Author's Response: Yup, things are beginning to look up. There might be a bump or two left in the road, but nothing too major, I promise. I'm glad you liked the chapter sweety, thanks for the review. Hugs.

First of all i know that this is only fiction. But girl the way you write it seems so real that i cant help but get irritated and loath Buffy so much! Even with the change of heart in this chapter i still wouldnt be able to accept her for Spike! She obviously doesnt know the meaning of love! For her the perfect boyfriend would be someone who is a professional in bed! If a man doesnt satisfy her physically Buffy wouldnt give even give them a minute of her time just like what happened with all her previous boyfriends and recently Wesley? Should sex be the only basis in a realtionship? Sooo shallow!! Finally she has met her match with Spike. But even with his expertise in bed she cant still accept him because of his profession? A profession that she had known from the start! Her indiscretion has caught of with her and she wants out after leading Spike on. And now that she had known the true identity of Spike she suddenly realized that she love him? And would devote the rest of her life with him? After being deaf and blind to all Spike pleadings? What a hypocrite! I hope Spike in the end would not be too hasty to jump to her loop once again! He has seen in his own eyes how fickle and a whore she could be! A girl like that cannot be trusted and would not remain loyal in the end. Rupert and Jenny dont know what really happened. If they had known they wouldnt let Buffy near Spike again!
Author's Response: I'm glad you acknowledge its only fiction, some people can get so bent out of shape over things. It's good though, that any writing I've done can get you into the story enough to get riled up - its a compliment for an any author. If it moves you emotionally in anyway, I've done my job - okay, at the expense of making Buffy a bitch, LOL.
All the points you've made are valid, and in a real world situation, if this were to occurr, I couldn't agree with you more. It shows you're mature enough you can see through the BS. I must say, I've enjoyed every review you've left immensly, its helped me to think deeper, beyond my plans for chapters, about things I can add in. Particularly this review. I may yet make some changes to what I was going to present. If your interest, email me... I really wouldn't mind. You've been helpful without even knowing it. I've said before in an a/n that I get some really great ideas based on reviews and its the truth.
Thanks so much for the review sweety. Hugs you tight.

i love this story, read it all over the weekend, update soon, i want to see how it ends!
nicky
Author's Response: Oh wow, very cool. I'm so glad you enjoyed it sweety. WIth any luck if the muse remains in his giving mood, I'll be updating in a few short days. Thanks so much for the reviedw. Hugs you tight.

I love this fic soooooo much!! you're such a good writer!!
Author's Response: Awww, thank you so much honey. I'm thrilled you're enjoying the story and I'll continue to try my best. Smoochies.

trust spike to crawl inside a bottle and hide when things get bad, that's not alcoholism, that's anasthetics. loved the way you portrayed Jenny. looking forward to more. good for lorne, getting buffy to admit her feelings. cookies for the muse
Author's Response: Oh yeah. He's William, but he also has some Spike in him too. Typical SPike-like behavior. *Giggles*, I like that word you chose, 'anasthetics'... very appropriate. Oh yay, I'm glad you like Jenny. I just like writing her as Rupert's opposite, the ying to his yang, lol. Thanks for such an awesome review sweety, the muse eats the cookies and smiles contentedly.

I do love the kiss. It was so funny to see this one between Cordy and Wes in the show and now, reading it - funny.
And she was so suborn and but now she called him and everything will be okay. But this means that this story comes to end too, and this so not good. :( But it is totally okay for me when there is something, anything to read. :D Hug you and thanks for info again.
Author's Response: Ahhhh yes... that was taken directly from the Cordelia/Wesley kiss on btvs because hello, ewwwww. I like Wesley, but in no way do i imagine him having any chemistry with Buffy whatsoever. As for the story coming to an end... soon, but not very soon, *winks*. Thank you so much my friend for the review. Smoochies to you.

Well, aren't you just the little busy beaver.... what.... did you find a case of RedBull while unpacking and you and muse drank the whole thing, stayed up all night and wrote? Well, this chap just proved what I've always believed.... nothing is so wrong that it can't be fixed by chocolate (decadence cake that is). With the utterance of a few words.... William, choc cake and Grisanti’s, Buffy has FINALLY put 2 and 2 together and called Lorne! I loved the last part.... do you think he'll be sober by then....well Auntie and Uncle.... time for an intervention to help get him there isn't it! But beware, if Williams drunk, you may get tears, but if Spike is who you try to sober up... you might get clobbered so DUCK!
Wonderful update and thank you so much for not dragging out the angst... this couple needs all the help they can get and angst isn't helpful.
And can I just say that my holiday weekend truly took on a holiday attitude when I discovered another update of this spectacular tale was already up! Thank you so much! No chill and marinade for the big reunion scene (yes?) comming up very soon (I hope)!
Hugs you tightly (and an Eskimo kiss for muse)!
Author's Response: What can I say? There are times, for real, when my muse goes ballistic and won't let me do anything but work on a story. It's hard to keep up with what he tells me to write and I do type pretty fast. Granted I didn't get a lick of housework done yesterday for his efforts, but hey... I liked the results.
LOL, chocolate fixes everything and I loved your take on whether its Spike or William that one finds drunk and the likely reaction.
Your welcome on the 'not dragging out the angst' thing. Truthfully I can't stand writing it. I think I'm built to write more comedic style fics. Maybe its my twisted sense of humor and the fact I feel like a hapy person most of the time.
As for the 'get-together', well, its coming up soon, but perhaps not as soon as everyone would like. No more 'bad' angst though.
Thanks for the lovely review my friend. Smoochies to you from me and the muse.

omg omg omg im totally spazzing update soon sweets! i absolutely lurve your story ;]
Author's Response: Hee hee, well at least I ended this chappy on a hopeful note unlike the last 2 chapters. I'll be working on the next soon darling, I promise. Thanks for the review. Hugs.

Date: 05/29/2007 - 12:44 am Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
They should have offered to fligh her to England to corner the bleached boozer! *bounces*
Author's Response: ROFL, I like that, 'bleached boozer'. Thanks for the review sweety, you always give me a right good giggle.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 11:49 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
Yay!!! It was such a pleasant surprise to check this site and find an update. :) But my own mysterious psychic abilitites told me there would be one from you, so it wasn't so much a surprise that you'd updated as it was this fic again! :) Haha. I'm lame. But yay, good chapter!!! And Lorne and Anya are so shagging. :P I loves it. And this fic! Looking forward to more! Oh, and most definitely William getting drunk a few times after heartache doesn't make him an alcoholic. :P Many tend to go down that path after our hearts are broken.
Author's Response: LMAO - psychic abilities... I bet you were thinking it was IAN??? I'm working on that too, *holds hand up swearing its the truth*. A-HA!!! So you think there is some 'Lornya action going on? My answer... could be rabbit, could be, *winks*. Glad you see that William isn't turning into an alcoholic so much as just wallowing in his sorrows - so don't want to write that kind of thing. Thank you so much for the lovely review hon. Huggles.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 10:14 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
Wow, I was surprised to see another chapter but very happy. I'm not so mad at Buffy anymore, she better do right by him now, i really love this story, all your stories
Author's Response: Good, I'm glad you're not as upset with her anymore. She realizes what she's done and she will seek to make it right. no matter what it takes. Awwww, thanks so much sweety, what a nice compliment, I'm blushing. Hugs you tight.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 10:07 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
When I asked for a quick update I honestly wasn't expecting it to be that quick but yay!
Author's Response: LMAO, what can I say? It really did bother me leaving things the way they were last chapter and apparentely my muse too. Thanks sweety, I'm happy you liked it. Hugs.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 09:38 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
it was great, PLEASE finish In the army now!?!?!?!?!?! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: ROFL, I swear to God, I really do. I speak the truth when I say I'm working on it right now and just taking breaks to answer reviews. Thanks sweety. Naughty smoochies from my muse to you as he's cooking up some hot stuff for IAN.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 08:59 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
I was soo mad at Buffy she can be a really B**** some times. Poor Spike, I hope things work out soon
Great update.
(P.S I'm still a little mad at Buffy)
Author's Response: *Giggles*, I'm not surprised anyone would still be mad with Buffy. She was a right bloody bitch sitting on her high horse for so long. She'll come down a notch or two, you can count on that, *winks*. Next chapter I'll press through to get to the good stuff and I think most people will be pleased with what the muse has cooked up, at least I hope so. I'm glad you liked the chappy hon and thanks for the review. Hugs and kisses.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 08:36 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
I'm so good to you? Nah, I'm just corresponding to how wonderful you are to me. *smooches* Loved the chapter, I really like that Buffy is finally realizing what a mess she made of things and that she needs to make ammends. Can't wait to read where this will be going now. :D
Author's Response: Yes, you know you are, hee hee. Yup, I think next chapter is going to keep the story rolling right along at a good clip. *Crosses fingers that muse remains active*. Thanks again darling, smoochies.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 08:09 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
Woo hoo!!! I'm so glad Buffy finally realized what she wanted. And I loved how protective Spike's family and friends were, it's good to know he has so many people looking out for him. Fantastic chapter! :D
Author's Response: Thanks hon. I'm glad you liked the turn of events. It was time for Buffy to pull her head out of her ass, lol. Indeed Spike has many people on his side and they all want the best for him because deep down, he's just plain William and quite sensative. Thanks for the review sweety. WIth any luck, the next chapter will be coming in a few short days. Hugs and kisses.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 08:07 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
I like the part where buffy didn't like how william haven't called her in two weeks. spike is suppose to be love's bitch and call me every second because I'm buffy.
Buffy has gotten me so mad in this story. But you write her perfectly with the buffy from the show.
i hope that buffy has to grovel a little before william gets with her so easily.
i always look forward to read a new chapter from this story.
Author's Response: Oh yes, she sees herself for exactly what she's been. We'll see a turn-around in her behavior now that she has her head pulled from her ass, lol. Grovel you say.. hee hee, she just may have to and that's all I'm saying, *winks*.
I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter sweety. Thanks for the review. Smoochies.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 08:02 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
Nah, I didn't think he'd become an 'alcoholic'. There's a difference between temporarily drowning your pain, and sinking into an addiction. Not that I recommend either! :)
I loved your reveal from Oz. Buffy just realized how much of a moron and bitch she's been. And Lorne could finally play his part now that someone was letting him!
And your Jenny is a hoot! Giles is so formal, in contrast. I bet they're so cute, though. It was a good place for William to go.
Author's Response: Exactly. I just didn't want anyone to think I was heading down that road. I wouldn't even know what to write if I'd chosen that path, it's way too dark a subject for my taste.
Yup, everyone got to play a part in this one and the cumulative effect it had on Buffy was well needed. I'm glad you like my Jenny. That's how I always think of her... Rupert's opposite. Thanks so much for the review darling. Hugs you tight.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 07:46 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
you so kick ass!!! i'm in a bit of a pissy mood and this really helped me out a lot. thanks so much for posting so soon. yep, buffy's made a boo boo. glad she's trying to fix it. loved it soooooo much. i'm on the road to feeling better already. more soon.
Author's Response: LMAO, well thank you sweety. Glad I could pull you from a bad mood. I was in a bad mood after writing the last couple of chapters and was uber excited for the readers to get a break from bitchy Buffy for a change. Thanks for the review sweety....you're a doll. Huggles.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 07:03 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
Oh I was thinking bad things through this chapter. We won't go into any of them lets just say I am glad it is only acholol.
Yay for Buffy, or should I say Oz and Willow.
Author's Response: LOL, thought someone might. It's fairly obvious that William has spent some time in the bottle, but that's all it is. There's plenty of people that sometimes wallow in their sorrows over the drink for a time after a bad break-up without being or becoming an alcoholic. So nope, nothing serious there to worry about. Thanks so much for the review hon, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Kisses.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 06:57 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
That was nice... if William/Spike can make it back safe and sound... or alive. Oh, you said no dark paths.
Glad Army is still on your mind. Does baby make three? A girl please 'cause Spike would be way too tough on a boy, but very protective of his girl.
Enjoyed.
Author's Response: Nope, no dark paths. Perhaps a moment of suuuuper mild angst, but that's it. My muse really does not like writing angst like this. It may seem pretty mild to some but I didn't care for it one bit. It made me feel emotionally down just trying to write it, like torture.
Hmmmm, IAN baby makes three??? I won't say yes but I won't say no either, *mwuahh haa haaaaaa.* The muse has a trick or two left up his sleeve for sure. But in staying true to the length most chapters have been, that's partly the reason in its delay.
Thanks so much for the lovely review hon. Hugs you tight.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 06:55 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
I believe that is called that moment of clarity.......Yea!!!!!
I was so excited to see your update, hope you are feeling better, and I must say a great update it is. I think we all always expect rocky roads with our duo, but I just love it when things start looking promising. You know "that true love will win out" stuff, at least eventually, it makes it so much sweeter. Hugs for you and your muse. good thoughts to you Debbie
PS Did you get my note about the Aquaphor ?
Author's Response: Hee hee, yup, clarity it is, AND she's feels like the ass she is. I'm feeling much better thanks. I think it will be just one more week and I can go out in public again, lol. I'm so thrilled that you see things are looking up... and they are. There's love in the air and a determined woman. On the aquaphor, I started using that as soon as I woke up from the surgery. Unfortunetly after about 4 days, it made me break out in a rash so the dr switched me over to neosporin and that seems to keep my face moist and not irritated. Thanks hon, and for the review too. Smoochies to you my friend.

finally, buffy. you need to learn how to listen. That has always been buffy's problem. I hope that spike doesn't make it too easy for her. although, i bet he is.
i love this story. more please.
Author's Response: Oh yes, she's definetely wised up. As for Spike, well, I wouldn't say he'll make it exactly easy on her, but we'll see. Thanks for the review sweety, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Date: 05/28/2007 - 06:36 pm Title: There’s Two Sides to Every Story... and Then There’s the Truth
SO GLAD you posted again, and that Buffy has come to her senses. But why do I think that it's Spike's turn to do something stupid in his drunken stupor?? I hope I
am wrong, but it's always something with these two.
Love this story.
Author's Response: LOL, well I;m more than happy to post this chapter... I so hated it where I left it last. Yes, Buffy has come to her senses. As for Spike... well... can't say as of yet. Glad you enjoyed the chappy hon, thanks for the review. Huggles.

Date: 05/27/2007 - 10:59 pm Title: PS I Love You
i felt so bad for william ;_; my heart really goes out to the poor guy :[ hopefully buffy will get over her pigheaded stuborness soon i dont think my heart can take it lol anyways it was a good chapter sweetie and update soon :D
Author's Response: I know, I truly hated to go down this road, but it was with a purpose, I promise. I'll get right on next chapter and will post soon sweety. Thanks so much for the review. Huggles.
