So, I decided to put in a little Spike/other in this chapter. There won't be much more of it, if any.

After reading a review for the first chapter I started rethinking some plans for the story. So, the plans I had made for it have changed a bit. I'm still figuring some stuff out, but I've got more figured out too. :)

Thanks for the reviews! Keep 'em coming!

And a special thank you to Cissi!

A longer chapter. I skipped some time here too... which I'm sure everyone notices. lol. I hope you like it! Please leave reviews, good or bad I want to hear what you have to say. Any advice or suggestions are welcome too. It's good to hear anything, even if I may decide not to use it. Thanks!

Also, I wanted to thank Cissi for the inspiration for the story. I love your story Everlasting Love. And thanks to... cordykitten (you're a loyal reviewer, thanks hun), PhotographyNut, PrettyGirlBPD, Melly, flyingnicole, Minna, and djonie. PS - Spike/other is not a sexual situation in this chappie. :) And you won't have to put up with much more of it.

It's been a while. I hope I still have my loyal readers and maybe a few more picked up now. I apologize for the long wait in updates. I should be getting another one up in the next couple of days. I hope that makes up for the lack of them in the last few months. :)

Here's the new update. And in record time! Haha. Well, I hope you all enjoy it. It gets a little angsty toward the end, but this will be a Spuffy romance after all is said and done.

I left you with a slight cliffhanger last time and here is your update! I've started working on chapter 11, but I'm still trying to figure out what I want to happen with Joyce. I don't want to follow the show exactly... which I won't seeing as this is AU, but I'm not sure how I want things to go with her yet. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks! - Duchess

11. Cut Me Open by Duchess Michelle [Reviews - 2] Liked (5064 words)
Another update! I hope the frequency of updates lately has made up for the lack of them in the last few months. :) This is a long one too and there a mixture of serious talks and a little (very little) light heartedness. And there's a little sexiness to satisfy the muse too. :D Afterall I did rate this NC-17 but haven't had it since the 1st chapter.

Enjoy! And please review!!

There is some light sexual content here, but it's nothing a teenager shouldn't look at... I don't think.

I got some nice reviews & thought I'd update now! Thanks to everyone who reviewed & cordykitten for being such a loyal reviewer & to Cissi for the inspiration. :) And to Kiera for getting me into fanfic. :D

This one's just fluff... and some sexiness... enjoy!

My warning for sexual situations in this chapter is phone sex. Honestly, I don't know how good I wrote it, so be kind. I think I liked the way I got into their heads when I originally wrote it and it still makes sense to me, but when I reread it it also sounds a little corny. Review!! Tell me what you think! :)

Sorry for the delay. School's had me doing the wacky busy life of late & I had trouble adding new chapters the last time I tried, so without further ado...

18. Leaving by Duchess Michelle [Reviews - 4] Liked (2650 words)
This chapter took me a while to get a hold on. It's filled with some angst and the next few chapters will cover the situation as well. Things will get a little happier around Chapter 21. Please review!!
