wonderful update, love the more thoughtful spike. looking forward to more

Author's Response: GLad you like the thoughtful Spike, he's falling hard and fast, poor thing and Buffy? WELL, GOT A FEW WALLS TO KNOCK DOWN, BUT AT LEAST SHE CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. Oooops, hate when i accidentaly hit that stupid caps button, sorry. Thanks for the review my dear - I hope to see you update soon too. Hugs.

Oooooo, Valentine's, huh?

Nice cozy weekend. Too bad Buffy's so gunshy. It's probably written all over Spike's face how sincere he is.

Author's Response: Yup, the V-day. And yeah, couldn't help but write a totally cozy weekend for two, all with the snugglies and sleepy moments - a bit of fluff to get our couple to come around a bit more. Thanks for the lovely review boo, huggles.

OMG! Yummm.... (several dreamy sighs later)

I love Astronomy and Astrology - perfect mix dearest! And snuggle bunnies under the electric blanket - I'll have to remember that one next time!

And here you are teasing again with a "JUICY" chapter for next time...just not right (shakes head, but keeps reading like a fool) heheheh.

Great job my sista

Author's Response: Hee hee, a beautiful night sky a warm blanket and hot to trot man - can't ask for anything better. Juicy, ah the word conjures up many an image, no??? Giggles, remember, I'm evil here, *winks*. Thanks for the review my twisted sista - luv ya.

loved the update. Things are going in a better direction.Thanks

Author's Response: You're welcome and thank you for the review darling. Indeed things are looking up now.

what a wonderful evening with the stargazing and the electric blankie and the two of them getting closer. I for one am holding my breath until they also get it ON - hope you let me breathe soon ; )

Author's Response: Hahahahhaha, welllllllllll, hold your breath a little while longer, sorry - don't hate me, I do have a plan. I'm just glad you enjoyed their romantic weekend sweety, thanks so much for the review. Huggles.

I never liked Henry. I was always gunning for Vicki and Henry! YAY! and OMG, Spike was almost gonna say it! Damn woman, you need to quit teasing the HELL out of us loyal readers! Hhehehe, but I love you anyway. Glad Buffy distinguished between 'boyfriend' and 'dating' Angel. phew...load off my mind. And sorry this is a short review, cause I gotta go read the next chapter that I didn't review... sorry!

Author's Response: You mean you never liked Mike, right? Cuz if you meant Henry, I'll have to do a drive by on your house on my way to the East coast, giggles. Spike almost slipped didn't he, hahahhahhaah, I'm evil like that, yes I am. Thanks for the review my sista - I know you're in a hurry to get caught up but I do hope to chat with you soon - as soon as you're feeling better. Smooches.

Cha... Cha.... Changes... you know the song by David Bowie comes to mind.. not that all of the lyrics are appropriate.. A little insight into the pysche of our pair.. and love the change.. Waiting for Valentine's Day.. and I know the girl says she cannot be bought.. but the candy and DVD's have proven her wrong.. LOL

And I hope Spike can quell his hormones and let Buffy make the first "big" move.. She is almost at the point of being a tease IMHO although she wouldn't think so.. And Spike needs the patience of Job to wait for her to do so..

Enjoyed as usual..

Author's Response: Hahahahhahah - you so went there with that song, lmfao. Yeah, I think Buffy will have to rethink her 'can;t buy me' attitude after Valentine's day. Spike is a genius after all, *winks*. As for Spike waiting for Buffy to make the first move, hmmmmmm, guess you'll find out this weekend, *winks*. Yeah, she sorta of is being a tease, but it's not like she's rubbing his cock thru his jeans and running away, plus he's loving it, giggles. Thanks for the review hon - hugs you tight.

Tender Spike is so good. Delighted that Buffy has decided to end her relationship with Angel. Now let's hope nothing changes her mind. She is a stubbon one when she gets upset over something. Still would like to hear why Buffy guards her heart so firmly? Any chance we might have a visit from an ex who hurt her?

Author's Response: Yup, seems beauty has brought out the tender side in Spike's beast, or rather tamed it, hee hee. Yeah, time to give Angel the boot - the bloke just doesn't do it for her, too bad, so sad, lol. Wel, as for her ex, we won't see an appearence but you will get the back story on it, it'll come in a surprising form, that's all I can say. THere's a few more chappies to go before its revealed. I'm so glad you liked the update hon and thank you so very much for the wonderful review - smooches.

*LOL* Somehow your endnotes always act like a cliffie. Now I'm all antsy for the Valentine chapter! But but but... I know, let's not get ahead of myself.

This chapter is so tender, so sweet... and the syrupy goodness that is Spike. And Buffy is dumping Angel! All the better! YAY! I'm really rooting for Buffy too - since she's worried about not knowing if Spike just wants to bed her. Great, great one... I thoroughly enjoyed it. And thank you, IBE, for bringing this one extra early. :) Cheers!

Author's Response: Giggles, they do don't they? I should start with.... tune in next week when.... LOL. Glad you didn't mind the fluff - I figured after everything they've been thru, a little sticky sweet time was in order for them - and of course BUH-BYE to Angel, hee hee. In truth, Buffy does have a reason to be wary of Spike, I mean after what he put her through since first knowing her, but of course that's where time will tell. You're welcome for the chapter my dear and I thiank you for the review - smooches to you.

All snuggled together, can't say that I'm like that with any of my friends. Theirs is something super special, and I'm quite glad that they seem to be thinking about it in some way. And Buffy wondering if a tiger can change it's stripes, it almost seems as though Spike isn't even a tiger anymore where she's concerned. All I can say is an update on Thursday would be the second high light of my week. Amazing.

Author's Response: LOL, yeah, the tiger is turning into a kittycat huh? I just felt they needed some bonding time, and how nice is it to be lazy on a couch with your fav program to do just that? THanks for the review sweety - huggles.

ahahahah at your end notes.... sleazy irish arse lol...


first just let me say you have an amazing writing technique and i look forward to reading your updates every week:)

i hope you'll update again soon cus i cn't wait to see what happens between Buffy and Spike:)



Author's Response: Hee hee, well, he is sleazy. ANd wow, thanks for the compliment, I'm truly awed and my muse is blushing. Next update wil be on thursday boo - promise. THanks for such a sweet review, it made my day - hugs.

I read this at work earlier today :) and now I just came back to leave a review ;) Yes, a tiger can change its stripes...
I loved the whole chapter, most of the fact that Buffy realized that she doesn't want Angel. And she wants to be with Spike. She says one thing, but her body tells him another, it must be confusing for him, but at least he's patient now. They're so cute together! :) And they still have all the star watching to do and a lot of episodes of Blood Ties... :) And Thursday sounds good, I'll be counting the days... ;) *huggles* / Ariadne

Author's Response: YAY - I'm so glad you think a tiger can change it's stripes, cuz well, he will in this fic - spuffy after all, *winks*. Giggles, I think everyone is ecststic over Buffy realizing Angel isn't the one for her. And oh yes, very observant on Buffy's part, she thinks a lot, but her body does react beyond her control, but then again, who wouldn't want to cuddle with SPike? And I promise you'll get your star gazing scene, *winks*, it's kind of the highlite of the next chappy. THanks so much for the awesome review boo - luv you.
