Well that is a dreadful thing to experience and to have her brother be one of the evil creatures, an even more devastating thing to endure. So much death, I just want to know more.
Author's Response: Rachel's experience with her brother,and then Angelus, led her to her kooky theory about the person the vampire was playing a big part in the vampire's evil deeds later on.

Nice analagy! Loved this chapter. Poor little Spike though! And I really hope Dawn comes around- Spike needs her.
Author's Response: First crushes are always hard on a young girl's heart. But, they never really go away.

Awwh, I love this so much! Poor Spike, poor Buffy! You have my sympathy a-pumpin' !!

Hooray, Giles to save the day. I love to see loyalty, and Panya's loyalty to 'Simba' is lovely, just lovely. I hope Giles will take Spike under his wing too. Now buggar off please Lydia!!
Author's Response: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Lydia could be important later...I'm just sayin'... :-)

'The weeping lion'- that is so beautiful.
Author's Response: I always saw Spike as more lion than demon, so I used it. Glad you like it.

Poor Spike, love this =]
It's so poignant.

Oooooh, intriguing =] Lets have some Spike/Giles friendship- I love it!! xx
Author's Response: You'll get that. And to quote Spike, "...Something a whole lot better!"

Oh, wow, I love Spikes tales of eating groupies at Billy Idol shows. That's just brilliant. Such fun indeed. And more windows to the past. I love those, too. Spike keeping Rupert on the straight an narrow and Dawn pulling no punches keeping Red in line. So many wonderful things. Great chapter, please, update soon.
Author's Response: I couldn't resist the Idol thing. It's just something you know Spike would do. :) Now, all they have to do is start to get to know each other. That's easy, right?

Date: 11/03/2006 - 03:20 pm Title: The Lost Art
love it, can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks!

I like how Giles and Spike's talk played out. I enjoyed getting Giles's perspective on why he refused to see any gray areas in life. Loved how Spike threw in the Billy Idol joke at the close of the chapter, it was a nice way to lighten the mood. Fantastic update!
Author's Response: I had to get the Idol thing in there somewhere. I still rock out with Billy in my headphones. I think that's part of the reason I liked "Spike" in the first place. Giles has to remember who his elders are, rhough. ;-)

I love it spent most of the day reading all 50 chapter, can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you for the marathon reading. Now you can take a break-until I get the next chapter written. :D

loved her comment about Spike, but didn't Buffy send Angel away when he offered to stay and help after her mother died.
Author's Response: I didn't see it like that. But, even if she did do that, they've both been through so much- things that Angel wasn't there for- can you blame her for being a little emotional?

Date: 10/29/2006 - 09:11 pm Title: All The Difference
Love those little stories from the past. That they know now that they are family. And poor Buffy and her guilt. Was never her fault, but we all have our demons. Love the progress, please, update soon.
Author's Response: I'm so flad you enjoy the little windows into William's soul. Even the best of us can be worse at times.

Date: 10/28/2006 - 10:00 pm Title: All The Difference
Wow! Buffy and Giles came to a very interesting conclusions about demons and humans in this chapter, and you did an amazing job of getting the point across. *gives your muse a plate of spicy buffalo wings for a job well done... unless it's hot chocolate weather, then the cuppa is on me* Loved the update! Can't wait for the rest of Giles's talk with his Uncle Spike. :D
Author's Response: Hot chocolate...and wings, coming right up! The conversation should be interresting.

A bit of sadness and then a touch of light at the end. They will come through this. I know they will. Love the depth of the emotion on both sides. Great chapter, please, update soon.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. That's how love goes- a little shadow and a little light. But in the end both are better for the journey.

Date: 10/26/2006 - 11:08 pm Title: The Chicken and the Egg
It was so nice to see Buffy being supportive and not running away, pity she couldn't have been more like that on the series. I continue to enjoy Spike's flashbacks. Loved Spike and Buffy's conversation. Great chapter!
Author's Response: Ahh...thakn goodness this is an AU. You never know what could happen.

Date: 10/21/2006 - 12:05 am Title: Interlude
And the thing that brings him out of his funk is Buffy mocking Angel's hair. I love that. Okay, so I guess she told him she loved him, but I really enjoy the idea of hair mockage. Great chapter. Love to see the little bits of progress.
Author's Response: Come on, hair mackage can make anyone smile. Especially when it's Angel's hair that's being mocked! :)

Date: 10/20/2006 - 07:36 pm Title: Interlude
I loved the lighthearted ending of the chapter. I'm so happy Spike is laughing again after all the pain he's been through. Can't wait to find out if Sir Broods A Lot actually shows up. Wonderful update!
Author's Response: Yeah, he needed a smile. Sir Broods-a-lot- will show. But, will he help?

A place for him... How can he not believe they will find him a place. Silly boy. His place is right by Buffy, and we all knew that. Great chapter, love the flash backs. Please, update soon.
Author's Response: "William" is old- fashioned, and very unsure. That may account for what Spike is feeling right now.

Date: 10/15/2006 - 05:11 pm Title: Post Mortem
I liked the effect Panya's question had on Giles. Loved the flashback. Rachel would be so proud of Giles right now, it's so great to see him being so sure of himself and supportive. Fantastic chapter!
Author's Response: Yes, Giles did seem to be off in the weeds near the end of canon didn't he? Well, not in my 'verse! :)

Date: 10/12/2006 - 03:04 pm Title: Beginnings
This is one of the most original and intriguing fics I have ever read, and I can't wait for more. Keep up the goos work!
Author's Response: Thanks for saying so,and I hope I , and my peroxided muse, :) can hold your attention.

Date: 10/12/2006 - 05:55 am Title: Beginnings
I enjoyed Giles and Willow's conversation. Loved Spike's interactions with Panya and Buffy. With all the guilt and pain Spike is feeling right now a good dose TLC is just what the doctor ordered, i'm glad Buffy is coming through for him. Fantastic chapter!
Wow! The banner was quite a surprise. :D Nemo really captured the drama of the beginning of the story perfectly. I like the African backdrop.
Author's Response: TLC is a good thing. And Buffy is trying...points for effort. Glad you like the banner, Nemo did a great job!

Date: 10/11/2006 - 10:21 pm Title: Beginnings
A beginning indeed, for everyone I suppose. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! Where do we go from here...? :)

Date: 10/11/2006 - 08:34 pm Title: Beginnings
Awwww...more! I could read hundreds of pages from you...
Such a wise boy for being so young. And poor Spike still needs more blood and sleep.
You neatly show that Buffy still has things to make up for without making us dwell on it, yet, since it's plenty easy to be very angry at her for how she treated him before..
Author's Response: Thank you for saying so. They all have a whole bunch of grovling to do. And,when is Buffy giong to let Spike relax? A more important question is: Will Spike forgive himself, now that he has a soul?

*breathes a sigh of relief* I'm glad Buffy heard Spike and woke up, the moment the two shared was so poignant. Loved Panya's entrance at the end of the chapter. I'm really looking forward to finding out what happens next to our favorite vampire, especially where the Prophecies of The Unhesines are concerned. Fantastic chapter!
~ Congrats on the new nominations!!! :D
Author's Response: Thanks! And, isn't there always some prophecy or something mucking things up? The implixations of what just happend will be dealt with. You'll just have to keep reading to find out how. :)
