Had both he and the demon been on the search for this girl the whole time Could be - or like you said, an equal and a worthy partner.
And what an epiphany Buffy had. :D
But I hope she is wrong and the sword doesn't come with a prize.

Love that Buffy finally *realized* what she's feeling. I hope she can find the courage to tell him soon! And Willow - how brave is that!? Trying to get a warning out. I'm curious how you will have Buffy use the new magical sword ... perhaps it will be needed against Willow!? EEKK! Can't wait for Spike to get well enough for some of those role playing games! {{grin}}
Author's Response: I know I always get you with the kinky stuff :-)
Buffy realizing her feelings is the first step, now she has to commit to them and to open up to Spike. That needs a different kind of courage...

*phew* That was indeed teamwork to get Spike out. Even if Buffy did most of the work.
*nods* @ Spike + his demon.
His demon recognizes Buffy as their mate, huh?
Author's Response: I wouldn't go for mate, but the demon definitely recognizes her as equal and a worthy partner. With William's emotional human side in the mix, he must be looking for a partner who is also a balanced mixture of human and demon.
A strong vampiress wouldn't suffice. I never heard for example that Spike was attracted to Darla.

Oh good - they are warned now (Willow).
Nice twist with the slayer / vampire (not aging).
And good the next chapter is already out - mean cliffhanger.
Author's Response: Hope you are well again, I heard a rumor that RL hit you hard. Thank you for liking my scientific explanations (the aging). Why resort to magic when it can be explained by the laws of nature?

Title: Too High a Price? (Part 2)
I agree completely - Spike and his demon ... or William and Spike, seem to cohabitate within the same person pretty much all the time - one may be slightly stronger at some times more than others, while Angel and Angelus are in constant battle for dominance, never really at peace with the other. Loved everyone helping Spike and the tear-inducing realization by Buffy that she did love him.
Author's Response: Thank you my dear. Just like I see it, William and the demon are Spike, balanced and, like every scale, always readjusting their equilibrium. I think, that is also the reason that Spike can change :-)

Oh! What a yummy alarm clock Spike makes! Can I have one? Hope Buffy gets her room vamp-proofed soon! Then all the badness with Willow - that doesn't sound good at all! Are we heading for a dark-Willow experience? Then you have to toss in an evil-cliffie at the end!? Really!? Good luck avoiding the voodoo doll torture! Despite the evil cliff hanger, a yummy and worrisome chapter. (for Spike and Willow!)
Author's Response: My dear, I totally missed to answer your review. So, the cliffy is resolved now and I survived the last week without any voodoo triggered aches..

Glad Buffy noticed Willow's reaction to Dawn's blood... not good, this reaction. Like an addict.
*gg* @ Anya marking the book.
Enjoyed the update.

Thank you for your reviews and a Happy New Year to you!

And the weeping should have helped Buffy; I hope.

I'm not an obsessive hater of T., but come on, is just ridiculous. I couldn't resist a small blow.
Hope you had a merry Christmas!

A very happy, feel good chapter and also moving the story along with the weirdness of Willow and Xander seeing the future - and even liking Spike more. I loved seeing my suggestions in there - it's always nice to know you liked them enough to use. I enjoy being able to help; it's a pleasure to beta for you! Hope you have a Merrry Christmas and a fabtabulous new year!
Author's Response: Merry Christmas to you! I love your enthusiastic comments to my story and your suggestions show me on what I missed out. I know how much time it takes to work on other's stories, so again my heartfelt 'Thank you', my friend!

Ok ... extra yummy!! heehee! I didn't have to beg for the next chapter last time because I had a sneak peak! Now I'm waiting breathlessly for what happens next. Totally LOVED the ending here! I love playful Buffy ... she didn't get to show herself much, but we all know she's in there, and leave it to Spike to bring her out! Yay!! LOVED THIS WHOLE CHAPTER! Very hot!
Author's Response: I know you got a sneak preview of this a long, long time ago :-)
I love playful, tickling Buffy - I hope Spike can finally cure her from seeing everything so serious.

I doubt we've seen the last of Warren but who cares when Spike and Buffy are getting so nicely acquainted! Maybe you could leave Xander on Mt Olympus.
Author's Response: That is an excellent idea! If Xander meets Edward, hell will he be glad to see Spike again :-)

Loved the way how BUffy stood up against Riley.
Thanks for Anya to being helpful.
Good thought too about getting the chip out.
Author's Response: Trust Riley to leave a mess. It is a good time to adress the chip. What if Buffy hadn't come in time? Thank God Riley had wanted Spike to suffer and didn't kill him right off...
Ah, I don't underestimate Anya. She doesn't know her way around humans at times, but she knows a lot about demons and I won't waste her experience.

Title: Visitation (Part 2)
Yay all around!! I couldn't agree more that Spike must have money tucked away somewhere and simply chooses not to use it. It's more fun getting it out of the Scoobies ... I always thought when Spike offered Buffy money in S6 when she was working at the burger joint, he meant more than kitten money ... that he had 'real' money tucked away that he could access - perhaps in Europe, not easily obtainable right on hand, but still there. Loved the Dr. Who comment, as well! :) Only sad part was that Riley didn't get beat up more ... heehee! Great chapter!
Author's Response: I really think "The Doctor" in this episode was an homage to the show all along. Just as the lines about the DVD's and Red Dwarf :-)
Duh, if you are around for 120 years you will have money with interest. Especially if you don't care about spending it.
I just hope that Sam will beat up Riley, it was him after all who messed everything up with his hatred. They could've been gone before the Scoobies arrived otherwise.

Uh-huh... hot dream.
Mmmh Riley - Buffy didn't really need him back.
I wonder what Anya was writing down when Riley talked about the demons. Makes me wonder if she knows something better (of the stuff Riley told).
Author's Response: Nearly everyone got my hint that Riley wasn't telling the truth about the demons. You're right, Anya catched him on that, Buffy just ran away too quickly.
Read on with the next chapter, everything is reveiled there :-)

Title: Easy Way Out
I love the story so far... from the single chapter I've read. I mean, I'm going to be reading the others now, but I just wanted to ask you something first. I checked out your profile and saw that you were from Germany--so English is your second language? That's really amazing. How did you get so adept at another language?
Author's Response: Yes I'm a German. You are the first one to mention that. It's funny, I think I would never have started writing in my own language - really! I was using English a lot in my job but I got quite fluent by watching DVD and TV in the original language - which started end 2006 with Buffy. That's also why I ended up a JM fan because I concentrated so much on the audio - close your eyes and listen to him, you don't need his looks to just love him :-) I started writing lyrics for the Firefly Music Project (if you like Firefly, check out myspace/fireflyfilk) and this year Puddinhead coached me into writing fiction. I have really good betas who help me with the 'Americanisms'. My worst problem: I hear the story and there are so many words who sound nearly the same and are written differently (cheap/cheep, couch/coach, loose/lose etc.) They just haunt me...
OK, this was rather long now. I hope you'll enjoy my version of a season six.

First of all - YAY for getting the exploding stars in there! You fleshed that out wonderfully, then, of course pulled the bed out from under us! heehee! Very hot! Secondly, I wish Buffy wouldn't hold bad - go ahead and kick Whitebread in his brass balls! :) Loved many of Spike's lines in this one, too! And Buffy finally coming around! Can't wait for the real thing! :P
Author's Response: Thank you my dear, but you gave me the kick off for that. I like the 'interruptus' cliffhangers obviously. I swear, I never do it on purpose, that's the bad influence of my muse (which has bleached blond hair) :-)

And another good idea - too bad they never used it in the series when Buffy had money problems.
Mmmh another prophecy. Loved the way the story goes.
Congrats for your nomination!

Loved Spike telling Buffy from North Africa; and how he got Buffy to think of her there (let her imagine). Very romantic.
Scheherazade indeed. :)
*nods* Spike telling Buffy about his mom went well; and it was an important moment.
Enjoyed the new chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your constant support. The story about Tangier was one of the first things I wrote, I itched to tell something about Spike's past. I love this kind of food. But I have to confess, that the romantic feeding each other was influenced from "Yours, William". If you don't know that story and you like history/William stories, I recommend it.
