Lovely little 'Buffy & Spike stuck somewhere on their own and so Spuffiness ensues' story. I looked in vain for the promised sequel....

Charming. From start to finish, this was charming.

 Great story. You set her up in such a way that she couldn't resist. What woman could? Can't wait for the sequel. Now that she knows what she's been missing... and with vampire stamina added to the mix.

Well, that's one way to let everyone know! :) More please!

I love this story! Sequel?

What a great read! It was a real treat getting to know carefree Buffy and Spike - and now I'm extremely jealous of their alternate reality!

This is just perfect

I read this all in one go and wated to say how much I'm enjoying this entertaining, deftly plotted story. Buffy and Spike's relatinship on the island paradise was ddelightfully fluffy, but you added in some real emotional connection, too. I'm looking forward to Buffy's explanation and the gang's reaction to the impromptu make out session.

Been checking frequently for updates, as you left us at an extreme cliffhanger!!!

This Way Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Crappy Existence’” Anya suggested. - Loved Anya - she's the best. Liked the ending, too.

I'm looking forward to the explaination.

Hee! I can so picture Xander and Willow's faces! Just precious. Thanks for the fun story.

That was kinda evil. I can't wait to see how she handles this.

Well I'm glad they were able to get back before any lasting damage was done, but I really hope they are able to work out how to have a relationship in the real world. Seems like some of the gang would support it, even if others are shocked. I also can't wait to find out what they do to the trio once they find them, since I don't think going to Mexico will be far enough away

wonderful tale, thank you. you could do many chapters on "okay, see, I can explain.” thank s for the fun read, looking forward to the next part of the tale.

Yay, that was an evil way to end it. Personally I'm hoping for the sequel to be one that includes a baby for the couple. Guess they can't deny it to everyone now. Other then Xander, the rest won't be to surprised and of course Anya will definitely ask about the orgasms that he gave her while they were there. Guess now they know what they'd been up to on the island! Will be waiting for the sequel, enjoying this, thanks.

Ah, paradise lost. This was a fun read. Thanks for posting it!

Excellent! However, I'm glad you placed the disclaimer on the ending because that "..I can explain" really leaves one hanging. Please don't be too long with the sequel.

Can't wait for the sequel - what with Buffy not kicking Spike to the curb immediately. And everyone knows now, so...

cute! looking forward to the sequel.

Hurray for a sequel :D

I am so glad that Buffy was the one to initiate that kiss! Spike was willing to just go back to the old familiar relationship with his memories but she reached for him. That bodes well actually. I think Anya, Dawn and Tara will be solidly behind them and Willow can come around. Just Xander (and the missing Giles) to deal with and the happies can begin.

:Love this story. Felt like a vacation just reading it. Wonder if Spike's slight case of humanity will have any ....um....ahem....residual aftereffects *G* Any small thing in the sequel would be delightful IMHO (hint, hint).

I leave it in the hands of a talented wordsmith to tackle. You write it and I shall read, happily.

Kathleen

Ahhh yes I loved it! At least Buffy didn't go all avoid-y/bitchy/denial-y Buffy, that always bugs me a little. Loved the story, I can't wait for the sequel!!

Yes, they have to come back now so Spike can bite Buffy. And, could someone smack Dawn, please?

red is true to form. good read, thank you.

Another good chapter although I am getting anxious for Buffy and Spike. These two should be able to heed changes in their environment and wonder about it because after all There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch!

EEK! Spike not coming abck through the portal? Willow thought Buffy was upset when she ripped her our of heaven the FIRST time!
By the way - can I buy a bottle of "instant sun?" Please? I'm tired of battling the snowdrifts in upstate NY!

Love this story and the romantic getaway theme... Can't wait to see what happens next for Buffy and Spike. Sad to think that they can't stay that way for a little while longer, sigh...
Eagerly awaiting your next chapter!

Sweet!

Uh oh, Buffy's thoughts don't bode very well for Spike. But I do think she will atleast try to get him back if the spell doesn't bring him with her. I hope. Looking forward to more.

Just friends? Wow, but will Spike be satisfied as "friends with benefits?" Of course Willow's not worried about Spike. Hope he's "holding on tight" to her when they pull her out, so he'll have to "come" along too! He! he! Thank you for posting so often. Really enjoying your fic.

willow annoys me.. she really does.. anyhoo.. lovely chapter :D

Playing catch up. Nice chapters...it is nice to see them growing closer. Very sweet.

Grrr... I'm sure there will be hell to pay if Willow leaves Spike behind.

Guh......Buffy comes back and they leave Spike! I think Buffy won't stand for that. Friends huh? The only girl in the world who can be on a tropical island AND and Egyptian river at the same time.

LOVE thew romance, the peace for our favorite couple.

Excellent

Kathleen

damm scoobies are gonna screw everything up !

They have to let Spike come back too!

Uh oh - Spike won't come back with her? That's not gonna make Buffy very happy....
I like the way you haven't turned them into instant soul-mates just because they've discovered that they can have fun together and that they like having sex. It will be interesting to see what happens to the budding relationship if/when they get back.

knew how to have an orgasm - Don't know who would have given her one except herself.

You aren't going to bring Buffy and Spike back in an embarrasing moment are you?

glad to see the slayer enjoying her forced vacation. hope she remembers when she gets back. fun read, thank you.

Hmm I'm thinking Buffy is enjoying herself just fine in paradise with Spike. And as long as the dimension keeps holding together I'm sure they'll find ways to occupy their time. I wonder what will happen when they are returned back to Sunnydale, especially with his promise not to tell

Oh wow...just found this one and devoured all you have posted. What a sweet, hot fantasy! Oh yes, Buffy is about to be pulled from heaven again and I hope she smacks Willow repeatedly before continuing her relationship with Spike. Excellent. Going to put in favorites so I don't miss any updates.

Kathleen

Oh Yeah! Trying that again. At least she'll know what she's missing once she gets back home. Maybe she'll want more? Now for Willow just to take her time, but we know she won't. Come on Spike "Give it to her one more time, once is never enough with a man like you!" as Tenille said.
He he! Can't wait for the next chapter, thanks VW.

oooh lol i like i like...

Loved the Anya/Warren dialogue! Just the right juxtaposition using Spike's interaction with the Trio.

Nice chapter. Great Buffy and Spike scenes

Think you're missing a /b somewhere ;)

I giggled at the sand-related complication. Very cute.

"She’d had good sex before, knew how to have an orgasm." Thank you for that. I get so tired of stories where Buffy knew not was pleasure was until she met Spike. Not that I don't think sex with Spike would be fabu, but S6 Buffy is not some fluttering virgin either.

Whew! I was SURE they'd bring them back while Buffy was...occupied with Spike's parts. Then Xander's head would explode.
SUCH an enjoyable story. Thanks for updating!

Okay that was not how I thought the morning would go. But I guess the true test would be getting back home, wouldn't it? Loved it. Can't wait for more.

Spike thought back to a particularly delicious night in Texas, snacking on spring breakers. - LOL, glad to see Spike isn't totally whipped; he's still harboring those tender memories.

Sorry I missed this one. Boy, am I sorry I missed this one. Hope he can get seconds in the next chapter. This is so good. Guess Willow will be bringing them home soon. Damn! Great chapter, thanks.

Oh wow. I wonder what the morning will bring? Loved the chapter.

so good! want more ;D

Lovely, yet sad... Poor Spike, I hope the morning brings him some comfort and reassurance.

Funny, I thought those were beige. Brilliant!

Well written fun beach scene. Hmm, what did Spike promise?

that went well. the morning ( or the return) could still be a disaster. very good read, thank you.

Great chapter. I just hope Buffy won't be a total bitch against Spike afterwards, and Spike won't be all mean, hurtfull guy.

I wonder what he had just promised? A new way to set up the same sad situation as the season vi we all know and hate? Nicely done.

Poor Buffy - she has to go to another dimension to get a date.

wonderful evening. thank for the enjoyable read. looking forward to "maybe we’re not ending this night quite yet."

A tipsy VB, amoon lite night, a walk along the beach. sounds like the makes of a very romantic evening. If Spike's alive and they have sex, can Buffy get pregnant? That would be great! I alway's love it when they have a sprog of their own. As Anya alway's says "a gift with purchase!" Great chapter, thanks for sharing.

Loved the new chapters. Can't wait for more of this one.

Nice chapter.

aww.. they went on a date??? how cute :D

Sounds like a lovely date...and, wow, they certainly put away some wine between them! LOL...I'm thinking that if Buffy has her way that pillow barrier won't be going up again. Lovely chapter. Thank you.

Yes, Buffy, help Spike get that nasty sand off. This story is bumming me. I'm in Chicago - cold - snow - generally winter yuckiness. Can I go to the sunny demon dimension, too. Send Spike.

They are having such a great time I hate that they have to go back. Yeah, Buffy's not a virgin, she's got to know how a man would react to that. One more to go. So excited, I like VB and so does Spike. Great chapter, thanks.

I"m enjoying this story as the snow comes down outside. thanks!

buffy is definitely enjoying her island vacation. appears spike might start to enjoy it even more. fun read, thank you.

Great chapter. You make me jealous of Buffy being on a tropical island with Spike.

So the demon manufacturers knew exactly just what it would take to properly distract a human and increase the letting down of the guard of the Slayer. No wonder this stuff cost so much! Loving where the mind of Vacation Girl Buffy is going.

It occurs to me that reading these chapters before they're validated means that I don't leave anything resembling a review. I just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying the story. *paws around looking for the next chapter*

Liked Buffy's question abiut the bed. May she'll figure it out soon. Liking that he's got a pulse. He's better looking then Jude Law any day. Leave it to our Tara to be so wise. Sorry I missed this but now I have three chapters to read instead of two. Love this concept. Thanks

anya is wonderful. and her bending xander's mind is hilarious. great read, thank you.

Fun story. Very interesting that the dimension only made one bedroom. And, what are the Trio up to?

Again, clueless Buffy not being able to make the logical leap! Loving the Anya wisdom.

Ooh! I like this one too. Can't wait for an update.

Great chapter.

I'm really feeling this story so far. However, I think it's a bit OOC for Tara to stutter that much. Season four, maybe even five. But she kind of got over it (mostly) in season six. Keep up the good work.

anya telling the "brilliant" scoobies what is going on in their world. love it. fun read, thank you.

Good to see the Scoobies doing their job! Nitpick.don't Willow and Tara have a place for beauty accessories..or are they kept in the bedroom? One bathroom, right?

They could all have a vacation on the house. So happy when ever they listen to Anya. She's got as much information about things as the Council does and she lived it. Really like this, thanks.

Gee, can I be stranded on an island with all my favorite foods, movies and a really hot guy? Esp if it is Spike.

Much better. Buffy needed company, but please oh please do not let the rest of them go on vacation.

fun story beginning. looking forward to more!

Can't wait to see Buffy's face when she sees Spike. Great chapter!

Like this a lot so far. I can definitely see, with the amount of stress she's been under, Buffy being like "I'll just sit in the sun for fifteen minutes, and then I'll start trying to figure out a way to get home...."

lol go anya!

hope the scoobs dont burst in on spike and buffys retreat :P

lol go anya!

hope the scoobs dont burst in on spike and buffys retreat :P

Thank god for Anya -- the only one with a brain!

Well this is different. How are they going to find her now? a locator spell? When will they miss her? Nice beginning, thanks.

Love your stuff. Glad you are posting it here.

Great concept, but Buffy was supposed to take the Spikester with her to paradise. LOL at demon Amway and Buffy's deep knowledge of skin products.

Wonder where Buffy will end up? On that tropical island she wanted to go to?
Great beginning!

attention grasping first chapter. thanks for the read.

Instant Sun sounds like Spike can't follow her to wherever. Looking forward to how this situation will resolve!

oooh i like this very promising :)
