Love the sparring. Another way for them to bond. The most important way save for the blood. Second sexiest, too. :)
Author's Response: Buffy and Spike just keep getting thrown into all these physical situations, LOL. Blood, sparring...anything to bring them closer!

Date: 01/20/2009 - 12:02 am Title: 40 Gatherings
I do adore their banter. They just have a special connection.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

On the bright side, they did take out the master. Damn unpleasant ritual that one.
Author's Response: That ritual just kept on going... Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/19/2009 - 11:37 pm Title: 38 Acclimations
Giles getting started on the training and beginning to figure out that his new charge may have a few secrets of her own. And Dru has figured out that there is a new slayer and someone trapped in the sunshine. Looking to see where that goes.
Author's Response: Yes, Dru seems to know what's going on, though she doesn't know that she knows. Thanks for reviewing!

Glad he found a place that was pretty Buffy friendly. He really is all about her, and he hasn't quite figured it all out yet. And his thoughts about meeting up with his old family, perhaps in need of a bit of closure, but he truly has become his own vamp... except for the fact that he's really Buffy's. :)
Author's Response: No crypt for this Spike, LOL. I never liked how, in the show, Angel got the cool little apartment and the mansion (not to mention what he got on his own show--but then, it was his show) while Spike had the factory (which was okay), a crypt, and the school basement. But it wouldn't really make sense for this Spike to live in a crypt, anyway. But yes, he's got to find a Buffy friendly place because he very much is Buffy's vamp. :)

Got to go, so I'll just say WOW and YAY!!! Can't wait for more!
*hugs*
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 01/15/2009 - 08:18 pm Title: 36 Insights
Spike asleep on her floor. Can't believe that the big teddy bear just wants to make sure she's okay.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/15/2009 - 08:08 pm Title: 35 Tastes
That damn sexy blood sucking thing. Indeed they are closer doing that than anything else. So very deep all of the thoughts that went along with it. Though I wonder what it was that Spike thought of? Perhaps how he very much doesn't want to see her dead, ever? Love their growing connection.
Author's Response: It was time for some sexy blood sucking. :) Buffy might not have realized just how close she and Spike were going to get during biting. Spike's thoughts coming up soon! Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/15/2009 - 06:22 pm Title: 74 Assurances
Ah, and the truth comes out. She's been drugged. Not that we all didn't know that already. But I like the way you've written the Cruciamentum plot thread. The story continues to be wonderful.
Author's Response: Yes, the truth comes out... I'm glad you like how I've written it. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/15/2009 - 01:36 am Title: 74 Assurances
Awesome chapter! Great reminder that their relationship began before she was the Slayer; that although their super strength enhances them as individuals, it's what they feel for each other outside of the Slayer/Vampire realm that makes what they have special. Love the ending. Excellent way to fnd out about the Cruciamentum.
Author's Response: Thank you! One of the reasons I wanted to do the Cruciamentum was to sort of bring it back to the beginning, and have Buffy as she was without her powers. And I'm glad you liked how they found out she'd been drugged. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 02:22 am Title: 34 Agreements
I simply love everything about their relationship. They have such a level of honesty that really only came to play in the series after Buffy was first back from heaven before the wild sexcapades. And we get it here, when there is trust and feelings, but not a whole big actual muddled up relationship. Not that I don't imagine they will muddle up a relationship in the future, but now, they have nothing to lose. It's some kind of poetry, and I'm very glad that I decided to read this story. Totally in love with the story. Will totally be back tomorrow!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, this Buffy and Spike ended up having a very honest relationship. They still have issues, and they will mess up at times in the future. I'm glad you're liking the story so much, and that you decided to try it. Thanks for reading!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 02:11 am Title: 33 Histories
Love Giles giving her the history. They already have completely mastered the whole Giles/Buffy banter thing. And Spike has it figured out. Wonder what they're gonna do now. Love that there is already so much drama.
Author's Response: Thank you! Introducing Giles and the Scoobies was one of the hardest parts for me on this fic. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 02:03 am Title: 32 Meetings
Well Buffy sure didn't know she was pitting Spike up against family. I still wonder if he knew, or knows. Said he didn't know where Dru was. Could surely stand to reason, and that will be one hell of a surprise.
Author's Response: Nope, Spike doesn't know where Dru (or anyone) is. Bad surprises in store... Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 01:56 am Title: 31 Adjustments
Well, they made it. Now we just need a few introductions. Wonder if Spike knows he's going to be around family in Sunnyhell?
Author's Response: Oh, Spike has no idea. And that's what makes it fun, LOL.

Date: 01/14/2009 - 01:48 am Title: 30 Contracts
Buffy in Sunnydale and no Spike. Poor Wesley. Ever the optimist. Love that he caught them sparring, and that it's throwing him. Can take the man out of the council but can't take the watcher out of the man.
Author's Response: Poor Wesley must remain in the dark. He'd have a heart attack if he knew what Buffy had done. :)

Date: 01/14/2009 - 01:39 am Title: 29 Admissions
I love them striking this massive, personal, life altering deal in such an incredibly platonic way, as if they're talking about a relationship between two other people at times. And this Buffy is already so conniving. I really like her. Like her will to live. Her desire to be the best. Really are two peas in a pod. And the ramblings of Dru. Naughty Angelus. So very good.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked their deal. Buffy and Spike are both going in to this somewhat detached, but you know the longer they're together, the more their feelings will come out. And Dru and Angelus have no idea what to expect... Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 01:29 am Title: 28 Sessions
Our little girl's got some balls on her. I love that she has cut right to a chase that I don't even think Spike has thought of yet. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to see what he does.
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Buffy just jumped right in. Her question stopped Spike in his tracks, I think. :)

Date: 01/14/2009 - 01:21 am Title: 27 Burdens
And reality has sunk in. For both of them. Not quite sure what they want in life. Eventually they'll figure something out. The struggle sure is entertaining though. Another intense chapter. Amazing drama and very appropriate character reactions. Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you for the compliments! Yes, Buffy and Spike have a lot of things to figure out, both between them and with what they want. I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 12:43 am Title: 26 Decisions
Makes sense. Pull a few strings, try to make things easy. Get the triple X rated slayer cliff notes on Faith. All fits together. So glad you're sharing Faith's story here, too.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like Faith. There will be some more of her coming up later. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 12:36 am Title: 25 Moves
A possible real watcher, a reason to move, and more blood play with the bleached wonder. Always something, ain't it. Great chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 12:29 am Title: 24 Predators
And she has realized that he can choose. Such a fine line, but not quite sure what that line divides. No near end to the Buffy and Spike drama. Thank god. :)
Author's Response: Don't worry, the drama continues for some time. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 12:21 am Title: 23 Glimpses
A slayer dream tied to a "feeling" word and an underworld crime boss fearing the strong girl and the "thing that followed her." Another few things to tie together later. Wonder when she'll figure out about Spike, and how she'll feel about it. One of a kind vamp indeed. Great chapter. Taking to the Slayer like a duck to water...
Author's Response: There are several things that still have to come together... And Spike is definitely a one of a kind vamp. :) I'm glad you liked it and thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/14/2009 - 12:13 am Title: 22 Hunters
Duh! She's got a lovelorn vampire stalker. Don't imagine it will be long before she figures it out.
Author's Response: Oh yes, she very much has a vampire stalker. :)

Date: 01/14/2009 - 12:05 am Title: 21 Lessons
Not a lot to go on, but that sure sounds like Angelus. An ironic twist of fate there. In a universe where he didn't try to save Faith first, that he would end up killing her. Love how all these little things are coming into play. And the Nerf training was a nice touch, too. An older Buffy takes to the slayage with less resistance. Makes sense, good read on the character.
Author's Response: Oh yes, that's Angelus. And I'm glad you like how I'm handling older Buffy. How an older girl would react to being called was something I wanted to explore. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/13/2009 - 01:42 pm Title: 74 Assurances
Giles is in for it now!. Hope you can update again soon
Author's Response: I'm trying to have one for the weekend. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for reviewing!
