Oh, I've missed this story! Such a hard situation for these two---I do sympathize with Spike, he's trying to do the right thing, when he's so confused. They're both right about their negative feelings about the other, they have a whole mess of confusion to work through before they can be together. Loved it, more please!

Author's Response: Thank you for hanging in there!! A new chapter should be up soon.

Summary: COMPLETEDBuffy joins the military and heads off to Basic Training. The Boot Camp experience can be rough enough to endure, but there’s something, or rather someone that will make her time spent becoming a soldier ten times worse - a Drill Sergeant sent straight from the bowels of hell that takes an instant dislike to her mere presence............. Spike. He’s evil, he’s mean, he hates her but even worse... he lusts for her. This is not a military fic or even a fic about the military. The Army serves only as the backdrop-setting to the story, so don’t shy away from reading. Winner of Best Fantasy at Love’s Last Glimpse Awards, round 19. Spuffy Awards Round 13: Judges Choice; Most Original Plot, Best Fantasy Saga. Readers Choice: Best Fantasy We Missed the Bed Again. Judges hand picked for special acknowledgment.

I just finished this fic, and really truly enjoyed it. Not only was the writing great, but I feel like you really maintained the same dynamic that Buffy and Spike have on the show, a battle of power, which is what is a lot of AU fan fics are missing. I absolutely loved it!

Author's Response: Fantastic - I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed IAN. I adore their battle of wills on the show, both with their strong personalities. THank you so much sweety for the review - hugs.

Summary:
Alternate reality. Buffy starts as a normal college girl. But her life is slowly turned upside down beginning with the day she’s unexpectedly in danger. Hired by chance to protect her is Spike, a vampire with a reputation for doing business with anyone for enough money. She’s less than thrilled, but finds herself drawn to him even as she realizes he’s more than he seems. But humans aren’t the only ones after her, and when she’s called as the Slayer, her whole world changes. Things with Spike, who she’s discovered some realities about, are no longer as simple as they seemed. But being sent to the Hellmouth and realizing the high death rate of her calling, Buffy hires Spike as backup with the only thing she has left—Slayer blood. Winner of 20 awards!

I am loving this story so, so much. You've got a really creative universe going on here, unlike anything I've ever read. I am addicted and desperate for updates!

Oh Angelus, such a delicious bastard most of the time. I really love the way you've twisted the Fanged Four's past history to still make sense, with little bits of canon in there, but it's entirely new and unique and exciting! Can't wait for more.

Loved it. Looooove this story as a whole, really, and can't wait to see where you take it. Glad Spike isn't going easy on her, it'll take time and a lot of beatings for her to become the Slayer she needs to be. Great update!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Yes, Buffy has her work cut out for her, but she'll get there. Glad you're enjoying, and thanks for reviewing!

Oooh love it, as always. Loved the bickering over the killing of slayers, ah boys and their machismo. Silly Buffy all pouty that there wasn't a big fight off the bat yet. Great, great set up in this chapter, can't wait for the final confrontation, and of course, for the eventual Spuffy. But I'm patient, I can definitely wait. Loved it, great job!

Author's Response: Yep, Spike and Angelus always have a rivalry, whether they hate each other or, well, hate each other. :) And the Spuffy will be slowly growing... Thanks for reviewing!

Oh! Oh! My heart stopped. Not good, not good at all. Not that I'm crying over Riley or anything, but Buffy's rose colored glasses about Spike's true nature are definitely going to be smashed to bits when she finds out what happened, even if Spike was just trying to defend himself. Can't wait for more!

23 year-old Buffy has to spend her summer with her teenage cousin Xander and his cousin Will... who's no longer the shy boy she remembers. Or is he?--------------------------------COMPLETE

Note:
Although this started as a 'Romance' it would now better fit the Porn With Plot category (if there was one)... I guess that can be expected when Spike is a teenage hormone bomb!

***Nominated at the Cradle Of Humanity Awards in the Best W.I.P category.

Winner of 'Judge's Choice - THE ECSTASY AWARD' at the Forbidden Awards', Runner Up Best AU at the Indigo Crypt Awards, and Reader's Choice - BEST FANTASY 'WE MISSED THE BED AGAIN' at the Spuffy Awards! ***YAYYYYYY *does happy dance* Thank you Carrie and xenachakram12 (lj), you rock!

Can't wait to find out what the birthday shenanigans will be...and I'm up for some angst. Bring. It. ON! Great chapter, Sotial!

Oh, Buffy Buffy. You're older, don't you have any sense? People always try to keep their surprises secret and it always comes off as them hiding something really bad, or being mad. Poor Spike. I hope she makes it up to him in a big, big way, because no one deserves to be sad on their birthday!

Author's Response: You're right honey, and she will have to make it up to him! ;-) As for Buffy having sense... we all know her sense is outside normal logic (hello, Spike all over her and her sleeping with Riley on BTVS? lol)
Hope you like how she makes it up to him, *hugs*

Ooh, I'm intrigued. I hope Buffy's idea is a good one, and it doesn't end up hurting Spike more or betraying his trust.

Damn. They're all cute and happy and ready for their date but of course, people just have to try and ruin it for them don't they? I like that Xander is (grudingly) accepting the relationship, for now, instead of flying off the handle totally. And I'm very curious as to what's going to happen with Drusilla, and Ethan, I'm guessing, not being quite as dead as we'd all hoped. Looking forward to more!
