This is a great premise and you're handling it very well. The events leading into the story have certainly altered Buffy and Spike and you're doing a great job conveying their changed circumstances and their emotional impact. This cowed, trained Spike is already interesting, and I'm looking forward to learning more about the past four years. Buffy, too, is well written.

I'm really enjoying this and can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Am so glad that this is entertaining you and hope you will continue to enjoy. It encourages me that you can see the reasons for their changed demeanour - so far. More next Monday.

Wow! This is your first fic...unbelievable. I am so mexmerized by this story. I really am being emotionally jerked around. I don't know if I can wait a whole week for the next chapter. You are an amazing writer!

Author's Response: Thank you, gaillee! Don't mean to emotionally jerk you around - well, maybe a little! Sorry for the wait but that's just how it has to be (not the fastest I'm afraid). Your flattery makes me blush. Ta, ever so.

Not suprised that Spike is misunderstanding Buffy's intentions here. After all..he's been treated like dirt. What in the world does Buffy walk in on when she gets back downstairs?
Awwww shoot! Gonna' make us wait a whole week before we find out what happens next! Well..Looking forward to it anyway ! : )

Author's Response: Hi, DaniD! Yep, communication issues abound - for now. Hmm. I know what she walks in on and so will you next week!

I love a story that can really get a rise out of me, and this one is pressing all the right buttons. You've pretty successfully sent me into mother bear mode. I want to protect Spike and kill everyone involved in his capture and "training." Kudos! It's great to find an author who can evoke that kind of visceral response. Waiting a week between chapters is torturous, but you seem impervious to bribes. Oh well... Until next Monday then!

Author's Response: Hey, weyrwolfen! So happy you are enjoying and can quite understand your desire to protect our vamp. Sorry about the wait - not the fastest I'm afraid. Crikey, what will happen if I take a holiday! LOL Only joking. Until next Monday.

This is a really interesting story. Will Buffy and Spike ever have a conversation? I like to read what they are thinking but I am ready for a little interaction. Can't wait to read next Monday's update.

Author's Response: Hi, Bridget. I'm counting on them talking soon - just remember they've only actually been in each others company for a few hours so far. Hope the interaction coming up with satiated your needs!

Hmmm... I really can't wait to see what happens next. I really feel sorry for Spike in this story and hope things become better for him soon - let him have his fire back. *LOL*

Fantastic chapter. ;)

Author's Response: Hi, luxferi. Fire, eventually. Embers - soon (maybe!). At least I know you care, hun!

I really like what you are doing with this story. Thanks for your note, it did seem like a challenge response. I can hardly wait for more Spuffy interaction.

Author's Response: Thank you, Ruthie! Glad the note cleared things up - I should have done it earlier but ... Happy you are enjoying and hope it continues that way.

Uh-huh.. W&H wants Spike too? Not so good... hopefully the Council has enough money. Hehe she won the biding :) Mmm seems as if Spike knows more about Angel's whereabouts then Buffy does now (W&H). Poor Spike... it will take him some time to get 'normal' again.

Author's Response: Hi, cordykitten! I reckon the Council have enough dosh to spare - doesn't mean they like parting with it though! W&H are nasty - enough said. I am with yo that it could take longer than a chapter or two to get Spike 'normal' . How normal do we want him to be, I wonder?

I really love this story. I'm reading the "other one" out there too but this one is different and very compelling. I really feel for Spike. I'll look forward to your next update.

Author's Response: Thanks, Carol! It's lovely to get a response like this - read lots of stories and enjoy them. More next week.

you kept your word! :D
spike seems to be quite broken, uh? well, slavery could really do that! and their first meeting was very touching... i loved to see buffy so caring and sympathetic for once! i'm wainting to see their reactions and thoughs after that...
uhmm... this time i think i just have to wait for your update... sorry but i can't bribe you with a laptop! lol

Author's Response: Hi, klylu! Bribes would make no difference! And I always try to keep my word. LOL Am glad you are finding the differences interesting and believable. More coming next week - Monday I hope if RL is kind. Hope to see you again then. BFN

Man...I feel soo bad for Spike in this story! I would be happy to see him get some of his pluck back. I hope he's not to aftraid of the slayer, cause that would take alot of the fun out of it. : )

Author's Response: Hi, DaniD! Mmm, getting Spike's pluck back! Sounds like a plan - but how? And in how long? An hour? A day? A month? A ... You get the idea! There will be fun but hopefully it will be in context with the current scenario. I do hope you continue to enjoy - and if you ever stopped reading please let me know why - I aim to entertain. BFN

Great story and very entertaining. Poor Spike and the saga of his mistreatment. I'm interested in what Tara and Willow find out once they start looking at Spike's files. Looking forward to more. THanks!

Great update. I hope this is the last we hear of Wolfram and Hart. Although, somehow I don't imagine it is.

Author's Response: Sorry, Bridget, I think I'm not giving anything away by saying mention will be seen of them again.

Great chapter.
I love challange fics and there is another story going as an answer to the same challange ("Belonging") and i'm reading both.
I must say i like yours better. It's more "juicy" and I just can't wait for the next chapter.. Waiting for it the whole week is like a torture. ;-)
But I hope it will be worth it!

Author's Response: Thanks, Maddy! have just amended my post to let everyone know that this is NOT a challenge fic - although I can see how folk might think that (and I would have been very rude not to have credited it if it were so - am not a rude person, generally!). I do hope you will continue to read and enjoy. And I have no wish to torture you (yikes! will be setting up my own dungeon next!) - and now am under pressure to make sure it's worth it! No fair!

A most excellent chapter. Your description of Spike's painful discomfort had me squeezing my knees together in sympathy - and I'm a girl!

Poor vampire, he's all but broken, isn't he? And, Buffy is pretty much unaware of the extent of his suffering, although Tara's senses were going haywire. I do hope Willow manages to hack into their system.... and maybe de-activates Spike's chip, huh?

I think what I like most about this story is that it looks as though it's going to be a novel adventure and it has a bigger cast than just Buffy and Spike (who I adore actually, but a good story needs more than two players to sustain interest) which broadens interest and doesn't constrain the writer. You took the time to give the characters working at the auctions some depth too, which is nice.

Yep... I'm liking this story. Thank you, pet.

Author's Response: Thank you, Chrissie! Your kind praise warms my heart and makes me want to write more and better (was that good grammar?). Spike has been sorely used, and I use the term advisedly - but Buffy should be spared the odd thought or two. OK, time's up for Buffy thinking! LOL So pleased you like. Hope to see you back again.
