Darn, these Dragvloks are everywhere.
Ah I wondered about the telephone. Well at last they are on their way to L.A. anyway.

Author's Response: We'll see... ;-)

Love this story. Great plot, dialogue & characterisations. Certainly one of the best WIPs in a sudden crowd of really good ones.
I thought Buffy took Spikes return well! Maybe there will be a delayed reaction to deal with her rejection issues? Or maybe she has just matured and got over it after 40 years! Really enjoying it. Thanks for writing.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your generous review. I agree about the great stuff out there right now. I specifically recall telling my beta that there seemed to be a renaissance of sorts happening right now in the world of Spuffy Fic. That you include my fic in that is.. well, thank you! Buffy's reaction to Spike is interesting. I think sometimes us fan fic readers forget the TV characters after we've read so much fic. There has emerged a distinct Buffy and Spike of fan ficdom who are actually a little different from the TV characters. For one, fan fic Buffy in post-Chosen stories is almost always "mourning her vampire" when I don't think the TV Buffy would have done it quite like we suggest so often. Look at Season 8. I do, and I see that Joss' opinion of Buffy's feelings for Spike is somewhere closer to the TV show than fan ficdom, but sitting in between them. Anyway, it has also been forty years where Buffy has been operating as if he was dead, and you're right, she's definitely matured. She' thinking before she's acting. She's being a bit more careful about what she does and what she betrays.
