Happy for you that Hubby will be home soon.
Had to chuckle at Lorne and Anya.. leave it to her to satisfy her man in "that" way. And I guess she gets hers too.
And finally, bliss with our favorite couple. Dork and bad boy rolled into one.. Clydesdale? and in love .. couldn't ask for more!
Author's Response: Thanks hon, I'll be relieved to get him back and of course I'm sure my muse will enjoy 'having' him too - inspiration and all, lol. Lornya was just too great a temptation for me not to go there. They' both have such strong personalities and I thought yeah - sparks would probably fly if those two made it between the sheets. I'm glad you liked the update hon and thanks so much for the great review. Huggles.

Already reading it, hon!
Smart is indeed very sexy.....he's got all the insides to go with that pretty outside. I'll miss this story when it's done. And yay for Anya and Lorne! :D
So glad for you that you get your hubby back.
(Guess who's going to the CD launch event for James! Squee!)
Author's Response: LOL, indeed smart can be very hot. Sometimes my hubby wears glasses when reading and I sit there and watch him as he absorbed in his book and mouthing the words silently to myself... gives me chivers in a naughty place, giggles. Yup, I'll be super glad to have him back stateside - huge relief too. THeir nuts over there. Some of the shit he's told me is unbelievable. YAY - you're going to meet James! You'll enjoy it of course, he's hot in person. You'll have to tell me how it goes. Thanks for the review hon, hugs.

Mmmmmmmm.........YUMMY as always. You can make ANYTHING to eat scrumptious!!!! (Puts me in the mind to eat something Geek.... I mean Greek.....oh, whichever....! Unfortunately, my old worn down, brung down former jock might have something to say about that....but then again, he'd jump thru hoops for a platterr of hummus & tabouli w/pita....me, I like to wrap things up in grape leaves with lemon sauce.....)
Anyway, sorry to find this is coming to a close. Have just adored it, and followed it from the first with bated breath. (And kept that cop piccie on my desktop for the longest time (til THAT version of the perpetual ongoing Dell computer crash issue happened---just linked it again yesterday...and have a laptop back for as long as this one lasts...)
I anxiously await the epilogue and the couple's and their circle of buds' happiness and contentment. I will mourn with drama as great as that which Lorne himself could demonstrate, the loss of future chappies of this fic......BUT will hopefully be rewarded with others of us IBE fans with a NEW fic sometime soon, yes???!!!! Please say yes!
BTW, besides marriage, especially one so swiftly done, do Anya and Lorne have something else held a secret from their original night of indiscretion by any chance?
Here endeth the rant now, and thanks again for the fic(s)....

Author's Response: LMAO, you are too funny, had me rofl with the geek/greek comment. I dated the same guy all through highschool (unfortunetly) so I never got to date the geeky types I found cute... damnit! I'm super happy you've liked the entire story sweety. It's been fun to write but I am looking forward to working on some other fics I'm trying to ready for posting. Hmmmm, let's see. After TE and IAN are wrapped up, I'll be going back to updating what dreams may come (it's gonna be a short one), but other than that I'm pretty sure the next post I'll put out is Murphy's Law. It all depends on my muse of course and how far he gets with my projects. So other titles to look for when the time comes are Striptease and How to Find a Wife in Ten Days. As for any more secrets in the Lornya dept, not much other than they got together the very night of the Halloween party, hee hee. Oh the cop piccie was nice - I'm all for handcuffs if the officer looks like that, giggles. Thanks for the lovely review darling - hugs you tight.

Wow, I never had homework when in Kindergarten. They already have to work! :) I hope your husband can stay for a while (has he to go back?). Alas, have fun getting everything perfect *off to read*
Awe Spike wanted to make the cake perfect, huh? And Buffy not only got the cake to eat she wanted the other day she had the pleasure watching Spike making it.
(Oh Anya's secret will be told. Should get interesting.)
*g* Tease ;-) Buffy bleached William's hair again. He really believes Buffy that he can be both, Spike and William.
Oh! Unexpected :-D Anya caught herself Lorne. Never expected to see a marriage between the two. They know how to keep a secret :)
(Fine professor, huh? I guess you've already heart he'll do some more episodes.) HOT :-D
Loved the update; sad to see it end soon. Have a nice day yourself!
Author's Response: I know... the nerve, giving poor little 5 year olds work - pooey! Ughh - see, the thing is, my hubby won't be living with us because his duty station is in Hawaii. He'll go there first from Iraq, then come to see us for 3 weeks, then go back to work. He'll be flying hom every 6-8 weeks to spend time with us over the next year or so and THEN he has to deploy for a year in Afghanistan. After all that, he's ready to get out and come home to be with his family. And we're soooooo ready to have him home permanently too. Giggles - a little Lornya thing there, but it works for them. I couldn't resist. Professor Fine makes another appearence,:-O, really???? I never heard about that... we're talking smallville, this next season, omg - THUD!, faints then picks self up again. I so hope you're not teasing me.Thanks for the lovely review sweety. Hope to hear from you soon. Smooches

Damned hot is what this chapter is, especially that last part. It doesn't matter how many times I read it, it's still wonderful. Funny, loving, hot. I just loved the misleading scene with the bleaching of his hair, the little glimpse into what their everyday life will be, the Lornya (you know I did love it from the moment I saw the possibility of it), and that last scene, god it was divine. I'll be sorry to see this story end, I'll miss it so much. *sniffles* Although I do know there'll be others, this has a very special place in my heart and it's always been a pleasure to help you with it. *smooches*
Author's Response: Giggles, thankee, hon. I couldn't do it without you, I really couldn't. I'll be sad to see it end too, but at least I'll have more time to play with other fics, grins. Thank you so much - kisses.

WOW!!! I am an ardent fan of yours. ardent because each time i read your work i am definitley left with a very warm feeling! Erotica thy name is im_bloody_english!!!! I've gotten as far as chapter 22 of tailored encounters and i desperately pray the muses will inspire you to update the remaining chapters, preferably quickly!!! I can hardly wait to acquaint myself with more of your work.
Author's Response: omg - I'm blushing. Thank you so much sweety. I'm really glad you're enjoying TE and do hope you'll like In the ARMY Now and my little French trilogy. I'll be updating TE here shortly. The next chapter is nearly complete and the epilogue I have after that is 3/4 written as well. So not too much longer before it's finished and then my epi chapter for IAN too. Thank you so much for the lovely review - my muse is tickled pink right now. Smooches to you hon.

That last paragraph. Writing doesn't get any better, any more beautiful than that. A reunion well worth waitng for.
Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you sweety, I really appreciate it. Smooches to you.

Date: 09/19/2007 - 06:32 pm Title: Sweet Surrender
OMG!!!!!! This was extrememly good!!! I was about to die though when it took them like FOREVER to go after each other, but man(!) this was freakin' awesome!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it hon. Yes it did take them forever but a good reunion and a reasonable amount of realistic time hopefully. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Hugs and kisses.

I've been a bad, bad girl. I was leaving for the weekend, so I printed all the chapters I hadn't had time to read yet, and read them while I was away. As a writer who loves reviews, I know the right thing to do would be to go back and leave a review for every chapter, but I didn't write notes about what I wanted to say so I'd have to reread the whole thing in order to make sense. I figured I'd just leave you a long one instead. So here it is. Wow, you really uped the angst level since the last review I left. But it's all good because the rollercoaster ride was fun. Wesley made me nervous. I was wondering if you would "go there" if you know what I mean. I'm too big a Spuffy freak to enjoy "Buffy/Other" or "Spike/Other" My poor heart gets really unhappy. But thank God you ended the thing with Wesley pretty quickly. And it was a funny nod to BtVS too :) The infamous kiss between Wesley and Cordelia lol. Loved it. Too bad Spike had to see Buffy kissing Wesley. Poor baby. I just adored Giles and Jenny. They were so sweet and well intentioned. I'm glad they didn't blame Buffy for their nephew's condition and instead, tried to help her. Too bad it blew up in her face in the end. God Spike can be stubborn! Drunk Spike is even worse. What he said to Buffy in the pub was really harsh. That poor girl. Can't blame her for giving up and going back to California. I was a little disappointed that you decided to buy into the non-canon trend of calling Buffy "Elizabeth" Sorry, just being honest. It didn't take away from the fic, but it did make me pause. Oh well, my issues. I loved how Oz played a part in getting Buffy and Spike back together after Angelus showed up. God that man is an ass. The things that comes out of his mouth... Talking about Angelus here, not Oz lol. Oh yeah, and the first date after they got back together. So amazingly sweet! When she said "Happy birthday, baby" I almost melted lol. So, I think that covers it. Very impressive fic. I don't usually read all human fics. I did once upon a time, but got sick of it. But this one is just fabulous my dear. I really hope it's not over yet because I need more. Update soon.
Author's Response: No worries at all hon - I adored this giant review from you. Yeah, I kinda don't care for spike or buffy/other myself. That doesn't mean I may not write it in the future in another fic, but for now, no - I hate seeing that. Glad you got thru the angst - I so hated writing that. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by the 'Elizabeth' thing since she's mostly refered to as Buffy... bad memory here when I'm trying to focus on future chapters I suppose. But it's all good - all spuffy in the end. And yes, enter Angelus and then Oz to (verbally) knock some sense into Spike - lol. I'm really glad you gave my little AU a try and are still enjoying it sweety. I love getting your reviews, its like a fresh pair of eyes. THank you so much. Hugs.

Date: 09/17/2007 - 08:41 pm Title: Sweet Surrender
Hee, you know I'm alwayshappy to help you in whatever you need, daling. *smooches* Loved the way you showed us this glimpse of Spike and Buffy making love, but still retaining all those characteristics that have made us fall in love with this story. I'm looking forward to the last chapters, even if I truly don't want the story to end.
Author's Response: Thanks for putting up with me my friend. I'm not sure what I would without you. Smooches.

Date: 09/16/2007 - 10:04 pm Title: Sweet Surrender
Loved it! Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you sweety.

Date: 09/16/2007 - 02:40 am Title: Sweet Surrender
blissful reprise. The last 2 words say it all. That was romantic, sweet and sexy (I need a smoke! ). I loved the update. Mostly I love that you had Spike connect with her and zero in on her fear and then you showed just how intune with each other they were with his saying I know pet, I know and Buffy immediately understanding that he too was afraid of what the future would bring, but hey, none of know what the future holds (hello - it's the future and the physic friends network just isn't what it used to be!).
Can't imagine why you might have been less than gthrilled with this chap. Oh, and how totally cute that you played on how long its been since they've had sex so she's extra tight for his big size, kinda makes it all "first-time"ish. I loved it.
Well wonderful lady, normally, I'd prattle on and on, however, we've had quite a chatty night and its now 12:40 on the west coast so way past this gramma's bedtime. So, believe it or not, I'm gonna cut this short and say - It was great, you shouldn't have worried. Stellar as always, thanks so much for sharing your talent and your friendship! Hugs (eskimo kiss for muse). nite-nite.
Author's Response: Hee hee - as if they were only going to do it once. I'm glad you liked the chapter sweety - it was a super toughie for me. First-timish indeed, of course she'll probably never get usedt o his size, but that's not a bad thing either, giggles. Yup - we did chat quite a bit the other night, prattling on about everyting and then nothing, LMAO - its good to gossip every once in awhile. Thanks for the lovely review my friend, hope to chat with you again sometime soon. Smooches.

Author's Response: So what's your point? ROFL - just kidding, I had a great chuckle to see how much you loved it and of course blushed. THank you so much sweety. Huggles.

wow wow weewowow nicely written chapter ; ] very sweet and romantic nice setting that fit the two it was a well deserved atmosphere :D good job :"D im blushing from the intensity of the moment hehe
Author's Response: Cool - I'm glad you enjoyed the romanticism of the atmosphere, its not an easy thing to achieve, at least not for me, lol. Thanks so much for the review darling. Hugs.

Date: 09/14/2007 - 07:56 pm Title: Sweet Surrender
Yup, saw other review response. I wish this place had a notifier when authors respond to your reviews, like BSV and other places *sigh* And you want to read MY craptastic fics? *dies*
And fire away - my email is blood_faerie@night-bites.com
Author's Response: That would be interesting to have that sort of alert. I never thought about it before. Well I'm glad we had a chance to connect now via email - and we'll just have to keep the secret until I'm ready, *winks*. Thank you hon. Smoochies to you.

Date: 09/14/2007 - 03:12 pm Title: Sweet Surrender
Another great chapter.
You always seem to get just the right mix of smut, fluff angst etc to make everything you write totally unmissable.
Want more. Want it now!
Sorry - channelling my inner cavewoman there; please update soon. Pretty please with sugar on top?
Author's Response: Thank you so much hon. It was a toughie for me to try and blend the sweet with the romantic for them after the nautre of all their previous encounters, or sexcapades as the case may be, lol. Hahahahha, I'll work hard on trying to get the next chapter out to ya as soon as I can. Thanks again for such a lovely review. Smooches.

Date: 09/14/2007 - 11:02 am Title: Jealousy
I love that there's angst, but you don't overdo it. It feels natural in the story, not forced or dragging on and on. Just the perfect amount. When there's too much of it and no romance to balance things out, I tend to give up on story. Definitely not going to happen here lol. Love it. I just wish Lorne would have told her that Spike quit. Damn you Lorne! lol
Author's Response: Oh good - because the angst I did have to write was agonizing to my system, a real toughie to get through. Glad it hasn't chased you off sweety and thanks for another wonderful review. Huggles.

They are so cute together. I have a feeling it won't last, but I'm enjoying it. I'm a big romantic.
Author's Response: Giggles, well, it'll be a rough road to spuffy, but I'll get them there, I promise. THanks for the review darling. Hugs.

Date: 09/14/2007 - 12:18 am Title: Sweet Surrender
loved it lots and lots. this chapter was a nice break away from my crazy life. i thank you so much for sharing and hope that u post soon, cuz damn, if the next few chapters are as hot and sweet as this one was, you gotta post soon!!!! great job.
Author's Response: HAhahahha, I'll try to update soon. There's definetely more spuffy luvin in their future before calling it a day. Glad you liked the chappy sweety, thanks so much for the review. Smoochies.

Just checking in. RL still being a pain in the neck. However, I will always make an exception for your marvellous stories. I am so sad that TE had to end you will never know how much it has helped me in my private life. From the first chapter I was totally enthralled. I hope some day you can take up writing as a 'career' as I can't wait for the day I can buy and read books written by you. I look eagerly to your next fanfic.
Author's Response: Sorry to hear RL is being tough on you right now... but of course glad I could bring you some entertainment to hopefully cheer you up/take your mind off things for awhile. As for a career in writing - that would be simply lovely, a dream come true. I'll be focusing on epublishing first thoug, giggles, baby steps as it were. Thanks for the lovely review my friend - hugs you tight and don't let RL wear you down too much.

Date: 09/13/2007 - 10:22 pm Title: Surprises
Every woman needs a gay friend lol. Buffy and Lorne are sooo cute together! And I love how he bought her a dress and shoes to make up for the money she paid him for the night that wasn't. And it's so great that he told her a little bit more about William. Can't you tell I'm excited? lol :D
Author's Response: So true, so true. But I don't have one, sighs. Thus I write Lorne. YAY - I like you excited, it makes me excited and full of anticipation to see your reaction to Buffy's planned out night with Spike, *winks*. Thanks for all your reviews darling - I'm getting addicted to them. Huggles.

Oh my God, I should have known Buffy would get his words all twisted. Figures. That poor girl needs help... I think it's the bleach that seeped into her brain. Love her, but darn! Loved the scene with Riley. And oh my God, the guy Willow wanted Buffy to meet was William?? I have to say, I didn't see that one coming lol. Fun read.
Author's Response: LOL - yup - ever the gal who doesn't get the real message. Misunderstandings abound. Oh good - glad you liked Riley's entrance here and the surprise that William was who Oz/Willow wanted to hook her up with, giggles - can't resist putting a twist in the mix. Thanks for the review hon. Smoochies to you.
