"As she left the room without a backwards glance,she missed one very important detail.
Spike watched her go."

I was done here. It...I don't know,it saddened me,and I loved it! You're great!

Oh thank GOD! I am so happy to hear that there will be another installment. This one was just as tantalizing as the first. Can't wait!
Hey, thanks! Installment #3 is up - at least the first chapter. Glad you enjoyed.

Terrific ending. But when's the sequel coming? Please!
I'm working on it, promise! Since I want Spike to stay fangy and unchipped and somewhat unapologetic about his killing ways, well ... let's just say he's giving me a hard time about the happy ending I keep pushing on him. Buffy isn't happy with him either, but I hope to bring them both around in the next few weeks. ;)

This was a stellar sequel finding a mature, centered Buffy at a strong place in her life. The menace of the string of brutal killings was an excellent background to illuminate this Spike really is evil, even though he's playing nice. The photography session was a beautifully choreographed seduction. This was a richly detailed, emotionally weighty piece, and I'm looking forward to how you're planning to follow it up.

I thought it was the perfect ending. That was the only choice this edgier Buffy would make. Hope your start posting the final installment soon, I can't wait. As always, you're GREAT!!

Fascinating take on an au plot. Spike is so bad and yet sooo good. Fun writing for you and great read for us.

It really is fitting that Buffy was the one to leave this time around. They have come full circle right now. But she has her pictures, tattoo and now the new marks to remember this trip. Awesome story. Wonder what changes will we see in Buffy now. Can't wait for the final installment.

Very cruel. I really want to see that eventual happy ending.

And yay Buffy for leaving.

Absolutely love this story. Good to know that there will be a sequel... along one hopefully. I look forward to some more convo btween the two so w get to know Spike better.
Hey, thanks! And I'm toying around with how to frame the sequel right now, but there will absolutely be more of Spike's backstory.

Good God, I'm speechless. You racket up the tension with every chapter. What did he ink on her? What was he thinking when she left? What you don't show is as fascinating as what you do. Such a good story.
Thanks, Carole! I spent hours deciding on the tattoo ... and then a few more hours deciding that I couldn't reveal that detail just yet. ;)

Of course, only the insinuation
that he is the cause of the deaths of the blondes that look a lot like her. Could be someone else .. yeah right!!

Enjoying their little encounters.
Thanks, Pam! Glad you're enjoying.

I like that she was strong enough to leave and knew that she should, as it wasn't the right time for them. Here's hoping the third time's the charm :-)
Thanks, Ace! I was afraid that would be a *terribly* unpopular move, but if Buffy really has grown up, well ...

“You’re not the same girl I met in Los Angeles, Buffy Summers.”

Great idea to have Buffy photograph Spike. He wants it because he has no reflection.


Thanks - I had Spike photograph Buffy in another fic, so this felt like turnabout!

I think I liked this chapter...It sorta went outside my comfot zone, adn I'm trying to figure out exactly _why_, since you didn't really go anywhere that tends to freak me out. But I really like the story, I'm curious to have you describe the photos she took...(Where's she going to develop them - I don't think the hotel will appreciate developer in the bathroom...)

Love the rhythm of this chapter. Like a wonderful film noir. All glimpses and tension. Very erotic the picture taking. Can just imagine Buffy developing these pictures, one by one. Great job!

Imagine meeting Spike in a tatoo parlor in Pittsburgh-very detailed, too.
Oh dear, dead co-eds. Spike?
Yeah really ... I'd be pretty stunned if I did find a sexy vampire in a tattoo parlor in a rustbelt town. And sadly, yes, dead co-eds.

I always like your little details, hon, so it works for me.

And Spike's here.....and killing the girls, most likely. Having a good meal each night.
Thanks, Kim. And Spike isn't the kind of guy to go hungry, right? Or apologize for his place in the food chain ...

Loving it - especially the Pgh touches (not that I know anything about a tatoo parlor, but...)
Glad you're enjoying it! And so pleased that the Pgh touches are working. Sticking Spike in my old stomping grounds has been great fun.

nice story, I am guessing it isn't Spike who kills those girls, but he'll somehow save her from the serial killer? Anyway great story, can't wait to read more.
Sour, that's a truly romantic notion, and I considered rewriting the entire story to make Spike a hero. But I should warn you ... this Spike is, at best, amoral. More S2 Spike than S5. Then again, maybe there's a whole other story in that idea. *VW spies the twitchy little pink nose of a plot bunny, leaves to give chase.* Thanks for reading & reviewing!

Pretty cool that you're using real places!

I'm enjoying the story. I may have to go back and read the other one. Not because I'm not understanding this one, but because this is so good that I'm interested in the other now.

Glad that Buffy used the money Spike gave her. She's an artist now with her own life [but alone].
Interesting start to this sequel.
Thanks - and yup, Buffy is grown up and has done pretty well with that check from Spike.

So excited to see this sequel! Just read "Meet the Pratts" last week, so finding this was like you read my mind.

Ooh, danger, character development, great red boots, a mystery in the making and (dare I say it) the promise of a future Spike sighting? Sign me up!
Thanks, Scarlett! So glad you liked it ... and Spike will be appearing momentarily!

Ooooh, nice start. Dead co-eds,huh?

Wow, talk about changing someones life around. Liked how you'd incorporated both Parker and Scott into this life, parallel to canon. So Spike is killing petite blonds? Really excited about this sequel any news on the one for "Instant Sun"? Thanks, looking forward to more.
Hey, Verda - thanks! And the sequal for Instant Sun is in the works, too ...

Would Spike be keeping an eye on her? :)

He's in that town, now, at any rate. And can't get her out of his head.....
You're not wrong ... but you'll have to wait & see! *Grins*
