Your treatment for Xander in this chapter is wonderful - loved their conversation in the kitchen. Nice to have a change from their mutual animosity that was part of the series and for many fanfiction works.

Loved this chapter! Really liked how Spike and Xander bonded. Can't wait for more of this story.

Author's Response: I always wanted Spike and Xander to bond, and was sorely disappointed when they didn't. grrrr! Thanks for the review Pet!

As I told you before, there's so many thing in this chapter I loved, first and foremost Spike. The way he spoke to everyone was so heartfelt and to the point, and at least he got to Xander, Anya and Tara, that's progress. Now Giles and Willow, sadly, are another story. *sighs* How stubborn they can be. *sighs some more* I absolutely loved the conversation between Xander and Spike and I adored that your Anya is so much more than just a woman begging for orgasms. You gave her a voice that Joss didn't. She was so severely underused in the series, same as Tara, but I guess that's what fanfic is all about, righting the things we didn't like. Fantastic update and I can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I loved writing the conversation between Xander and Spike - neither one had much of a male buddy on the series and I felt that at some point (had certain things not happened) they would have become at least pool buddies. I hate the way is protrayed in a lot of fics as only asking or talking about orgasms... she was a freakin 1000 yr old demon, hello? KNOWLEDGE people! Thanks for all your help dearest, couldn't have done it without you!

LOVE IT, CANT WAIT TO READ MORE!!

Author's Response: Tee hee, glad you like it! AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WRITE MORE! Thanks for the review!

“He has a point…and my God, I didn’t just say that,” Xander said, recognizing the logic, but somewhat disgusted with himself. --- *snigger*

“My God, you’re thicker than Angel’s broody forehead. I’ll use simple terms then, Watcher.” --- *cackle*

He was tearing up at this point, all his frustrations pouring out at the people that had caused Buffy so much grief. He sobbed into his hands as his body shook. “She was my salvation… my bright, golden light. Now, she’s barely half a person.” --- *sob*

*sob*

*sob*

YAYYYY! Awwwwww!!!!

Hmmm....!!!!


I LOVE the chapter, the fic and you. And thank you. For many things. Including slapping me upside the head when needed and opening my bloody stubborn eyes.

*wugles*

Author's Response: So let's see... first you sniggered, then you cackled and now your sobbing? Woman, are you moody or what??? LMAO And no thanks are necessary for the slap up side the head - it's free of charge :D ITYS!

Great Spike/Xander scene. I really enjoyed their conversation, and it was fun to see them bonding a bit. :D Wonderful update!

Author's Response: I tried to figure out what two guys would bond over in a short amount of time... BINGO! It was either alcohol (not available), porn (DEFINITELY not available) or comics... YES! Thanks for the review Mary!
