Another great chapter! Will Buffy be showering in the basement anytime soon? and what trouble are they getting into when they start investigating the auctions. Must read more.

Poor Spike. He's so pathetic even Buffy can't take it.
Yep, pretty downtrodden vamp here.

This story keeps getting better and better. Sad that I only have one more chapter left to go on the current update. I really do like this one.
Thank you! There will be more on Monday - not long now. Am really pleased that you are enjoying.

*bounces* YAY! Update! I love this story, can't wait for the next chapter!
*grins* Look at you with the bouncy! Glad you didn't have to wait too long for more!

Awesome chapter again! I'm really enjoying this story. I look forward to Monday.
Thank you! Me happy and will do my best for Monday.

*Squeal* I like seeing my name up there! LOL. I loved re-reading this chapter - Tara is such a sweetheart in this fic and you're probably going to get sick of me saying how much I LOVE that she and Buffy are good friends. You did an awesome job of getting inside Spike's thoughts and I found Buffy's discomfort slightly amusing. They're both (Buffy and Spike) completely different people/(vampire) now and it's like they have to get to know each other all over again. Excellent chapter!
Hey, Tigger! As usual you flatter - keep it coming and see me blush! Or not...'cos distance and all that! Your help is invaluable and greatly appreciated. More Anarchy soon please! *hugs* xxx

Gripping. That's the best one word description I have for this WIP. your in depth descriptions are both horrifying and fascinating at once. I just wish the updates were not always a week apart. It's like having to wait on the weekly eps. :)
Morrigan, thank you! Am glad you're gripped - not painfully, I trust! - and am sorry that it takes me so long to update. Not the fastest on the keyboard (and the thinking in between takes even longer!). But look at all the other lovely fic you get to read in between on BSV!

An excellent chapter. I like Buffy's concern for Spike, her kindness toward him, and the threat of the W&H agent. Well done.
Thank you! Am so pleased you are enjoying - especially that you like Buffy. Just hope she remembers that the road to hell is just overloaded with good intentions! W&H? Mmmm... nasty rats!

Fantastic chapter!!! I love Buffy's reaction to him and god, poor Spike!! Did someone accuse you of not crediting a challenge? I'm sorry if that happened! I didn't even know about that challenge either until JL started it (I tend to stay away from the challenge page, it's too damn tempting!) So if I'm the 'accuser', since I didn't know about the challenge either, it'd be kinda hard for me to think that you didn't give the proper credit, LOL. Plus, you started this story first, right? Lookding forward to reading more and why was my entire focus on that damn cock ring? I've got to get my mind out of the gutter, dammit...
Thank you, Stacy! I am chuffed you are enjoying. The challenge has been mentioned (not by you, luv) and thought it better to bung something on chpater rather than keep making individual responses. Having looked at the challenge I can totally see why the assumption.
Oh, you noticed the cock ring? Good! No one else seems to have! Except Spike that it! Rapidly joining your mind in the gutter. LOL

Exellent update really love it. In many ways, Buffy and Spike are completely different from the people they used to be. Spikes had a horrible time and it's changed him but so has Buffy. The way Spike loves I bet he would have preferred to suffer what he has, than to lose his loved ones like Buffy. They have a lot of common ground, they just need to realise it. I hope along the way they find a way to stop the auctions.. The whole concept has the stench of W&H all over it, I can't help but think they're in cahoots with the initiative. Maybe.
Thank you, jane! Consider this - if the show we watched was like this fic - would you have watched it? I wouldn't have, far too miserable and sordid. So, yeah, they are far different - because of the differing experiences - than the canon characters would have been at the same stage. Spike would be ... who knows and Buffy would be in Italy dancing with her back to us. And I applaud you for being nice to Buffy and seeing her suffering too! W&H are always in cahoots with evil - just gotta decide where it is! Am glad you reviewed - you've made me look at it afresh (I likes!). BFN

Great Chapter. Can't wait to read more. Looking forward to reading the rest of this story.
You have a devoted reader here to read the rest of the story.
Bernardette, you are so sweet! I think this will be rambling on for a while and have others in the pipeline. I have a little fic that I wrote for Schez's birthday on my LJ - but completely different theme. You might like - or not. Hope to see you again next post. BFN

Great story, I also read the other story with similar contents but yours is so much better and more interesting. I love it. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next chapter.
Thank you, Corina! Keep reading both 'cos I think we're off in different directions (crikey! I hope we are!). Am really pleased you are liking it and hope it continues.

Loving this story, have reviewed alrady but had a blonde moment and somehow put it on ch 1. duh!
LOL. Thanks for your kind words - and two reviews gets you a gold star!

LOVE IT! Poor Spike, so emotionally damaged from all that's happened to him. Now he's finally safe and he doesn't know whether or not to trust it. Can't wait to see what happens when they reach home.
Why, thank you! I wouldn't be too quick to trust if I were in his...ah, he ain't got no shoes yet! My bad! Glad you're enjoying and hope you'll be back for more - when they get home.
01/23/2006 08:39 pm
Oh my God....poor Spike he's so freaked out...at least Buffy is being nice to him...I hope she keeps it up because she can be a jerk sometimes...lol...wow i can't believe I have to wait a whole week for more of this incredible story!!!! :( This is awesome
LOL! Why does no one trust Buffy? Where is the love? Is Spike gonna be nice to her? He can be a jerk too, you know! *runs off to hide from Spike protectors*
Am so glad you're enjoying and will really try to have more up on Monday next.
01/23/2006 07:17 pm
damn good fic and ya know you could update friday instead *grins*
LOL! I don't s'pose anyone has ever told you that you're incorrigible! Thanks for your kind words and I will try to please - but would hate to disappoint with a broken pledge. *grins right back at ya*

Poor Spike! I'm so glad Buffy's being gentle with him.
Angel runs Wolfram and Hart, eh? Would this be a good Angel, or Angelus? That was very scary to have someone from W & H interested in buying him.
Can't wait for Giles' reaction about how much Buffy spent. LOL
Ooh, Giles! Yes, well, um... that should prove interesting! Angel or Angelus, let me think - I'm going for Angel - maybe! Thanks for reviewing and hope you continue to enjoy.

Damn, I wanted to wait until tomorrow to read this, but I couldn't. Now I have to wait a week or more? I'm gonna cry. I love this story. It makes me want to hug Spike and tell him its gonna be alright lol. You're doing such a great job. I read another story that uses this challenge, but this one is my favorite. Good for you ;) I hope you'll manage to update monday.
Thank you, isabel! I'm very happy to hear that you are enjoying. There is a queue forming to give comfort to Spike (I might have to pull a few away to get near him myself!).
I will have to make it clear in the AN for the next chapter that this fic is NOT in response to a challenge. It would have been extremely remiss of me not to have given that credit and I wasn't even aware it existed until I had started to post. This is part of a loose set of four Initiative/Spike-centric fics I have in various stages of readiness. The coincidence is there but this is something I developed myself.
Will do my best to update Monday - traffic and travel willing.
