Author's Response: Hee hee. Is it wrong that I'm taking sadistic pleasure from these reviews? Thanks for commenting!

I just know you are going to make this all better. Right?
Author's Response: That is probably a good guess, but I also kind of like leaving you guys in suspense. :-D Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 01/02/2006 - 07:07 pm Title: Crossing the Rubicon
I just can't wait. I need to know what will happen. I so love this original story.
Author's Response: Hee hee. Thank you!

OH NOES!!!!!!
Author's Response: OH YES!!!! Ahem, sorry...

Still liked it ... he's not dust.
Author's Response: Don't give me any ideas... ;-) 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?
Author's Response: Well, since everyone asked so nicely... I'm glad you liked this chapter. Thank for reviewing!

Uh-huh.. you A/N leaves me to think the worst! On to the reading: Oh my.. what a way to put it: There might not be a Hellmouth once this spell goes down. But he's right because there will be nothing left. I wonder who "she" is Maclin speaks of. There is another one behind him? Oh my god.. now I know why you wrote the A/N.. I hope you don't take long to update again ~ that is really a verrrry big cliffhanger!
Author's Response: I must be a sadist, because cliffhangers are so much fun to write! Thanks for reviewing (and not making a voodoo doll of me)!

Wohoo he killed the bugger....now I wonder who was behind the warlock....guess I'll have to wait to find out.
Author's Response: Oh, I'm getting there. :-D Thanks for reviewing!

oh boy, very gripping chappy. Cant wait for the update.
Author's Response: Thank you!

oh my god.. and here i thought it's starting to get better with out much kidnapping and voilence.... oh well good job and waiting for more!!
Author's Response: "Dawn's in trouble. Must be Tuesday..."
I couldn't let them ride off into the sunset without a little finale kidnapping and violence. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Yikes! Talk about a cliffhanger!
I like the contrast between Spike and Dawn's emotional states and interations before and after their capture by the bad guys; very effective. I got a real sense of Spike's rage. The link with Meret is used to good effect here too; great way to give us the information.
And Dawn and Spike decorating the tree while watching Rudolph is just plain cute!
Author's Response: Hmm. Empathic characters do help when you decide to write from a single character's P.O.V... I'm such a cheater! Thanks for reviewing!

I was able to read two chapters at once, and they are both wonderful. This one is very exciting and full of tension, and the previous one is a lovely progression showing us Spike beginning to belong and ultimately feeling happy. Loved the idea of Merit napping on Buffy's pillow.
Author's Response: Thank you! I hope I'm not giving anyone whiplash with the plot.

Drat... the one time I'm right about something, and I really, really wish I wasn't.
This Maclin is a tricky piece of work, isn't he. He knows too much and much seems to have been premeditated. Hopefully the cavalry will have him hoist by his own petard... soon. They must. He's far to confident. Spike deserves a break. You know it makes sense, pet.
*Eep... more of that 'Dum, de dum dum dummmmm' music*
Author's Response: Um, "break," yeah... I'm getting there. ;-) And don't worry. Maclin gets what's coming to him. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 12/31/2005 - 08:12 pm Title: Layers of Restraint
Wow, the actions really ramping up!
Love Meret's thought "We come" - she's really pissed. From the images she sent, Willow did the spell to prevent a spell on Meret. Hoping the coven really helped her for the short time she was there.
Can't wait for Buffy to get to see her gift from Spike.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

First a Happy New Year to you too!
Hehe.. Spike and Dawn fighting were fun :) *sigh* Not any longer: They got captured! Maclin was it, the one Spike won the egg from. I wonder how he did it, 'give' the egg to Spike. And what he's planning now! I hope you can update soon again. Take care!
Author's Response: Thank you! I should be posting pretty regularly from here to the end of the story.

Date: 12/31/2005 - 06:17 pm Title: Layers of Restraint
Love your story! Please write more soon!
Author's Response: I am. Thanks!

Evil cliff hanger! Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Hee hee. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 12/31/2005 - 04:50 pm Title: Layers of Restraint

Author's Response: Thank you!

Date: 12/31/2005 - 04:12 pm Title: Layers of Restraint
Waiting to see what this "pet project" is all about..
Author's Response: I hope I won't disappoint. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 12/31/2005 - 02:44 pm Title: Layers of Restraint
Ah, the plot thickens. . No doubt the scoobies are all working hard on getting to both of the captives. Can't wait to see what hapens next
Author's Response: Thanks! I just hope you guys don't stone me when you read the next chapter.

Date: 12/31/2005 - 02:29 pm Title: Layers of Restraint

Author's Response: Mwahaha!! Thanks for the curses... I mean feedback!

Author's Response: Thanks!

Yay an update I love this story so much and the growing relationship between buffy and spike without her being snooty is just wonderful.
Author's Response: I'm glad you're liking their dynamic. I certainly put it off long enough. ;-) Thanks for reviewing!

Amazing story. I wasn't sure what to expect but it looked good so i looked into it. It more then met my expectations. I am impressed and will be on the look out for more.
Author's Response: Thanks for giving it a try! I hope you keep enjoying the story. Thanks also for taking the time to review!
