This reads like the calm before the storm, loved the way Buffy and Spike have bloomed into a natural playfulness in their moments and the way Joyce has declared her love. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Hi Vette, we have the smut out of the way now so I think there might be some plot now - I want to play with Angelus for a little while - evil grin***

Good way to end the chapter: reminding us all that any fluff is only a brief respite from the darkening cloud that is Angelus.
Nice work.
Author's Response: Thanks tis-kit. There will be some plot on its way as I want to play with Angelus for a little while......

Just caught up with last two chapters. Poor Faith Angelus really did a number on her didn't he? Clem is wonderful. Very hot btwn Spike and Buffy. Loved it. I wonder how they will react to Craven's death? Ooh I cant wait for more!!!
Author's Response: HI Mag-rose, Clem gave me the impression on the show that he would be a wonderful friend and companion so I wrote him that way. I am glad you liked it. The smut was well overdue I think, sometime I just get stuck with the plot muse and I try my best to move on

Author's Response: Hi daydreamer - neither do I but time will tell. Thanks for staying with the fic babes, it is fast turning into a saga.

Author's Response: Thanks Sarah G, we all know what's wrong with Angelus - he's a total wanker. I love writing him as an evil prick cos that is what he is. As for Dru, she is just a ho-bag that deserves total nastiness - which will happen, honey, I promise

good chapter
Author's Response: Thank you Day dreamer. I know there has not been a lot of B&S, but the next chapter is almost ready and that will be almost all about them

Found this story and I couldn't stop reading it. Absolutely wonderful characterization + plot. All the twists and turns keep me enthralled. You've brought the characters to life in a new way. Can't wait to see more.
Author's Response: Hi Billie Rose, There will be more going up very soon as I just can't stop writing. This is my first fic and I am gobsmacked over the number of readers who are enjoying it. Please keep reading and reviewing - it really does help to feed the muse cos right now she has been a lazy bint

Date: 01/21/2007 - 04:36 pm Title: Calm before the storm
good update
Author's Response: Thanks again luv, Although we have kind of slowed down the B&S just now, it is necessary for the plot. Thanks for sticking with it babes, you're a star

How evil is Angelus?!! I would love to see Faith obtain some well deserved revenge. Is Anya about perchance?
Wonderfully heartening turn of events between Faith and Clem. Also delighted that Craven is no more; however I my unease over Angelus' imminent actions is escalating...
Author's Response: HI tis-kit, I am just SOOO evil. I know most fics concentrate on Buffy and Spike, and sometimes it can be predictable cos you ALWAYS know they will live happy ever after, I wanted totry something different by showing how Angelus affects so many people. We do have a bit to go yet so please keep reading and thank you so much for your review

oh dear lord
Author's Response: nasty eh! - keep reading and see how she deals with him - it's a cracker

Date: 01/21/2007 - 01:24 pm Title: Realisations
haven't i been saying how evil Dru is? 'bout time William noticed. now if he can only stay away from her....
Author's Response: He needs to luv, keep reading - she will get get whats coming

Date: 01/21/2007 - 12:35 pm Title: Calm before the storm
Oh calm indeed.......for news of the bastard Craven's death has yet to be told......giving Xander his title, estate, and all its riches.........
Angel must die.......before he touches Buffy, LOL....can I do it please, pretty please.......LOL
Author's Response: Hi Kimber, Angel is a sod but he is needed just now - I have such nice plans for him. LOL

NO WILLIAM!! DON'T GO TO THE DARK SIDE!!
Author's Response: Aw honey, keep reading - he will redeem himself - I promise

Date: 01/21/2007 - 11:56 am Title: Introductions
Gee don't you hate parents that try to marry off their offspring.
Author's Response: Hi babes, it happened all the time then and they thought nothing of it - not a nice period in history for women. the more research I did to try and get stuff authentic, the more the plot grew as I wanted to shoe the injustice of that time too

Date: 01/21/2007 - 11:23 am Title: Calm before the storm
Shudders on Angelus and his evil scheme's. He has ice water for blood and coal for a heart. He truly is evil personified. I wonder how Catherine managed under his attentions. Great chapter...thanks!
Author's Response: Hi Vette, how you doing babes. I will be following all that up later. I will be updating like a mad woman this week as I am on holiday from work - yeah me

Date: 01/21/2007 - 11:00 am Title: Calm before the storm
Can I say I hate him. I so would like to rejoice, but because of Angelus, I can't... that's unfair.
Author's Response: Hi Alex,Angelus will be making more of a nuisance of himself soon. The family don't know about the Duke as yet - that should be fun........

Date: 01/21/2007 - 03:47 am Title: Craven's Loss
Good riddance, can't say I will miss him... what wories me is that on top of being evil, Angelus seems clever. Now he has a good alibi. The suspense is killing me, and since it is what you aim for ( I guess), all I can say is: good job! (Oh, and I hope the horse is all right!)
Author's Response: Hi Alex, just shows how much the man will be missed as you are not the first to ask about the horse. LOL. I promise the horse will be just fine. I will make sure I mention it in the next chapter. I think the bloody thing should get a medal - don't you?

Date: 01/21/2007 - 02:39 am Title: Craven's Loss
Hi!
I really love your story. It's well written, diferrent, sexy and very engaging. In fact i read all the 62 chapters in one seating! I'm just dismayed with Chapter 15, i couldnt accept reading any story about sexual intercourse with another man. Good thing that it is only one chapter and Spike was able to wake up immediately from continuing with this kind of relationship with Drusilla. It's revolting really. I could accept Spike being a womanizer but a homo? No way!
I cant wait to see the next chapters! I know you are the writer but if i could make a request? Please dont make another chapter like Chapter 15. Please!!!
Author's Response: Don't worry luv, chapter 15 will NOT be repeated. It was used to show how much that horrible cow controlled him to the point where he did everything she said, but did not always remember it. I hope you liked Betrothal Ball where she got a taste of her own medicine. I hate the bitch too. She is a dirty slut-bag and deserves to be where she is

good update
Author's Response: Thank you Luv, There will be more very soon. I have been busy this weekend, but now I am on leave and there will be updates - I promise

Date: 01/20/2007 - 02:18 pm Title: Craven's Loss
Is it me or is it wrong for me to be happy that Craven is finally dead and by his horse no less? Well, I think it was the perfect way to die by an animal that I'm sure like most people in his life he pushed to the limit. But as I do a happy dance, I'm still afraid for the other people not just Buffy and Spike, but Clem, Faith, Dawn, Xander, Annandale, Joyce and even Giles. Despite those thoughts as usual you delivered a great chapter! Oh, I know they're fictional characters but I pray for their safety. I hope that you had a good rest! Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Thanks Orchid - hopefully another chappy later. having dinner first with the family before I write, and write and write........

Date: 01/20/2007 - 08:25 am Title: Craven's Loss
Damn, Craven's death was too bland and so NOT one he deserved......it should've been more bloody and at the hands of Angelus......I still tremble at how Buffy will be treated in that monsters hands.......if he does get a hold of her and no immediate rescue.........
Author's Response: HI Kimber, we have to start small in order to build it up. He has many people in his mind to sort out yet. Thanks so much for coming back here to review as I could not respond on AFF and I am so glad to be able to thank you for your continual support. If you noticed I dedicated a chapter to you in thanks. There will be more soon - I promise

Date: 01/20/2007 - 03:57 am Title: Craven's Loss
one down, how many to go? Great chapter, but that lady cathrine won't be happy with her decision. *hugs*
Author's Response: Hi Eve, there are many to go, but how many before the wedding - that's the question
