Please keep posting! Feels like I have been waiting forever for the next chapter in this amazing story! I really like the feeling you give the characters and would hate to see such a wonderful piece of story go to waste and be left unfinished.... love from sweden
Fear not, Emma! The story is not forgotten. I've just been working long hours so I've been very sleeeepy after work and haven't had the energy to write. Weekends have been busy with home improvement stuff, so I haven't had time, but I'm personally dying to write what happens next, so I will try to get a chapter up the first week in November. Thanks so much for your support!

And the PLOT thickens. The watchers council!! Sputter- what is going on! Very exciting twist. I have been reading as chs are posted but loose the details - plan to read thru again when all is completed. Still don't understand why this slayer group couldn't utilize Angel's advice and expertise since he lived in the same area. I must keep reading. Thanks!

Ah. Angel doesn't have so much expertise any more. I think it's the chapter London Time, where Buffy and Willow are discussing Angel being a bit player since the batttle in L.A. where he sent his whole crew to their deaths in his vane attempt to take down the Black Thorn. Also, as was alluded to in Angel the Series when Andrew came with a horde of Slayers to take away the rogue Slayer, Dana, Angel and his crew had very little say in the matter. The Watchers Coucil has become a much more formidable force than one lonely vampire with a soul. They have more useful sources, and he doesn't have a reputation with the Council as being a player. They use him when it occurs to him, as it did before the battle with the Dragvloks, but he's harldy indispensable. This is also consistent with Joss' own Season 8 universe where the world and the Council and the Slayers moved on without him.
I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Another great chapter! I am excited about the new evil from within...or whatever it turns out to be. (I never liked the Watcher's Council. It would be just like one of the old guard to raise up their children to be Slayer haters and try to snatch back the power. Grrr.) However you decide to go with it, this is a very promising start. And we haven't even seen the return of the Penis Lady, yet!
Spike going psycho and then giving yet another Slayer a pep talk is just great. Good ol' Clem, trying to talk him into ratcheting down the destruction. With eggs, no less.
I just hope all these people telling Spike that Buffy's into him doesn't end up queering the deal...their luck is not so much, romantically.

Luck is for losers! :-)
Glad you liked Spike going psycho. I thought it was a fairly realistic sentiment for him to have at this stage in the game. It's been way too long for Angel to still be mucking up the works and getting from Buffy as much as Spike thought he'd been given. Things were finally starting to swing Spike's way, you know?
Clem, I just love, so I'm thrilled that people are digging him too the way I'm writing him.
Thanks so much for reviewing. :-)

I swear maybe those two should consider never speaking to each other out loud again. Maybe writing things down would be better. She never can say exactly what she means and when she flubs it Spike gets pissed. Then it takes forever for them to get on the same page. Very annoying.
Things are looking up now, no? Spike hasn't been angry at anything Buffy's said, but at what he thinks she's done . They've only had the one fight and it ended with Shakespeare and smiles! Now Spike thinks she's coming back for him, and she's thinking about a future where Spike shows Benji his fangs. Sounds like the beginning of something special to me. ;-)
Thanks for reviewing. :-)

Blimey, I so didn't expect that, this stories got layers upon layers and gotta admit, my heads spinning. I suppose like most people I took the Dravlok attacks at face value. The Slayers attacked them, so they wanted revenge. I didn't even consider that there could be some type of Machiavellian, or should that be Willowavellian, plot behind it. I'm gonna stop speculating about what may happen, I'm obviously completely out of my depth. But I must say love how this fics developing.
Spike and Clem were so funny, great line about the eggs and milk, I think Clem could do good work for the UN. I'm relieved Spike knows the truth about Sonny and Angel, actually felt sorry for her in this chapter.
As usual I cant wait for more.. brilliant update.
"I think Clem could do good work for the UN." LOL He *is* great, isn't he?
Yeah, bloody layers. They're flattening me here! That's the problem with trying to create a world. There's never just one thing happening in a real world, you know?
I'm glad it's still fun, though dizzyng! Thanks for reviewing again, Jane. :-)

What a roller-coaster ride in one segment! But the 'landing' was perfect - thanks!
Thank you! Someone else described it as a rollercoaster. I had no idea it would read that way. I'm so glad you liked it. :-) :-) :-)

I was very excited to see a new chapter up! It was an excellent read...I didn't see that one coming at all....the discovery Buffy made...Yikes! A watcher. Or someone affiliated with the Council of Watchers'. How awful is that? ....... Also.....personally, I was kind of hoping Spike would burn down Angels' house, but with the interruption of Sonny, at least Spike knows the blood "donor" was definately not Buffy! The interaction with Clem was really funny, though for a minute there, I thought that some demons at the card game weren't going to make it out of there alive...and speaking of making it out alive, I hope Buffy doesn't find herself trapped. I can't wait for the next chapter, I'm really looking forward to what happens next!
Thanks! I really enjoyed writing Spike and Clem, so it's great that people enjoyed them. I'm surprised by the interest in the dreadlock guy. I think everyone forgot about him being at the Penis Lady's house when it burned down and then at Buffy's house to deliver the Dragvloks. Oh, and I like Milo and Lionel too much to have let Spike hurt them at the bar. ;-) Thanks again for the review!
