Aloha My Love by Isabel Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 393]
Summary: Some summer fun to cure winter blues. After Buffy suffered a nasty knee injury on the job, her friends think it would be nice to pay for her to take a little vacation. The problem is, all of her friends are too busy to go with her, except Spike. But what would a vampire do in sunny Maui for two weeks? Heat things up, what else.

Taking Advantage by chanel 5 Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 22]
Summary: Spike would never take advantage of an ever-so-slightly sloshed Buffy and a perfectly innocent dare, now would he? Just what kind of evil, nasty, blood-sucking vampire do you think he is? ...oh, right, never mind then.

Oh, this is heartbreaking so far! Your ability to capture her shock and pain from all these new realizations is done very well. I'm getting choked up with Spike's past without her. So good! Ok, going to read more.

The Truce by Eternal_red Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 442]
Summary: Once in a galaxy, far, far...oh, that’s been done. Right then. Humankind has been at war with the Aurelians for decades. When the two sides finally reach the point where negotiation is better than annihilation, a truce is called and a treaty negotiated on the planet currently under dispute. The peace treaty is cemented symbolically by the joining in marriage of the two youngest soldiers present, thereby throwing Buffy and Spike into a relationship that they really, really, don’t want. Although not a traditional Vampire versus Slayer scenario, it is close enough to be familiar.

I just found this yesterday and was SWEPT AWAY with your writing. You've incorporated so many of my favorite elements into this story and it's simply gorgeous. I can feel the surroundings as if I were there, every detail is so beautifully illustrated and your characterizations are believable, no doubt a daunting task in this genre. Well done! I look forward to more from you.

Author's Response: Well that makes two of us as I love your fic too. Thank you I shall cherish your review and hug it at regular intervals.

As she arched her back before him like the figurehead on a ship’s prow, he bowed down his head to drive the waves against her once more. Gorgeous imagery right there.

And Faythe, bless her for bringing some foresight into the story! Oh yes, Buffy, you just might regret taking so long to give him a chance if you lose him, especially with the spooky prophecy in the works. I assume spooky, because you cliff-hangered it like some kind of evil temptress.

And Yay! Andrew and Anya!

Author's Response: I've never been called an evil temptress before. I like it! For someone who had never read romance novels until recently (for research purposes only of course) I seem to be making up for lost time, so I'm pleased you liked the ships prow stuff. At least it wasn't a train and a tunnel (smirks).

Summary:

Wha’s the real reason for your knickers bein’ in a twist aside from the possibility you put your plug in sideways?” …. “The fact you’re still breathing is number one on a very long list of reasons and oh-my-God... crude much?” Romance, comedy and mild angst.

Date: 05/03/2008 Title: Chapter 16: Plans within Plans

What a fantastic chapter! I have a question, one I could easily answer myself should I re-read, but I'll just ask you instead. Did you not mention something in this story between Angel and Spike concerning a bet? Am I imagining this? That they bet 'who would get her first'? And if so...I can only see bad things coming from that. ANYWAY...I can't wait for their Blood Ties marathon as well as Buffy's realization of how she acted the night before. God, I love the pacing of this story! Please more!!!! *hugs the shizznit out of you*

Author's Response: Nope, SPike never agreed to the bet, but he got cut of by the unexpected entrance of a colleague of Angel's - so he didn't have the chance to tell him he wasn't agreeing to any bet. He thinks way too much of Buffy for that. But it will come out later, trust me. I'm so glad you liked the update hon - snuggles you close and thank you for the review.

Tina!!! I'm so glad to see this story posted, though my heart goes out to you for your recent loss. I hope things your father's health improves and that you're coping well. You're spoiling us with a chapter, I know I'd have shut myself off from the world with a bucket of ice cream at this point and cursing at the computer. Hope you're doing well and I'm hugging the crap out of you right now.

Author's Response: THanks honey, I do hope its a good sign that my dad's operation is being delayed, and at least my mil is at peace now. Hugs the crap out of you right back, luv ya babe.

Summary: One slight mistake in a spell intended to re-soul Angelus lands Buffy in an alternate universe where no one is who they should be, and nothing makes sense. She’s desperate to return to her home, but when she starts to fall for her new Watcher, William Pratt, she begins to wonder where she really belongs. AU after the events of Innocence.

Man, I'd be going crazy if I were Buffy. Which Spike to choose? Evil Spike...sweet William... Oh, who am I kidding? It isn't Sophie's Choice here, just pick one and move on, hahaha! Like any of us should be so lucky to have to make that decision. *sighs* Lovin' it, as usual. More please?

Author's Response: Seriously, Buffy should be damn grateful I've given her the choice! Heh. Can't say either would be the wrong decision. Glad you're lovin', more soon!

I knew it! I just knew Nathan was behind that guardian! *clenches fists* Such a heartbreaking chapter and I'm so sad for Elizabeth. What a difficult choice for her to make, I only hope it doesn't come back to torture her more than she's already endured. Lovely ending with the blood, however bitter sweet it may have been. It was a nice nod to who they are and the bond they share. Still enjoying the hell out of this! And now I have to sleep before I pass out. It is well past my bed time! Look what you did to me, haha!

Author's Response: haha yep--evil Reverend all along! I'm glad you enjoyed the bonding scene. Also flattered to hear that you lost some sleep lol. Thank you so much for reviewing! It really is a pleasure to hear from you : )

So, I just read this AGAIN in the hopes that another chapter would magically appear, hahaha! You HAVE to continue this at some point. I'm sure your historical piece is taking up a lot of time, but the premise of this one is just too good to let go! I thought I'd try pumping you up a bit to see if that might inspire you to write.

Or, ooh! What about a cheese plate? Back rubs? Free beer? I offer you these things on this day of worship. May my sacrifice be met with bounteous chapters, oh Pants of Annie.

Author's Response: Ha I'm seriously holding you to that free beer. You can't just promise it and not deliver : ) So glad to hear you're interested in the story! The deal with it is this: 1.) I totally suck at writing more than one story at once (for which I bow to your genius) and 2.) The drafts of this story are on my old dead computer and I haven't gotten around to rummaging for them. I really hope to continue, but on the off chance that I can't, I might consider giving the story up for adoption. So...it'll be finished one way or another. The pep is much appreciated!

Fabulous! Fabulous! Oh man, I was actually pissed that I had to stop reading so that I could watch the season finale of LOST. But you can bet I was back on my computer as soon as the credits rolled! I just love this and I hope you don't make us wait too long for the next chapter. I'm really enjoying your writing style and it definitely has its own unique stamp, so bravo! It gets tiring reading the same phrases and the same scenarios all the time. This is really something special, funny, touching, charming, heart breaking and hopeful. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Oh, wow, I have friends who are obsessed with LOST, and I'm not sure anything could drag them away, so it's quite nice to hear my story ALMOST did. :) I definitely won't make you all wait too long for the next chapter, hope it makes you happy. Thanks so much for the compliments, hearing from a writer like you that you enjoy my writing style is quite an ego boos, I have to say!

Author's Response: Whoops, meant "boost"!

Now I’m just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth.” Okay…actually that had nothing to do with the plot, but I love that quote. Anyway…think post-Chosen and a little blonde Slayer ready to get back what’s hers – at any cost. Spells, time travel, and a whole lot of fluffy goodness!
