Great chapter. I'm so sorry for your troubles. I hope you are able to find some calm in the storm whether it is your writing or something else.

Author's Response: Thank you hon - I'm sure I will find some calm, not every day can be bad. I have ups and downs, but on the up days, I try to take adantage of them. THanks so much for the review sweetheart - kisses.

Sorry to hear about the problems you're having in real life. You have my utmost respect for even attempting to right with something like that going on. It goes above & beyond the call. What an awesome chapter! Totally didn't expect that ending! Good luck...with the story and with real life

Author's Response: So glad you liked the chapter hon - an the surprise ending. I felt I had to post so people knew i didn't just disappear - I can't stand leaving any WIP infinished. THanks for the review and your understanding darling - hugs you tight.

As always wonderful work! I hope things work out for you. Best of luck and wishes.

I'm so sorry to hear the latest news going on with you... I think you're truly amazing for sharing so much of yourself to everyone of us readers. For the first half of this story, I could not stop thinking about how you could write something so hearfelt and touching, all the while going through some real heart breaking times.

I totally did not see the whole "first time" thing coming... looking forward to the next chapter.

Much love...

Author's Response: Thank you so much for being so understanding - divorce is never easy no matter how amicable it can go. But I adore my readers and my writing and felt bad for my absence when I'm so used to posting on a regular schedule - thus the need to share what's going on if for nothing else than for readers to grant me some patience. Glad you liked the Buffy virgin twist - I couldn't resist, lol. Thanks for being such a sweety - hugs you tight.

*wraps you in a fierce hug*

Oh sweetie that is so horrible, and here I was thinking that you were helping ur dad. Men can be so cruel sometimes and always have the worst timing. My thoughts are with you always hunny and I wish you 100 good days to a bad one.

As for your fic it was wonderful as always. I almost fell off my chair when I saw that you updated coz ya know wasn't really expecting it. So you definitely brightened my day. I love how Spike is so taken with her and finally explained to her about his family. I loved how Buffy has surrendered herself to him and embraced their love even trying to cook for him!! Aww.

Also loved the fan art, they rock!

Be thinking about ya love and sending plenty of luck to protect your little nibblets your way too. I have come to find that most people that post here have a great heart and are very understanding. Get RL fixed and working well again hun. *hugs*

Author's Response: Hugs you right back darling - I need them. I'm still holding out for my dad, no news on the front in that area which has me concerned, but only time will tell what will happen there.
I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the chappy... they've come aloooooong way, haven't they - they deserve a 'happy ending', giggles.
Thanks for the beautiful review and all your well wishes too darling (very much appreciated)- luv ya.

I know many have said this before me, but I thought I would add my voice to the many and say that I am soooooo sorry for everything that you've been going through recently. I hope writing and everything else starts to bring you joy again and that your good days become far more frequent.

That being said, I obviously completely adored this chapter (how could any one not????) and can't wait for the next one (whenever it comes because I know you have a lot more important things going on). This has been one of my favorite stories since the very first chapter and I absolutely LOVE where it is headed. Hope everything starts going better for you!!!!!!

Author's Response: THank you hon, my writing means everything to me - the poor muse just wouldn't crawl out from under his rock lately - making appearences only every now and then. Hopefully he'll come back permanently soon.
YAY - so happy you liked the update and the direction our couple is now headed in. GOd knows they deserve a happy ending after everything they've been through. THanks for such a lovely review sweety - huggles and snuggles.

Thank you so much for the long chapter. It was very good and much appreciated. I am sorry that you are going through a rough time.

Author's Response: You're most welcome, I'm just glad you enjoyed it darling, and thanks so much for the review and the well wishes - smooches to you.

My heart goes out to you and yours but I know that nothing I say can possibly make it any better. I really hope your good days become more frequent because they in turn would appear to be good days for us too. Your life is real this quite obviously is not (it isn't is it?) and I will wait for as long as it takes to read your brilliant work. I assume this was written on a seriously good day! Thinking of you. x

Author's Response: But what you just said does help. Understanding ,well wishes and prayers will help me heal, they really will, thank you so much for that and the review sweetheart. Hugs and kisses.

I died finding this post I have so been looking forward to reading where this was going. I am so sorry you are having such a rough time tight now in your personal life and finding any sort of muse right now has to be next to impossible. Thank you so much for your update

Loyal fan!!!

D.

Author's Response: Yeah, the muse isn't too cooperative lately tho I am doing my best to coax him out. Thanks for understanding boo and for the review - glad you enjoyed the chappy - snuggles.

Tina, sweetheart, you know I love you and support you no matter what. Like many of the others, I feel saddened that you felt you had to share such a very private RL situation wtih your readers, but knowing you as I do and like someone else mentioned before me, I understand why you did. You have a huge, honest heart and it shows in moments like this. You be strong and know that your friends and your readers support you 110%. *hugs you tight* You know where I am if you need me, for anything, my friend.

As for the chapter... it's bloody brilliant and I know I've told you that, but I feel the need to say it again because I'm me and your you and that should explain it all, yes? Seriously, I love this story and I love the direction you've taken with it. The little nuggets of truth you've sprinkled throughout this story about Buffy's virginity have finally payed off in this chapter and I know the next chapter will be as wonderfully dynamic as all the rest have been. You post when you can and feel you are able, girlie. This story will always be worth its wait, trust me. Readers will flock because they know, as I do, you are an awesome writer and a wonderful person and the research, heart and sweat you put into your work makes it shine. Love you!

Author's Response: You are such a good person and such a good friend. I'm thankful for that more than you know darling. I hated to share this info with everone but in a way felt it necessary since i pride myself on posting regularly and didn't want ot be considered another author who abandons their work. So far, everyone has been very understadning thank heavens, and all the prayers and well wishes I've received do make me feel better.
You know I'm thrilled to bits you liked the chapter. Yeah, I left little clues every where about Buffy and even Angel and William's relationship - kinda like easter eggs, giggles. Thank you for such a heartfelt and wonderful review darling - you know I love you dearly my sister - hugs and kisses.

I knew it! I knew she was a virgin! Hehe... Great chapter, and I hope everything in RL works out for you.

Author's Response: Hahahhahaaha, yup, you guessed correct. Glad you liked the chapter my darling friend and thanks for the wel wishes as well as the review - huggles you tight.
