Bio:


I'm just a little bit evil . . . that's what makes life fun! And, like all wonderfully evil things, I never age!

**

My whole reason for watching Buffy in the first place was for David Boreanaz. I love Bones and even Spike fans must admit that DB is a total cutie on that show. At the same time I was falling in love with Bones, I was also loving the show Leverage, most notably this guy named Christian Kane - you may have heard of him (can I just say, Gah! Oh, baby!).

I actually watched the entire DVD set of Angel before I ever watched a single episode of BtVS - because, duh - DB and CK? PLEEASE! (I have to say that I liked Angel more on Angel, the Series than on BtVS - he developed a better sense of humor in L.A.! - ok, don't hate me for it!)

When I finished watching Angel, then I bought the BtVS DVD set and watched it.

When I first started watching, I couldn't figure out why everyone was so ga-ga about Spike. I mean, yeah, totally hot and too funny, but evil, right? I know he ended up GOOD from watching Angel, but how he got there was a mystery.

Then it happened - Joss redeemed Spike, Spike fell in love with Buffy, he went to the end of the world for her and she treated him like crap (bad Buffy writers!). Then, of course, I got it. I am now in the Spike corner, on his bandwagon and leading the parade.

Like most people, I turned to Fanfic to "fix" what Joss and the other evil writers on BtVS did to Spike. I've read quite a lot and then decided to give writing a go. My first story is "Unexpected" and I *TRY* to "fix" Buffy and Spike's life. Not everything is Puppies and Blood, but hopefully, it all works out in the end {{grin}}.

Summary:

“For the hero loves the world till it breaks him” (William Buttler Yeats)

Buffy Summers is the longest living Slayer; this sounds great, but there are repercussions. Can her friends, and specifically one bleach-blond ex-enemy, turn the tide?

Do you want a teaser? I see you all nodding, so I can reveal that this story is about treasure hunting, Shakespeare, striptease, Arabian Nights, accidents, a vampire shrink, martial arts lessons, kisses, demons and a Spuffy ending. Not exactly in this order...

With this story, I was nominated at the The Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards Round 25 and won Best New Author. Thank you so much!

Too bad all the Scoobies didn't go away more often in canon and leave Spike and Buffy alone ... she might've had an epiphany about him sooner than the last minute of the last season! LOL! Loving the friendship and trust they're developing, can't wait to see where it goes!

Author's Response: Ha! As you know yourself, we as writers can fix all the stuff we think went wrong. I love it! I fully agree, between the end of S5 and S6 the budding friendship was harshly interrupted. But I have fixed that her :-)

UHT OH Willow's going down that bad path! Hope Buffy/Spike/Tara or someone can save her from that this time! Glad to see Buffy defending Spike and asking his advice .... nice friendship they have going! Very nice chapter!

Author's Response: You know, saving someone without them cooperating is a tricky thing, most likely won\'t work. Let\' see what will shake Willow this time :-)

"How ‘bout a bit of a rough and tumble with the Big Bad Wolf?” OH YEAH! C'mon, Buffy, you know you want to dance! :) I laughed over the fake fangs ... that bit was just too funny! I never thought of the after-effects of the energy of the Key - interesting!!! Wonder where that will lead? Hopefully not to badness! Great chappie! -P4S 2011.06.04

Author's Response: Just the thing Anya would do, dressing up Spike as Dracula! They never brought up the key again. But it sounds too easy, Portal closed, key poof? I don\'t think so. Look for clues about Dawn\'s keyness

I did like the bits from Dawn's POV ... She's 100% right about asking Anya about the birds and the flowers ...heehee! Not happy about Willow going 'postal' on Spike, though ... she better not hurt him! I hope someone can talk some sense into her before she really does something crazy. Oh, and yeah, characters have a habit of doing what they want, when they want ... you just *think* you're in charge ... you're not. If Rack wants in a chapter, he'll get in. Accept it. Oh, and good on Dawn for staking her first vamp! :D - p4s 2011.06.04

Author's Response: That\'s also a good feeling, when characters take over their part by themselfes, you must just type as fast as hell when they start talking :-) Also: I was very proud of Dawn, she is capable of a lot if you give her a chance. Thank you for the lovely review and don\'t fear for Spike, I have a much brighter future for him planned.

That was one of the hottest moments to be nothing more than a tender kiss ... You weave a wonderous tale, my friend! Love the way you tell a story! Can't wait for Buffy to figure out what Spike means to her! Loved it! -P4S 2011.06.17

Author's Response: *blush* thanks for the complements. I love to write Spuffy moments and I thought the tender kiss will be much more devastating to Spike (and my audience) than the desperate one they did in the show. c42, 2011-06-17

I love how you turned the songs around a bit and made them fit the new reality ... I can hear them in my head (is that bad??) heehee! You did a great job with that ... that is not easy! I've considered having Sweet visit my UNI ... but I don't think I'll have original songs ... maybe folks will start singing old standards or something heeeheee.. of course, Spike would have to sing "MY WAY ..." Loved the chapter, great job with it!! -P4S 2011.06.17

Author's Response: What do you think I heard during writing the songs? Especially lovely was \'Rest in Peace\' where JM hummed in my ear the whole time :-) Sweet in your Universe would be great, you have such a lot of songs in there already. Would love to read that (and my appologies for having no time to read and review yours, I don\'t know how you manage it...) c42, 2011-06-17

No, no, no! Go back to amnesia-Buffy! heehee! Ok ... {sigh} well, I wonder how Buffy will react now? The fact that she didn't immediately punch Spike in the nose and kick him out is a good sign ... but you never know with her! Loved the description of the fight as 'A dance of pure violence and grace.' -- cool! Can't wait for more! -p4s

Author's Response: I definitely would have loved to keep Mindwiped!Buffy around... Okay, that would have ruined my whole outline, so I\'m back to Buffy who has to think about what she\'s feeling. Also not a bad thing, don\'t you agree? c42 2011-07-03

"Spike had asked for a crumb and she’d thrown him a whole cake. Bloody hell, she was offering a whole pastry shop to him." So many wonderful linese in this one, Capella, but I have to pick this one as my fav! Although it's a hard choice! I did really love this chapter - YAY for Buffy getting in touch with her feelings and not shoving them down in the mud. Have a good vacation! -p4s

Author's Response: Thanks so much! But don\'t be modest, the whole cake was your line, I just thought that wasn\'t enough lol And you know I have a lot of reading for my vacation, sweety. c42, 2011-07-11

Hi Capella! Yes, your characters definately take on a life of their own! Mine surprise me constantly --- I often don't know what they're gonna do or say next until they do it! I loved Spike sharing that with Buffy and Buffy comforting him ... and standing up to Xander and I loved the tale of how Spike met Kareem and them feeding each other - very hot! Can't wait for more! -p4s 2011.10.09

Author's Response: Thank you, my dear. Yes, the story is heating up and I know that you like that a lot :-) I think, knowing about Spike\'s mum will give Buffy a much better inside into his character - and a comparison which is not so flattering for Angel.

First of all - YAY for getting the exploding stars in there! You fleshed that out wonderfully, then, of course pulled the bed out from under us! heehee! Very hot! Secondly, I wish Buffy wouldn't hold bad - go ahead and kick Whitebread in his brass balls! :) Loved many of Spike's lines in this one, too! And Buffy finally coming around! Can't wait for the real thing! :P

Author's Response: Thank you my dear, but you gave me the kick off for that. I like the \'interruptus\' cliffhangers obviously. I swear, I never do it on purpose, that\'s the bad influence of my muse (which has bleached blond hair) :-)

Yay all around!! I couldn't agree more that Spike must have money tucked away somewhere and simply chooses not to use it. It's more fun getting it out of the Scoobies ... I always thought when Spike offered Buffy money in S6 when she was working at the burger joint, he meant more than kitten money ... that he had 'real' money tucked away that he could access - perhaps in Europe, not easily obtainable right on hand, but still there. Loved the Dr. Who comment, as well! :) Only sad part was that Riley didn't get beat up more ... heehee! Great chapter!

Author's Response: I really think \"The Doctor\" in this episode was an homage to the show all along. Just as the lines about the DVD\'s and Red Dwarf :-) Duh, if you are around for 120 years you will have money with interest. Especially if you don\'t care about spending it. I just hope that Sam will beat up Riley, it was him after all who messed everything up with his hatred. They could\'ve been gone before the Scoobies arrived otherwise. c42, 2011-11-22

Reserving judgement ... don't like human Spike, but you know that already. Interesting choice to use the 'saids' - certainly not distracting enough to hurt the story for me, just a different personal perference - that's what makes us all different and wonderful, right? Spike always liked to eat 'people food' so is it that much different now? I can definately see him wanting to get out into the sun, tho and also look at his reflection... So, he got his soul back too? And no making with the crazy/broody at all?

Author's Response: No crazy broody. Thought that had been done to death. Also, he\'s had something of a conscience for a while in my story. Thanks for commenting.

Wow - that makes things totally complicated and awkward ... The graphic sex with Giles - hot. Were people grossed out by that? Hope not. I think Giles/ASH is very attractive and, depsite the 'father figure' he is for Buffy and the original gang, Dav hasn't really been in that role very long. I liked her inner debate, esp this ending: 'her conscience committed seppuku rather than continue to exist in dishonor' ... funny. There is no shame, Giles deserves love too! Just might've been easier if it wasn't with Xander's ex ... but ... oh well. And now to the thing that does upset me - Spike being alive. Me no likey non-fangy Spike... :( I must continue reading however, on the hope that you can fix this horrible mis-step... :)

Author's Response: Glad you liked graphic sex with Giles. A few people weren\'t pleased, which I can understand, but it felt necessary to go there. Ah, the quandary of non-vamp Spike. I\'ll let you get there on your own. Thanks for the comments!

OH DRAT!!!!!!! That's what I was afraid of! You made him a real boy! Ok ... my only hope now is that the pseudo-Mohra can make him alive but not take away his super strengh and healing ... Please? Please don't turn him into William ... I mean, I love Wiliam, but Buffy needs Spike - {grumble, grumble} .... And gone three weeks? Wow, I lost track of time like they did ... And ok, yay!! Riley - finally found his backbone! I never hated Riley horribly, so I'm good with that. Now to worry about what Prof Walsh will do to find them ...

Author's Response: Hey, thanks again for going in depth with the chapter. I debated about the time lapse--initially I was only going to have them gone a week, but that seemed like not enough time to cement everyone\'s feelings in place. I hope it wasn\'t confusing.

Date: 01/23/2012 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Ok, let's see ... first worry - The stuff they're pumping into Spike is like the Mohra demon? The one that made Angel a 'real boy'?? I hope that the pseudo-mohra doesn't have that effect on Spike! Second funny - I knew Andrew would add some levity and he did. Good job on him! Third - Loved Ripper. I think Giles' voice was spot on and I loved the glasses on and off and then finally him giving up on it. I wonder if Giles will actually let Ethan walk ... he's been on the verge of killing him more than once in the past, this could be his chance. Forth - surprise - they have Faith? And she's cooperating. Buffy may not be much of a joiner, but Faith isn't either, unless they promise her some alone time with Buffy or something... My only 'criticism', which is really a small one and I hope is taken constructively, is the word 'said' ... he said, she said ... there are lots of other words that could be used that convey more than the word 'said' ... like Xander pleaded or begged, Andrew teased, Giles scolded, Eddie admitted ... I know, that's really picky, but it would raise the level of writing another notch from very good to exceptional. I'm very much liking the story and think you've got the characters down very well and the plot is intriquing.

Author's Response: Hey, thanks for the detailed comment. Also, all the saids were a stylistic choice. I try to show people how the characters are acting, rather than tell them. If the dialogue is strong enough, it should be able to convey that Giles is scolding or that Eddie is admitting. I hope it\'s not too distracting.

First, thanks for the explaination on the blood sharing - that makes pretty good sense - keeping them equal. I loved the love scene in this chapter - not gonna call it smut 'cos it was more of a love scene, a very sad one really. I think you really conveyed Buffy's feelings of desperation there well. I liked her giving him the words, even if she wasn't sure (are we ever really *sure*?). And I LOVE THE SONG. I've never heard of that singer before, but that is a lovely little song, I'll have to check out more of her work. I like your take on Adam and Prof. Walsh - obviously, she couldn't have been such an insano bit-ca all her career and get to that position, so the explanation is good - doesn't make me like her any better, however, esp torturing Spike. I like Spike growly - defiant - he can take pain, he had the best teacher in the world - Angelus. Shocked me with Giles using 'fuck' ... I would've expected 'bollixed' up, but that was very harsh and out of character for him and I know that's how you intended it. Yes Xander, you are an idiot. So where is Oz? I get that Willow broke up, but did he leave town or ... still sitcking around? Hopefully Ripper can take out some of his frustration over the kids eating all his cake on Ethan and clear the dark magicks from town so they can find Buffy and Spike soon.

Author's Response: Glad the blood sharing makes sense now and Walsh makes a little more sense in my version of events, too. Giles is going to get more and more shocking. Oz is still in town. He\'s not going to play a huge part in the future--I wrote him out. So happy you liked the song.

Nice bit of smut, even with the voyuers that were watching. So, by Buffy taking blood from Spike ... that helps counteract what he's taken from her? Lessens his desire to bite her? Not sure I'm completely following that idea, just want to make sure. Or it gives her control over him as well - balancing the scales?

Author's Response: Glad you liked the smut. I worried it was a bit too talky. Buffy taking blood from Spike was some heavy-handed symbolism on my part. It lessens his desire to bite her and balances the scales. She earns back power because she\'s not just food. They\'re equals.

Oh, another thought - now, does Angel being dead break the blood bond between Buffy and Spike? Or just keep it from getting stronger over time as Giles feared? Hmmm .. you'll probably tell us later, it just occured to me to wonder that.

Author's Response: Since Spike never bit Buffy, the bond between them will fade. It\'s the vampire that bites who has all the power.

Wow! Lots of surprises there! Giles staked Angel!?? OMG! Go Giles! Although, I think he might've been better to use Angel to find Buffy first. With their connection, Angel might've been the best chance. I wonder at Giles just going to sleep the night before with Buffy missing, honestly, doesn't seem in character no matter how tired he was. And Willow sleeping with Xander - gotta say, I hope Dav doesn't take him back - that's just .... almost as bad as leaving Anya at the altar. I hated Xander after that - that and the fact that he was so shitty to Spike. I never could feel sorry for Xand after that atrocity. This is right up there, IMO. Glad Riley is showing some humanity, hopefully he'll grow a backbone too. Love Spike singing to Buffy - one of my favorite things he does to comfort her.

Author's Response: I think Giles acted rashly, too. That\'s explained a bit later. Giles fell asleep on his couch with all his clothes on after taking a flight from England. I know when I took that trek, I was not only a bit sick from the flight but falling asleep on the train. I think Giles is a hell of a man, but a man nonetheless. I was going for a parallel with him leaving Anya at the altar, but not quite so bad. After all, he didn\'t humiliate Dav in front of her family and friends. He is being a stupid, stupid boy, though. Love the Spike singing to Buffy bit, too. That was one of the first scenes for the story that came to me.

I love Andrew! That whole scene with them in the coffee house was wonderful - had me laughing out loud! Not sure what Spike thinks would happen if he brought Dru back tho - or is this some kind of test of his own for the Slayer? Be mine or I'll bring Dru back? I don't know - I'm a little confused, he seems to want Buffy, of course, to love her, but at the same time warning her of the bond/claim and not wanting it to be about that .... Does Spike actually know what he wants?

Author's Response: Spike is torn. He still loves Dru, he loves Buffy. More than anything, he\'s hurt that Buffy didn\'t tell him about this whole Dru thing and just let him suffer. It\'s that same parallel though--Angel can\'t exist if Dru\'s to come back. In a weird way there\'s also jealousy about Buffy\'s feelings for Angel. It\'s a mess. You\'re right to be confused, because the characters are, too. Glad you like Andrew. I love Tom Lenk.
