I love this chapter.  It is so unusual to actually see a chunk of time dedicated to exploring the real personal relationship that Buffy/Spike could have, how they would talk to each other, what about, their developing dynamic/connection etc.  Excellently well done.

You know, I think I love you a little bit, just for making Buffy call Spike "the most gorgeous bloody hunk of man-flesh to ever walk the planet" in one sentence and tell him to get over himself in the next one. That was brilliant beyond words. :) Not to mention the whole "I want to get to know you" thing. Looks like our girl finally woke up. Also, Spike and poetry are right there on my list of favourite Buffy things. Not to mention Spike and sexy poetry.

Great, great chapter.

wonderful to have poetry used in stories and the history info good to have as well-

Look forward to reading all the books at once - hope that all are completed now.
All the "books" are complete. However, I have one more chapter of my beta's birthday fic to post on LJ and at my own site, which is set in the same 'verse about five years on. It should be posted tomorrow, though, so by the time you finish the rest of the series, if I haven't got around to posting it here, you'll find it at http://www.he-s-no-angel.net/9TI/TI1T.htm.

I'm glad you're enjoying the series second time atound. Thanks!

Ok I am confused in the kitchen Spike was loving the way his shirt came just to her bum, then in the room you had Spike peeling off her skin tight jean.

I see they never got their phone call to LA.
That would be him peeling off his skin-tight jeans, at least in the version I'm reading... Sometimes when I spot typos I'll update it on my own site, but I don't trawl round all the archives. Either that or you've just misread it.

Thanks, honey. Had me going for a while.

Love that she wants to get to know him as a person, that's the only way to build a strong foundation beneath their relationship. I almost forgot about Angel and the fit he's going to put up. Eveything Spike said was true, he will actjust like that if they're not very careful. This feels so right for them, thank you making this so wonderful for them. Spike so deserves it. Great read.
Thank you, honey!

Yeah, Spike is capable of loving so deeply he always deserved someone who could offer the same in return.

that was lovely...so sweet and open and honest..i loved their talk, how she reassured him...very beautifully done :)
Thank you!

Sometimes Buffy's not very good at the talking thing, but when she gets it right she makes up for it.

I love this chapter - this line made me giggle so hard - "If you must know Sarky Spike went off looking for his soul-mate Bitchy Buffy, so when you run across one of them I'm fairly certain the other'll be close by."

I loved the poetry bit and Buffy's rant about letting himself go. spike's fears were excellant done - great chapter!
Hee! Thanks!

Yep, it's a pretty fair bet that when Bitchy Buffy is around Sarky Spike will be nearby.

The poetry gave me a chance to bring out some faves... and Spike had good reason for holding back, as you have no doubt found out.

Thanks again!

Spiek reciting poetry to Buffy like that was sooooo sweet. It was romantic in the truest sense. {melts}
Thanks! It gives Spike a chance to prove that there's sides to him that she hasn't seen. I'm glad you liked it.

William the poet is romancing Buffy the Vampyre Slayer. I worry about the trip to LA. Maybe it would help if she makes sure he has some Slayer blood in him before any fight ensues. Love this story and hope for more soon.
There's a lot more of the story. It's just being transferred to the new 'verse a bit at a time by the wonderful alwaysjbj so that I can keep working on finishing off the fifth book and complete the series (hopefully Jan or Feb). If you can't wait you can always check out http://www.he-s-no-angel.net
