POST UP TO 52 lol or dus that totally defeat the purpose? I am so desperate to read more

Author's Response: Well, if I did that, then there'd be no more chapters for a long time while I spent the time writing new ones, so I don't think you really want that. lol

I do like that you skipped ahead, rather than pulling us through the horrendous healing process after a major relationship ends. I had no idea you were jumping that far in the future-- so I sort of did a Keanu Reeves impersonation-- "Whoa." Great chapter to see what Buffy's been up to, with an indirect glimpse into Spike's life. Looking forward to seeing some of Spike's internal dialgogue about his new girl.

poor buffy! sucks to be her right now...lol. thanks for the info on chapters! i'm actually really glad to hear that its not close to being over! just hope its not all sad like this....

Three years later??? *cries some more* I have faith in you that you will make it all better but I am so bummed right now. It is nice to know that Buffy at least finished school and is doing something worth while. I don't care how long you take I don't want to let these guys go.

OMG!!!!! WTF!!!! I HATE EVE!!!!!! WHY IS HE WITH HER!!!! i cant believe that hes with eve, i wonder if hes happy, i hope he isnt. i love this story so much and am so happy u updated. errrr im so mad that they arent together and that they are both moving on. they know they love each other and spike should have gone after her and at least of gotten a reason why she wanted to break up with him. i really really hope that spike and eve break up soon and that nothing serious happens between buffy and robin. also i hope that it doesnt take to long for the to at least talk and start to work things out between them. please update as soon as u can, i cant wait to read more and see wat happens next. thanx

wow. that was a really big time gap. lol. loved it. though. buffy only has herself to blame for this. did spike even try to contact her during all that time?? that's just stange that he just left and didn't even try to do anything about getting back together. oh well, loved it lots. post soon.

Well, I wanted to know how Spike was going to handle it...what he would say to Mo, and the band, and Travers. We got Buffy's side of the leaving, but we didn't get Spike's.

3 years? Geeze...not even Christmas cards? They still share the same family. And what did the family think of them breaking up? Giles and Dawn would definitely have a lot to say. I think Joyce would pretty much stay out of it, for the sake of not over-stepping the bounds of her new truce with Buffy.

He's with Eve? Ewwww...

I have no problem with Robin, but I don't see him and Buffy clicking at all, relationship-wise. Just doesn't fit. And I noticed she's blonde again. What made her take the sunny change?
Good convo with Amanda...that was really helpful. Too bad Buffy is cluless when it comes to keeping a boyfriend.

I bet Spike and the actress is just a publicity stunt by Travers- it would be in character.

Anyway, I hope they meet again soon- and I hope Buffy stops whining. She made the decision to dump him without even talking about things fist, and I think she more than deserves to suffer. Spike definitely had issues, but she's the one who ended it. Plus I really really hate people who do something horrible and then say it was all for someone else.

Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'm glad you skipped the 3 years, if it was all going to be angst. This story really is going on a lot longer than I thought it would...

I, for one, appreciate the three yer time jump, not for the fact that I don't want to read ten chapters of sob (not that I do, but you know), it just seems right. I can't explain it, haha. But anyway. I really like how this chapter is going and appreciate that you're one of the authors that will finish a story no matter what! Thanks, good update, and can't wait for the next chapter!

Thanks for the time jump and no I don't think I could handle the heartbreak any longer,though I would if you were writing it. Anyways, great chapter. I like how Buffy has made something of herself. Now to just get her and Spike in the same room...hmmmmmmmm I will keep waiting to read .

I can understand "the jump", but oh my !!! I am hoping something changes for our duo. I still want to smack them both in the head. I am just feeling sad for them, especially Buffy at this point. (even though I think she made a huge mistake) I am sure when we read Spike's point of view, I will feel saddness for him. Great chapter an thanks

I for one truly appreciate the time jump - I have no desire to read chapter after chapter of heart broken sobbing buffy or drunken, heart broken pitiful spike so time jump away. And as far as chaps? You keep writing them and I'll keep reading them. As for the last couple of chaps- Personally I think Buffy was wrong, her motives may have been noble, but what she did was totally wrong for her and for Spike. And I don't believe that Spike has moved on as much as Buffy thinks he has, but I'm sure you'll fill us in on all that you have planned for our fav couple. Thanks for the great tale so far. Looking forward to more. (Oh and can Quentin Travers get hit by a bus or have a piece of satelite fall on him and kill him or something? I know he wasn't in the tale too much, but he started this whole "you'll hurt his career" thing and I think he needs to pay. Well, that and I just love it when he get's dead - brightens up my whole day!) I know, your story, your way - I'm just ramblin' about my own thoughts. Thanks again. Love the story!
