Not at risk of being boring by any stretch yet, you keep them very believable and it was time for a breather ; )
I'll second Comicbound's review as well, your including the bot isn't an easy feat and welldone. The risk with her is the same as with many Anya's: only brought in for forced "funny", out of place comments / actions. You avoid this and give her a space of her own.
Can't wait to see how this story progresses, so thank you for these regular updates! You make it impossible for me to put it aside to read when fully done : )

Author's Response: Hi Asuras! Glad you liked the chapter and didn't find it boring (I do really worry about that). We'll have some time to catch our breath from the angst now.

Oh, thank you so much for the note on the Bot! I've definitely tried to treat her like any other character - albeit with a slightly different POV and vocab. I think the Bot really wants to be helpful - that was the vibe I got from her at the beginning of S6 - so I'm trying to go with that 'theme' for her. Whatever she can do to help, she's happy to do. :)

Oh, that's a lovely compliment about not being able to wait for it to be done! I know how people worry about reading WIPS - we've all been burned - I'm so glad you like it well enough to take the chance! I won't leave you hanging, promise (barring anything tragic - knocks wood!).

Thanks for the thoughtful and lovely feedback! I really appreciate it so much! Stop back in again!

*squee* I loved it...any time they talk honestly with each other, I'm happy. Don't worry this is not boring ,even tho there is no angst, it's nice to have a lull in the heartbreak, cause I know it'll be back soon enough. Your evil muse will not allow anything less.

I agree with Buffy, they should move back to the States. Someplace isolated maybe like Montana or Idaho, or Wyoming. Hopefully they'll be able to pull it off.

I'm so glad that they started sleeping together again and that Buffy is not gonna let Disgusting Bastard ruin her life and what she has with Spike. UGH why did the Bot interrupt them? Bad Bot. ;) I hope she gets deprogrammed again for the sex stuff. I think Buffy and Spike should just concentrate on each other. But that's just me and my Spuffiness talking...3somes once or twice but not a constant thing.

Egg white and tofu quiche? Yuck! I hate tofu in anything. Poor Buffy, she needs a new diet. :] Get the Bot a new cookbook pronto!

Is it Tuesday yet? Loving it..*squishes*

Author's Response: Yay!!! I got a **Squee** from AMI!! I'm really glad it wasn't boring. When I'm not sobbing I worry that maybe it will be. LOL! But I know we need a break in there too. I hope there will actually be some laughs in the next couple of chapters. {{crosses fingers}}

Spike will, of course, work on her request to go back to the States soon. We'll see where they end up.

I agree with you on the sleeping together bit. I do think that there will continue to be threesomes, but there will also just be Spike and Buffy a lot. I haven't written anymore threesomes into the story. I was gonna ask later for people to vote on weather they'd like another one or not. My muse is happy with the two he did, but I have a spot in the story later where one would fit in well.

Poor Bot! She's just trying to be helpful, but she definitely needs a new cookbook! (and better timing) Gonna try to get Buffy some 'real food' soon! :)

I ate tofu once and ... {blech!!}} grossness! Poor Buffy!

My new favorite words are: 'Is it Tuesday yet?' and 'Is it Saturday yet?' Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!!

Thanks so much, AMI! I really *lurve* your reviews - but you knew that! {{huggles}}

What a beautiful chapter and I love the whole name thing. But the thing to give me a chuckle was Bot and her cooking. Poor Buffy to be forced to eat so healthy. I feel her pain because I don't eat healthy, myself.



Author's Response: Hey Blue Eyes!! Poor Buffy - the Bot wanting her to eat properly ... it's sad really! Another test for her to endure, no doubt!! I ate tofu one time ... {blech!} I really feel for the Slayer! Glad you continue to enjoy the story and the Bot! She has become quite a jewel!! Thanks so much. You know I love hearing from you!!

More please xD love it! Michigan maybe :) xxxx love it and love spuffy xx Lilly xx

P.s. knew you wouldn't disappoint xx bring on tommorrow xxxxxx

Author's Response: Hey Lilly!! There is lots more to come! I will put in your suggestion for Michigan. :)

I'm so glad you're continuing to love it! I really worry when I'm not ripping hearts out that it will get boring. Glad it hasn't thus far! Tomorrow will be here Tuesday! :) Thank you again for reading and always stopping in! Love hearing from you!
