Don't know why I'm sniffling, this was such a good chapter, but I'm sniffling. Wanna cuddle Spike and I'm so glad she's going back later.
Loved it, like always,
*hugs*
Author's Response: Everyone needs a good cuddle now and again, including Spike! (And who here wouldn't wanna cuddle Spike? :) Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reading!

True confessions... and he does have a time with the women he loves.. Sorry about the computer.. I know I almost go through withdrawals when something happens to mine.. sad LOL
Enjoyed..
Author's Response: Yes, Spike is love's bitch... Well, I can still get online, on my scary old computer, so I'm won't have complete withdrawals, LOL. Thanks for reviewing!

Goodness, was this a good chapter. The "'I'd choose you" stuff... *swoonage* Buffy's finally taken a look at things from Spike's p.o.v. Now what will she do with that new perspective?
Hoping your laptop experiences a miraculous recovery. I so want - no, need - the next update!! :D
Author's Response: Well, Buffy might be having a few thoughts of her own next chapter... And glad you liked the 'I'd choose you' line! The laptop probably won't be too hard to fix, but I'm still not sure if I'll have the chapter by next weekend. Thanks for reviewing!

I love this story more all the time... and please feel free to take it up to 100 chapters if you want :D
*hugs*
Author's Response: Glad you're liking it so much! Hehe, I doubt it will go to 100 chapters; I think it's at least half over by now, but who knows, I could surprise myself. Thanks for reviewing!

Interesting, I like how you handled the Spike Dru interaction. I can't wait for more. Please update soon.
Author's Response: Glad you liked Spike and Dru. Thanks for reviewing!

wonderful as always. love the journey Spike is on...he's starting to think about helping the innocents, just not yet sure how to do it yet...
more soon please
Author's Response: Eh, he wasn't *trying* to help so much, as it just happened. (And who knows, Dru still could have gotten them...) Spike only cares about Buffy, he still has a long way to go. Glad you liked, and thanks for reviewing!

I wonder what she will do with the mats and why Spike went to Dru.
Author's Response: Hmm, Buffy can put the mats in the basement for some training with Spike... As for Dru, Spike just wanted to see her 'one last time,' maybe try to get her out of there. Thanks for reading!

Wow, SPike still trying to see Dru safely out, but at least he recognizes when its futile. Let the chips fall where they may is his attitude and I agree. Great chapter hon, looking forward to more - hugs.
Author's Response: Yeah, Spike just had to see Dru one last time, maybe try and talk sense into her (a futile goal any time :) Glad you're enjoying and thanks for reviewing!

Needing more time to tell the same story? *thinks* Doesn't sound bad for me. The more to read the better :))
Anya was fun :)
Thought so, with Angelus around Dru wouldn't want to leave him. Could get bad for her. What Spike thought about the children They could take his advice or not. It wasn't his problem. same goes for Dru. I think she won't take his advice.
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed! Yeah, Dru is pretty much staying with Angelus, so her eventual fate will probably not be good. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for updating. I liked the Dru&Spike dialogue the best, I don't really know about Dru much but you wrote her just as I see her. Only the fact that Giles has not really worked so close with a Slayer before pardons him. It is probably difficult for him to realise that B is actually working with someone else too. I can't wait to read more and I'm thrilled that the story will be longer, although I know that it must be frustrating for you if the story does what it does, acts as it wants. But it has to get written, hasn't it?:)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the Spike and Dru scene. I felt that he would have needed to see her again, at least try and talk her into leaving. Well writing-wise, it's not so much frustrating, as just "wow, I'm still not there yet?" It wasn't like I had a set number of chapters or anything, but I just sort of guessed how long it would be, based on how long the LA part was. I was wrong. Mainly, I've got the Spuffy planned out, but it needs to be padded around Buffy's life with the other characters, whereas in the first part, most of it was just Buffy and Spike. For instance, I've got a scene I thought of and wrote back when I was writing chapter 23, and it's STILL not time to put it in yet. :) And I've got things written now that won't go in for another 20 chapters, probably.

Really good update and Spike trying to do the right thing. You can make this as long as you like and I'll still carry on reading. Loved it.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Eh, Spike was not *trying* so much to do the right thing, it just sort of slipped out. :) He cares about Buffy, but he's still got a ways to go. Thanks for reviewing!

Giles.. surprised at Buffy's skills means Spike is doing his job well..although still trying to help his sire. Surprised we didn't hear more from Dru about the stars, Buffy, and Angelus.. and of course Miss Edith..
Enjoyed..
Author's Response: Yep, Spike is doing a good job of what Buffy paid him to. Glad you're enjoying, and thanks for reviewing!

I know I've been kinda bad at reviewing but I still enjoy this story very much. Looking forward to the next chapter. :)

Yeah, maybe Buffy won't like Spike stealing blood. But she would like him killing even less. It's the lesser evil.
So Joyce knows now both that Spike is there as of their history. She took it well. That good, I feared she would be against it.
Looking forward to more :)
Author's Response: Yes, it's definitely the lesser evil, though Buffy will not be happy with him stealing blood at first. Well, I figured Buffy has enough going on without Joyce being all over her about who she dated / is dating. And Joyce liked Spike well enough. Though she may freak a bit when she finds out he's a vampire... Thanks for reviewing!

Stealing blood huh? Nope, probably wouldn't make Buffy very happy, but at least he's not out killing. DUal edge sword there. And Buffy discovers he killed those vmaps for her? Hmm, wonder what she really thinks of that - gotta mean something. Love that Spike is training her so hard, that speaks volumes in itself. Joyce was fabulous and so understanding in this chapter - thank God, lol. Wonderful chapter sweety, looking forward to more.
Author's Response: No, Buffy will not be very happy about the stealing blood thing. But as Spike will (annoyingly, to her) point out, she never said he couldn't. As for what Buffy thinks of Spike killing the vampires, she really won't think much of it until later. After all, it was only vampires, and she killed the other ones. It won't be until she puts together some other things that he did (and will do) that she'll really think about it. Though by then his feelings will already be "out." Glad you liked Joyce, I figured Buffy had enough going on without a disapproving mother to deal with as well. Thanks for reviewing!

Stealing blood from a hospital .. better than from a demon bar where it could have been Charlie down the street...
And he's still kicking her butt.. And Joyce.. cool with Spike.. Love it.. and I guess his issues are that he is a vampire Mom.. LOL
Author's Response: Yeah, the hospital is probably better than the demon bar. Hope Buffy sees it that way, LOL. Glad you liked Joyce! And yes, the issues are that he's a vampire. Which I guess, technically, is Buffy's issue, since she's the one who has an issue with him being a vampire (killing), but she was really just trying to end the conversation as well. :) Thanks for reviewing!

*sigh* I love this story. I think it's your interpretations of the the characters and the relationships between them that really get to me. They are just so full and well rounded.
Thanks for the chapter. Looking eagerly forward to the next one.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're liking the way the relationships are building, because it seems I am incapable of writing quick get togethers, LOL. When I first started this, I thought it go for a couple of months, be 20 or 30 thousand words; how wrong was I? :) The story I wanted to tell hasn't changed, but it's just taking me a long time to get there. I'm glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for reviewing!

Loved the update. Joyce was surprisingly accepting of Buffy and Spike having a "thing" but then she did always accept Spike so I suppose I shouldn't really be surprised. I am really looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Yeah, Joyce knows what's what, LOL. Though she might freak out a bit when she finds out he's a vampire... Thanks for reviewing!
