Wheee!  The shoe is on the other foot.  Really liked this chapter!  But I'm getting evil vibes off Jacob.  Wonder why?

You know, normally I really don't like holiday fics, but this one has just grabbed me and ripped me to pieces and glued those pieces to the screen. I can't look away, and now I'm itching and itching for more.

Really like this story. And I'm glad that Spike allowed himself a little bit of enjoyment instead of going back to just being Buffy's lost puppy. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.
That's some lovely imagery there... *peels TC bits off computer screen*

I'm glad you're enjoying it. The holiday thing is really sort of just background. In fact, everything seems to be just background, except for the relationship stuff (including what was supposed to be the plot, lol). Oh, well. I guess the story knows where it wants to go. :)

You do great Scoobies, but I think the real sign of how talented you are is that Jacob is so interesting. So often in fanfic, the OCs are just paper dolls used to further the plot. Jacob, on the other hand, is interesting in his own right.
Wow, thanks! One of the reasons I've never attempted original fiction is because I don't think I'm good at creating characters, so I'm so happy to hear that Jacob is working for you. :)

Would it make me a bad person if I was glad that Buffy's in pain? Sorry, great chapter!!!
Hmm... maybe a little bit? :) Thanks for the review!

I like it very much. Now Buffy will understand what Spike goes through when she's with Jacob!
Yep, I think she understands all too well. Thanks for the review!

Hah!! Good... !

Just what Spike needs - a Drusilla looky likey to remind Buffy she wasn't always the love of his life...

You will let Susan massage his ego for a while longer, won't you? I have a totally unworthy urge to see Buffy lose many more dinners. *is evol*
I never really thought of Susan as a Drusilla look-alike. I think it's more that she's someone completely different for Spike.

And yes, you are evol! :)

OH Buffy found out about Spike and Susan, I wonder what she will do about it. I hope it will get them together soon.
Guess we'll have to wait and see...

I have to say, that in this chapter Susan earned a few points. She was very nice to Spike, she told him he's not a freak and that Buffy's an idiot - and who doesn't agree with that? I'm actually starting to like her so I hope that she's really not interested in serious relationship with him, 'cos suddenly I don't wanna see her hurt.

And Buffy? "Somehow, the idea of Spike dating someone else had never occurred to her." Oh, it's so like her.

Waiting for the next update!
Yay! Even though I seem to mostly use my OCs as wedges to drive apart the Spuffy, pretty much universally making them objects of hate, I do actually like them. And I like when other people like them. :) Thanks for the review!

And is starts...

Poor Buff. Poor Jacob too.
Thanks for the review!

What a great story (although I'm actively scrubbing mental pictures from my brain as I write.) My heart goes out to both - Spike because it seems he's given up and Buffy because she's such an emotional mess. I feel sadder for her though because, whether or not she knows yet that she wants him, discovering that the man who claimed to love her has been having sex with her coworker for awhile now is going to send her fragile self-concept plummeting. If that were me, I be high-tailing it to Jacob for serious validation. I'm anxious to see how you will get them through this. And will I have to skim through many scenes to come? Sorry... babbling...
Heh, thanks. Probably not too many brain-scrubbing scenes after this. :) Though you're not wrong about Buffy...

12/12/2007 12:39 pm
I am LOVING this fic. More soon please?
Thanks! And since it's getting written pretty easily, I can say yes, more soon. :)

“You’re not the freak she makes you think you are,” Susan said, sitting back and sliding down onto his hardened cock. Spike closed his eyes, and a moan escaped his lips as she began to ride him, running her hands over his chest. “Girl doesn’t know what normal is.” She gasped as Spike clutched her hips and arched up into her. “And thank God for that.”

Love that!

it’s like Attack of the Demented Elves around here.”

Love this more.

Ewww, vomit, Buffy and Jacob are so sappy. :P

Oh! YES! She just found out, and it made her sick! In the "I don't want it to be true way"! Ha, ha, payback's a bitch....

(That wasn't very nice of me, was it...well, serves her right for all the yo-yo-ing she did to Spike.)


That wasn't very nice, but since you were so nice about the story, I'll let it go. :) Glad you liked it!

And she's so jealous she threw up. Yes!

Not to mention she's learning how much she needs his help.
Hehe, yep. Thanks for the review!

My Christmas spirit was starting to die an early death, but you managed to resuscitate it with a few demented elves, lots of humor and quite a bit of laughter (on my part). And you made Buffy wretch with jealousy. All in the same chapter. Bloody amazing!
Hee, I'm glad to hear it. No death of Christmas spirit here! Thanks for the review!

12/12/2007 05:43 am
Oh yeah......sick Buffy, how appropriate. See how it feels bitca! Doesn't want him (or so she says) but wants him to want only her.... HUH. YAY Susan who isn't fooling herself but is performing valuable service to Spike in more ways than just the horizontal tango.

Love the decorating scene. Spike fits in so well and Buffy didn't even think to invite Jacob over at all...that says something she should stumble over.

Kathleen
Yeah, I think Spike could benefit from a woman who at least makes him feel appreciated, if not loved. And yeah... Buffy should think about that one. Funny how Jacob keeps trying to get into the family (being nice to Dawn, even though she's a brat to him), and Buffy just completely left him out.

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it.

Great chapter; totally love the use of the Twelve Pains of Christmas; that's an awesome song! And I'm wondering if Susan isn't the evil one; NO ONE is THAT understanding!!! LOL! Please update again soon; can't wait to see how Buffy deals with her jealousy!
Thanks! I love that song. :) Is Susan evil? Well, we'll have to see... although I don't think she needs to be all that understanding if all she's looking for is sex. She knows it's not going to end with love and puppies, and she doesn't want it to. Which is a good thing, because I don't think Buffy would let it happen... :)

Now Buffy knows how Spike feels. And she was going to let Spike live with her while she dated the other guy too. She's getting what she deserves and then some. How convenient for her to get a boyfriend and still have Spike too. How dare Spike get a life that doesn't revolve around her.
Yeah, living together would never have worked out, and Spike knew that right away. I think Buffy is so used to having Spike as a fixture in her life that she doesn't feel like she needs to question their relationship until something like this happens.
