nice wrap up to (this part of the) tale. the() is an unsubtle way of saying, more please. very good read, thank you.
Thanks Vladt for all your encouragement with this fic, and I am so pleased that you enjoyed it. There may be more - you never knnow

This was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. I'd really love to read more in this universe you've created. Well, you never know what the muse will make you do *winks*. Wouldn't it be awesome to learn about Buffy and Spike's life in Iceland? Eh eh. Thanks again, it's been a great ride. ;)
Oh Tanja. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your reviews for this fic. They have really been appreciated. I am so glad you liked it, and there might be something else coming up really soon. Be good, babes.

Chapter 16         
Oh please tell me there will be a sequeal, I want to know what they mean and how life and Iceland will go. Is Giles really going to do the ritual or will he kill Buffy or watcher her like Angel suggested.

Oh my too many questions
Hi babes - I deliberately wrote the ending where the reader could make up their own mind. We are all about the Spuffy, so I dont think it would make much difference - I'm sure Spike would still be with her - don't you?

Chapter 16         
OH! That was just a brilliant ending! Love Giles's comment to Travers. Wouldn't have minding that weasley little shit dying a slow and torturous death, but this ending worked well also. Great joh, babe!
Why thank you kind maiden. Now I need to get my finger out and finish Love for Sale. I have an epic in my head that is just demanding my attention and its on the same lines as TLATL. Maybe not quite as much torture, but there will be plenty of twists and turns. LOL. See you soon babes

Chapter 16         
Great ending!!!!!!

I was really hoping you hadn't forgotten about this one!

GREAT JOB!

Thank you~!
Hi Goldm00n. I am really sorry it took so long to write, but I recently changed jobs and I am too tired to write when I get home at night. I was working from home yesterday, and this chapter just jumped into my head and I had to write it. I wanted to end the story with plot and not smut - there had been plenty in there to keep the readers happy (at least I hope so). My next project is to finish Love for Sale, but I cant post that here as it's not vampire/slayer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read, review and for becoming a friend - I salute you

I liked it,I mean getting a hard on even after all those stuff...It smells as Spike
Dont it just - thank you for leaving so many reviews for this story, and you have truly made my day

Chapter 15         
Hey girl, I finally got over here to read and what a thrill to see them together and happy. Love the way Joyce is sticking up for her daughter and Spike. What a friend they have in Clem. He's been a great character for the series. Can't wait to see who it is, though it must be the council because how would Angel know anyway, he was in America when it happened. We know he and Spike aren't buddies and chit chat about things like that. Looks like two more chapters maybe now or more? Anyway, it's a great chapter and I love Spike and Buffy happy and together. Thanks babes, love ya. *squishes*

your story has been a real pleasure to read - really enjoyed it and I love your Joyce and Clem - very interested to see where your Giles ends up -

look forward to your next update -
Thanks for the review babes, it really is appreciated. I like Joyce in this fic too. As a mother myself, I know that I would go all protective if Buffy were mine. Just wait to see what she will do.........

11/05/2007 05:53 pm
Chapter 15         
awwww, joyce is pretty amazing...and i feel some sympathy for giles, too, in spite of it all...wonder who convinced him spike killed his dad? most likely the council i'm thinking...great chapter, love :)
Thank you kind maiden for taking the time to read and review. Joyce is pissed, and that means trouble. God help them when she finds out the truth.....

11/03/2007 02:32 am
Chapter 15         
Wonderful healing and one helluva Joyce made a great chapter
don't you just love my version of Joyce. All said and done, she was a mother and all mothers want to protect their young, and I'm sure Joyce would have done everyhting she could to protect her daughters. If this meant that she wanted her daughter to mate with a creature of the night in order to protect her, then so be it. Her acceptance of Spike as Buffy's mate, IMHO, would have happened in the show had she lived. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read and review - you have so made my day

11/02/2007 11:30 pm
Chapter 15         
fine read, thank you. love the strong, fierce joyce. giles lives up (down) to my expectations.
Hi vladt, I am so sorry it took so long to update, but TL kind of cuaght up with me for a while. I will do my best not to take so long next time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read and review. You are my star

11/02/2007 10:11 pm
Chapter 15         
Oh I love it I wonder who it was and what they will all do.
Hi babes. Hopefully the next chapter wont take me as long to write as this one. Sorry you had to wait so long, Sandra. The climax is on its way

Yay. :1)

looking forward to the last chapter - very much enjoyed reading this work -
Why thank you kind maiden for your words. I will be updating in the next few weeks - and it looks like there may be 2 chapters - hopefully I will do them both at the same time and not leave everyone hanging so long.

08/31/2007 03:57 am
Chapter 14         
That was so worth the wait Gilly girl. I didn't realise it was so close to being finished till you told me. Now to deal with Giles, I almost feel sorry for him...NOT! That won't be a very pleasant scene for him, I hope. Thanks for making the rest of them come to their senses. Love to see veiny-Willow working for the good guys. Love this sweetie and fantastic update, thanks.
Oh my angel, what would I do without you. Your continual encouragement to put my warped ramblings on the net, keep me sane. I know this story is close to the end, but good things come to those who wait. I hope to get the chapter up this weekend - well we can all hope can't we? G

08/28/2007 01:25 pm
Chapter 14         
GREAT CHAPTER!!!!!! Glad Xander finally got his ,,, well you know what out of you know where!

Thank yoU!
Hello my sweet. I have to apologise for the time it took to update, but RL just crashed and burned me for a while. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for staying with the story - and I promise the last chapter will be up soon.

08/28/2007 01:39 am
Chapter 14         
Giles just made me so madddd. I am glad that Joyce was able to get through to Anya, Willow and Tara. Xander would follow them anyway. I really am glad that they were able to pull together to find them. Awesome chapter.
HI babes, I promise we will sort the bugger out. We need to sort out Willow too before she stays on the dark side. I promise I will not be so long in updating next time.

08/27/2007 08:08 am
Chapter 14         
so glad willow and tara and anya came around...great update, well worth the wait, love :) i very much enjoyed this and can't wait to see how it all comes out in the end :)
Hello my lady. It took them long enough though, didn't it. Now we have to sort out Giles and fix Willow before she stays on the dark side. To be honest, I LOVE a dark Willow, but she needs to come back. Hopefully the next chapter will be the last, but you know what happens when the plot bunny gets hold of you.

08/27/2007 06:50 am
Chapter 14         
fun read, thank you. hard to believe xander came round. now to sort out giles.
Hi vladt. Not only do we need to sort out Giles, and we need to make sure Willow comes back to the light. I hope to make the next chapter the last, but the plot bunny may just take over and it might run to two chapters. Thank you as always for taking the time to read and review - you are my star

08/26/2007 09:30 pm
Chapter 14         
I am so glad the Scoobies came around. I hope Buffy kicks Giles ass!!!
Hi Avalon. There are 2 things left to fix - Giles' manic belief in the Council, and Willow's turn to the dark arts. I will fix all that in the next chapter - I hope LOL

08/26/2007 08:02 pm

Great chapter.

Go Joyce light a fire under all of them! Great Chapter. Hope Giles gets hit over the head with one of his books.
Hi babes. I really liked Joyce in the show, and I always try to show her in a good light. Xander just annoyed me at times, so I try to redeem him a bit. Hard to do, but what the hey. Sorry it took so long to update - I promise to be quicker with the next chapter

08/26/2007 03:58 pm
Chapter 14         
Plenty of action. I doubted Xander's sudden turnabout, but he came good. Better late than never!
Hi Lou. Yep I thought I would give the whelp a chance to show how brave he could be once the prejudice was gone. Sorry it took so long to get the chapter out - I won't be so long again

08/26/2007 01:06 pm
Chapter 14         
Oh I can't wait to see how they deal with Giles after this.
Hi honey. There is still quite a bit to sort out now that they have beaten the prophecy. Will they be able to save Willow from the dark side, and just who did kill Giles' father. The last chapter will be up soon, honey. I promise.

Man, Giles is a prick.

Nice job saving the day.
Why thank you kind maiden. I am not good at writing a tortured Spike, so I built the chapter around it. I am good at writing a tortured Angel though...LOL. Thanks again for your patience in waiting for an update, I know I have been a bad girl.

Sweet. :-)

That's the way to bring Giles down! That's the spirit!Way to go,and I love it.
Wannit good. Giles was a bad bad man in this fic - we just had to sort him out

Chapter 13         
Wow. that was intense. Loved Buffy standing up for Spike. Loved Spike taking Xander down a peg or 2. Spike's discussion with Giles was interesting - can't wait to see how that works out!
But I'm with Xander - don't get why they were all laughing about the D'Hoffryn comment. I'll have to think aobut it, I guess. :)
Hi BT_. Xander's bigotry, IMHO, stopped his character growing into something likeable. Pity that, but what a great personality for fanfic. If you wanna have a villain, there is always the Xand-man :D

06/25/2007 04:15 am
Chapter 13         
as always,love, a wonderful read. thank you. as often happens giles conclusions are based on misinformation. and then we have "brilliant" xander hitting a master vampire, that has killed two slayers, with his fist. shame spike didn't do more. loved it. thank again.
I would love for Spike to sort out Xander once and for all, and that might just happen in a fic of mine some day - hint hint

06/24/2007 10:46 pm
Chapter 13         
Game, set, and match!
Innit just Lou. I know I have made Giles a twat, but someone had to do it :D

06/24/2007 10:15 pm
Chapter 13         
hmmm....wonder who got giles believing that it was spike who killed his father...almost feel a bit of sympathy for the guy, but not quite...he's being so sadistic, so messed up about the whole thing...great chapter, love :)
Ah - but we like a bit of nasty in the men. I have put in a twist that might take me down leafy lanes, but I will pull it back. At least I hope so. Look out for the next chapter honey, it might be just the type of thing you like :D

loved this chapter! keep it up girl! :D
wonder what giles will do... hmm
really good work!
Why thank you kind maiden for your encouragement and the review. So many people read and say nothing - and I have to include myself in that - but to know that I can give pleasure to folks is worth all the toil.

06/24/2007 02:35 pm
Chapter 13         
Great chapter.
Thanks Inzey. The next chapter will be a bit gory I think, but we will get through it :D

06/24/2007 01:31 pm

I just love the rest of you chapter! Beautiful!
Why thank you for continuing to read and review. Us poor authors really really need it, especially when we feel down.

Chapter 13         
Please forgive me, my dear Gilly, what a bad friend I am, to not congratulate you on your many and well deserved nominations. You were right to add this conversation to this chapter. Will we ever know who it was who gave that information to Giles? What a fantastic chapter. Just loved the little scene between Spike and Xander, it was a long time coming. Thanks for the update, sweetie. *hugs*
Hi Verda, my angel. Once the chip had gone I always thought Spike would go for the whelp - I know I would if it was me - but what the hey. Lots to come yet babes, lots to come

06/24/2007 04:46 am
Chapter 13         
ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! great chapter!! ok answer that GILES lol

great chapter!
Hi babes. Yep, I have to say if Giles was so against Spike, why did he not try and kill him before. Lots to work on there I think.

Serenity

Chapter 13         
Ya know, I actually would love for Spike to kill Xander. It would make my day oh so much brighter. 'She’s always been mine. LOVE IT!
I just had to put that line in. Spike always thought of Buffy as his IMHO, I was just letting the readers know it :D

06/24/2007 12:43 am
Chapter 13         
Oh that was too good, both Spike and Joyce called him out on his lie.

I wonder who really did kill his father, I don't know what I am feeling it was Angelus.
Thanks babes for taking the time to review. A lot will be explained very soon, but I like to keep my readers guessing a bit.

"The same bastard of a vampire who had turned his father over twenty years ago; and he had been forced to stake his own flesh and blood. Something he could neither forgive, nor forget."
Spike murdered-no,TURNED Giles' father?
Now,that was harsh.
Why thank you kind maiden - I am so pleased that you are enjoying the fic - you are my star

Interesting Twist on the plot for Giles and Spike history and future - alas only two more chapter -
Hello my angel. The fact the you are continuing to read and review is a joy to me. I thank you so much. There will be some revelations still to come - I hope you like them.

OMG!! I love this story, I had plans of reviewing your story earlier but I just had to keep reading. To add to that,I don't review often so enjoy :D
This story is one of the best I've ever read, the plot is great, the characters feel just so real, I can really feel their pain etc.
Evil cliffhanger there.. giles.. hmm don't know if I like him at all.
anyhow.. update soon, like now ;)
And to everyone else: read it, you wont regret it!! promise.
I bow to you my lady for your fantastic review and your praise. You have really made me feel wonderful, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. As you need your fix, I promise to update in the next few days. You are my star, and I humbly thank you

06/18/2007 11:31 pm
Chapter 12         
I see what you mean about the time line, but it makes a good tale. So Spike turned Giles father? Well, that's a twist. No wonder he's no love for him here, So Giles is a bad guy for our fav couple. It won't hurt just Buffy but Dawn as well. Yup, won't look at the table the same way again. Great work Gilly, thanks for sharing sweetie.
Hi Verda. As I said to you last night, Eowyn was SO right. I did think of pulling it down and re-writing it a bit, but that would not have been fair to the readers who had already reviewed. All I could do was hold up my hands and say I got it wrong. Thanks again for taking the time to review - you know I love you, right?

06/17/2007 10:58 pm
Chapter 12         
I so do not like Giles in this one.
MOre please can't wait to see if the plan will fail or not.
Hi honey, I promise there will be an update very soon. And it will be a doozy. If you follow my work, you will know that I prefer plot to smut, but you can't have Spike and not have smut :D. I promise that things will turn out better - you will just have to wait and see

the revelation about Giles' father was a great twist. Woulld be even better if it turned out to be false - Angel did it or something, and Giles has been blaming Spike all this time. Great story - glad to see an updte! :)
Hi BT_. I'm really sorry that it has taken so long, but RL has been a real bitch. I promise it won't be as long till the next chapter, as my muse has come back with a vengeance and wants revenge for not continuing. Thanks again for taking the time to read and review - you are my star, as always

06/17/2007 04:23 am

he he he he great chapter as always! can't wait for the next!!!!
Hi honey, sorry about taking so long to post, but RL got in the way for a while there. I will be posting another chapter this week, I hope. It will be my way of thanking all the wonderful readers for their patience.

oh man...i didn't know giles was going to go *that* bad!!!! poor spike, i hope they manage to keep him from getting hurt too bad... great chapter, love :)
Hi DOS, my sweet. Giles is a real sod in this story, and will only get worse. As for Xander, don't even get me started on the whelp :D. Things will improve, but not right away. Gotta love the plot, I am all about the plot

06/16/2007 08:34 pm

giles, hopefully will not survive this. very good read, thank you.
Hi Vladt, thanks as always for taking the time to review and for putting up with the weeks between updates. I have just been so busy, but hopefully I am back on track now - You are my star.....

06/16/2007 08:22 pm
Chapter 12         
I'm confused... did I miss something? The Last Encounter took place in season 5, according to the category it's in... and this is the sequel to that, right? So, why has Spike never met Anya and Tara? Both of those relationships started in season 4, when Spike was very much around. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just really confused now as to when the story took place.
Oh my pet, you are so right about the timelines. *Holds hands up in defeat*. To be honest it wasn't until your review that I realised the mistake I had made. All I can do is ask everyone to suspend belief. I did think of pulling down the chapter and re-writing it a bit, but it's a bit late now. I'm sorry about it, but please don't hold it against me. I promise to make sure it doesn't happen again. And I don't think you are a jerk, I can only thank you for being honest. There is nothing worse than a 'good chapter' review - at least you read and take in what the author is trying to portray - and for that I really do thank you.

06/16/2007 04:19 pm
Chapter 12         
I see the end of the Scoobies' friendship if this happens!
Lou, my angel. As always thank you for taking the time to read and review. I promise you wont have so long to wait this time for a chapter. I hope to have something with you ever so soon.

06/16/2007 02:35 pm
Chapter 12         
Giles wants to deliver Spike to Jansen? Buffy's going to be furious when she finds out.
Great chapter.
Hi Inzey, yep he wants to help Jansen because of his own prejudice. I am nasty, but I like to have some plot in my stories - I am evil for that type of thing hee hee. Next chapter very soon

06/16/2007 02:26 pm
Chapter 12         
Bad Giles! Bad Xander! They should get over their hatred before Buffy starts kicking ass...
Hi Avalon, Buffy will most definitely sort them all out; but not quite yet. They all need to beat this prophecy, and soon. Next chapter is already on the drawing board, so I won't keep you waiting long

Chapter 11         
Hi Sweetie, I told you I would be here reading. So happy they mated at last. Wished she would have decked Giles, he'd been lying to her for three years and Spike didn't know that she was in love with him or he would have come back long before this, Giles played them all. Yup, Xander is going to a have a cow, it should be fun to watch. Now to find a way around them killing Spike! He can lose most of his blood without dying and Dawn can't, hope that's going to be to answer. Missed reading, so much. Thanks Gilly, loved it!
Verda, my pet. I don't think she is finished with Giles just yet - you know how twisted my mind can be *grins*. The next chapter is in the pipeline and will hopefully be up soon. I got a bit distracted writing another historical AU fic, but I can't post it here. I will send you a link when I reply to your e-mail. Love, as always, Gilly.

05/22/2007 06:44 am
Chapter 11         
excellent read, thank you. spike didn't get what he deserved for not telling buffy before the claim. giles has earn much, much more than he has received so far.
Hi vladt, Buffy is not finished with Spike yet. Her anger was all for Giles, but time will tell. There will be more very soon, I promise

05/21/2007 05:53 pm
Chapter 11         
Pity they couldn't use Giles as a sacrifice *growls at Giles*

Pity no-one knew how to motivate Buffy into research before :P
Hi Avalon, isn't Giles just a git in this fic. There are some other issues in there that need sorted out, and I will be getting to that soon. Thanks again for the review, sweets.

05/21/2007 04:48 pm
Chapter 11         
Another great chapter. I am glad that Buffy did not stay angry with Spike for long. That claim is a wonderful thing. I do not have any sympathy for Giles. Hopefully, Spike won't have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Hi Bridget, all will be revealed soon. I want to make Giles squirm a little bit more first - oh I can't wait for that. Thanks for taking the time to review - you made my day.

05/21/2007 12:59 pm
Chapter 11         
First I still think that Spike should have told her what he had planned. But I loved how Dawn and Joyce played Giles. He was just wrong in every aspect. I am hoping that they do find a way around this prophecy.
hi letitia, I can't say too much, but I am Spuffy all the way. I hope thats enough to keep you interested. Thank you again for taking the time to review.

i love possessive, protective buffy :P loved this chapter, very nicely done...loved giles squirming because of all his deceptions and his rotten attitude...can't wait to see what happens next :)
Thanks DoS for taking the time to read and review. I still have to explore why Giles hates Spike so much, yet forgives Angel. That might be interesting. There is lots to come yet, sweets, lots to come

05/20/2007 10:40 pm
Chapter 11         
If Duffy can face Giles off like that, she can dish it to the Scoobies too. Go, girl!
Hi Lou, yep she gave him what for, but I don't think she finished yet. Protecting those she loves was always one of her greatest strengths, and we will just have to see what happens now.....

05/20/2007 05:50 pm
Chapter 11         
WOW great chapter! Very much deserved to be nominated!!!!

Can't wait to see how they get Spike out of this one!

and I just REALLY REALLY hate Giles sometimes!!!!

thank you!
Hi honey, how are you these days? Her anger at Giles stopped her starting Spike, but there might me some fireworks later. Just how Xander will take their news could be fun. We already Willow and Tara will be OK - but tough times ahead I think.

05/20/2007 04:39 pm
Chapter 11         
Must have been bad finding out everything like Buffy did, but I'm glad she didn't hit him, like she did before.
Great chapter.
Thanks Inzey. I think she has changed for the better, but she will still have to deal with Giles and the Scoobies. More fun to be had very soon

05/20/2007 01:40 pm
Chapter 11         
so now we look for a way to save Spike, and we know they all will find one.
Hi honey. They will find a way soon, I promise, but there are some things that need to be fixed first I think. I will try to update a lot quicker this time.

Oh, what a risk Joyce took in making sure Giles outted himself. Good thing that claim was in place, or Spike would've been in SO much trouble......Good to see you back and congrats of the noms.....

Hi Kimber. RL has just kicked my ass over the last 3 weeks, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I think we need to find out just why Giles has always had a downer on Spike. That might be interesting

giles is such an ass...bäääh! But i love the rest...beautiful...more please!
Hi MOa, I think we need to find out just why Giles always puts Spike down, no matter what sacrifice he makes for Buffy. I think I will sort that out in the next chapter.

Chapter 10         
It doesn't do to get Joyce angry does it? Nice one!
Not at all Lou. I can just imagine the fallout.....

Chapter 10         
WOW another great chapter! man oh man! its getting deep now! I want to slap Giles but then I kinda half expected something like that out of him gggggrrrrrrr! Great chapter!
Hi goldm00n, I know it's getting a bit deep, and it really wasn't meant to. My muse took over and wants some plot, well to be honest it wants a LOT of plot. There will more up soon, babes, I promise

Chapter 10         
well i'm glad that clem didn't get hurt, but now i'm scared for spike...and giles was just deliberately hurtful, and that makes me furious with him...i'm not liking him much in this fic :P great chapter, though, and i *am* loving this fic!!!
Thank you, my dear. I used to really like Giles, but at the end of the series he had turned into a total twat. I want to punish him a little bit for not liking our Spike, and I promise you that I will. la la la la la

Chapter 10         
Hey Gilly, hope you had a great time in London all week. Yup, got to get to some of the plot here. Totally going along with Joyce and Dawn on the Giles hate wagon. What's this Janson going to do with Spike? Guess we'll soon find out. Great chapter, looking forward to more.
Hi Verda, my star and friend. I was going to make this chapter longer with a bit of torture to Clem, and then I thought NOOOOO. Clem does not deserve that cos he was just so sweet and harmless. Look for the fireworks when all the lies start to come out. Buffy will be just that little bit pissed methinks

05/04/2007 05:08 am
Chapter 10         
huh. That was interesting. SO - if this demon lady was taking demons from our dimension to be slaves, was she doing Buffy a favor, sort of? Should Buffy have killed her, if there were fewer demons for her to deal with because of demon lady's actions? Aah - the grey areas. Fasinating food for thought.
Can't wait for Spike to meet mr bad guy.
Hi BT_, can you just imagine the snark and the banter and the fighting. I can't wait to write it. Next chapter will be up very soon, I promise

Oh and the plot thickens......and why did Giles not share with Spike his belief that this is all to break Buffy.....for the demons to kill her....for would it not have been in Buffy's interest then to let Dawn die and have Spike do everything to protect Buffy as she grieved......bad Giles bad watcher, LOL.....love your OC as well. I wonder how Jansen will react when he meets Spike, Buffy's mate..and how Buffy will react to the news I'm sure Joyce and Dawn will share, and how betrayed she'll feel by psudeo psycho daddy watcher man, and her mate......I WANT MORE, lol. And congrats on the noms, you deserve them adn I'm sure more will be coming.......

Kimber
Thanks Kimber. I am just having fun with the end of series, totally idiotic, self-centred git that the Giles character became. I promise that Buffy will sort him out big time - more very soon

couldn't they transfuse giles with the slayer's blood? and then just laugh as they tortured him? always been big fan of giles. yeah, right. very good read, thank you.

very good read, thank you. enjoyed spike's rant. expect some fallout for not telling buffy about his plan, before the claiming.
Oh vladt, there will be fallout aplenty - I can't wait to write that chapter LOL

Chapter 9         
oh, and as for not telling her about the mating thing, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. What a completely typical Spike move. Silly vampire.

It makes me feel very sorry for Buffy. Will he ever truly and completely grasp what he means to her?

*sigh*
hi honey, isn't he just the stupid vampire. We will have to just wait and see .

04/26/2007 05:34 am
Chapter 9         
I gotta admit, in the last few chapters, i was really struggling with Spike. He was just being so... much of a poophead, you know?

And i was really considering whether I even wanted him to end up with Buffy, or have her find someone better for her.

But after the first jalf of this chapter?!?! All I could think was 'Thank god! Finally' I mean, I know he was trying to say he still had feelings for Buffy before, but I just wasn't feeling it. But this chapter, made me feel SOOOO much better about things! Yes, Spike DOES love Buffy, and Yes, it was HELL for gim to keave her.

And I can't tell you how relieved I am that Buffy was never with anyone else in their time apart, and that Spike didn't really claim a mate. No matter the circumstances, Buffy would never, and should never, forgive that.

Can't wait to see more! :D
Hi honey, I totally agree with all you say - the next chapter will be up very soon - please watch out for it.

Kimber
04/25/2007 11:47 pm
Chapter 9         
Oh, great way to pull them together and make each of them understand each other for the first time and giving them the opening to flush out each others feelings.....and the mating, shit that was..there are no words to describe the excellence of this chapter.....but I see heart breaking scenes in the future for this act of love was done in a lie, and for Buffy it will mean finding out her lover and mate has betrayed her in more ways than one and could be even more then anyone ever has.......Hope you don't work too hard in London, and I wish I was there, LOL........
Hi Kimber. You know me, sweetie, I can't just write PWP 'cos I just love plot and this one will have plenty.

04/25/2007 11:08 pm
Chapter 9         
That was beautifully done -- a spectacular reunion. Buffy's honesty was suitably rewarded. There'll be strength in their unity -- not to mention from the claiming. More soon please.
Hi Lou, once I am back from London I will get the next chapter up. It wont be too long

04/25/2007 10:49 pm
Chapter 9         
well as sexy and romantic as that was, i think spike just made a huge mistake...he should have told her the truth, regardless...because maybe there *is* another way, and he's not thinking of how badly losing him would hurt her, after everyone else she's already lost :( great chapter, love, and now i'm on the edge of my seat for more :P
Hi DoS, I think so too. She will really really freak when she works out what he is intending to do. Let the games begin............

Excellent chapter. I really loved Spike's ranting, but my favorite part was when Buffy said Welcome home Spike and he ran into her open arms. That was perfect.

Wow, Gilly, if this is a little treat for you going to London for the week, I say you need to stay in London more often. That was incredible, their claiming and their first time together since he'd left. What Spike doesn't know won't hurt him. He's not going anywhere if Buffy has anything to say about it. Thanks for the unexpected and fabulous update.
Hi Verda, I had to keep the peeps interested. Chapter 10 is almost ready and will be up very soon

Thank you for the update *claps* but you do realize you left us with another cliffie, right? Of course they would have that kind of power. If they could take out the chip it's not any leap of the imagination that they could give him back "his" soul and not a cursed on like Angelus. This is awesome, can't wait 'til the next one, thanks.
Hi honey, I'm trying my best to get something out before I disappear to the wilds of London for a week. I will try my best - and as always, thank you for your review

Lovely chapter....such a great showing of how Buffy's anger was her defense, like Spike's lies where his. Once he relaxed and started with the nicknames, giving her a sense of his still caring/loving her it opened thing up between them so they could really talk....if that makes sense. Me wants more, and I know I will have to be patient...I will try.....cause now I need to know about the SOUL, LOL
Hi Kimber, I am trying to get another chappy out before I fly out on Monday, but we will have to wait and see. Thanks, as always luv, for taking the time to review. As you know so well, they feed us authors better than chocolate

Ah, had a feeling....

And Buffy can be such a bitch!! You don't just get to hit people just because you're stronger than they are, or have strength period.
Hi kim, she is a bit fond of the fists at times, but at least she calmed down and listen. A subtle shift in their relationship - and a stong chance that she will listen to his reasoning now.

Gah!!! He exchanged the chip for the soul? Thanks for churning this chap out so we'd have something to read - but what a cliffie to leave us for a week on! And really sweet scene between the two of them. Glad she got over being mad at him.

Chapter 8         
You know, Buffy does need to learn she can't just hit out physically. But I think he actually deserves it this time. I never thought I would ever say this, but I really don't like this Spike.

He stays away from Buffy for years. Then he comes back and blatantly lies to her. The girl already has trust issues - and frankly, I don't blame her. I think she has a valid point about the chip - what else has he lied about?? Mate, chip.... the list goes on.


That reviewer said exactly what my issue is! But seriously - if I don't have some sort of crazy thing against Spike in a story - it's VERY unusual - Not real sure what my problem is...
you don't have a problem babes, you just have opinions. He has been a bit of a dick so far, but he might just turn everything around - at least we hope so.

04/21/2007 01:35 am
Chapter 8         
Interesting! Hope to hear mre soon!

But btw - my review for the last chap? I meant I want 'MY love FOR Spike' to come back' - it's obvious he still loves Buffy, I'm just simply having some issues with him - which is completely normal for me! lol
Hi babes, I am hoping to post another chapter over the weekend. I am off the net for a week working away from home, and I don't think its fair to leave everyone in the lurch....

I am enjoying the premise of this story, but not that Buffy keeps resorting to violence. Didn't she mature at all in teh time Spike was gone?
Hi BT_, right now she is hitting out because she is hurt, once Spike manages to convince her that everything will be alright, things will begin to get better......if she can stop the prophecy of course.

I hope you can change my mind, and I await the next installment with curiosity.
I hope I can change your mind too, honey. The whole point of the story is that, although he loves her to distraction, he is just determined she wont hurt HIM!. The fact he is hurting her has not occurred to him yet - but it will

oh man...this could get ugly...but at least he's not putting up with her abuse anymore...maybe she'll learn that she can't treat him like that...and that he would be willing to sacrifice himself for dawn is so sweet, once buffy hears that part she'll feel really bad for the way she's treating him now :( great chapter, love, thoroughly enjoyed it :)

Chapter 7         
Just got caught back up with this story. I have to admit that I had my doubts about the mate thing, but convinced myself that I was being paranoid. I loved the prophecy. I had to read it several times. It is wonderfully written and has such a great cadence and poetry to it, too bad really that it has to foretell doom. ; ) Buffy's reaction at the end of this chapter struck me as odd. My first thought was how could she be wondering about the chip when she just found out that he doesn't have a mate. But then I remembered Spike saying something about conditions for him working with the Council. I wonder if that was it. Still loved this story. Can't wait for more.
Hi Jessica, she is such a confused bint, but then she always was. The next chapter will be up over the weekend, hopefully, and we might just find out what the hell as been going on.....

04/19/2007 10:57 am
Chapter 7         
Buffy is even dumber than I thought if she believes he's just waiting for a chance to kill her. She really doesn't know him at all, does she?
I totally agree, but then she never did or she would never have picked Angel (blah) over him. But all that might just change soon....

Oh, I've been waiting for this. OH, poor Buffy really, her life is a rollar coaster out of control. So many people lying to her and most of the lies she really have no clue about, yet. Now, the chip is gone, and soon she will have to be the one to chose which of her loved ones must die. Spike and Giles think this will be easy, but we all know that it will crush her if they can't find a way to save those she loves. Brilliant prophecy you made up.....I wonder if Buffy will decide she will die instead to save those she loves, oh you have me worrying, LOL. I'm so addicted to this story, it's not even funny, LOL

Hi Verda. RL has been a bit of a sod in the last few weeks, but the story just had to come out. I was going to stop the chapter when Spike said he had to mate with Buffy, but that just would not have been fair to the lovely readers who follow the story. Spuffy soon, though, I promise

I always hated the way that Buffy beat up on Spike and it is nice to see that come to a halt. And I like the way that he defended himself without hitting her back but only restraining her--shows his character! I have to admit being relieved that there is no mate and intrigued with Buffy's possible reactions to Spike's plan. Waiting anxiously until your next update...
Hi Sibb, he is tired of all her violence, even though he is attracted by it. Maybe she will finally see how much he cares for her - and how much they belong together - more very soon

So,it was all bollocks,huh? it's gonna be hard to make it up to Buffy I suppose,isn't it? Which,it only makes the whole fic far more interesting as the chapters pass by! Love it!
It was all major Bollocks babes, but the tension was good. I am so glad you are liking the fic, and will keep on reading....

Okay, you have fooled me *lol* I'm glad there's no wife/mate to worry about. I'm loving this story so far! :)
Oh Tanja, thank you so much. The storyline might be strange - but it's worth it, believe me

Just got back to work and read the update and I must say...Wow! I knew Spike was up to something! Ha, ok I didn't really know per say, but I really really hoped he was telling a fib about being mated. Great installment, babes. As always, eagerly anticipating the next chapter!
Thanks babes. There will be more soon, I need to get to the prophecy and sort out wanker Giles. More soon

Chapter 6         
I don't think Spike screwed up. And I don't think Clem should be blaming him. It's time Buffy take responsibility. All she needed to do was to try to find him. He would have heard she was looking. Sitting on her butt for 3 years when she chased Spike out of town doesn't give her the high ground. I don't blame him for trying to protect his heart. And Buffy trying to hit him first thing doesn't endear her to him either. It just proves that he was right to protect himself. She's acting very spoiled as if she's entitled to Spike's love when she hasn't done anything to nurture it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Someone who can TOTALLY see where I am coming from. I made him leave to grow a pair, now he has there is no way she will cut them off again. You are my star!!!!!!!

Yup, Spike. You well and truly bollocksed things up!
Maybe, but I think Buffy needs to tell him she cares. And there is still all the stuff with Giles to come yet

04/10/2007 01:43 am
Chapter 6         
Oooh, that stupid lying Spike! He's just making more trouble for himself. Once Buffy finds out the truth, I doubt she'll let him get away with that, even if she does love him. Great chapter!
Hi toots, Buffy might be mad right now, but I think her rage will go nuclear soon. Giles is SO gonna get it.

04/10/2007 12:43 am
Chapter 6         
Okay. I am just glad that Spike does not have a mate, but he had to know that it would not go over well. And how can he deny Clem's words when she practicly threw herself at him when she came through the door. I am glad that he listened to Clem aobut it.
Hi babes, I think her reaction stunned him too. He was already to takeit further before Dawn stepped in with her bombshell. If she is angry now - what will she be like when she finds out Giles kept information from her for years - oh joy!!!!

04/09/2007 06:53 am
Chapter 6         
oh man....that sounds very bad..and good thing that clem is there, to talk some sense into the stupid vamp!!! great chapter, love, looking forward to reading more as soon as you can update :)
Why thank you my lady. There will be more very very soon, and hopefully some more truths will appear. It's Giles I would worry about, the slayer is going to be SOOOO pissed at him

04/09/2007 12:00 am
Chapter 6         
This makes all kinds of sense. He didn't look like someone who was missing a mate or a spouse, and it's hard to believe Spike would make that kind of commitment to someone he didn't love.

I like what you are doing with this fic. When I'm in a "go Spuffy" mood, lines like "I have a wife" feel like a dagger to the heart. When I'm in a "Buffy is too much of a bitch for my sweet Spike" mood, then I just love that line. In this fic, though, that line makes both sides of me pretty darned happy. Buffy gets knocked off her high horse, but he's not really moved on.

Looking forward to more!
In my world Spike could never move on from Buffy. He was trying to protect his heart, and it has all come crashing around him. She will have a lot to prove to him, cos I am determined that he keep his self-respect. It's Giles I feel sorry for, the slayer is gonna be SOOOOO mad.

When Spike said he didn't have a mate, I was all "yes!".
I'm glad Inzey. Wait till Buffy finds out that Giles knew where he was all along - that will be a cracker

Well thanks for the explanation. However,why in the world would you have Spike behave so stupidly. His reasoning is totally ludicrous. If he really loved Buffy as much as he says he does he would not have done something so hurtful. It will be interesting to read how you get them back together without either party become destroyed. Thanks for the update. Althoug, I totally hate Spike's actions I do like your story.
He never was the brightest button in the box when it came to his dealings with Buffy, was he. He just didn't know she cared enough to be hurt, and now it's fallout. It's Gile I would feel sorry for when the slayer finds out he has known spike's movements for years - I can't wait to write that one

04/08/2007 09:20 pm
Chapter 6         
Oh, but first she needs to find out he lied about being mated. For I wouldn't repect her if she tried to win him back by acting like the other woman. But then, he'd have to face a few of his loved ones who trusted him and deal with his big lie and WHY he lied to begin with. Oh, I'm all for Spike not being her lap dog don't get me wrong, I so see your need to do that. So I'll wait (not so) patiently,(LOL)to see what you have instore for them.......for us the readers....
Hi Kimber, I totally agree. She would never try and win him back if she thinks he is taken. But how will she deal with Giles when she finds out he has known exactly where Spike has been, and what he's been doing - I am going to really enjoy writing that little confrontation.

04/08/2007 09:20 pm
Chapter 6         
Oh Glynis, I'm so happy you did that. I held out a little hope that he wasn't telling the truth but he said it so fast, not pausing for one second. It came out to natually to hope he lying. Thank you for having Clem tell him the truth,now for Giles to set Buffy straight and let these two have their moment before the the days are up. Do these demons know that Spike will fight by her side or do they just think he's there join in the chaos? So glad I'm going to read it again. Love this so much, thanks.
Hi Verda, thanks for reviewing honey. There are a few twists and turns to go yet, but there will also be a lot of Spuffy. We still have to deal with lying Giles first - Oh the fun I will have with that one

Well, THAT doesn't sound good.

Glad to have it confirmed that Spike's mate is all smoke and illusion. Not too happy that Buffy tried to hit him. Not completely hating this version of Dawn. (An amazing feat!)
Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the review babes. He will still have some backbone as no one has told him she loves him. Miss him, maybe. Want him for a shag, definately. But will he sucumb. Oh the possibilities

I am so loving you right now, It was a lie, thank god, I hate to see the hurt like that.

But Dawn was right his mate not be a female, and whats this working for the Council if Giles knew and Clem knew and it was affectting Buffy why not bring him home sooner and is he still working for the council and I also hope if he was getting paid or still is then Buffy better be too, since they are doing the same job.
I can actually think to review, not just say I hate he is mated and might not read it much longer. I waited it out just like you said.
Happy Easter.
Thanks for the review honey. We had to get rid of the 'mate', and I had to do it before the readership started to hunt me down. LOL. I'm glad you're enjoying it as there is much more to come

So, I have bad news & good news.

the good news is, Spike is back in my good graces! THANK YOU!! :) The bad news is, I still feel the need to whoop him upside the head, but it's nothing I can't simply remind myself about that he IS human after all... ;)

the other bad news is, I'm really not liking Dawn, but that's pretty typical for me. :P

THANKS AGAIN! :D Great update!
Dawn could be a real whiney bitch, but she did bring him back. Will she tell him she loves him, or will she chicken out as usual. Read on babes to find out.

04/08/2007 03:34 pm
Chapter 6         
Oh, silly Spike and how smart of Clem to point out how Spike pulled an Angel and opened his eyes to what Buffy has been waiting for over the last three years. Now, he will see that it wasn't her typical smack coming his way...it was not the slayer hitting out at the evil bad vampire....no, it was the hurt woman smacking at the one she'd come to love and felt betrayed by. Now will he lose his Buffy, by protecting Dawn who is being used as a pawn to get at the slayer....hmmmmm. Great chapter honey and I soo need more soon, LOL
Hi Kimber, thanks as always for the review. He might think twice about the hurt he has caused, but in my story he is still determined that she prove her love for him - for a change. Keep reading, there is much more to come

Chapter 5         
Oh my dear Gillypod... I'm trying desperately not to flame you right now. This exact same thing happened with DoS's 'Because He Needs Her' fic. It was so beautifully written, but I developed such a pasionate hatred for the Spike of her 'verse that I literally HAD to stop reading mere chapters before the conclusion or else I might have thrown a shoe at my computer! lol!

I don't want a repeat of that & I know everyone is entirely deserving of writing what they want to write, so if I mysteriously disappear in the next couple chapters, i mean no offense.

This really is a great storyline, I simply don't know if I'll be able to cope with Spike/Other as well as I was hoping.
If you bear with me honey, the next chapter will sort out the other for you. Please keep reading and if I muck up the next chapter, then flame flame flame me

Dawn was determined to get back at Spike, but I am so sorry that Buffy got caught in the middle of this. But what did he expect. Buffy really should have left the room and not fall back into bad habits but I so can understand her shock. Glad that Clem was able to find him and get him to come back to the crypt. Loved the chapter.
I think Clem will have a lot to say to him - and vice versa. Oh the possibilities the next chapter will hold......

Great chapter! Glad your back! Stupid Buffy! Yes she's hurt but thats no excuse right back to kick the Spike. Glad Spike didn't take it. Can't wait for the next update! Thank you!
Buffy might not like the new Spike, but maybe - for a change - she will learn to respect him. One sided love never works. It's about time both of them learned that lesson- don't you think?

Silly Spike, while he was away he should've worked on understanding women more. For right now, if Buffy is a bitch, he's a bastard. He drew frist blood first, especially if he lied to them all. If all he was doing was to protect himself, well it has it's consequences. If he couldn't read between the lines on what just happened, he's such a silly vampire. And I can't blame Buffy, cause to be honest after his reaction to seeing me and then finding out he was about to snog me, I wouldn've done more than smack his face. Now, let's see where you take are astranged lovers next, and if Spike does tell Clem the truth, and I wonder what little insight our favorte baggy skinned demon can share with dense ole Spikey.....and we find out just how hard Buffy is taking the news back home.
Clem might just save the day, we will have to wait and see. Buffy always hid her feelings except when it came to Angel - I wonder if this time it will be different.

Yup, typical Buffy. She feels hurt, so she strikes out in the coldest, rudest way possible. Can't even act like a grown-up....still.

I'm guessing Clem will get the truth from Spike.

Can I just say how much I love Dawn. She put Spike on the spot and he needs to be. I understand how much Buffy hurt him in the past but as least he could have told Dawn while she was communicating with him. And he should have stopped Buffy from jumping into his arms.. Can't wait for this explanation.

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy

I expected Dawn to be angry just like I expected Joyce to understand. Buffy is going to freak out and I don't think Spike is going to get anywhere close to the reaction he was expecting.

But I wonder... will she go back to being the jerk she always was with him when she finds out?

Great chapter! enjoy your vacation and cant' wait for more!!!

And Dawn can be a bit evil can't she? I love it. I am curious about this wife thing though. If he claimed another vampire cause they wanted to be together forever, can it still be broken? Cause I'm all with the Spuffy.

I don't believe that Spike could be mated to someone if he loved Buffy so much. This has to be a story Spike made up to protect himself. At least I hope so. Although, I think it is a really stupid plan. It will be hard waiting a week for an update but I hope it will be worth it and Buffy won't be emotionally destroyed. Have a great vacation.

Thanks Glynis, love this sequel.

Oh, that's just going to *kill* her, to hear it like that. Not even giving him a chance to build up to it or anything - the first thing he says has to be "I'm married." Bad bad Dawn! I have faith in your Spuffy loyalty, so I don't mind that you're keeping them apart for now, and I'm loving the angst it creates. That better be a short holiday, because we need more story! But do enjoy yourself. :)

Oh my goodness. How could he marry someone else. I know that Buffy was not nice to him but if he truly loved her as he says he would have just had girlfriends and not married someone else. This is heartbreaking. I hope that this information won't break her.
Hi Bridget, there is lots more to come. Everyone will have their say, including Buffy - oh the possibilities

what??? spike's married now??? how's that again??? oh poor buffy...and actually, poor wife too, since he's still in love with buffy... :( how is *this* ever going to be resolved...you caught me completely off guard with that one, love, and i can't wait to read more :)
HI DoS - I just love putting in little twists and turns. There will be more soon, after all Buffy and Spike have still to meet

03/20/2007 05:03 pm
Chapter 3         
You have got to be kidding...You couldn't be so evil, this is going to break Buffy for ever...

Okay enough said good chapter, more so and please let Spike divorce wife .....
Hi babes, we will just have to wait and see wont we - I am evil personified and I love it

03/20/2007 04:55 pm
Chapter 3         
Well that's just peachy isn't it? Didn't think he'd been celibate but married? That's just going to break her heart, guess now she'll know how he felt then won't she? Demon or human? Don't know how she'll be able to have him fight along side of her knowing they can't be together. That was one hell of a twist girl, great job, looking forward to more.
I know Verda, but you know what I'm like. I just love plot and the Spuffy will come along eventually.

I apologize for my knee-jerk reaction earlier, sorry for flipping out on you. Had a majorly shitty day and was totally disappointed that the story fell even deeper instead of things looking up. Guess I just have to keep the faith that you know what you´re doing.
Hi Angi, don't worry babes - I didnt take offence. You only said what a lot of people are thinking. Please wait on the next chapter - you just might like it.

I was really liking this story and how time and distance would make Buffy realize her feelings for Spike but I got to say, that last sentence of 'I have a wife' is a killer!!I'll keep reading and hoping that that it isn't as bad as it sounds because I really feel bad when Spike finds someone else and they love and care for him and then he breaks their heart because he goes back to Buffy. **Crosses fingers and hopes**
Shanna, have faith in me babes please. It will be worth it.

You have to be shitting me! You told me to keep the faith and that it would get better. Now this! I hate it! Hate it! Hate it!You betrayed my trust! I am pissed off! If he gets together with Buffy again, he is a cheater! And he cannot love Buffy at all if he can move on so well that he marries within three years! Gosh, what is it with you authors that you always have to dive into the deepest shit before they can get together.... I´m mad as hell....
Angi pet, don't worry too much. Remember he doesn't know how she feels. Has it ever occured to you that maybe he is saying things to stop Dawn and Joyce asking him questions he doesn't want to answer? Come on sweetheart, could this story be anything but Spuffy. Might be a good bit of angst first though.

WOW! I didn't see it coming! He has a wife! WOW! Take that Buffy! Ok all in justice it is good but who is his wife, is he in love with her, how will it be spuffy, is his wife human or not? Lots and lots of questions... you have to update soon! Can't wait to read more!
Hi sour. In the words of 'I Love Lucy' he'll have some 'splainin' to do. Remember, he thinks Buffy is lost to him forever.

What! A wife! Oh my God! How will Joye and Dawn react to that, and how will Buffy react to that?

poor spike...he's so gunshy at this moment...but i'm glad buffy decided to go ahead and leave...hope he lets her talk to him later ... great chapter by the way, love :)
why thank you for the compliments, kind maiden. There is a lot to be said between them, but there is a lot to be done to save Dawn too. They may not have realised it yet, but time is starting to run out - read on babes, you might just be surprised

03/17/2007 05:06 am
Chapter 2         
Beautiful chapter Glynis. Can't wait 'til they tell him that Buffy wants to see him too, how she feels about him, now that Joyce is sure of those feelings. Hope he waits for her when he knows she's coming home and sees how upset she is, that she does have feels for him. Letting him see the possibilty of being happy with all the Summers women. Great work, thanks.
Hi verda, long time no hear. I've working away from home again *pouts*, but I managed to get this chappy up. You know me, I much prefer plot and this will have plenty - talk to you soon babes

03/17/2007 02:56 am
Chapter 2         
wonderful read, thank you.spike is lost anyway, he might as well talk to her; not that they will communicate.
Hi vladt, I suppose I could have them meet, have them shag and have them live happy ever after, but that's just not me. I love to write plot and in this story it's Dawn in danger. Buffy just might have to wait a while before she gets everything her own way. Stick with me honey, it might be a hell of a ride

03/16/2007 05:23 pm
Chapter 2         
to a degree I do feel bad for Buffy. But she really has to understand where the man is coming from. They didn't end on good terms and this is really about Dawn. And thank goodness for Joyce sticking to her guns. Maybe they both need this time and can work something out but they have to make this about each other and Dawn not what THEY want for themselves.
Hi Letitia, we are singing from the same page here. It was Dawn he came back to save, and we have to remember that. I love plot, babes, so stick with me please

Oh please let him talk to Buffy, I think there was alot of miscommuniction the first time around.
Hi honey, communication is a wonderful thing, but they are both stubborn and a bit full of themselves sometimes. Wait and see how this pans out, it may just surprise you

Well Buffy's attitude seems to have changed but let's face it, pre-shag she was a monster!
Wasn't she just Lou. One good shag does not a nice slayer make - or does it.........

Chapter 2         
Oh, so sad......for her to belief she deserved heartbreak...and all he had to see was her reaction to seeing him that things had changed since their last encounter, and some for the good and yet some for the bad. I wonder if what Buffy is feeling is also what led the others Slayers to want death. Could be the love of mom and sis is the what's kept her alve longer than most. I think ole Spike is going to be surprised when he meets Buffy face to face, but by then she might have her defense attitude up so she can try and ignore her broken heart so she can protect her sister. Or could Joyce pull off the deed....More please......
Hi Kimber, here is lots to come you. You know me of old, I just LOVE plot. Let's see where this might take us.......

NICE Ending - very much enjoying this and the first story - Like your Spike with more quality of self-respect and dignity than is oftentimes depicted in many works -
Hi babes, I wanted him to have some backbone for a change, and that is how I wrote him. He is on another journey now - but will he like it?

OH WOW!!!

Ok you got me HOOOOKED! boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!

There will be spuffy, darling, you might just have to wait for it. after all, it's been 3 years since they last met. Now we need to find out if they still want each other. The journey begins........

oh man...i hope buffy's not a jerk about this...and ya know, i kind of hope she lets her go alone...at this point in time i'm more than a little ticked at buffy anyway for the way she was treating spike in the last story, and i think spike needs a little space, and a little time to catch up with his friend...
so far this story is awesome, love, i'm enjoying it and very much looking forward to more ;)
AHHHHH - DoS has reviewed me - AHHHHH. Thank you, thank you. There is much more to come and there will be a hefty amount of plot in there. The Spuffy may be a while in showing itself, but where would a story be if all they did was SHAG.

Oh sorry my bad! I just reread the transcript of "Real Me" and yes Dawn was 14 in during season 5 so it makes her 17 during the time of your sory and I honestly don't know why I am so attached to this age subject :D I guess I thout her age is related to the prophesy, and now I am babling which is so not cute on a guy on my age :S Any way can' wait to read more!
You babble all you want, sour. To me your review shows how much you enjoy attention to detail and I think that is admirable. Please continue to read my little tale, sweetheart, you may just like it.

WOW! great start for a sequel! That's just great, Spike being in touch only with Clem and Dawn, it makes sense I guess though if they were in touch wouldn't he know about past years' events? and if Spike left after sometihg stupid it should be during season 4 or five which makes Dawn 15 at most 16, but I guess if you made Dawn 17 there is a reason.Oh and why iceland? Great update anyway, please update soon!!!!!
HI sour, I chose Iceland as it is totally dark for 6 month of the year. for the other 6 months we will have to continue to read to see how he spends his time. thanks for the review, honey, it made my day

Hi Inzey, it will go far. Both our heroes are hurt - will they comfort each other? Probably. Will it turn into love on BOTH sides? More that likely. Will it be easy? Definitely not!!!!

Hi angie, this is Spuffy and there will always be a happy ending - the thing to ask yourself is, will it be easy. If you know my writing, you will know that I love plot - so read on babes.

Chapter 1         
Thanks Glynis. So glad you got to this right away. Never thought that he'd be gone that long and be living in Iceland. Without a doubt that would bring him back to SunnyD. Nice touch with him sending Clem money and taking care of his friend. Love what he's done with the crypt. So Buffy couldn't stay away from the crypt? Hope she thought of him every time she stepped into it over the last three years. Hope that took the wind out of her sails. Wondering how she's felt about him over the years. So looking forward to this. Thanks, wonderful beginning.
Thanks Verda, you know me and I am a plot girl at heart. Although it will become Spuffy, there is so much to say first. And we need to save Dawnie, after all that's the reason he's home - isn't it?????
