I'm reading this now, so while you sleep, I'm spamming your email box with reviews. I'm sure that will really bother you. LOL!
Anyways, I love how Angel is so concerned for Spike. Nice to see.
Author's Response: hi Dawn!! such a nice thing to wake up to! thank you! thought it was about time A started to look out for his grandchilde :)

""He turned to go but was stopped as a strong hand grasped his arm.""
I liked this line and the fact that later you write that he still had a hold on the man. Shows the emotions that Angel was feeling with out telling us.
Very good.
Author's Response: thanks for picking that out - means a lot when you do :)

“I can’t even tell when I’m having a piss. Oh Jesus. Does that mean…? Will I be able to...? No, don’t answer that, I don’t want to know.” He squeezed his eyes shut as more tears pricked at them.
“As I said before, it’s still early yet, and things may still improve from what they are now. I’m sure that you will still be able to father children but …”
“I won’t be able to shag, will I?”
You are just sooooo mean to my Spike : ( Bad Mabel. Taking his manhood away. : )
Author's Response: What can I say...? I break him but always put him back together again! :)

“Wot can I say, I’m not a nice man,” snapped Spike. To his dismay she just chuckled at him.
Loved it : )
Great chapter. Can't wait to see what happens when Buffy shows up. : )
Oh, and Brad. LOL!
Author's Response: Loved idea of stroppy spike just getting laughed at - bless him!! :)

I love Angel and Buffy crossing paths in the air and missing each other. : )
I also liked how you had Buffy finding Spike's duster and her seeing the hole and the blood.
Great chapter.

“Why do you always say that when I come to visit you?” said Brad, the physiotherapist, with a grin, “I’ll start thinking that you don’t like me.”
I'm liking Brad.

There were a ton of lines that I loved in this chapter. I really like the interaction between Brad and Spike. I loved this part:
“You look happy,” said Brad sarcastically as he walked into the room, startling Spike.
“Yeah…well…sodding things still won’t hardly move,” said Spike grumpily.
“Things take time, Spike. Don’t push it,” replied Brad.
“Suppose I’ve got plenty of that now, haven’t I?” said Spike with a sigh.
“Shall I go out and come back in again?” asked Brad with a grin, trying to prod Spike out of his depressive thoughts.
Author's Response: I love it when you pick out lines - lets me know that they hit the mark!! :) huge grin!

I really enjoyed this whole chapter with Angel and Spike talking. Made me smile, but below, I've highlighted some of what I liked. Great chapter!
“Well…I’m not anymore, am I? I’m just…”
“Freaking irritating, that’s what you are,” interrupted Angel, “You’re family. Just because some prophecy made you human, it doesn’t mean that you’re not still my grandchilde. Although I’ve never really forgiven Dru for siring you in the first place, little dork that you were.”
“I was not,” protested Spike.
“Oh no? ‘Course you weren’t, with your little books of poetry and your fluffy hair…”
“Your sodding hair grows straight up!”
Author's Response: glad you liked it - the reason I picked this challenge was to make me write Angel as I didn't know whether I'd capture him as well as Spike! :)

Bad Spike! Thinking of ending it all again. But, it really is something a patient who had a setback would think.
Of course, now he won't be asleep when the woman of his dreams slips in. : )
Author's Response: He's rock bottom just when things were looking a little better for him - the humiliation as much as the injury did it! :)

A very serious chapter about a very serious subject, but I couldn't help but laugh at this line:
Spike closed his eyes and groaned. “Why couldn’t someone just die when they wanted to?”
Author's Response: glad you picked that line up - i couldn't resist putting it in! Poor guy just has nothing going his way!! LOL

“No, you really don’t if you keep on saying stuff like that. We deserve each other, we’re a team, two halves of one whole and all that baloney.”

“I will do, Brad,” said Buffy with a smile, “Perhaps there can be oil involved?”
“Bloody hell, woman,” muttered Spike, making both Buffy and Brad laugh.
LOL!! Loved it.
The the cliffhanger! I'd better wake up and find an update to this story, woman! Yes, that's an order.
I want to know what comes after the ... and I want to know NOW! : )
Author's Response: the oil involved line is ripped from episode in S7 where A and S are jealous of each other!! lol - thought it fit quite well!!

Getting caught up with this story. The ending with Angel showing Brad what his is was fun.

Great chapter. I just wanted to say that I figured out your system for naming the your name demons for this fic. Very clever, you. : )
Author's Response: Glad you liked the chapter - think I've squicked a few readers out a bit!! But it's mostly been threats!! Not a bad way to come up with weird names huh? Tee hee!! Did the cyber twin thing a bit with the name George - but couldn't think of anything else 'normal' enough for him!! LOL!!
Summary: Set sometime around “Flooded,” Buffy struggles to reintegrate herself into the realm of the living. Luckily, the undead is willing to lend a helping hand.

Very nicely done! The whole burnt out light bulb thing was brilliant.
Author's Response: Thank you! It was pure luck that I was able to think of an effective metaphor so quickly. The Fates must have been on my side Friday. It's really satisfying when you have certain fics that just flow, and I was lucky enough that this was one of those.
Summary: Buffy meets Spike on a bus while he's reading her opus novel. They are instantly enamored with one another but starting a relationship seems like a herculean task when everything that could go wrong, does. Rated NC-17 for future chapters.

Great start. Love the idea of Ripper and Spike being college friends. : )
Author's Response: Me too...but who else is as smart and good looking and British as Spike at that age and who could be a credible bad boy friend for him during that time? No one else....I love Ripper. *sighs* I wish they would hurry up and make the BBC thing...

Good chapter. I liked the cake in the lap : ) I like how you have a lot of the characters in this story. A fun read.
Author's Response: Lap cake is of the funny...and there are many more characters to come! I love the Buffyverse and I'm going to jam as many as I can into this damn story IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO! (Okay, melodrama aside) I'm glad you like it and if you read through the reviews you'll find that the lap cake incident actually happened to me. He

Summary: Something insidious is brewing in the Universe. And that something is boredom. Gods, supernatural beings and mortals will find themselves forever changed by the consequences of one bored Being.
