And reality has sunk in. For both of them. Not quite sure what they want in life. Eventually they'll figure something out. The struggle sure is entertaining though. Another intense chapter. Amazing drama and very appropriate character reactions. Well done.

Author's Response: Thank you for the compliments! Yes, Buffy and Spike have a lot of things to figure out, both between them and with what they want. I'm glad you liked it!

This was a vivid, brutal chapter. The random vampire attack was an excellent way to bring up the slayer's longevity. Having Spike on her side would certainly boost Buffy's chances, but he's just as rattled by his emotions as she is. Wes' observation about Spike's struggles may have defined what's going on, but they're a long way from a resolution. I hope they come to some compromise before Buffy gets seriously injured.

Author's Response: Glad you liked the chapter! Yes, Buffy just figured out one or two of the cons of slaying. But neither Spike nor Buffy have figured out exactly where they stand yet. Thanks for reviewing!

I had somehow missed this chapter until today. Sorry for that. I loved this chapter, I love how Spike can't stay away from Buffy, the way he reacted when she was in danger. I guess what Wesley said hit a little too close to home and that's why he reacted like that? Although I don't really see Spike as trying to kill her. Anyway, fantastic chapter, darling!

Author's Response: Yeah, Wesley just hit the wrong button there. Spike won't be trying to kill her, but of course, Wesley hasn't been witness to most of their interactions, so he doesn't have much to base what Spike might do on, except "vampire." Glad you're loving it, and thank you so much!

Enjoyed the conversation between Spike and Wesley. Can't wait to read more!

So... first of all, I'm really enjoying this story so far, despite my current 'allergy' to angst (usually I'm fine with it, just not lately). Altho this story is far from being angsty, I still wanted to point that out (maybe so you'll keep it light? :P). Anyway... can't wait to read more of it and see exactly how the Aurelius Reunion Party 2000 is going to go down. Also... curious about the whole Master business... is he still there? Is Darla? From the bits and pieces... apparently not, but you never now... I always did find Spike beating the crap (both with physical and verbal blows) out of all his elders highly entertaining.

Author's Response: Don't worry, I have a permanent allergy to angst. Small doses I can deal with, but angst is not a category I revel in, so the story will be as light as it's been. As for what other vampires are on the Hellmouth with Angelus, that will have to be a mystery for a bit longer, sorry! :) Thanks for reviewing!

I wasn't sure about this story when I began reading it , but now that I've read what you've posted so far, I felt the need to tell you how much I'm enjoying it. I'm a stickler for characterization, and your Buffy is spot-on, as is your Wesley. And mercenary Spike is absolutely fantastic. Go, go, go!!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'll admit that it started out sort of generic, but I'm glad you decided to keep reading it and are enjoying it! It's always a compliment when people think I've got the characters down. Thanks for reviewing!

So Spike is still playing Buffy's bodyguard; she would have been dead.
Not a good epiphany Buffy got and asked how long slayers would live. Well that's nothing she can decide or influence except always pay attention and be on her best (well trained).
And Spike is also very torn. ~ Now you made me curious how Spike will come to SD (reading your answer) :)

Author's Response: Yeah, Buffy will definitely be stepping up on the training and not taking anything for granted when it comes to Slaying. Thanks for reviewing!

I hope Spike makes his mind up soon :( And that Buffy realizes that with him on her side the rest of her life will be longer (as well as much more enjoyable :P)

Great chapter, still loving this!

Author's Response: Oh, believe me, Buffy will be coming to the 'long life' conclusion soon. Though the 'enjoyable' one may take a little longer. :) Thanks for reviewing!

yey for spike-confusion. i like the read but i also think that spike is a tad too obvious, he should at least try to hide that he's confused - it would be more in character for him. not that i wouldn't enjoy him like you write him. update soon. and please, please make it something like a chapter!! i know that most spuffy writers tend to consider 1000 words a chapter but hell, it's not. even children's stories have longer chapters! anyway, it was a good chapter. thanks :)

Author's Response: *mock pouts* It was over a 1000 words. (Eh, this is my first fic, I'm still feeling my way around on chapter lengths. Longer chapters means fewer updates.) But I'm trying to make them closer to 1500. Anyway, glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for reviewing!

I love this story. You've turned it into a real potboiler, what with Spike's malevolent/benevolent presence, Buffy's development from valley to hero girl and Wesley's involved .... but far more objective approach to just what is going down between these two. And now he's given her the cold, hard fact of life expectancy for a Slayer and the world has closed in upon her very, very suddenly. Beyond that, we know of a corrupt ex-Slayer whom the good guys presume is dead and the horrendous moment soon to come when Angelus meets Buffy .......

Great.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're liking it! I've tried to get several different plot lines going, so that there's more going on that just Buffy and Spike getting together. And of course, we'll have Angelus the big bad to be fighting soon. Thanks for reviewing!

Love the chapter! Yay for the Spike action ;) So he'll be going to SunnyD, but not how I think he will... huh... *scratches head* ...

I'm no good with cryptic messages, I guess I'll have to wait and read :D

Author's Response: Hehe, sorry for the cryptic-ness, but I wanted to answer your question without giving too much away. :) Thanks for reviewing!

I really enjoy reading you story. The tension between Buffy and Spike is great. I hope Spike doesn't turn too soft too soon though. I can't wait until they get some alone time! Seems like Buffy's always with her watcher when Spike's around...hehe

Author's Response: Funny you should say that, because Buffy/Spike alone time is coming up! Two and a half chapters of it! No more pesky Wesley and patrolling, it's time to get things rolling toward SD. Oh, and don't worry, Spike will not be turning soft anytime soon. Sure, he's obsessed with Buffy, but going soft? Not yet. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Ah, Spike ... a vampire in love with the Slayer.. just doesn't know it yet. And love their banter. Her protector.

And Wesley.. a little useless on the help department.

Faith.. waiting to see if she is dead or undead. Enjoying.

True Confessions of a Vampire that doesn't know quite yet... he loves the Slayer.. Love the banter between the two.. makes me laugh.

Spike-Her protector.. And she should realize that Wesley would not be able to save her... most of the time..
Ah, Faith.. waiting to see if she is dead... or undead..

Enjoyed.



Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it! Yeah, Wesley would have been useless... Thanks for reviewing!
