My day is shot. ;) Beautifully written, heart wrenching. thanx, so glad you enjoyed it   nmcil Epilogue: Coming Home 03/22/2006 01:36 pm Great to read a story with such a wonderful treatment of characters and such a great plot. I would have liked just a tiny bit more exploration of Angelus' stay in LA or his Hell, especially since he comes back with his soul still attached and so much of Angel was predicated on the ensouled vampire vs souless evil vamps. Much thanks for bringing us such a great Buffyverse adventure. thanx so much, so glad you enjoyed it...yeah, i meant to get around to that but somehow just didn't...but i never saw much difference in angel and angelus, really, and always thought that with the right provocation...say, getting sent to hell for a few hundred years...angel could have been just as vengeful and cruel as angelus, easily..thanx for the review   Lou Epilogue: Coming Home 03/18/2006 07:39 pm Quite a journey for both of them - so much to overcome. Loved it - many thanks. thanx so much...so glad you liked it, thanx for reading it   just sue Epilogue: Coming Home 03/18/2006 06:07 am I'll miss this one, sweetie. i think of all your deicious fic - so far - that this is my favourite. *sighs* Loved the ending and will be looking forward to your next story. *hugs* really?? so glad you liked it thanx for the kind words   Cewcew Epilogue: Coming Home 03/17/2006 05:14 pm Loved It!!!

Pleaae tell me that this is some cruel joke!!! Please! Pretty please?.... (sob) Nothing could have been more beautiful for the end of this magnificent story! I really hope that you are planning a sequal to explain all that Spike has become ( and so we can see Willow really get what is coming to her --- Muhhahahaha....) and how Spuffy grows together! Loved the story and can't wait to see what wonderful piece you come up with next! thanx so much for your kind words...glad you enjoyed it hope you like the next one as much   Karyn Epilogue: Coming Home 03/16/2006 10:24 pm awwww, wonderful ending to a wonderful story! brilliant! thanx so much, so glad you liked it   MarzBar Epilogue: Coming Home 03/16/2006 10:18 pm Beautiful end to what was indeed a terrifying tale.

Thanks for a wonderful story--enjoyed every chapter! lol...thanx, glad you liked it thanx for coming along for the ride   SpaceLord Epilogue: Coming Home 03/16/2006 07:15 pm Well this was a very good story. Too bad that Angel killed Joyce, always liked her to be honest but that worked out well for the story. me too, joyce is my favorite, but i needed a catalyst for buffy's vengeance.... glad you enjoyed the story   Athenewolfe Painful Truth 03/15/2006 12:58 pm Oh great update... I love how buffy put willow in her place. I do feel very sorry for her though - she did lose Oz and it would have to be hard to even think about giving his murderer a second choice. as far as magic is concenrned though she has no care. *hugs* yeah, i have tried to portray that...willow is flawed, but she is human...her feelings are understandable, but she totally handled them wrong...thanx for great review   lilmamaday Painful Truth 03/15/2006 11:22 am Finally! Buffy needed to let all that out and boy did it need to be said! I can't wait to see what Spike's reaction is when they get back into the room! thanx so much! glad you liked it! yeah, willow sooo needed to be told!!   Tamara Painful Truth 03/15/2006 01:13 am Great speech. I'm glad that Buffy didn't let Willow off the hook when it came to nearly getting her killed. yeah, i agree thanx for great review   SpaceLord Painful Truth 03/15/2006 01:11 am Nicey chappy. Willow bitching and moaning about how unfair stuff is, just wondeful. typical willow isn't it?? so glad you liked it   MarzBar Painful Truth 03/14/2006 08:34 pm Nice going Buffy! Willow really needs to control herself before she can ever control magic or anything else. yep...i agree..and she needed to hear it from her best friend   Karyn Painful Truth 03/14/2006 07:58 pm woo hoo, tell 'em off again girl! lol..it's like music to my ears they sure need telling dont they?   pfeifferpack Painful Truth 03/14/2006 07:46 pm Oh yeah Buffy! You are so on the money about Willow's motivations (not just in this story but on the show)...she was always about "her will be done", all for the greater good of course ...:::snort:::... Excellent update, glad Spike got some decent rest. Kathleen yep...that's why tara broke up with her...b/c she wanted to decide what was best for everyone else   vladt Painful Truth 03/14/2006 07:16 pm excellent read. something cannon buffy should have done. thanks thanx so much, i agree   Lou Healing 03/16/2006 07:27 am This was very well done. Buffy usually is not so understanding and I could totally sympathise with Spike's fears. thanx so much...i know, i like buffy better like this than as cold and mean as she could be at times in the show   vladt Healing 03/13/2006 01:51 pm excellent chapter. a side of buffy rarely seen. very good read. thanks thanx so much, glad you liked it..i wish she had shown more compassion for him in the show   letitia Healing 03/13/2006 01:15 pm I hate it but I can just imagine what Faith made him do. I am just glad that Buffy is there and trying to help him. I just hope he will let her. yeah...after all that he's been through, he had to deal with it...it doesn't all get better just cause Faith is gone...thanx for review   Karyn Healing 03/13/2006 10:42 am wonderful touching scene, great job! thanx so much, glad you enjoyed it   MarzBar Healing 03/13/2006 10:02 am Good to see Spike start to feel better. He needs his Big Bad back. dont worry, buffy will help him get it back   Athenewolfe Healing 03/13/2006 09:42 am excellant chapter sweetie thanx   Morrigan Waking Up 03/13/2006 04:14 am Oooh... Creepy! thanx   lilmamaday Waking Up 03/12/2006 06:55 pm OMG! What an absolutely horrible nightmare! Please tell me that he actually talks to her and realizes that his fear is unfounded and that Buffy wouldn't do anything like that to him! I love how you have written Xander and I really wish that Joss had written him like this! There were many times that I really didn't care for Xander in the later seasons, he was such an ass! I can't wait to see what happens when Buffy is face to face with Giles and Willow! oh he will...thanx so much, glad you like my xander, i also hated what joss did with him   vladt Waking Up 03/12/2006 12:52 pm from where is that nightmare coming? good update, good fic. thanks thanx so much   just sue Waking Up 03/12/2006 04:42 am Yikes! Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water... Loved the reassurance Buffy gave Xander but very perturbed at the direction Spike's nightmare has taken. Great stuff, Jessi, and looking forward to more. Thanks, sweetie. thanx so much, so glad you are liking it...yes, the nightmare is disturbing...reflecting his insecurities over what she'll think of him now...thanx for review   MarzBar Waking Up 03/12/2006 01:07 am YUCK! Horrible dreams. I wonder if something bad is causing them to be like that? More story please. just his own issues... thanx for review   Karyn Waking Up 03/11/2006 08:25 pm oh no! poor spike, something tells me we're not out of the woods yet, sigh we're close...he's just so insecure about how she'll take the truth about what happened to him...the dream was meant to show that insecurity...thanx for review   Athenewolfe Waking Up 03/11/2006 07:32 pm poor spikey! I hope he gets to feeling better soon - evil nightmares. really good ficcie! he will...buffy will make it better...thanx for review   lilmamaday Aftermath 03/12/2006 06:42 pm I am so glad that Buffy didn't just make excuses for what Giles did and let it go! It was nice to see her give him the what for that he so deserved! Oh, and poor little Willow, knocked out by her best friend! lol! I laughed out loud at that part of the story! Off to read the next chapter! how could she, really? it was so clearly wrong! glad you liked willow getting hit...i thought spike was too easy on her myself   pfeifferpack Aftermath 03/11/2006 03:36 pm Great scene. Wonderful how Buffy is mature enough to quickly realize how arrogant Giles' choices were, how much LIKE Willow in truth. Poor Spike soo insecure about Buffy that he fears her knowing the whole of it. She'll fix that in time. Good job again. Kathleen yeah,she's grown up a bit being on her own and all...and yes, buffy will help him get over his insecurities... thanx for review   Athenewolfe Aftermath 03/11/2006 07:43 am lovely update! I love how this is playing out and can't wait to see what happens to the gang. I feel so much for Willow, but she is very scary. How will this get resolved - can she ever accept what is going on? Great update! Off to upload to web! yeah, will thought she was helping..but she does need help...thanx for review   MarzBar Aftermath 03/11/2006 12:28 am Gadz! Now they need a good spot of violence? I think I'd need a long nap after some nice smut. Oh well; I'm only human. More story please. that's not really what they need...spike's just being avoidy and buffy's letting him...don't worry, smut is to come!!   Karyn Aftermath 03/10/2006 09:39 pm oh wonderful update...I sense that it's winding down but have a feeling we still have a few more chappie's left...important talks, and goodbyes and all that! i'm hoping for just one more...but we'll see what happens thanx for review   letitia Aftermath 03/10/2006 08:47 pm what a way for Xander to find out about Spike and Buffy. Glad that Buffy is putting Willow and Giles in their place. I just hope that Spike is willing to talk sometime soon. You really can't keep things inside list that. Great update. you're right, he does need to talk about it...and he will thanx for review   Morrigan Aftermath 03/10/2006 07:23 pm **L**  Xander hit Willow!  Hehehehe!  Delicious! lol...yeah i liked that bit thanx for review   vladt Aftermath 03/10/2006 07:15 pm very entertaining update. thanks for the read. thanx so much, so glad you liked it   Lilachigh Aftermath 03/10/2006 06:42 pm I like. Be sad to see the end. it's coming soon, unfortunately thanx for review   Lou Justice and Vengeance 03/10/2006 01:06 pm Perfect vengeance - without mercy! Fantabulous! neither of them deserved mercy thanx for review   Athenewolfe Justice and Vengeance 03/09/2006 06:44 am excellant chapter - I loved this - can't see how to wrap it up with Willow and everything. Huggles! thanx so much...so glad you liked it   Morrigan Justice and Vengeance 03/09/2006 06:11 am Yay!  Dead Faith and dead Angel!  Whoopie! lol   Oracleholly Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 10:31 pm Excellent telling of both retributions! The Buffy/Angelus fight was very reminscent of S2 and reminded me of Angelus' reappearance in Angel S4. Spike & Faith's ending was well conceived. And I loved how you gave Buffy the ephiany of what really happened when Spike & Giles went to Faith's that night. thanx so much, so glad you liked it...fight scenes are probably hardest for me (even harder than sex scenes) lol   vladt Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 09:01 pm excellent chapter. only flaw, is giles being off the hook, again. loved it thanks who says he's off the hook??   pfeifferpack Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 07:48 pm Yeah....but just when they feel nice and safe....... I can almost feel that shoe getting ready to drop. You tell a wonderful tale sweetie! Love the confrontation with Angelus and Spike was actually fairly merciful to Faith all things considered. Kathleen lol...pessimistic much? ;) j/k thanx so much for the compliment, so glad you are enjoying the story...   MarzBar Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 07:38 pm Happy to see that Angelus and they psycho slayer are gone. I guess Giles and Willow are next for at least some bitch slapping. yep...they have their own turn coming up   Irishrose Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 07:03 pm Yay! but now Giles and Willow have to pay the piper. And smutty wrap up? lol....soon   Karyn Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 05:56 pm wonderful, moving chapter! *sigh* and so ends the terror of Faith and Angelus. thanx so much, so glad you enjoyed it   lilmamaday Justice and Vengeance 03/08/2006 05:55 pm I am so unbelievably happy that Angel and Faith are finally out of the picture and that both of our blonde duo have gotten their revenge! I fear for Giles, not so much for what Spike might do but for what Buffy might do! She is like a tigress protecting her cub! Great update! Is Buffy going to go off on Willow for letting Angelus out? yeah, buffy is more of a threat to giles than spike is...willow and giles both have a lot to answer for...   Lou Retribution 03/07/2006 11:53 am Couldn't happen to a nicer girl! lol...yep she had it coming didn't she?   Athenewolfe Retribution 03/07/2006 05:14 am yummy torture! (well yes I know I am weird) So glad that each of them get to face thier demons - Spike can take down Faith for her actions towards him and towards Dru and Buffy gets to know who killed her mom and fight him. I love this story - greay suspense and wonderfully written! lol...well if its deserved torture...or consentual torture... lol j/k ;) thanx for review   just_sue Retribution 03/07/2006 04:36 am Oooh! It's getting to the nitty gritty now! Come one, Buffy, whip that evil git's ass and dance in his dust! Er, sorry, got carried away with my anti-Angel feelings! I hope Spike has a good mouthwash to get rid of the taste of Faith from his mouth, 'cos ewww! The cries of agony from Faith are making me smile though - am I the only one? Still loving this one, Jessi, and expecting some more surprises from up your sleeve. Hugs, sweetie. lol..yeah spike's gonna have to do some serious oral hygiene after this!! no, i think everyone is glad to see her suffer after all the pain she's caused...which was my goal glad you are enjoying this   MarzBar Retribution 03/07/2006 12:18 am Go Spike!! Is Buffy going to dust Angelus then go home and get rid of Willow? Willow needs to find someplace else to live and somebody else to support her. More story please.. yeah, willow needs some serious help...you'll see what happens in the last few chapters!!   Karyn Retribution 03/06/2006 10:14 pm wow! great chapter! thanx   Megan Retribution 03/06/2006 08:10 pm Wow. Angel so easily forgets all he did. Typical! yep...it wasn't like buffy wouldn't have been justified in sending him to hell anyway!!   lilmamaday Retribution 03/06/2006 08:09 pm I am glad that for once Spike isn't letting his anger overtake him and is making her pay for all that she has done to him and those that he loved! I just hope that Buffy won't look at him any differently after this! Where is Giles while all this is going on? He seems to have disappeared, I would have thought that he would be trying to help Buffy take out Angelus, especially if he heard the remark that Angelus made about killing Joyce! I am loving this story more and more with each chapter and you just keep me guessing! I can't wait to see how it ends! Giles is still there, he'll show up again next chappie and i think Buffy's gonna understand... i'd be more worried about how she's gonna look at Giles!! so glad you're enjoying this!   pfeifferpack Retribution 03/06/2006 07:22 pm Gotta say she has asked for it. I'm not too much for revenge but if it was ever deserved it is in this case. Great update. Kathleen thanx...i thought she deserved it   vladt Retribution 03/06/2006 06:52 pm i always had a soft spot for faith. in this well written story, i have no sympathy. good read, thanks i did too in the show...glad i could make her believeably evil   SpaceLord Retribution 03/06/2006 06:30 pm Well a lot of blood in this one. Now I want more and I want it now yep...but it's been a long time coming...more next chappie!!   Morrigan Retribution 03/06/2006 06:27 pm Hehehe Faith in pain... So delicious! *L* isn't it?? ;) she has had it coming!!   Shadow Retribution 03/06/2006 06:26 pm oooo Angelus stakeage and faith-torture... LOVE IT! thanks   Irishrose Retribution 03/06/2006 06:21 pm um, owwie? LOL, not that she didn't really diserve it. And I hope Buffy kicks Angel's butt! oh she sooo deserved that!!! and don't worry she will!   pfeifferpack Fighting for Vengeance 03/06/2006 01:11 pm Oh dear, Angelus! Things are going to get messy I think! Wonderful update. Typical of Spike in love....Buffy's needs over his own. Hope Giles has been paying attention here. Maybe Angelus can drain Willow before Buffy stakes him (killing two dangerous birds with one stone so to speak). Look forward to your updates. Kathleen yep, gonna get complicated before the end...Willow drainage could be of the good...lol...thanx for review   Athenewolfe Fighting for Vengeance 03/06/2006 03:46 am lovely chapter I can't wait to see how this plays out. I am happy that Giles was good hehe - I know i know I changed my mind... but this was just so well done! I loved everything the anticipation, the twists - fab fab thanx so much, so glad you like it even though it wasn't how you thought... thanx for review   vladt Fighting for Vengeance 03/05/2006 12:59 am good update, thanks the enjoyable read. thanx for review   lilmamaday Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 07:40 pm Wow! I can't wait to see what happens next! I am glad that Giles was really on Buffy's side! You had me worried there for a moment! I really hope that Buffy can get to Spike or signal Spike about Angelus's oncoming attack! so glad you are enjoying the story...had ya going for a little while, though, huh? ;) lol thanx for review   MarzBar Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 07:15 pm Did Willow want Angelus to kill Buffy and let Faith win? I know she's pissed but is she crazy and/or stupid? More story please. no, that wasn't exactly what she had in mind...it was a reasonably innocent mistake, though motivated by her hatred of spike, that made her believe angelus more easily   Oracleholly Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 05:45 pm Okay, the last chapter you had me panicking, but this relieved me somewhat. You really know how to keep the tension going in this. Brilliant, sweetie. lol...sorry to have scared you...all part of my evil plan muah-hah-hah-hah! ;) lol   SpaceLord Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 05:41 pm Yay an all out fight with Angelus this oughta be fun. Wonder if Spike will get his revenge on Faith and kill her himself? we'll see ;)   Morrigan Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 05:25 pm Ooh, gripping chapter, I absolutely loved it!  Is Buffy gonna stop Angel before he gets to Spike?  Yikes! thanx so much, glad you liked it...we'll see what happens next ;)   Karyn Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 05:23 pm *hides eyes* eek! tell me when it's over, rofl um...its gonna be soon lol   Lou Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 04:15 pm I thought it was going too well! Sooo exciting!! lol...thanx so much, so glad you're into it   Catrine Fighting for Vengeance 03/04/2006 03:34 pm Amazing story, I can`t wait to see what happens next. thanx so much, glad you are enjoying it   vladt Struggle for Mastery 03/05/2006 12:51 am great update, keep the suspence going . love the fic. thanx so much, glad you like it   lilmamaday Struggle for Mastery 03/04/2006 07:36 pm OMG! This chapter was great and now I am off to read the next! thanx so much so glad you liked it   Cewcew Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 09:57 pm No!! Buffy! Spike has so got to get even with that BI*CH Fath. oh he will, i promise   Athenewolfe Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 05:05 pm excellant sweetie thanx   pfeifferpack Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 03:14 pm Gaaahhh soooo not good for our dashing duo! You're still playing the is he/isn't he card with Giles quite well. I'm 99.9% sure he's on Buffy's side but there is that .1% of doubt there. Nice believable suspense there. Hard to pull off and you've done it. Waiting the Angelus angle too. I suspect Redwolf50 will get his fondest wish for a dusty end for Buffy's first love in this story *G*. Excellent update. K thanx so much, glad you are enjoying it...i think by now most people have figured it out but i still wanna keep a little uncertainty there   Karyn Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 10:15 am screams NOOOOOO!!! oh god oh god oh god, *whimpers* *ducks head* sorry ... not   Lou Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 05:32 am Yikes - you can't leave it there, now can you? Cruelty worthy of Angelus! don't worry, more soon   just sue Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 04:07 am Mighty cruel of you to stop just there! I love it! Need more, Jessi, like now! Thanks ever so and trusting that another chappie is on its way. it is...thanx so much for review   MarzBar Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 02:56 am ACK!! Who is coming to Buffy's rescue? I cannot believe Buffy lost to Faith. More story please. more story coming up... thanx for review   Morrigan Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 02:21 am Damn it!  @#%*@!(%)#*!!!!  What's gonna happen now?????? you'll see ;)   Megan Struggle for Mastery 03/03/2006 01:44 am Oh My God. You have got to be kidding me. I don't know whether to hate this fic or love it. YOu certainly have no shortages of twists and cliffhangers, and yet I'm hanging out for each new chapter. Faith has to get it somehow. And SOON! go with the fic-loving ;) lol Faith is gonna get it, i promise....but don't you think thath after all she's done to him, spike deserves to be the one to take her down? ;)   lilmamaday Shift of Power 03/02/2006 08:34 pm It appears that Giles has a few tricks up his sleeve! I can't wait to see what happens when Buffy gets into the clearing! Please update soon! thanx for review...not too much longer to wait now   letitia Shift of Power 03/02/2006 10:15 am ooohhhhh.. what will happen next?

I will update the website today with this... the first three days of my new job were brutal! lol *huggles* lol...hope your job gets better *hugs back*...thanx for review   Lou Shift of Power 03/02/2006 06:00 am Yikes - there's a mughty storm a'brewing!! So exciting! And what kind of a dope has Willow become? i always thought she was kind of a dope...lol   Cewcew Shift of Power 03/01/2006 10:38 pm NO!!! Im hangen on this cliff by my bleeding nails! You are such a tease! more soon? of course there's always more soon, you know   MarzBar Shift of Power 03/01/2006 09:49 pm OMG!! How many cliffies can you leave in one chapter?? We need more soon. lol...i'm going for a record ;) thanx for review   Morrigan Shift of Power 03/01/2006 09:08 pm Icky... Spike has Faith breath.  Hehe...  All's fair in love and war.  Great chapter! lol...that may be the least of his problems... thanx for review   vladt Shift of Power 03/01/2006 08:28 pm will not have to worry if giles or angel is going to be the traitor, buffy is going to muck everything up. this a very enjoyable read. thanks lol...maybe so..glad you are enjoying it   Karyn Shift of Power 03/01/2006 07:09 pm *whew* was getting nervous again...now just have to see what angel/us is gonna do! eck! you've stopped being nervous? i'm failing in my duty!! :0 lol   pfeifferpack Shift of Power 03/01/2006 06:51 pm Yes, Buffy in "no one messes with my boyfriend" mode! Woo hoo. Of course Angelus is on the way thanks to Willow. Perhaps the little witch needs a good draining since she can't seem to get past her anger. Poor Spike needs massive cuddles (naturally, in the interests of humane treatment of vampires I humbly volunteer). Excellent update as always! Kathleen i am pro-Willow draining at this point...lol...and spike will get the cuddles he needs, i promise   ComedyofErrors A Test of Trust 03/01/2006 12:37 pm Trouble brewing along nicely. thanx   Morrigan A Test of Trust 03/01/2006 03:24 am Still enjoying this roller coaster.  I know Willow is gonna screw something up, again, though. you're so right..thanx for review   Cewcew A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 11:16 pm NO! Willow dont do it! too late   MarzBar A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 04:01 pm OMG! You are so cruel! Spike is being mistreated by Faith AGAIN with Giles' help and the vengeful Willow is releasing Angelus. WTF is Buffy going to be able to do against Faith, a bunch of minions and no Spike? More soon please. you will soon see lol   vladt A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 03:24 pm great update. cannot really believe anything willow and angel do can be good. thanks for the fun. glad you are enjoying it, thanx for review   Athenewolfe A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 03:17 pm hmmm... angel is bad and giles good... both bad.... hmmmm what of what is the truth? will be revealed soon   SpaceLord A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 03:15 pm Oh yeah leave it to Willow to fuck things up good and proper. pretty much :/   letitia A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 11:47 am first of all Giles is just wrong all over. I just hope that Willow is not dumb enough to help Angel just becuase they took her powers away. I hope Buffy can help Spike get out of this. Love the update. yeah, regardless of his motives giles is wrong to do what he's doing...thanx for review   Karyn A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 10:19 am oh god no! shit she's gonna do it ...aghhh!! lol   just sue A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 10:12 am Don't do it Willow! *gulps* Excellent chapter and my fear level is rising all the time! Eagerly awaiting more, Jessi. Thanks ever so. so glad you are so into it...thanx for review   lilmamaday A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 10:06 am Just when you thought that Willow was neutralized.....I just know that this is a really bad idea! I am hating Faith even more than I already did and I am hoping that Giles redeams himself here soon! faith-hateage was the goal...lol...as to the other two...not revealing my goal yet ;)   Lou A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 09:37 am And this Willow's just dopey enough to go along with this!! Eeeek! yep...   Pin A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 08:09 am Another twist- excellent! I can't wait to see what happens next - what is Giles' big plan? Safe to say, Spike will never trust him again after this is over, assuming he survives. Great story, thanks! you're probably right about that, regardless of the outcome...thanx for great review   neo_trinityknot A Test of Trust 02/28/2006 07:53 am Wow, Willow is a moron i agree   Morrigan Preparations 02/27/2006 06:53 am Ahhh!  One minute, I think Giles is evil...  The next, I am not sure... maybe he has some sort of plan...  Then, now, I think he's probably evil, all over again!  *shakes head*  I'm so confused!  *L*  Evil... evil... cliffie! you will see soon...glad you are into it   Pin Preparations 02/27/2006 12:55 am Excellent chapter! You have me completely baffled as to whether Giles is the evil partner or not. He sure is acting suspicious and his zapping of Spike at every step is totally freaking me out. If he isn't bad, than I sure want to hear his justification for leaving SPike all night with crazy Faith! Great story and as always, I can't wait to see what happens next. I have my fingers crossed that Buffy's love of Spike will help him through the events of the night. Thanks! thanx, so glad you are liking it...the idea is to keep everybody guessing...but we're almost to the end now, just a few more chapters, so the waiting is almost over   MarzBar Preparations 02/27/2006 12:50 am ACK!! Evil, evil cliffie! WTF is Giles doing? He keeps putting spells on Spike and now I'm even more worried about this ritual affair. lol...sorry...not...but I will reveal all before long   Megan Preparations 02/26/2006 11:46 pm Gahhhh, this fic makes my gut clench horribly and never gives me relief. Brava to Buffy for finally having the courage to admit to herself and Spike how she feels. Maybe before it all goes spectacularly pear-shaped (?assumption, I know!)they'll be okay because they have the confidence in each other. If Giles doesn't get Spike killed first. yes, they will need their love to get through this night...glad you are enjoying it   vladt Preparations 02/26/2006 11:04 pm the tale is getting better and better. who is the evil one? you keep me bouncing back and forth, and i love it great update. thanks glad to keep you guessing and liking the story thanx   lilmamaday Preparations 02/26/2006 08:21 pm You evil writer you! You give us a chapter where it looks like everything is going good, Buffy realizes that she loves Spike, they tell each other and then WHAM! Cliffhanger that has bad vibes all over it! Please update soon! Still loving the story! lol..that was kind of the idea...don't worry i will update soon   ComedyofErrors Preparations 02/26/2006 06:26 pm Darn it. But very sweet, tender scenes between Spike and Buffy. thanx, glad you liked them   Irishrose Preparations 02/26/2006 06:25 pm Ugh! I've died and gone to hell. That's got to be it. No other plausible excuse. *g* lol...it's not that bad really i promise...hang on til next chapter   neo_trinityknot Preparations 02/26/2006 05:29 pm You've got me running in circles! good   neo_trinityknot Preparations 02/26/2006 05:28 pm You've got me running in circles! good   Karyn Preparations 02/26/2006 05:01 pm *screams* not the spell again *whimpers* i am so hating Giles! lol...sorry...glad you're into it though   SpaceLord Preparations 02/26/2006 04:49 pm Well who is the traitor? What ever will we do know....I can't wait....keep it coming we will soon see glad you like it   Athenewolfe Preparations 02/26/2006 04:34 pm great update sweetie - cant wait to see how this plays out ... who to trust! you don't have long to wait now ;)   MarzBar Surrender 02/24/2006 05:51 pm She got lucky; what about Spike? What is waiting for him from Faith, Angelus and/or Giles? More story please. yeah but i think he kind of needed that too ...wait and see...thanx for review   Athenewolfe Surrender 02/24/2006 03:52 pm nice chappie! thanx   lilmamaday Surrender 02/24/2006 08:54 am That was a great chapter! I loved the way she proved her trust in him because we all know that you can never go wrong with hot Spuffy loving! I am glad to see that Spike was all there with her and not suffering from any other "Faith" flashbacks or terrors. Loving the story, please update soon! lol...yeah thought you guys might like the method she chose ;) lol...glad you are enjoying it   Karyn Surrender 02/23/2006 07:20 pm ohhh wonderful chapter! loveeeeeeddd it! lol... thanx   vladt Surrender 02/23/2006 05:56 pm sexy and sweet, and trusting, good timing for spike. very good update, thanks i thought the timing was what he needed thanx   pfeifferpack Surrender 02/23/2006 04:02 pm Hot and satisfying. Loved her giving Spike the power and confidence back even if she has no idea how badly he needed it! Oh yeah, it's love. Kathleen yeah, she really didn't know what a good thing she was doing for him there...thanx for good review   SpaceLord Surrender 02/23/2006 03:34 pm Well another fine smutty chapter lol thanx   pfeifferpack Ghosts and Shadows 02/23/2006 04:00 pm Oh yeah....good Buffy, bad bad Faith! Giles...the jury's still out I think. I've got the feeling Giles is there at the behest of the Council to do in Faith and is cool to Buffy because of her disappearance. It seems Giles is seeing things in Spike that surprise him and he may well be in Spike's corner when it is all over. Love arrogant Angel expecting Buffy to fall into his arms filled with adoration! Love that she's not interested and is actually THINKING! Excellent. Kathleen lol...yeah...this buffy is too smart to fall for stupid angel twice...lol thanx for great review   Typerbabe57 Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 10:06 pm Wonderful chapter! I loved Giles' compassion, which is kind of an odd way to feel considering what he allowed Spike to go through--but apparently there was no other way to maintain Faith's trust...and Giles wasn't terribly thrilled about the whole thing either. I also loved Buffy's response to Spike's "freaking out" episode, allowing him to have control for a change. Enjoyed it thoroughly, as always! thanx...that's kind of what i was going for with Giles...like a "want to hate him for what he did but can't quite" sort of feeling...if that makes sense...lol...glad you are enjoying it   vladt Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 05:19 pm very good update, wonderful chapter ending. thanks thanx, glad you liked it   lilmamaday Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 09:26 am Well its good to know that Giles is not really on Faith's side but my god, poor Spike! Even with not remembering (as it seemed that he didn't when he was talking to Buffy) that phrase threw him into a panic! I just want to gut Faith while she is still alive and let her hold her insides in her hands while she dies.....or make her stay locked for all eternity in a cage with Angel! Please update soon! lol...stuck with angel would be a good punishment....yeah poor Spike, i know Faith deserves all you said and worse !! ;)   ComedyofErrors Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 08:44 am Very good on Buffy, responding to Spike's needs even though she doesn't fully understand. I had wondered if that was Giles's plan. Shiver-worthy. yeah, buffy gets the basic idea, she just doesnt know that what he's dealin with is as recent as it is....thanx for review   Athenewolfe Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 06:06 am Wow - you have woven this extremely well - I have no clue who is the bad guy now - could Giles be planning a double cross on Faith - or is he really bad. Is angel bad or good. I don't know any more. LOL you keep tying me up in knots on this story! Excellant excallant ficcie! thanx so much, glad you are liking it...confusion is my intent, for now...lol...but all will be revealed soon   Lou Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 05:04 am The perfect medecine! You are so clever!! thanx   Morrigan Ghosts and Shadows 02/22/2006 01:15 am Great move, on Buffy's part.  Yay, her!  WTF is Giles playing at, anyway? oh yeah...just what spike needs   Karyn Ghosts and Shadows 02/21/2006 10:53 pm ohhhh! *eyes wide* me !! me !! i want a turn!...lol great chappie! i'm in line ahead of you, karyn   MarzBar Ghosts and Shadows 02/21/2006 10:10 pm ACK!! We still don't know for sure who is Faith's secret partner. WTF is wrong with Buffy that she doesn't ask Spike about Angel's story? Did Giles take away Spike's memory of the last night of torture? You are getting more evil. well, at the moment she's a bit distracted, what with the events of the last half of this chapter...lol...i will take "you are getting more evil" as a compliment ;) lol thanx   Oracleholly Ghosts and Shadows 02/21/2006 10:07 pm Okay, you really had me worried there about Giles, and I'm not totally 100% back in his corner now. Poor Spike. That bitch!!! GRRRR I hope you have something really deliciously painful and evil cooking up for her eventual comeuppance and demise. Very cute ending. oh faith will suffer i promise... i thought that ending was appropriate   just_sue Trapped 02/20/2006 11:21 am You have created the ulimate evil Faith... and I must admit I quite like her (in a nose scrunching up sorta way). Am gonna need to understand more of Giles motivation and intent before I can figure him out. And what about Angel? Don't tell me he's a goodie (slumps shoulders if unable to go 'boo' to Angel)? Loved this chappie and am studiously avoiding thought of Spike's predicament. *thinks nice Spuffy thoughts* Loving this to bits, Jessi, and looking forward to lots more. Hugs, sweetie. xxx thanx, i'm glad i could make her a good villain...yes poor spike...glad you are loving the story   Athenewolfe Trapped 02/20/2006 09:08 am I wonder how this will resolve itself - do you think he will smell Faith on himself - what would he think of Giles and Faith then - will he be able to figure it out.,... ohhh good story! we'll see...glad you're liking the story...coming to a close soon   Lou Trapped 02/20/2006 03:27 am The things Spike has to do in the call of duty! lol...right   Morrigan Trapped 02/20/2006 02:47 am Oh no!  Ooh, I wish Faith would trip over a snag in the carpet and break her neck or something stupid like that!  A stupid death would serve her right! lol...that would be hilarious and fitting for her...not quite the poetic justice i'm going for though ;)   vladt Trapped 02/19/2006 09:44 pm very good update. still giving nothing away and torturing your worshipping readers. cruel, Evil, and i am enjoying ever word of it. thanks lol...glad you are enjoying my evilness...all will be revealed in time   Megan Trapped 02/19/2006 08:39 pm Giles scares the crap out of me. I haven't stopped vomiting over the previous Spaith. Do I need my bucket again? You are an incredible writer but your subject matter, I have difficulties. I only hope you have a twist that ends the torment soon. lol...sorry to make you physically ill...i promise you don't need to worry, that's as intense as it's going to get, anything further will be merely implied... we are nearing the end of this little tale, and Faith's well-deserved demise, i promise   lilmamaday Trapped 02/19/2006 08:28 pm I can't believe that Giles would do this to Buffy! Was he that angry at her for leaving or did he never forgive her for what happened to Jenny? I can't wait to see what happens when Spike gets back, I have to believe that he will remember something of what happened, right? wait and see   ComedyofErrors Trapped 02/19/2006 08:14 pm Faith continues to be impressively insane. Interesting Buffy/Giles conversation. thanx...i'm trying to keep her scary   pfeifferpack Betrayed 02/19/2006 11:49 am Gaaahhhh....Okay, I just startled my husband into a near wreck as I read this update (I am printing it off to keep and was reading on the way home). You are EVIL! I still think Angel is with Faith though. I notice her words to Giles aren't the lovey dovey kind she used to her phone buddy. So maybe Angel IS the one that's on her leash. Maybe Giles is working undercover and not a rat in with Faith after all. Poor Spike is being played no matter what though. You write this so well it if believable any way you work it. Excellent update. Kathleen thanks for the compliment on my stories BTW. sorry my story almost claimed your life....lol...not saying anything at this point...but you're right, either way Spike is kind of screwed here...   lilmamaday Betrayed 02/19/2006 11:25 am Wow! I never expected it to be Giles that was working with Faith! Please tell me that this is part of his plan and not actually happening! Please update soon! not telling you anything yet sorry...i'm sticking to my no comments on the plot from here on out policy   ComedyofErrors Betrayed 02/19/2006 09:46 am Hmm. Curiouser and curiouser.   Lou Betrayed 02/19/2006 07:58 am This story has more suspects than you can shake a stick at! Top stuff! lol...that's a good thing i hope glad you like it   Athenewolfe Betrayed 02/19/2006 07:19 am Does happy dance ! I know the bad guy was giles *grin* Excellant chapter - poor poor Spike! I love this fic! yes poor poor Spike glad you're loving the fic,though!   Morrigan Betrayed 02/19/2006 06:35 am Oh, man...  I have to admit, I didn't see that coming.  I mean, I DID in the beginning...  But then the whole Angel thing threw me off.  Great chapter! thanx, glad you're enjoying it   Typerbabe57 Betrayed 02/18/2006 11:02 pm Oi! All the twists and turns! Is Giles really betraying Spike?--I kinda think not, since that would mean betraying Buffy, and he did say the plan would require sacrifice--I'm just not sure if Spike knew how big of a sacrifice. Still, I can seldom anticipate the direction your stories will take--that's what makes them so much fun to read! Thanks for another great chapter. so glad to keep everybody guessing...i'm having a lot of fun with this one...i would comment more directly on your comments but i'm being very careful at this point not to give anything away at all so...thanx for the review   Cewcew Betrayed 02/18/2006 09:06 pm Bad, Bad Giles!! Poor Spike! More please. yes, poor Spike! glad you're enjoying it, i'll update soon, i promise!   vladt Betrayed 02/18/2006 09:06 pm excellent. distracting us with angel, spring giles as the villian. or is he? fun read. thanks lol...thanx for review, glad to keep everyone guessing   SpaceLord Betrayed 02/18/2006 08:51 pm Ohh the plot is thickening for sure....whatever is Giles up to? Why would he do this? mwah-hah-hah-hah   Rj Betrayed 02/18/2006 08:51 pm Wow - that's gotta be one of the evilest cliff hangers ever. This is a great story - I'm hooked on it, but really hoping this chapter was a bit of a mislead! thank you again, no comments from me on the actual plot probably from here on out...   SpaceLord Betrayed 02/18/2006 08:51 pm Ohh the plot is thickening for sure....whatever is Giles up to? Why would he do this? wait and see   linpen Betrayed 02/18/2006 08:20 pm What ever his agenda is this Giles is just scarey. Love how you are racking up the tension in this story. thanx...glad it's working   letitia Betrayed 02/18/2006 08:00 pm NOOOOOOOO... I just can't believe it...So waiting for more. lol..soon i promise   Irishrose Betrayed 02/18/2006 07:59 pm hmmm.... so now I have to ponder if Giles is acting out of the evilness of his heart, or what he perceives to be the greater good. And still no hint on Angel's part in this game, or lack thereof. But I'm definitely thinking that Spike isn't the only one who was playing both sides of the fence. more on Angel next chapter...other than that no comments on anything from me at this point lol   Karyn Betrayed 02/18/2006 07:36 pm oh, now i'm worried...*hides eyes* lol   MarzBar Betrayed 02/18/2006 07:18 pm ACK!! Are you going to have Faith torture Spike some more?? WTF is happening with Buffy and Angelus? More story soon please. you'll have to wait and see, i've reached a point in the story where i really shouldn't say anything at all...lol... don't want to give anything away...   pfeifferpack Silent Scream 02/18/2006 09:52 am Oh yes, Spike gets a bit of his own back at Willow! Great scene, well written. Love the soundproof door coming in handy (leave the spell on it *G* Actually it could come in handy for private conversations too!) I have to say I am delighted that Buffy is still keeping her bond with Spike and not abandoning him for her returned vampire in the basement! I like this Buffy and her smarts. Suspense still strong, well done. Kathleen yeah, i really don't think she would have gone for Angel again so easily when the last thing he was doing was trying to kill her, after all the nightmare he put her through before that...and unsouled Spike is helping her already, and showing feelings for her...in short, my Buffy's not as dumb as she was in the show lol   Typerbabe57 Silent Scream 02/17/2006 08:44 pm Good to see Spike get some of his own back...as well as just plain "get some"...lol! lol...yeah he needed to be able to tell her off...that was therapeutic to write lol   ComedyofErrors Silent Scream 02/17/2006 08:27 pm Excellent use of sound-proofing. Gotta love Spike and Buffy's train of thought. lol...one track minds, they've got   letitia Silent Scream 02/17/2006 08:25 pm Well is seems as if Buffy's feelings are starting to show.. And Willow has finally seen what she has put Spike through. Go gettum Giles. yeah, she's starting to open up a little...she usually only does when circumstances force her to and a bit of justice for Willow, that was fun to write   vladt Silent Scream 02/17/2006 05:49 pm good update, but still need to know what giles has in mind. and what sacrifice. thanks for the read next chapter will reveal some..but not much ;)   MarzBar Silent Scream 02/17/2006 09:39 am What's the deal with Angelus? I she going to believe him after Spike told her he didn't feel Angelus anywhere near him when he was with Faith? More story please. she's not sure what to believe at this point...time will tell   Athenewolfe Silent Scream 02/17/2006 07:32 am wonderful chappie as always sweetie. Loving the story - anxious to find out who is the bad guy! :-) thanx   Lou Silent Scream 02/17/2006 06:52 am Fabulous how Spike turned the tables on Willow! You've made me very happy. thanx glad to do it   SpaceLord Silent Scream 02/17/2006 02:40 am Ohh more smut....gotta love that....now I'm still curious about Angel, I wanna know if he's souled up or what's his deal. I'm still pretty sure he killed Joyce and don't trust him. time will tell   Morrigan Silent Scream 02/17/2006 01:31 am Whoo-hoo...  Magic *does* always have its consequences...  Looks like good ones, this time around!  Yay! lol...yep i thought that was a bit of irony that might work   vladt More Secrets and Lies 02/16/2006 07:58 pm this is fun. thanks for the read. thanx so much   Lou More Secrets and Lies 02/16/2006 09:12 am Excellent chapter - plenty of action and a top Giles! Don't let Willow stake Spike! don't worry, no chance of that   Athenewolfe More Secrets and Lies 02/16/2006 07:24 am OMG poor Spike LOL - NOOO I don;'t know who it is whose bad... is it Giles, is it Angel..... Okay I am stubbornly sticking to Giles. He is the bad guy i know it! He could have offered to do the truth spell but he didn't. Angel is being his normal didiot self... really I am convinced.... well I think I am anyway... LOL let you know later... umm really good - have me all twisted up inside! lol...you'll just have to wait to see...Angel is being his idiot self, but that doesn't make him not evil.. glad you are so into this   Morrigan More Secrets and Lies 02/16/2006 04:27 am You nailed Angel/Angelus's sickening sweet I'm such a nice boy act.  Loved that Spike was giving Buffy the long stare that was returned in front of him.  Hehehe lol...thanx...i always hated that about Angel...glad you liked that little part, i thought that would be fun to put in there   Cewcew More Secrets and Lies 02/15/2006 11:28 pm Im starting to think its not Angel or Giles. Or, or its Both! Oh, Oh! Is it Riley? lol...are you mixing up my two stories lol   Thianna More Secrets and Lies 02/15/2006 10:59 pm getting more and more interesting thanx   pfeifferpack More Secrets and Lies 02/15/2006 10:50 pm Still keeping us guessing aren't you dear! Both fellas stories are possible....my money is still on Angel being in league with Faith but I'm far from certain. Excellent update. Glad Giles helped Spike but am a bit concerned about how the wound in his chest was feeling worse, not better until Giles was permitted to use his magics. Hum........ Kathleen lol...you are very observant ;) thanx for review   vladt Helpless 02/16/2006 07:47 pm one, temporarily down, one to go. great update. thanks for the rread. lol...thanx for reading   ComedyofErrors Helpless 02/15/2006 08:28 pm Ha! I knew it was Angelus! I'm now all too pleased with myself. I'm quite impressed by your evil!Willow writing ability. You keep her balanced between sadism and insanity. And Go Giles! I love fics in which Giles takes an active role. still saying nothing ;) thanx, glad you like my evil-Willow...she is fun to write even though she's scary...thanx so much for positive feedback   Athenewolfe Helpless 02/14/2006 05:26 pm AHHH no update yet - I need to know! Need to know ----ahhhhhhh! patience...patience...   pfeifferpack Helpless 02/14/2006 02:18 pm Oh dear! Just as I was shouting out "Yes! I KNEW it was Angeus, the b@st@rd!"....you had to make me really nervous about Giles! Naughty, naughty girl you! Exceptional chapter filled with suspense and plot movement. You have made it quite believable for Faiths accomplice to be either Angel OR Giles (or both for hat matter). I think the biggest threat was Willow and her hatred however. Poor Spike is really in a nest of vipers and now Buffy will be torn over her "love" for Angel and her growing feelings for Spike. Wowza. Kathleen lol...that's what i'm trying for keeping you guessing thanx so much, glad you are liking it   Lou Helpless 02/14/2006 07:00 am Well thank God for Giles!! I thought Spike was a goner. Willow is seriously disturbed. yeah...the girl needs help... thanx   SpaceLord Helpless 02/14/2006 03:48 am So how did Angel get an invite? Is he the traitor and a liar? I guess I'll have to stay tuned for the next episode ;) not telling ;)   Morrigan Helpless 02/14/2006 03:08 am Ha!  Powerless Willow.  Oh, that's gotta sting!  Can't wait for more. yep....i love it...thanx   akarinacj Helpless 02/14/2006 01:26 am Ahhh. Now you really got me all nervous. So many things happening at ones!!!. This was a really great chapter, one of your best I think. The best part for me was when Buffy realized that Angel came in to the house without invitation... Yay. I hope she comes to the correct conclusions. And did I tell you that I love Giles??? Well at least in this story I doo.:-)) thanx so much, glad you liked it... i'm trying to keep everybody guessing...i'm glad you like Giles, he's kind of hard to write without coming off as..well...too much, you know? thanx so much for good review   MarzBar Helpless 02/13/2006 09:26 pm ARRGH! Giles and/or Angelus?? How fast can Buffy's brain work around the "I love Angel - Angel loves me" crap in order to save herself? More story please. hopefully fast enough *rolls eyes at Buffy's Angel hang-ups*... more story coming up!   kimbclar Helpless 02/13/2006 09:19 pm Argh! Who's bad Giles or Angel? Now I am so confused. Great chapter. not telling ;)   Cewcew Helpless 02/13/2006 08:57 pm Oh GOD! the suspense is so guna kill me! This story is just becoming fabulisticy awsome! Im reading like all the wips right now, and this one is just so climbing to the top of the charts. thanx so much...glad you are enjoying it so much   Jenna Helpless 02/13/2006 08:35 pm Woohoo! Awesome twists in the story. You completely surprised me several times. Can't wait to see what you do next. thanx so much, glad im able to keep you guessing   Irishrose Helpless 02/13/2006 08:20 pm ohhhh.... so who is evil and who isn't? Such wonderful questions you leave unanswered! unanswered for a little while longer ;)   neo_trinityknot Helpless 02/13/2006 08:10 pm I wanna know what happened to Buffy! next chappie ;)   Athenewolfe Helpless 02/13/2006 08:00 pm heheh yeah tell me giles is the bad guy! I knew it ! Does happy dance me want bad guy Giles! (you do realize if he is not I am going to be crushed lOL) i'm not saying anything yet ;)   vladt Broken Trust 02/16/2006 07:23 pm it's not bad enough to have willow to hate, but you bring in angel. wonderful, thanks for the fun read. lol...yep... thanx for review, glad you are enjoying it   Lou Broken Trust 02/13/2006 09:34 am Big time confrontations on the horizon!!!!! Excellent! yep...lots of drama...gotta love it   MarzBar Broken Trust 02/12/2006 09:11 pm Oy vey! Buffy's stay in LA did not do anything for her ability to judge people and their actual intentions. The Wankers' Council must have succeeded in training a mindless killing machine. The story is still scary. And you added Angelus into the mix. nope...Buffy never saw anything in anyone that she didn't want to see...glad you're still into this thanx for review   neo_trinityknot Broken Trust 02/12/2006 04:21 pm Poor naive Buffy yep...too trusting, but only of the wrong people!!   Irishrose Broken Trust 02/12/2006 01:43 pm uh oh! Poor Spike all alone with Willow and Buffy very obviously elseise detained. This does not bode well! nope...doesn't look good   pfeifferpack Broken Trust 02/12/2006 11:41 am Oh poor Spike, just what he needs....Angelus added to his lethal mix! i'm still betting on him being Faths little love toy....they always did connect and he has reason to be angry with both Buffy and Spike. Willow is liable to mess them all up with her nearsightedness where Spike is concerned. So intent on revenge against Spike, she might just miss the real threat! Excellent update (Spike may be in more danger here than in Belonging! At least there only Riley wants him miserable and dusted). Kathleen oh, yeah, Spike is definitely in more danger in this world than in Belonging! no comment yet as to who Faith's partner is ;) thanx so much for review   Morrigan Broken Trust 02/12/2006 05:27 am And the badness just keeps coming! yep...poor Spikey ;(   Athenewolfe Broken Trust 02/12/2006 05:10 am Hmmm I still think Giles is in evil vampire... but I concede that is might be angelus and this is all a trick... nope still giles... wonder what they did to angel - bet it is a distraction.... great cahpter sweetie - updated so the story is all current on the web *Huggles* --- and willow is still scary! no telling yet ;) thanx so much for reviewing and updating...   Cewcew Broken Trust 02/12/2006 02:06 am Im so conflicted! Is it Angel, is it Giles, is it Angel, is it Giles. Ug, Who's the bad guy! more please. I'm not telling ;)   Lou The Enemy Within 02/13/2006 09:30 am Bloody hell!!!! There's not much they can do to stop Willow - I don't see many signs of a better nature to appeal to! lol..nope...she's too consumed with vengeance at the moment   Athenewolfe The Enemy Within 02/11/2006 05:06 pm willow scary - me like scary willow - runs off giggling - wonderful chappie wow...thanx for the good...slightly scary...review ;) lol   pfeifferpack The Enemy Within 02/11/2006 02:32 pm Gaaaahhhhhh......DarthWillow after Spike, this can't be good for anyone. Great chapter. I'm glad Spike decided to tell Buffy no matter what happens. I love that she is already softening to him in general and being a comfort. Kathleen thanx so much for review...yep, scary Willow could be a problem for them...   MarzBar The Enemy Within 02/11/2006 11:06 am OMG! They are all at Willow's mercy now (if she has any). Buffy has once again been deliberately ignorant of what is going on around her. More story please. yep...she pretty much sees only what she wants to see   Morrigan The Enemy Within 02/11/2006 04:54 am Oh man...  That's creepy! thanx *evil grin*   Typerbabe57 The Enemy Within 02/11/2006 03:26 am Talk about being screwed! Either way the poor guy turns he faces "violent, gruesome torture and death." I don't know how Buffy can protect him against magic, either. I love the cliffhangers in your stories, even though they make me crazy waiting for the next update. Hmmm, that's the point, innit? Great update, thanks! lol..yup the point exactly I'm so glad you're enjoying the story...yeah poor Spike :\ we'll have to see how things turn out for him   akarinacj The Enemy Within 02/11/2006 02:46 am Uff. Spike doesn´t have it easy...at all. Poor him. But I´m glad he told Buffy. Now you got me all nervous thinking about if Willow is really black Willow or not. I liked Spike´s brake down a lot,where he tells Buffy about his fears and that he did kill Oz, but it was in "self defense". Update soon please. yeah...i'm kinda aiming for that, a little bit of question...cause she *did* lose the person she loved, and Spike *did* kill him... so *some* hostility is normal...question is how far will she go...glad you are enjoying it thanx   ComedyofErrors Power 02/09/2006 06:25 pm *shivers* Scary Willow. You write her well. thanx so much i like writing her, she's fun to write   letitia Power 02/09/2006 06:51 am okay, Willow is freaky. And I really hope Spike does tell Buffy what is going on. They can't have any secrets from each other if this thing is going to work. Great update. i agree...we'll see though   Lou Power 02/09/2006 04:38 am Jeez that's one scary, creepy Willow. She needs to get over herself. thanx, was aiming for scary creepy Willow   Morrigan Power 02/09/2006 03:26 am Ooh, yucky scary willow! thanx...i think ;)   akarinacj Power 02/09/2006 02:44 am Great chapter. I liked very much the interaction between Willow and Spike, and as I see it, yes poor Spike, but bad Willow can also be used as a great weapon against Faith...Just lets hope that Willows anger goes against the one who is to blame (Faith) and not Spike. I like that Buffy is not so mean to Spike anymore. Hope you update soon. yeah...Willow can put some major hurt on, if she'd put it on the right person   SpaceLord Power 02/09/2006 02:16 am Ohh scary Willow, that is bad news. yep...like Spike needs anyone else trying to kill him   pfeifferpack Power 02/08/2006 10:49 pm "He already heard the bloody soundtrack, love. Maybe he'd like to see the movie, yeah?" he teased her. ~~~ LOL.....Love the playfulness in amidst the drama. Very, very scary WIllow. You have her voice as Darth Rosenberg perfectly here. Much as I suspect you have no plans to dust Spike I have to wonder with that much hatred coming from the powerful witch with a vengeance urge. Should be interesting to see how these two come through this one. Excellent update. Look forward to more. Kathleen thanx so much as i have said before i love writing scary Willow because as a character for the most part, she's just so *good*...and that makes it even more frightening when she's *bad* so glad you're enjoying it thanx for kind review   vladt Power 02/08/2006 08:16 pm good update,thanks. really had enough of willow. any chance you are going to do something about? hmm...what would you suggest ;)   Athenewolfe Power 02/08/2006 07:43 pm wow willow is super scary *shudders* she scares me lol thanx means i'm doing something right   MarzBar Power 02/08/2006 07:23 pm Good grief! Do we have black veiny Willow now? Pretty scary. This whole story is scary. More scares soon please. come on now, don't tell me you didn't see scary-Willow coming? ;) lol thanx for review   ComedyofErrors The Secret 02/08/2006 08:37 am Darn little details. Very fun. i had lots of fun writing this chappie hehe thanx for review   letitia The Secret 02/08/2006 07:08 am Love that game they played. I just hope they can continue to grow and enjoy each other before the cat is really out of the bag. Love the update. thanx...that chapter was fun to write   Lou The Secret 02/08/2006 02:46 am That was hilarious! thanx   Cewcew The Secret 02/07/2006 10:44 pm OMG! Busted! good thing the Scoobies are always so clueless, huh?   vladt The Secret 02/07/2006 09:26 pm great update, i nearly typed wonderful, but i seem to be overusing that word this evening. maybe it is just a wonderful day to read updates. thanks glad you're enjoying it, thanx so much   Irishrose The Secret 02/07/2006 08:28 pm LMAO! I was wondering about those chains. Very cute! thanx   MarzBar The Secret 02/07/2006 07:59 pm Teeheehee!! I hope her friends are as clueless as they have always been. More story please. lol...yep the Scoobies are pretty clueless   Morrigan The Secret 02/07/2006 07:18 pm *LOL!*  That was good!  I am sitting here all by myself, laughing like a nut!  You go, girl! lol...glad i could make you laugh! thanx   Athenewolfe The Secret 02/07/2006 06:30 pm oops? Chains! uh-oh   SpaceLord The Secret 02/07/2006 06:16 pm Ohh the smut just keeps coming and coming ;) So is there going to be alot more smut or is the story gonna continue now....I still wanna know who Faiths secret buddy is. *sigh* okay, okay, back to the actual plot!! lol ;)   Athenewolfe Forgotten 02/07/2006 06:34 pm very sweet - i really enjjoyed this chappie! thanx so much   letitia Forgotten 02/07/2006 10:23 am I am just glad that they are showing the other just a little glimpse of their souls. Love how they are able to comfort each other and be honest with each other right now. thanx...i thought they needed a little comfort in the middle of all this trouble   Morrigan Forgotten 02/07/2006 06:26 am Awww... that got me. thanx   Lou Forgotten 02/07/2006 05:10 am God I love it when they are honest with each other - absolutely yummy! Hopefully it'll give them strength - I think they're going to need it! Um...yeah...cause there's no one who's really gonna be happy about this but them, is there?   katakata Forgotten 02/06/2006 10:00 pm Oh lovely...a really poignant resolution to the last chapter while still signposting a new phase perhaps in their story. Thing is - what will the Scoobies think about these two and their activities when (or indeed IF) they find out what's been going on? I'm particularly interested in what kind of reaction Xander will have as tolerant-mature-and-understanding-Xander has been a real pleasure to get to know thus far. Please don't send him away *Looks up at you beseechingly from beneath her lashes and offers a timidly encouraging smile* LOL! More soon please 8-) Yes...I always liked Xander and hated it when the show turned him into a bigoted jealous jerk... glad you enjoyed the chapter, I was aiming for poignant ;) thanx   vladt Forgotten 02/06/2006 09:56 pm wonderful follow to previous chapter. thanks yeah i thought the last chapter needed a bit of exploration   pfeifferpack Forgotten 02/06/2006 09:28 pm Excellent chapter. I still have a feeling Angel is going to be Faith's accomplice though and Buffy will have to reevaluate her forever feelings for him. You write a tender yet strong Spike....love your stories. Kathleen thanx, glad you like them, your kind words make my day no telling yet on who the accomplice is ;)   MarzBar Forgotten 02/06/2006 09:13 pm Nice scene. I hope they can keep this insight while pretending to hate each other for the benefit of the "friends." Is Giles a friend? Is Angelus the bad guy? More story please. you'll have to wait and see thanx   ComedyofErrors Forgotten 02/06/2006 08:20 pm Truly brilliant dialogue. I can't express how impressed I am wiht the way you balanced the insecurities of both these characters, allowing the comfort needed to flow. thanx for the compliment...that chapter was kinda tough lol... i wanted to give some sort of emotional explanation for the events of the last chapter, and bring out hero and heroine closer... anyway, glad you're enjoying it!!   Irishrose Forgotten 02/06/2006 06:44 pm awww.....that was absolutely wonderful. A very touching chapter! thanx so much...that's what i was going for!   akarinacj Forgotten 02/06/2006 06:32 pm Very good chapter. I liked it a lot. Thank you for updating everyday. :-) thanx...not quite every day lately, what with RL and all... lol...but glad you're enjoying it!   Morrigan Hush 02/06/2006 11:19 pm Hot hot hot! thanx   Lou Hush 02/06/2006 05:08 am Boloody hell!!! That's one saucy minx of a Buffy - Was she always like this or does Spike bring out the best in her? I think it's Spike   ComedyofErrors Hush 02/05/2006 07:51 pm Excellent chapter name. Good scene with Buffy dominant. It will be interesting to see how well the secret is kept. I love dominant Buffy or maybe i just like Spike in chains... hmmm... ;)   vladt Hush 02/05/2006 02:09 pm great update, four or five chapters like this and then you may update yhe plot. ok? thanks for the read thanx, glad you're liking it   vladt Hush 02/05/2006 02:08 pm great update, four or five chapters like this and then you may update yhe plot. ok? thanks for the read LOL...I don't think either of them could take four or five chapters like this...not in a row, anyway ;) lol   neo_trinityknot Hush 02/05/2006 08:49 am I dont think they were quiet enough probably not :-\ lol... we'll see ;)   Athenewolfe Hush 02/05/2006 07:18 am excellant update sweeite ... yummm sex in chains... *giggles* fab so fab! sex with *Spike* in chains...yep...I had fun writing that chappie   just_sue Hush 02/05/2006 07:01 am Wow, wow, wow!

Can I please have a turn? More story please. Me first ;)   Morrigan Losing Control 02/04/2006 04:15 pm Yay for kinky vampire bondage sex! i am getting more review-mileage out of that line.... lol   ComedyofErrors Losing Control 02/04/2006 12:36 pm Wicked, wicked Buffy. I like the snap of the tension between them and the menace of Willow. Excellent. yeah...this side of Buffy is fun to write glad you're enjoying it   vladt Losing Control 02/04/2006 12:24 pm love the chapter, thanks thanks, glad you like it   SpaceLord Losing Control 02/04/2006 03:34 am Ohh bondage time yep   Athenewolfe Losing Control 02/04/2006 02:50 am OMG wonderful line. Who said anything aboutthe floor *snicker* can't wait tor the next update! thanx I liked that line myself .... lol   Irishrose Losing Control 02/04/2006 02:44 am great update1 thanx   Irishrose Losing Control 02/04/2006 02:43 am mmmm, yummy! I love it! lol thanx!   MarzBar Scheming 02/03/2006 01:04 pm Is there anybody in this AU who is not after Spike at this point (stakes notwithstanding)? Once again, Willow is terribly dangerous, totally untrustworthy and out for vengeance. That part is not so AU. This is a scary story. yep, I love writing evil Willow... I always thought she was the scariest villain on the whole show...glad you're enjoying the story   vladt Scheming 02/03/2006 01:02 pm good chapter. thanks thanx   ComedyofErrors Scheming 02/03/2006 09:18 am Great Giles responses to all stimuli. Lovely chapter. thanx; Giles is another tough character to write, at least for me   Athenewolfe Scheming 02/03/2006 05:06 am Ohhh i can't wait to find out what happens next - who betrays who first.... my money is on Giles being a vamp; will they find out before it is to late? What actions will Willoe take ... oh I can't wait! we'll see   Tamara Scheming 02/03/2006 02:26 am And here I thought I had been misdirected from Giles towards Angel . It's definitely Angel. Unless i'm wrong again. nothing is certain ;)   SpaceLord Scheming 02/03/2006 02:16 am Nice chapter, I don't really think that it's Giles that's her secret partner since Faith said that they thought her partner was dead in an earlier conversation. Could be wrong but that pretty much eliminates Giles from my list of suspects. well actually...she said Buffy didn't *know* if he was alive or dead... ;) lol...no suspects have been eliminated yet   ComedyofErrors Coming Clean 02/02/2006 07:05 pm Great last couple of chapters. I love Buffy's urge to comfort Spike, Dawn's response to the half-naked vampire, and the wonderful surprise of Giles. Thanx so much glad you are enjoying it   Morrigan Coming Clean 02/02/2006 07:01 pm Oh no!  All this time, I thought that it was Angel...  Now, I've really been thrown for a loop! I'm not saying a word...nothing's proven yet ;)   silverwolf Coming Clean 02/02/2006 05:19 pm oooh.....i had been thinking it was Angel on the other line. You killed Giles!!! Man, you're evil!!! wow. maybe, maybe not   silverwolf Coming Clean 02/02/2006 05:18 pm oooh.....i had been thinking it was Angel on the other line. You killed Giles!!! Man, you're evil!!! wow. we'll see ;)   sirc Coming Clean 02/02/2006 05:55 am Uh oh... Is it Giles or is it Ripper? wait and see ;)   Lou Coming Clean 02/02/2006 05:42 am God it's a terrible tease that you are! Giles what not what I was expecting!! lol...thanx...surprising readers is good   SpaceLord Coming Clean 02/02/2006 02:51 am Hmm is Giles good or bad? This will all be very interesting. wait and see ;)   akarinacj Coming Clean 02/02/2006 01:26 am Ok, see, Now you are evil. Why?, because now you got me wondering about Faiths phonecall to her "partner", telling him to go visit Buffy... and then the person who appears there is Giles... and then the comentary about so many teachers and friends beeing turned... Yes definetly evil... :-)) Please update soon!!!! yes, but nothing is certain yet ;) glad you are hooked   daisy Coming Clean 02/02/2006 01:15 am oh no not giles. i know he was angry when she left, but to go evil. i can't wiat for more. soon please who says he's evil ;) who says he's not? I'm not saying at all ;)   Jenna Coming Clean 02/01/2006 09:15 pm "weird, kinky...vampire bondage...fetish...thing"...Hilarious! Fun chapter. Can't wait to see if my suspicions are right. thanx...i was rather proud of that line....lol...seemed to be a hit glad you are enjoying the story   Tamara Coming Clean 02/01/2006 09:07 pm OK , I'm totally surprised. I thought it would be Angel.But this definitely makes more sense. Have Giles turned and he would be able to get to Joyce easily. I figured if it was Angel he woulkd have gotten in by telling Joyce he knew where Buffy was. all true...not sayin a word yet though   slaymesoftly Coming Clean 02/01/2006 08:41 pm uh oh - yeah   Irishrose Coming Clean 02/01/2006 07:20 pm I KNEW it! Hot dang, I knew it. Well, it was either that or Angel, arrived while Buffy was in LA. Coolness! knew what? ;) *innocent look*   MarzBar Coming Clean 02/01/2006 07:05 pm ACK!! Is Giles Faith's secret ally?? That is somewhat of a surprise, if true. Angelus or Travers would not surprise me at all. More story please. wait and see ;)   pfeifferpack Coming Clean 02/01/2006 06:55 pm Gaaaaahhhhh I SO didn't expect Faith's accomplice to be GILES! I was expecting Angel...WOW and ....::::::thud::::::... Excellent installment. Keep them coming *G*. K lol...glad you're enjoying it, and i'll try to keep making with the surprises   Athenewolfe Coming Clean 02/01/2006 06:35 pm excellant - gee Buff is your spidey sense going off? not telling   kimbclar Coming Clean 02/01/2006 06:35 pm Ahhh! I'm so confused. Is it Giles or Angel she's teamed up with. You're driving me crazy. But in a good way. Keep up the great work! so glad to aid in your insanity ;) glad you are enjoying the story   Athenewolfe The Morning After 02/01/2006 05:27 am good update thanx   SpaceLord The Morning After 02/01/2006 02:34 am Good chapter but I'm still just waiting to know what happened to Giles and who the mystery person Faith talks to is. Please get to that soon, the suspense is killing me lol...getting there, i promise   MarzBar The Morning After 01/31/2006 07:39 pm Maybe Spike will wake himself up in Buffy's arms tonight and get to really torment her. lol...there's a thought   slaymesoftly The Morning After 01/31/2006 07:20 pm oh - love the ending. Shut him up, didn't she? thanx so much   Jenna The Morning After 01/31/2006 06:48 pm Aw, bondage Spuffy fun. Fun update! thanx   Athenewolfe Consolation 01/31/2006 09:51 am very good thanx   ComedyofErrors Consolation 01/31/2006 07:22 am Buffy shows a wonderful tenderness here, belying her normal hard-edged stance. Spike's dream was well worked. Great working of the potential between these two. thanx so much...dream sequences tricky things glad you liked it   Lou Consolation 01/31/2006 06:35 am Aaah - it does make me happy when Buffy is kind to him like this. me too thanx   slaymesoftly Consolation 01/31/2006 05:47 am Oh-nice, and realistic, beginning of Spuffyness. Not too much, just the beginning of the thaw. thanx for review   akarinacj Consolation 01/31/2006 01:58 am Great Chapter. I liked very much the idea of nightmare and Buffy reaction to Spike´s sobs. Eagerly waiting for the next chapter. thanx so much, glad you like it   SpaceLord Consolation 01/31/2006 01:34 am Well guess we're moving into spuffy territory now. Good chapter. yep, on to spuffyland, and no turning back!   MarzBar Consolation 01/31/2006 01:26 am I hope her "friends" don't find her on the floor with Spike. Is Travers Faith's secret ally? More story please. lol...yeah that would have been bad :O   Morrigan Consolation 01/31/2006 01:03 am *sniff* That makes me misty! awww... thanx   Jenna Consolation 01/30/2006 10:20 pm Fabulous chapter. Great banter. Really enjoyed the dream sequence & the ending was lovely. Thank you! thanx, glad you liked it, dreams are kinda tricky so the feedback helps   MarzBar Revelation 01/29/2006 07:06 pm Can't this Willow do the computer hacking and find out who Faith talks to and plots with on the phone? More story please. she probably could if she wasn't so focused on vengeance   ComedyofErrors Revelation 01/29/2006 06:59 pm Great confrontation and tension between the unhappy allies. thanx   Anja Revelation 01/29/2006 05:03 pm more please coming up   akarinacj Revelation 01/29/2006 04:56 pm Very good chapter. Now I just hope they find out soon, who the mysterious partner is.... (Somebody who lost his soul again... maybe? hint, hint???) maybe...maybe not   Lou Revelation 01/29/2006 04:41 pm Hotting up nicely. At least she's giving him a chance. thanx for review   SpaceLord Revelation 01/29/2006 04:29 pm Well things are certanly heating up here. Should be interesting. thanx, glad you like it   idk5743228 Revelation 01/29/2006 04:28 pm Great chapter. I pretty much agree with Slaymesoftly. I'm seriously worried that the mystery vamp is not completely unknown to us. we shall see   slaymesoftly Revelation 01/29/2006 04:15 pm Seriously worried that I know who the "mystery vamp" is....And Buffy is clueless, it appears. isn't she always?   Liz No Turning Back 01/29/2006 01:30 pm NOOOOOOOOOOO! dangnabbit i hate cliff hangers plz update sooon! Im lovin it you hate cliffies and you like *my* stories?? hmm...lol...thanx for review, glad you're enjoying it   Typerbabe57 No Turning Back 01/28/2006 08:20 pm Whoa! That was intense--I realized I was actually holding my breath while reading about the fight between Spike and Faith--good stuff! thanx,glad you liked it, i'm not so good at describing fights   pfeifferpack No Turning Back 01/28/2006 03:31 pm Now from the frying pan Faith to the fire of WIllow??? Poor Spike. Kathleen "poor Spike" seems to be a recurring theme of this story thanx for review   Lou No Turning Back 01/28/2006 11:50 am FREE! And not before time. I hope he doesn't get more of the same from the Scoobies. well....he kind of does... unfortunately   slaymesoftly No Turning Back 01/28/2006 10:43 am Ha!We know where he can go, don't we? yep   slaymesoftly No Turning Back 01/28/2006 10:40 am Ha!We know where he can go, don't we? we sure do   ComedyofErrors No Turning Back 01/28/2006 09:45 am Great confrontation. I love a fight between two very impatient people, and that Spike's self-control is what saves him here. thanx so much, you always notice things others don't, makes your reviews a pleasure to read   Jenna No Turning Back 01/28/2006 12:20 am Go Spike go! I'm so glad he's finally away from Faith. Can't wait to see what happens next. glad you're enjoying it, thanx for review   pfeifferpack A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 10:11 am Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...evil cliff hanger! Oh dear I certainly hope Buffy finds out what's about to happen to Spike. It would at least let her see how honest he's been with her. I'm worried about WIllow however....seething is not good with her personality and inclinations for revenge. Spike has enough problems without having Willow on his case forever after. Really great upate. SO happy you are putting these chapters out quickly (an shamed about my own sloth!). Love your other story as well, Belonging.....sigh...such richess! Kathleen thanx so much for your detailed reviews...i love it...so glad you are enjoying my story   ComedyofErrors A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 08:30 am Eeep! Now there's a cliffhanger for ya. I like the use of the word 'legally', and I don't see Ripper having trouble bending the law a little - or a lot. no, he wouldn't, would he? thanx for review   Lou A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 06:36 am Yikes!! I don't see Psychoslayer letting him off this time. no, probably not   SpaceLord A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 01:55 am Hmm sometimes things just don't make much sense. I mean Vampires got superhearing and all and still he gets jumped when doing the spying thing, I really find it hard to belive. Sure if he had been daydreaming or something and not paying attention but he was on edge and doing the whole thing carefully and still not able to sense when she came around. I mean he's been spying on her for a while now and knows how insane and paranoid she is. I hope you got some sort of good explanation as to how she managed to sneak up on him. Aside from that I like this story and I'm interested in what happened to Giles, is he around or what? Yeah, I guess I didn't make it clear enough, I was kinda trying to indicate that he was distracted enough by what he had just found out to not be paying close attention...its *very* big news ;) ...   s A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 01:50 am ??   Jenna A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 12:44 am Yikes! Spike is going to have to talk fast to get out of this one...although I can't see what he could say that could get him out of it. Poor Spike. I like your portrayal of Xander. It's refreshing to see someone refer to his positive attributes; read too much bashing fic. yeah, i don't like Xander bashing...usually when i bash him at all, i at least redeem him before the end ;) thanx for good review   Morrigan A Turn of Events 01/27/2006 12:36 am Damn... Spike's gotta learn to look over his shoulder more!  What's next? lol...yeah, he's not really on his toes in this story :-\   slaymesoftly Secrets and Lies 01/26/2006 06:18 pm Gah! Why do I think I know what happened to Giles??????? lol   ComedyofErrors Secrets and Lies 01/26/2006 04:01 pm I've been wondering that for a while now. I'll be interested to see if he's still in Sunnydale or if not, where he's ended up. Great chapter, as always. giles will make his appearance soon i promise   Lou Secrets and Lies 01/26/2006 08:56 am Now I'll have to re-read it all as I can't remember Giles being mentioned! Grumble, grumble. lol...i mentioned him   Charlene Secrets and Lies 01/26/2006 06:02 am Really liking this fic! Can't wait for more! ::smiles:: thanx, glad you are liking it so much!   Morrigan Secrets and Lies 01/26/2006 03:16 am Oh Oh, is it Angelus? Gotta know more! not telling   MarzBar Secrets and Lies 01/26/2006 12:09 am Did Angelus come back without his soul? Has Giles been turned or gone back to his demon days? not saying a word yet   ComedyofErrors Falling Apart 01/24/2006 03:26 pm Spike needs to learn ping pong. It would make this situation much more familiar. Excellent chapter with breaking the news to Buffy's friends and Spike's second interrogation. lol...yeah, ping pong's not much fun for the ball...lol   Lou Falling Apart 01/24/2006 03:04 pm Faith gets more like Angelus each chapter! If I was Spike I think I'd be on the first bus out of town - two bitchy Slayers to deal with is one too many! but spike could never stay away from sunnydale,could he?   Athenewolfe Falling Apart 01/24/2006 01:44 pm good story - wondering how this is going to turn out - willow is bloodthirsty - but who can blame her? I can't wait to see how this story deals with all the intersting plot points you brought up - really good update can't wait for more! yeah, she kind of does have a reason for her behavior...glad you're liking all the twists...   just_sue Falling Apart 01/24/2006 09:42 am Yikes! This fic is seriously scary! Faith makes me shiver - and Willow ain't doing bad either! It's a nasty dark world - and I likes it! Looking forward to seeing you sort this mess out. Think I know who's in LA, but have been known to be wrong more than once so keeping thoughts to self. Will be looking out for more. Thanks. thanx, glad i could make them both as scary as i'm trying for... glad you're enjoying it...mess-sortage soon   Bluebird An Awkward Alliance 01/24/2006 07:53 am Love your story Please write more soon! Thanks! thanx so much   ComedyofErrors An Awkward Alliance 01/23/2006 11:33 pm This shall indeed be difficult. Three very unwilling friends will pounce on this. indeed   slaymesoftly An Awkward Alliance 01/23/2006 05:00 pm A very long night, I would guess. Willow is not a very forgiving girl! nope...as she will prove later   Lou An Awkward Alliance 01/23/2006 10:56 am Excellent dialogue and at last they seem to have reached an understanding of sorts. The Scoobies will love it! right.... lol   Morrigan An Awkward Alliance 01/23/2006 08:51 am That was tense.  Loved it.  I'll be watching for your next update. glad you liked it; you won't have to wait long   Jenna An Awkward Alliance 01/23/2006 08:28 am Enjoyed the chapter. Lots of good dialogue. It was nice to have a chapter devoted exclusively to Buffy & Spike. I have a feeling Faith is going to be suspicious; hope Spike has enough time to do some good before she and her mystery assistant turn on him. Bet Willow is going to flip out, too. all your predictions proved true...don't you feel proud?   jen Common Ground 01/22/2006 12:00 am Great chapter! You conveyed both their emotions so well. Poor Spike! Great moment of connection between the two over the looks on their lover's faces. thanx so much...glad you are enjoying it   pfeifferpack Common Ground 01/21/2006 11:15 pm Oooo...loving, loving this story. I really hope Willow softens somewhat (I think Xander might given time) because this group needs to work together. Great plot, wonderfully told. Loved the way Buffy empathises in spite of herself...she can see the genuine emotion. Kathleen thanx, glad you are liking it...they're all kind of scattered at the moment aren't they?   Lou Common Ground 01/21/2006 09:44 pm Terrific chapter - such a powerful confrontation. Kudos! thanx, glad you liked it   slaymesoftly Common Ground 01/21/2006 02:48 pm Very intense, emotional chapter. I wondered how he was going to convince her - she seemed so lost in her fury, but you did it well. Congratulations. thanx, glad you liked it...that was slightly tough to pull off   idk5743228 Common Ground 01/21/2006 01:41 pm One of the best chapters yet. Makes me want to hold a "let's kill Faith party" But I don't think Willow and Xander will want to let Spike live. or unlive? i bet you'd get a lot of people to come to that...i would ;)   stephanie Common Ground 01/21/2006 10:43 am faith needs to die. Bloody, horribly and with much pain yes maam, right away ;)   MarzBar Common Ground 01/21/2006 08:34 am It's good that Spike managed to live through that but how is he going to live through Willow and Xander and Faith and her bullies? More story please. thanx for your review, glad you're liking it, no it doesn't look good for him, does it?   Jenna Truth and Consequences 01/21/2006 05:09 am Wow, Willow sure is showing her DarkWillow tendencies, although you can't really blame her. Poor Spike, he's telling the truth and it isn't getting him anywhere. What's Buffy going to do now?!? yeah, things are pretty rough at this point..thanks for review   slaymesoftly Truth and Consequences 01/21/2006 12:21 am Woo! Chilling Willow (but we already know how vengeful she can be, don't we?) and scary Buffy. Loving this! oh she's gonna get worse...thanx for review   ComedyofErrors Truth and Consequences 01/20/2006 03:59 pm Great reactions from Willow and Xander. I like Buffy's dominance of the situation. thanx, glad you like it   Lou Truth and Consequences 01/20/2006 10:29 am Buffy's already part way to believing him or she wouldn't be bothered with sending the others away. more sson! very perceptive of you thanx   MarzBar Truth and Consequences 01/20/2006 09:07 am Yikes! How is Spike going to live through this? Maybe Buffy can form a gang of vampires to go after Faith's gang. That might bring out the mastermind in all this violence. BTW, where are the PTB and the Wankers' Council? thanx for great review   akarinacj Truth and Consequences 01/20/2006 08:49 am I like this story very much, but...I´m not so sure how much I like Spike in this story. (And I usually love Spike no matter what...)Í understands he´s angry because of Drusilla, but He did kill Oz, even if it was in self defense, and... how intelligent is it to try to drain Willow? Another one of Buffy´s friends. How is Willow ever going to trust ... or even like him a little? or Buffy.? I mean if he wanted Buffy´s help to kill Faith. Was it such a good idea to try to bite another friend of hers.? She saw that he was trying to bite Willow... Yes it´s going to be interresting seeing how you´re going to have Buffy believing in him after that... Please... update soon. Yeah, but Spike always did act impulsively without thinking of the consequences most of the time..and he wasnt thinking that he was actually going to enlist Buffy's help, remember, he was actually just wanting to be sure that Buffy would kill Faith....and if he had just drained Willow, Buffy would definitely want to kill Faith...him too, yeah, but there's always a fatal flaw in Spike's plans lol   Jenna Power Play 01/19/2006 08:48 am Loved the first bit with Spike's thoughts as he woke up; great bit of writing. Great last line! You're killing me with the suspense! Really loving this story. Thanks for the great update. thanx, glad i'm able to keep you into it...thanx for great review   slaymesoftly Power Play 01/19/2006 03:07 am nice ending to the chapter - now we can all sit around and gnaw on our nails until we find out if anybody believes him. lol...glad you liked it   gaillee Power Play 01/18/2006 09:21 pm Excellent story so far. I hated coming to the end of what's written. I'll be watching for more...soon, I hope. thanx, glad you are liking it   neo_trinityknot Power Play 01/18/2006 07:11 pm He always gets the crazy women! lol...pretty much   ComedyofErrors Power Play 01/18/2006 03:45 pm Smart move on Spike's part to be honest. I like Buffy's confidence in this interrogation, and Willow and Xander's silent but very much present support. thanx, glad you're liking it, yeah this buffy is a bit tougher   idk5743228 Power Play 01/18/2006 02:37 pm Excellent chapter. Yup, Spike needs to suffer for sleeping with Faith. Oh wait, that's not why Buffy's torturing him. Oh well. So is Spike finally going to tell the truth completely? lol...it's subconscious...she doesn't know it but that's why...lol j/k   Lou Power Play 01/18/2006 01:33 pm Poor baby - still I suppose he has to suffer for being with skanky Faith in the first place! kinda serves him right, doesn't it? ;) lol   Morrigan Power Play 01/18/2006 10:52 am Just droppin in to say I'm still here. Poor Spike...  I hope he doesn't get beat up, much more. yeah this fic is rough on him, isn't it   ComedyofErrors Deception 01/18/2006 03:39 pm Intriguing conversation of Faith's. I like Spike's distraction and capture. thanx, glad you like it   lOU Deception 01/17/2006 11:04 am Ooooh, oohh - gimme more! Crafty Buffy! And Mr Clunky mystery phone man - methinks we all can guess who! you might be surprised ;) thanx for review   SpaceLord Deception 01/17/2006 10:56 am Hmm my guess as to the person on the phone, well Angel or Angelus. Fit the description nicely really, lurking and stalking and all that. could be ;)   Jenna Deception 01/17/2006 07:03 am *Ack!* Cruel cliffhanger! Great chapter and I can't wait to see what Buffy does. Also curious to see if the mysterious lurker is who I think it is and if so, what the heck is he doing hanging out with Faith. Thanks for the fast update! lol..we'll see i suppose... thanx for great review   Tamara Deception 01/17/2006 06:55 am I'm sure I know who Faith was talking to and I'm also sure he's the same one who killed Joyce. we'll see   Morrigan Deception 01/17/2006 05:41 am Boy, Spike just isn't on his toes, in this one, is he? not really...lol...but he's been losing to Buffy more because of *her* being stronger than usual than because of him being weak...and there's a reason why he didn't sense her there, as the next chapter will reveal   linpen Deception 01/17/2006 05:26 am Love the tension you build in all you stories, its a good thing you update so rapidly lol thanx   bluebird Deception 01/17/2006 05:23 am Thanks for a great story Luv! Please write more real SOON! Thanks! thanx for review, and you know i will   neo_trinityknot Deception 01/17/2006 04:28 am *GASP* Cant wait for the next chapter! thanx   idk5743228 Subconscious Desires 01/15/2006 06:13 pm yeah, much as I hate to say this but the Spaith scene will move the plot along. I'm sure I will be in therapy for a while trying to get the image out of my mind. Next please? lol....the spaithness is over, i promise   Lou Subconscious Desires 01/15/2006 05:56 pm At last he's had the revelation - now he can start to fix things!! yep...uphill from here...maybe   ComedyofErrors Subconscious Desires 01/15/2006 04:30 pm I like Spike's discovery of his interest in Buffy. I enjoy your Faith, both her insecurity and her rashness. glad you like her thanx for good review   katakata Subconscious Desires 01/15/2006 10:33 am Oh I love it...sooo like Spike to be 'down with the sickness' which, btw, is the word that comes to mind when I think of 'Spaith'. As much as I love Eliza Dushku I'm glad they didn't end up making a Faith-Spike spin-off series after BtVS ended. It would have only served to make Spike look like a slayer-groupie or something, LOL. More soon please 8-) i agree, i liked Faith as a character but her and spike is gross...no more of that for this story i promise   Morrigan Subconscious Desires 01/15/2006 09:43 am Another round of Kudos. Faith is gross...but you portray her so well! It makes me hate her all over again. thanx, glad i can make her convincingly hate-able   fallen_angel Confrontation 03/18/2006 03:48 am gr8. i'm gonna finish this fic. today hopefully. lol...hope you like the rest of it   vladt Confrontation 01/16/2006 06:36 am great update to a great story. thanks thanx   katakata Confrontation 01/15/2006 06:35 am Great update...love Buffy's parting shot at Spike (I just ADORE cool, calm & quippy Buffy - she's sooo commanding) and her first encounter with Faith. Can't wait for the next chappie! 8-) me too, i love buffy's quips...glad you are enjoying it   ComedyofErrors Confrontation 01/15/2006 04:21 am Wonderful update. The confrontation was as intense and striking as I knew it would be. Great play between the three major characters. thanx, glad you liked it, i was hoping i could carry off that confrontation convincingly and excitingly thanx for good review   slaymesoftly Confrontation 01/14/2006 05:06 pm Oh - this was a great chapter! It's so easy to forget that Spike is not really on anybody's side except his own, but you remind us beautifully. Can't wait to see how you get them from here (hating and hurting each other) to (I hope) eventual Spuffyness. Good tension building. thanx so much, glad you are liking this...yeah at this point spike had no reason to really care about buffy...changes soon though ;)   idk5743228 Confrontation 01/14/2006 01:40 pm Hey, who's going to fix that door? I really can't wait until Faith's little world goes boom. Great chapter yeah, this is pre-carpenter Xander, isn't it? hmmm...lol..thanx for review   Jenna Confrontation 01/14/2006 07:09 am Hey, great story! Just read all the chapters posted. Really like your alternate world and the set up. Really looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Like always, your characterizations are really good. thanx, glad you are liking it   fallen_angel Dangerous Game 03/18/2006 03:33 am who killed joyace? right should probably move 2 next chapter to find out. like this fic. too much thanx so much, so glad you like it...the mystery is unfortunately not solved in the next chapter though ;P lol   SpaceLord Dangerous Game 01/13/2006 11:43 pm Well Spike is only out for vengance for what Faith did to Dru, I'm curious about how you will make it spuffy hopefully it will be a good thing and not feel forced. I'm loving this story so far although I don't really see Faith as the evil type, she always came across as sort of lost and just looking for a place to fit in. For the story to work I guess Faith has to be evil but I don't really see it, not in this situation. i agree with you, canon Faith never seemed really evil to me, and as a character i always kind of liked her...but for the sake of this story i made her more evil   Lou Dangerous Game 01/13/2006 10:11 pm Yikes! This is very edgy. Great suspense. thanx, glad you're liking it   slaymesoftly Dangerous Game 01/13/2006 02:31 am Nice update. I like this Spike - out to get Faith, but not totally on Buffy's side either. So true to what he would probably have been like under those circumstances. thanx yeah, Spike really has no reason to *really* be on Buffy's side yet...right now he just sort of wants to use her to get to Faith ... but that will change   fallen_angel Holding On 03/18/2006 03:30 am sweet, made me cry a bit thanx so much, glad it touched you   SpaceLord Holding On 01/12/2006 01:30 pm I like it, wondering who killed Joyce. I'm thinking that they should call those CSI dudes they could tell her lol...that could work...this is my first attempt at any sort of mystery really...glad you are liking it   ComedyofErrors Holding On 01/11/2006 03:51 pm Impressive the way you juggle personality and emotion. Intense and very good chapter. thanx so much, glad you are liking it   Lou Holding On 01/11/2006 02:18 pm The way they all blame Buffy is so believable and Dawn the eternal brat - really well done. oh yeah...they were always friends but they definitely had issues...lol   Stephanie Holding On 01/11/2006 10:57 am Just got caught up with this story today - and it was absolutly incrediable. I love this story... it is filled with so much emotion and beutifully written. You are such an excellant writer! thanx so much, glad you are liking it...your compliments make me blush... thanx   Morrigan Holding On 01/11/2006 10:17 am Dawnie slaps. They always come as such a "Wow", don't they? Takes me back to season 6. Good chap! lol....yeah, the season of the brat....lol thanx for review   Thianna Holding On 01/11/2006 07:35 am cool. I love your plot. Can't wait for more. thanx glad you like it   ComedyofErrors Suspicions 01/10/2006 03:21 pm Faith's desperate sadism combined with a position of power has done frightening things to her. I can see why Spike feels the need to tread lightly around her. It will be interesting to see how Spike manages to allay her suspicions, if at all. yeah, she's just crazy enough to be really scary...we'll see what happens, won't we? ;)   Lou Suspicions 01/10/2006 11:39 am What a mean Faith! Why on earth Spike's with her is a mystery. not because he likes her, that's for sure! it's only for vengeance that he's doing it   just_sue Suspicions 01/10/2006 11:27 am Damn! Faith is smarter than I'd hoped. Things are gonna be pretty precarious for Buffy and Spike, methinks. Loving this and so looking forward to more. Thanks. yep, things are getting a little scary... so glad you're enjoying it...i'm loving your story by the way...hating waiting but loving the story ;)   ComedyofErrors Confrontation 01/09/2006 04:48 pm Just read the last two wonderful chapters. I like Willow's coldness in response to Buffy. Willow more than anyone depended on Buffy's cues for guidance. Xander had some experience being on his own. Buffy's response to her mother's death was true and harrowing. I like her conversation with Spike. You write both characters very well. thanx so glad you are liking this, thanx for the compliment, i agree with your comments on Willow and Xander and their reactions   Lou Confrontation 01/09/2006 11:56 am At least she believed that he didn't do the dirty deed! More please! coming up   spike_spetslayer Confrontation 01/09/2006 07:12 am Sorry, Jessi, this was the first chance that I had to read this all the way through...good start, love the Willow anger and Xander being the one to give Buffy a chance, and Spike playing on both sides...good story so far, and I'm eager to see where you go with this... thanx so much, glad you like it so far...it's gonna be a twisty, bumpy ride   slaymesoftly Confrontation 01/08/2006 11:53 pm Had two chapters to catch up on- and well into it now. glad you're into it thanx   idk5743228 Confrontation 01/08/2006 11:38 pm Excellent chapter. At least she knows he didn't kill her mom. Can we hurt Faith now?! pretty please? Faith will suffer before its over but it might be a while   Morrigan Confrontation 01/08/2006 11:19 pm Spike took off? Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Update soon! first of many surprises   Peyton With a Vengeance 01/12/2006 05:21 pm The Spaith stuff reminds me the Artemis/Acheron relationship in Sherilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters series. very intriguing. I hope reader response doesn't cause you to rush through it faster than you wanted. You're doing great stuff! thanx...i like writing it b/c its an interesting relationship dynamic to write...i'm not gonna rush through it, as always i'm gonna write it how i planned regardless of response...most people probably shouldn't mind anyway since i'm making it absolutely clear that Spike HATES Faith, and doesn't really want to be with her...anyways, I'm rambling now...lol ...thanx for the good review, glad you're enjoying it   neo_trinityknot With a Vengeance 01/08/2006 04:15 pm hopefully Spike will have time to explain before Buffy kills him. hopefully   Morrigan With a Vengeance 01/08/2006 08:29 am Oooh, good chapter. Can't wait till the Spaith stuff is over with. lol...not too long to wait   Peyton Good Intentions 01/11/2006 04:01 pm Despite my confusion at the beginning this story is intriguing. I don't mind the Spaith. It's nasty! %^> lol...thanx i think   ComedyofErrors Good Intentions 01/07/2006 04:05 pm Excellent chapter exploring just why Spike is playing servant to anyone, let alone Faith. Very believable and harsh. Explains his motives for wanting Buffy back quite well. thanx...glad you are enjoying it   slaymesoftly Good Intentions 01/07/2006 03:09 pm Getting caught up in this one - the Spaith doesn't bother me, so go for it! thanx...glad it doesn't bother you cause it doesn't stop for a little while yet   just sue Good Intentions 01/07/2006 10:03 am Yuk! In all fairness, you are portraying Faith as the big skanky ho that I always think of her - but to the nth degree! Poor Spike having to let himself be used like that to further his plans. Come on Buffy, get your butt back to Sunnyhell! Looking forward to more - thanks. she's on her way I promise! I agree Faith is a big skanky ho... lol..thanx for review   Tam Good Intentions 01/07/2006 08:06 am do you have any idea how hard it is to read between your fingers while you're covering your eyes? well it is! LMAO!! lol...if you think it's scary now...   idk5743228 Good Intentions 01/07/2006 03:24 am eeeh....(stomping over to rinse bad taste out of my mouth) I will keep repeating my new mantra for this story. "This is just plot development" I want to also repeat something from my last comment. PLEASE make Faith suffer.. ALOT! lol...Faith will suffer I promise   SpaceLord Good Intentions 01/07/2006 03:18 am Wow this story is really dark, love it so far. thanx so much...i love writing dark stuff...much more interesting lol   Morrigan Since You've Been Gone 01/07/2006 12:49 am Interesting. This is quite an unexpected approach. Can't wait to read more. thanx, glad you're liking it   idk5743228 Since You've Been Gone 01/06/2006 06:00 pm I read the first chapter yesterday and meant to comment, oops. My brain must still be on vacation. After reading chapter 2, I'm glad I waited. Your writing, as usual , is superb. Which is why chapter 2 really, really depressed me. I also read some of your responses. I'm glad that you let readers know that everything is not always as it seems. I can't wait for more chapters. I'll take any nugget you want to throw. Just promise to make Faith suffer, ALOT! lol...Faith suffering is in the plan thanx for your faith ...no pun intended...in me, and giving this story a chance despite its depressing beginning thanx again   Lou Since You've Been Gone 01/06/2006 12:34 pm Spike must have been hard-up to be with Faith! he has his reasons ;)   bloodshedbaby Since You've Been Gone 01/06/2006 07:40 am oooh poor joyce!! I can't wait to see where you're going to go with this! thanx; glad you're enjoying it so far   Tam Since You've Been Gone 01/06/2006 05:22 am Think I'm gonna pull a 'Saving Grace' on this one and wait til it's almost done to read LOL I'm SUCH a wuss!! lol...hopefully this one won't end up being 60 chapters long ;) lol   ~*~Tasha~*~ Since You've Been Gone 01/06/2006 05:20 am I can't even bear to think that Spike might have killed Joyce. That's just ... I just can't see it. Your writing is excellent as always, but I think I'll need to wait for a few chapters to be out before I read again. I do look forward to reading again, and I know you have a way of bringing things around. I'll just sit for a little it with this one though. I'm in a bit of shock at it all right now. All I will say is that things are not always as they appear... ...hope you can manage to read it even though I know my second chap was way depressing and dark...lol...as far as Spike killing Joyce...what do you *really* think ;)   neo_trinityknot Since You've Been Gone 01/06/2006 05:09 am Shaping up to be another great story. Hoping for the nice frequent updates. lol...i'll try   vicki Scared to Life 03/29/2006 04:55 pm this is another wonderful story. your writing is so great. it evokes such deep emotions and is just so beyond well written. i really like the idea for this story. i gotta tell you that it was a bit hard to read faith and all her awful sadistic actions. like - phew! she was so damn evil that i couldn't quite get a grip on that. you write evil really well. hopefully not from personal experience! and god - willow was damn scary too! thank god xander was decent in this one. ooooo and giles - leaving spike at faith's mercy like that - greater good be damned! i really like the way you write buffy in this story - no ambivalence on her part at all - damn right! i'm glad that she gave it good to giles, even though he had helped. and giles took it in as he should with "as you wish buffy". Thank you so much for writing this deeply absorbing, riveting story and for letting buffy and spike be together. thank you so much, you are too kind...yes faith is absolutely evil in this....i try to make my villains truly evil and scary...giles on the other hand i like to be a bit of a mystery... ... morally ambiguous, just like on the show...thanx again for your kind words, it means so much   pfeifferpack Scared to Life 01/11/2006 10:20 pm Faith without restraint is a scary idea! Love the story, love the concept. Not to quibble but didn't Spike fulfill his part of the bargain by helping stop the torture of Giles and clearing out the riff raff while Buffy took on Angelus? I thought that was all he was to do then get Dru out of the way and out of town? Whatever, what IS important is that this is one fine story. I look forward to daily updates and THANK YOU for that blessing, you make me ashamed of my tardy WIP updates of late! Kathleen a matter of interpretation i suppose i always thought by running off when she was still fighting for her life he kind of let down on his end...his being allowed to take dru and go was part of *her* part of the bargain if he helped her defeat angelus... but anyways thanx for good review, hope you keep enjoying the story   Peyton Scared to Life 01/11/2006 03:42 pm I'm confused. Spike didn't break his agreement with Buffy in Becoming. He promised to get Dru out of the way and he did. Is that part of the AU? No he promised to help her beat Angel and *then* get Dru out of the way...but he just grabbed Dru and ran...shrugged it off like "oh, well, she's gonna die..." that's what i'm talking about....lol   neo_trinityknot Scared to Life 01/07/2006 03:00 am Eww. Spaith. Pardon the pun, but I have faith that you wil make it all better soon. Lol...i will i promise....   Linpen Scared to Life 01/07/2006 01:45 am Great start. The situation you have set up in Sunnydale offers great dramtic possabilities. And was the effect of Spike words on Buffy just what he was after? how perceptive of you   Linpen Scared to Life 01/07/2006 01:45 am Great start. The situation you have set up in Sunnydale offers great dramtic possabilities. And was the effect of Spike words on Buffy just what he was after? how perceptive of you   Jeni Scared to Life 01/06/2006 08:33 pm I have to agree with the others--you're a fantastic writer--I'm sure I made the comment on Saving Grace about the way you bring out the characters and our emotions. I know things aren't as they seem. But I need an update soon! thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words   Linpen Scared to Life 01/06/2006 03:04 pm Great start. The situation you have set up in Sunnydale offers great dramtic possabilities.
