Very sweet. Dark, and it moved very quickly. But worth a read.

Nice resolution.  Too much aftermath to just wrap it all up in a pretty bow and make them walk off into the sunset, so the fact that you just give us the glimmer of hope, that someday, when she's feeling better, they will be together.  I liked this.  Good job.
Thank you so much for reading!

Great story!  And what a clever ending to turn around the title.
Thank you so much!

What a wonderful story!! Creative all the way through with a very satisfying finale, especially Buffy finally putting the Scoobies in their place and demanding they accept Spike or leave. (Always thought Willow and Xander both needed a good slap upside the head:)

Thank you so much!

I love to see Buffy sticking up for Spike, she really gave it to the Scoobies bit time.  Thank you.
The Scoobies got on my nerves in season 6. Glad you don't mind me slapping them around a bit. :-)

Absolutely brilliant!  I loved the entire story!  The way you weaved this tale was done is such a way that even though it was only nine chapters, it held the intensity of dozens more.  Thank you for sharing this.

You are quite welcome! Thank you so much for the blizzard of reviews!

This was a great story.  I am glad Buffy had the backbone to tell her friends what she wanted.  I look forward to reading more of your stories.I

Perfect ending. I liked the way you handled Tara and Anya, I always felt that Anya with her experience as a demon should have had more input and her insight respected more by the Scoobies, so you hit the button with that aspect of the story. Tara too, should have been more the voice of reason with her background and family - Willow and  Xander of course as always, it's all about them! Terrific read.
Hopefully there are new fics to come and  I will keep reading and reviewing.

Thanks so much mazza! Another story is in progress, so hope to have the first chapter up soon.

I enjoyed your story it had some of everything even though I wish Spike would have just knocked Zander out. But I'm glad Buffy spoke up for herself for once.
Poor Spike got enough of a headache just roughing him up a bit. But yeah, I'm on the hating Xander bandwagon for the most part.

Great story! I'm glad the Scooby gang accepted Spike, even if it was only for Buffy's benefit. I'm going to miss this story. :(
Well, accepted is a strong word in terms of the Scoobie's acceptance. But at least they'll stay out of their way..

Glad you liked it! I thought about making it longer, but I think we'll leave the rest to the reader's imagination...

Xander is an ass.  I really don't like him.  Most of the time I wanna bitch slam him.  Not slap, slam.  But you kept him in character, so good on you.  Seems like this is wrapping up, which is sad.  I like the way you write and I like the pace.  Good job.
Thanks so much for the complements.

And I too find it really hard not to go over the top with Xander, because I totally can't stand him. I find it hard to rewatch some of the Xander heavy episodes because he pisses me off so very much.

Return         
You just reminded me again of how much I hate Xander.  Too, too selfish and jealous...  I hope someone other than Dawn and Tara can see how Spike is suffering from his perceived almost failure. 
Even in rewatching some of the early episodes of Buffy, I find myself wanting to pound Xander on a fairly regular basis. I haven't figured out a believable way to kill him yet...

Have I mentioned before that I think you are a wonderful writer and really know how to spin a damn fine yarn! I truly read each chapter with bated breath. I love your characterisations, they are so true and I can actually picture the scenes. Fantastic again.

And have I mentioned that you are an awesome reviewer?
Thanks so much for the encouragement!

Wonderful description of the return with Giles being pragmatic and Xander being his usual self. Hopefully his trils and tribulations when rescuing Buffy will finally earn him a bit of respect with the Scoobies. Waiting to find out Buffy's reaction when she wakes up...
Hopefully she will wake up soon (if I get all this stupid work done so I can write...)

Superb update. Love the way you portrayed the characters: Spike, Xander, willow...can't wait for Buffy to awake. I'm enjoying the (is it daily?) frequent updates.

I had a lot of it written before I started posting, hence the frequent updates.

The next chapter may take a little longer, as I am a)not happy with it yet and b) swamped at work.

But I will try to get it up soon! Thanks for the review!

Just in the nick of time.  Grossly graphic depiction of childbirth.  Nice, in a yuck sort of way.
Hope that it worked. My kids are adopted, so I never experienced that joy first hand. And I suppose demon children are a whole different ballgame...

Even after everything she's been through, she's still selfless.  Thinking of others instead of herself.  She is a true hero.  I'm so glad the PTB decided to give them a break.

Nice interplay between them, even though the situation is dire.  She's realizing he's not just your typical vampire (and what is a typical vampire?) or that he's not Angel (which is very much a good thing).  But the situation is going from bad to dire, isn't it?
I guess the typical vampire is one who hunts, feeds, and doesn't otherwise interact a whole lot with the human population. The main character vampires on the show seem to be unusual in the amount of contact they have with the normal human world. (Or as normal as the Slayer gets)

another great read! Just read all six chapters and am enjoying your writing yet again, so well written and fluid. Will Spike find the amulet (or should I say bus token) or will Willow and the gang realise they need to help, will the demon spawn arrive soon - yes you have me hooked, bring on the next chapter.

Glad to have your reviews again! Next chapter should be up soon. Just have a few details to iron out.

Wasn't a kiss that woke sleeping beauty. . . okay, so it's hardly the same, but the premise still works.  She's awake and aware, but what happens now?
Kiss, bite - probably all the same to a vampire. ;-)

I may be in the minority, but I agree with Spike biting Buffy.  It was a necessity for him to heal and gain back some of his strength.  He wouldn't be any good in the state he was in. 

Glad you liked it! Not like Buffy hasn't been nibbled before anyhow.

Excellent trigger to get Buffy out of her dazed state. Perhaps now she'll be able to help witht he hunting/search for the amulet. I love stories when Buffy & Spike have to work as a team to get themselves out of trouble without the interference of the Scoobies so that Buffy has time to come to a new appreciation of Spike and he earns her respect and affection....
More please!!!
Have you been hacking into my computer... :-)

Well, the next chapter isn't precisely that, but it's close! Hope you enjoy.

The description of her condition is vivid.  Spike's actions are in character, though his decision to leave the axe appears to be a mistake.  Good chapter.
Yeah, I thought about the axe thing. But I couldn't conceive of a way to carry a battle axe, as they were depicted on the show, and a catatonic Slayer. Anyhow, don't want to make it too easy for him...

Poor, poor Buffy.  Due to her being heavy with child, I would assume time moves differently there.  I hope Spike is able to find the amulet soon.

Love the action.  Seems you purposely placed the amulet in an easily removeable place.  Great plot device! Looking forward to some quick resolution of the problem.
Well, if Spike had kept his duster on, it would have been shielded from all those branches. Alas, he had to go and be a gentleman about the whole thing.

Well if he had kept his duster on, probably would have been fine.
But then we couldn't see his arms, which would be a crying shame ;-)

Yikes, even though I pretty much had a feeling that was going to happen my heart still sank for them when he noticed it was gone. Great update. Glad he found Buffy so early, I was afraid it would take a lot longer than that for any Spuffy interaction.

Great pacing of events in this chapter.  My only complaint is the placement of the amulet.  A forearm can easily be cut off in battle.  Why not the tried and true around the neck hidden beneath clothes method?  Mundane but practical.
