Hi!  I can certainly understand you wanting (and needing) to take a break from writing because you've been very consistent about putting out a chapter or more every week.  That is a huge time commitment on your part.  So enjoy your time back in the real world!
But I do want you to know that your story is fantastic, and I miss my weekly dose of your creativity.  So come back refreshed and ready to write--but most important, just remember to come back!!!!  (This is too good to be left a WIP forever!)
Don't worry about it being a WIP forever.  I know every unfinished-WIP-author says that, but I couldn't get away from this thing if I tried, LOL.  It would haunt me until I finished it, constantly playing unwritten scenes in my head.  (This is somewhat true, I tend to 'hear' lines over and over until I write them down.)  I'm also working on a one shot about how Wesley met Spike, which is all your fault.  :)  I'm not exactly sure when I'll have the next Sideways chapter, but I've got the story all planned out until the end, with all the little scenes I've already written in the right order, so that's progress!

Well done
Thank you!

Well, that last sentence makes bad things happening a given.
Why is everyone so convinced they aren't going to be happy, LOL?  :)  Thanks for reviewing!

Even when he's agreeing to do what she wants they still have to have an argument about it--I guess it just wouldn't be them if they made it easy, would it? But they got there in the end. Very nicely done!
Yeah, they had to have a little argument.  And a little misunderstanding at first, since Spike has never said anything that indicates he's considering stopping killing.  But they got there!  Glad you liked it and thanks for reviewing!

Fantastic chapter.  The culmination of all that effort so wonderfully orchestrated into submission into each others worlds.  Lovely.
Thank you so much!  I'm glad you liked it!

I have been coming back to this site just for this story.  I have enjoyed it from the start, and I have really loved the last few chapters.  I can understand your wanting to take a break, and I hope it is good for you.  I will be looking forward to the next installment, the last chapter was awesome! 
Thanks for all the hard work

Thank you for the compliments!  I'm glad you're liking the story so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed the last few chapters.  They were a lot of fun to write, as Buffy and Spike finally came together.

Breathless and speechless. 

This is just genius...
“God, why can’t we have sex without fighting afterward? It’s like make-up sex, but in reverse.” She sniffled and looked away again.
...didn't think this was a chapter that would still make me smile, but that phrase did it.

please tell me you're writing another story...because I'm pretty attached to this one, and I'll be sad when it ends. 
Thank you so much!  And I'm glad you liked the 'make-up sex' line!

One one hand, I'll be sad when this ends, but on the other, it seems like I've been writing it forever, so I'm sort of ready for it to end.  But I am writing other stories after this one.  I've got one with a vampire Spike and a human Buffy, but it will be nice and short, and nothing like what I've got going on here.  Possibly another vamp Spike and human Buffy, and then (if I can ever find the time to watch season 4 and 5 and take arc and plot notes) an epic that will go off from canon.

oh yay! happiness for our fav couple! but i have the feeling things are far from over.... great, wonderrful chappie!
Thank you!  I'm glad you liked it!

Wow, there were a lot of emotions in this chapter... Love the slow burn as they go from fighting each other to wanting each other, and the sex that followed was nice and hot. :) When they started arguing, I thought they were gonna ruin things, just when they were so close! Glad they worked it out in the end there.
Glad you liked the chapter!  Yes, it was time for some nice and hot sex...  And a little argument to spice it up of course!  But it was time for them both to finally resolve some things.  Thanks for reviewing!

yay, happiness!  another super awesome chapter.  thanks for the update!
Thank you!  Glad you liked it!

  Decisions made.. and yes for us .. not a big thing.  But it is a change in who he is .. that a heartless vampire can feel that much love to give up being himself.  But? 

  Was that the Angel position he had her trapped in ? She's going to have to figure a way out.. head butt didn't work last time I think..

   And thanks ... Ahhhhhh.... I assume it is break time..

  
Yes, Spike is definitely making a change for Buffy, and it is a large change for him.  I'm glad you liked the chapter!  No, when Angelus had her he grabbed and bit her from behind.  She was on the ground, and he was kneeling and dragged her up against him.  And yes, it is break time.  Not a bad place to leave it, I think...  Thanks for reviewing!

 oh it was just so good finally they are together again i love it have a great break adn come back and right more ya you deserve the break
Thank you so much!  I'm glad you liked it!

Congrats on your well-deserved awards - it's a terrific story with refreshingly original Spike and Buffy.  They actually communicate!
Thank you so much!  Yep, they communicate, and they still have angst.  But less now.  :)  I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for reviewing!

 Yummy.  How she ever resisted Spike is  unknown to me.
Hehe!  Yes, he would be rather hard to resist.  Thanks for reviewing!
