Excellent. Now I'll have to wait for your next one, and there better be a next one! (greedy aren't I?). Thanks so much for writing.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on the next one right now. :)

OK, I forgive the whelp... And Angel really has been told to butt out - but he doesn't like it... There'd be another story there if you cared to tell it methinks :-)

Great ending - I had a feeling it was a sort of Jekyll and Hyde thing, but I wasn't sure right up until it said so. I'm so relieved that you amalgamated them in the end into the wonderful entity that is Spike – the other way would have been just too exhausting. I also liked the slightly underplayed claiming; some authors make it so violent that it doesn't seem right somehow.

All in all, a wonderful tale - more please as soon as you're ready. Gill


Author's Response: Xander's grown up. There is another story there, but it would be Angel's story and I don't really find him interesting. :) William and the demon had to merge - they couldn't keep on switching back and forth like that - and Spike, that unique meld, is really who he is. I've always thought a claiming - this total commitment one to the other - would be tender not violent. I'm so glad you liked it! Already working on the next one. :)

Wonderful story, as always. I'm hoping to hear more from you. Don't take too long, please.:-)

OMG what a great story! Really different plot line. I loved the Jekyll & Hyde story. And finally Spike chose what he wanted and got Buffy and all his memories. Finally TPTB did something right. :) Go away Angel! LOL. Why couldn't you be writing S8? Then it wouldn't suck.

I agree with you..Spike knows all the things he did were wrong, he's not gonna do them again,he can't change the past. Why brood all the time and be miserable? That's annoying and that's why Angel bugs me (well that and the fact that he's a know it all with a God complex)

As usual loved that they claimed each other, so hot.
Lovely story, can't wait for your next one! ^_^

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! This story was a lot more plotty than usual and, with all the loose ends that had to be tied up, I was worried that the last chapter might be dull. I'm so glad you liked it!

I would have liked Spike to still be a professor but he seemed so ready to cast off that personality..

And nice to be immortal for Buffy so she can be with him.. and Spike to be able to walk in the light.

Enjoyed.

Author's Response: He's left the professor behind and recast himself into the fighter. But he'll have the chance now to indulge both sides of him. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Best of your fic, yet, and that's saying something. A better rounded set of the usual Scooby suspects, less polarized. A real mystery of sorts to solve. A Buffy who still has to fight against her black & white view of things, and whose initial refusal to do so in a very real way prevented Spike from reforming: she was keeping him split apart. Good writing, too, but that's usual. Thanks very much for this!

Author's Response: Willow, Giles and Xander have all grown after the events of S7 and this story didn't need the impediments they usually create since Spike's split was problem enough. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Buffy letting Spike drink was a big compliment, a show (sign) of trust.
Good answer here: There might not be a beat, but there is a heart.
Heh... I think Buffy will lock her door next time. Xander should learn to knock. ;)
Giles said a good thing - how can you know if a prophecy is translated right? Even people can make errors translating something.
No clue yet what the 'prophecy/warning' means but I can't see 'fluffy' William going to the dark side either. Maybe merging with Spike again, yeah. But YAY for Buffy to tell the other her opinion. It's her life.

Oh eaten? Spike didn't kill before and Buffy made it clear that she wants him. But evil cliffhanger anyway. :)
And only one chapter left, too bad. I'll miss the updates.

Author's Response: You know me - I can't resist cliffhangers. :D I hope I'll be able to tie up all those loose ends in the last chapter! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

The S/B here was blazingly, incandescently hot. I love seeing them like this -- as in Love, Love.

You're absolutely right, too -- those auto-translations from W&H are nothing more than an evil wikkipedia. I'm surprised they never addressed that in the series -- Wes is getting sloppy!

Nice attempt to divert there, at the end but I don't believe it for a second. Buffy is choosing Spike, and Spike is choosing Buffy. Hell, even William is choosing Buffy. Can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I never could understand why Wes, an academic, would trust those books without checking the actual sources.

I've just read all six chapters in one go and I so, so love this story. Especially the confused vamp!Spike, he's the most intriguing character by far. And Williams reaction to Angels presence was so Spike-like that I thought for sure you were gonna pull a Jekyll/Hyde thing. All is yet to be seen it seems. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: All will be resolved tonight. :D I do love vamp-Spike and I'm so glad you find him interesting. Thank you for enjoying the story!

OK - I know you'll sort this out in a Spuffy-friendly way, but it's just as well I trust you... ;-)

Another fascinating twist - it's no wonder you're having problems keeping the plot straight. I'm so glad you've raised the problem with W & H's miraculous book system. It was far too convenient and open to fraudulent use as far as I was concerned, and I was always amazed that Wes (an academic to the core) took it at face value and didn't demand to see primary sources. Translations from a language that no-one could check for accuracy takes it even further - we know how much one word mistranslated or mispronounced can change things…

I was relieved that Buffy stood up to the rest of them when it came out that she’d been sleeping with William (though actually the far more attractive Spike) and loved it that Willow is keeping her secret – though whether Xander outed Buffy accidentally or on purpose is open to discussion (he always was a dog in a manger and this wouldn’t be the first time he accidentally did something ‘for her own good’). Someone smack the boy (please!) and tell Angel to butt out for that matter…

So, a day until the denouement – not sure whether that’s too long or too short a wait… Gill


Author's Response: I never could understand why Wes was so trusting of that on AtS - it didn't make any sense that he wouldn't check out the primary sources. So here I used the translations to really get the point across. I don't think even Xander knows whether he outed Buffy on purpose or not. He does blurt out things without thinking, as in 'Pangs' when he let slip that Angel was there for Thanksgiving. I hope all the twists will be straightened out into a believable pattern tomorrow. and I won't have any loose ends that I've missed. This is the most plotty story I've tried. I'm glad you're enjoying it, but I'm worn out. :D

OMG this story is so awesome! Go Bufffy and tell it like it is girl! And can Angel fall on a stake or someting? Stupid insufferable wanker. Yeah, let's all believe prophecies translated by WR&H.
And I loved the sweet talk after the sexins'. And Spike and Buffy are so hot and so sweet, even tho Spike is a demon. Now I'm worried to see what's up with William, but I trust you.
Xander. buddy learn to knock! Geez!

Love it, can't wait to see how it ends. :)

Author's Response: It always puzzled me, that bit about the books at W&H in AtS. Wes opens a book and just asks for what he wants and it pops up. But where's the source material? How do you know what's on the page isn't a lie? And since it's two in the afternoon, Xander can be excused for thinking Buffy's not asleep. :D I'm so glad you're liking it! Thank you!

I am beginning to wonder and I don't want to ruin anything and I have to admit at first I thought like with the Xander episode when there was two but now I'm thinking along the lines of Glory and Ben. This would be a new concept of stories; I hope I didn't ruin it if I'm right but I can't help but wonder what will happen and try to figure out the answers. But I'm not the writer so I won't really know until I read them. I am so glad you have updated as often as you have looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: You guys are all too smart! But I'm not telling yet. :D I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you!

Huh.. my old review posted double.
(Regarding the last chapter I went back up to the start of it and checked what Buffy said to William. :D )
And now Buffy did it again. She'll be surprised if demon-Spike visits her again. But I wonder why William is so tired now; haven't figured that one out (except if he goes back to nighttime hours now).
Spike is good torturing Buffy, touching without touching :)
But Spike's tale explains why William was tired.

As Spike explained the Master it sounds a good idea to keep him. He holds the balance; that makes it easier for the slayers too.

I'm glad for Buffy that she gave in to Spike (it was hot, too); looking forward to Spike's reaction. And Buffy didn't notice about the invite.
Looking forward to more even if there aren't that many chapters to come.

Author's Response: Just two more. :) This story was more plotty than usual and I had to keep going back myself to make sure that things didn't get confused. I'm so glad you're liking it!

Oh, Wow...!

Loved this so much - wobbly William at the door after the disinvite (another inter-character bleed), and then Spike getting in without trouble because of it (though Angel can't - Yay!!). The idea that Spike had been away and William was so tired with no knowledge of why... The cat metaphors for Spike (especially loved the idea of the blue-eyed white leopard - that's exactly what he's like; beautiful, sinuous and dangerous until there's a connection...)

And then the Spuffy - the slow burn all the way from the club, like exquisite foreplay; and you write the sex so well - it's far sexier without the specifics - some authors must have a thesaurus of names for body parts - if I see one more use of nubbins for the clitoris, I'll go mad....

So – off for a cold shower; can’t wait for tomorrow! Gill


Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I've always seen Spike as a leopard from the start (and that prowl up the bed in Harsh Light of Day just cemented it for me), so I tend to write him that way. I think there's actually an online erotic thesaurus around, but I've never liked cute terms for body parts - why not say cock or clit right out? But specifics often get in the way of actually feeling the sex, which is far more important, so I concentrate on that. I'm so glad you liked it! :D

Poor William-tired, wobbly at the door, but love the way he stands up to Angel..

If indeed, we have the two sides of the coin. I would think William aka Spike would be disappointed that his human self was not man enough to attract fair maiden Buffy-that she loves the demon although she felt the demon was both..

And if they are one in the same - will the stroke of midnight , cause we know how Spike likes to cuddle-give us William? And how human during the day and lack of heart beat and needing blood at night?

Enjoying.. and waiting for the answers.

Author's Response: Spike knows she needs some monster in her man and was never fond of his human side. And the reasons why will come - in the last chapter. :D I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you!

God what a great chapter...lovely, hot smut as always. YUMMY!
Poor William is tired and doesn't know why huh? Gee I wonder why? I loved the scene on her balcony when you described Spike as looking all demon. It gave me goose bumps. And I love the Immortal story lol. just what the git deserves.
Now what will happen in the morning? Who will she wake up next to?

This story is amazing...can't wait for tomorrow's chappie. :)

Very compelling chapter! Woah, what a lot of heat between Spike and Buffy here. -- I love his reaction to being made love to, and Buffy's insights about his nature. I think I know why Spike can't find that twin, but I'll wait to see if I'm right.

Beautiful "connecting" here...

Sad to say but it's really better to be careful with Xander and Giles when it comes to demon-Spike.
Oh... Buffy talked to Spike again last chapter, didn't see William after that. And got to know something and accepted it (that she need a bit of demon in her man). And now William smokes like Spike does. *keeps her eyes open for more signs*
And he likes hot food. You need indeed a good stomach for this.
Buffy is right about that: It's just that Spike didn't do it for the reward. ...He sacrificed himself for me. And literally saved billions of lives while doing it. With no thought or hope of reward. But Angel does, it's about what he gets.
And Buffy learned another lesson now unconditional love, she is really getting better. Epiphany that the needs both of them, man and monster.
Ah I wondered about the missing invitation but Buffy said to William Come on in. Connected. :)
Loved Spike's reaction to Angel and Willow's reaction to Spike.
The soul? Didn't expect that.
~ Enjoyed the update, looking forward to more.

Author's Response: You guys are too smart! :D I had fun writing Spike's and Willow's reactions. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!
