Okay, admit it, I made you laugh (and hopefully anyone else reading these). The real deal this time. I love the juxtaposition of the framing conversations, between Willow and Angel and then at the end between Buffy and Willow. Very real, and for once on Willow's part, self reflection about what she'd done in the past -- the way she didn't support Buffy. It just highlights the lack of same from Sir Broodypants. And the Buffy - Spike moments in between were wrenching in a way, but a good way. They love each other. Truly, madly and deeply. But they've also hurt each other -- and truly, neither one of them should think -- they should just feel. Trust your feelings Luke . . I mean Spike and Buffy. They will always lead you back to each other. Maybe they need an Obi Wan.

Aww. For me? Aww. . . gonna make me cry, dammit. Don't do that. Its nearly by birthday. . . don't wanna cry on my birthday. *sniffles* I didn't want this one to end either, but hey, I know what you've got cooking (hey, I can cook bunnies, did ya know? well, plot bunnies anyway). This story was just really good and a nice way to get them all back . . . to get certain things cleared up and, well, get that happy ending I keep carping about. Thanks sweetie. Love you lots.

Summary: Altered events of Season 2. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Buffy finds herself at an 80's Flashback night club where she finds the Billy Idol impersonator a bit, uh, familiar. This is a Spuffy vampire/slayer fic, not all-human.

YOOOO Girl. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Broad (Billy Idol for those of you who don't know) and damned if you haven't captured both of them here. I am loving this story. Really, truly -- I love season 2 Spike anyway and you write such a good one. And just when I thought this was gonna be simply a PWP -- you throw me for a loop and give us one. Great, just great. And love your teen Buffy! In the midnight hour, she cried more more more!

Its okay I forgive you for taking your time. I love this story line. I really do. I think the parental sex is sexier than hell and his reactions are just. . . Wow. It just steams off the screen.

Actually, this is one of the best AtS season 5 re-writes I have seen. You don't need to explain anything, though I can understand why you felt you should. Brilliant writing so far, and I congratulate you on your nominations. And just a side note -- perhaps to explain why Lorne feels so violated. As an empath and a psychic I can tell you there is no other sin as bad as what Angel did by erasing their memories. He effectively raped them of two years of their lives -- to suit his purposes. Not the mark of a champion. Not the mark of a hero -- not by a long shot. And lastly but leastly it is definitely not the mark of a friend to do what he did. Kudos to you for pointing it out and writing about it. I can't wait to see what else you do with this.

Author's Response: Thanks so much, Niamh! I'm so glad you're enjoying, and I appreciate the input on the unique position that Lorne is in as an empath. I'm trying very hard to be sensitive to his situation, because it is much worse than even the horror the others have been through, and I hope that I'm doing him justice. Thanks for everything, and for reading & reviewing!

Date: 04/18/2005 Title: Chapter 4: Never Defeated

How to write a rape scene between two characters who are attracted to each other and eventually fall in love; Its a fine line between brutaility and wanting -- and yes your body does betray you -- again because its a fine delicate line. I am completely impressed with the way you handled this -- her emotions, from fear to reluctant attraction to her own body's betrayal. Its a line you walked very well. You covered all the bases in an honest and forthright way, no compromise to the story or the emotions, you didn't shortchange anything. Wonderfully writen. . . No flames. Kudos.

Author's Response: Your review gave me such a smile! It's really comforting and basically exactly what I needed to sooth my worries. I'm glad that you saw the emotion progression and thought that it was justified - thanks so much for taking the time to give me this review!
