I don't think I've ever enjoyed a Spuff-fic more then I have enjoyed reading this. Even with the dark tones I was completely wrapped up into this the whole weekend reading it. Sorry I didnt comment at the end of every chapter I just wait till the last posted chapter.
Excellent writing and you have such a firm hold on all the players I'm beyond impressed. I will ret not to beg for more but I know I will fail with that as I'm sitting here waiting for Spike to break into Buffys new room.

Muhaahahahahaha

Author's Response: Shhhh, don't give things away! lol.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. FYI, I finally became a bonifide member (golf clap), my reviews I submitted for this story were under the name ‘t’, now of course I’m TMW.
Sweeeeeeet. VERY good chapter, f’course I expect nothing less from you now – puts author on pedstal bows repeatedly chanting we’re not worthy, we’re not worthy, LOL. As usual you didn’t disappoint in providing a twist I didn’t expect. I’ve also dubbed Spike the nick name crumb snatcher (something I call my 2 small children), for his eternal quest for signs of something from Buffy.
If I’m interpreting this chapter correctly, then Spike knows now that he means at least a little something to Buffy (the show of jealousy/ kiss and statement of not distracting me). I hope he takes advantage of this in future chapters to break down some of her resolve. Her revealing information I hope will bring them ultimately closer, but it will depend on how Spike treats her after he’s through w/ Amy. I do wonder however, if Buffy realizes, or will, that she needs to be on Spike’s side for her own survivals sake. I mean if something should happen to Spike, she could be at the mercy of anything, to include Angelus.
I love how quick witted spike is, being able to formulate a plan sooooo quickly w/ buffy’s information about Angelus (unlike the btvs series, ya know the act first think later Spike. Dangerous smart men are so much more sexy, give me a bad boy any day of the week). Seems like he wasn’t or didn’t have time to be mad at her for with-holding, either that or he doesn’t blame her or expect anything less from her. As I said, I’m curious to hear the conversation Spike will have w/ Buffy after he’s through w/ Amy. Which by the way was brilliant, meaning he let Buffy know in his own way (“can’t just let her go”), he has some sense of humanity…not having sex w/ her and not killing her either. I’m really anticipating to read what conversation will goon in Spike’s room between him and Amy. OR, will Spike simply sneek into Buffy’s room to spend the night w/ her, reassuring her of his intent to keep her for himself and safe as well.
It should be a crime how hooked on your fic I am, and thanks for answering the how parker died question.


Author's Response: Crumb snatcher LMAO! I keep Buffy's thoughts sort of in mystery, but some part of her definitely knows that she needs him to survive, at least she does initially. And soon you'll see a trend of just how much Spike "overlooks." Thanks for your long review!

That's very clever. And quite logical, too, once you get into the right set of mind. Great chapter

Author's Response: Yea, you definitely have to work your way into their minds to understand their twisted logic ;) Thanks!

i cant wiat for more i hope you have it soon i really love this story

Author's Response: Thanks!

I'm normally really standoffish on dark fics but my friend told me I had to read this and she was so true. From the first page it just pulls you in I love how you write out the characters and keep true to them while adding in your own spin on them. Really a great read I highly recommend this story for anyone looking for a great story to follow. Sadly with BtvS ending it's great writers like this that keep the Joss universe alive.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the compliments :) And thank your friend for me too!

(((Claps))) Sorry I have to clap its too good not to. I'm on eggshells wondering if Buffy is going to work with Spike on this in the next chapter or is she just gonna wait and watch and see what unfolds? I feel it's like a season finale waiting till the next episode lol!



Author's Response: Lol! Thanks for your enthusiasm ;) and the review!

Wow - awesome chapter, glad to see the direction Buffy and Spike's relationship is taking in this chapter! Can't wait for more as soon as possible : )

Author's Response: Yep, we've got some relationship development ;) Thanks for the review!

I fell into this story at about 10 tonight an couldn't stop myself once I started. This story is killer good and not one part of it seems off base or out of nowhere like.
I hope you add more cause the last bit of this is so cliff hanger I can't get it out of my mind now.

Author's Response: Lmao. I'm glad you're on board! ;) Thanks for reviewing!

That was delightfully wicked! On top of all the events of the last chapter, it's so nice to see Buffy, for whatever reason, working her less violent magic on these people. And the idea that Spike is going to trick Angelus into wanting Amy, that is really diabolical. And though Buffy seems to have thrown in her last card, this whole situation has seemed to, once again, endear her to Spike. May even make our girl a little safer. Absolutely loved the whole thing.

Author's Response: :D I'm very glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing! (And I think Buffy's real last card is herself ;)

Wow Lorne was in the torture room I wouldn't pick him the type.

This kicked butt
“I never told you-,” she paused, knowing she was about to give up her only bit of information to try and save this girl’s life, a girl who probably killed dozens of people herself.

Cause regardless of what might happen to herself in the fallout she told him anyway what she had heard. I thought that was pretty cool.

Ah ha! She went after him for answers! That was cool cause if she was totally indifferent to him she'd be glad to get away from him and she was ticked!

"Her hands pushed at his chest, furious that he would try to solve this by distracting her. When he kept persisting, she bit him on the lip, hard enough to make him jump back and let her go."

He so wants a response from her one small crumb I loved this part.

Ahhhhhhh! I LOVE this fic I was almost hoping Amy was the Scott from the club but Amy makes more sense. :D



Author's Response: Haha, don't you love when Spike searches for crumbs? ;) Thanks for reviewing!

Great goolie mooglie I see Spike is turning the tables and going after Angel now. I think it's good she told him and I don't think she only told him to help that Amy chic cause she doesn't know her from anywhere that I can remember in this story. I liked how he pulled her to the side for a private conversation and ok yes she did tell him she was saving that info to use againest him but you can see why so I'm not to sure Spike would hold any anger on that. I think it's cool that even though shes mad with him and what they do shes willing to use the one card she had to help him in avoiding a full gang war. I hope he can see that and he made fast on plotting it out.

Wow what a great read four stars and all that or how ever great authors get points here. This is by far the best fic I have ever read on all the Buffy Spike fiction sites. It's in a class all of it's own.

Author's Response: Lol, you are exactly right - it's not just Amy. It's Amy, and Parker, and Spike, and the gang war, etc. Thank you so much for the compliments!

Chest heaving, she pursed her lips in anger, not believing him. “And what are you going to be doing with her in here all night? Knitting sweaters?”

Heeheehee! I loved this line. I could hear Spikes line in my head from the show with Riley and the knitting needles.



Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it :) Thanks for reviewing!
