I'm glad Buffy did hear Angel talk to Spike about what he didn't want to spill out. So she knows now. And is acting to help :)
Author's Response: Buffy to the rescue! It's what she does best.

I'm glad Homer (aka Spike) is there to help Spike. Good he is torturing Angel a bit *g*
Author's Response: It's about time, don't you think? And remember, "Homer" is a very important part of Spike's psyche. But, he's not the soul. What "part" do you think he is?

very nice, the wheels are turning.

Author's Response: Just keep 'em turning and everything will make sense.

Author's Response: Stay tuned, M.G. it's gonna get even more exciting soon!

Wonderful chapter! I just love it when the broody one gets tormented. Can't wait for the Spike/Angel confrontation.
Author's Response: Yep, that's always fun;-)

Our heroes (spike,buffy)are in sooo much pain.
Well, life is hard, so the life of a champion must be brutal.
keep up the great work.

Author's Response: All this just makes it soo much sweeter when they win. ;-)

Holland.. *sigh* How much we can trust Angel? So he really has the key but Holland doesn't want him to use it. I wonder if Angel will ever know what he did ('airborne')
Author's Response: Trust? Let's see...how far do you think *you* could throw Angel? About that far. Angel might not find out, but Joni will. *Evil laugh* Stay tuned.

I never thought of if: But Angel acted the same way: Letting Buffy and Connor go to give them there 'normal' life. ~ And the place is for Angelus?... But now Spike is there.
Author's Response: Aren't "Bizaro worls" fun?

That dumbass angel always screws up.
What i find so funny about the show is how they tried to portray angel as a champion when all they really did is show me that spike is the REAL champion and angel is just self -rightous pedifoul.
Author's Response: The double standard that M.E. had made me sick. Anya was a demon- and she made a choice to go back to the "life." But it's okay for Xander to marry her? Angel tortures Buffy and friends, but he gets a pass because he doesn't "remember" doing it when he gets his soul back.
I seem to remember a scene from "Beneath You " that blows that notion to bits. Spike remembered everything he did when he got his soul back. Anyway, *Deep breath* you're preaching to the chior here.

Fantastic chapter! It figures this is all Angel's fault. It seems all his good intentions end badly. I hope he gets his just desserts. I loved the Homer/Spike interaction. With all the drama going on I really liked Buffy's sweet little flashback. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you M.G. I loved writing the flashback, it was fun. I hope things are starting to make sense.

Oh god indeed... and Holland Manners thinks he's plastered over the crack in their plot, doesn't he?
But now you've brought other forces out to play, there's a chance balance and harmony might be restored. I'm torn though. On the one hand I'm delighted that there seems to be a path being created down which Spike, Buffy and Joni might find each other, but it's been created by an intervention by... I assume the PtB? So, on the other hand, I would have liked Spike to have worked things out for himself and used the forces instead of the feeling I get that he's being used by them... in fact, the eeriest thing about this fic is the feeling that none of them are anything other than puppets in a grande and dangerous dance of dark and light power... *shudders*
The whole thing is mesmerising though, pet. You have a truly complex mind. Well done.
Author's Response: Oh. the metaphors! Don't forget, "Homer" is a part of Spike, so he is using his own brain, he just hasn't realized it yet. In case you missed it, in this fic, the "PTB's" are pretty slow. I mean, their first Champion was Angel. How bright can they really be? Spike is the one with all the creativity here. So, who's really in charge? Take one guess. ;-)

Great chapter! I just love how you used Connor to expose Angel's "noble" secrets to Buffy. It's hard to believe Angel only now realized who Buffy belonged with. Poor Spike i'm glad he has Homer there with him. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Yeah. They don't sound noble when he says them out loud, do they. Homer will be leading Spike in the right direction very soon.

very good chapter, i wonder if spike is gonna accomplish his mission.
I'll just have to keep on reading .
Author's Response: Stay tuned...things will work out.

IVE ONLY READ 8 CHA[TERS AND IM CRYING ALREADY! THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN THANK YOU
Author's Response: I'm SO sorry to hear that. And for goodness sake, don't read it when depressed. It's gonna be a rollercoaster, but it will be worth it in the end. I promise. Hang in there. ;-)

Back and forth again. Loved the talking of the two (B&S) in "THE INTERREGNUM".
Author's Response: Glad you liked it, it's important.

Seems as if Willow was the only one to stop Buffy (because it happened to her before). And why does Angel think Spike and Joni are dead? Is he lying?
Author's Response: No, he's not lying. It's really too bad that Angel doesn't trust his heart. He only trusts his eyes.

Joni calls Joyce Mamma too... ~ ... And now Buffy knows what exactly Angel has done and what it has cost Spike. But I loved the reunion.
Author's Response: Of course she calls Joyce Momma. She is a Daddy's girl.

Date: 01/07/2006 - 09:42 am Title: Real
The worst thing for Buffy was to loose Spike, see him suffering did torture her too. Loved the reunion. And Angel got human... yeah, I remember, that was from the the previous chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading Cordy. Things will start to make sense.

Date: 01/06/2006 - 07:04 pm Title: Aid and Comfort
Wonderful chapter! I loved Spike and Buffy's conversation in the interregnum... it was very eye opening. Unless i'm wrong I think we just got a "Jiminy" puzzle piece. Love the story! Can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: If by that you mean our humble caretaker convincing our hero that the way to deal with his inability to get back to his wife is to raise his Dove so that she can grow up and fly to Mum's arms? Then yeah, your're right. ;-)

very,very nice. It's a really long and complicated story. I'm very impressed with the way you are telling it.
Keep up the fantastic work
seeya
Author's Response: Thank you very much! The story is winding up now. I hope I don't lose you after all this time. Keep reading, please.

Another wonderful chapter. I really enjoyed it. I'm so curious to find out how you plan to bring Spike and Joni back. I know this story isn't finished yet, but i'm wondering if you'll continue the adventures of the Dustin family in a sequel?
Author's Response: I *could * be talked into it. Got another story spinning in my head just now. As for how I bring Spike and Joni back, a hint is way back in "Starlight,star bright." See if you can figure it out before I post it!

Date: 01/04/2006 - 05:01 pm Title: Feet of Clay
Heartbreaking... I don't think there's a single character in this story that isn't suffering. I know there's nary a one of them I don't feel for. If that was your intent, then consider yourself highly successful, pet.
I just keep plugging away, hoping against hope that somewhere along the way there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. I refuse to believe that the realisation of our hopes just die away into a vanishing point. *gulps back a tear*
Author's Response: Perception has a great feal to do with this fic. Angel has been brooding over the "Dustins'" graves from the beginning, that was meant as a big hint. Perhaps you didn't notice because Angel always broods, but all of this may be due to Angel's worldview. ;-) Does that help?

Fantastic chapter! Not that I condone violence but... after the way Joss and Co. always used Spike as Buffy's personal punching bag for no reason at all, it was really satisying to have Buffy let loose on Angel for a change. Love the way Spike and Buffy's reunion is going. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I thought it was about time that Buffy found out that Angel wasn't as noble as he seemed. I'm loving the Spuffy writing. Please keep in mind that I like stories that leave the more romantic parts to the reader's imagination... so keep that in mind. ;

Angel deserves a severe can-o-whoop-ass unleashed on him :)
Author's Response: OH yeah, he does! ;-)

Great chapter! *sniff* That was a beautiful reunion... so touching. I loved it! Can't wait to find out what Angel has to say.
Author's Response: What is there to say? Spike just proved Angel is second best.
