Wonder a bit what Willie's story actually was, but little does it matter with Gile's making sure Spike knows the slayer isn't dead and to send Lydia on her way to misinform the council. Nice little bit of the Ripper there. Great chapter. Looking forward to time to read more!
Author's Response: Ripper will be making another appearance soon.

Yeah Giles and his gun. Glad that he is there, too and that she doesn't have the time to woo Spike into any false security. Great chapter.
Author's Response: I thought it was time for Giles to play thre hero.

Well, it would seem that Buffy managed to save him, even from afar. Poor girl. Clem may be a friend, but he is no substitute for Spike. And Panya, pulling Giles chain. Love that, too.
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it. Panya will be important soon.

On the edge of my seat here. Please update soon. can't wait to find out more of what is going on.
Author's Response: More coming, don't worry

you're just not getting enough reviews for this. really loving it so far.keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Umm...tell your friends? But I will keep writing regardless, so no worries.

Wow! What a dramatic and exciting flashback. I'm so glad the hospital mentioned to Giles that Spike didn't make it, at least now Giles can start formulating some kind of plan to rescue Spike. As much as I hate the fact that Travers has captured Spike, i'm really looking forward to Travers reaction when Spike answers his question... if Spike chooses to answer that is. Nice conversation between Dawn and Aunt Darlene. Great update!
Author's Response: It may take time, but Giles will catch on.

Why does he think she's dead? Creepy demons in the cave maybe? Would love to read more, but only time for one chapter tonight. Be back tomorrow!
Author's Response: Everything will be explained...kwwp reading.

Spike!!!!
Wow, such strong impact on Buffy that it stunned her heart into stopping. Good thing it wasn't Angel there, instead...she never would have gotten CPR.
Quentin, you bastard, stop hitting him! He's defenseless at the moment. Oh....poor Spike. Giles, help!!
Author's Response: Spike just proved he's not Angel. Giles will put two and two together soon.

Very interesting! Of course a hospital would think Spike is dead.
I like the lion imagery. Very effective; and ties in well with the "Simba" theme. This is such an interesting story!
Author's Response: Well...he *is* dead. Of corse it ties in. Do you think Mouse gave him the nickname for nothing?

Date: 05/16/2006 - 10:19 pm Title: Innocence Lost
Oh no! That was a very mean place to leave it. I really want to know what is happening. Please update again soon.
Author's Response: Keep reading...you'll know soon.

Date: 05/16/2006 - 05:22 am Title: Innocence Lost
Oh my gosh!!! So much badness happened during Giles' three hour nap. It's so sad that Travers evil planned worked. I loved how Spike immediately snapped out of his mental confusion when Buffy approached him. Knowing Spike he probably didn't put up a fight in exchange for Buffy's safety. I'm so worried about Spike's well being... no telling what physical or mental tortures Travers might inflict upon him. Fantastic update!
Author's Response: You know there's only one way Spike would end up drugged and in chains...read and find out more.

Gotta say I was sorta holding off on getting involved in this one, but it would seem that I can put it off no longer, and this beginning is fabulous, and entriguing. Wonderful start, and I'll be back for more tomorrow!
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you're giving this a chance. I hope to keep you involved. Enjoy!

Date: 05/15/2006 - 09:18 pm Title: Innocence Lost
great chapter. am really interested in what's going to happen next, can't wait for the next installment. Exactly what does Travers want with Spike???
Author's Response: Tune in next time...and find out!

Date: 05/15/2006 - 08:00 pm Title: Innocence Lost
But! But! But! Nooooooo!!!!! Not already! Noo!
How can you leave us there? OMG!
Author's Response: Hold on, I didn't reveal anything dire. Remember, Spike is technically a "body." He is dead and all maybe Buffy is okay....

Date: 05/15/2006 - 06:36 pm Title: Innocence Lost
You know, you just keep surprising me with this story! I didn't see that twist coming.
You're going to update again soon, right? Right??
Author's Response: Yes, I will be updating soon. And, you *didn't* see that coming? Wow...the set up must have been more subtle than I thought. Thanks!

Yikes!!
Very nice update; esecially like the Dawn scene. Great characterization!
Author's Response: Yikes is right! Thanks for the review.

Date: 05/13/2006 - 05:53 am Title: Cradle of Civilization
Great Spike/Dawn flashback, I found it very insightful. Darn that Travers! I can't help but wonder if Quentin's operative was behind the poaching incident. I hope Giles and Panya are alright wherever they are. Can't wait to find out how or if our hero's get out of this mess. Fantastic update!
Author's Response: Getting warmer, M.G.! ;-)

Why aren't more people reviewing? This fic is so well done.
It would have been easy for her to calm him down with saying it was elephants as soon as he started asking about the blood. Is she still that dense? You're supposed to be helping him, Buffy, not being your usual contrary self and making people wring answers out of you.
Giles should have known better not to leave her with Spike alone - she's not prepared to help his condition. Buffy should have gone with Panya to help bring back supplies.
If Spike keeps running at full speed, then this tracker guy won't be able to keep up. Otherwise, I'm very worried. And Quentin is a creepy bastard. I'm worried for Lydia.
Author's Response: I couldn't tell ya. Sometimes reviewing can be scary. If Buffy was *Completely* out of character, no one would read the fic. (And Giles had to be the one to go, there's a *Telegram* he needs to read.)

I know that Buffy is still in shock, but she of all people should know that just cause there is a law against something, it doesn't mean people won't do it. And I wasn't expecting to hear anything about Dawn, but the conversation between her and her aunt was excellent. Wonderful chapter. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Buffy lives in a world of black and white. Humans good, demons bad, full stop. Well it's time she grew up .

Date: 05/06/2006 - 07:09 pm Title: Blueshift
Gotta say i'm really liking Lydia in this fic. Poor Spike his nightmares about the trails are expected, it was really interesting to find out his dreams were so detailed about Buffy's shooting. It always annoyed me that on the show Willow's actions were forgiven and swept under the rug, I loved Willow's conclusion that she's a worse person than Spike ever was. Aunt Darlene sure made a memorable entrance into the story, I like her bunches already. Great update!
Author's Response: Yeah, seems everyone got forgiven except Spike. Well this is AU and I'm gonna change that.

Date: 05/06/2006 - 05:52 pm Title: Blueshift
Go Aunt!!!
Author's Response: LOL I like her too.

Date: 05/06/2006 - 05:19 pm Title: Blueshift
I'm still enjoying this story hugely. Really liked the Willow and the Dawn segments; interesting insights. I love the whole idea of Aunt Darlene visiting and meeting the nice boy who took such good care of Dawn after her mom died. Fascinating alternative reality!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying it. They mentioned an Aunt, and then never used her again. What's up whith that?

Date: 05/06/2006 - 05:04 pm Title: Blueshift
First, I'm loving Aunt Darlene. We all know that Dawn's maddest at Spike for leaving her when she didn't want him to. The Buffy thing - what she thinks she knows about it, is really secondary.
Lydia - good girl...did the right thing. Hope the telegram gets there.
Everything else just makes total sense...and really adds to the realism. You're doing a fantastic job.
Author's Response: Thanks kim. We all know what Dawn's problem really is. And Aunt Darlene will set her straight, so Spike won't have to later.

Date: 05/02/2006 - 11:27 pm Title: Speaking Louder
Wow. Another excellent chapter. I guess that Buffy did not know as much as I thought she did when she came. I thought that she already knew that he had won himself a soul. And I was rather surprised she seemed so shocked at the attempted rape idea. Very interested to know her thoughts right about now. Looking forward to it.
Author's Response: When people are in shock, one of the first things they go through is denial. Buffy's in Big Time denial.

Date: 05/02/2006 - 11:21 pm Title: Speaking Louder
I love this story! Poor Spike is breaking my heart...
And can we keep Panya? What a cutie!
Author's Response: Mine too. Panya will be crucial to the plot very soon.
