Chapter 4         
You do realize this needs a third act right?  After all, didn't the nightmare world end?  wouldn't she revert to human?  Just saying...

Chapter 4         
Loved the sequel and I am going to imagine that it was Buffy who changed Spike and not the other way around -

Enjoyed reading your work.

So good! More please? :-)

Chapter 4         
We've gone off the angst-o-meter charts here! Parting is such sweet sorrow, indeed. A fitting sequel to "Demon Dreams".

Really enjoy how you can take the reader from weepy to amused by the snarkiness that is Spike in two seconds flat.

As always, I'm amazed at how much plot, feeling and character development you manage to put into a small number of chapters. Well done!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed; I debated 'waking' Buffy up, but I like her as a vampire. She's all conflicted, and relying on Spike. I like that :) I'm so happy you liked my snarky Spike - that's how I love him! And thanks so much for your very kind and overwhelming comments. I'm very, very grateful.

Awwww, really liked it. Hated that she had to leave everybody though.
Thank you; but don't worry - I plan more adventures for vamped Buffy and Spike, so hopefully they'll do more to amuse you. Thanks again.

Chapter 4         
What a way to end this. She'll be as jealous of her as Spike was of Angel. I hope you might write a one-shot one day and continue their adventure and if they do meet up with Dru. Will Buffy ever feed or will she have Spikes unlife turned up side down. Great way to end an evening, thanks for sharing this fun sequel.
*grins* I know - I'm evil :) I've had a couple - heck, I've had lots! - of requests for more about their adventures so I will write one, but probably not for a couple of months because I'm fully committed fic-wise. I'll post here when I'm done so I hope you look out for it. So very pleased you enjoyed and thanks for your kind reviews - that you take the time to write them makes me feel so honoured. Thank you.

very good read, thank you. could be a very long trip as tells buffy about dru.
Thank you. Yes, I think he'll have a lot of explaining to do. So glad you enjoyed.

Chapter 4         
Great story! I'd definitely be interested in seeing more... *hint hint* lol :D
Thank you :) I loved writing it, I think there are more stories to tell, so I'd better get writing, huh? *grins*

Chapter 4         
"We’re doing nothing but pre-packed meals now. Of the strictly non-human variety, excepting for high days and holidays, obviously.”
LOL

Good job with Joyce...you AND Spike.

So they head off into the sunset so to speak on a slow boat to China (or wherever)....romantic and nice.

I'd love a follow up after she learns to control herself (or the nightmare ends if that's the way it plays) but loved the story as is if you don't revisit.

Good story.

Kathleen
Thanks Kathleen, I had great fun writing this story and I'm pleased you liked it. I did think it would end here, but as I posted I wondered if people would like a sequel dealing with some vampire shenanigans :) Supposed I'd better go and write.

Chapter 4         
ROFL - oh, yeah, it could be a long voyage...
Great little story - I'm not usually crazy about vamp Buffy fics, but this was great fun - sad when it needed to be sad, hot when it needed to be hot and funny when it needed to be funny.
Thanks so much. Your opinion means a lot to me and I'm so glad you liked it. I do love a snarky Spike and it was great fun to play around with Season 1.

Chapter 4         
Oooh, that was great!! I'm also hoping that there'll be a sequel of sorts because I'd love to see what adventures these two would have, especially after Spike answers that final question. *evil smirk* Loved this!!
I just had to have Buffy question him about Drusilla :) Thanks for reading and reviewing and I think there will be a sequel. As I was writing the final lines, it occurred to me there would be more to tell, but I thought I'd lay it out there first to see what people think. Why can't I ever write a one-shot? Thanks again.

Chapter 3         
Now to break poor Joyces heart. It might be easier if she'd known about vampires and Buffy's calling. Enough Angel bashing to make me happy. One more to go, thanks SD, love this rewrite.
Yeah, Joyce isn't going to be happy. And Angel-bashing - I didn't want him ridiculed as such, just under no illusion that Buffy isn't his and never will be. So glad you enjoyed and hope you like the ending. Thank you.

06/12/2007 02:48 pm
Chapter 3         
I so enjoyed Angel being taken down a peg or eight. Buffy might be uncertain, but she's adjusting rapidly.
It was fun to write, thanks so much. Final chapter is now up and I hope you like the ending.

06/11/2007 05:02 pm
Chapter 3         
And maybe being a vampire was kinda like being in a fraternity or the Shriners or something.
LOL you mean the Shriners AREN'T vampires???????

Love the update. Wonder how it will alal play out when the nightmare is over. My guess is Buffy won't want to go back to hamburger now that she's had steak.

Kathleen
*grins* I think you'll find our girl is purely on a Spike diet from now on - as she should be :) Final chapter now up, hope you enjoy and thank you Kathleen.

06/11/2007 12:09 pm
Chapter 3         
OH that was sad at the end, but Angel got a good kicking.

For some reason I feel they won't go far right now, but then again you never know.
I know - I think Angel had to find out there was no hope. The final chapter is now posted; hope you like the ending. :)

Chapter 3         
beautiful read, thank you. and let me add hilarious with line like "... pig’s blood tastes nothing like pork chops.”
Thank you, final chapter is now up. The credit for that line goes to Lou, my beta. She's such a star, I don't think I could write without her :)

Oh no, now throw Angel into the mix...*claps* I can't wait.
*grins* Yep, have to get the old broodmeister in there. Hope you like how I deal with him. Thanks!

Chapter 2         
Fantastic! I can so picture it happening this way. Can't wait to see if Angel enters the mix
Oh, he's here. Next chapter is up now and Angel's making a grand entrance. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

06/03/2007 05:14 pm
Chapter 2         
Oh I'm gonna love the Angel/VampBuffy meeting, especially with Spike to make things worse.
Hee! Well, Chapter 3's up now so I hope you enjoy. *bites nails* Thanks so much.

Interesting start.
Thank you. Hope you like how it ends.

Chapter 2         
excellent read, thank you. should be entertaining to watch angel mess up everything.
Thanks, Angel will try his best, won't he? Hope you like what comes next.

06/03/2007 12:51 am
Chapter 2         
Whoa! Lots of good stuff here - love the fact that Buffy is having to fight her new nature - and can't wait to see how she reacts to finding out that Spike is known for killing slayers...I feel sorry for everybody ATM (okay,maybe not so much for Xander...)
Thanks so much! Well, she won't find out much about Spike because at the moment, Giles doesn't know much about him other than his lineage and the fact that he's known as being vicious. But there will be fun and games...*hugs*

06/02/2007 05:47 pm
Chapter 2         
Oh that is great, I was wondering if Angel was going to be showing up before they leave.

I wonder what they will all say about Spike and if Angel shows up what he will do about Spike.

More please.
Glad you're enjoying :) Yes, Angel's on his way. There'll be a 'confrontation' - I thoroughly enjoyed writing it. More very soon and thanks !

Great chapter!!! The confrontation between Spuffy and the Scoobies was heartbreaking, and I totally forgot that Angel doesn't know about Buffy!! OMG!! Can't wait to find out what he does!!
Hee! Yep, I was writing and suddenly thought...'ANGEL!!!'. Hope you like how I deal with it, and thanks for your kind words. Next chapter up next week once I've fiddled it to death :)

Thank you - I intend to! So glad you're enjoying this tale :)

Chapter 1         
No the best way to start the introductions, is it! She has him buggered now, doesn't she and poor Buffy's not got a clue. Well this should be interesting to see if they leave of not. I like this challenge, it's so much fun, thanks.
Yep, it's a tester alright! Thanks again for reading - so glad you're enjoying. It was a blast writing it, possibly my favourite short fic to date. :)

Chapter 1         
Poor Buffy - she's going to make a lousy vampire.
Yep, she's not got the bloodlust going has she? Not yet anyway...Thanks for reading and reviewing.

OH I can't see what will happen next, will they take her from Spike or leave her be.

Chapter 1         
Fantastic story! Love the possessive, animalistic side of Spike, which is coupled with his unnerving feelings towards Vamp Buffy!
Thanks Fia; I tried to keep snarky S1 Spike while showing some softer sides. Glad you've enjoyed and I'll be putting more up in a couple of days. Thanks again.
