Oh, the sadism! Ooh, I hate Maggie Walsh!

Never have I rooted for Drusilla for anything except at this moment. Hope she won't be distracted enought to forget about him. Hate Walsh, poor Spike. Need to get caught up again. Was hoping this one was about torturing Spike again, oh well, keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be for long this time. Thanks DOS.
yeah, dru's finally doing something right...sort of...lol...yeah, it wont last long, at least for now :) thanx, love :)

“…to catch a wicked Slayer’s skin…to wrap my little William in…” You're doing a good job with Drusilla. I don't see too many people take on her character in their writing. I don't write, but I imagine that it's hard to write crazy, when you aren't crazy :P You seem to have a good handle on her nuances, like the wailing and the dancing around in circles. One of the things I like about Drusilla is her tendency to slip from lucid to completely sack of hammers. Gotta love a loony, psychic vampire. Just like in the canon, it makes sense that she'd be the first on to sense Spike becoming obsessed with Buffy. He was completely Drusilla's for 120, and then his thoughts start to turn to another woman. I hope we have lots of Dru to come :)
you're right, love, it is hard to write crazy when you're sane, at least for me... :) thanx for your kind words, glad you think i've got dru down cause i was scared to tackle her :P

Poor Spike! Someone needs to kill Maggie Walsh!
yep, she's evil all right :P

Gulp. Poor Spike. How I hate, hate, hate Maggie Walsh. Last chapter you said she had a "certain cold, clinical detachment in her eyes that was far more frightening than any bloodlust he had seen before in any vampire or demon" and I thought that captured beautifully what's so terrifying about her character. Eek!
thanx, love, glad you liked that line...i always thought maggie was one of the most evil villains ever... :P

The "two fingered salute" comes from when the English were at war with the French many years ago. The English longbowmen were excellent marksmen, and the French didn't have bows that were crafted as well, so they would capture the English and cut off one or two of their plucking fingers. So, the "salute" came about by showing "F-you! We have our fingers and your arrows can't compete!"
thanx so much, love, that's really interesting...i wondered what it meant...i mean, not to be crude, but the american version is very obvious... :P lol...i had no idea what the history was behind the british one :P thanx :)

That bitch!!! Poor Spike....

Hmm...will Dru get picked up? Cuz boy, would that get Angelus put out....imagine if all three of the Scourge were captured by the Initiative.....

But at the moment, Angelus has designs on one of the Scoobies....
no comments, love :) thanx so much for your thoughtful review :)

PS FYI you're right, the two-fingered gesture Spike was always doing on the show (Kinda like the peace sign, but the opposite way, I think he does it in hush?!?) anyway, it IS the british gesture for the finger :)
thanx, love, that helps me feel a bit better about referencing it :)

03/31/2007 01:50 am
Aww.. poor spikey!! Evil evil evil maggie walsh, it's hard to decide who the real monster is between those 2... actually wait, no it's not! Spike is clearly more humane than that crazy lady will ever be! I love your fics, and I do have a thing for tortured spike.... but please don't let him lose any of his beautiful limbs!!! lol :)
lol...don't worry, she didn't burn it all the way off...thanx so much for your kind words...

03/31/2007 01:31 am
I really hope Dru works to get him out of there soon. Clearly any time he spends there will be at a great detriment to his health. I'm also hoping that Buffy is able to keep her friends and family safe, and I wonder who Angelus is going after.
no answers yet, you'll have to wait, love...thanx so much for another great review :)

03/31/2007 12:29 am
Wait- his whole finger was... disentegrated or something, was it? Oh please, don't let Dru get chipped too. It'd be funny if she killed Maggie and/or Riley- okay, maybe that's just me :D

Oh, and what's the British version of the finger?
no, she took it off before it got that far, but it *was* badly burned...as for the british finger, it's that two-fingered gesture spike's always doing in the show... :) (at least I've always thought that's what it meant, i heard that somewhere, some british person might come along and prove me wrong :P)
thanx so much for your kind review, love :)

Oh POOR SPIKE!!!!!!

I am really scared for him now.... Not only because I know how evil Maggie Walsh is but also because I KNOW how good of a writer you are....

I could cover my eyes,, but I can't... I JUST CAN'T!!!!!
awww, thanx so much, love, so glad you enjoyed the chapter...it probably wont be as bad as you're expecting...probably...
um...never mind :P lol

Oh wow...that bitca Maggie really was cold enough for this. I never ever believed that they only put a chip in Spike before he escaped. The initiative was far too interested in "experimenting on the animals" looks like you are going to give us a guided tour.

Excellent (woo hoo two story updates in one day and hope for White Magic too!!!) is it Christmas?

i always thought she was evil, worse than a lot of the other villains...and i always also thought that spike kind of got off easy comparatively speaking as far as the initiative went...it seemed odd to me that all that happened to him was chip, too, you know? glad you're enjoying the updates, and actually i *am* gonna try to get white magic out right away, too :) thanx, love :)
