LOL at Giles!
Ah, good ol' misunderstandings.....at least Spiike is just as stubborn as Buffy if you point him in the right direction.
Author's Response: LOL, that's very true, He truly is a stubborn vamp. ;) Thank you so much for your comment, darling!

Thank god Anne knocked some sense into Spike!! He needed a nice kick in the butt, making decisions affecting Buffy without Buffy. Sounds like something a certain broody character would do and I just couldn't take it if my favorite vampire left Buffy because of some phooey excuse.
I absolutely LOVEEEEE this fic. I can't wait for their real perfect night. I'm sure it'll be amazing!!! I just love this fic. Hehe. Can't wait for more!!!!
Author's Response: *giggles* Yep,Anne only lacked the smack on the head. Thank you so much for your lovely review, I'm so glad you've enjoyed it up until this point. I just hope I don't disappoint with thier perfect night.

Author's Response: Thank you, sweetie! I'm glad you enjoyed. Hee, I loved writing Anne and Giles in this chapter, they were too fun for me. :D And I love that you liked the Spuffy scene and forceful Spike. :D

I know you said you were only going to do one more chapter, but If I may suggest...
Do two more. One with the claiming and whatnot and the last like, fifty years in the future, to show how "eternity" is treating the love birds... :)
Author's Response: Hee, I plan on doing two. One for the claimingi and the other will be a sort of epilogue, just not quite. Plus the lovely Sotia has suggested I could do a few one-shots through the years, so I' might try to do that. Thank you so much for reviewing!

Enjoyed..
And tell IBE we are waiting for her next story.. and hope she is doing well in her new home with hubby and kids..
Author's Response: Hee, claiming and special night are coming, with any luck over the weekend. Thank you for reviewing and told IBE and I imagine by now you've already read her new story. :D

God, woman, I loved this chapter. I'm glad Buffy finally listened to him and you have me anxiously awaiting the next chapter. I'm still fanning myself from when Spike got all growly and ripped the door off. Damn, that was hot;)
Author's Response: Yay! I'm glad you loved the chapter. :D Hee, he's quite something when he gets all growly, isn't he? *sighs dreamily* Thanks for your lovely comment, darling!

Date: 01/23/2008 - 09:30 pm Title: Chapter 20. Post Neo-Expressionism

Awwwhhhh tear!!!!! You got a few out of me with this chapter! The little cohorts in crime Giles and Anne! I can almost visualize Giles leaning against the trunk smoking (kinda like in Band Candy) with attitude and all. I was half waiting for Anne to smack Spike upside the head! And Spike?!?!?! Boy would I love to have him go all GRRRR on me!!!! {{{offers neck willingly}}} Great chappie once again!!!! Now, I can go tend my wounds/bruises that I got from watching your back!!! I can't wait unitl the next chapter!!!! Hugs~n~Kisses
Author's Response: Awww, sorry for making you tear up. Hee, it's a pity I didn't think of Anne smacking Spike, it would've been funny. *giggles* Thank you so much for your lovelylcomment! *hugs you carefully and kisses each wound/bruise better* Mari

absolutely loved it. Brilliant! Wish I had a man like that! So well written that I could see it all unfolding in my mind! More please!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you, what a lovely review. I'm glad you think so. :D More soon, I promise.

Date: 01/23/2008 - 09:09 pm Title: Chapter 20. Post Neo-Expressionism
I know I don't always review, but I must tell you this is one of my favorite stories........it is bloody amazing!!! You are articulate, detailed, and have great progression of the characters as well as the story. Your chapters are not short........something that shows in a seasoned writer, I don't mind cliff hangers as long as getting there is part of the fun, too many writers have very short chapters, I like to read and savor and not have it over before it has really begun, so bravo on that as well. You also have an amazing beta, IBE is great, so as your beta please tell her I also appreciate her contributions. So I look forward to the "claim", and I want to say great job and thanks
Debbie
Author's Response: Awww, thank you for your lovely words, Debbie! *blushes and beams* I'm so happy this is one of your favorite stories. And that you enjoy how I'm writing it. And yes, I have the most amazing beta in the universe, I agree and I already told her, no worries. And thank you again. *hugs* Mari

*Sniffs*, the a/n made me cry just as much as the tender reunion you gave Buffy and Spike at the end. God how I adored Anne's sharp tongue and Giles........... super funny, totally cracked me up. Buffy was justified in her rantings but of course I'm happy she relented to Spike's tactics of kissing some sense INTO her, giggles. A truly, superb A-1 chapter sweety. Rubs hands together excitedly for the next chapter - oh yeah, you just KNOW its going to be mui cliente... mucho amor, mi hermanita,. Hope i got that right.
Author's Response: Awwww, didn't mean to make you cry, but I told you I was inspired. *hugs* You inspire my muse and I to keep trying and not give up, so many things I am thankful for with you, darling. Thank you again for everything. *besos* Te amo, hermanita! And yep, you got it very right, it, I have a wonderful Spanish student. ;)

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday! It's finally here! I'm going to be hitting refresh all day in anticipation of the next chapter! :)
Author's Response: *lol* I probably will update later tonight. I have a few things to do before, including trying to write a little more of chapter 21. ;)

Date: 01/22/2008 - 07:14 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
I read it twice it was so good! ;)
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. :D

Date: 01/22/2008 - 05:56 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
You are soooo evil that it actually scares me!!!!! you can not leave me hanging like this!!! you better update soon......or else *evil glare*
Author's Response: *giggles* I scare myself sometimes. *winks* No worries next chapter will be up ver soon. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/22/2008 - 04:30 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
LOVED IT!! :D
Author's Response: Yay! I'm glad! Thanks for reviewing!

Awe :) Buffy guessed right, Spike is smitten with the dress and even more the woman inside it!
But Spike looks stunning too.
Oh my... I saw the misunderstanding unfold itself and them getting deeper into it. After Buffy took Spike's answer as rejection Spike could only dig him deeper in the hole he opened.
Very good news to know the next chapter is ready to post. Soon?
Author's Response: Yeah, they were both smitten until misunderstanding happened. *sighs* vnext chapter will be posted very soon, I promise. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/21/2008 - 03:42 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
I couldn't review each chapter, I was racing through them so fast...but , please, please, please next chapter?!?!?! I LOVE IT!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you, darling. I'm so happy you're enjoying the story so much!

Date: 01/21/2008 - 02:34 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
¿Qué? ¿Cómo ¿Qué? ¿Pero por qué? *snif, snif*
Que desastre, pero por qué este hombre no ha podido pensar un poquito antes de soltar un No, tan descarado, vaya lio.....
Ya puedes ir saliendo de tu lugar supuer secreto y escribir algo para arreglarlo ¬¬.....
Author's Response: *lol* Por què? Bueno, porque tenìa que pasar. Spike nunca pensò en quedarse con ella por siempre, porque no creìa merecerla. De todas maneras, no creo que vaya a seguir siendo tan testarudo por mucho màs tiempo. ;) Gracias por tu review!

Date: 01/21/2008 - 02:03 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
Two words.................Perfect Twist
Author's Response: Thank you so much, darling! I'm ecstatic you think so!

Date: 01/21/2008 - 01:46 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
Nice twist, I never saw that one coming... As long as there will be a happy ending, I'm happy :)
Author's Response: Hee, it's good that I could surprise you with it, then. And no worries, there'll be a happy ending, no doubts about that. :D

Date: 01/21/2008 - 01:45 pm Title: Chapter 19. Neo Expressionism
Lordy, how matters of the heart get all jumbled with the head interferes. Think she had a bad case of the pot calling the kettle black when she accused him of only seeing & understanding what he wants to. Really think it's her that's not understanding what he's trying to tell her. And, please Lord, let Spike stop Giles from taking her back to London. Lordy, this has me so on the edge of my seat, that I'm going to be haunting this place til the next updates posted. (BTW, I love Echoes, as well, and you're wrong. This story is just as good as Echoes. Congrats on the awards!)
Author's Response: That's so very true, how matters of the heart get all jumbled when the head interferes. Keep in mind, though, Buffy is very young, around 24-25 I think, and just got rejected, when she'd been absolutely sure that would never happen. She was hurt, thinking he just wanted to use her, which was an honest mistake, really. Spike didn't handle it much better, I think. I promise you won't have to wait endlessly until this is resolved, though. I hope to post the next chapter a little later tonight (Wednesday). Thanks for reviewing and for what you told at the end. *blushes*
