I just sent this story to a friend of mine and saw there was a update and as usual I read this and have a Spike like smirk on my face in how juicy and just wonderful this is. You make him so fearless with his nothing to lose a-tude.
He and Dru are like kids in a candy store excited about finding a Slayer.
Hope to see more of your work soon
Author's Response: Thank you so much for recommending this story to your friend. I love knowing that it's gaining new readers. And, as always, thank you for taking the time to review each chapter. :)

Is it just me or Darla being friendly or giving William this info on Rome and the slayers is just a little too helpful?
I know Darla enjoyed evil at its finest but I am worried shes sending him off to his death or worse when Angelus finds them gone, not that he's be worried over William he'd just be ticked about Dru.
Ooooo! I want more please I'm hooked on this more then General Hospital now
Author's Response: Your assumption of Darla's motivations is spot-on. Glad to hear I have you hooked. Thanks for reviewing. :)

Yes!!!!! He's standing up for himself and also pushing a little at Dru to defy Angelus and go out on their own.
I feel like a proud momma of a evil child I'm cherrying him on.
more soon please I like seeing this bad boy
Author's Response: Spike is fun when he's being bad, isn't he? :P
Thanks for reviewing!

Hahahaah! Angelus and Darla ran for the hills and yet Spike stood alone and took on the angry mob and yet people wonder why I love that deadboy
Great chapter

Author's Response: Yep, that's why I love him, as well. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for reviewing. :)

This was another sharp, vivid chapter. The subtle differences with canon worked wonderfully, and I really love this more independent, even brasher Spike. Darla's gentle pushing about The Slayer in Rome really suited her cunning nature. Her hatred of Spike had her pushing him toward his own destruction. She's going to be disappointed.
Author's Response: Yes, she is, isn't she? Darla underestimates Spike. I'm glad you liked that exchange, as well as the changes I made to the original mineshaft scene. Thanks for reviewing. :)

ah the mine shaft...i knew you would do it!! And the Slayer is in Rome huh? Me thinks the Immortal is there too....will you incorporate him in too? The time goes that in 1894 Spike and Angel were in Rome so...isn't that 14 years after this scene you wrote about...so Angelus has to come back and find Spike and Dru after they runaway. Plus, I think i get the feeling that Spike isn't going to have his best luck with this Slayer...since he didn't kill one till 1900. Maybe she dies right before he even gets there.
Author's Response: The Immortal isn't in Rome yet. TGiQ told us that the Immortal arrived in Rome during 1894, and that it was the first time he had been there in 300 years. So, you're right, Spike and Dru won't be running into him as soon as they arrive in Rome. And your feelings on Spike's success (or lack thereof) with the Italian slayer may well prove correct. I'm glad you like the chapter. Thanks for reviewing. :)

In plain sight, there is very little left of the old William: Spike is neither brittle with nerves, pitifully broken into the live of a demon, nor grieving for his human past that had him the town's jest and living with mother - and losing the love of his life. No. This unlife was the the undead. He sees his own waywardness as his direction: hell, it even thwarts the all-powerful, violating Angelus. And now he has a definite beacon to guide him. The Slayer. Happiness of a different kind. Glee.
Here is the Spike that we met in Season Two.
Bravo.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. :)

I always feel so sorry for Dru in her constant abuse with Angelus. Even being turned into a vampire never fully changed her from the girl she once was and her relationship with Angelus always made me a bit sick in how he drove her to madess and now only being crazy is what keeps her going. You do a great job in writing for Drusilla not many people can and you always seem to give her a child like grace in her relationship with William much like abused children who side together and try to escape their abuser.
There was also great wit in this in the conversation about Spike's new accent very much in Joss like skill you have great comedic timing in this also I wanna scream for more but I shall be patient :)
Author's Response: I always felt sorry for Dru, as well. And I loved how protective (almost paternal) Spike behaved around her in early season two when she was still ill. Although my version of Spike isn't in love with Dru, I still wanted to convey that protectiveness, as well as a non romantic affection. I'm happy that you like the way I handled that.
Thanks, as always, for taking the time to review. :)

He is starting to find out about slayers and wants to take one on, I hope he builds more on his fighting skills before taking her on or maybe watches her in action first. Because he is new and cocky in thinking he can take anything on right now be careful Spike is all I'm saying. Ok I am now laughing at myself cause I am talking to a guy in a story
More please!

So he is going for glory and building his reputation I can see why because becoming a big bad is the becoming of Spike and his new persona. I'm a bit hazy on my Buffy gistory here but is it in Rome Angel gets his soul back with the gypsey curse? I cannot recall maybe I should drag out the dvds and see but it make sense if they did go after to collect Dru from Spike and Angelus gets side tracked getting souled an then somehow end up in the Boxer Rebel thing. See my Spuffy-verse history has gone a muck I need to rewatch to keep following this sttory which is outstading a read btw. I am looking forward to your next part in this.
Author's Response: It was Romania, not Rome, where Angelus regained his soul. ;) If you're interested in catching up on the mythology, buffyworld.com has complete episode transcripts. But your idea of rewatching the eps sounds much more fun. :)
I'm glad you liked the chapter. I really appreciate the review, and I always love hearing your thoughts. Thank you. :)

North London!
You made pop come out of my nose laughing over this little quip and banter!
And now my coworkers are spying on me so I must sneak off and pretend it was tech support.
Great post!
Author's Response: lol. I'm glad you got a kick out of that. Like a lot of scenes, it just wrote itself, and it did seem so "Spike" to me. I laughed at it myself (I hope that doesn't sound weird). Thanks for the review. :)

This is a heafty fic I feel like I'm reading A TALE OF TWO CITIRES or WAR AND PEACE only in a Spuffy sort of telling. I really like this and the author is really great in keeping you on your toes guessing and hoping he gets back to Buffy somehow someway. Really a good story it is 100% worth reading
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm happy to hear you think so highly or my writing. :)

My favorite part
“You don’t have stay with him, Dru. You don’t have to—to be with him. Not anymore. He’s a bloody liar and a bastard. He uses you.” He gripped her arm a little more tightly and added, “Who takes care of you, kitten? Does he? Does he ever give a damn about any of us except Darla?”
A soft light came into her eyes, and he knew she was finally beginning to come around. “You take care of me. My William…my Spike. My shadowy knight. I knew you would take care of me, and you do.”
Cause it shows their almost brother and sister like comradery in being both tortured by Angelus and taking care of one another and just breaking off on their own a little. Hopefully Angelus will grow tired of Spike's battles and fights and just let them go off on their own then be bothered with Spike or maybe he gets souled and then wants to be free of them. Hummmm now really need another chapter ((evil laugh))
Author's Response: One thing I love about those two characters is that both William and Drusilla were sensitive and good hearted people before they were turned. I think this is why Dru sought him out for a mate, and also why he came to love her (romantic love on the show, a more familial love in my story). I'm glad you are enjoying the dynamic between them. As always, thanks for taking the time to review. :)

The sweet luxury of a mine shaft!!!
It's funny how A. is so big and bad and evil and yet he runs from the mob and fight and I do not trust Darla I think shes got a plan or something or just wants Dru and Spike gone.
Author's Response: Darla told Spike that in hopes that he would seek out the slayer (which, of course, he promptly does). Mostly, she just wants to be rid of him, but she probably also is hoping he will get himself staked, thus permanantly ridding herself and Angelus from the thorn in their sides. Thanks so much for your review. :)

I'm glad your showing how Dru has a underlying kind of hate towards Angelus even in her insanity she still remembers what he did to her friends and family before he turned her and so often writers over look that in their story writing. Excellent new page here I'm looking forward to Rome.

My Apple Jack and Forward to Time Past this is turning into a good morning. Ooooooh Spike took Drusilla with him and they just took off and now I'm wondering if Ang. and Darla will follow cause I kinda got the vibe Darla was setting Spike up for this trip just so she could go there and maybe Spike would get himself killed off.
Author's Response: You're exactly right. Darla wanted to get rid of Spike any way she could ... and if he gets himself staked by the slayer, I doubt she will care very much. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for the review. :)

I really like the way you are evolving William into Spike. It's hard to make this convincing, since the change is usually attributed to the demon, not to decisions by William. You're doing a very convincing job of explaining this process. Thank you!

Thank you for the update!!!
Great re-working of the mine scene. It was hilarious when they talked about Spike’s North London, amalgam of an accent.
So interesting that even though Buffy is not mentioned explicitly, she remains a glaring/blistering presence in the story. Wonder if Drusilla saw Buffy (blistering sunshine?) in his mind, not the Italian Slayer. I wonder if he will ever come to suspect at all that Elizabeth was a Slayer once he learns more about them and meets some of them.
Anyway—just wanted to say I’m really enjoying this story.
Author's Response: You're right. Even when he struggles to forget her, Buffy remains very much in Spike's thoughts and his motivations. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks so much for the review. :)

grat update!!!!
this it is the birth of a true worriwr!, spike is not scared to him to deat, savors and enjoys the flavor the fight, it sees the death like a lightening, to perhaps meet with Elizabrth? He makes fun of of the fear of Angelus, makes fun of of a very sensible and masculine thing: so feared, mentioned and deceived the so large one of the penis, this is something very falico, to make ridicule of this between men, is as much as to violate, to humiliate and to offend at the same time, a very delicate subject between masculine prides!
I have observed that in this update, to make use of original dialogos of the Cannon, this brings another thing to my mind, in the fisical and of behavior descriptions of spike, always we used parametros pertaining to the actor who I interpret it (james (James Marsters) the til of the head, to bend an eyebrow even the outbursts of laughter, during a conference, Joss Wedon declare, that almost all ideocincaias of Spike was contributed by James, in my opinion he made a exelente work, but this does not give you a little freedom, to create differences? after all, your Spike, does not have to be the same one of James
continues working like thii, you write wonderful! i love your novel
p.d. and again, sorry by my english
