wonderfully done
enjoying your characters interactions
please write more

Just so you know, this story is absolutely amazing. I can't believe it's your first attempt. Your writing is excellent. You've got me hooked to every word. I'm really excited for more.

nice story. Enjoying the interaction between Spike and Buffy.

You've updated, thank you for not letting it go. It's a wonderful fic. Glad she's letting her feelings show. Hope you can continue to post again. Really enjoyed the way they interact together, both over reacting, but still wanting each other. Looking forward to more.

The story just gets better and better. I love how you put in what they are thinking as well as what they are saying. You're such a clever writer!

Great chapter. Wonder if the hellhounds were just a coincidence or the next test?

great chapter :D

very happy you continue to update this fine tale. thanks for the very good read.

OH that was great so I wonder if the council set the hell hound on her.

Some really nice spuffy too.

um...yeah, buffy...you could do something about that... :P lol

this was an excellent chapter, love, love the changing dynamic between them, and how buffy's starting to come around a bit...and something tells me there'll be more than would-cleaning going on next chappie :)

Love your story please write more soon!

Long time no update, right? Anyway it doesn't matter because I love reading stories from the beginning when I realized I've forgotten a little =) You must be really talented if this is your first fic. Great update.

Sorry, I accidently posted this review on previous update.

Hellhounds, eh? They're definitely serious about those tests.

Long time no update, right? Anyway it doesn't matter because I love reading stories from the beginning when I realized I've forgotten a little =) You must be really talented if this is your first fic. Great update.

ahh keep writing i love this story!!!!

Hot damn, Riley is one persistant *wanker* isn't he? Hehee, I love that word!! Fantastic updates, hon, and can't wait for more!

Hey,Hey,Hey!!!!!!!!! what's with the stopping? write it's really really good!!!!!!! so like get with the writing coz yano it's .... good no GREAT !

very good read, thank you. don't have a clue where you are going, but it would be fun for a not chipped spike to help in the resolution (especially with riley.)

love the chapter and Buffy and Spike even as a play couple. Go Spike for taking a stand when it comes to Buffy to Riley. And Joyce asking questions was too funny. And go perseptive Giles.

loved this :D

Another great chapter!!! Thank you. Can't wait for next one.

yeah, i'm kinda sharing spike's general reaction to riley...can't stand the git...the council's continuing tests sound like a terrible pain...i'd hate to be travers when she gets her hands on him! :)

It better be soon. Yup. Or I'll have to string you up by your toes and let Dru lick you to death. LoL

Fun! Looking forward to more.

Eh, we're still getting enough of the little things to make it worthwhile. These two just keep easily slipping into open closeness, and it's so cute.

Tests every year, eh? Wankers.

Wow, thanks for the quick update. Love this fic. Riley's not going to leave this be, is he? Well they'll handle him just like they will the Council. The only thing that's got me worried is, if the Council won't allow Buffy to use Spike, then he's going to be a target. They want their slayers to be resourceful, well that's what she's doing. Using Spike to kept the Hellmouth a little safer, as an ally, how much more resourceful can she get? Using a vampire to fight demons? Again thanks for the update, looking forward to more. Great chapter.

I love it! Great chapter. Love spike growling about Riley and being all protective.

very good read, thank you. with buffy, that last line could have also meant spike! fun read, thanks again

Loved the chapter :D

Hate that I'm all caught up. I'm really enjoying your fic. Hope life doesn't get in the way too often so you can update again soon,'cause I'm really good at begging for them when I like a fic. Wes may know something or he may be able to find out. I bet it freaked her out when Spike came walking up. He really is pretty fearless, isn't he? Love this fic. Thank you for posting.

Can't wait for phase 2 of the Council's test. Riley is annoyingly persistent. Buffy needs to look into the California stalker laws.

cant she indeed? that would be so much simpler...lol...and spike needs a whuppin' himself, taking a risk like that...my own heart was pounding thinking the sun was gonna come out...excellent chapter, looking forward to more :)

I just caught up with this and I love it.

Great story.

Yes, just kill him.

I enjoyed Buffy's thoughts on having a relationship with Spike. Spike coming out to get her and her worry was cute. I loved her final thought about Riley. Thanks so much for the update, I really enjoyed it.

hehehe god i hate riley. He's so annoying and clueless. I liked Spike coming out into the daytime to get her. Can't wait for the next update!

OOh... now there's a thought...

Don't give him invitations if you want him to go away, Buff. LOL

Love her like this. Giving and sweet and caring of his feelings. Can't wait to see what Travers has got up his evil sleeve. Another wonderful chapter. Thanks.

i hate travers. Hate him. I hope spike gets the chip out and eats him.

great chapter

Glad you got back to this story, but now you've left us all in another lurch. Also congrats on the graduation and the job!! Hope it doesn't interfere too much with your Spuffy fix.

Congratulations on finishing school I know how much that can take out of you. As for the update, I really enjoyed it. I love the intimacy that Buffy is experiencing with Spike and I am looking forward to their little talk.

good read, thanks. glad you are back and congratulations!

Fabulous to see this updated! Travers and his three tests - what a miserable old git!

oh i hate the council and their tests...so glad buffy is trying to make spike feel accepted...i feel so bad for him all trying to make himself as unobtrusive as possible and such...so glad she was sweet to him...cant wait for more :)

Die Travers, die...

Interesting Story, i like it. Bit of Action, lots of Romance, all in all very good. Please keep writing.

So happy to see you back. Glad life's going well.

Great chapter, glad to see more of this story. Thanks

Welcome back, and nice update. I wonder what the next test will be...

Getting even more interesting. Congratulations on graduating. Good luck with your future.

Well that takes care of them for the night. That'll give Giles something to think about. Poor Spike, the Big Bad's terrified of the little slayer. He's so Love's Bitch. Thanks for the great chapter.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sweet.

excellent chapter!! so glad you updated *hugs*...poor spike, so insecure about her feelings, and buffy being her typical unintentionally insensitive self *sigh* awesome chapter, though, can't wait to see what else you have planned :)

Oooh, I love it!! More, please!!

I just started reading this fic today and it is great! I sat here and read everything you have so far in one sitting. More soon please.

Hope is good. Yum.
I wonder what Riley's up to.

What a terrific update. I love that Buffy did not deny nor make up excuses for holding Spike's hand.

excellent chapter. very surprised wrapping up the academic year, left any time for an update. just very glad it did. thanks for the fine read.

Yeah, we waited for this chapter awhile, but it was worth it! Excellent update =)

I love how buffy isn't being Bitchy!Buffy. Good stuff. And eek! Trying to go to school and have a spuffy obsession? You're one brave chick. I know I couldn't do it. Good luck on the graduating and great chap!

great chapter

excellent chapter :P

great chapter. love it!

Ohhhh, get with the sucking face... lmao

yay! You're back. Don't feel bad about finals, they always mess with real life. I know they're messing with mine. I"m just glad to see this story continue. I was afraid the fact that I'd starting reading it had jinzed it, since there weren't any updates afterwards. :)

Awwww, they're so cute.

Great chapter...so happy to see an update.
Good luck with your thesis & school.

Great POV's. Love it that she admitted to her falling for another vamp and Spike admit that he'd gone soft. Terrific chapter, thanks.

great chapter

Beautiful work!

I love that Buffy admitted to herself that she has fallen for Spike, and even, silently, thanked Willow for her spell. I hope Giles is going to be able to give Buffy the help she will undoubtedly need. Great chapter, I am loving the updates. Enjoy spring break :)

I expect nasty Riley is doing some evil plotting.

Heee!!! Great chapter!! I loved it all!! Man, from Willow's power to Buffy's feelings: you rock!! Can't wait for another!!

We're being nice to Willow? Okay... well... as long as we're not nice to Xander :P

Wow! I am in complete shock that Buffy would thank Willow for her spell and that she would admit (even to herself) that she had fallen for another vampire! I can't wait to see what she does next!

awwww....so sweet....i love how they both are so accepting of their feelings for each other...love this story :)

I loved the ending!! So cute :)

great update! awww, i just love non-denial buffy...makes my heart sings!

Cool chapter.

thanks for the short read. i mean thanks the fine, short read. maybe just, thanks.

Another test? 3? What a pompous ass. They had to beat Giles up as well. He's so powerful, then he didn't need to lay a hand on him. That was fun and she kissed him! Yes! I love it. Thanks.

“Is it because I’m an American?” she asked. “Spike, how do you say ‘Leave me the fuck alone’ in British?”


LMFAO!!!!!!!

Very sweet ending to the chapter. I really hope they kill Travers. And I'm glad the spuffy loving has commenced Wheee!

::happy sigh::

Great update! Can't wait to read more =)

Completely delicious yumminess. Just give Riley his comeuppance and I'll be a happy camper.

Buffy kissed Spike and without a spell, I am giddy. I loved that she offered Travers to Spike and promised that she wouldn't tell, that was so cute. Of course I would not be unhappy if Travers did, accidentally of course, have a horrible, painful death. :) This story is so good, update soon, please.

great update...stupid travers..hate him :)

SQUEE!!! I love it!!! And that kiss in the end.... More, please!!!

Damn council and their tests! I am a bit worried for Buffy about the next tests, Travers was way to calm and collected.

Loved the Spuffy action!

Stupid bloody Travers! That old man needs to be smacked. I never could stand him. The council always has to screw everything up. They just can't leave her alone with their stupid tests. I am a bit worried about what the consequences would be for not passing though. Oh well, yay, we got some Spuffy kissage! That's always of the good. This story has my interest. Can't wait for more=)

do you think spike is a bit confused? great update. fun read thanks.

Good chapter.I hate the Council,
and was so glad that they were killed off.In my head,Giles is head of the new Council,which has several divisions.Do you watch Supernatural?Update soon.

You know, that invulnerability spell wouldn't prevent someone from burying Travers alive. Or encasing him in concrete with a face mask so that it takes him days to slowly starve to death. Just an idle thought....

Grrr Travers and the Council and their stupid tests. Nice kiss though.

Great update, although i was kinda confused a couple of times..lol..
'he realized that his hands were still on his shoulders'

i usually don't say anything (cause it's a miracle that i can review a story without needing a beta) but i thought you might want to fix it.

grrr... maybe Willow can find out what Travers did to himself so they can blow him up......

That a girl Willow, she did a great job covering. Maybe now he'll leave them alone. What's with Travers? A spell? Vest? Try shooting him in the leg!. This another test for the slayer? Glad I've got 5 more chapter to catch up on. Thanks for the great chapter.

eek. Great chapter. I love Buffy's interaction with Spike in this chapter.

I. Hate. Travers. But then don't we all. This is a really great chapter, I love Spike and Buffy working together, and poor Willow having to keep up the spell. Thanks for the chapter. :)

Still liking it. Great update!

Two updates! And here I thought I checked for updates too often...
Great chapters, both of them. Can't wait to see what the trap is.

Well, isn't Riley the creepy bastard. Speaking generally, it's actually pretty amazing how much of a bad guy he can be made into while keeping strictly within canon.

I just don't know what they are going to be able to do now. I just hope they figure this all out before something else major happens. Hope Willow can get rid of Riley.

Ooooh, loved both chapters!!! That ending is really interesting and I can't wait to find out more!!

great chapter

I really hate that guy! Now what has he done? More please!

He's got a warding spell up? Or is this a Travers-bot?

Eeeeek!! Is that creep Travers a demon or a warlock? BTW, Willow outdid herself with that spell. More story please.

oh no! what the hell?... *whimpers* evil Travers!

Uh oh, an invincible Travers...have I ended up in a hellish paralell universe that no one has told me about? This can't be good! I am dying to see what happens next!

oh no...what's up with travers?? what a cliffie!!! i need the next chapter now!!!

travers and riley should be locked up with darla and dru for a century or two. good read. thanks for the update.

uhoh, someone distract Riley fast!!!! Need that ditz Harmony to show up about now.

Uh oh, Travers is being a tricky Dicky. LOL

Buffy beat him down pweeeeeease

Excellent idea for Willow to do that spell, don't blame Spike for wigging. Hope Forrest got through to Finn. Now to rescue Giles!

i really hope riley listens. Great spell at the bronze and great plan!

Yay, I finally get to get caught up on updates after my bloody computer crashed, stupid machine. Great chapter if only Riley would listen to Forest. And Spike realizing how powerful Willow really was. I'm loving this fic.

hope riley lets it go...cool trick with that little glamour...hope they can rescue giles :)

Yeah, Riley, Let It Go!

I do like how Spike realized how much power it took for Willow to do the spell and I hope that once Giles is back in the fold that he tells him!

Off to read the next chapter! I just love it when there are multiple updates!

let it go, or just go away riley. good update, very good fic. thanks

Yeah Riley...let it go... *snickers* great update! ohhhh here comes the rescue!

Is Riley going to try and talk to Buffy, et al., before leaving the Bronze? That would really be something if Willow could pull off that trick.

Hope you feel better so we get more story.

Hehehe  Let it go man, Let.  It.  Go.  Can't wait till you update again.

Yeah Riley, let it go, go home with the rest of the aryan youth and leave Buffy alone

Yes, Riley. Just go! :P

I feel your pain about the allergies: I've had one continuous sinus headache for weeks.

Good chapter - feel a tiny bit sorry for Riley, with his crush...Forrest is sooo right that he's out of his league.

I hope there's some good action coming up with the Giles rescue?

LOL, neat chapter. Time to rescue the Watcher.

I'm just catching up on this one and having a great time.

Great chapter. So sweet that she wanted to comfort him. Riley's not fooled, is he? Well maybe after they rescue Giles they can work on him. Thanks for this fun fic.

LMAO @ Buffy's internal monologues...the slayer time and her comments on the lameness of that were hilarious! lol.

Awwww. poor spike feeling like a joke...and eeek riley.

grrr...hate riley, he's evil...love the scene where they tricked him...poor spike...love how buffy was sweet to him...great update!! :)

I really hate Riley and I hope that you really give it to him in the next chapter! Off to read it ......

I really hate Riley and I hope that you really give it to him in the next chapter! Off to read it ......

great chapter

I love this!! Hehe, reading about that little stint against Riley was fantab! Hell, even Xander joined in after a while.

I said it once, and I'll say it again: Riley is the humanized version of Angel. Yep, that's exactly who he is. Argh, those two just live off of thinking they should make all of Buffy's decisions and rule who's in her life. Ugh!! Can't wait to find out what Buffy's gonna do to him!!

rofl, great update! love the "big teddy bear, crying on my shoulder thing!"

This chapter made me want to just bash Riley on the head til he understand;)))

Riley is a pathetic, self-obsessed moron, and Willow’s remarks and the actions of them all while Riley was in the basement were so funny and so perfect. And I loved Buffy’s explanation to Spike on why they were laughing. This was a really great chapter, and as always you left us with at least a bit of a cliff-hanger. Please update soon.

Die RILEY DIE!

fun update. this is a very entertaining read. bonus for riley bashing. thanks for the read.

now this is just what Riley gets... I so want him to get his face rubbed in it. HOpe they can get Giles out and get rid of the commandos as well. great update.

OMG Riley and I guess you are a better man. I bet you have a Swatika tatooed on your ass. :P

Alright, now all we need is for Riley to have an unfortunate accident that kills him nice an painfully and all will be good! :)

I love that last part with Buffy and Spike. Poor Spike had his feelings hurt and Buffy was all nice and trying to make it better. It was ver sweet. Awesome chapter. I loved it.

Good chapter.I hate Riley,but I love Marc Blucas.(Especially in "First Daughter" where he had another secret identity.)Update soon.

Oh god, that was funny. Loved it.

Great chp. Look forward to more.

Just loved it. If that doesn't stop them nothing will. Great chapter, thanks.

hahaha I love it! them getting engaged again. Even though it's still not "real" I wonder if this one will take. Maybe they just won't officially break the engagement. Sweet proposal...I get the sense a part of spike means it.

Methinks Buffy likes this proposal as much as the last one!

OMG! That was fantastic! I can just see Riley and the commandos watching that and wondering why the hell their equipment is picking up vampire signatures while Spike is proposing to Buffy! And of course Riley humilation due to the fact that the girl he was trying to hook up with and had kissed earlier was getting engaged to someone else and making out with Spike in front of him! I loved it! Please tell me that Xander was watching from the window and is still standing there in shock! Please!!!!!!!!

SQUEE!!!!!!! I love it!! Another marriage proposal? Hmm, seems Buffy's got a secret about her feelings....WOOHOO!! Love Spike's confusion and Buffy's enthusiam. Can't wait for more!!!

great plan, but the smile and kiss seem genuine. thanks for the fun update.

great chapter

What is Buffy up to?

That chapter was great and the proposal was perfect Spike. And the last line sums it up for me, what’s up with Buffy. I can't wait for more. :)

Aww, how sweet! More please ;D

lol, poor spike, lost in the 'logic of buffy' which is at the best of times...kinda wacky *g*

Cant believe spike went along with it. LOL. Cant wait to see what happens next.

Good story so far.I like it,
especially poor emotional Buffy.
Update soon.

Is this a sneaky way to get Xander out of there? I'd be afraid it would just piss off Riley even more. More story please.

I'm with Spike! What the hell just happened? Write more so that I may be informed!

that...was hysterical!!! i love his wording on that proposal...perfectly done and classic spike!!! and i can't wait to see what happens next!!!

*blinks wides eyes then falls over*

Wow that was fantastic. Love how she's allowing him in. Oh crap! Riley and the Commandos. Just what they are they doing there. Did Riley recognize Spike? This is bad, really bad. Heart warming chapter.

Great story. waiting impatiently for more. :getwriting:

Oooh, I can't wait for more, sweetie, but I won't push you. This was freaking awesome!!!! I'm so glad that Buffy's changing her outlook on Spike, especially with that ender! Hehe, Riley ass-kickage....my fave thing in the world.

buffy not giving orders? what? interesting and shocking. thi is beoming even more entertaining. thanks

Hmmm...good chap. Things just keep getting more and more interesting.

what in the world??? Buffy letting Spike take the lead on this one. it really must have been some night for her thus far. loving this.

great chapter

I’m liking this so much. I love your Spke, especially the dialogue. Exactly right. Can’t wait for next update.

Interesting for her to ask Spike how to handle the situation. He can't even hit the wankers and she has that faulty programming about humans being good.

wonderful update!
*considering a minute ago she’d been using him as a vamp kleenex.* giggles

wow...who is this girl and what has she done with buffy?? lol :) cuddling with spike...asking his opinion...i like this new behavior from her...hope nothing bad happens..can't wait for next chappie :)

Great chapter and another suspenseful ending. You do that very well, a little calm to make the next cliffhanger seem even bigger, I am loving this ride. I am also loving that Buffy seems to be starting to really see Spike. Looking forward to the next chapter.

oooo spuffyness ^.^

short but nice. Great chappy. LOL

How sweet of Spike, but then we always knew he could be. Love him with Joyce. Nice to see Buffy's feelings begin to change. He is changing every day and I'm glad she's finally seeing it. Thanks for doing that.

awwwwww very sweet. I love Joyce's confusion heh.

Oh wow, I love it!! Freaking hilarious finding Joyce having bridge night, and then the drunk woman hitting on Spike....great!! Loved his answer and Joyce's reaction. Can't wait for more!!

Buffy actually thanked Spike! I think the chapter ended because the world just imploded! lol! I loved bridge night and Spike's lil white lie about being Buffy's fiance. Its really funny to picture the Master Vampire afraid of a horny middle aged woman!

great chapter

Loved this chapter.  I thought your Spike voice was pretty spot on.  Looking forward to more.  :)

What a way to find Joyce... And how about the way Spike needed a cover to get out of the house. Now that was just too funny. Loving the story completely.

Pretty funny scene with Joyce and the bridge club. Will Buffy manage to remain civil to Spike?

This was a really great chapter. I loved that they walked in on Joyce's night with the girls, and the best part was Buffy saying thanks to Spike. Thanks for the great update.

did i mention evil in the review of the last chapter? what is evil to the nth degree? setting us up, and then bridge night. fabulous, well done. thanks for the fun read.

so she's starting to wise up a bit...that's good...the whole bridge night thing was freakin' hilarious!!! i love this story! can't wait for more!!

Bridge Night!! LOL, classic. Great chapter.

heehee, so cute

Yeah, Spike's whipped but he still tries to be the Big Bad. She almost slipped and showed her Buffy side and not her slayer side. She's probably entertaining someone? Hopefully. Gonna read more. Great chapter,thanks.

Not Buffy driving. That's too scary.

I can't wait for to see what they saw :) Great chapter

Not. Nice. The pixies in my head don't like it! I need more. What happened? Gah, cliffhangers! UPDATE!!

evil, with a capital E. nice cliffhanger. good read, but still evil. thanks

what is it?? what is it?? what a cliffie!! can't wait for your update, and to find out what's happened to joyce...this story has me hooked now!!

Oooh, just read this and I love it!!! More soon, please!! Would love to know what Buffy and Spike saw in her living room.

Great update! Did they walk into a trap? Or is her mother missing too? Please update soon!

I’m really enjoying this a lot. Great read. Waiting for more.

The Council's waiting right there, aren't they? With weapons pointed at Giles and Joyce.

Liked this chapter too. I think you're really good at writing if this is your first. I look forward to reading more =)

Great chapters. I can't imagine what they are looking at. Please update soon.

What?! Please update soon I need to know... can't take the suspense. Great chapter.

OK new writer. That is an evil cliffie! WTF is going on in Buffy's house? More story please.

What WHAT??

Oh, cliffy. Love to see what you do with this.

What's Travers there for? Buffy? I'm thinking of so many things that he could ask for. Can't wait to find out it is. Oh yeah, he's in her blood, whether she wants to admit it or not. Don't want Spike to become a toad either. This is going to be really interesting. Great read, thanks.

heh! Great chapter. Buffy has no idea what she's getting herself into does she? heh. I can't wait to hear what Spike wants as payment.

LOL. Whatever you want? Buffy didn't really say that did she?

Now that can be dangerous, saying things like that :)

i would think, especially with spike, buffy would get the 'price" up front. fun ready. thanks

i think she's going to regret that promise...or maybe not ;) lol... i hope they can save giles in time, wonder what the council has in mind...very interesting...

Great chapter, love that Buffy promised Spike anything without limits, this will be fun.

oh, now why did she just tell Spike that. She has not idea what he wants but I so can't wait to find out once they get Gile's back.

I wonder what Spike has in mind...hmmmm....why do I get the feeling that Buffy has no idea what she just agreed too? Awaiting your next update with bated breath!

Uh oh, whatever he wants is his. Now if that isn't the worst ... or best ... thing she could have possibly said. Now I'm all curious to find out exactly what he's going to want.

I wonder what Spike wants in return *wiggles brows*

Nice start. Will be watching to see where you go with it.

I'll put with Riley since he's not going to around long. Thanks for the warning. So Buffy's having Spike thoughts since Willow's spell. They're very funny. She must be having alot of them if she's afraid for her sanity. Seeing Spike, he's now got a face, a very handsome one, to go with the name. Can't wait to see what's up with Giles. Great start, thanks for the read.

ha! This story rocks! I love it. I love spike already showing that possessiveness and jealousy over riley. It's so cute in a spike-way. I mean normally possessive growliness in a guy isn't "cute" lol.

Great writing, great story! the reviews are gonna come a tiny bit spaced out, since the only way to get myself to clean house is to clean a little, reward with fanfic chapter, clean a little, lather, rinse, repeat until insane. (oh LOVE her questioning her sanity over and over...very funny buffy thoughts. heh.)

Great start. Warning, writing Spuffy can be habit forming.

the start is a good read. in spite of the threat of a small amount of b/r, am looking forward to more. thanks for the read.

I can't wait to see what trouble has come up! Good start!

Hmm, interested to see where this goes

Nice idea! I look forward to more.

I really liked this. Interesting start. Plz more soon =)

Very nice beginning. I can't wait to see what happens next in the story. Update soon! :)

Good story so far. I wonder what Spike has to speak to Buffy about.
Please update soon.

Really good start. I'm looking forward to seeing what Spike's doing out and what Buffy's gonna tell Riley. Thanks for writing.

quite fascinating...very interested in this story already...what does he have to tell her?? and please kill riley! he annoys me...he doesn't have to be evil (though he could be ;)lol) he could just die in some stupid accidental way...lol...no, on second thought, just ignore my nosy suggestions and write your own story, how's that for a thought? ;) lol

Hehehe Your voices and characterizations are really good!  I'm looking forward to reading more!

Well, I hope there's not too much Biley. because Biley is BLECH!!

Very interresting start, I am really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Awesome start Glory! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Riley and why Spike came to find her.
