LOve this story! Please update soon.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Keys and Vodka03/25/2006 09:54 am
Stupid Riley. What an arse. That boy ... stupid fool. Him making that comment has pretty much put him in the Buffy crap book. he can figure he's out the door now. I hope things go well for Spike and Buffy when he gets her home.
 
vladtKeys and Vodka03/16/2006 04:01 pm
wonderful tale. nikole is a joy. thanks for the fun read.
 
NovaKeys and Vodka03/16/2006 01:47 pm
*evil*

Such a cliffhanger... I do look foward to the update.

 
AthenewolfeKeys and Vodka03/15/2006 01:20 pm
I loved this chapter. Nikole is such a cool character and the jealousy scenes are perfect. Excellant chapter!
 
RobynKeys and Vodka03/15/2006 11:41 am
This is a really great story, I have enjoyed what I have read so far. I love how Nikole is helping Spike with his romance with Buffy, and I loved how Joyce pointed out, and made Buffy understand how wrong her actions are towards Spike. And Spike always being there for Buffy, even protecting her from making the same mistake of hitting Riley that she made when she hit him. I am looking forward to the rest of this story.
 
kimKeys and Vodka03/15/2006 02:44 am
Cool! That worked out very well, really. Riley made such an ass of himself, Buffy would want to dump him, anyway, even if she wasn't already having feelings for Spike.

Understand wanting to punch the drunken lug, but she should have just slapped him, not gone to punch him. She's gotta start thinking about not making a fist just because she's upset. But good ol' Spike, looking out for her welfare again....
 
MarzBarKeys and Vodka03/15/2006 12:11 am
WOW!! What a good thing than Nikole can hurt Cardbored. I see Spike and Nikole are still driving Buffy mad with jealousy. That's a good thing, too. More story please.
 
UncagedMuseKeys and Vodka03/14/2006 10:12 pm
Loved it. More soon as you can please.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Discoveries03/03/2006 01:35 am
Oooo Nikole is toast when Buffy gets ahold of her. Excellent update. Look forward to more.
Lol! I have to say Buffy isn't going to be happy. But that's typical for Buffy anyways. Glad you liked the update!
 
AthenewolfeDiscoveries02/11/2006 05:08 pm
I likey ... really good sweets
Thanks hun! *hugs*
 
MarzBarDiscoveries02/10/2006 09:00 pm
Thanks for the latest! Will Buffy want to sock Nikole now for not telling her Dawn is the Key? More story please.
We all know Buffy, she's going to react in her typical manner. Thanks for reading!
 
UncagedMuseDiscoveries02/10/2006 06:08 pm
Awesome! More!
Will do, I've already got the start of the next chapter written out.
 
AthenewolfeRevelations02/08/2006 07:26 pm
Dawn is so cute in this fic! I like how you wrote her liking Nikkole. I really enjoyed the chapters to date. Please update soon *puppy dog eyes*
Thanks for reviewing every chapter Steph. You're awesome! And I will update soon. Got me a chapter done and just waiting for Ariel to get back home.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Revelations02/01/2006 11:42 pm
Oooo, jealous Buffy. She is realizing she is jealous too. I wonder where that will take her next. If Spike and Nikole don't show that they really aren't together soon, it could bite them in the butt. Love the story, and I look forward to more.
I'm not sure where jealousy is going to take Buffy next, she has a mind of her own, stubborn bint...And yeah, Spike and Nikole are working with a challenge. I'm glad that you're enjoying this fic. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
 
MarzBarRevelations01/27/2006 09:03 pm
Nikole is way cooler than Buffy. How far will Spike and Nikole push this little ruse? BTW, when will Nikole tell them about the Key? More story please.
I can't tell you how far they're going to push it, it'd ruin it! And Nikole will tell them about who is the Key when it's time, remember, she's still new to the group. Thanks for reading!
 
spike_spetslayerRevelations01/27/2006 06:13 pm
oh, it's getting good! Nikole has to be one of the best OC's in the fandom...and jealous!Buffy is fantastic! Let's hope that she sees the light before too long...keep writing, Kristina! I need more!
Thanks Dede. Aww, you're too sweet to me, but I'm so happy you like Nikole. And I'll keep writing, promise, gotta keep up with you, don't I?
 
AthenewolfeLucky Guess02/08/2006 07:19 pm
I love your use of a spell to make Joyce suspicious of his answer - nice ploy and gets Joyce in on the Buffy is an evil person for hitting spike wagon. You know it is still assult even if she is the slayer. Growls softly.
Thanks, I was a bit worried about that since you know, it was manipulating a bit, but it seemed to have gone over well.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Lucky Guess01/03/2006 05:16 am
Excellent update. Look forward to more. Keeps getting better all the time. {Grins}
Thank you! ^_^
 
bubble_blunderLucky Guess01/01/2006 03:49 am
Truly lovely chapter! -Lisa
Thanks!
 
AthenewolfeNausea02/08/2006 07:14 pm
Bout time she relaized that Riley is a dud - just ask Wulfie - Riley is only three inches!

I love Nikkole putting her in his place - stupid Buffy and poor Spike! *huggles Spike*
LOL! Three inches...*snickers* I don't even want to know how Wulfe knows. *g*

Yeah, Nikole's trying to put things right. Let's see if she can do it.
 
bubble_blunderNausea12/29/2005 01:49 am
Just catching up on the updates from when I was out of town. Love this chapter! Can't wait to see what Joyce says to her! -Lisa
Thank you!
 
~*~Tasha~*~Nausea12/22/2005 02:33 am
Good chapter, and I look forward to more. {Smiles} I love this story.
Glad you like it. Thanks for reading!
 
LouNausea12/21/2005 12:16 pm
Poor Buffy, so dumb - hopefully the little light bulb in her head will go on soon!
I hope so too!
 
sueNausea12/21/2005 12:32 am
Lashings of honey coming up! Loved the confusion of our resident slayer and the mom aggravation was way cool. Am dying to read more and would be in your debt forever and a day if you could find it in your heart to oblige. Truly. loved it all to bits and am gagging for more. Thanks ever so much. Did it work? xxx
Omg, you might be the sweetest person ever! *hugs* Yes, your review has touched me and I feel inspiration to write more. *runs off to open word*
 
Ariel DawnNausea12/20/2005 10:42 pm
Great chapter! love the line about the coherent pills! made me giggle...Looking forward to the next chapter! *craps whip* Get those fingers a typin'!
*raises eyebrow* Isn't there a line about getting more bees with honey, not vinegar? But why would anyone want bees anyways? Oh well...
 
AthenewolfeApologizing...02/08/2006 07:07 pm
Go Joyce! She rocks! and such mom like advice I can see her lecturing. LOL.

God Buffy is such a witch. She needs to get over herself!
Yes! I'm so happy you like Joyce. She's going to be all mama bear in this one. And yeah, Buffy still in her witch phase.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Apologizing...12/08/2005 12:20 pm
Dang ... more please ... more please. {chuckles} That was worth repeating because I really am looking forward to more of this story. Thanks
hehe, Thanks Tasha! Glad you're liking it. Your update is coming right up!
 
UncagedMuseApologizing...12/07/2005 06:38 pm
Love that her mom made her go apologize! Brilliant chp! More as soon as you can.
I always thought that Joyce would have done something more if she knew exactly what Buffy was doing. Thanks for reading!
 
spike_spetslayerApologizing...12/05/2005 02:22 am
Jealousy is an ugly word...too bad Buffy's so jealous...great update, BTL...I love this story...and Nikole...genius...Spike couldn't have a better ally....
hehe, Thanks Dede!
 
DarApologizing...12/05/2005 01:42 am
OOOh! Can't wait to read about Nicole's plan for handling this. Hope she makes a fool of Buffy. Great Story.
Thanks!
 
redwulf50Apologizing...12/04/2005 11:55 pm
lmao, I think Nikole needs to spank Spike, he might have blown it just a bit
He didn't blow anything. And there will be no spanking of Spike, unless I get to do it.
 
bubble_blunderApologizing...12/04/2005 09:30 pm
I just love Joyce. And Buffy is such a bitch! Glad to see an update of this one. -Lisa
lol, I enjoy Joyce and Buffy is still bitch!Buffy, but don't worry, she's going to get what's coming to her. Thanks for reading!
 
sueApologizing...12/04/2005 09:04 pm
About time Buffy kept her nasty fists to herself - listen to your mum girl! Love Nikole and hope that Spike doesn't lose too much patience with the mannerless slayer. Looking forward to more. Thanks.
Glad you liked it, thanks for reading!
 
MarzBarApologizing...12/04/2005 08:30 pm
Spike is still giving her chances to be intelligent but it's not in the cards. Nikole is funny and good company for Spike. More story please.
Glad you like Nikole. Buffy just hasn't gotten to where she needs to be yet, but she'll get there...eventually.
 
Ariel DawnApologizing...12/04/2005 08:13 pm
Fab chapter. Of course I already told you that. I love Buffy's denial of her hurt feelings. Now, get writing the next chapter! *hugs*
Yes I knew...and I will get writing soon, promise.
 
AthenewolfeJaloux?02/08/2006 07:02 pm
oh what does she know about Spikey?

Love the bot about helping with homework! heheh I love it!

*sniff* her story of the watcher she was in love was so sad! Poor nikkole!
Yeah, the helping with the homework part amuses me too. And Nikole has a past, I'm just revealing it bit by bit.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Jaloux?11/16/2005 05:22 am
{Chuckles} That was cute with Dawn and the French lesson. I got a real chuckle out of that. Look forward to seeing what you have for us next. I really do enjoy this story.
lol, I am so glad that you like the story so far. It makes me smiles to read reviews like yours. Thank you so much for reading!
 
spike_spetslayerJaloux?11/13/2005 11:00 pm
See? This is what I'm talking about...excellent update, and I just love the premise...and I know that you'll explain who Nikole is, although I have my suspicions...Anytime, honey, give us more!
Thanks you! *blushes* I did get a couple reviews from people worrying about Nikole, and I hope that I've explained enough now.
 
UncagedMuseJaloux?11/13/2005 10:38 pm
Great updated. Tons of jealousy to come I see. LOL
hehe, you know it!
 
bubble_blunderJaloux?11/13/2005 09:32 pm
Glad to see an update of this awesome story! I love Nikole! Can't wait to see Buffy's reaction to their little plan. -Lisa
Aww, thanks so much I am so happy that you like this fic. Thanks for reading!
 
MarzBarJaloux?11/13/2005 06:07 pm
When will Nikole be able to tell the blockhead that Dawn is the key? I like her little plot to help Spike with Buffy even though I'm usually not sure that Buffy is good enough to deserve him. This is a good story and I look forward to more.
Don't worry, all will be solved with time. I'm glad you like it!
 
sueJaloux?11/13/2005 05:52 pm
And the trap is set. Loved the update and hoping for more soon. Thanks.
Thank you!
 
AthenewolfeNew Evil02/08/2006 06:57 pm
OMG great plot idea - Nikkole protecs Dawnie I love it! Great intro to Glory!
Thanks! I was trying to do something a bit different. I just hope I don't fall on my face with it.
 
~*~Tasha~*~New Evil11/11/2005 10:27 am
Definitely like Nikole. Maybe she can finally get a reaction out of Buffy. Stupid Slayer. Look forward to more!
Thanks Tasha! So glad you decided to stick around. I promise that more will be revealed in the next chapter.
 
Confused MuseNew Evil11/08/2005 09:36 pm
Loving your OC, and you've introduced an intriguing twist to the Season 5 basics
Thanks!
 
MarzBarNew Evil11/07/2005 09:52 am
Nikole is alright! Glad she's helping Spike goad Buffy. Maybe she can point out Cardbored's defects without pissing her off as much as Spike. More story please.
hehe, Yeah, Nikole's got a few tricks up her sleeve, just wait.
 
UncagedMuseNew Evil11/07/2005 05:18 am
LOL Making Buffy jealous is fantastic! Great update will be waiting for the next one.
If you thought jealous Buffy in this one was good, just wait till the next one!
 
Ariel DawnNew Evil11/07/2005 02:21 am
hehehe, I'm glad that Nikole finds Riley irritating too! Love the chapter! *hugs*
Yeah, I mean, she's a smart girl, of course she doesn't like Riley.
 
Elizabeth Anne SummersNew Evil11/07/2005 01:48 am
Ooooo making her jealous. Evil... hehe
hehe, yes, I'm just a bit evil. *covers up horns*
 
WeaverHistory Lesson03/15/2006 04:32 am
Just a query, cos generally I like this, but why didn't Tara stand up for her aunt when Buffy was being a bitch?
 
AthenewolfeHistory Lesson02/08/2006 06:53 pm
I am really enjoying this character - strong, magical, kicks ass in cards - lovely!

OMG and she knows EVERYONE! I wanna be her!
Oh yeah, I had to have someone rival Spike a bit. He'd think less of her if she didn't.
 
Ariel DawnHistory Lesson10/31/2005 04:15 am
complain? me? never! This fic rocks! and I would never begrudge my beta goddess anything!
hehe, I'm so spoiled. *huggles*
 
OpalHistory Lesson10/31/2005 03:48 am

hehe, Thanks! I've got some tricks hidden up my sleeve...
 
redwulf50History Lesson10/30/2005 01:40 pm

I really like Nikkole so far - part of her soul, warm, ohhh this is yummy! i really like her so far!
Yes, Nikole is pretty muched like by all, just don't get too comfy yet.
 
OraclehollyA New Visitor12/26/2005 09:13 am
I WANT MORE!!!! NOW!! I love Nikkole... love her, love her. Love Joyce being protective of Spike (not like how the writers had her being so hyprocritical in S5). I want to see Buffy get her ass chewed out! So hurry and write more.
I'm so glad you like Nikole, and how I'm protraying Joyce. And I'm working on the writing. New chapter should be up soon. Thanks for reading!
 
~*~Tasha~*~A New Visitor11/07/2005 03:05 am
I'm curious as to if this is going to stay Spike/Other?
Don't worry Tasha, all will be explained in the next chapter. Please keep reading! It will be Spuffy eventually, I promise!
 
StephanieA New Visitor10/24/2005 12:09 pm
I loved this chapter. It was a great beginning. I am really intrigued by your OC. She is well written and a mystery so I want to see what happens with her. I can not wait to see the reaction that the Scobbie have as well. Very good start...
heh, Thanks! I was a little worried about people not liking the OC but I've gotten good feedback on her. Thanks for reading!
 
vladtA New Visitor10/24/2005 06:04 am

Thank you!
 
UncagedMuseA New Visitor10/24/2005 05:27 am

Thanks BSB! I'm glad people are taking to the OC.
 
MaxA New Visitor10/23/2005 10:09 pm
Nice start - I'm always a fan of stories that don't have the whole "Spike turning into a wimp because he loves Buffy thing" - update soon plz
heh, Thank you. Yeah, Spike's been a vamp for how long? I know he's love's bitch, but he's also his own man. Thanks for reading!
