I love this story, orginial take on the concept - I don´t think its been done this way before. Can´t wait for next chapter.

Author's Response: Biggest compliment ever. Thank you so much! :) I always try not be a copycat, even if the core concept itself isn't very original at all. More shall be up very soon! :)

I really liked this chapter, you wrote the dream in a very dreamy way. Literal dreams are always disappointing and getting the right feel for an authentic dream scene is hard to do. Thanks for the notes on the colors at the end, that was fun. I have to admit, I assumed the red was in reference to Spike picking up on Buffy's bodily functions.

Which brings me to the next thing I liked about this. I get that some people are squeamish about it but to write a story about a human woman with a vampire love and to not have her period come up at all is just strange. That seems like it'd be important to at least mention. And of course, it strikes at the worst possible moment for Buffy because the universe isn't happy unless she's miserable. Well, I guess the worst possible moment would have been before Spike started being nicer to her, so at least she has that much. But yeah, I'm glad you decided to go with this.

Emma, as always, was adorable and also as always, I can't wait for more.

Author's Response: Ahh, thank you!! :) Writing dreams is so much fun, especially because I do all kinds of wacky things that wouldn't make sense in the 'real' world. Awesome that you liked the colours too, and actually that red can also be interpreted as Spike sensing her bodily functions. That and/or the ocean turning into blood, but he definitely sensed it.

Yes! I very much +1 your opinion. There's no need to be squeamish. It happens, and Buffy is no excpetion. And of course she'd have bad luck. Where would be the fun in everything going well? ;) But as you said, she was lucky it happened now that he was actually willing to help her. Could have been worse.

More soon, promise! :) Thank you so much for reading!
