Poor Spike, and Xander with that heavy decision he may have to make. And even Illyria. Spike was better. I love it.
Author's Response: And the fact that Spike would ask Xander to do that just tells you how much he really does care about "The Whelp."

Yeah, Dru's here! Quite excited. I also enjoyed Spike's little explanation of things vampire. And Holland's little invasion. Time to learn a lot.
Author's Response: Good-'cause is't about to get fun. :)

Now and forever, and forgetting to breath. Such happy moments. Glad they have them.
Author's Response: Everyone has ro have something to smile about once and a while. It can't be all doom and gloom.

"Contented, for the first time since he'd held her, just like this, in an abandoned house in Sunnydale."--Yeah Angel for finally doing something right. And to Willow for an amazing Spell. And Dru finally heard him calling. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Yeah...*big sigh* glad you liked it.

An agreement with Xander. Time for him to grow up indeed. And Xander knowing that Buffy needed a bit of a rest, an amazing observation and kind gesture. Great chapter.
Author's Response: I can't make Xander a complete idiot...can I?

Angel finally realizing that Dru would just know. And I believe that she would. And Buffy singing the song that Fred sang before she was gone. How very sad. Poor Spike...
Author's Response: You know...I didn't even make the Fred connection with the song until you mentioned it? What would Sigmond say about that?

Date: 09/19/2006 - 10:42 pm Title: On Fire
Love how it all connects through his beautiful eyes. Such a nice idea. But what is Dru getting ready. I cant help but wonder. But enough for tonight. Wonderful chapter. Really enjoying the story.
Author's Response: "Spike" and the actor who helped hime to "live" does have wonderful eyes. I'd be stupid not to use them in this story!

Date: 09/19/2006 - 10:35 pm Title: Green and Blue
Love that he can see again. Always better with baby steps. Hafta wonder how Faith is holding up. Poor grieving lionness. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Don't know about Faith, as she really isn't the focus here. I guess you'll have to fill in those blanks with your own story, maybe. :-) And youre right, baby steps are of the good.

She got Robin, and Buffy drained Spike. An interesting turn of events. Hope Dru gets there in time.
Author's Response: No one messes with Dru's little boy Prince. No one.

The Mountain Dew of all things. How funny. Love Illyria and Illyria as Fred hanging out with Dawn. Seems the Ancient has blended in quite nicely.
Author's Response: Yep. Lindsey was a bad man.

Well, it seems that Angel figured something out. And Riley and Angel working together to find Dru. That is something. And Angel marking Buffy, one of these days there will be a discussion and how I would love to be a fly on that wall. Marvelous.
Author's Response: Oh, there will be, don't worry!

Date: 09/19/2006 - 10:08 pm Title: While You Were Sleeping
Okay, "Wonderful Life"--I know who he is now... Forgot the heads up by the end of the chapter.
Author's Response: That's okay. That'll teach you to read Author's Notes! LOL!

Date: 09/19/2006 - 10:07 pm Title: While You Were Sleeping
Hmmm... Who is George Bailey? Love that he can talk again. And how happy that makes Buffy.
Author's Response: Are you into movie trivia?

The demon rallying against his weakened state. Hope Dru can help...
Author's Response: She can...

Date: 09/19/2006 - 09:44 pm Title: Unfinished Business
Spike messing with Angel, through Buffy, from afar. That is fun. Poor boy all burned to a crisp. Do hope they find Dru, just this once. And Angel exposing him to demon poisons, wonder what that's all about. Glad to see Spike's mind still working. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Messing with Angel just shows Spike's on the mend.

Date: 09/19/2006 - 09:35 pm Title: A Spoonful of Sugar
A lovely thing that they can communicate. I wonder why. And I loved the squeak toy line. Illyria is always fun to watch. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Spike always was a different kind of vampire. If he needs to communicate with Buffy, he'll find a way. We know that.

Date: 09/19/2006 - 09:26 pm Title: Ashes
Illyria reaching out to be Fred for him. Quite a gesture by her. And Buffy finally finding out about Spike from Angel. Poor girl. To find out after it may already be too late. Amazing.
Author's Response: It's never too late. :)

Dying? Not dead like so much kindling. All I can say is I want to know what happens next. Great beginning.
Author's Response: Now what fun would it be if I dusted Spike?

Great story. The plot really kept my interest from beginning to end. I liked that Dawn and Spike were close again and that Ilyria continued to be protective of Spike. I was wondering what Spike looked like in the end though. Was all his hair back - did he dye it back to blonde? Was he very scarred? Just the right mix of description and dialogue - it was very well written and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks!!
Author's Response: Sta- I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And, if you're interested- there is a sequel called "Vanishing Point" more of his appearance is described. We all know that the blonde is dye- so if his natural hait grew back in, it would be brown. Have you seen pictures of Mr. Marsters after "Spike?" Think of that when you want to know what he looks like in the next story.

oh its just getting interesting Is Buffy
gonna save Spike i hope so good
reunion i bet and Buffy better take
out Angel he deserves it for not
telling her Spike was alive that
was jealous and evil
Author's Response: I know how you feel about Angel. But, he's important to the rest of the story, so no dustage...yet. But that also means that Buffy and Spike get to do sone long-needed bonding. I hope you enjoy the story!

Author's Response: Thank you very much. It means so much that new readers are finding this story.

just started reading this story tonight. Can't stay awake anymore, but thought I'd zip off this review. Your writing is excellent. You definitely kinow how to tell a story. Looking forward to the rest and also the sequel you've posted.
Author's Response: Glad to see "prayers" is still getting read. :-) I'm so focused on the other story that I almost didn't see your review. So sorry! I think you'll find a lot of twists and turns in the story, but at the end, I think you'll be satisfied. Happy reading ;-)

What a great story!! It's so nice to read a well-developed, thought provoking plot! I'mhoping you've made some headway into the sequel 'cause I don't usually have the patience for WIPs...too worried that the story will end up unfinished I guess. :( Hope the muses & plot bunnies are kind and lead you to a big ol' pot o' spuffy goodness to be shared by all (I blame that last sentence on ny-quil & hot toddies). Thanks again! Heather

This is one of the first fics I've read in ages that actually had me wondering about the end.... usually I can guess the outcome after reading a couple of chapters.
Good job..... it's hard to write in the Buffy medium and not be predictable... you wern't.
Author's Response: Thanks for the compliment! Maybe I can suprise you again soon? I think that the reason that this one worked so well, is I tried to answer questions that were open-ended in the Jossverse. Thanks again!
