I do adore their banter. They just have a special connection.

Buffy's really fitting in with the gang. They're all open and friendly, which I'm a little surprised by. I love the Spike and Buffy banter and Spike getting her to stare into his eyes was hysterically in character.
Author's Response: Fitting Buffy into the Scoobies was one of the most difficult parts of this fic for me. I mean, who moves to a new town and receives two built-in best friends? But that's almost exactly what happened on the show. Everybody was just there, practically waiting for her. Here, they've already been fighting vampires, but they're ready for the new Slayer. Thanks for reviewing!

Hm, seems Buffy is having a hard time with her emotions about being the slayer where Spike is concnerned despite the fact she hired him. Methinks she's realizing maybe it isn't such a good idea to have any feelings for him at all. Loved the last bit - Spike was so naughty to say 'I've seen it before' - way to confuse the poor girl. It's tough sometimes to really understand - at least for me - what Spike is really thinking, so it will be interesting to see this story play out when he does have to help Buffy where his family is concerned, or whow he reacts when Buffy is truly in danger. Great chapter hon, bravo. Hugs.
Author's Response: As for Buffy wanting to keep feelings and Slaying separate, it was her plan (she did want to know if he was in love with her before she hired him, after all), but it isn't working out so well. She's having feelings whether she wants to or not. And of course Spike has to be naughty, he's Spike. :) He's thought there was the possibility for more than business since they made the deal, though he's not going to push it too much. As for what Spike is really thinking, there'll be some Spike-internal thoughts in a couple of chapters, and some other stuff before that. I'm glad you liked, and thank you so much for reviewing!

Mmmmh so Spike knows more (facts) about Buffy then vice versa.... kind of an advantage.
Loved the scene at the end of the chapter :)
Author's Response: Well, she did get to read the information on him in the file that Giles had, so I figure they're about even. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Enjoyed the chapter, especially the B/S scene, of course :) Looking forward for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! More B/S coming soon! Thanks for reviewing!

Once again loved it! And it seems Buffy is getting more in touch with her feelings, wanting Spike to see her as more than the Slayer! YAY!! (and Spike being all with the flirty innuendo was really yummy!)
Can't wait for more,
*hugs*
Author's Response: Well, she's not so much getting in touch with her feelings, as her feelings are subconsciously leaking out. So don't expect any big revelations. Yet. :) Thanks for reviewing!

I like the conversations between your Buffy and Spike. They are entertaining and not overly campy. Very nice balance and it is believable.
Author's Response: Glad you think so! Thanks for reading!

Well, a little banter... made me laugh..
"You could change here. I’ve seen it before"--such a man..
Author's Response: 'Such a man...' That he is. :) Glad you liked the banter! Thanks for reviewing!

This is all I look forward to in life, really!! You know I enjoy this fic sooo much!!
Author's Response: Then what will you do after it's done, LOL? :) Though, I must say, it's longer than I ever thought it to be. It's taken much longer to get where I wanted than I thought it would. But someday, after it's done, I've got another human Buffy/vamp Spike one planned, and a season 4/5 epic after that. Anyway, thanks for reading!
