Hey, babe, someone was asking me how this fic was coming, on another site, so I'm just wondering how you're doing....RL been crazy? *hugs*

Finally got a chance to read this chap.

Excellent fight scene...I don't think Angelus will underestimate our boy again. Darla may prove to be a more dangerous enemy than Angelus, though.

Excellent!

excellent read, thank you. bonus points for spike showing angel that he is not in control.

Spike just keeps getting angrier and cockier--fortunately he has the luck and the determination to pull it off. And Darla seems to have taught him that occasionally a strategic retreat is in order.

wow, I still love your story sweetie :) Hope you can update soon *hugs*

This just gets better and better. LOVE strong Spike. The fight scene was spectacular....note perfect! Just enough detail to be visual without sounding like a "how to" manual for fistacuffs. Hard to do and my hat's off to you, you excelled.

Love Spike staking his territory with Dru and not taking any shite off of Darla OR Angelus. Nice he noticed Angelus' arrousal and learned something important from that in dealing with his grand sire.

Excellent on all counts. This is a masterwork deserving all awards now and in future.

Awesome.....When Spike threw Angelus out of the window....I wanted to erect statues in your honor.

I see what you mean about writing Angelus--I haven't had so much fun reading him in ages! Of course, that might have something to do with the total thrashing Spike was giving him. Love it, cannot wait for another update!

I can't see Angelus respecting anyone enough to learn from them. On the other hand, Spike's willingness to learn from the Slayer is making him a more powerful warrior. The fight scene was just wonderful...you made it look easy, and boy is that hard. Like a dance performance where the audience only sees the magic, not the hours of work that made it possible. Loved, loved, loved it!

Beautifully written fight scene. Believable and easy to visualize.
How did Spike and Dru get away? I'd think it would be as difficult for them to get far as it was for Darla to find Angelus and get him inside before they met a dusty sunbright end.

This was a terrific chapter -- and one of the best fight scenes I've read. Spike is really coming into his own. Fabulous story.

This was wonderful. I just loved getting to see Spike beat Angelus in a fight, and without letting his demon show. It just shows that Spike has more control over himself.
Great update and I'm always looking forward to more. :)

wow what a fantastic update! I love how you write Spike - especially when the part when Spike was intoxicated with the power he had over his grandsire... and yet he chose not to act on it. Just goes to show you that Spike is a much better man than Angel. (although I'm pretty sure I don't need to convince anyone on here, haha) And just like everyone else on here, I love the tenderness between Spike and Dru. Simply perfect!

Thanks for the knock down drag out between Spike and Angelus...a Spike won! Just loved it, thanks, it was fantastic! Love this can't wait for them to find each other again and for him to realise he's going to be a father. Thanks for another update. Your's and Gillypod's are the only ones I've read since I've been out of the hospital, that's how much I love it. Thank you so much for posting, can't wait for more.

Wonderfully written fight scene! Ah, revenge is sweet. You could tell that Spike was savoring his.

My favorite line...
*He folded his arms behind his head and grinned wryly. “I’ve got the new Slayer. All wrapped up pretty and waiting for us.”*

I can just see Spike doing this and I love him all snarky, so damn sexy. I'm liking the evolving of his and Dru's relationship. Your doing a fine job in the development of it. It's necessary for Spike in becoming who he is. I defy anyone to flame you about the telling. *Glares hard at those who try*

The whole bit with Darla there in the tub with Dru and him just making himself at home and then him preventing her from leaving was just priceless. I could see her reaction so clearly it made me smile. Great job hun, keep it up!

another excellent chapter. Thank you so much for writing more of this wonderful story.

OMG, that was freakin' fabulous!!!!!!!!! Like the best scene in a movie. You even described the hold well that Spike had on Angelus on the floor! Girl, you really outdid yourself, and I can't *wait* for the next chapter. Spike rules!!!

Yay!! *claps* Lovely update. The fight scene was great, and really showed off how much Spike has learned from fighting a Slayer. (Although, I will admit, at the phrase "intercourse with the Slayer" I had dirty thoughts. :)) Spike and Dru were very sweet together - and even though part of me goes, "But... but... Elizabeth!" I know he's gotta have strong feelings for Dru, in order to end up the Spike we know. And I'm eager to see what happens with this new Slayer....

Oh, VERY well done! Lol. That was a beautiful revenge. I love it. And I love the growing tenderness between Spike and Dru.

Great fight scene and worth waiting for.

sweet. Angelus got what he had coming to him. He deserved everything Spike gave and more.
