Update? please?
I'm not dead!!
But my old computer is. Sorry about the delays. In the time since the last chapter was posted, I wrote part of a chapter, had my pc die, had to wait until I could buy another, bought one, and had my internet die abruptly after that.
Anyway, I do have more of my next chapter written, and within the next few weeks a friend should be able to fish what I had written previously from my old PC. If he can't, I'll just rewrite.
But I have NOT given up on this story and I AM finally back online.
Sorry for the troubles.

Bowling? So that's what it's called. Yeah, sure. LOL!

BOWLING???
You have to be kidding me. This was a beautiful, sexy, lovely chapter. Bowling?

All I can say is WOW! An amazing chapter, every single word was perfect! Granted, bowling would have been funny, this chapter was just perfect! Sorry it was hell to writer, but you know, you sure know how to write 'em! Hope Spike can grab some 'real' food in the next chapter. These characters are beautiful, and so is your story!
*Basks in comments.* No, really, I'm a horribly person and that's the only reason I write, to hear what people think. Really, truly, thanks for the kind words. It makes the hard work worth it. (Though I take well to unkind words, too.)
And, oh, we'll deal with the food issue. Just you wait...

I think I like this better than bowling, if you can imagine such a thing. Seriously, this is the hottest and most romantic Spuffy sex I've read in quite a while. And bonus: I wasn't expecting it at all. Their amazing psychic powers are so sweet! That, and the dreams make me wonder how stable the spell is, and how much longer until the other shoe drops.
Great stuff!
Great stuff!
Psychic powers? Do I have them knowing each other and themselves that well already?! I may need to re-evaluate....
Seriously, though, bowling is pretty fun. Though I often get something like a 39...
Anyway, thank you. I made it a pledge to try to make the sex scenes different and/or memorable and not cookie-cutterish, so the fact that someone found it hot and romantic is very reassuring. (Especially when I was aiming for slightly awkward and off-beat.) I'm also glad it came as a surprise to some, because I try not to telegraph. I want everyone to be surprised and caught off-guard at some point during this fic, be it a sex scene or a memory discovery.
I'm really having fun playing with the spell. I thought the dreams were fair game because both Buffy and Spike have had recurring dreams in season six. I saw no reason why their subconscious would stop playing the film even if the theater had changed.

Great story and chapter! I hope the bowling will come soon. FYI "Lackadaisical" is my favorite word.
It's one of mine, too! And it's so hard to use well in a story, so I hope it pleased. I'm hoping to use slake at some point and I'm debating using moue/mow, but I think that last one might be too distracting because I'm not sure a lot of people know it. I like playing with vocabularly, but hate the idea of breaking the mood by confusing the reader with a new word. So we'll see.
And, oh, the pins are lined up. The big question on my plate right now is how much Xander/Anya am I gonna throw in. I don't want to distract from the Spuffy, but it has to be addressed. So we'll see...

Well so far this story has me completely hooked. You've managed to have each of the characters be innocent and naive, while still keeping some of their more... persistent characteristics. Chapter 5 is fine as far as sex scenes go, but I do have to wonder if Spike really would've been able to quell the hunger that well. It might also be good to put a warning at the top of that chapter listing it as an intimate scene.
Other than that, I'm definitely hooked and eager for more! Can't wait for Chapter 6!

Sorry for the lack of a warning. I did think about it, but in the end I thought the entire story is rated NC17, and I really, really hate the idea of telegraphing what will happen in my stories. And in the end I'm glad I did because at least one person besides yourself didn't see it coming, so I felt like I would have ruined the flow of the story by letting people know when it was coming.
So in general, you can (but shouldn't) expect anything to happen in any given chapter. Sorry if that's an inconvenience.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm always excited when I get people hooked. :)
And as for Spike quelling the hunger... he's not critical at this point. I figure, roughly, he didn't eat the night Teeth came after him, so one night hidiing from teeth, the actual night of the Tabula Rasa spell, and now the morning after. I figure he has to be able to go at least one day comfortably without eating, but just like a human he'd be peckish. This is Day 3, so we're getting very uncomfortable. All things considered, though, I know I can skip meals for writing (I often get engrossed and write in 5-hour stints), and I'd hope Buffy is a bit more engrossing for Spike. ;)

I don't know if I want Spike to bite Buffy yet or not, but I'm glad he isn't thinking of her as food at all. The way Spike and Buffy were, without knowing their history, in this chapter was great. I liked the insights they got into each other, and the dreams. Great chapter.

Thank ye kindly. The fun thing about hunger is it never goes away, it just gets worse, so I hope you'll keep reading.
