great story, very clever to not let buffy write a note "william" might recognize her hand writing. can't wait to see how this all plays out

Author's Response: Thank you very much. Hee, I don't think "William" would recognize her handwriting yet, something is going to happen to him so he can remember. *hint hint*

*waves* I'm still here.. I just may fall sometimes behind reading.
Uh-huh.. Buffy was making fun of Joyce.. lying she was with Spike? Joyce loved it.. the thought I mean. And a bit Buffy is lying to herself, huh? And Joyce tries very hard to convince Buffy of Spike's qualities. Loved the mother/daughter talk :-D
Hehe and now Buffy has to go again and see him because she forgot to tell Spike her mom's message. And both (Buffy and Spike) are very busy to deny that they don't like each other ;-) Loved the update! Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: *waves back* I'm glad you still are! I know perfectly well about falling behind writing and reading. *sighs* Hopefully we're back in full now.
I'm glad you liked the mother/daughter interaction, we loved writing that and that you enjoyed the update. Thank you very much!

Hmmm. If I were Buffy, and Spike removed a notebook in front of me and placed it where it was difficult to reach, I'd be curious as to what was in said notebook. And you know if she reads it, she's gonna be paying more attention to the writing style than the words (unless she recognizes something that William wrote and now Spike is writing). I can't wait to read more this. Thanks for sharing.

Author's Response: *lol* I think I'd be too, but she was too worried trying not to feel what she was feeling or trying to deny it to care that much about the notebook for the moment. ;) Thank you very much for reviewing, we hope to have another chapter to post this Sunday.

This is getting good. Damn juicy with the conflicting feelings going on between both of them. I loved Spike's reaction when she called his bluff. I read your last response to my review for chappy 7 and laughed when you 'hit the wrong key'. I though I was the only one who did that kinda stuff. Take your time on the updates, life gets in the way sometimes I know. This story is freakin brilliant, I love the light touch you're taking with it... I still can't get over how original and fresh the whole plot is. On this chappy I began to think that maybe Joyce isn't up to something, or under a spell, or whatever. I'm sold on her speech, but I guess I'm still looking for something else going on with her - like maybe she set up the whole 'thru time thing' herself for her daughter if she indeed truly likes Spike (as a future son-in-law). Still got me guessing girl. Hmmmm, wonder what kind of 'talk' she'll have with Spike when he shows up for the furniture. Oh, and hey, while I'm babbling here, how is all this happening without it's effects in the present day. I mean would Spike know what's going on if he's lived his life already - wouldn't he know about the letters, even if only up until now??? (I mean girl from the future named Buffy?) Or is it not at a point between William and Buffy for Spike to be aware of his past. So glad you're considering the picture idea. Perhaps Buffy could go snooping around in Spike's crypt one day and come across a photo of herself all 'aged' from him carrying it for a 100 yearts??? Me and my wishful thinking. Loved it, love the update, more please. Oh and thanks for your awesome review on TE and for the mention in your a/n here.

Author's Response: *lol* Oh, we sure hope it is getting good. ;) We're loving to write the conflicting and growing feelings between them.
And about hitting the wrong key, now you know you're not the only one who does that kind of things. At least it wasn't the whole chapter. ;) We're taking our time, life kind of gets in the way of writing and muses were in vacation, seems they're back now, at least we hope they are. ;)
And thank you for your comment over the story, we're very happy you think so. Hopefully it will be light and fluffy until the end, with just a few touches of angst as I can't seem to write without a little bit of that.
I'm very glad you were sold to Joyce's speech as it was inspired by your comment a few chapters ago, I wanted to clarify why she was acting like she was and I think it turned out all right in the end...She isn't the one behind the whole 'thru time thing' though. *hint hint* Hee, I'm looking forward to reading that talk too, since it's Lu's turn.
About how this is happening without its effects in the present day? Well, it's all part of a master plan, there is going to be something that will create a sort of chain reaction. Spike will remember, in due time, and remember Buffy is signing her letters Elizabeth, so that's why he can't relate them both. ;)
Oh, I love that idea about the pic, I'll try to talk Lu into it, I promise. :D
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, sorry it took me so long to answer. And you're welcome over TE, I love your story so much. :D

grr, they're both so infuriating. i don't know why they can't just admit what they feel and stop denying it already. and i have to say that buffy is especially annoying. it seems like she's still in high school with the way she acts, and why doesn't she live in the dorm? i'm hoping she'll find out the truth soon. you think something would have clicked with them both being named william. well, i'm glad to see an update. more soon!

Author's Response: *lol* Well, what can we say? I know it can be infuriating, although on the other hand, we're trying to make this story as believable as we can. In the story it has only been a week and a half since the spell and 4 days or so since they began seeing each other and Buffy got the desk, so we would find it highly unlikely that Buffy would be all over Spike declaring her undying love for him. ;) And about her living on her dorm, she lives there, but at the moment she prefers to stay home because that way she can be near the desk. I think the name hasn't clicked because how can she relate William the Bloody with her sweet William?
Thanks for reviewing and hopefully there'll be more soon.
