Aw, so cute! I forsee some snappage in the future, where they finally just loose their minds from the UST...
Author's Response: And then they both went insane and lost all ability to copulate. The end...
Okay, you guys would kill me for that. I can promise that the story WON'T end that way. Anything other than that is fair game. ;-) I'm glad you're liking it inspite of the insane UST. Thanks for reviewing!

Oh dear. Giles done gone and got himself in trouble. *tsk tsk* And I'm really aching for Buffy and Spike...come on guys!! Get your act together!!

Oh dear, poor Giles. And when are Buffy and Spike going to sit down and have themselves a little heart-to-heart? Honestly. Even Meret is getting fed up with their ridiculousness!
Author's Response: I'm getting there... Slowly... ;-) Thanks for the review!

Dammit Buffy!! You're ruining my moments! Get with the Spike lovin' woman!
But points for Meret, though Dawn deserved a good nip.
Author's Response: Hee! All in good time. I think I have underutilized Meret's mad biting skillz. Maybe I'll rectify that. Thanks!

I really like your characterization of Willow, and Spike's distrust of her. It's original and very true to life. Great update, can't wait for the rest of this.
Author's Response: She got off too easily, even before she skinned Warren. Thanks for the review!

oh no! Meret! She'll be fine, I believe. I hope Buffy's OK though...and understanding. it would really suck if this put a damper on their fledgling relationship...

And the plot thickens. Glad Meret is finally pulling her weight around here ;) I really do like her, do you have any extras lying around?
See, here's the thing...YOU wouldn't do anything to put a damper on their relationship, but THEY totally would. Stupid ignorent people who don't know what's good for them..
Author's Response: I've been thinking of making myself a stuffed animal of her. Does that count?
And yeah, those two are all about coming up with new and interestinf road blocks. I'll see what i can do about that. ;-)

With a story like this, you can't dissapoint! It's awesome, I can't wait to see how they're going to take her down...and I LOVE your portrayla of the God's! Very unique! Can I please put in a request for some Spike-God drunkeness? I think that could be quite amusing...
Author's Response: I figured they couldn't all be as neurotic as Glory. ;-) Spike-God drunkeness, whoo, dunno, we'll see. Thanks!

Yummy shopping therapy. And I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll get to use that pretty formal dress sometime in the near future :D

Ha, nice twist ending. Me thinks you need an epilogue/sequle though!
Summary: Set many years in the future, Buffy and Spike are together and Buffy has reached a "certain age." Spike and Buffy have a daughter (long story) and she has convinced them to take her trick-or-treating for Halloween in California. Seasonal references galore!! Also some friendly Spuffiness.
