Uggh! Riley , damn , i don't want her to see someone else, Why can't u have Faith mind her own business. Have her date the boy scout, I hope this dating thing isn't gonna be to graphic it'll make me puke. Have fun on your vacation. I hope the next chapter isn't all about the "date" Ugggh!

Author's Response: Lol bless glad to see someone hates Riley as much as me, yes I hate Riley so don't worry, included him though as is stated in the Chapter because he's the type of guy this Buffy always wanted, his only purpose is so she can realise that its not even remotely what she wants anymore...Riley and her won't be anywhere near graphic I promise...

Love the Oz...and the way he tries to save Mr. Destructo without being patronizing. It's actually fun reading him angst it out on alcohol it because it always gives me a visual of when he fell off the DeSoto...

Thanks so much for updating. Looking forward to the next.

Spike has lost the job? Not the thing he could use right now. (Not sure if being in the band will pay him.)
Hope it will get better soon.

Their light hearted conversation gave me a giggle after that intense coming together.

I would like to thank you for your reply. Yes, I do have problems with some of the things Joss did with the show. One of them being is that only seem like Spike had to be constantly thrown under the bus and Buffy only got a little slap for the things that went wrong in their relationship in season six. I also know that these aren't the same characters from the show. Of course I get that. This is fanfiction and all. I was just trying to make my point across that isn't always men who are jerks and women that are the only ones who get hurt from relationships. Which is what I always see when it comes to AU Spuffy fanfiction. They make Spike into this biggest jerk while Buffy is this sweet innocent girl. Lots of time I always get writers say that Spike wasn't an innocent on the show. Yes, of course he wasn't. He was a vampire. But if you want the truth. Spike was always loyal to the women who love. He was the guy who did anything for love. He did everything for Dru when he was with her. He did everything for Buffy when he was in love with her. He was love's bitch. He made mistakes on trying to be someone good. He said some things he shouldn't have said. But that is too be expected from a vampire who is trying to be good and not have anybody really believe in him. Spike made be snarky at times and crude. But he really wasn't a jerk to the women he loves. He was a pussy cat when it came to the women he love. I just never really like it when a writer told me that Spike is a jerk on the show. Spike may be a lot of things on the show but being a jerk to the woman he loves wasn't one of them. I'm not saying that you can't write Spike as a jerk in fanfiction. But to say that is like his character in the show is just not true. In this story you made Spike into a man who just is an ass. First, he doesn't keep in touch with Buffy because he is too busy with his own life. Then he cheats on Dru. Then he ends it with Buffy. Then the Harmony situation. Which is why I was disappointed in this story. It just seem like all the other stories where they have Spike being an ass while Buffy is the innocent woman who gets hurt by a man. Just another all men are jerks and all women are innocent type of story. I don't know if I will continue. I do agree that you should write it on how you feel it should be. I would never tell a writer on how to write their story. So, I hope that you didn't think that. I just wanted to let you how I felt. That I'm not one to read stories where Spike has to beg Buffy for forgiveness. Cause I have it too many times on the show and I have seen it too many times in AU Spuffy fanfiction for my liking.

I'm stuck fast.

heartbreaking & very well written, loved it =)

Author's Response: Thankyou!

I hope Willow isn't coming in to do some Spike bashing and be all opinionated and try to convince Buffy not to have a relationship wit Spike. Can't wait to see what happens next . The Harmony episode was icccky and i'm glad he stopped..I agree with your ststement to a fellow reviewer , yes he cheated on Dru but it doesn't mean he will on Buffy, this chapter clearly showed that. This is terrific writing, i know when a fic tee's me off as much as this one, it's good. Just don't let a few negative reviews convince u otherwise . Your doin good kid.

Author's Response: Thankyou very much, I really appreciate your review :)

What an intense, erotic and romantic first time. Here's hoping the morning after guiltfest doesn't ruin this wonderful experience.

And Buffy inadvertently pulls Spike even further into her web. It's delicious.

Buffy's reaction to Spike emerging from the bathroom all 80's teen flick and smoking hot was hilarious. Poor thing, she's got it bad.

Clubbing should be fun, especially with Faith there to notice all the awkward tension. I wonder how Buffy will react if she makes a move on Spike.
