what a delightful read. thank you. love the conversation. and “So, what’d’ya get me for my birthday?”
is an appropriate way to end the conversation. |

| Cas | Confessions and Cocoa | 08/08/2006 01:29 pm |
| I love the dynamic you've built between these two. |

Dawn's scheme was fantastic. Oh, the pitfalls of slow drying ink!
And now Spike has to go buy a present...not that he wouldn't want to find one, if he knew when her birthday was...and late January is perfect cocoa weather.
Love the rhetoric line, too. That really made me laugh. |

Good chapter.Update soon.I love Dawn and Spike's mad dash to write the letter.That was hilarious.I hope you don't update Monday morning or all day Wednesday.On Monday,I'm going to the zoo,and on Wednesday,I'm going to the local amusement park.
Plus I might go to the movie theater this weekend to see a movie and then go to the drive-in later that day or the next day.I have a busy week. |

| If I haven't told you how much I love this story, I will now. The plot is intricate and involved and original, and the only problem I have is that it updates so rarely, which really isn't a problem, just more of something I pout about. Keep up the excellent work, can't wait for the next update. |

| WOW! Spike can channel souls amongst other wonderful things. Great chapter. Thank you for coming back to us. |
| Sorry about that disappearing act, but real life abducted me for a while. Back now though, so I should be back at my weekly updating. Thanks for the review! |
| |
| HPfan | Vessel | 08/01/2006 10:29 pm |
Wonderful chapter - warm and sweet. I love that Spike has a destiny that isn't always dependent on him just being there to back up Buffy or the other scoobies. Can't wait to see what else the powers that be have planned for his future. And I REALLY can't wait to find out what's up with Giles and why Meret is having such a strange reaction to the watcher. You will update soon, won't you? Begging nicely here. |
| I'm back so my old posting schedule. No more month long disappearances (I hope)! Thanks for the review! |

| vladt | Vessel | 08/01/2006 09:50 pm |
| very good read, thank you. why do i think you will make good use of spike's new weapon? |
| It's the gun theory. You don't introduce a gun into a movie unless you intend to use it. Then again, I love red herrings. ;-) Thanks for reviewing! |

| Emilee | Vessel | 08/01/2006 12:42 pm |
| Yay! Another update! Interesting development with the "empty vessel" concept. Poor Spike, has to go thru all that only to get a chewing out from Buffy when he comes back. Excellent update. Looking forward to the next. |
| No rest for the wicked (Spike, for his 'vacation,' or me, for my posting delinquency). Thanks for the review! |

| Thanks! It was great meeting you! (And yum, zombie blood!) |
| |
| HPfan | Jolly Holiday | 07/18/2006 09:08 pm |
| Awesome chapter. Loved the action, not to mention the humor. UV challenged, huh? Is this a politically correct term for vampire? Loved the idea that the taste of rotten zombie flesh is only slightly worse than that of Buffy's chicken parmesan. ROFLMAO. Can't wait for the next chapter. Hoping you'll shed a little more light on the Rupert mystery. Or are you gonna be all evil and have Meret continue with the cryptic thing? lol |
| I learned how to be cryptic and evil at the feet of Joss, what do you think? ;-) I love writing fight scenes, so I think that's why my weirder humor seems to come out in those chapters. I'm glad you liked it though. Thanks! |

| |
| kim | Jolly Holiday | 07/18/2006 08:00 am |
Stupid site ate my review!
Love this story. Have I mentioned that enough? You write Spike so well, and all this mysterious stuff really has me chomping at the bit for more. What's the mirror do? Why does Giles have no mouth in Meret's head?
Tara knows Spike so well, and he doesn't know what to do with someone just as perceptive as he is. She knows his penchant for not caring about his own hide in a fight, as long as he survives it. Sure, he's rather not have an injury that lasts for days, but he's not afraid to push the envelope, either.
And zombie blood - EEEEEEEW!!!!! |
Thank you!
Spike could be so intuitive about other people's emotions and motivations, but he didn't always seem able to turn that lens back on himself, and yeah, Tara seemed like the perfect person to fill those shoes. I'm glad you liked that part. |

| Somehow I missed this update when it was first posted - darn! Neat chapter. Something's seriously going on with Giles. Guess you're gonna leave us hanging and speculating about his situation. lol Moving on to the new chapter now. Can't wait. |
| You know me so well! ;-) I think I have a mental block against just coming right out and saying something in a fic. Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks! |

Good chapter.Update soon.I like that Anya said the pair of shoes she was wearing were created by a wish,and they just caught on.I hope Spike's going to be okay soon.I love summer.I haven't been able to swim in my pool yet because the water wasn't warm enough,and when it was finally was,I couldn't.Listening to Journey while reading this is fun.
I love Journey. |

| Very glad to see another chapter of this delightful well written story and series. I eagerly await the next one, which I hope will be very soon. |
| I'm afraid that I'm going to have to stick to the once a week schedule, if only because my muse and I are in the middle of a cold war. Sorry. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks for the feedback! |

| I loved the first story and I love this one too. I want a Meret of my own. ;) |

I love Dawn's filing system - great idea. Poor Spike, still trying to sort himself out. Always glad to see Clem.
Thanks! |
| I love Clem! Anyway, the filing system was one of those random things that popped into my head while I was writing. I'm glad my insanity was appreciated. Thanks for the review! |
| |
| HPfan | Likeminded | 06/13/2006 04:18 pm |
| Wonderful, fun chapter. I love how well you write Dawn. And when you have her interacting with Spike, it's always neat. Can't wait to see how Spike's version of a vacation (to a little hell on earth, maybe?) goes. Will Biffy eventually get in on the act? H-U-R-R-Y with the next update, please? |
| XD I'm posting as fast as I can! I'm glad you're liking the Spike/Dawn interaction, because I know a lot of people didn't like the character on the show. Thanks for the review! |

Love Clem...he's a cuddly demon.
Even when struggling with writer's block, your chapters are still immensely entertaining. |
| I'm glad you're still liking the chapters, because they're trying their best to drive me nuts! Bleh. And yeah, Clem. I love him and wish we could have seen him more often on the show. Thanks for reviewing! |
| |
| DeanSamWinchesterfan | Likeminded | 06/13/2006 09:37 am |
Good chapter.I liked Clem's line about women,because we are sorta like that.Update soon.Yesterday, it was freezing.It's not supposed to be this cold in June!Luckily,
the temperature is going up to 76 today.Have you considered my challenges yet?(No pressure,just wondering.I keep forgetting to ask you again.) |
| I've been "like that" on occasion, and I'm one of the least girly women I know! I've looked at the challenges, but I have a few plot bunnies waiting in the wings that I want to get out of my head so that they'll stop torturing me first. I'll swing back by later and see if any of them tickle my fancy. Thanks for the review! (I wish it was cold here. Hot and muggy bites.) |

| |
| Boiling Point | 05/31/2006 01:30 pm |
| Hmmm... If Spike walked up to the pool table (or certain actor) say licking sauce off his fingers would I get distracted? Nah, Pool table what pool table. Hope Meret milks the apology for all it's worth. Great Chapter |
| Hee! I think I'm right there with you. ;-) Thanks for the review! |
| |
| Karma | Boiling Point | 05/31/2006 02:15 am |
| Poor Meret! Grumpy spike would not be fun for the poor little thing. Great chapter, liked the Xander and Spike interaction! |
| Thanks! And yeah, thanks to Meret, when Spike ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, especially the coatl herself. |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Boiling Point | 05/30/2006 10:12 pm |

| |
| HPfan | Boiling Point | 05/30/2006 09:09 pm |
| Nice, well-written look at the walking contradiction that is Spike. Loved the game of pool. Meret and Buffy are sorta two of a kind - both wicked minxes. Xander being nice and not just automatically reacting negatively to Spike was a nice change from the usual treatment of these two characters' relationship. Looking forward to the next chapter. |
| In the show, Spike seemed to gravitate to women who drove him nuts. Who am I to break the pattern? ;-) I'm glad you're liking it. Thanks for reviewing! |
| |
| kim | Boiling Point | 05/30/2006 04:57 pm |
I think SpaceLord's forgetting that Buffy takes precedence in Spike's mind over anything else, and that he hasn't gotten laid in a very long time.
It would be nice for the group to sit down and relay exactly what they get and don't get through Meret, for Spike's peace of mind, at least. I'm missing the Spike/Tara interaction a bit, too. |
| Wait, honest communication in a Buffy fic? The world might end! ;-) I promise that Tara will be back later. Thanks for the review! |
| |
| DeanSamWinchesterfan | Boiling Point | 05/30/2006 02:20 pm |
Good chapter.Poor Spike.I hope he's okay soon.I'm in pain so much right now.It's in the nineties out there and I was out for less than two hours yesterday,
but I'm still sunburned.I'm also really hot.Update soon. |
| Whew, sounds nasty. Thanks for the review. I hope you're feeling better soon. |
| |
| SpaceLord | Boiling Point | 05/30/2006 02:07 pm |
| Yeah this was fun until you decided to give Spike the concentration ability of Homer Simpson, I mean if that's how easily he would get distracted how the hell would he survive for so long? I mean ok if he got distracted the first time but then over and over again, I don't think I've ever met or heard of a person with such lack of self control. I mean the first thing we ever hear about Spike is that when he sets his mind on something he don't stop until he's done and right this minute it would be pool not slutty and her lame attempts at being distracting. |
| I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I was basing that scene off of the only time we've really seen "Buffy" try to screw around with Spike's head in "Who Are You." Considering how off balance he's been in the rest of the story, I felt that it was logical in the bounds of this story. Thanks for the feedback, and I do hope that this doesn't turn you off of the entire story. |

Nice interaction between Spike and Giles. Bet it was a really bad idea for Spike and Buffy to leave their respective feathers behind with Giles. Foreshadowing, much? Wanna see the pool game between Xander and Spike. Kinda nice to see a truce between these two. Looking forward to the next chapter, Soon, please? |
| Perhaps a little foreshadowing. Thanks for the review! |

Still loving this one. The dreams are fascinating and I can't wait to see just what they mean. I am guessing that Spike and Buffy are going to somehow form some new entity by joining up (go Spuffy). Meret is still a delight in any form.

| The dream was nicely written. The symbolism was there, subtle not obtrusive, and wonderfully incoherent. I really want to know what happens next. |
| You'd think that incoherent would be easier to write... Oh well. Thanks for the review! |
| |
| MarzBar | The Arms of Morpheus | 05/17/2006 03:41 am |

| |
| HPfan | The Arms of Morpheus | 05/17/2006 12:10 am |
| Okay, strange, cryptic dream - gotta be prophetic, right? Of course, by the time anyone figures out what all the weird imagery means, events will have alrady been set in motion, no doubt. Neat, mysterious chapter. Love to see where you're going with all this. |
| Oh yeah, all kinds of prophetic. And I'm sure they'll figure some of it out. XD Thanks for reviewing! |

Ooooo a green feather in hand....intriguing! A dream yet more...Spike won't just shrug that off.
Loved the Meret as a woman part too in fact the entire dream sequence was just the right mix of weird and understandable. Well done!

Good chapter.I love Dawn trying to get Spike and Buffy together.
I hope Xander doesn't skip out on the wedding.I loved that Spike wanted to talk about Angelus's preferences.In the commentary for "Hole In The World",Joss Whedon said that he thought Spike and Angel slept together in the past.I think Joss is a secret Spike/Angel shipper.Actually,so am I.I'm mostly as Spuffy shipper and a Cordy/Angel shipper,but sometimes I need to read Spike/Angel fan fics.Update soon. |

| I loved the first story and was very excited to see that you're posting a sequel. Thus far I am as entranced with this one as the first. Great characterization and great story. |
| Thank you! I'm glad you're liking this one too! |

CONGRATS!
Fab chapter. totaly loved Anya's "... should it have a no return policy?" can't wait for more. oh and where is the scooby coatl army? |
Thank you!
I have to stick with the reproductive timeline for coatls that I set up in ILwS. (Can you tell I have a biology background and am a total geek? Thought so.) |

Congratulations on the wins for League With Serpents...that was totally, totally deserved!
I am loving this sequel as well. The mystery is being doled out in nice chunks and is captivating. I am also loving the evolving relationships thanks to the assistance of Meret.

| great start. giles seems to have underestimated the abilities his slayer and the master vampire. thanks for the entertaining read. |
| I never really saw any of the watchers as having a good grasp on what a slayer could do, even though Giles was far ahead of the pack in that respect. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for reviewing! |

| Good chapter.I like how Spike and Buffy broke everything.Have you ever heard James and Alexis without the English accents?I have,and it sort of freaks me out.I can't watch James in Smallville(which I don't watch anyway)because of his real American accent.I'm not used to it.Update soon. |
| I wouldn't want to pay the carpentry bill after those two got into a fight. As for the accents, it was a little odd at first, but both of the are just such great actors that I'll watch whatever they do. Thanks for reviewing! |

Hey! I'm taking an Anthropology/Archaeology class in MesoAmerican studies!! Stay outta my brain! lol... my English class is in American Literature, though  |
| Oh, that was YOUR brain. Oops. ;-) Thanks for reviewing! |

| great chapter. I can't wait to get more. Love how Buffy is coming into her own and now Giles is really getting a chance to view both of them in action with the sparing. |
| I wanted to write a little eye opener for the watcher, and Spike and Buffy certainly deserved a lighthearted break after the end of the last story. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing! |

| Tender and sweet and characteristically Spike at the departure. I appreciate your description of Buffy being 'incapable of holding a grudge' and the effect this has on those around her. It's a very true attribute of her, an unintentional sting of associating with Buffy. Giles and Spike's reactions are perfect and touching. |
| I'm glad you agree with that take on her. I love the characters as much as the next fan, but their flaws made them more "real." Thanks for reviewing! |

| fallen_angel | Ventures | 04/19/2006 06:29 am |

Good chapter.I love Sweet Spike,
even if he denies it.Update soon.
Can you do one of my challenges,
please?Pretty please?Their numbers:228,208,206,205,and 174. |
| Thanks! I'll take a look, but no promises. Lord knows what my muse will make of things. She's kind of perverse sometimes. |

| Gotta love Meret riding in the car (reminds me of a cat I used to have) on the dashboard. Will we find out what's in the Crawford Street mansion soon? More story please. |
| Well, you'll get to find out a little bit about the stuff in the mansion soon, but I'll be keeping some of those secrets for much of the story. Thanks for reviewing! |

| Buffy carrying on oblivious...Spike's hair hmmm......Meret so sweet...I liked it. |
| Hmm, have you been sneaking peeks at my outline? ;-) Thanks for reviewing! |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Ventures | 04/18/2006 09:10 am |
| I bet Spike feels bad for getting Tara drunk now! Lmao... and yes, very scary hug... spare me the gory details, rofl |
| But, doesn't alcohol fix everything? ;-) Thanks for reviewing! |
| |
| kim | Ventures | 04/18/2006 07:57 am |
Awwwww!
I'm figuring that Tara has those hairs now for a reason. Hmm, what will she need to look in on Spike for?
And I love his relationship with Dawn. It's so sweet.
A very good point how you shone a light on Buffy being oblivious to other's pain. Before and after her death, she was always the last to notice when others were having a rough time, or a rough memory. Considering how Joyce and Dawn are, Buffy had to have taken after her father. She completely lacks that whole empathy gene.
And I think Meret might be able to choose what she sends on to others from Spike, since they have the primary connection? Though, I wouldn't put it past Spike to have that level of control for himself, anyway, since he lived with Dru all those years. |
| So much in this review I shouldn't comment on yet... As for Buffy's cluelessness, I thought it was an important trait to bring up in a story that deals with empathy/telepathy. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing! |

| Squee! A sequel! I've been hoping for the further adventures of Spike & Meret. Great start, can't wait to read more. |
| Meret was too much fun for me to never write again. ;-) Thanks for reviewing! |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | A Skeleton in the Basement | 04/12/2006 06:49 pm |
| *bops you* What kind of looney are you, asking what's the fun in lots of smut?? *looks horrified* |
| XD Looney, evil, it's all the same. |

| Cordykitten | A Skeleton in the Basement | 04/12/2006 05:36 pm |
I'm very happy to see that you started to post the sequel. And even more happy that I'm reading it now. Hehe.. I so can imagine: Spike wasn't quick enough out of the way for Buffy (because of the knot on the back of Spike's head). Oh yeah.. it's totally understandable why Spike is careful regarding his feelings for Buffy. Through Meret [I missed her too ] he has no secrets, no hides anymore, he is emotionally on show, like living in a goldfish bowl. He, kinda all the Scoobies are playing Peeping Tom.. so secrets left. And I still love the banter between Buffy and Spike. And that she took the money and works now as a team. *gg* yeah, I missed Meret A web of fine metal filaments wrapping the skeleton.. I wonder if that happened when the body was still alive. Sounds scary, the jar too. And the way the crystal acted... Dangerous. ~ A good start! Looking forward to the next chapter :-D |
| Funny how a little dose of truth can throw the Scoobies' dynamic into a tailspin. ;-) Thanks for reviewing! |
| |
| A Skeleton in the Basement | 04/12/2006 08:41 am |
Oh hurrah a sequel with Meret! I am as excited as a dog with two tails. Lovely beginning. I am eagerly awaiting more.
Magic, as Spike has always said, is a dangerous thing. Interested to see what (if any) importance that it is Angel's old place too.
Kathleen |
| I'll stay mum on the spoilers for now. ;-) I'm curious to see how much I telegraph my twists. Thanks for reviewing! |

| Morrigan | A Skeleton in the Basement | 04/11/2006 06:20 pm |
| So glad you decided to continue this story.  Can't wait to see where this one takes us! |
| I thought too much about a flight of Scooby coatls to not come up with a few related plot bunnies during the last story. ;-) Thanks for the review! |
| |
| kim | A Skeleton in the Basement | 04/11/2006 05:28 pm |
More snake-ish creatures...maybe you've been working around them too long, hon.....
Liquor, watcher, airport....LOL. Spike does love his whiskey.
You really do have his voice down so well. |
| Hee hee! That's the only new snakish creature, but yeah, I couldn't resist. Thanks for reviewing! |

| Stacy | A Skeleton in the Basement | 04/11/2006 03:51 pm |

| As if I would shed light on a spoiler of that size this early in the game! Pfft. :-D Thanks for reviewing! |
