Summary: The holidays were supposed to be a fun-filled time full of presents and overeating, but everything went down the drain when her mother decided to extend charity to a vampire.



The second Spike gave her a challenging smirk and charmed the reason out of her mother, Buffy knew that before the end of Christmas someone would die a painful horrible death. She’d just have to make sure it wasn’t her.

Spike is right to be wary. Buffy might have the best intentions but when it comes to standing up to Xander, Willow and Giles about her personal life? She caves every single time. He right too when he said she had lots of people back home. We know Willow is working on a spell to get everyone back where they belong. But really I doubt they're trying very hard to get vamp Spike back. No one really cares about him in our Sunnydale. He is alone, no friends, no family. This place must feel like paradise. Even if Buffy had stayed a cold fish to him at least he had Emma. Going back means he loses even that.

Author's Response: He\'s doing the right thing by keeping back, although it is a slippery slope. They\'re here now, without all the outside influences, and it\'s rational for him to assume they won\'t be able to be this close once she\'s surrounded by the people she loves, people who are so important to her, and people that coincidentally hate his guts... or at least would never want him around her. They don\'t have any reason to trust him, because they haven\'t seen him like Buffy has. He\'s got the most to lose, I agree with you. But we can\'t forget that Buffy can be stubborn as hell when it comes to something/someone that matters. We\'ll see what happens! :)

Summary: Spike gets lonely in Brazil and finds a chat room. He develops an internet relationship with Ann.

Date: 03/20/2013 Title: Chapter 1: What About Now

She really is so screwed up that she can't tell when she is in love. She managed to deny it to herself so well that even Spike didn't believe she loved him. The fact that she got angry that he didn't come for her makes me laugh. Why would he? She had no right to be angry. If she really wanted him it was her turn to do the chasing. Spike chased after her for years. Now it's too late and part of me is happy she is in pain. She threw away someone who made themselves over completely to be someone she could love and she didn't see it until it was too late.

Author's Response: I have to admit, I really hate the \'self-righteous\' side of Buffy\'s personality. I know Spike wasn\'t great all the time, but neither was she. Damn straight it\'s her turn to go running after him, I think he more than earned it! Great review, thanks so much for taking the time to post, I really appreciate it xx

Summary: This tale is about Andrew Wells teaching William Pratt how to be Spike. It takes place in Season 2 and will be quite short. Though it takes place in the universe of "Yours, William" it can be read as a stand alone.

It was created in response to a bid at the Elysian Fields auction - which is still going on and is for a great cause. You can find here: http://auction.dark-solace.org/

Poor William!!! Andrew is a bit much for those of us born in the correct century. But to set him on William? That's just too cruel. LOL

Author's Response: And it scares me how easily those Andrew references come to me. (\"I\'m not a nerd! Really!\") OK, *sigh* I am.

Damn nobody ever took me on a date like that! I'm jealous!



Author's Response: Heehee! hi Ginar. Well, I'm glad that you liked it, but as for the jealousy...? There's not a lot I can do about that, I'm afraid! :-D I'm sorry for the delay, but RL has been a bit of a pain as of late, but I'm trying my best. I promise to try and get an update done soon. Thank you, once again, for sticking with me, and leaving me your thoughts. They mean a lot. Take care.

Hot diggity damn!!! That was great!!! I cannot wait until everyone watches that!!! In my opinion Xander always did have a thing for Buffy. That's why no one was ever good enough for her. And why he hated Spike so very much. Jealously is not pretty on Alexander LaVelle Harris.

Anya is going to boil Xander's fun parts in oil, eviserate him, chop his balls off then feed them to him before she kills him. But only if she gets to him before Buffy and Joyce!!!!!!

Hopefully they get to watch it before Xander does something to Spike. Or worse before he convinces Buffy, Dawn and Joyce to hate Spike. I could see the little shit setting Spike up for something like a dead girl. Just to get him tossed out of the Summers life. And possibly staked by Buffy.



Author's Response: Hi Ginar! Thanks for your review, I really enjoyed reading what you thought! I'm glad you liked the chapter, and seem to like where I'm going with this. As for Xander... ... I don't want to give anything away, so I think it would be best for me to keep quiet, don't you? >;-) Rest assured, even though I've been limited in my time recently, I am still writing, or trying to, and I'm not giving up, so don't worry about that. I'll try and update soon. Thanks for sticking with me, Ginar, and leaving me comments, thoughts and reviews, they really do mean a lot. Take care. X

I liked the story. I love Dawn and any story that has her and Spike friends works for me. The only suggestion is check your formatting. You could use more space between paragraphs.

Author's Response: Thanks Ginar, I\'m with you on that, I liked the dynamic the two of them had up to a point on the show and that, of course, gives people a place to go when writing them. Thanks for the suggestion, I did go back and kind spread certain bits out but i\'m still learning the system so my apologies regarding chapter 1 and hopefully chapter 2 is laid out in a more readable fashion. Thanks again for the review and suggestion. x

I think Spike is the one that is going to be hardest to convince. He's positive he failed on the tower and probably not inclined to believe Buffy wants anything to do with him.

Author's Response: Hi Ginar. I know I'm a little late with the responses, and we've moved on, but I want to take the time to say thank you for taking the time to leave me a review. As a first timer, I really appreciate them, and they really do help me. I like hearing peoples thoughts on my story. Thanks again, and take care. X

The differences between Angel(us) and Spike are glaring if anyone had ever bothered to look.

Author's Response: Hi ginar, Thanks for the comment, I always thought the differences were fairly clear cut, hence the chapter : ) Couldn\'t really tell, but I hope you liked the chapter, thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment though. x

The paragraph breaks are perfect. It's much easier to read now.

Nervous Buffy is a funny Buffy! She has been emotionally damaged by the men in her life so fro her to be nervous is understandable. Every guy she has cared for has let her down. Makes a girl gun shy!

Author's Response: Hi Gina. I\' glad the para breaks are better, I had to go back and edit the previous chapters manually, and they\'re about as good as I\'m gonna get them. I\'m glad you liked it, and yes, Buffy is right to be nervous, but after all, it\'s Spike! Let\'s just say the problems will come from elsewhere, if there are any. Thanks for taking the time to review Gina, it means a lot. I truly appreciate it. Take care. X

Xander has always had a crush on Buffy. Almost an obsession with her. Part of me hopes he's been possessed and that is the reason for this behavior. But another part of me thinks this has always been there. We saw it in season 6 Entropy. He always wants what he doesn't have and never appreciates what he does have.

It bothered me that Anya, as much as I like her, was forgiven for her crimes the moment she became human. She never experienced a moment of regret for what she had done until the frat house in season 7. But over a 1,000 years of death, pain and maiming and snap! It's forgotten by everyone because she's human. Those souls really are magic aren't they?!

I always thought Xander was willing to pretend Anya's past didn't exist because he was using her as a nice excuse to make Buffy jealous. It didn't work and he found himself trapped in a relationship with Anya until he finally bailed on her at the wedding.

After this outburst though I can't see Anya staying in the relationship much longer. She deserves so much better.



Author's Response: Hello Ginar. Thanks for your thoughts and comments, I totally agree with the whole soul thing, they really are an amazing commodity! So glad I did absolutely nothing to gain one at birth! : ) As for Xander, I really don't want to spoil anything that's gonna be coming up, but I will say that I agreed with everything you said about him, especially the whole making Buffy jealous thing, and having it backfire on him when he found out she was just happy for him. In case you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan of him! I don't want to comment too much on some of the things you've raised as, like I said, I don't want to spoil anything for you, but I want you to know I truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me, and it's kinda cool that You're thinking about something I've written. As a first timer, that's really quite gratifying, so I really do thank you. And thank you for sticking with me, I seemed to have developed a small group that insist on reviewing whenever I update, which, for me, is brilliant! Thanks again for taking the time to leave me your thoughts, it means a lot. Take care. X

If they'd only follow through with those thoughts instead of letting them die! Things might have turned out so much better. At the very least we would have been spared Riley!!

2000 girls sounds like a lot doesn't it? But when you think about the fact that there are 6 billion people on the planet it's not so much. But you gotta wonder how many evil demons are there on the planet? Catching and slaying each and everyone of those demons might be harder than they expect even with all those girls. If just one vamp lives...



Author's Response: Hi Gina, yeah 2000 is a lot. I think at one stage Giles said hundreds if not thousands might have been awakened and Buffy said (in the comics) that there were at least 1800 Slayers in the world, so I just rounded that number up. I also wanted to create a situation where they needed all of the slayers, so that the initial problem becomes how to find, recruit and house them.

Summary: It's been a month since Buffy's resurrection. She has nightmares every night but refuses to speak to anyone about them. Who would understand? Spike's been living in the basement since her death; he's the only one who can help her. Will Buffy put down her walls and let him in? What will she do when Angel comes to the rescue? Who will she choose?

Angel needed that dressing down. I hope Spike realizes she said that just to shut Angel up and that she didn't really mean it. But Angel is a prick. He runs from love all the time. Spike has to have evil motivations otherwise Angel might be called into question. If Spike can do good without a soul why can't Angel? That's something Angel isn't ready to answer... Ever.
