Excellent follow-up! I love that Tara moved in to the house and it was great seeing Buffy missing Spike. I have ALWAYS wanted to read a story where Spike still goes out and seeks his soul. So many people hate that he did that, but I always felt that it showed how much he loved her and how different he was from Angel. He actually wanted to get his back for Buffy, Angel never did. So yay! On the polar opposite, I'm a bit sad about the whole Xander thing. I always hate seeing him soooo mean. I felt that he could be stupid and a bit of a pain in the ass but in the end he always was a good friend. Even when he almost axed Spike on the show, it was because Spike had sex with Anya. But I have faith in this story, no matter what direction you chose to take it. Can't wait for the next one. :-)

Author's Response: Thank you! I loved Tara, and I was completely bummed when they killed her off the show. I think that the fact that Spike gets his soul is also important, because of what you said. Angel didn't have a choice to get his soul back. He was forced into it. Spike got his because he wanted to be the kind of man Buffy could love, etc. In my head, Spike's getting the soul on his own to make things better for them is good, especially since he's worried about what might happen should the chip ever stop working...more on that later!

Xander is an idiot who only sees his side of things. Can hardly wait for the next update!

Author's Response: Thanks! Yep...he's definitely an idiot!

I am nearly snarling right now. I wish for Xander's entrails to spontaneously explode and leak out his ears. For starters. Wanker.

Author's Response: Ohh...that's a very..um...descriptive way to show your anger at Xander...but I can't blame you! :) Thanks!

Nothing can stop Spike now, huh? Good that the doesn't think of failing, the trials will be hard enough (suspecting that this will be like canon).
Awe, Buffy said she's in love with Spike :) She didn't even notice *g*.
And she was right, telling Xander some facts even if he didn't want to hear them. Xander is a bit too much biased when it comes to people Buffy loves / her boyfriends that don't include him.

Author's Response: Thanks cordykitten! I haven't decided yet if I want to actually write the trials. I might just have Spike disappear for a chapter or two, but NOT TO WORRY: he'll never be far from Buffy's mind! :)

Good chapter, like the way Buffy let it slip that she's in love with Spike. Not liking Xander at all , he's getting worse and worse. Can't wait for Spike to come back with his soul...wonder if he'll be insane? The Dana situation is getting interesting.

Thanx for the quick updates, can't wait for the next one!



Author's Response: Thanks Ami! Yeah...Xander's definitely on a lot of naughty lists right now. And not in a good way! :) More to come soon!

Wow that was intense. I was surpised that Buffy blurted out that she loves Spike but I'm glad she did. Xanders attitude is annoying and he really needs to grow up and I can't believe he treated Tara like that. Can't wait to see what else will happen with Dana

Author's Response: Jenn, thanks so much! I wanted the revelation to come at a moment where she speaks without thinking...but sometimes that's the best way to say things. :) Glad you're still enjoying the story! :)

I just read the last chapter and when I had finished, you had updated again. Yay! *lol* Really hate Xander here. He's acting like a real ass and he has no right to judge Buffy. Still loving this story, even though it sometimes makes me wanna bang my head against the table. :)

Author's Response: LOL! Thanks Pet! Yeah, I must be working out some aggression toward Xander for being an idiot to Spike. LOL

I take it Spike's going to get his soul. Good for him, not that I think he really needs it. But still, good. And that was quite a twist at the end, with Dana. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thank you! More is explained in Chapter 15! :)

Ah! So, I'm pretty sure that Spike's going to get his soul in Africa, but the Dana thing totally threw me for a loop... Good job! I can't wait to where you take this next. :)

Author's Response: Thanks Raina! :) Hopefully you'll enjoy the rest of the story! :)

I knew a new slayer would be coming just didn't think it would be Dana. I don't think spike needs a soul to be good at all. I think he's unique and can do it on his own. I'm glad Buffy stood up for herself finally against her friends and Giles. They really need to see that there is always a gray and not just black and white.

Author's Response: This Dana's going to have some differences than the one on ATS. For instance, she won't be chopping off Spike's arms. LOL...that was just...ok, I don't even wanna think about that. :) Hope you continue to enjoy the story! Thanks!

See that's the thing - I never believed that Spike needed the soul to be good. Giles thinks otherwise.
I loved Buffy standing up against her demanding friends for the things that she wanted - aka Spike.
Unexpected twists here... both Spike ready to get his soul back as to see Dana in the game.

Author's Response: Thanks Cordy! I agree with you. I don't think he needs his soul to be right either. But I guess, if that's what he's going after, they can't exactly bitch about the fact that he doesn't have one anymore, because he'll have one. They'll have to bitch about other things. LOL!

Stupid jealous prejudiced Xander and stupid blind Giles. Acting quite in character though. And could Spike's timing be any worse? He's gone off after his soul hasn't he? I hope Buffy can weather the loneliness while he's gone. Hopefully she and Tara can keep each other company.
By the way I noticed a typo - 'she felt those cool hands on his shoulders' should be her shoulders...



Author's Response: Yeah, Spike definitely had his timing wrong, but at least he owned up to that. Thanks for pointing out the typo! Sometimes just one set of eyes isn't good enough. I guess I got used to Betaing other stories a long time ago that I figured I could do my own pretty well. LOL...:)

OMG!! Great chappie, this is getting better and better.Can Xander be more of a judgemental jerk? I think he'd be more accepting of Buffy sleeping with a goat , for God's sake! Idiot ! Hated Giles too, thinks Spike is just like Angel UGH ... makes me crazy. I guess Spike is going for his soul? or maybe not..
And now Dana is in the mix.

Evil cliffie, can't wait for the next chappie! =)

Author's Response: LOL...thanks Ami! Yeah, Spike's definitely nothing like Angel or Angelus. He's, as it's been said in this story, not a textbook case. I feel, like a lot of people are saying, that Spike doesn't need his soul, and if that's in fact what he's going after, it's more of a...hmm...safety net, I suppose.

I'm just in awe. I'm usually a very verbose person, but I really can't think of anything to say that would cover everything. I can barely wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: :) Great to know you're enjoying the story! Thanks!

My heart is breaking for poor Buffy. So much all at once! It always did frustrate me that Spike did so much for them during the Summer and then they still couldn't see that he was different. I just want to slap Xander and Giles. I'm glad that Willow is going to get help early though. I'm hoping for no Tara death because she is one of my favorite characters. I'm confused about Dana though. I though she became strong because of the spell Willow did at the end of the season. Does this mean that Faith is dead so she's a slayer now? Love the story!

Author's Response: Thank you! Well, throughout the story I've kind of peppered in some lines about a new slayer possibly coming in, but they weren't sure how that all worked. Of course, I let it be until this chapter. As you can tell, yes, Dana is a Slayer. Faith, for all I know at this point is still alive...just in prison. It's just that when Buffy died...again...a new Slayer was born.

I've been a bit busy recently so I'd fallen behind, but now I'm all caught up! Outstanding story, everyone in character. Of course Xander is all worried about Willow getting her heart broken, he doesn't give a second thought to the fact that Tara's only gone because Willow broke her heart! I hope Buffy's more sympathetic to Tara.... and tells Xander to mind his own business... or are we going to get Tabula Rasa now so Willow can get everyone back as they're 'supposed to be' (according to Willow)? I'm on tenterhooks here....

Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, Xander is a bit of a jerk huh?

What Xander doesn't understand is that Willow would have been just fine if she didn't do the spell. Can't wait for the next update!

Why does Willow have to be so stupid and ruin a perfectly good thing and then Xander being his ever stupid self . For once i wish buffy would tell them to suck it up and deal with it that it's her life not theres

Author's Response: Thanks Jenn! Yeah...I think just about everyone will piss you off in the next chapter...yes...even Spike. BUT, just remember...Spuffy is my #1 priority, so whatever stupid thing happens in the next chapter...it's not as bad as it sounds! :)

Tara was right in a way, the spell had a secondary effect and was indeed dangerous - but not in a way Willow thought. She should have been careful before she lied about the spell; seems it has cost her a precious thing ~ Tara.
Loved Spike's idea (the massage) but Xander has a very bad timing. At last Buffy stands by Spike (even if she went so see Willow).
Looking forward to find out what Buffy will say to the reason for the breakup.

Author's Response: :) Thank you Cordykitten!

I am glad that Tara left Willow. She didn't really have a choice. However, who the heck does Xander think he is speaking to Buffy like that. He acts like Buffy should always be at their beck and call. Good chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks! Lots of things coming up, so there'll be some drama, but never fear...Spuffy is gonna be stronger than ever! :)

So now Xander knows as well. He makes me so mad though, he has no right talking to Buffy like that. And Willow, she deserves no sympathy from B at all. Grrr! Oh well, loved the chapter as always. :)

Author's Response: Yeah...Xander's gonna really get crappy here pretty soon..more on that later though.

Oh Xander, I supose he just cares about her really but that was harsh. And Willow kinda deserved what she got, Team Tara all the way!! I love Willow but she shouldn't have gone behind Tara's back like that. And it better be a crisis interrupting a date like that one!! Fantastic chapter, looking forward to more :-)

Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah...there's definitely drama a-comin'!
