Aww, it was so sweet that they realized they were in love at the same time. This chapter was great and now I can't wait to read what's going to happen now that they'll meet face to face again. :D

Just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying this story. I love the way things are beginning to unravel and how they open up a bit more to the other with each chapter, letting us into all that's transpired between them in the past and how that has affected them to turn them into what they are today. I imagine after Buffy's confession that she loves him, maybe Spike will begin realizing that things are not always as others (Dru) have presented them. Can't wait for more!

I'm very interested in this story. And no, last chapter wasn't bad at all. I felt it was a nice twist that Harmony could actually change her ways and try to be a better sister for Buffy and Dawn. I loved this chapter, too, especially how protective Spike was of Buffy. I just hope she isn't scared of him now. More, please?

Aww, you made me cry, poor Joyce and Spike. It was so sweet of Spike that he wouldn't leave Buffy's side. Can't wait for more!

Oh, and about the note at the beginning, I'm so sorry that happened to you and I hope the situation gets resolved soon. It's just incredible that there are still persons that will plagiarize someone else's stories. I just don't understand, there's no merit in copying and pasting.

Author's Response: Yeah, I never undersood that either. It's just really pathetic. Her stories are being hidden from the public right now and her account will soon be deleted. Thank you and I'm glad you liked the chapter.

I got a little behind with my reading, so expect a lot of reviews from me from this chapter on. :)

Aww, poor Mathew, I'm sad he died, but I guess it was for the best in his case. I'm glad and relieved that Buffy is alright and out of the hospital, though. :) Wonderful chapter!

Awww, *sniffles* that was a perfect ending. And Buffy's idea of naming the baby Matthew was so endearing. I absolutely adored this story and I'm sorry to see it end, but I guess all good things have to someday, don't they? I'll be waiting for your next story. :)

Summary: When Spike wins something unexpected over a game of cards, he ends up with a most unlikely crypt-mate and a mission to help a newly resurrected Buffy. With an empathic serpent setting up shop in his head, a scheming warlock on his tail, and a bothersome change in his relationship with the Scoobies, Spike finds himself in the position to save the slayer he loves, the world, and maybe himself in the offing.

Nominated at the Love's Last Glimpse Awards, Round 13 for best original character, Round 15 for best saga, best Spike characterization, best plot, and best villain, the Spark and Burn Awards, Round 1 for best plot, best Spike characterization, and best original character, and the Blood Ties Awards, Round 4 for best original character.

Yay! Thank you for updating so soon, for another wonderful chapter and for making even clearer everything about Meret and her bond with Spike. I adore the way you're writing Spike, i think you have an amazing insight into him, this is one of the best characterizations of him that I've read. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I'm glad that you like my take on Spike. It was something I worried about before posting, especially after I tossed in so many quirks and background stories. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 11/28/2005 Title: Chapter 6: Distrust Fund

This is turning out to be one of my favorite stories ever. The characterizations are so dead on, and not just Spike, every one is just perfect in their role. Spike was so him when he gave the money he'd made to Giles and I loved that he added that he'd key his car if he pocketed any of it. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: I'm relieved that people are liking my take on the Scoobies as well because they show up more and more as the story progresses. Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, wow! This was such an intense chapter. Poor Spike and Dawn. I really hope Meret and Buffy are safe. I'm so glad that Spike killed Maclin, but I really hope he's okay after that. More soon, please?

Summary: Buffy Summers has known of her calling since her freshmen year at Sunnydale High. Now in her senior year, after keeping the secret between herself and her Watcher alone, the unexpected happens. She helps Spike Emerson, a fellow student, deal with the pain of losing those he loved, even though Spike clearly holds a strong hatred for her, thinking that she is responsible for the pain in his past. But then prophecies are discovered that define his purpose, and it’s realized that him and Buffy meeting was not a coincidence. An unforeseen circumstance presents itself, and Buffy chooses to keep it a secret as long as she possibly can. With a new threat rising, prophecies that explain Spike’s existence, secrets being kept from those that protect her, and feelings developing for a man she once hated, Buffy is forced to question not only her sanity, but whether her own existence is worth holding onto.

Somehow I missed this chapter before, but it works great for me as I now have another wonderful chapter to read. This story is awesome and I loved that Buffy has friends that care for her, even if her family doesn't. And of course, I adored that Spike could see through Buffy's rough exterior to know that she needs help. Off to read more. :D
