Chapter 21~ Knowledge Found

With Willow’s locator spell, finding Spike proved a lot easier than the conversation Buffy was sure Angel was trying to have at that very moment.

“We getting there my way, or the old fashioned way?” Willow asked.

Buffy scrunched her face in distaste.

“Your way makes me all

Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying this :D

Your Willow/Buffy conversation was perfect from Willow calling Buffy on her crap to Willow needing her curiosity satisfied regarding vampire stamina.

That last section is very mysterious.

[bite_or_avoid]

I really wanted to get the their dynamic right. Willow is usually the voice of support and reason when Buffy is confused re: Angel, but she's also grown up a great deal. I was hoping to encompass both of those here. I'm so glad you liked it.

Gots to move the plot along with the mysterious bits :P

Yes, yes the game's afoot, and Willow's all nosy friend-y and Spike's all lovelorn-y and mysterious stranger is all bad-y. I likey.

[bite_or_avoid]

Hehe, thanks hon! Is this your subtle way of telling me I overdid it with the -y-ifying of words? :P

[a_mistletoe]

Heck no; I think I was channeling Buffy, or feeling puckish or something. I don't think it was subtle! *g*

The Buffy/Willow convo was pure <3

I could practically see them back in Sunnydale High having this convo!Perhaps having the convo they should have had after Buffy's 17th Birthday.

The last part? Angel may have a contender for world champ of the cryptic:p

[bite_or_avoid]

Yay! I'm so glad Buffy/Willow worked for you. I really wanted some of that old-school magic back between them.

Yep, that Lucien is a shady character :P

Thanks, hon!

D'aww. That was precisely why I was happy that Willow was back. Although, now I wonder, how exactly did the "word of mouth" get around? Who else has been talking about shagging vampires? (I also wonder if Willow regrets missing her chance with Vamp!Willow, but that's just too many kinks in one, so probably not.)

Nice seeing Spike again, and I'm glad he was surly about Buffy and Angel because come on, it's Spike. No matter how much he gets over Buffy he's never going to be happy that she's happy with someone else, and somehow, that's kind of part of his charm. Also, for some reason I liked picturing him talking to the girls while smoking in bed. Unless he got out of bed at some point and I missed it. Anyway, the Spike scene was way cute.

He wondered when The Others would find that troubling.Dude, seriously, this island is big enough for all of us

[bite_or_avoid]

LMAO! Waaay too many kinks in one ;) And, I figure, Willow hangs around in some witchy circles. Some of them are bound to have heard things about vamps in the sack, right?

So glad you liked the Spike scene. Clearly, he wouldn't be ok with any man with Buffy, but Angel especially. He may have to live with it, but he's sure as heck not going to keep his mouth shut, lol.

Dude, seriously, this island is big enough for all of us.

Bwahahaha! I didn't even think of that until you pointed it out. And I call myself a LOST fan :-/

You're right about Lucien. He's not one or the other, but he clearly thinks he was doing the wrong thing before and is doing the right thing now. We'll see how that all turns out for him ;)

Thanks so much for commenting, despite technical difficulties. Hope your comp/internet situation resolves soon.
