The opinion section below only lets me choose "Liked It"...but I LOVED this story. I have read all of the Originsverse stories you have posted here, and I am a big fan...but the way you linked Spike and Buffy together from previous lives is by far my FAVORITE beginning...

And I hope desperately that this is just a beginning. I would love to see the details of their victorian life come out; to see themselves find out what they once were. I also want to see how their relationships with their friends and significant others (Dru) develop, and how they deal their roles as master vampire and Slayer now that they are together. This was a big change from most of the other fanfics that I've read, since their relationship started at first site (season 2), and before Buffy had a relationship with Angel...which I'm assuming made it easier for her friends to accept her liking a vampire the second time around...and since Angel had a soul, and now Spike does not.

The aspect that makes me enjoy your writing over most other fanfic authors (I have one or two other favorites), is your explanation of Spike and Buffy's relationships...they NEED each other, like life blood; that it's just given, and it comes naturally to them when they find each other and/or give in to their feelings.

I hope to see more of this...PLEASE? I love writing, too, but I can never bring my writing to this level...with dialog. You are brilliant. :) I would LOVE to beta for you, if you need one. :)

Wow....that was just wow. Heart -clenchingly beautiful. I wish there was more. Seems like there is so much wonderful story left to tell.

Wow! This was so intense... and beautiful... and so well written. I know you said this was a one shot, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, you never know ... someday your muse might really want to tell more about this story.

It would be wonderful to read a longer story about B & S and how they go on from here now that they're finally together again, how they deal with Drusilla & Angel, Buffy's friends, etc.

Or... I'd love to read about their past history. What really happened from their first meeting, to their falling in love, etc.

Oh my God, there's so much potential here!!! *bounces up and down*

Sorry, I got a little carried away *lol*. Honestly, whatever you decide, sequel/prequel or not, this is a wonderful piece of fiction, wonderfully done. I love all your work and this is just another confirmation of how talented you are. I can't wait to read more from you, whatever you decide to write. ; )

Thank you!

P.S. Sorry for any mistake, English isn't my mother tongue. *sheepish grin*

Fate indeed. So many ways to love that. A wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.

its really beautiful .

i loved this! the wonder and awe that they both feel are well portrayed. i like that their present strength and status as predator were influenced by their previous stint as prey. i'm interested in finding out the nature of their connection, but the story stands wonderfully on its own.
Thanks for this!

That was soo lovely and beautiful. Loved the way you mixed the different story lines and left somethings up to the reader's imagination. Can't wait to read more of your work.

I loved and adored this story! It was so beautiful, well written and the emotion was perfect. It left me wishing for more, but happy at the same time that it was finished. I just loved it, thank you for sharing it :)

I absolutely loved this! I would also love to know the back-story or 'what happens next' - but I also love 'Origins' and am keenly awaiting the next chapter of that one. Too many good ideas!
