Summary: The story is set in S5, with a twist. There's no Glory, Joyce doesn't die and Dawn's not a key. Spike has info on a new baddie in town, gunning for Buffy (of course). Having Spike around it messing with Buffy's head and her friends are not helping! And to answer a friend's question, NO I will NOT be killing Joyce. Joss did it painfully enough for all of us the first time! Nominated at Cradle for Best WIP! Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!

What's with Captain America deciding to pop in for a visit? They ran out of vamp hos in Belize? Or what happened this time, in your AU?
Francly... I just want him maimed :D

Author's Response: well u have to remember s5. riley's there but it's not working! remember? LOL if u read the last of this chapter, there IS going to be some male strutting. this time, in MY story, Spike's gonna get a fare fight!! right now, Buffy and Gag Me are still together but.......starting to flatline.

Author's Response: also, thank you for reading!! *HUGS*

Date: 06/23/2008 Title: Chapter 9: Ch. 9-Aye Aye Captian!!

Sorry, I had thought this all happened after Riley got caught with the vamps. As far as I remembered Buffy only became aware of Spike's feelings after Riley left.
Ah, well... no matter... it was just a rather unpleasant surprise to find him here. And this sheds a new light on the goings on in a previous chapter when Buffy and Spike went on a date as payment for his information. So, basically she was cheating on Riley (not that I think that he doesn't deserve it or anything). That does raise the question though... what is Riley's secret that Buffy is aware of?

Author's Response: well okay, from what i remember Buffy had a vague idea in s5 while Riley was still there that Spike had feelings for her. Remember Spike coming to get her and the classic line "are you naked under there?" was uttered. yeahhhh....anyways, yeah, i can't have it lovey-dovey all the time like i want so i had to bring in some angst. and it wasn't technically a date. more like a patrol. Spike just ate along the way, lol. oh the secret is the Initiative! u didn't get that? remember, he has to keep it a secret and have everyone think that he's a TA. i was hoping it wouldn't be that vague but i really didn't want anyone to know who it was till she said his name. cuz u thought Angel didn't u?? :o) yeah, i wanted everyone to think Angel. hope i worked, lol. glad u liked it!!

Hmmm... yeah, plum forgot about the whole Initiative being secret thing (must be the exams I'm preparing for - messing with my brain they are!). I did guess Riley before you wrote his name, though, so at least I have some consolation :P.
Anyway the way you're showing him around here... loving it! Let's see how much the slayer can take before she starts losing her temper (and I mean really, not just some random nondescript crash).

Author's Response: glad u like it!! yeah, i knew it'd either be a choice between riley or angel and i'm sorry, but i'm not THAT good at writing Angel/Spike fights. i'm not that funny and inventive, lol. those things are just genius! yeah, i'm soooo gonna try to make Riley the little punk this time around. not sure how long i'm gonna keep him around though. i'm working on it! glad u liked the chapter!!

They really do song and dance a lot, don't they. Is there a part where Spike finally gets to tell his and Angelus' tale? And will there be fisticuffs?

Author's Response: LOL, yeah they do a lot of song and dance. As for Spike getting to tell her how he feels, well, I suppose its not a spoiler to tell you yes, this will be his chance. As for the O'Connor story, that's going to have to wait unfortunetly due to an unforseen set of events I have planned for next chapter. But it will come after that, I promise. Thanks for the lovely review swety - huggles.

As always a wonderful chapter with a very interesting twist at the end. That being said...

I'm sorry to hear you are passing through such rough times and all the best wishes to you so you can get through this as best you can. I wish there was more I could say, however words tend to ellude me about such things. Know that my thoughts and best wishes go with you.

Author's Response: Glad you likd it - especially that twist on the end. Honestly, just to hear you say any kind words concerning my RL situation is very helpful. Its nice to know everyone is being so understanding. Its very rough right now and I can only hope those days pass by quickly. So thank you for everything boo - luv ya.

:)))) Loved the story and the storytelling. I agree that the three of them would make interesting friends.

Author's Response: I\'m glad you liked it. :)

Summary: He really didn't know how much I loved him. I loved him so much that it hurt to think that I'd die one day and he'd be on his own, I loved him so much that without him here, my world is gone, I loved him so much that when he's not here, I'm nothing at all, I love him so much, that I'd kill myself, or anyone, I'd do anything just to hear his voice one last time. Without him, I want to die, to Hell with the rest of the world, if I can't have him I don't want to be here. I looked up at him and he gently wiped a tear from my face.My hand took hold of his while I traced his beautiful face with the other, and looking into his bluer than blue eyes, there was something different about them from what I remember. They looked more familiar, more recent and, after a moment, I realized not only was this Spike, but it was *my* Spike... "Buffy?" He said my name with such wonder that I knew without a doubt that he knows who I am. My heart swelled in my chest with overwhelming warmth and love for him. "Shut up, Xander!" I practically roared at him. "I'm not five years old! You can't tell me what to do! Okay? I'm living my life, and you know what? You are just going to have to deal with this!" I glared, letting my eyes show the fire inside.

Don't Stop by NautiBitz Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 163]
Summary: Pre-'Becoming', Buffy and Spike duke it out in a ghost town saloon. Throw in a lasso, a mechanical bull, an acid-spewing sewer beast, top-shelf whiskey and a Journey song, and the sex just writes itself...

"Get a load of you, all slay-kittenish, taking on a pubful of nasties in your Friday night best. Hunting for new bedmates, are we? So soon after the last?"

She pursed her lips and squeezed her stake, fingers itching to wipe that smirk off his face. "I asked you first."

It's so frustrating to see them gearing up for more and then have one or another of the Scoobies interrupt them. Not that I don't like it. It adds to the anticipation.

Do go on!

Summary: AU season 6, post "Flooded." After being ripped from Heaven, Buffy is unsure of herself and her duty as the Slayer, especially where a certain vampire is concerned. Try as hard as she might, Buffy is just not dealing well with life after death, the second time around. But someone is watching over her, leaving a clue that will lead to her acceptance of a happy life with the vampire that kept his promises.

I managed to do it once again - falling back on reviews. This time I had a legitimate reason - I was out of town with precious little internet access.

Anyway, another great chapter that tears at the heart strings and leaves you craving for more. I just love your writing style.

Did I mention I'm insatiable when it comes to good stories? So I'll be aching for more of this!

Author's Response: Tsk tsk Andrei. All if forgiven though, cause I know you had to be jonesing for the internet connection. Awww thanks for the love on my writing style dearest...I try.
