Okay, so Tara knows about vampires. Interesting. I have to admit it's a bit weird to read about vampires in this story since it's the sequel to an all-human fic, but it's a good kind of weird. Please keep the chappies coming! :)

Author's Response: Hi Pet. The plot bunny came to me and just wouldn't go away. I had the idea even before CL was finished and had a little play with 'normals' being made aware of the world of demons and such in ALOP. It's just how my twisted mind works - figured it might be something completely different! Tee hee!! Glad you think it's 'good' weird! LOL

You took the warning down again from the "main page" (recently added). It doesn't show Spike/other now. In my opinion it needs to show that (my opinion like I said). You don't have to write Spike/Dru if you want to give the plot away but I prefer to be warned before (especially when Spike is together with Buffy when it happens). Then I would have waited till I read and decided after reading the end if I would. Because in this situation "watching" Spike sleeping with Dru in the last two chapters? I could have done without it.
I'm not saying that it isn't a clever twist because it is. But Spike/Dru now? *shudder again thinking of the last chapter*
It's easier for me and the author if I stay away from stories I can't stand to read.

I liked Tara here, being able to help because she had a clue that Spike is becoming a vampire. Her being a witch may save him. With Buffy a 'normal' human she can't fight against Dru.

Author's Response: Hi Cordyk. The warning must have disappeared in the change over - I certainly didn't take it down so thanks for pointing it out. I have heeded your advise and put the warning on there properly. There is also another on there that might make you a little easier about the outcome of this fic! No more shudders me thinks :) Thanks for carrying on to read - sorry for annoying/upsetting you - hangs head in shame. :)

Wow, Mabel, why wasn't I surprised that this Tara was a witch as well? I love her 'net biz! Glad to see another chappie up so quick. Loved her explanation about parallels...and also love it when somebody writes Tara as she should've been (I'd heard Joss wanted to bring her back evil in S7 and Amber had refused to do it, if that's true), as a knowledgeable, useful resource, a strong if quiet woman, sensible, togetther and close to her Wiccan roots and powers. Seems like you've got her spot on. I'd thought at first, since she was with Rich, this Tara was just a filler character, a familiar name to a generic character, perhaps...glad to see otherwise. Will we be seeing Willow? (How wicked a turn could it be for our Willow to see this Tara, should she and Buffy have to fetch a wayward Dru? sorry you've got my mind wandering possible 'parallels' now!) Speaking of, if we have a wayward Dru, any chance of a wayward Slayer coming thru to fetch or stake Dru's skanky ass? Please say yes! (Besides, I think this Spike would have a cow to see that kind of alternate Buffy!) Are we doing the old Hollywood "Love at First Bite" type 'three bites to become a vampire' routine? If so, does Spike have 1 or 2 bites left to go since Dru hacked into his tattoo (awww...that was something, a memory for him to cherish and she messed it up!) So, he still is technically alive; he has a heartbeat, so still pumping blood, but has no reflection in mirrors... not gonna try out holding a bible or cross, a host (not Lorne), Holy water, and he might be feeling the effects of dawn on a vampy schedule already? (or he might just be tired from Dru shagging the daylight(s) right outta him) and what about sunlight affecting him, burning him? Can't really try a stake without possible permanent results, but garlic? And various other anti-vamp remedies and folklore? Will Tara show up supplies in hand to check him out? I gather he has breath the way he was hyperventilating (sounding) in his panic attack???
LOL! Fun, fun! Glad you give us such food for delightful thought.
Thanks, til next time,
Kara

Nice explanation of what's happened and at least Dru only had this Spike when she had him in a thrall but it still makes me feel a little sad. Having said that I love the interesting twist you've got going and I can't wait to see where you take this next - hope it's soon.

Author's Response: Hi Sam. A thrall is the only way he'd ever let Dru near him but it just wouldn't have been believable if she hadn't had her evil way!! I'm delighted that you like the plot twist. Thanks for letting me know :)

I really, really, really love how you're writing Tara - gentle and kind but strong and assertive when she needs to be. That's how her character should have been written in the show! Great update! More soon please!!

Author's Response: Hi Melly. Glad you like what I'm doing with Tara. I do tend to make the characters how I think they should be rather than how they were - that's why I write fantasy rather than canon I suppose. Thanks for letting me know :)

So that's how it's all come to pass , I couldn't understand how she was getting in the room or anything, let her appear when buffy's there and she'll get a nice dusty end. The only problem i've had is that she had sex with Spike that was icky , thank god it wasn't graphic. You have kind of a devious mind you know.


Author's Response: I do indeed! Twisted is a word often bandied about! LOL! Seriously - I know many on here in particular hate Spike/Dru but if I had written it without her having sex then I don't think it would have been 'right'. No way would Dru not do what I had her do!! I think you'll like what I've got in store!! *hugs*
