Please make more chapters!!!!
Author's Response: Well, I said I'd reply to all my reviews, so here I am. Although this is a little redundant now! Heehee All I can say is, I have! :-) Thanks for the request though, Slayer. Take care.

He's awake, good. But he feels guilty for not doing enough! Poor Spike always so insecure.
Author's Response: Hey Magnus, thanks very much for your comment. I know this is a little late, but still, I truly appreciate it. Thanks.

Title: Chapter 6
Spike's awake, yay! And double-yay that your muse popped in for a visit :D Their reactions and thoughts about Spike were so touching *sniffles* That's exactly the kind of thing I always wished we could see on the show - others caring for and appreciating Spike.
Buffy had some awesome revelations in this chapter! I especially loved how she realized she could've had a relationship with Spike, like her mom and sister had with him, if she hadn't listened to the Spike-haters and refused to let herself see him in a better light. She finally understands! Hallelujah! lol
There was so much to love about this chapter
Author's Response: Hi, PB! Thanks for your review, and sorry for the sniffles :-) Have some *HUGS* I'm glad you liked the reactions of people, and showing that Spike was appreciated. I think he deserved it! And I'm glad you liked my dabble in a little introspection on Buffy's part. It was about time, don't you think? I'm really pleased that you liked the chapter as a whole, and I promise, things will get better. Thanks for all your compliments and thoughts, it's really great to hear from you. Take care, PB. Thanks again. X

I think Spike is the one that is going to be hardest to convince. He's positive he failed on the tower and probably not inclined to believe Buffy wants anything to do with him.
Author's Response: Hi Ginar. I know I'm a little late with the responses, and we've moved on, but I want to take the time to say thank you for taking the time to leave me a review. As a first timer, I really appreciate them, and they really do help me. I like hearing peoples thoughts on my story. Thanks again, and take care. X

Haha! Good luck using PB as a scapegoat, never worked for me, but kudos for trying! And you're welcome for the help; you're doing great!! Best chapter yet! Ok, well ... the blood-letting one was ... errr ... yeah, ummm ... pretty good too, but 'Yay!' for Spike being awake and for Buffy teasing with him and at least *considering* him as relationship-material. :)
Really cannot wait for more! Tie your muse down and promise him whatever he wants to keep going. :P
Loved it, DH!
Author's Response: Hi P4S. Thanks for the compliment regarding the chapter, I'm glad you liked it. As for PB, I can dream, right? :-) I promise to try and stay on top of things, well, I'll do my best anyway. Thanks for your thoughts though, I really appreciate them, every time you leave me one. Thanks again, and take care. X

Aww thanks for the thanks in the End Notes! You're so sweet ;D
Yay that your muse has gotten back to work! :D I loved the bit where Buffy was comparing and contrasting Spike and Angel. So true!
I also loved that Buffy did some introspection, forcing herself to judge Spike by the way he treated her and her family and not dismiss the good things he'd done ^_^
Great chapter, hon! I'm looking forward to the next one! May the muse be with you :)
Author's Response: HI PB!! *hugs and more hugs* Nice to hear from you, thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I finally held my muse down and forced some work out of him!! About time Buffy did some thinking, and recognizing Spike for who he is, rather than what he is. So happy to hear from you, take care, thanks again for taking the time to review. X-x-x-x-X

The differences between Angel(us) and Spike are glaring if anyone had ever bothered to look.
Author's Response: Hi ginar, Thanks for the comment, I always thought the differences were fairly clear cut, hence the chapter : )
Couldn't really tell, but I hope you liked the chapter, thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment though. x

Anytime tears well in my eyes as I'm reading, I count it as 'awesome', and this chapter did that. Absolutely loved this line: 'He put his heart in her deadly hands and simply waited for her to crush it.' Also really loved Buffy asserting Spike would stay unconscious just to annoy her! haha! Very true!
Now, of course, the question is, just what will Buffy do with all these realiZations in her new, grAy world? ;-D
Nice chapter, DH! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks P4S, glad you liked it, not sure if I wanted you to cry, but if that's what it takes... OK! As for Spike's heart, kinda true isn't it? He put himself out there knowing he was gonna get hurt. That's what he does, who he is.
Now, I can say to you I'm very sorry but, with all due respect, they're spelt 'realisations and grey. They just are. >; -) Glad you liked it. X-xx-X

I like the interaction, and poor Buffy, this in front of her mother and sister, really awkward :-)
Author's Response: glad you liked it. awkward? yes, although she might have got away with it in regards to Dawn...didn't really think she should have been present for the whole 'amazing orgasm thing.' That could have been a bit icky! Thanks for taking the time to review. : )

Wooot! Omg, that was yummy! Are you absolutely sure this was your first smut scene? Cos, honey, that was awesome :D If that's how her body reacts to just having him drink her blood, Buffy better have paramedics standing by if (when!) gets groiny with a conscious, fully participating Spike lol
You're so sweet to say what you did in the End Notes *HUGS* I'm extremely proud to have inspired such delicious smut :D *happy sniffles*
Author's Response: heehee, glad you liked it. I have to say, it's quite scary writing something like that for the first time. You hope people wont laugh and go 'omg that was pathetic, don't try that again' which so far, touch wood, (taps head) nobody has. As for when Spike is recovered...I'm not gonna say! (Evil grin) My end notes? well, now every-one who reads the chapter will know what a great inspiration and source of support you've been to me, so unless I'm embarrassing you by saying that, I'd like to leave them. *big hug for happy sniffles* x-x-x-x

Loved the chapter :D Spike's letter was amazing! So touching *sniffles* I can totally see Spike doing something like that.
Yay that Buffy is finally figuring out some stuff (if only Buffy on the show had! lol). And another yay for Dawn for being a good friend to Spike :)
The chapter looks great with the paragraph breaks too, much easier on the eyes :) You're doing a fantastic job, hon! *smooooch*
Author's Response: HI PB! x Really glad you liked Spike's letter, It fits him doesn't it...that he'd do something like that for Buffy and her family.(at least I think it does, that's why I wrote it) ; ) As for Buffy, she was due for a wake up regarding herself and Angel (wanker!) Spike will always have a friend in Dawn AND Joyce, it's something I always felt was overlooked in the show. As for the paragraph breaks... I direct you too the awesomeness that is P4S, she's helped me so much with grammar and punctuation, she's made my ideas readable! I'm really glad you liked it, thanks for the review, sweetie. x-x-x-x

**gah** Are you *sure* you haven't done this before, Dark Heart? Not like any virgin I've ever ... oh ... uh ... never mind. Just to make sure everyone is clear - DARK HEART wrote all that lovely smutty goodness. I just fixed the commas and added in some extra paragraph breaks so I could breathe! Awesome job, DH! And I loved the scene with Joyce and Buffy at the end. Love it when Buffy laughs.
Now can't wait to see what happens if Spike is actually *awake* and participating in the Buffy lovin'. Oh my, that will rock! Great job!! {hugs}
Author's Response: Thanks P4S. Now, YOU may think it was just some commas and paragraph breaks, but as people said of my first chapter, paragraph breaks can make all the difference in reading a story. So big smooch for you for that. As for being a smut virgin... It's the scariest thing I've done so far, seeing how people will take it and hoping everyone won't turn round and say 'OMG that was terrible! never do that again' etc... And I blame you and PB for my foray into smut entirely! Anyone who reads this...they corrupted me, I swear! : )
Seriously though, P4S thanks for all your help on the little grammatical things that I will still probably get wrong and will rely on you to point out! ' comma here, new para here, period here' etc. x-x-x

It's great to see all the Summer's girls on the Spike bandwagon. Buffy shouldn't beat herself up to much though. Yeh she was hard on Spike in S5 but given everything that went before, you can't really blame her. At least she's seeing he's changed now. Super update.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Jane. You never know, maybe Spike's bandwagon has found a home? As for Buffy, don't worry, she's not gonna be super-depressed or anything! It was just a combination of big things all kinda hitting her in a short space of time. Does that make sense? Hope so. Thanks again.

Well done with the paragraphs, it's made a big difference. It's great to see St Angel getting a reevaluation, Dawn certainly isn't pulling her punches!
Author's Response: HI Lou, thanks for the review.(hey, that rhymes!) One of the cool things with writing Dawn, is you can have her say what she wants, kinda like Anya, y'know? As for Angel, should have dusted him on the show. Oh, how I would have laughed! Then have the PTB bring him back, and do it again! All in good fun. Good to know it's easier to read now. Thanks again.

Life for Buffy would have been so different if her mother hadn't died, so I love that you've begun with that premise - and that Spike managed to defeat Doc before he cut Dawn. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.
Author's Response: Hi A4S, thanks very much for the review. I love the character of Joyce and always thought that her and Spike had an off-screen friendship that we weren't privy to. Wishful thinking maybe? As for Spike saving Dawn... wasn't it Buffy that said Spike was the strongest warrior they had in season 7?... but he just got beat so easily by doc at the end of season 5. How wank was that? Spike should of kicked his arse!
