I'm not saying that Buffy is being mean or maybe I'm just a little. LOL I just can't stand women who can't make a decision about who they want to be with especially if one of the men really loves her completely like the way Spike does with Buffy. They are just playing with a someone emotions and I just can't stand it. That is what I'm afraid that I'm going to see from this Buffy. I'm a Spuffy but there were times when I just wanted Spike to forget Buffy because she isn't worth all the pain. I almost stopped being a spuffy fan when they had Buffy kissed Angel at the end of season 7 right after she just finished telling Spike that he didn't have to be scared because she was there with him. That made me really dislike Buffy. I know that Spike loves with his whole being and that is one of the things that probably makes his character so popular. The way Spike loves is amazing and probably humans can learn a little something from Spike on how to love. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to see Spike stand up for himself every once in a while. That I don't want to see Spike tell Buffy off if she just keeps playing with his feelings and emotions. But yeah, the way Spike loves is one of the many reasons why Spike is my favorite character from the show. So, I can't but feel that Spike should forget Buffy at times when she is playing with his emotions over and over again. Spike deserves more than that. Buffy can have Thomas and I will take Spike. Spike is the superior vampire in every way. LOL

Author's Response: Hi Spikey, I'm a Spike fan pure and simple. I agree Buffy was a cow to him - in fact she was pretty much a cow to everybody in the show at some point or other! LOL! I could understand the kiss with Angel, though. But agree Spike was a bit of a wuss not to tell her where to go! LOL! Maybe you should read my all human Treading Water, cos Spike is definately not chasing after her in that one! LOL! In most of my storie, she has to convince him! Not the other way around. I just thought the contrast between a vampire who could go out in the day and one that was confined to the shadows was an interesting premise to work with. And it gave dawnofme the opportunity to do the lovely banner. I like to try to find original plots to write - not easy in a fandom as old and large as this one. :-)

So adorable their banter. Glad she's giving him a chance. Update soon.

Author's Response: Thank you very much for letting me know you enjoyed the dialogue. : )

I like Thomas and all, but I still hope you realize this is a SPUFFY site. Either way, wherever she is, and whoever she's with at the end, I think I'm going to enjoy the journey as you lead us there.

Author's Response: The site rules don't state they have to be together in a relationship, but having said that, I don't think you should be too worried about who she will pick ;) I hope you do enjoy the journey.

Poor Spike. And a love rash? That kind of sucks. What happens if Thomas falls in love? That's almost worse than angels curse! Really want to see where this goes. Update soon.

Author's Response: Yes, Thomas is indeed cursed by true love causing him physical pain. So if he can still kiss Buffy.... :) More will be up next week.

I don't like Thomas. So please kill him or send him away before something happens between him and Buffy. If something happens, I won't like the story. I want to see Buffy and Spike together, not Buffy with someone else.

Author's Response: I'm sorry that you don't like Thomas. For me, he is a great character. I certainly won't kill him off. Buffy/other is clearly warned. The summary lets you know that there are two players for her affections, and really the fact it's on this site probably gives away who Buffy chooses, doesn't it? : )

Terrific! Not at all what I expected from a crossover. Very well done.

Author's Response: Thank you - sorry for keeping you waiting for more. Will post again soon.

Dang, that Thomas and his attraction.

Spike and Buffy both are confused about their attraction to each other. Thomas just makes it even more difficult.

Spike will be so upset when he finds out that Buffy and Thomas went to the beach. A day in the sun with her was something that Spike could never have.

Can't wait to read about the three of them finding out about each other. Angst will be off the charts.

Author's Response: He's just so bloody handsome even if he didn't have the old come hither vibe going on! LOL What will Spike make of their day out?

And through all this, I can only feel bad for poor Spike. Left alone to get hard cuz of vamp vibes and have no one that matters. And now, the one that matters is off running with the vibey vamp. Interesting indeed. Wonder what shall happen next. Update soon.

Author's Response: Spike isn't going to be happy. How can he compete with Thomas?

Of course, all there is is Buffy. Shall be interesting when Thomas and Buffy finally figure out some things about each other. Gotta love the lav moment with Xander. Larry would be so proud. :) Update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to comment. :D

i love this storty! and im so glad that spike didnt sleep with that girl!

Author's Response: I don't think poor ole Spike was that pleased about it! LOL! Thanks for letting me know you're enjoying the story.

Looking forward to see what happens when Thomas figures out that the thing plaguing Spike is the same little blond he entertained that afternoon. Update soon. Sides, I want to see what happened with Xander. :)

Author's Response: Thank you for letting me know you're enjoying it. Sorry for the delay in updating - will be updating today! :D

I love your stories. This one is one that I might have to pass. I'm not much of a fan where Spike has to compete for Buffy's affections against another guy. I have seen that enough of the show. I don't really want to read that in my fanfiction. I must admit that I don't mind Buffy having to fight or having to earn Spike's affections. I especially love stories where Buffy is in denial and then realizes she has made a mistake by letting Spike go and not giving him a chance. Then she has to earn back Spike's trust. Those are probably my favorites. Reading where Buffy is with another guy and Spike having to watch her be with another guy is not something that I think I would like especially if that other guy is a vampire. I think Buffy being with two vampires first Angel and then Spike is enough. Adding another vampire to Buffy's list it just becomes redundant in my opinion.

Author's Response: If you love my stories then you know how I usually write Spike and Buffy. The whole point of this story is that Buffy is unaware of Spike's love for her and when Thomas comes to town, things happen to all three characters that make them realise things they didn't know before and to face up to how these things are going to affect them. I love the character of Thomas very much, and in my opinion you can never have too many vampires! LOL! Wait until it's complete if you're unsure. Or opt not to read. Your choice. I'm writing it for one of my betas, seapealsh, who loves Thomas and I decided to share it with others of the same mind.

Interesting fellow this Thomas. Gotta say I'm not quite sure what the story of the Dresden Files is, but it would likely explain why our other vamp is all kinds of sun bound. Hope to hear a bit more of an explanation of that in future chapter. Not to mention how this Buffy reacts to two vampire suitors. Update soon.

Author's Response: In the Dresden files there are different types of vampires - referred to as Courts. Thomas is white court and the type that passes most easily for human. I've tried to include how he differs from Spike in the following chapters. Let me know if you need more back story on him. :)
