awww....great ending, pet...lovely fic :)

Excellent story. I like what you showed us in the epilogue too. All around an excellent story worth rereading over time. {Smiles}

Well great story I must say, really liked it alot. Now I can't wait for the sequel, I'm also intrigued by the epilouge and the whole Buffy being turned thing but I guess that won't be in the sequel.

I love it! The last chapter promises a great sequel, and the epilogue fit them perfectly. -Lisa

nice resolution to it all...so now is spike the master of sunnydale? great chapter :)

So with only an epi left does that mean there will be a sequel? I mean the whole cryptic Dru thing will that be resolved in the epi or for that matter will what Spike did with the master make him top dog now in the clan?

Wow ... only the epilogue left? You did an awesome job with this one. You really did. Kept us going all the way, right along with you. I enjoy your stories, and I look forward to each new chapter and project.

awww...i hope he was able to send her someplace safe...now i just wonder whats gonna happen with the master...great chapter, pet :)

excellent. thanks

Oh my gosh ... oh my gosh .... so want and need more of this one. {whimpers}

Cracking update. Let out sigh of relief when Buffy got through to Spike. Now wondering how they're gonna get out of this situation. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

oh no...what a cruel trick...dont know how they did it but i hope he figures it out in time...

Oh no!! Buffy looks like a Watcher. Spike is going to try to kill her. {whimpers} Egads! Your stories are so worth running to every update. Thanks for updating.

Oh, and I saw that you reduced the size on the banner for the chapters. That was so great. I do love the banner. I was just letting you know about the text moving off the side and stuff because if it was happening to me, I know that it was happening to others too. It just made it harder to read.

They all better run for the hills doing the one thing to unleashing William the bloody. Can't wait to see how he comes back from that. Great Story.

hes got to be lying...gotta find out :)

Good update. Still love this story. The only thing that I find distracting is the logo at the top of the chapters now. For those of us on an 800x600 screen, the logo is wider than that. So the text now scrolls off the page to the right. I love your story enough to keep reading, but it does make it more difficult to read it through smoothly because I have to keep scrolling left to right with every sentence. Look forward to more updates. I do love the logo though. Very nice.

great update. looking forward to the remaining chapters and the promise of a sequel. thanks for writing.

what else could she do, really? she couldn't let them stake him...on to more :)

Oooo ... I wonder what is going to happen next. I wonder what the Master will do. Will Buffy still be Buffy if she is turned? Can't wait to find out.

oh no...is dalton turning on spike? that's not good...at least he managed to break the master's thrall ... but what's gonna happen now?

at least he stoppd....oh i hope he's really stopped, not gonna try it again..unless he has to at this point to keep her from dying...great chapter, love :)

Just got back from vacation and am catching up on what I missed. You were busy while I was gone. Great chapter! Off to read the next one. -Lisa

What did the master do to Spike? That bat faced bastered I think that calls for some slayage! Now that I think about it who ever said it was the council after Buffy? Giles couldn’t be heard …. Hmmmm more please

i like marrissa...good chapter, pet :)

What evil thing did the master do to Spike. Great story looking forward to next update

I really like Marissa! Hope we'll be seeing more of her? Wonderful update. -Lisa

Good update. Eager to find out what happens next.

i wonder what he's up to...this could be scary...is buffy gonna have to defend herself against spike? i hope it doesn't come to that...

Okay someone just got me back for my cliffie ... evil you are Thianna. More please. Good chapter, and I want to know what the Master has up his sleeve.

GAH! Don't leave it there! More, PLEASE! -Lisa

stupid council...grrr.... :)

I really really like this story. Started reading it tonight and read the whole thing to where you are at. Very good. I like the way it all built slowly, and her becoming the slayer. I really don't know what else to say about this story except that it's just really good and I hope you continue with it soon. And Welcome to the BSV! (saw you just recently started posting!)

Hhmmmm... Why do I think the master has something to do with the council in town? Good work!

Liked the chapter. I wonder what is up. Can't be good that the Master is making it more of an order now to see him. He keeps saying that Buffy will be one of them. I wonder if he's going to try to get Spike to turn Buffy ... and with the Council trying to kill her ... it might entice her to do it. Look forward to seeing what happens next.

Well the master couldn't have asked for better help than the council of wankers fuckin things up now could he? Wonder if he tipped them off to get the ball rolling.

Yikes! The Master and the Council! More soon, please! -Lisa

hmmm...is this the Master, or some other vamp? glad they beat angeluse, but more bad to come, eh?

Just keeps getting better and better!! So the Master has plans for Buffy.. I wonder what she and Spike will think of them. Thanks!

Another cliffie ... excellent chapter though. Very much look foward to the next one.

OMG! Who is this other Master? More angst and danger coming up.

They just can't get a break can they? Great chapter! -Lisa

oh i hope it was enough...hope they managed to stop it...great chapter, pet :)

Well glad that the fight was for Angelus' benefit. That was good. Evil cliffhanger there though, having us wonder what is going on now or next. Excellent.

Oooh! More soon please! -Lisa

OMG! Did the spell, the gem and Giles kill Spike? More story please.

no!!! how could he do that??? what's wrong with him?? on to more!!

Oh my gosh!!!! Nooooooo.

I like this more hardcore Spike, I never really liked the pushover he was in the show. Now that he don't have a chip I don't see why he would put up with her bullshit to be honest. I'm hoping for a angsty story now and not just a makeup in the next chapter, that would be crappy IMO :)

Is this fight part of the plan to get Angelus or are they both being stupid? More please.

OUCH! That was one helluva fight. Wonderful update. -Lisa

awww..i want joyce to wake up :( poor buffy...i'm with spike on this one, it sounds a bit too dangerous ... oh well...great chapter :)

Just when we think they have their crap straight ... the go and do this. Buffy is putting herself in way too much danger for this. Did Giles just agree with Buffy because it would peeve Spike off? Does he really not care at all? Or does Giles just figure that if Buffy dies no big loss because she isn't a "good" Slayer anyways? Look forward to what is next.

Evil evil cliffhanger! Update soon please! -Lisa

Hmm I wonder what the fuck is wrong with a stake? Is she just stupid or what? I think that Spike should put his foot down, I would love to see an ultimatume made by him. Something like go through with this and I'm leaving and then actually leaving. To me it feels like Buffy needs to learn that there are consequenses to her actions and that there might be a price to pay if you do stuff like this when in a relationship. If she does it I think that Spike should help but then just walk away and move away, I know that most people want happy endings but I think that this way Spike don't come off as a total whupped puppy. There is something to be said for listening to your partner in a relationship and considering his or hers feelings and since Buffy never seem to get that I don't think that she should get away with it this time.

I don't think whatever she has cooked up sounds like a good idea. Isn't her slayer demon in as much danger as Angelus' demon? Nor to mention the damage Angelus wishes to inflict on her.

Oh this does not bode well but great update

i dont trust that...wonder what's in the box for real?? excellent chapter :)

Good update. I'm wondering who sent the little present ... the Master? A Trick from Angelus? Or someone else entirely? Can't wait to see who.

I'm glad to see Spike and Buffy having fun. I am, however, worried about WTF those crystals are. Is that from the sorcerer rumored to be in town or from the Master?

21 -- i'm so glad he finally admitted it...now to see where things go between them from here :)

20 -- buffy's conversation with her mom was so sweet and tender and poignant, and spike's reaction understandable...love it :)

Awww ... so perfect!!! He finally admitted it!!!! Yeah!! That was a touching scene in the hospital with Joyce where he heard her say it again that she loved him. I am sooooo happy that they've both said i to each other now. Look forward to more.

Great chapter, finally they see the light it's about time :)

that last chapter was written like a sin city scene. wow good stuff

that was a very emotional, intense scene, very well done :)

Good update. Look forward to more. Nice way to do this with a flashback.

oh that's so not gonna happen...right? *anxious*....lol...great chapter, pet :)

Wow and whoa. {breathing hard} Angelus was major into head games. Dru was trying her whole placating to get William back to her side even if she really didn't want him. I always hated that about Dru. It was one reason why I hated Buffy for how she treated him too. Spike deserved a woman that would love him completely as he was. Excellent chapter, and I look forward to see what happens next.

Lovely chapter, I guess the battle lines have been drawn now. No going back for Spike now, only one way to go.

Absolutely fascinating chappie. Love this. Thanks.

Phew. I think that was the most chilling chapter so far. You did great getting Angelus to play mind games on Buffy. His modus operandi. I was worried for a moment that Dru had Spike in thrall, or that he'd been drawn back to his Dark Princess. So glad he stood up for Buffy though. Great update.

oh wow...the game is up now..wonder how angelus will take this .. :)

Well good chapter....gotta love some action.

Surprise for Angelus!

Oh crap ... Angelus is going to know now. This is going to get even mroe interesting and deadly.

lol...i agree, she's enjoying it a bit too much.. :)

Lovely chapter, guess Spike has some hard choices coming up.

Loved the lighthearted fun of this chapter. Spike's frustrations are building because he won't let himself let go of the past ... but the end was really playful and fun. Look forward to more.

That was a lovely interlude chapter. I hope Spike is training her well enough to live through the Wankers' retrieval team. More story please.

something tells me he's still not really okay with everything...on to more :)

Love the story and the update. Look forward to more. I'm so happy to get my fairly daily dose of this one. {Grins}

OMG! They are both in danger from the Wankers' Council and Angelus. She needs to get seriously trained soon. More story please.

wow..you write the emotions so realistically...i totally see where they're both coming from...but he needs to come around, soon :)

Love this story, Spike cares about Buffy but he also see's the future in which they can't be together anymore. Wonder how you will tackle this and if Buffy will become the Black and White person she is in the show.

Awww ... Dang ... poor Spike. {Sighs} These two are killing me. So much angst. {sighs} He better be careful that GIles isn't just waiting for him to go out.

lol...i love their life together...lol..so funny...maybe giles will wise up in time to keep things from getting really bad..great chapter, pet :)

I'm glad that Giles didn't get away with his crap. If he thinks he is going ot change her mind, he is sadly mistaken. She seems pretty set in her mind. I hope that she stays that way towards Spike. Stupid Giles. Excellent chapter. Look forward to more.

I like the way Buffy blasted the Watcher's and Gile. I hope he helps her and no back stabing or betrayal. It was cool when Buffy said she belonged to Spike. Smart girl. Can't wait to read more.

I Love it! I hope Giles begains to understand and helps - Thanks for the update. Please write more soon!

well that should go over like a ton of bricks....lol

That was a really fun way to introduce Giles. LOL. Or who I am assuming is Giles. I love how she didn't even skip a beat to answer I belong to him. That was just perfect! Can't wait to see how this turns out. Look forward to more.

I think that Giles will break his glasses now, what with all the polishing he will be doing :)

that's touching, that she still wants to be with him...on to more now :)

I really hope Buffy knows what she is asking. Great update. Can't wait to see waht you have next.

Hmm so will there be any scoobies and/or Giles showing up soon? The possibilities are endless :)

Aghhhh! You can't stop there! Anxiously awaiting Spike's reaction to those Slayer muscles!

Good update. Look forward to more for sure. Things keep getting more interesting here. Now that she's a Slayer, she can keep up a lot more. Maybe it will dawn on Spike that perhaps that was why her blood seemed so charged before ... the blood never lies. It knew she was next. I wonder what will happen with the Watcher, and who will it be?

wow...yeah, this should get really interesting now :)

That was a cool update. Buffy is now a Slayer ... that is neat actually. I'm sure she won't go all bitch Buffy because that was something that was influenced by those around her. If Spike is her influence, and she felt safe around him before ... I'm really hoping it stays that way. It's going to get interesting what she does about his feeding though. Then again ... Slayer blood is the most potent, and he wouldn't need as much to survive. Can get his fighting by helping to kick Angel(us)' ass. {grins} Look forward to more.

So she is a slayer now, well that certanly makes things interesting. Should be fun to see how things go from here. I hope it don't make her "Buffy on a moral high horse" as she usually is :)

awww....that's so sweet....on to more now :)

Love the story so far, and can't wait for more. Great spuffy scene! Awesome job!

Good chapter now the spuffy stuff is moving on.....can't wait to read more

Good chapter - moved the story along nicely Please write more soon! thanks!

Nothing wrong with it. Enough to tantilize, and enough to leave to our imagination. I wonder how their relationship will progress now. Will Spike block it all out to maintain a facade of wanting Dru when he knows that Buffy made him feel more than Dru ever did? Will he continue to comfort her? Look forward to more.

Sweet scene...just enough, and nothing whatsoever wrong with it, no matter what anyone else says...good job....

i think before long he wont be wanting her to leave...

Great update! How old is Buffy in this? I know she's a teen, but exact age?

Hmm maybe in the next chapter he gets going on the whole "getting over Dru" thing.

Hard to believe Spike is still so much William that he hasn't taken her yet. It seems she's been offering. Maybe she can help him get over Dru. More please.

Damn, Spike shows a lot of restraint for a vampire. Wonder what will happen next..

{purrs} Look forward to the next chapter. Just started reading this one.

well....this little shift in attitude is interesting..this story is thoroughly enthralling, pet...on to more :)

I just hope she realizes what she is going to do could be a real life changing moment for both of them. Great update.

Great chapter! You're writing your own rules with this one and I'm wondering how long spike will be able to hold out for sex, LOL! Looking forward to the next chapter

now there's the buffy we know and love...now i think he's hooked :)

Very interesting story. I'd like to know more about what's happening inside Buffy's head, since her background is different. Is she worried about Joyce? (Is Joyce worried about her?) What are Spike's plans? More please :)

poor buffy...i feel kinda bad for her, she's still being used..but i think spike will start to have feelings for her before he knows it :)

something tells me that's not over....gotta see what happens next :)

hmm..wonder if darla will be able to keep up her end of the deal...how they're gonna get away...great chapter, love :)

i feel so bad for poor buffy...hope spike can get them both out of there before angelus does any more damage...great chapter, love ;)

The plot thickens! I like your 'family' dynamics here. *runs to read the next chapter*

i'm very much intrigued by this story now, very well done...so is buffy not the slayer...or just not yet...or what...hmmm...reading on now :)

Just read this one all the way through, and I am intrigued. Lots of questions. Can't wait for the answers. More soon please. -Lisa
