Really enjoyed this series of stories, at once funny and poignant.

Good connection on the coat and that Spike doesn't want it back. 

Aww!  Poor Spike! :(

You just get better and better.  These were really good - and a pleasure to meet Spike & Buffy true to the original characters.

So sad - and so very them.

Great follow up on Spike saying he needed to pinch a satelite dish.  :)

Ah, I think I missed this addition to this wonderful ongoing series. Loved it!

very pleased to see these wonderful scenes revisited. very good read, as always. thank you.

Okay now we have to know what else Spike was doing during the War - or at least some good lies he can tell Buffy.

I've just read the lost and what a fun read they were!  I think my favourite part was Spike's lonely heart letter -- 'Dear Shona, if you know what's good for you, you'll help me.'  snort.

Every single word little darlin'-- you got a smooth nice way about your story telling that just draws one along--sorta like a real sweet float down the Guadalupe, with some foamy, bumpy rapids,but not real scary--so you can dream some and laugh outloud too.   You love the beloveds and you've got the voices right--the depth of Spike's wisdom about Buffy and the sudden epihanys of Buffy about Spike.  Quite the pair; quite the story.  Tasty, I say and thank you very much.

Re-read my printed copy and added this short last meeting in this series.
The meetings were cute, tender, funny, snarky and bittersweet by turns. always enjoyable.
Hope for a future.

I know this is kinda weird, because you updated this story last in May, or something like that, but I think it's really cool, so I wanted to tell you thank you for writing it. Have you given any thought to continuing it?

excellent update, looking forward to your take on the little unseen moments in season 5 :)

another marvelous snapshot. thanks for the read

Thanks for another meeting. I love how Spike was upset over Drac not paying him his eleven quid, and the story of how Spike loaned him the money.

Dawn has appeared? Interesting talks about Spike's past.

rofl...great chapter! love spike rambling about the 'good old days'

wow...you captured the mood of that point in the series perfectly...love buffy's wondering about the demon families...very good update :)

Great chapter as usual. I love the way you ended it, using that cryptic sentence from Restless. Clever.

I really liked this interaction, her calling him on trying to break up her and her friends, but them ending with having a real, and nice, conversation. And the ending, using that particular line, is great.

Great chapter. More please.

Buffy had one justifiable criticism of Spike about the messing with the minds of the Scoobies to help Adam. Glad he gave that up for Lent (or whatever).

wonderful update! i love that you used the line there at the last, seemed to be a recurring thing on the show, and i liked that she thought about the demons having family's...great job!

LOL  Spike writing letters to the advice column and trying to get paid.

lol...love that...very unique and funny...the letters were all perfectly in character, but spike's was best of all...loved it :)

Get then published asap!

I loved this chapter, the letters summing up what's going on in the different characters lives. And Buffy's and Spike's letters, so good. I loved the last two paragraphs, so much truth in them, particularly in one of the people in question could go with her heart instead of her fears. Thanks for the great update. :)

Teeheehee! This is so AU! Just the idea of Buffy and/or Spike writing to a small town advice columnist makes me dizzy. More silly story please.

First, I'd like to apologize for not getting back to you when you asked for the name of a famous column writer. I meant to, but then I got call to work and forgot. But I can see you did just fine. This was fabulous. It cracked me up. Really clever. I love those little stories of yours more and more.

rofl...great chapter...loved all the letters *grin*

FUNNY! :)

LMAO, I loved this chappie, great humor

that was wonderful. completely unexpected follow up to the previous chapter. thanks for the enjoyable read.

great chapter as usual. More please. This story is just so great and different. I like it very much.

That Jonathan is a smart bugger - how did he know about Short and Wobbly?

oh wow...that's gonna be awkward after jonathan's spell wears off...lol...very very hot chapter :)

I can not believe I missed this update. This was so hot, so good, and how could she not want to stay there forever. Poor girl with her messed up programmed brain. I love how seamlessly these little interludes fit in with the series. Thanks for the great chapter. :)

damn hot girl!!! wonderful update...can't wait to see what the fallout for this is gonna be!

Teeheehee! She has to fake it with Riley? I wouldn't have guessed she would even know how to fake it. Anyway, believing that Jonathan is omnipotent is always funny. More silly story please.

great update. will just spend time "wondering..."
until the next one. thanks

Hee! Great addition to the series - I'd almost forgotten that they'd had sex while under the spell.

GREAT, GREAT as usual. More please, soon!!!!

Fabulously hot! And hearing the Riley can't make her come... Now that's always satisfying lol. I loved those two chapters. It reminded me of how much I enjoyed Superstar. Such a fun episode lol. Great job at including it in your story.

Whooaaaaa....can't deny that that happened when the spell's over. Useless to resist, now, babe.

WOnderrful!  This deserves to be a stand alone.

oh wow...that's hilarious...and so much in tune with the episode in question!! can't wait to see what's next, love :)

ROFL!!!!!! that chapter was awesome!!!! love it!!! incredibly hilarious and yet sweet and sexy at the same time!! thanx :)

This is great I love how she just came out and asked him. Wonderful chapter, breathlessly waiting for the continuation. :)

very good. let me consider spike's response. (...NO?...) hilarious read thanks.

Nothing like being straightforward. Good chapter.

*falls out of chair and dies laughing* well that's one way to do it....great job girl!!!!

lol...such a perfect little moment...very much enjoyed it :)

These are really great, and this last one had me laughing so hard. So fun because the whole situation is so real. :)

LMAO! She had two stakes to defend herself? He should tell everybody.

Knew it was a mouse! Oh, that's hysterical...I give him 3 seconds before he starts laughing uncontrollably.

absolutele hysterical. keep up the fantastic work. thanks

GOod chapter but ew ew ew no toes

He hates and he wants her - perfect!

at last, one of them talking some sense!!! great update, love the whole deal with the toes...on to more :)

Ah, nice update to this wonderful series. I'm so glad you are sticking with it.

Yay for an update on one of my favorite stories. And what an update. It just crackles with tension.

Great chapter. With a lot of tension. Loved it. Please update soon.

these vignettes are a fantastic way to the tale. thanks for the excellent read.

Buffy did Spike's toes?? That must be hell on her virtuous self-image.

I know I've told you before how much I enjoyed this story. That was one hot chapter. I look forward to your updates.

wow, great update....i just love these little moments...even the angsty ones!

Poor Buffy - always messing up things w Spike.

Oh, this made me feel so sorry for Spike! But I'm really enjoying your work, it's incredibly well written and feels realistic. Thank you for writing it!

oh poor spike...she can be so hateful sometimes...spike and that shotgun, those things are never a good idea...*sigh*...great chapters, on to more :)

ah, you know I love this series, but two of these broke my heart.

Gee, who's really the evil one here?

i wanna see those scars

she cares, whether she wants to or not...awww...love these encounters as well..both of them trying to pretend that "something blue" meant nothing to them...but they just can't pull it off...lovely...on to more :)

Very nice! I just love this little group of meetings you have here. They coincide perfectly with what was happening on the show, and that makes you really wonder, you know? Great update, and I hope we get to see more soon!

hmmm....is there a claim in their future?? :) great update :)

Oh man! That was friekin' awsome!! That has to be one of the most original things I have read in a while! Thank you for sharing it with us, and I can't wait for more.

Nikkole

Excellent chapter. Stories rarely address what is going on in Buffy's heart during this spell. I like the tugging of two different drives that you describe here. Really looking forward to the next chapter.

Poor Spike.

Woggle?  Interesting theory about the catalyst for change.  Thinking about that...

lovely insightful words from Spike about Willow, but just loved the "promises promises" at the end.

oh she really should have listened to that warning!! very perceptive of spike...good chapters :)

Great update! And while Buffy may scoff at Spike's words of wisdom to his face, we all know she takes what he has to say to heart and pulls on it later for reference (i.e. "You always hurt the ones you love," etc.) Now it will be really interesting to see your take on what happened around the "My Will Be Done" spell of Willow's.

Once again. Spike is observant but Buffy thinks she is better than him.

Love these little vignetes. Thanks!

oh that's just mean for no reason!! poor spikey..lol...another excellent set of encounters here...very much enjoyed it :)

I am enjoying these little interludes... Especially now that they are getting closer, and he's showing more of his tender side.

Interesting take on their meetings. Still gotta say, poor Spike.

i'm a skank for not reviewing - I love all of these, especially Spike stealing Wesley's book.  :)

lol...that last one cracked me up...love these meetings....very good writing, love :)

wow, i love those meetings as well...especially the last one...very very clever explanation for how spike might have ended up with harmony....very good chapters :)

I like. It is fun and intresting and just you know 'there'

oh, these are soooo delightful!!!!!!  I'm torn between wanting you to work on Business as Usual, We Will Remember Them, or begging you to write more of these vignettes.

Question:  At the end of chapter 16 it states "tbc" but it is also listed as completed.  So does that mean there will be more?  (hope, hope)

How clever!  I love how you are filling in the scenes between what Joss and his team wrote.  I look forward to reading the next chapters.

1-3 -- i love the characterizations in your fics, so strong, so moving...the imagery of spike on his knees in the church, trying to fix that doll...so very tragic and beautiful....great chapters :)

very sweet..i love the concept of this fic...very intriguing and cant wait til i can read more :)

Top idea! Nice quirky little tales. More please.

I just love these little untold stories. Very nifty idea btw. Can't wait to see more of them.

Ha! you know from my reviews on BSC how much I love this series. I'm so glad you're putting it up here and I hope that means you plan to continue it!

I love the concept of this story. Their meetings get better and better. I really enjoyed meeting #2, the heart made with sugar on the table. Can't wait for more meetings
