity [Reviews - 9] (2812 words)
Look! Two chapters in one month, wonders never cease to exist! Ok, thanks again to Sotia for the never wavering support that encouraged my muse to show up. Also, many thanks to the few readers who are still out there and still making with the reviews! I know I have lost a great deal of readers by taking so long to update and I sincerely hope that this chapter will suck you back in. I think it's pretty darn good. Lastly, I wanted to say that there are two chapters left, and maybe an epi for clarification. As I stated numerous times, I never intend to leave a WIP (just plain annoying if you ask me). The rest of the story will jump around quite a bit, you may be confused, but all with be explained in the end. Just trust me. It will also be very dark and angsty! You have been warned! This ending will be nothing like my other stories! However, I am toying with the idea of a sequel, if interested. Just let me know! Ok, enough rambling, on with the show....

31. Chapter 31 by serenity [Reviews - 9] (3194 words)
Well, here it is...the big fight. Now, I know that the added warning of Character Death had some of you worried, but please, stick it out. As always, thank you for all of the wonderful reviews and please, be kind...let me know what you think of this one. I'm uber nervous about it. And, Sotia...please stop banging your head against the desk...it's not good for you! LoL! Thanks again!!!

32. Chapter 32 by serenity [Reviews - 10] (2423 words)
Here it is...the next to last chapter. Hope this clears up most of your questions, there are still a few things to explain but that will come in the final chappie. Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews to those of you who are still with me. It means the world to me that some of you are still reading. Thanks again!

33. Chapter 33 by serenity [Reviews - 15] (2356 words)
Well, here you go guys...the final chapter. Hope you like it! Thank you so much to all of you who read and reviewed, you have no idea how happy your comments made me. Also, a very special thanks to Gillypod, who encouraged me to write this story! Thanks, babe!
