I love this. I've read it before, possibly on another site, but never reviewed it here. It's fantastic. Nice to see Spike getting what he deserves. Happy that Xander and Willow are on their side.

Author's Response: Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it. I thought both Xander and Willow would value Spike now that he made that sacrifice in the hellmouth.

aww! lovely ending. and i did enjoy the kennedy arm break a little too much. :P

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I couldn't resist that arm break - Kennedy ticked me off. :D

Amazing as always. Great characterizations, excellent pacing. Wanted to see how it all turned out yet didn't want it to end. Very well-written.

The story itself is gorgeous. I was tearing up when Spike renounced his claim. Really liked the growth of Xander, and most of the events seemed like a natural progression of S7.

On a personal note, I am so happy that you pointed out the controlling aspects of Giles' and Angel's personalities! Good for Buffy for waking up to the realization that being treated like a child is NOT love!

Once again, great story. Think I'll re-read it now!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you for thinking it's good enough to re-read! The story came out of wondering where the characters would all go after S7 and not liking what I was hearing about the comics. I never could understand Buffy always accepting Giles and Angel controlling her in canon and thought she would rebel if pushed too far. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Ooooooh, love it, Love It, LOVE IT!!! Great fic! Want MORE!!!
(ps---love the description as "sunfire flames"!)

Author's Response: Thank you for enjoying it! And fire from the sun was what was called down through the amulet, sooo...:D

Fantastic! You never fail to deliver the goods. Wonderful story and please continue to write your amazing fics!

Author's Response: I'm working on the next one right now. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thank you!

Ah! Fabulous!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I've read all of your fics (I hope!) and have loved them all. This one is no exception. But what an evil cliff hanger--I'm so glad that you update daily because I can't wait to see what happens!

Author's Response: Never can resist cliffies! :D I'm so glad you like my work! Thank you!

OMG this chappie was perfection. I loved all of it. Buffy not wanting to claim Spike back until he has his memories brought tears to my eyes. Oh if only this was happening in canon.*sigh* The party was fun and the biting was soooo sexy. Buffy lost all track of time. lol

In my previous review I didn't mean rauchy sex talk.. just more sexy talk from Spike during sex cause you know how Spike loves to talk. And I don't think he'd be too quiet while making love. :)

Oh god what a cliffie! You are EVIL!!!!
I'm thinking Angel has something to do with it! Big Poof! And probably Giles, they're working 2gether I think. :(

Loved it so much!!

Author's Response: Sexy talk I can do. It was the raunchy that would have given me problems. :) And I never can resist a cliffie! Sorry! I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!

Thanks for the earlier update - makes it possible for me to read. Thought about Spike's insights.... he's an outsider here, not having the memory. Just a like (sorry for a better example) a beta sees the errors a writer makes because the beta didn't write it), Spike sees more clear because he looks at the slayers' situation from the outside. / *end ramble*

I didn't think Giles would give in to Spike's idea of 'spreading' the slayers through the world. But the Chiriwan are really trouble. Wonder who's behind that.
Sounds like a good decision not to claim Spike back because of the reason Buffy mentioned. One more reason for Spike to love Buffy because she gives him a chance.

Tease ;)
From the spuffyness to the alert that they kill Spike. So who told them (the SiT?) to? Giles? Is Kennedy behind?

Author's Response: Got home earlier. :) Giles wouldn't want to give up control. Buffy trying hard to do the right thing this time. And I never can resist a cliffhanger. :D Thank you for enjoying it!

This was a great chappie. Loved the Spike/Dawn convo.Something that should have happened on the show. And I like Buffy saying both she and Spike had done wrong. Exactly. Totally agree. All the points Spike made are spot on. ITA. Why were all these girls made Slayers? I HATED that, it made no sense. and now they're all herded together with no family or boyfriends, controlled by one man. What kind of love lives are they supposed to have? OMG that is so wrong!

All those demons popping in has me worried. Who's responsible?

Yay! for the hot Spuffyness, love the way you write the Spuffy lovin. Hope Spike remembers soon.:) The only thing I think could be better is if Spike were a little more vocal during sex...I think Spike is the talk dirty kind ,it adds alot to the Spuffy sex. Just my opinion.:)

Loved this so much, you're one of my fave authors!

Author's Response: That got me too, when I heard of the comics. None of it really made sense, right down to their being activated. That's why I questioned it here. Talking dirty? Cute idea. But I'm not sure. He'd do it if if was just sex. But when he's in love, especially when he's got the soul, he gets too intense for that. In my next story however, he doesn't have a soul and he isn't in love with Buffy. I might try it and see how it works. I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you!

Sounds like another apolcolypse.. and please no sacrificial Spike again..

enjoying.. and Buffy did come up with a good way to take his mind off the negative..

Author's Response: No sacrificial Spike. But there will be other problems. :D I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Wow, you update fast. Not complaining because I love it when my favorite stories have a fast update. But after reading the first two chapters. I came back and saw that you have posted 4 new chapters since. I have yet to read them but I will a little later tonight when I have more time. Just wanted to say that I love you quick updates especially since you are one of my must read writers right now. Like I said I can tell we think so much alike just by reading your stories. Bye.

Author's Response: I hate to leave readers hanging, so I don't start to post until the whole story is done and all I have to do is clean up each chapter. That way I can post a chapter a day until it's over. I'm so glad you agree with the way I think! Some people get mad. I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!

Wow, you're early today! So I have a chance to catch the new chapter. Even if that means no chapter tomorrow if posted at the normal time. ;)
A lot of slayers got activated where before was only one (well planned to be only one). That must create a lot of unbalance. I wonder sometimes it that wouldn't cause something.
Buffy was strong because she had friends and family; the slayers have only the other slayers.
Spike had some good ideas what the slayers could do; they even could be paid for patrolling (bodyguards). Better than robbing a bank.
And a lot of people and a busy Buffy when Spike wanted some alone time. *g*
A leaders work never ends, huh?
Chiriwan mmmh I wonder if someone sent them.
It sounds now that Spike's memory is coming back, slowly.
Again, not easy for Buffy to give Spike freedom and more, saying she loves him.
And making new memories. Good thought :) And hot.
~ Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Got home early from work. :) Yes, the baby Slayers only have each other and that's not right. So I thought they should have the opportunity to make their own lives and loves. I'm so glad you're liking it! Thank you!
