Muhahaha! MUUHAHAHAAAA! Chrm-chrm... Natural reaction to angst.

No seriously, that was perfect. Yes, it was quite short and I hope at least the next chapter will be angsty as well, but what you wrote was perfect. :)

I love the way Buffy and Spike are around each other, how wonderfully they just fit together. I loved the observation about Spike in his sleep, was amused by the inevitable confrontation with Giles ( only he would awkwardly say "...replenish your energy." and Joyce who couldn't sleep because of the noise they made, and I love how the 'Earlier that Day' makes it seem like you're watching a train wreck and are incapable of stopping it.

Buffy should have told him about it - because things always come out, especially in fanfiction. Has she never read any? :P I get why she wanted to spare him the knowledge that she could see very intimate details of his life, but this hurts worse. Doesn't mean that as an author, I wouldn't have done it the same exact way. :)

Oh, Dru. I love Dru. I love, love, love Dru. Eline is fun, too, and I liked the game of chess, but nothing and no one tops Dru. (Except for Spike and the Buffybot and Anya.) When Eline was like 'Had she been watching Bugs Bunny again?', I literally awwed. Dru's adorable. :P (Probably not what you're going for, but I just love the woman any way she is written.)

And Angel is about to get really serious... I guess we're moving towards finale? Do me a favor and fit a few more chapters in there before it all ends, okay?

Loved the update, even though it was short, and am eagerly anticipating the next one. But take your time. I know life can be very full and busy. :)

Author's Response: LOL! I presume you're a fan of angst then? ;)

The next one is almost finished and I'm not going to spoil anything, but what I can tell you is... it will be written in Spike's POV and he and Buffy shall clean the air.

Bless your face! Reading your review while eating chocolate ice-cream (I don't care it's freaking 3:20am) just may be the high point of my week. So awesome that you liked all those moments! That makes me very happy. :)

Haha... 'especially in fanfiction'. :D You know it. If this Buffy wasn't as equally determined to avoid reading as the canon Buffy, she may have known. *g* But you're right. Where would the fun in that? Drama FTW!

Oh, I LOVE Dru! She's so much fun to write and read about. But I have to admit I don't enjoy her in all the fics. I need her to be Dru-like and not all writers can get the 'essence' of her, if you know what I mean. Hope my version is recognizable!

Yup, we're getting close to the final showdown. But there's still a few chapters left before that. :)

Oh yeah, tell me about it. I'll do my best to update a longer one this time though! :) And of course, thank you so much for the delightful review!!

enjoyed..
Now her secret is out and the face and memory of Drusilla topped by that would upset Spike.. even more. Now for the truth.
I see Dru has kept Angelus far away from Buffy and Spike. But not much longer I assume.


Author's Response: Happy to hear that!
Yup, the truth has a way of surfacing. It's time for them to talk.
The time is indeed running out. Not much longer before the final showdown. Thank you for reviewing, Pam!! :)
