I just have a couple of comments. So far I like the plot and am very intrigued. Your writing could use a bit of polishing, but the storyline may make up for that.
You also don't explain whether or not Buffy is a slayer - I assume not, but I think you should explain at the beginning.
Author's Response: Hm, I'll consider putting the Human AU thing in he beginning - I guess I assumed people knew, but that's a good point. And thanks for the comments - I already know my first few chapters of my fictions are a bit cringeworthy, in my opinion, but I do depend on the storyline to remedy that, lol. Thanks for reviewing!

I hate when I near the end of the chapter cause I am already dying to read more. I'm hopegul good things happen when they get back. One... good... night..........................
Loved it.
Author's Response: Lol, I don't know about that, but I'm going to try and work in some smut next chapter...somewhere....lol. Thanks for the review!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

The story as a whole is really interesting and credible, while having enough of a danger element to keep someone, such as myself, who usually refuses to read "human" stories entertained. Good writing, good grammer with very few mistakes. I enjoyed the new chapter. Keep em coming!
Author's Response: What made you start to read? Whatever the reason, I'm glad you liked it :) Thanks for the review!

This is the first human fic I've really gotten into, it's very disturbing--I just read it in one sitting and I don't usually read WIPs but now I'm hooked! Don't screw up your finals of course, throw some of this energy over there and when you've kicked their ass, come back over here and kick Spike's a little more :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like it, even though it's disturbing ;)

I was prepared not to like this and the summery of this does not do it justice at all but it's so well penned I cannot help but to move it into the category of another of my favorite Spuffy writers. Its rare you come across a really juicy story that so completely pulls you in and thin one does from page one and on. I really hope you stick with this for this is a story worth telling and reading. I liked this part the best.
But what was, at first, brutal softened slightly, his tongue beginning to caress hers, and she was hardly aware that they were both clinging to each other.
He pulled back from the kiss, his grip tightening as he demanded, “Helped you with what?”
Her eyes still glazed over, she frowned. “Huh?”
Cause with everything else that is going on there is always a point where these two kinda forget themselves for a little bit. Spike loses himself a little bit and his hurts and anger and lets himself be tender with her. And Buffy for a small bit of time just, I don't want to say forgets her hate towards him but maybe she's forgets for a few moments herself or him or what they have done to each other and just maybe see's a guy she could connect with. I mean there was a attraction at the start and every one in a while like with the see thru waitress you see her watching him with other women so I think there is hope for them. How they will get there I do not know but I so wanna enjoy the ride till they get there.
Cheers
Author's Response: Haha, I'll have to investigate my summary then! People have told me I'm pretty good at them, but maybe the fic has evolved beyond what I originally summarized it at - good point. And I love that you pulled a segment of the fic because it shows you notice the small touches - thank you!

I have never been so completely blown away by a writer as I am with this story this is the best bit of fiction I've come across in a long time. You should get awards for this it's just that good.
I'm in a jumble to see what will happen when they get back and out of the car I almost want to beg for him to take care of her but that's not fair to ask of any author .
A freind sent me a link to this fic and I'm addicted now
I'll keep looking for more
I give this story a 10 out of 10 Cause it has everything.
Author's Response: What a nice friend :) And thank you for the wonderful comments - they really made my day!

Date: 12/13/2005 - 09:42 pm Title: VAMPS
I have enjoyed the 14 chapters that you have done, and am curious to see how this story ends. I like that you have pulled every character on the shows into this fic.
Author's Response: Glad you liked the character variety ;) Thanks for the review!

Date: 12/13/2005 - 06:05 pm Title: VAMPS
Nice update .... an evening out, a little excitement, a bit of insight into how Spike's emotions are pulling him closer and closer to realizing what Buffy means to him. Love the bit with Angelus coming to the rescue (and love how you got Rack in there too!). This gang thing works so well and you write it so perfectly.
And Parker's dead? -- too bad, so sad (not!).
Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Lol, I'm glad you like all the characters - there are a few more to come! Thanks for the review!

I have not read a story like this, and I want to keep reading. I am curious to read what happens.

First, I hope finals went well for you. Second, I’ve been checking at least every other day for your next posting and was so excited when you did. I swear to the PTB, if you don’t get some kind of award after you’ve finished this story, I am sooooo gonna go medieval on someone’s buttocks!!!
I agree w/ those whose reviews mention the subtle touches here and there between B/S (you did that on purpose haven’t you, ‘minx’?). You can see that Spike, through subtle gestures, has moved from what started as pure lust to the beginnings of a genuine ‘caring’ (don’t think it’s love just yet) for Buffy. This point is further reinforced during the part where Spike finds Angel w/ Buffy and it being an‘image of a book outta the past’.
Buffy’s little quips (in the car – ‘spend more time w/ you’ and the club – ‘I know how much you like watching me' (LOVED it, lol) are starting to make her Spike’s ‘match’ if only in the verbal arena. Would love to see her at some point actually kicks Spike’s physical a*#. She deserves some satisfaction.
When I look back on the progression of individual change, I see Buffy’s character becoming stronger and stronger, while Spike’s seems to be going almost the opposite. Bad choice of word actually, I only mean that in the sense that Buffy affects him to the point where it seems like Spike has grown gradually more and more obsessive/possessive/protective of her, slowly making him appear weaker and weaker to the gang, (wonder if he’ll grow a real conscience at some point, tee hee).
I think she’ll be his ‘undoing’ in the gangs’ eyes. That he could potentially become sloppy say if he’s the slightest bit distracted by her emotionally, and put them in danger during ‘jobs’. Can’t wait to see Angelus’s dark side exhibit itself at what he cooks up, now that he sees how much Buffy means to Spike. Also can’t wait to see how Spike will deal w/ Buffy after he gets her home.
Oh, Parker died from bleeding to dead, I meant to ask, is it strictly as a result of Buffy’s assault, or is there something/one else responsible? I mean she ‘wasn’t surprised’ so that makes me think someone else delivered the final blow. Cuz otherwise I would assume if she felt responsible, there would have been major guilt/grief on her part.
Keep up the great work, hopefully won’t be too long till chapter 15???
Author's Response: Oh, don't worry - getting such encouraging reviews feel like an award already! I'm glad you like the little touches ;) and the snarky lines! I agree about the comments about Spike - he is supposed to be getting "weaker" but I'm trying to progress it slowly since I don't want him puppy-whipped the ENTIRE fic, lol. I'll work in an explanation or flashback for Parker. Thanks for the review!

Date: 12/13/2005 - 12:47 pm Title: VAMPS
Great chapter, keep up the good work, you've got me hooked on this story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

WOW! still loving this story and I'm so gald I found the time to catch up with the last few chapters, so much has happened! Spike seems determined to drag Buffy down to his level, with the whole 'kill Parker' thing...yet, thankfully she's resisted so far...(YAY Buffy!!!!) but how much more can the poor girl take? everything is still so violent...Spike seems to be softening at the speed of a sloth, and it doesn't look as if he'll get the chance to turn things around in the relationship before Angelus makes a move...OH BOY!!! coz clearly he's brewing something nasty....More sex, violence and double dealing...soon, please...Oh, nearly forgot...I loved the flashback stuff, they added real interest to these great chapters...and again...more soon please ;-)
Author's Response: Oh, I'm glad you liked the flashback stuff - seems that was an acquired taste, lol. Good comments on all the other stuff too - thanks!

Date: 12/13/2005 - 02:28 am Title: VAMPS
It was a really great chapter. I hope you get tons of reviews, because I want to know what happens next!
Author's Response: You would get to know what happens next regardless of reviews - reviews just feed the muse and get me all giddy :) I should be able to work on it at the end of the week, when my finals are over. Thanks!

Date: 12/13/2005 - 12:37 am Title: VAMPS
Ahhh!
I so want to see what happens now when they get back to home. Buffy is all sick and Spike is ticked. What happens next!!!!!!
Great update look forwatd to more :P
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

Date: 12/12/2005 - 09:10 pm Title: VAMPS
Splendid chapter - I'm glad you didn't split it into two because that meant more to read! : ) Can't wait for more as soon as you're able to update!!
Author's Response: Thanks!

Date: 12/12/2005 - 08:17 pm Title: VAMPS
Oh la la....and the tension mounts........poor Buffy so unaware of the politics and how she is playing right in to Angelus hands.......and Faith for being a twit in not realizing that Buffy was acting out of ordinary and high....but then why should she care...except she didn't do her job and I wonder if Spike will punish her for it. Hmmmm. So want more more more
Author's Response: Yea, Faith doesn't really care about anything, and Buffy is very unaware, but it'll be fun when she starts to become perfectly aware of where she stands ;) Thanks for the review!

Date: 12/12/2005 - 08:15 pm Title: VAMPS
They are starting to have more conversations that don't end in a fight which is cool and it's fun watching Spike trying to figure her out. I wonder if she even thinks about his past or how he got there besides her over all hate for him.
For as much as Spike and Buffy fight she knows he also keeps her safe in the scary places or situations they get into. In little things at odd times she looks for him for protection or like in this she grabs his coat in the crowd. I like the little touches you add in the story. I like the fact Buffy is smart enough to see thru Angel and his help.Total Rack and Angel set-up I'm thinking to make Spikes gang lose faith in him. It is a most interesting Spuffy relationship I've had the pleasure to find and read.
Author's Response: Little touches and moments are all I can realistically give them right now, and it just so happens that I love them too, so it works out, lol. Thanks for the review!

Date: 12/12/2005 - 04:50 pm Title: VAMPS
I loved the new added chapter for me the best part was in the car drive over before getting out he lightly touched her shoulder and she didn't flinch from his touch. I know it's a tiny thing but I love the smallest of things in good story telling.
Hope if you can you'll add more.
Author's Response: Yes! Someone noticed it :D Thanks for the review!

Date: 12/12/2005 - 04:41 pm Title: VAMPS
Got into this fic last night and could not stop reading it even snuck in the last 2 chap. at work today. This story is superb every chap. is intense and you don't drift in your story like some fic writers can and do. I loved this part the best.
"But what was, at first, brutal softened slightly, his tongue beginning to caress hers, and she was hardly aware that they were both clinging to each other."
Things are changing very very tiny but changing and its cool to watch it unfold. In all the other chap. till now you see Spike play off Buffy have any meaning or effect on him and in this chap. you see him very controled but semi explode on Angel in front of everyone. How he will deal with this I can't wait to see will he A. Be pissed at her or B. react like we do not expect.
I see your a student and write part time due to your work load but I am so blown away with this story I hope you add more.
Michele~
Author's Response: I love new readers :D And I might pick A and B, who knows ;) Thanks for the review!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

Loved it! Especially Spike's increasing jealousy and possessiveness. Excellent name for the bar, by the way. I would say more, but my prediction came true and I'm sick now, so I'm kinda loopy at the moment :-) Can't wait for more - finish AAA!!!
Author's Response: Hehe, you and I would like that part ;) Yea, I thought the name would be cute, and then it just clicked that the place is sort of a metaphor for evil anyway. Look what I stumble across when I'm not paying attention ;) Get better soon!

I sure hope you will continue this wonderful epic story. You bring the characters to life. I love it.
