Well done! It's been a while since I've read anything about the fanged four (three) back in the day. This was great fun.

Thank you! There is nothing I love more than the fanged four (and especially the dynamic between only Darla, Spike and Dru)

It's touching that the children would go to all that trouble. Though not from the perspective of anybody but Darla, I suppose.

the boy and Drusilla were both well into their twenties, old enough to survive on their own.

And so they shall be, soon enough. Sentimental she may be, but not all that sentimental.

This was a lovely autumn evening read. Thanks so much, m'dear!

Thanks for reading!

Dru and Spike are the best at signs of affection that double as mayhem. Which I imagine Darla only putting up with for so long.

SUCH FUN. You have this writing style that's so absorbing. Why is that you don't do Buffyverse fic more often again? ;D

Thank you so much! I'm not making any promises because RL is a pain, but I've started a BtVS rewatch and it is getting the creative juices flowing...

That was a lovely, sensual story - in a horrid vampire way. I've always wondered how long Darla stuck it out wiht Spike and Dru after the business in China.

Thank you so much! Sensual and horrid is what I was aiming for. Plus there is just so much room to play with Darla's rough, reluctant affections.

ooooh, gorgeous. I love Darla's prickly relationship with Spike and Dru and this is totally how I see it, too.

Thank you so much! I am endlessly fascinated by the many permutations of Darla, Drusilla, Spike and Angel' relationships, especially ones we only get a glimpses of in cannon. I think about Darla responding to Dru and Spike a lot (especially as there seems to be very little fic focused on them as a three-some)
