I just love the dream sequences you have. Most creative.
Author's Response: They're a lot of fun to write, and I'm glad you enjoyed reading them. Thanks!

Why do I get this nagging feeling that leaving the feathers to Giles was the last thing they should have done? Oh, well, I suppose I'll find out eventually. In the meantime, I loved this chapter, I loved reading that the Scoobies are so accepting of Spike now and the explanation of who the twins were. You're doing a fantastic job with this story and I can't wait for more!P.S. Hope your writer's block passes soon. ;)
Author's Response: I hope it does too. Bleh. As for this chapter, perhaps that foreshadowing was a little blatent, huh? ;-) I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing!

Wow, very intriguing dream. Can't wait to find out what it means. :D Fantastic chapter! Off to read more since I fell behind.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. It was a trip to write! Thanks for the review!

I wanted to read in your LJ when I wouldn't have found it here :) ~ To the feather wasn't one of Meret's... that is strange indeed. Mmmm why did Meret send an image of Buffy's inner Slayer ('the first slayer' image) instead of the 'normal' Buffy image. Oh...they shared the dream. So Buffy was talking about the same dream Spike had when he came to see Buffy. Ah, so it is important that Spike was invited to the dream if you think of the first meeting of the Scoobies and the First Slayer. ~ It's good indeed the Spike has a better memory for the details of the dream. Giles could use the hints Spike gave. Mmm both Buffy and Spike had a reluctance to let the feather go? Then they are more important than I first thought. I had to grin when I read that Meret is a bat now he.. hunting thieves in the Bronze :) Loved it.
Author's Response: Thanks! You would think that Buffy would have started reporting more details from her dreams as the show progressed. Oh well.

Mesmerizing dream sequence. It read very much like one of Buffy's early-season dreams, but had its own added layers of myth. Nice.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. It was a beast to write. Fun, but still a beast. Thanks for reviewing!

Weird dream..first filled with weapons and then waves. But Joyce was there. And then, in his crypt, Spike got approved by the first slayer. The women with Buffy, the dusting skeleton? The skeleton they found? The glasses reminded me of Giles (a watcher). And I loved: They're cookies. I should know. I'll be one soon. I don't know who the old man is... Sineya = Meret? I'm guessing very hard ;-) Though it was interesting. Looking forward to the next part, maybe Spike will be able to tell then what is all was about.
Author's Response: Sineya is the first slayer. Her name was mentioned in one of Willow's spells in Primeval and in the Tales of the Slayers. I'll be explaining the rest of your guesses as the story goes along. Thanks for reviewing!

Other than the initial scene of blood stained blades poking through the lawn, the dream was positive. I enjoyed the image of Meret as a woman, red, lidless eyes should be frightening, but she was comforting instead. I'm looking forward to discovering what Spike has been chosen for.
Author's Response: I simply can't write a story without a few blood-stained blades sticking out of something. ;-) Since I had Spike insisting that Meret was female during the last story, I wanted to show her as a woman in this one. I'm glad you liked the end result. Thanks!

*grins* Oh yeah, better run Spike or Giles will tie you down to the books that needs to be translated. And Anya wasn't less threatening ;-). Awe, Spike snarling at Dawn's football player. He showed that he wouldn't kill any bloke (without reason). Spike scowled, realizing once again that he had a knack for surrounding himself with pushy women. Awe I love Meret :) She nipped Spike when he stopped scratching her? And Meret and Dawn teasing Spike about Buffy. Schmoopy stuff? I wonder if Spike will go for it. (And btw: The middle book of my CJ C. Trilogy came today :) )
Author's Response: Yeah, I was having fun being silly in this chapter. I'm glad you liked it. (And yay! Chanur!) Thanks for reviewing!

Loved the update. Everything about it.The football player scare, Buffy not hitting him, Dawn's inquisition. And of course Meret. Bless her . She is one of the best characters ever added to one of these stories.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the chapter, and especially Meret. She's so much fun to write and it's gratifying that people seem to like her so much. Thanks for reviewing!

Hee! Poor Spikey. ;) Fantastic chapter! I just love the interaction between Spike, Dawn and Meret and can't wait to see what's going to be coming after that conversation. I also liked the part where Buffy didn't repproach (sp?) Spike because he scared the boy. I'm truly enjoying this story so much. :D Good luck with your exams.Mari
Author's Response: Whew, thanks about the exams. They are thankfully done now. I think I might take a little too much pleasure in messing with out favorite vampire. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Buffy's horrified face and Spike's "...own mental images of what constituted an apporopriate bachelorette party in Anya's eyes..." had me laughing. Spike terrifying the football player was vivid, and Buffy's reaction was much softer than expected. Her demeanor has allowed hope to grow, and Dawn is doing an excellent job exploiting it.
I loved the last two lines: "So he did what any demon would have done in the same situation. He killed a few things, drank a lot, and went to bed."
"And then he dreamed."
Excellent set up for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Hee! Can't you just imagine Anya's bachelorette party? Whoa! I hope the next chapter lives up to the lead up. Thanks for the review!
[Report This]Date: 05/03/2006 - 12:02 pm Title: Retrieval
The jar retrieval was vividly described, and using Spike as Giles' mode of transportation made an entertaining image. Spike leaving Giles that note and a bottle of Scotch to find on his return home was inspired.
Giles' "I believe I will send another anonymous letter to the police department" made me laugh out loud even as I was imagining a bulging folder full of his tips at Police Heaquarters. This was another tight chapter.
Author's Response: Giles has to have done something like that. The Scoobies ran across too many bodies and weird stuff to not have called the local (if cruddy) constabulary at least a few times. I bet that's the weirdest police file EVER. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Aww, poor whipped Spike. Hehehe, he's just so cute when he's whipped. Good chapter, can't wait to see what's inside the jar! Whee! =D

Hee! Yes, he certainly is. This chapter was excellent as always, you had me laughing with the interaction between Giles and Spike and now I'm a bit nervous over what repercussions it might bring that Giles touched the jar with his bare hand. Can't wait for more!

Ooh, very interesting choices indeed. I love the pacing in this story. I love how things seem to be progressing between Buffy and Spike and the rest of the Scoobies and Giles. Very nice. Can't wait to find out what their choices in weapons will be. :D
Author's Response: I stuck Spike through enough craziness in the last story that I felt that he earned a few chapters' reprieve as far as his interactions with Buffy and the Scoobies go. ;-) I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing!
[Report This]Date: 04/26/2006 - 03:14 am Title: Dancing Lessons
Such nice interactions amongst them all... I like how Giles is subtly warming to Spike thanks to Meret, and how fighting Spike is helping Buffy get her groove back.
The week after, he started offering Spike advice during the fight, which was so unexpected that the vampire dropped his guard to gawk at the watcher, which earned him a foot in the gut for his troubles.
Hee!
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. One way or the other, I always thought Buffy reacted strongly to fighting, so using it as slayer-therapy made sense to me. thanks for reviewing!

Wednesdays? Ah! Sparring sessions on Wednesday :) And Spike nose will live ;-) Even Giles can learn: he cleared the floor before the fight. Interesting choice of classes Buffy had. :) Loved the chapter, the guessing about the weapons was silly but fun. *gg*

I laughed at Spike's "And the slayer has kindly taken to layin' off my nose." I thoroughly enjoyed this light and entertaining chapter. The exuberance of the sparring match set the tone, and you kept it up throughout the chapter. Buffy's positive attitude and light spirits were a joy to read. Again, the small details really flesh this story out.
Author's Response: I figured I owed the characters a few happy chapters after the last story and before I start messing with them again. Thanks for leaving a review!

I've decided to have a Meret tee-shirt. I've found lots of coatl images on Google, but I want it to be as authentic as possible, Wyvie. So, do you already have an image that you used as inspiration for Meret, and what coulour(s) is she?
*Chrissie interrupts her self-centred tee-shirt making discussion to offer up a wee bit o' feedback on the fanfiction Wyvern's worked so bloomi' hard to create!*
I think you're really capturing Spike's character here, and his interactions with Anya and Giles are spot on. Spike's a lot more sparky in this chapter, not so thoughtful and much more spontaneous.
Buffy's a lot harder to button down so far. She's being too nice. So nice, I'm waiting for the hormones to wash over her. Hopefully Wyvie Buffy is subtly different from canonBuffy, intentionally. I say 'hopefully' because canonBuffy did kind of grate on my nerves at times and this Buffy's far more 'human'.
Went all warm and fuzzy when you described Meret as, ...the most untraditional and unobtrusive babysitter the teenager had ever had .... Made me realise, she's growed up somewhat since ILWS, hasn't she? Now I'm going to be seeing her in a more phoenix-like vision... something of beauty and intelligence to rival Buffy *veg*... Wonder if that's why Buffy's gor a book on Mesoamerican Mythology in her bag?
Delighted that ILWS, and you, has received the fandom recognition it deserves! Congratulations, pet. And the great work continues right here!
Author's Response: Um, take a blood corn snake, the darker the better, and give it a northern cardinel's wings and a crest of feathers down it's spine. Red eyes, black tongue. I guess the closest thing I could find online to my mental image would be this:

Now you have to promise to show me the design!
As for the rest, would I throw a monkey wrench into the works as far as a hormonal Buffy and a conspiring coatl goes? ;-) That would be mean... I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing!
