Seems like Spike and Buffy could really be good for each other :) And since i don't believe I've said so yet, that really is a beautiful banner Mandi made for you :)


This was another great chatper..sorry I don't have a better way of telling you so.

Author's Response: Thanks for the praise, sweetie. Mandi's banner is tres cool and I'm so lucky that Schez requested it for me. I'm hoping that Spike and Buffy will be good for each other, too. BFN, hun.

Spike's so...not Spike-like in this story (at least so far) but at the same time he really is...what I mean is that the way you're writing him is how I really think he woudl behave if in that situations--(this might only be true for me) but spometimes Spike is hard to write and you're doing a great job :-)

(Me being home sick is what's finally letting me catch up on the fics I want to read but it's alos making me leave not the best reviews...even if I try to; sorry)

Author's Response: I am so chuffed you see my interpretation of Spike as feasible. As it didn't happen that way in canon (and who would have watched if it did?) it is all in the way characters could have changed given different circumstances. Sorry to hear you're sick and do hope you'll be right as rain soon. And thank you again for taking the time to leave word. So kind.

Not usually a fan of "slave" fics; but this one is simply enthralling. Wow! Great writing, compelling story, fascinating dystopic vision of what might have been; had the initiative won.

Did I say "wow"?

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you're liking. More differences for you next chapter that I hope you will enjoy. *grins* BFN

I enjoyed the tension of the chase and Spike's observations of your demon-lite Sunnydale. The changes The Initiative has wrought would certainly appeal to city planners. Spike and Buffy's feelings of desperation during the pursuit were nicely realized, and Spike's role playing to get staked was vividly written. Angel's call was an excellent plot device to bring emotions to a head. I'm looking forward to the arrival of Angel.

Author's Response: Thank you! I suppose things could have gone more slowly...in a nursing home, but things were bound to start happening on the hellmouth. Angel arrival not imminent just yet - but soon. *grins* Thanks for your review. Much appreciated, hun. BFN

There have been a few stories wit h the 'vampires as slaves' idea but I really think you've got the best explanation/back story :-)

This is a great start (first fic or no)...looking forward to reading more of it

First off, thank you for updating! Secondly, Giles coming down? Will they know (or feel) it's Ethan and not Giles? And where *is* Giles?! *LOL* So many questions. But don't worry, I'm not seeking answers... I know everything will unfold as they go. As for Buffy, I applaud her unselfishness! ;D ;D

Author's Response: My pleasure on the updating - glad I could do it! You know I won't answer - and you don't want me to really - but I do love to see the questions (reminds me of all the stuff I've gotta answer!). *hugs*

ops! he deleted the messange, right? i'm quite scared for him... not about what buffy will do when she discovers it... cos i know that, sooner or later, she will discover the thuth about angel and he won't be a happy camper anymore! i hope angel will try to get spike... just to be knoked off buffy's house by the revoked invitation...

Author's Response: Hi, klylu! I see you are getting into the vengeance vibe here, sweetie. LOL next chappie is up now so hope you will like. BFN

I'm glad your Muse seems to be back again :) I wasn't able to read it before so I'm doing it here this time. I was too tired yesterday to enjoy it and be able to write a comment. ~ Oh I thought first Spike would mind when Buffy asked him; but he is all game now :) Spike is adapting being with Buffy now. ~ Uh-huh.. the Initiative is now working on Operation Conquer? Good that at last a little group is trying to stop them now. ~ Oh Ethan is indeed playing his own game ;-) At last for now Ethan won't give Spike to Angel. I wonder if the other were right with what they guessed :) Till next time.

Author's Response: Hey, you! Hope you're feeling less tired now, sweetie. I think that the steps forward with Spike will be accompanied by a few backward ones as well - nothing is static. And, yep, Ethan definitely has his own agenda here. Thaks so much for reviewing, hun. Hope to see you somewhere next week! *hugs*

Very interesting. Can't wait to see what Spike did and what Angel has to say.

Ethan taking time out of his busy plotting just to muck up some Council information made me laugh. I also enjoyed his inner dialogue about his conversation with Angel. Angel's pursuit of Spike is heating up, how is Buffy going to react to his offer? Willow's discover of "illegal" vampires working the vineyard is an interesting plot development. Do they have some bearing on The Initiative's plans? I'm looking forward to finding out.

Author's Response: Thank you, sweetie. It's funny that you're the only one to comment on those vamps at the vineyard - very observant (even if I'm not saying anything else!). So glad you're still enjoying and letting me know. BFN, hun.
