What the heck is going on?! Very short, but still very good. You had to have it short anyway to leave it at the awesome cliffhanger. :) Update soon, HP!

Author's Response: Haha, I know, you guys must hate me! But how long was it gonna be before they were fighting again anyway? With everything up in the air between them, things are even more tense than usual... Thanks :] Will do!

Thank you for the kinds words about me in your author's notes.

I have tears running down my face, and my lip is trembling. You have incredible talent! This story is such a beautiful addition.

I like how you had Angel there and everyone put him in his place. He is so full of it; loved that you had Spike punch him.

Everyone's speeches were so deep and heart-breaking. I was standing around the grave with them as they were speaking, I was so wrapped up in the story.

Brilliant job HP!

Thank you so much for writing it.

Author's Response: Well, it was you who asked me to write, so of course I had to mention you. :] Aw thank you. See? This is why I mentioned you, you\'re so great, thank you for the supporting feedback. Yeah, I really hate Angel, so I can get kind of pissy about him when writing. He usually gets hurt in some way. :P Thanks. :]

Woah, I have a lot of jumbled reactions to this fic.

I know you gave the warning, but I was seriously getting upset with how Buffy was talking to Angel. Lol . I was like, what, no! You don't love him, you stupid girl. However, you were being true to the character. There will always be a place in her heart for Angel...unfortunetly. ha, can you tell I'm not a fan?

I like how she went to Spike and after seeing him, being in his presence again, she then realized that she loved him.

Spike did say in the ep, "No you don't, but thanks for sayin' it." After she "claimed" her love. I fully believe that she did, just say it, so I'm glad you didn't twist that, like most stories do.

I have been waiting for Vertigo, but if you continue giving me one shots, ill forgive you for not updating. I hope youIre not being to hard on yourself though. I really like your writing, so I'm sure whatever you come up with will be wonderful.

Anyway, long story short, great one-shot!

Author's Response: Haha, I\'m not an Angel fan either. :P And Buffy really is infuriating in the first part of the fic. You just want to smack her. But much like in \'Your heart\'s desire\' or any other post-\'Chosen\' story I will ever write, I try to be realistic about Buffy\'s emotions. She still has a long way to go until she can actually love Spike, and in this story, I focused on getting Angel out of the way while still having them both in character. Blame the fact that I was rewatching Season Three at the time. And yay! I got Buffy to say she loved him and mean it! And I made him believe it! In \'Your heart\'s desire\', that really didn\'t work out, so I\'m glad it did here! Thank you for understanding my lack of updates. I feel really bad about not finding the inspiration to continue \'Vertigo\' right now, so I\'m finishing old fics and publishing them. As a matter of fact, there is a new (old) oneshot coming up today! :) It is, however, NC17 and seriously angsty, don\'t know whether that\'s your cup of tea. Thank you so much for your support and this super-long review! :D

HOT! Loved this chapter. Wonderful descriptive smut. I'm looking forward to all the things Spike will teach her.

Spike still has another secret?? Let the angst continue!

Author's Response: I\'m glad you enjoyed it! :) Yes, the angst is not quite over just yet.

You are so sweet to me; always mentioning me. It makes me smile!

This was short, but I loved it all the same.

Seriously girl, you have so much talent!

I had always wondered why Spike never went to the grave site after she came back. He obviously felt for her when he saw the scratches on her knuckles, but him falling to his kness in anguish, really took the cake.

I look forward to your update of Where Do We go From Here, and am so excited that you mentioned a new fic :D

And yay, you have "SO MANY MORE"

I hope people see you the way I do, An extremely talented, original, and brilliant author.

Great Job!

Author's Response: Haha, well I wouldn\'t have continued this is you hadn\'t encouraged me to! :D Thank you so much... I know, I always pictured it in my head, so I HAD to write it. Should be up by the weekend! ... Haha, yeah I have 3 chapters done already, so I might start soon. :P Haha, god, I have too many. Started ANOTHER one last night. Good job the summer\'s coming, and I\'ll have plenty of time! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your reviews seriously make my day. :D

That just "popped" into your head? Ha, I wish ideas like that just popped into my head.

I'm a broken record, but dang girl, you're witing is so deep and emotional.

I didn't notice if this wasa one-shot or not, but if it isn't then I'm excited to see where you bring this? Is this her waking up from the dead in season 6 or has she been turned?!

Thanks for posting a new story HP. You're brilliant.

Author's Response: Haha I couldn\'t get the image of Buffy digging at her grave out of my head, so I expanded a little, I guess. ...Thank you, I\'m just a little freaked out by the subject though. It\'s quite morbid for me! ... No, I think it\'s definitely a one-shot. I feel better about leaving it, it\'s more final, that\'s why the full-stop in my title felt so important to me - a sense of finality, a little blunt, I guess... God, you\'re literally the sweetest! :D

Spuffy is my favorite, but I really love the taboo of Spawn. The three of them together is just perfect.

Author's Response: I\'m a huge Spuffy fan as well. Spawn gets me hot though. And Dawn/Spike/Buffy makes me need a cold shower. You know the funny thing is, i\'d been looking for a Dawn/Spike/Buffy threesome fic as well. And since i couldn\'t find one i decided to write it for myself. I hope you\'re enjoying reading it half as much as I am.

Author's Response: Half as much as I am writing it i meant. Chapter three will be ready soon. I\'ll be posting it here and on my lj as well.

It kills me that I'm doing this; I feel like such a hypocrite. I have read twelve through twenty-four in one shot and am leaving the one review. *gasps* I'm awful! I just barely have any time and I'm sneaking time at work to read and review. I WILL come back and make up for those reviews. But for now, I will leave you with this.

I know I've said it before but I am so glad you decided to start writing. I think this story is a masterpiece...really. It has so much depth, detail, and the dialogue is wonderful. The character development is very believable.

I'm glad Ethan is back because I do love angst. Great job!!!

Author's Response: It\'s totally cool. I always appreciate your reviews and thank you so much for such a wonderful review! The angst is definitely getting a little heavy now. Thank you. :)

I just added you to my favorite authors. :D

That was a really cool movie scene. Was that original or from a movie? It was very creative if you made that up completely. Really great job.

Author's Response: Thank you! :) It was original, it came from the depths of my crazy brain lol. I\'m glad you enjoyed it. :)

You are amazing!! I haven't read the story yet (don't have time) but seriously, wow, the summary sounds awesome. Can't wait to read it. I love all of your stories!

Author's Response: Thank you so much!!! Your comment has absolutely made my day! I always appreciate your comments and reviews on my stories and they always help to inspire me! I hope you enjoy reading this story. :)

My last review was lame. LOL.

I really enjoyed this story and your writing. I love Drusila in this story and can not wait to see more of her in the sequel. The Spuffy reunion was awesome and, again, can't wait to see more of that in the sequel. Hope you have already started writing and I'll see a new story from you soon!

Author's Response: Aww! Thanks so much! That means a lot to me! I won\'t be able to write the sequel as quickly as I did this one (due to some other writing commitments), but I will definitely try to get the first chapter up next week sometime, so you can at least get some relief over what happened to the characters. :)
