Author's Response: Thank you! I'll try to update tomorrow, or the day after.

Nice..

Author's Response: Thanks!

I wish I could write like you, Pet. You always seem to have flow, I envy you. Those nightmares are really creepy, I wouldn´t like to have them, poor Spike. Drusilla is really wicked, still haunting him. I hope that he will feel better soon and get rid of his nightmares.

Author's Response: *blush* Thank you so much, that's so nice of you to say. :) And thanks for your review! :)

Ahhh wonderful as always Pet....Now I hope that Spike can over come all his demons as he takes his pleasure in Buffy warm comforts.... Coookies of the Spike Shaped kind for you.... Jeanette....

Author's Response: Ooh, cookies! :) Thanks hon!

Poor Spike. He is so messed up. He really does need to talk to someone. And I think he will when he finally realizes that for him to get pass this he is going to need help that Buffy may not be able to give him. I feel for Spike so much in this story. I too have had so much in my liife that it feels like I was losing my mind. I just want to tell Spike that he isn't wrong and that he is worthy of having good things in his life.

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing!

First thing I have to say is that I just read the 29 chapters almost without interruptions, your story simply was too engaging to stop.

That said, now to my review, I love your story, it's very believable and realistic. I love to read a mature Buffy that's actually being helpful to Spike for once and not running away scared of her fealings. I'm truly enjoying their interaction and the slow evolution of their new relationship. The fact that they both realized that they needed time before advancing to the next level, speaks a lot of the kind of characters you're drawing here.

I was awfully glad when Spike finally told Buffy about Drusilla ad the complicated relationship they had and her reaction to it was just what he needed at that time.

I'm very looking forward to reading more of this wonderful story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Author's Response: You're welcome. :) Thank you so much for your kind words, your review really made my day. I'm really happy to hear that you like my story so far, hopefully you'll enjoy the rest as well. Thank you! :)

spuffyness please

Author's Response: Patience, my friend! *lol*

Love Buffy holding that speech, trying to explain to Spike. And maybe she was successful too (making Spike listening to her). Giles' case will take more time; but if he's patient to wait he'll have a chance I guess.

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing! :)

I'm glad they had that talk. They're so adorable together. I would be so unhappy if they broke up.

Author's Response: So would they. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Aww... The Spuffy interaction at the end of the chapter was sweet. Loved Spike and Buffy's intense conversation, I like how these two kids always seem to talk everything out. Wonderful update!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! :)

please say you have the next chapter ready soon? this was just the evillest place to stop, and you know it! :b
enjoying the fic so far, though i have avoided it for quite a while becauce of the summary, i think it needs a little jazzing up. but oh well, point is i got really into it when i began reading :)
can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks for your opinion. I haven't really seen anything wrong with the summary so far, but I discussed it with my beta and together we made some changes. I'm glad to hear that you like my story aside from that, and more coming up soon. Thanks for reviewing! :)

Ohhhh I liked! Weldone you ! xxx

Author's Response: Thanks hon! :)

Tough girl Buffy.. knows how to react to Spike's moods...I would have probably screemed and walked out the door in frustration.

Ended well.

Enjoying.

Author's Response: Good. :) Thank you!
