I'm really enjoying the "take charge" Xan-man.
Author's Response: RandiGiles,
Xander was never my favorite character in Buffyverse, but I gained new respect for him in [b]Zeppo.[/b] After that, I believed that he could be more than he seemed. Of course, by season 7 , he reverted to the self-rightous SOB he always was. Thanks for the comment.

HOW THE HECK COULD YOU DAMAGE SPIKES MANLY BITS!!!!!!!! You've nearly castrated the bloke...How humiliatin..someones gonna have to tend to his 2-vegg.
Author's Response: The road to happiness is long and fraught with difficulties.. Buffy is all about taking care of her man. Thanks for the comment.

Very good chapter Aamah, poor Spike talk about having him by the short and curlies. That was love about and beyond the call of duty. I really enjoyed it, it was true to form for Giles to think Spike had gone bad, but I like how you don't make Giles and Xander the completely intolerant characters they are in a lot of otherwise good stories.

Author's Response: Thanks Chrissie,
It's time for them to grow up! Yes?
Glad you're still enjoying and thanks for the comment.

That's for sure! Thanks for commenting.

A very good chapter Aamah, Binnemon is really evil and cunning with it.
Oh poor Spike, what a cliffjhanger. Buffy must come to the rescue .
Chrissie
Author's Response: Thanks, Chrissie
Ever notice how bad things can come in threes? *G*

Like this story but I must say when making plans for this Binnemon guy what the hell is Giles thinking. He forget the first rule of planning, KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid.
Author's Response: Giles is a bit overwhelmed, I think.

You know for some odd reason this chapter reminded me of a very weird horror/scifi story where women's uteruses and men's penises had ripped free from the human's body and went bouncing off into the sky.
Author's Response: Musta missed that one! *G*
No flying penises here.

THANKS FOR THE NICE LONG UPDATE, GLAD SPIKE GO T TO TALK TO DAWN
Author's Response: Thank you. Sorry it's been a bit. Real life, you know. More Dawn later.

A lovely chapter Aamah. The interaction between Spike and Buffy was all that we Spuffy fans want.
I loved Xander in this as well, stealing Giles's cookies or biscuits as we Brits would say.
Chrissie
Author's Response: Hi ya Chrissie,
Glad you liked it. Just a little Spuffy luvin'. Thanks for commenting.

was so happy to finally see there was an update to your wonderful story looking forward for more of your tale thank you for a great read maggie
Author's Response: Maggie, me darlin'. I am so happy to oblige. The chapter was off at beta and it took a bit longer than expected. If it's any comfort, I worried about you guys wondering what happened to me. Thanks for your comment.

I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of detail you provide for your OCs. Of course that then means I have to actually THINK about the merit of their actions with consideration for their past experiences and can't just automatically default to my "if-they-ain't-on-Spike-and-Buffy's-side-then-I-don't-like-'em" setting (and YES I'm being sarcastic...a little thought with your fiction never hurt anybody LOL). Oh and a big YAAAAY for the more emotionally mature Buffy. But not so mature that you wouldn't let her knee Spike in the goolies though. Heh. What can I say...I'm a neanderthal sometimes! More soon please.
Author's Response: Hi K,
Once again, I am so happy for your comments. It's one way I'm sure that SOMEONE is reading.
Before I did any writing, I was always very cavalier about comments....Now I understand how much writers appreciate the feedback.
And to top it off, your comments always make me smile. Thanks.
It's a good way to start the day.

Kneed him in the bits yeah? Hah! Haha heeee...
*Places her hand over her mouth and tries to compose herself as her eyes twinkle merrily*
WAAAAHAAAHAAHAAHAahaahaha...hooooo...hee!
*Manages to draw a cleansing breath as her laughter finally loses some of its momentum*
Aherm...hmmm. Ahh. Yeah, good update that.
*Smiles goofily while wiping the tears from her eyes and hoping for another instalment from the wonderful author soon*
Author's Response: Hi K,
Took a long time to answer your comment. Apolgies. Currently stewing in my own juices in the heat without air conditioning. Glad you were amused. Obviously, the last scene will be wrapped up hastily and more intrigue to follow! Thanks for you comments again. Aamah

Date: 07/28/2006 - 05:38 am Title: Chapter 16~ Reverie
Ahhhh yes - my spuffy lovin' heart is somewhat satisfied now though what 'the morning after' might bring leaves me with some trepidation ~crosses her fingers and hopes for a wiser more emotionally-mature Buffy for Spike to wake with~ Thank you for dream-Buffy...her being in an only semi-aware state gave her the freedom to express emotional truths we never got to see from her in BtVS. Beautifully done. And I sooo knew MacGregor was going to be a fascinating OC. Loved the "he was part of a highly sophisticated society full of ancient traditions scrupulously observed under pain of…well …. pain." bit, LOL! In his forty years however he hasn't yet discovered a thing called 'identity fraud'? C'mon MacGregor. Civilized vampire or not you'd think a semi creature-of-the-dark (or is that creature-of-the-semi-dark?) wouldn't be above a little petty crime yeah? More soon please. Oh and yaay Giles...whatever his personal motivations may have been with regards to Spike he's still been central to allowing them to come together (no pun intended) in this chapter and for that all Spuffy-shippers following this fic will be grateful I'm sure ~winks saucily~
Author's Response: katakata, I lurve your comments. I feel like purring. It means so much to know you enjoyed the things I had so much fun writing. Tell you what, I'll keep the chappies coming and you keep making me purr! OK?

Date: 07/27/2006 - 11:09 pm Title: Chapter 16~ Reverie
very beautifuilly written. can't wait to see what happens when buffy wakes up
Author's Response: Thank you, margaret. Soon it will be morning!

Date: 07/27/2006 - 10:27 am Title: Chapter 16~ Reverie
Very hot, but I hope Buffy doesn't revert to type and throw Spike out of her bed when she wakes up!
Author's Response: HI Toni,
Let's just say the morning will be interesting. I'm glad you're enjoying.
Thanks for commenting.

Date: 07/24/2006 - 06:19 am Title: Chapter 15 ~ 40 year-old Scotch
Oh there were some masterful strokes in these last couple of chapters. I especially liked this bit. Giles: “You might give a chap some warning, you nearly killed me. How did you get in anyway?” Spike only smiled. “I walked in. Vampire……stealthy!” he said, wiggling his fingers to demonstrate how spooky he could be. Then our Brit boys had to go and give MacGregor (it's going to be such FUN getting to know this OC I can tell) a hard time. Point of fact, Giles: “Are you sure he’s a vampire? ….He fainted! What sort of vampire faints?”. And then Spike: Let me dust him, please let me dust him….he’s an embarrassment to our kind.” LOL cubed I say! Oh and Buffy seems to be really enjoying her space though I wonder - was Giles placing her in the cottage truly about giving her some privacy or is he trying to prevent the Spuffy lovin? Let's see how long fate keeps our duo apart *crosses her fingers for her favourite tv pairing* More soon please?
Author's Response: I love your comments. It's so good to know that someone is getting the joke! Thank you sooooooo much!

Date: 07/23/2006 - 09:49 pm Title: Chapter 15 ~ 40 year-old Scotch
Just started reading this fic last night at fonts of Wisdom and just wanted you to know I've been enjoying it very much. This chapter was fantastic--loved the twist on vampire experience. MacGregor is wonderful. Looking forward to reading some more.
Author's Response: Magan,
It's a pleasure to hear from you.
Thank you so much for commenting.
Frankly, I was worried about poor MacGregor. I'm glad you like him.

Date: 07/22/2006 - 08:27 pm Title: Chapter 14 ~ Gumshoe
Ohhhh! I'm on pins and needles waiting for Buffy and Spike to see each other! And this vampire guard...what's he up to? Some fantastic updates! look forward to the next!
Author's Response: Thanks Jade...Maybe tomorrow!

Date: 07/20/2006 - 11:23 am Title: Chapter 14 ~ Gumshoe

Date: 07/17/2006 - 03:52 am Title: Chapter 13~ Companions
Having not checked up on the SF for a little while getting three chappies worth of update from you was such a thrill. Here's my highlights. 1- The 'Giles as Grand-poobah' comment. That had me thinking of the day he opened the Magic Box dressed as a wizard/warlock...in my mind I swapped out the pointy hat for a red fez with tassles but left the sheepish expression on his face, LOL. 2- Xander as butt-monkey. He's always the bridesmaid and never the bride, poor dear. I almost felt sorry for him actually at his flash of insight into his circumstances. Sidekick? Sure. Comic relief? No sweat. But beyond that? He doesn't seem inclined to hold his breath. *softly hums the tune to 'Wind beneath my wings' and hopes it soothes him* 3- Slayer Senses 101 with Spike. I'm not going to get all lascivious and tell you exactly what I'd like to get Spike to teach ME about but it WAS nice to see some appreciation for his experience as he worked with the young slayers. But what's up with this MacGregor character? Another vampire on the scene - oooh the plot thickens. I'm anticipating Buffy's arrival too btw. Can't wait to see if Spike will still feel content to 'warm himself with memories' if he gets the chance to be near her again. More soon please!
Author's Response: Apologies for taking so long to get back to you. I can't tell you how much it tickles me that you are enjoying so much. I've loved these characters for a long time and I just want to keep them alive. The plot is indeed thickening. Stay tuned!

Date: 07/16/2006 - 06:06 pm Title: Chapter 13~ Companions
I like this story and love the way you have written Spike. Giles and Xander are also very interesting and well done. Hope to read more soon.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like my interpretation of Spike. I loved him in all his incarnations...and writing this has given me lots of insights into Giles and Xander...at least how I see them. More is coming soon.

Date: 07/14/2006 - 08:27 am Title: Chapter 11 ~ Pedagogue
I guess shit is about to hit the fan.......this is a great story so far. I like it a lot.
Author's Response: Well... it takes a long time to set everything up and get everybody into their places...once that is done...yup! the shit hits the fan!!*G*

Date: 07/11/2006 - 01:39 pm Title: Chapter 2 ~ Auld Acquaintances
the Brit boys bond! yay!
Author's Response: It's about time, wouldn't you say? Thanks so much for commenting. It means so much.

Date: 07/11/2006 - 01:25 pm Title: Chapter 1~ Routine Interruptus
loved the last part!
Author's Response: I'm so glad! More soon. Thanks for your comment.
