not that i ever thought spike needed a soul to be good but why is buffy so upset about him having one???? i mean, this should be a good thing to her considering that she always felt like she couldn't love him without one. oh, well. loved it lots. please post soon. great job.

Author's Response: Ah, but this Buffy did love Spike without one, and she's thrown by the fact that someone else might be walking around in his body. I'll clear things up quite a bit in the epilogue, which is coming soon.

Well that took a dark turn rather quickly. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I'm going to keep reading because i've loved it up until now (and I still might, I just don't know it yet).

Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback Emma. Things will get sorted out pretty quickly, so hopefully it won't stay too dark. I hope you'll like how I finish things up.

I'm coming in a bit late to your fic, having just discovered it the other night and read all the chapters at once. But i wanted to drop a note here and say how much i'm enjoying it and your spin on S6. I liked how you combined your ideas and the ideas and plot points of that season and I'm getting the feeling that a sequel may be coming after this to deal with that pesky prophecy. Which, btw, I'd welcom whole-heartedly. It's really just a wonderful read.

And in regards to this chapter alone, I really liked how you brought back the invisibility and the death of Xander was particularly sad. I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Welcome to the story. I'm getting a lot of encouragement to do a sequel and I'm starting to think up scenes for it in my head. So there may be one indeed.

Oh no! Who has bitten it? And with Spike off to get his soul, I assume... Anxiously awaiting more!

Author's Response: Thanks! Working on the next chapter now.

you love the cliff hangers dont you, I'm really really enjoying this, I like the changes you've made to cannon, they are working really well. Beautifully writen as well.

Author's Response: Thanks so much. I've had such a great time writing this, especially thanks to constant readers and reviewers like you.

Gah!! Aaaackk!!!! You.....you! We don't know who's hurt or dead, yet and this is just....

I hope it's not Tara, or Giles...and Xander's nice enough now that it would be sad for him, too, but at least he's the least valuable in a fight...and that's a really terrible thought...worth vs. death....But I'd like to see something different from the Willow-goes-vengeancey-and-evil thing. Maybe Xander dies, and Anya gets her powers back to avenge him. That would be different.

Nice job, having Spike upset over the drunk driving kids. And Buffy not blaming him for an accident...definitely shows growth, and she even said the words, though they didn't seem to register with him since he was already passing out. Did he get the info he was looking for? It sounded like he got to where he wanted when he left...

Or are you killing off Willow? That's rarely done, so it'd be a unique idea...and realistic to life, in that she's been doing so well, but something as ordinary as this takes her anyway.

And Spike's gone to get his wish. ..

Author's Response: Thanks for all the feedback. I hope you won't find my take too close to canon on this point. There will be similiarities though.

I never thought that Cecily could already be a demon when Spike knew her when he was human. Love the idea.

Author's Response: Thanks, glad you liked it. For whatever reason I had always assumed she was already Halfrek at the time. But in looking over Selflress, canon leaves it open (we see her with Anya in 1905, but it's not clear how long she's been on the job). And I liked the idea of Hallie sorta being Anya's demon mentor.

Ooh, nobody's ever brought up the guardians in a story before (that i've seen). I'm excited to see where you go with this! Great chapter, I liked how Buffy told Spike, even though he wasn't too happy about it, it was cute. Keep going, I love it!

Author's Response: Thanks for all the great feedback. I haven't seen the guardians used much either and there's basically nothing in canon, so it gives me a lot of freedom to play.

Oh, I love it! I really like how the 'real' Spike is able to show himself to Buffy, because she'll let him. like in the show, she wouldn't let him have fun and be himself around her, but in your story she does, and I think that was the one difference that could have made their relationship on the show work. If Buffy could have just accepted him into her life, everything could have been wonderful. Because she didn't, we have fanfic! I love it, update soon, I can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: Heh, yes, I definitely see fanfic as the way to 'correct' things I didn't like about the show. I think my Buffy also had a lot of freedom and support that canon-Buffy didn't. It's a lot easier to have a risky affair if you're not also crushed fanacially and trying to raise a teenage sister. Stay tuned! I'm currently drafting the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing.

This is such a great story. Things turn so much better for Buffy in each chapter/episode but that does nothing to decrease the drama of the events and certainly doesn't become boring. I always thought that the writers of Buffy kept her depressed and miserable because they thought it kept things tense and interesting. By making this incredibly enjoyable story you've shown that such tactics are not necessary which such great characters.

Author's Response: What a great review! Thanks so much.

It's always great to see an update on this story. I'm glad Spike didn't have the demon eggs, but what was Dennis thinking?

Author's Response: Heh. I introduced poor Dennis just to have someone to put the eggs on when that came up. Maybe he was sailing on shitakes when he thought up the scheme. :)

I can get that you feel exhausted by this chapter. You write Joyce so well, and I can't imagine how horrible it would be to have a Slayer for a daughter. Just trying to write that would be exhausing and heartbreaking. That said, it's really an excellent chapter. It's very moving, and your treatment of Riley and the eggs makes so much more sense than the show's did.

Author's Response: Thanks for all the wonderful feedback. I'm glad that the Joyce POV worked. I'm a mom myself and I can't imagine having to deal with what it means for your daughter to be a slayer.
