Oh, I'll read it, don't worry.

It's not your job to please me, absolutely not.
I always encourage new writers, etc.
I've written some pretty skanky Buffy's, Spikes, etc. myself so I don't judge.
It's just hard sometimes for me to read about ppl like this. (Could be because I've known ppl like this?)
Anyway, I will definitely be reading this story, no question.
I just hope that Spike and Buffy come to the realization, soon, that sex isn't the only thing in life.

Author's Response: cool, well thanks for that. although I don't know if you're going to like the direction this is going. and I don't think it's that they think it's the only thing in life. Buffy is just kind of grasping at straws in her life right now, and given the circumstances, I think a lot of young girls react this way. and spike...is being a very stupid man, no doubt. But I don't think that he believes it is, either.

Sorry, I don't like Spike, Buffy or Drusilla.
I guess I'm just a prude at heart...sigh.
I'll try to read on, but Spike is a bit of a prick to me in this.
Drusilla's just a ho, yes and Buffy isn't much better, sorry.

Ah to be a 16 yr old babysitter in Spike's household. That's about the hottest underage sex I've ever read! Nicely done. Kinda sweet and kinda dirty. I'll be needing more this tale please. Your sills in erotic story-telling are exceptional! Thanks for sharing!

Author's Response: heee! thanks. glad you enjoyed it. update will be soon, any day now. just waiting on a beta. there is both more sweet and more dirty to come ;)

A red-hot story tingling with energetic, free and easy sex and attitude that has just got to go pear-shaped because nothing, even in the most simplest of situations (and this is definitely, not) stays the same. Hearts will change, opinions will change (I'd lay money on it being Drusilla) and then this simple arrangement is going to become complex and messy and, well, the heady stuff that is vintage Spuffy.

Your narrative is natural and very evocative of the heat between Spike and Buffy.

Author's Response: very pretty compliments :) thanks a ton, glad you're enjoying it! things are *definitely* gonna get complicated

Just want to clarify, I don't mind genuine feelings between Spike and Buffy. Contrary to what people say or quack (hehe //iz 12), they had that on the show too. What I love about them is that they could have romantic feelings for each other without devolving into a goopy flowery mess...for the most part anyway. And when they did get a little schmoopy. They (and we the audience) earned those moments, dammit! :D

"if I wanted fluffy I'd write Angel/Buffy"

Good Lordi does Bangel suck. That's kind of like a given as far as I'm concerned. Oh and Biley too. Total double standard hypocrite though because I'm a Spike/Dru fan and basically Spike/anyone really. But when all is said and done...well, there's a reason why 97.999% of the fanfic I read is Spuffy.

"don't be scrrrd."

Heh, notice the ghetto talk did you? I just use whatever's easiest to get my thoughts across. Be it with a OMG dude or a highly refined, word yo. *g*

Author's Response: :) I tend to be kind of a pairing slut...slash, het, three-way it's all good to me. I'll read Bangel if it's dark or in the hands of an author I trust. never really read Biley though, cuz I just don't see the point. I saw enough of that pairing on the show.

btvslover82,

I checked back just in case you did respond to my review.. THANK YOU for taking the time to address what I was saying! You did make me feel a bit better about the story. I can tell that you put alot of thought into your storyline and the characters. I WILL be reading your next update..How can I not? : D

Author's Response: aww thanks. glad you feel that way!

Oh, oh, please don't wimp out on the angst because of some wussy Spuffy shippers (sorry, but it's true). I'm gonna cry if this turns into some yucky fluffy fic....so opposite to the couple that I fell in love with on the actual show. I mean I know this is AU, but damn people be making my OTP totally unrecognizable. Might as well write crappy original fic, you know? Not that I'm saying your fic is crappy. So far? I think it's awesome. But I'm gonna be way diappointed if you don't follow your original vision.



Author's Response: no, this will not be fluffy, by any stretch of the imagination, although there will be genuine feelings for one another. I was just telling someone the other day that the fucked-upedness of their relationship is probably my favorite thing about it. dysfunction is fun to play with in fic. if I wanted fluffy I'd write Angel/Buffy (which is probably the only major buffyverse pairing that does not interest me at all outside of a threesome with Spike.)

if you like their dynamic on the show, I hope you won't be disappointed in this, since my model or tone I'm going off of is season 6 Spuffy, to an extent. I could not in good conscience make them sappy with the set-up I have right now. that's not real life. my plan is that any intimations of happily-ever-after will be done in such a way that you can pretend that it didn't end that way at all, though I think it will be handled in such a way that you won't need to.

glad you're enjoying it so far. don't be scrrrd.

Ok...Just read the first three chapters. Your writing is truly fantastic..and WOW...the sex is HOT!

Being completely honest, I am still on the fence on if I can stick with this one or not. Just like your warning did say..This is NOT fluffy-Spuffy. For me, It's just so hard when you get really into a certain ship to read a fic where, for instance, Spike is with somone else. I find myself torn between just letting myself enjoy a REALLY good story or opting out ! LOL (can I allow my Spuffy loving heart to hope that Spike will fall in love with Buffy?)

This is really an interesting fic.. This definitely test the waters of many moral issues..I have NO problem with an open marriage storyline, and have read quit a few underage sex stories for that matter...but the moral issues here are a bit more bogged down. It seems that Spike and Dru are expecting way to much emotional maturity from this 16 year old girl....Or worse, they don't seem to care about the emotional implications for Buffy. So yeah..you have got a lot of angst to work with : D
At any rate, really great job writing this one!

Author's Response: :) well I'm glad you have enjoyed what you have read so far. thanks for giving it a shot.

as for sticking with it, obviously that's something you'll have to come to yourself, but my little writer's heart hopes that you will. this is ending up being more of a labor of love than I expected...I embarked on this just wanting some hot babysitter pwp. but apparently I'm not capable of extended pwp. anyway, I have been wrestling with this very problem of the Spike/Dru vs Spike/Buffy elements of this story. because *I* am comfortable having the uber-realistic, not-Spuffy-friendly ending, but do I want to do that to my readers? because I recognize that Spuffy readers, especially of the AU variety, generally want the happy ending (myself included, most days). but I don't want to take the story to an unrealistic place.

So, I'll give you an idea of where this seems to be going in my head at the moment, so that you can judge whether or not you care to continue. obviously, Spike and Buffy have amazing chemistry, and I think that genuine romantic feelings are inevitable there on both sides, especially without the cannonical baggage. so yes, you can allow your Spuffy loving heart to hope. But Spike *does* have genuine love for Dru, and more importantly, a commitment to her. not to mention a child with her. And would the Spike that we saw in cannon abandon her? we know he wouldn't. however, as we know from cannon and in this story, Dru does not necessarily have the same scruples or priorities. and that's all I'm going to give you for now :) I think I may have found a solution that satisfies me and you, is what I'm saying.

the moral issues...I think are as important as you recognize them to be, and I hope I end up honoring that. I think that they are all good people here (although...Dru is more ambiguous, but that's just cannon). who just do some bad things (and don't we all, at one point or another?). and you're right, they *are* expecting too much emotional maturity from a 16yo girl, which I intend to be more out of carelessness of the 'oops' variety, rather than of the 'we're just using you' variety. I think Spike in particular is just clueless. he feels it happening, but he doesn't get how much of an issue it is, until he *really* gets it. and this dynamic of expectation vs reality is pretty much the foundation of all the angst I've got going on here.

that was long and probably gave up too much, but I hope it helped give you enough to make an informed decision about whether to continue. either way, thanks for the compliments!

This story is awesome. I think I would be comfortable about the open marriage thing though, as long as everyone was safe. clean, and the baby was taken care of. But this story is hot, so keep up the good work, and update soon. Thanx

Author's Response: yeah, in my (not personal, but vicarious) experience, open marriages are emotionally extremely tricky at best, and I think it takes an exceptional commitment in order to pull it off. I would never get tangled up in that mess, because there is so much potential for drama. which, I avoid in my personal life, but that very property makes it fun to play with for angsty fiction :) it was important to me that the baby was young enough that he was going to remember none of this, because things are gonna get rocky, and I don't fancy scarring a kid for life in the process. II'm so glad you enjoy it so far, I'm updating weekly. thanks for reading!

oh, i can see her getting hurt. actually crushed, i just do not see it ending well. poor buffy. getting involved with a married man never, never ends well

Author's Response: yeeeeaaaaaahhhh, it's not really going to end well. well, I like my characters to end up ok, so I do promise you that *she* will be ok, in the long run, and *he* will be ok, in the long run. but I think they're both going to learn some hard truths. this is definitely not going to be fluffy spuffy. but I hope it ends up being enjoyable, and rings true. and maybe, just maybe, there will be a little something in the far-future for the fluffy-spuffy cravers. thanks for reading!

Author's Response: indeed, there is trouble on the horizon. much much trouble and teenage angst. thanks for reading!
