I totally forgot to say THANK YOU for giving Spike Slayer/Vamp power. I hate the idea of him not having his strength - it's just part of him now, part of his personality and I hate it when it gets taken away from him. Good on ya! :)
Author's Response: I much prefer him to have some superpowers even if he's human. Just seems fair. :)

Bravo!! Some very funny moments - the poker chip in the bed is classic as was the line about Spike not having taken PSYCH 101 or knowing that nudity was a bad thing! Soooo very true!! And of course, many touching moments and hotness too. Glad the 3-4 chapter fluffy spuffy story turned into this. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm very fond of it and it's nice to know others liked it too. :)

So, I just read this for the second time and it was just as fantastic as the first time through. It is honestly one of my favorites and I can see myself coming back to read it again and again. The way you write everyone's voices is perfect. Your Spike is absolutely wonderful. The plot and the emotions and all of it engage me all the way through. Even though I had read this one time before and knew what was going to happen, I still felt wrapped up in the emotional ride and got teary again when Spike faded away to nothing. This story is marvelous and I just wanted to let you know that.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. I'm quite pleased with it, so it's always nice to hear that readers enjoyed it.

Very enjoyable. Not just well-plotted, but well-paced--which is often harder. The personalities were accurate, with only minor thumping of Riley. (I understand why you left out any actual fighting between Spike and Riley at the end--it would have been really superfluous--though I admit I wouldn't have minded seeing Captain Cardboard crushed a bit.) You avoided the cheap and easy gags, and went for small, humorous touches that integrated better into the storyline, such as Spike doing a poltergeist older-brother-from-hell number on Dawn's couch-based tryst.
I can almost see a followup based around some Buffy-and-Spike mission, that also lets us see how he interacts with the other Scoobies, but of course, that entirely up to you. I'll be interested in reading whatever you provide. :)
Author's Response: Thank you very much for the detailed and encouraging review. There actually is a short sequel - written as a Christmas fic for a friend, if I remember correctly. Anyway, it's called A Bumpy Christmas and is on this site.
Thanks again. :)

Okay, so this way an absolutely fantastic story. I feel bad for not giving a review on every chapter, but I didn't want to stop. I just wanted to keep flipping the figurative pages. The premise was so unique, and you did such a good job keeping everyone true to character. When Spike disappeared for good, I actually cried. It was so heart wrenching, especially watching Buffy afterwards. I actually did enjoy the Spikeless chapters. They were very well done. I'm so glad it got a happy ending, though. This was definitely one of your best stories. Thank you for taking the time to write it and share it.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. It was a fun story to write (even the sad parts). Thank you for taking the time to tell me you liked it. :)

“There’s a poker chip on our bed, and it’s licking me.”
One of the greatest random Spike lines of all time. Loved the reunion, but being the sad cat lady that I am, I was wondering when he was going to meet the new roommate, and that was amazing.
So glad you did decide to explore this character and all of the emotions that come with Buffy actually getting what she wants and then dealing with losing it again. A very good portrayal of those emotions. And Riley was a right ass, but a pretty good catalyst. Well worth keeping me up past my bed time. Thanks for the story. Made my night. Figure I'll get to the sequel another night. (Happy you already wrote one so I don't have to beg.) :)
Author's Response: Enjoy your rest. :) The sequel will be there when you have time for it. Thanks for reading. :)

Knew it. If there was a way to piss Spike off enough to return from where ever he was, it would be Riley. 147 days. Love that little thread. Was gonna go to bed about 9 chapters ago but you brought me through to the end. Pretty impressive. :)
Author's Response: Sorry for your missing sleep, but thrilled that my story could hold your attention to the end. Thanks for reading and reviewing so consistently. :)

It's a good thing to occasionally get your bitch on. Sometimes people need it. Hope she doesn't get a full blown enemy out of this one.
Author's Response: I think Buffy's smart enough to make some amends at some point down the line. After the girl has been taken down a peg or two...

Riley. Who woulda thought? Too bad about Sam, but oddly interesting that he would find his way back to the fold. Do think think that would be one thing that would piss Spike off enough to come back from where ever it is that he's gotten to.
Author's Response: It just seems logical that the new Council and the demon hunters might want to work together...

Not liking all the random Spike disappearing. Hope he doesn't completely disappear. Though you did write a sequel so I have faith. :)
Author's Response: Hee! Yeah, the sequel does sort of give it away, doesn't it? Hadn't thought about that...
