I love this fic. At first I thought that it want be scary like this and that everything will end happy. Now....you completely changed direction and I love it.
you're really good at describing characters. love spike and his moods and his feelings. and I like how you portrait Angel. most of the writers of Spuffy realm (99%) make Angel bad person, but you did it different. you're creating a new family with Moira, Brad and Laura, hopefully staying after everything and helping.
and the apartment for Spike, OMG! the idea it self and Angel making it!...fabulous!
hope you're muse is with you and you'll continue to write fast...so ...next chapte PLEASE!!!!

Author's Response: Hi Ivana, it's getting reviews like yours that really keeps the old muse going!! I write the 'bad' stuff so much easier and quicker than the 'good'!! Tee hee!! Not sure what that says about me!! I chose the challenge to make me write Angel and they had to be firends in the fic for it to make sense. (in my other fics he's either dead, not mentioned or in one case bad!!! LOL) Will update asap - please keep letting me know!! :)

Brad's reaction is priceless. They have to find Spike soon!! Nice work!

Author's Response: glad that you liked Brad's reaction! It made me chuckle a bit when I wrote it and then I wasn't sure by time I posted so I'm glad that it read okay! :)

:-p Why did you use a ? the gang out to find him surely things will be okay....? :)
;-)
Surprise for Moira (and not a good one) because she had no clue of the 'other' world out there.
Wow, she took it well and now she's getting even the whole story.
I hope they'll get Spike back soon.

Author's Response: thanks for reviewing Cordyk!! Moira is a practical person - if anyone could cope it would be her!! :) More soon!

This was a good chapter. I really liked Buffy's explanation of Angel. I also liked the interaction between Moira and Angel. I hope he won't lose his soul. This was also good to divert our attention from what is happening with Spike. I don't think that I would be able to read another chapter right away with Spike being tortured, but after this break I am ready..

Author's Response: Thank you for such a lovely review Bridget - much appreciated. Glad you're liking Moira and Angel :) And that after a break you're ready to hear more about our Spike! :)

does this story have Angel with an anchored soul or is that going to cause all hell as well? and what the hell happened to Nina the weregf?
i'm praying Spike gets out of this in one piece

Author's Response: Hi there Jeanieofoz. I always had it in my head that Angel's soul was only ever in danger with the perfect happiness that Buffy could bring - that anyone else was sort of already second best. So his soul will be safe!! As for Nina, I did say that Moira was first human he'd felt truly attracted to since Cordy - as nina obviously was a werewolf. If my memory of AtS serves me correctly - i though that he'd sent her away before Not Fade Away and in my 'verse he hasn't seen her since. Your prayers regarding Spike will be answered I'm sure....Tee hee!! Thanks for reviewing :)

“Buffy says that you’re a good man, Angel. It’s hard to find a good man that’s taller than me,” she smiled.--- I LOVE Moira! She rocks!!! Will Angel's soul be in danger with her? Cuz it shouldn't be, really... knowing he could lose it should make him less than perfectly happy at any given moment!

AND WHERE IS SPIKE? Evil woman, diverting us with this so we wouldn't whine a lot... Well I won't be diverted! I want Spike to be OK!!! *bats eyelashes furiously* Please fix it soon!!!

Author's Response: Hi Sotia! glad my bear hug worked and it's just the eyelashes back in peril and not your hair!! LOL!! Thanks for pulling that line out - glad that it worked. In my head apart from with Buffy Angel's soul is safe! :) *hugs* and don't worry more about Spike next time!! :)

aww man! I just knew something had to go wrong. I've read enough of you're work now to know that once things are good, they're gonna get bad again.
Glad Spike is walking again, but not so much for the other stuff. Buffy and Angel will find him though.
Great stuff as always! Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Hey Puska!! glad you've got me sussed out!! It's sooo much more fun writing the bad!! lol!!!! thanks for letting me know! *hugs*

The attacker wore gloves? Then they wouldn't have found fingerprints anyway.
limp body of Spike over his shoulder with very little effort No Xander then...
A bounty hunter? But who was the client that ordered him (charge him with the task to capture Spike). Ah, hadn't guessed this client. In a way Spike was lucky that he'll be healed soon. But that's no comfort, right now it looks very bad for him.

Author's Response: Hi Cordyk things are looking bad but with Buffy and the gang out to find him surely things will be okay....? :)

I don't really understand the point of this diversion but I guess it will be explained. I understand that Spike killed the Polgara demons but I don't understand why you are making him addicted to this concoction as well as making him obedient. I am trusting that this will turn out alright without Spike having to suffer more than he already has.

Author's Response: The point of this diversion is probably buried somewhere in my mind!! lol!! Seriously it's all about pride - it's loss and then it being regained. Your trust won't be misplaced I promise! Thanks for reviewing Bridget it's appreciated. :)

I was afraid it was Dru who captured him but now I am more afraid. This Nemol guy turning him to a slave, that`s something that doesn`t fit Spike and it would totally take away the pride he has left. Poor Spike. Mabel, I love you original plot idea, keep going!

Author's Response: Hi there!! Just wanted to invent someone nasty for a change, all my orig characters so far have been nice!! lol!! Glad you liked the litle twist!! tee hee!! more soon! :) and thanks for talking about PRIDE cos that's a theme of the fic - he lost it - he found it - now he's having it taken away!! :)

This is continuing wonderfully Mabel, the pace is really hotting up.

Author's Response: Hi CarolM!! Glad you're liking it! I'm hoping to have it completed before Union Chapel! :)

Yeah, Angel noticed correctly, Brad saw him. But sadly they have not witness, no clues. It won't be so easy to find something out I fear. But I hope they'll find something, regardless what I'm thinking.
More please :))

Author's Response: won't keep you waiting too long!! :) I'm hoping that no one has guessed what i'm up to !!! tee hee :)

ooh!! action! I'm glad Brad's got a sample of Angel's true face. Soon they might all know! :) But I don't understand one thing. First A says that it's not safe for them to stay and they should go home and then they talk about them staying? Angel and Buffy don't even fight it. How come Brad and Moira agreed not to call police, they are professionals in health care. It's highly unconvincing for me. I think you should give them some incentive. Angel could tell them, that it's actually *is* police or FBI matter or whatever. Right now I think that at least Moira is risking her good reputation. It is her duty to call the police even if it did not happen in her facility. And well, then there's conscience. Will a good person agree not to call the police like that? I doubt that. Aside from that, thanks for updating, I hope to read more soon! And did I mention that I'm really, *really* happy that the story turned to have more to it than just a tale of S's recovery? Well, I am glad. :)

Author's Response: Hi Serinah! Glad you're liking that I put a bit of action in here! I get what you mean about the 'normals' response but in my head Moira knows that something is not quite 'normal' with Angel and Spike and is just trusting her gut! Sorry if it came over a bit lame!!! Tee hee!! thanks as always for your comments! :)
