If that wasn't romantic, I'd punch you in the face. Heh heh, well said.
Buffy took it well. Both are right - Spike didn't have to do it for you but he did it for himself (to make sure he didn't hurt her). That must count for something, even in Xander's eyes.

Author's Response: :) Thanks Cordy kitten! That was my favorite line to write. :) It just felt right. Hahaha...:)

While I absolutely love your story, I LOVE the fact that you take the time to answer your reviews. Thanks for the explanation about Travers. :)

Author's Response: :) Aw, thank you Rainey! :) There's a lot of reviews that I haven't responded to from my first couple stories, but I think I was away for a while and got completely overwhelmed and was unable to catch up. But I try to answer all of my new feedback, because I like the interaction. :)

I don't think I leave enough reveiws about how much I love this fic. Thanks for updating so frequently - looking forward to more.

Now what's Xander going to bitch about?? Ha!

Author's Response: Haha...thanks, J! I always appreciate it when folks take the time to leave a little something, even if it's just to say "good job!" It's always nice to know your story is enjoyed! :) As for Xander, well, he always finds something to bitch about, doesn't he? Maybe Anya will be able to distract him? :-P

OMG what a beautiful chappie. You have me crying. I loved Buffy telling him she loved him and Spike telling her he did it to be good for her. *sigh* I personally don't think Spike needed a soul to be good but that's just MHO. Can't wait to see where you take this story.

More please, I just love this story.

Author's Response: Awww...Ami, thank you so much! You're so sweet! I agree...Spike didn't need the soul to be good for her, but he had his reasons, and I think they were valid. I tried to write Buffy as seeing it as unnecessary too, but grateful to him for thinking the way he did. :) I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! I'm already working on Chapter 19. :)

So good that Buffy repeated the 'I Love You' before she knew about the soul. Spike deserved that.

Author's Response: :) Thanks! Yep...Spike did definitely deserve that!

I still can't believe he did that but i'm glad that spike is back now and knows that he really didn't need to get his soul for buffy to love him. i feel bad for spike that he has to deal with all of those horrible memories but hopefully he will be ok. great update can't wait for more.

Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! Our Spike is a trooper...he'll be ok...especially with Buffy there to help him! :) Prepare for fluffy Spuffy in the coming chapter! :)

For some reason everytime Xander talks makes me want to bang my head on the desk! Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response: LOL...don't bang too hard though, because that often leads to headaches. ;) Chapter 18 will be up SOON!

Loved the chapter, please keep them coming! :)

Author's Response: Thanks Pet! I think you'll all enjoy Chapter 18! I hope so anyway...:) It's kinda cram-packed with lots...but it's one hump I had to get over in order to get to the rest of the story. :)

Great chapter. Love Xander compariing Spike to Hannibal Lecter. Of course he doesn't know the chip doesn't work on Buffy, does he? I can't remember...

Author's Response: Crap....now I can't remember if I wrote that or not. I don't THINK Spike or Buffy know that the chip doesn't work on Buffy. Maybe somebody who has a better memory than me (like a goldfish) can refresh me on that. LOL...I'll go back and check in the story, but I don't think I ever came to that at this point.:)

*nods* It doesn't hurt (in fact it's good) that Buffy told Spike that she loves him before he got his soul back / or told her he would get his soul back. The meaning is much deeper (in my mind).
Travers is very sure that Dana won't be a danger or escape. This could bite him in his a**.

He only wanted his friends to be happy if he was happy with the reasons they were happy If Xander wants his friends to be happy he must them let be. As it was said many times before - Spike killed in the past but so did Anya.
Now what next... looking forward to it.

Author's Response: Thanks cordykitten! Yeah, Xander just has to get past his issues, because whether he likes it or not, Buffy wants Spike in her life, so he's gonna have to get over it or get out.

An action packed chapter! First we had Travers & Crazy Slayer. Who knew he could be so nice and sympathetic. Intriguing. Can't wait to see where this story line goes. Then you have Buffy and Anya. You wrote Anya perfectly. She's so endearing in her very selfish sorta way. It was nice she put out that olive branch even if it was for her own means. And then we have poor Spike. Yikes! And THEN we have her conversation with Xander, at first hopeful, then ultimately disappointing. I hope he gets his head out of his ass soon. Great great chapter.

Author's Response: LOL, thanks demona! I was hoping I portrayed Anya at least somewhat accurately! She really is a hard character to write...which is why you don't really see her too much in my story. LOL...

OK , you are a godess with these fast updates! Loved Anya in this, lol. Oh poor Spike, what he's going thru is horrible, but I guess he has to feel all that guilt and at least the First isn't around. I guess the angst is gonna start now? Xander is still annoying Ugh, what kind of apology was that?

Good chappie. more when you can. =)


Author's Response: Thanks Ami! Lucky for you, I'm skipping time a little, so we don't have to see Spike suffer so much. Yeah, he's gonna have some angst, BUT, he's not going to brood, because Buffy won't let him. You'll see. ;)

Travers being nice? There has to be an ulterior motive, right?

And Spike still has his chip? Hmm... Looking forward to figuring this all out! :)

Author's Response: In an upcoming chapter, Travers is gonna be explaining a little more to Dana, who will be a bit more lucid. What he wants ultimately is to be able to rehabilitate her, because the council doesn't choose who is called next. And he wants to be able to rehabilitate her, because there's a reason she's been called, and he's sure of it. It's just that she's got so much against her that it's not looking so good right now. More on the Spike chip later. :)

Wow Xander really needs to grow up and stop comparing everyone to angel. His appology wasn't very nice to Tara either he should be more considerate of her feelings as well. I feel bad for Spike and i still don't think he needed a soul to be good but hopefully he will get back to Buffy soon.

Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! Glad you're enjoying the story, still! You're absolutely right. Spike doesn't need to get his soul back, but as I tried to convey in his little scene, he feels like he needs to do it. He WANTS it, because he wants to be right for her. This is Spike's head we're talking about here...:)

Seems a bit of patrol has let Buffy make up her mind :)
Now she even doesn't have to worry how to tell Spike *gg*

Author's Response: LOL..thanks! I wish I could have gotten the ILYs out in person, BUT, I needed Buffy to say it to him before he comes back..and over the phone would have been the only opportunity.

Brilliant chapter. Love that Buffy blurted out the essential ILY to Spike during phone sex! That'll help him through the trials.

Yay! No Buffy denial! I can't wait for Spike to come home all soulful. Hopefully he won't be all broody crazy. I guess I'll have to wait to find out.

Author's Response: He's not gonna be anything like Angel, but there's gonna be some rough patches.

Loved the cemetery scene...Buffy telling the demon about her love life while she beat the crap outta it. Too funny. =) Sweet that she fell asleep in his crypt with his shirt.AWW *drool* the phone sex was HOT ! Loved the way she told him she loves him while she came.
Poor Spike...we know what he has to go thru, good that he has a happy memory to help him thru it.

Please hurry with the next chappie, can't wait to see what happens now. =)

Author's Response: :) Thank you, Ami! I'm already working away at the next chapter! Definitely wanted Spike to have that happiness before he goes through what he's about to. I'm gonna try to make it easier on him than it was on the show. I guess anything would be easier without The First hounding you, though. :)

Wow can't believe Buffy told Spike she loved him over the phone didn't think she had it in her. I laughed as she told that demon all about her love life. great update and please update again soon.

Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! :) I wasn't sure I wanted Buffy to say it over the phone, BUT, then I thought, you know, it'd probably be a lot better if she said it BEFORE he came back, because if he gets his soul back...well, that could cause some confusion and doubt in Spike.

I am glad that Spike called and I enjoyed their conversation. I can't imagine why Dana is in the story but I will wait and see where you take that. As usual Xander did not dissapoint he is his usual bigoted self. I really don't like how he speaks to Buffy and until he can grow up I hope he is gone forever. Another good chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks Bridget! Eventually, all of the characters are going to be drawn back together for a common purpose (hint hint: Dana's involved) and so there's going to have to be some major conflict resolutions before they can even attempt to work as a team again. Perhaps Willow and her witchy ways will come in handy once again. :) More coming soon!

Outstanding chapter. Tara typically diffident, Xander typically bigoted and jealous and Buffy having her much needed slip of the truth like she did in 'First Date' when she asked why everyone thought she was 'still in love with Spike'. Well... duh!
I hope Spike doesn't go crazy and get lost on the way home when he gets his soul....

Author's Response: Thank you! OMG...I totally suck. I never noticed her say "still in love with" in that episode. I had to go look for myself! Bad Spuffy fan...bad! *smacks self* Thanks for pointing that out to me!
