Nice to have this additional adventure - I love the pairing of Spike and Wes as partners.  Great revisit to the Initiative.

i like a story with ethan...  especially when ethan is up to mischief.  Needed more mischief... but it promised mischief... 

Sigh...

have to love the way ethan's mind works. fun read, thank you.
Lol! Ethan is just such a fun bad guy.

Again, thank you! Glad you enjoyed you're visit to the SWBD 'verse.

What fun! So nice to see something new from you! Hope you'll share more soon!
Thank you, honey! I'm glad you liked it. These days I mostly play in another fandom, but every so often a special someone will have a birthday or something and I'll dip my toe back in the BtVS/AtS water.

Absolutely delightful! I can't be at all sorry that Spike and Wes took out so many of the Initiative. Ethan was delicious, and I like the thought to him being in Giles' hair for a while. I think Spike got off easy. *grins* Thanks ever so for a smashig ride. *hugs* xxx
I can't help thinking that Ethan will make Giles all but wish that he'd left Ethan in there by the time all is said and done, but there's just something about those two together and I really couldn't see Giles abandoning him once he realised what the Initiative was capable of.

Spike did get off easy, but I didn't want to stretch things out too much further.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it all. Thank you for all you kind words, honey!

Really enjoyed this action-packed thriller.  Nice to see Ethan again.
Thank you, honey! Getting Ethan back into circulation was one of the most tempting things about writing this fic. I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked the idea.

Great fun. Very much in character (if you've been following along her "Spike's Will Be Done" series), good, consistent action, and nice touches of humor. I hope we'll see more like this.
Thank you! Takes bow.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I haven't been playing much in this playground lately, but when my beta asked for Spike and Wes for her birthday, I couldn't say no. I dare say there's a good chance that if she (or possibly one or two others) were to ask for them again next year...

LOL, will Ethan ever learn? Brilliant job with his voice.

Uh-oh, Spike forgot about the claim benefits..........looks like Wes didn't, though. :)

Hope those escapees have a chance.

So nice to have fic from you again. I was thinking about you recently.
Doing Ethan was one of the big challenges with this fic since I'd never done him before, so I'm glad you liked him.

Well, I figured Spike would never have been as far away from Buffy until then and he'd probably think he could get away with it with her at the opposite end of the country.

I hope the escapees have some good luck, too.

It's been a while, and I should really have posted this a few months ago but I put it off at the time I finished writing it because I was lazy and it was only when someone was reviewing the earlier fics that I remembered that I hadn't posted it here, yet.

Thanks, honey, good to know even though I'm mostly gone I'm not forgotten.
