Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing!

Enjoyed the chapter, especially the B/S scene, of course :) Looking forward for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! More B/S coming soon! Thanks for reviewing!

Once again loved it! And it seems Buffy is getting more in touch with her feelings, wanting Spike to see her as more than the Slayer! YAY!! (and Spike being all with the flirty innuendo was really yummy!)
Can't wait for more,
*hugs*
Author's Response: Well, she's not so much getting in touch with her feelings, as her feelings are subconsciously leaking out. So don't expect any big revelations. Yet. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Brilliant. They are all so spot on. Absolutely loved it.
Author's Response: I'm glad you think so! Thank you so much for reviewing!

I love the banter and want more.
Author's Response: More banter coming soon! Though next we have Buffy and Spike's first training session. Thanks for reviewing!

I like the conversations between your Buffy and Spike. They are entertaining and not overly campy. Very nice balance and it is believable.
Author's Response: Glad you think so! Thanks for reading!

PLEASE update as soon as u can, i cant wait to read more. THANX
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you're enjoying everything so much! Buffy and Spike will continue to get closer as time goes on... Thanks for reviewing!

Well, a little banter... made me laugh..
"You could change here. I’ve seen it before"--such a man..
Author's Response: 'Such a man...' That he is. :) Glad you liked the banter! Thanks for reviewing!

This is all I look forward to in life, really!! You know I enjoy this fic sooo much!!
Author's Response: Then what will you do after it's done, LOL? :) Though, I must say, it's longer than I ever thought it to be. It's taken much longer to get where I wanted than I thought it would. But someday, after it's done, I've got another human Buffy/vamp Spike one planned, and a season 4/5 epic after that. Anyway, thanks for reading!

I still follow your story and i'm glad i can post a review again. Looking forward for more. And i'm thirsty for some spuffy action.
Author's Response: Glad you're still enjoying it! As for some action, well, we'll be slowly building up to it. Thank you so much for reviewing!

Leave it to Dru to surprise. I'll bet Darla wished she didn't. Coming to think having the Master ill won't be a bad thing :)
Having them split up now is even better for Buffy and Spike (if they do indeed stay apart and she won't come back like Angelus thought).
Author's Response: Well, Darla left then, but she's back now. Glad you liked, and thanks for reviewing!

Very interesting that Angel's 'moment of pure happiness' turning him back into ANgelus was nothing more than drinking Darla's blood - didn't see that as a possibility, but it is sire's blood I suppose. Nice background you have in this chapter - loved the important milestones you wrote here throghout the years. And omg, how could Angelus NOT expect Darla to go ballistic after killing the Master. Hmmmmmmm, really makes me wonder if she'll continue to hold a grudge or let it go. Wonderful chapter darling, looking forward to more - hugs.
Author's Response: Well, I figured that that could have been his pure happiness moment, since he was starving and had been for some time, and if you go with the happiness as 'forgetting his guilt and suffering completely, even for a moment.' Eh, Angelus probably expected Darla to go wiggy somewhat, but she's chosen him over the Master before, so he expects that she will again (which she does, eventually, since she comes back). She won't be so much holding a grudge, as simply not bringing it up again. Thanks for reviewing!

Lovely explanation of how they got to this point in time. I'm enjoying this so much - thank you.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Thank you, and I hope you keep enjoying!

Wow! You did a masterful job with the rituals and taking us through time until they got to Sunnydale! I'm looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked their history. I was kind of nervous about posting a chapter with no Spike or Buffy in it, but none of these bits really worked as flashbacks put into other chapters, and it also seemed confusing to divide them up. Thanks for reviewing!

Love the way Buffy and Giles are interacting with each other already. They work great together. And I loved the last part with Angelus, Darla and Dru, very insightful. Off to read more!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading!

Date: 03/09/2008 - 04:44 pm Title: 39 Flashes
Great chapter! Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

Date: 03/09/2008 - 04:27 pm Title: 39 Flashes
Interesting series of events and it explained some things. Love it and can't wait for more especially if it includes Spuffy.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the little 'history'! A bit more Spike/Buffy interaction coming up soon!

Date: 03/09/2008 - 04:07 pm Title: 39 Flashes
OHH DAMN, I CANT BELIEVE THAT ANGELUS DID THAT AND IM SURPRISED THAT DARLA DIDNT KILL HIM!! I LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. i really hope that they die soon and that spike and buffy grow closer. also i hope that everything works out well. PLEASE update as soon as u can, i CANT wait to read more. THANX
Author's Response: Well, I can't promise that they'll be dying SOON, but we will have more Spike and Buffy coming up. Thanks for reviewing!

Oh Angelus, such a delicious bastard most of the time. I really love the way you've twisted the Fanged Four's past history to still make sense, with little bits of canon in there, but it's entirely new and unique and exciting! Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked their new 'history' for this story. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 03/09/2008 - 02:28 pm Title: 39 Flashes
Ooooh! Interesting and devious. I was wondering how exactly this incarnation of the Darla-Angelus-Dru group evolved. So Angelus has been soulless for the past 30 years at this point, and both he and Darla both spent about 13 years each as a vampire-invalid due to the healing ritual.
I can only imagine the animosity they have built up toward Spike over the years - since it was he who set the whole thing in motion by searching out the cure for Dru in the first place. When they meet up it will *not* be a pretty fight. Spike will probably be in more danger from them than Buffy will be. I can see their hatred of Spike basically blinding them to the threat of Buffy ~ hopefully she can take advantage of that!
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Glad you liked the group's 'tweaked' history! Yes, Angelus definitely has no lost love for Spike, and he will be quick to remind Darla that Spike started the whole ritual thing. Funny you should mention that about the first meeting, since Angelus will be more interested in Spike at first, first as 'what are you doing here,' then to 'why aren't you killing the Slayer?' Thanks for reviewing!

So . ... a little twist on the Bverse.... The Master is gone and Angel becomes Angelus without Buffy...
Enjoyed the update..
Author's Response: Yep, a little canon twist. Glad you liked!

Date: 03/09/2008 - 02:00 pm Title: 39 Flashes
Extremely interesting update! Really enjoyed finding out all that about the vampires Buffy and Spike will soon have to face!
Still loving this!
*hugs*
Author's Response: Yeah, it was time to shed a little light on what had been going on with the Aurelians. Glad you liked, and thanks for reading!

“It’s just so predictable. Kill a virgin, fuck a virgin, kill a virgin…”
LOL, I absolutely love that part! :) Fun, fun, fun all around! Kill a virgin, fuck a virgin... *smirk* yeah... I can almost taste it. lol.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Yeah, that's about Angelus's idea of fun. :)

Date: 03/06/2008 - 06:28 pm Title: 38 Acclimations
Enjoying this! Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

Though in hindsight it's maybe better that Spike isn't mentioned in Buffy's file.
Seems as if Giles has found something now he wants to learn Buffy (the swords). He sounded really happy.
The others aren't so good to translate what Drusilla says; otherwise they had noticed that she talked about Spike :)
Author's Response: Yeah, Spike is probably not something Giles is going to be understanding about, and certainly not right off the bat. Besides, Wesley thinks that Spike was something Buffy left behind in LA... And Angelus just hears whatever he wants in Dru's ramblings, mainly that there's a new Slayer. Thanks for reading!
