Oohhhhh, I think this is gonna spell trouble for Buffy.

Thudercat - Spike has the Gem of Amarra, so he's immune from the sunlight.

Author's Response: Certain things may happen, but it might be spelling more trouble for Spike... Thanks for reviewing!

Although Spike is fabulous for doing this in the name of Buffy, I don't doubt that this will cause more problems and put Buffy at a greater risk. All the more reason for his protection and to get them closer. YAY. *claps enthusiastically*.

LOVE THE STORY!!! Updated VERY VERY soon.

Author's Response: Thank you! Well, they definitely will be getting closer... Glad you liked it!

Wow, Spike really found a way to get back to Angelus. That has hit him hard. But it will make him fight (hunt) Spike and Buffy harder. And I hope that Angelus can't understand Dru's riddles or Spike's Gem is in danger too.
Good to find an update today :)

Author's Response: Hmm, Angelus won't be figuring out the things Dru was saying, at least not yet. Thanks for reviewing!

Awesome. Dru's last comment is interesting. Wonder of Buffy's blood is having other side effects on Spike's vampiric biology.

It's a curse, and feel free to call me out for nitpicking, but why would Spike throw away the umbrella? Spike & Darla were only blocks from the mansion, and they left in "morning light" with no access to shade other than the umbrella ~ that being the point of course, as far as Darla's fate was concerned. A big black umbrella is a useful item for a vampire - why would Spike toss it only a small way from the mansion, where it might well be found by Angelus or Dru, only to have to run back to shelter under his coat? I know, I know....I focus on the dumbest, most trivial things ~ but like I said, it's my curse.

Really looking forward to the downward spiral this triggers in Angelus.

Author's Response: Spike has the Gem of Amara in this fic, so the umbrella was not so much for him as it was for Darla. This is also what Dru's chanting was referring to. Thanks for reviewing!

A little revenge... and if the "Forehead" would listen to the crazed rantings of Drusilla he could figure it out..

Assume there are some more lessons before Spike is finished.. and that he will go see Buffy and try to keep her from trying to fight Angelus.. but.. she is in Slayer mode..

Enjoyed.

Author's Response: Yes, Drusilla has caught on to a few things. Well, Buffy might talk Spike out of a few things... Thanks for reviewing!

Whoa. Just...whoa. I had no idea that was the direction you were headed. That was bloody BRILLANT! Can not wait to see what you have in store next chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad that I'm not getting predictable. Glad you enjoyed!

WHOA!!!!!!


holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's all i can say


Author's Response: Hehe, glad you didn't see it coming! Thanks for reviewing!

Very good chapter.
The description of Buffy as a chew toy is pretty powerful.
And I know she can handle fledglings... But two Master Vampires are present, not counting Spike. And she's their main target. So I still stay she was stupid to go off on her own, although I get why she did that, being pissed off and all.

Looking forward to Spike's Cattle-prod Hijinks.

Author's Response: Glad you liked how I described Buffy when Angelus had hold of her. And true, maybe going off alone was bad, thought it was also bad timing that they happened to show up just then. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reviewing!

I've just caught up with the last 15 chapters all at once, so sorry for not reviewing each one, but wanted you to know that this story continues to entrance me. You've done a masterful job developing the B/S relationship... it feels so *real* and truthful, with all of the emotional snags that such a relationship would entail. Your dialog says so much, so succinctly ~ love it.

I especially adore the way you've tweaked canon in your basic story premise. We know all these characters, they're all in slightly different circumstances than we're used to, yet utterly in character (if that makes any sense at all).

Reading a bunch at once, I thankfully didn't have to suffer through the cliffhangers, but I'll be sure to keep up to date from now on because I just. can't. wait. to find out what's gonna happen!

Author's Response: Don't worry about not reviewing each chapter, it's good to know I've written a "page-turner," LOL. Thank you for the compliments on how I've handled Spike and Buffy's relationship. I've tried to take everything into account, and not have it be all romance and flowers, because they both have issues. And I'm glad you think everyone is still in character, even though they're "out of canon." I didn't have much problem with Buffy and Spike, but some of the Scooby scenes were hard for me to write at first, trying to "introduce" them to Buffy, while we still know most everything about them. Hmm, I didn't think I had *too* many cliffhangers in there, though you ended up reading at a point where there was a big one on the last chapter, LOL. Thanks for reviewing, and I hope you keep enjoying!

I'm really relieved Spike managed to save Buffy, and I'd almost feel sorry for what Angelus will have to deal with once the blond gets to him...

...unless, that is, things go wrong! They won't, will they???? That last line sent a shiver down my spine.

LOVE IT! *hugs*

Author's Response: Glad you liked the last line. It was one of my favorites. Hmm, things might not really go wrong, they might go horribly right... Thanks for reviewing!

OH SPIKE IS GOING TO HURT ANGELUS SO BAD!! i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. im SO happy that shes ok and that spike went after angelus. also i thought it was hilarious how dru attacked him for wanting to play with buffy. i really hope that spike hurts angelus and that buffy and him talk and get together. also i hope that everything works out well and that they end up together and happy. PLEASE update as soon as u can, i CANT wait to read more. THANX

Author's Response: Hehe, yes, Dru was a wild card. She wanted Angelus to kill Buffy right there, but no keeping her. What Spike's doing is coming up next! Thanks for reviewing!

yay.... buffy didn't get completely munched by angelus:)


i'm looking forward to the next update

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Hmmm a cattle prod. Will he be serving Angelus extra rare or medium well? Wonder what that other thing was? A brander a railroad spike? I damn hope so.
Hope you can update soon, I can't wait for the night of pain to begin for Angelus hurting Spike's girl. Make it slow and sweet.


Author's Response: Nothing so interesting as a railroad spike, but you'll have to wait and see. :) Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reviewing!
