Bio:
I am 41 years old and live in Alabama. I work as a 911 emergency dispatcher for the local sheriffs office, enjoy cosplay and gaming, as well as writing. I have recently returned to Spuffy fanfic after a long hiatus and have been working on rewriting my first story, Breathless. For the past several years I've been writing Walking Dead fanfic, which can be found over on Archive of Our Own under the pen name SerenityTWD, if anyone is interested.

Great chapter, looking forward to finding out if Riley will help them or not.

I really like the whole Oz/Tara relationship, even if its only in the family sense, seeing as Tara still likes the girls. Wonder what Willow will do when she finds out that they not only got groiny, but produced offspring? Dark, veiny Willow, maybe? Or has she learned her lesson last time? As far as Riley, I wish Buffy would just shove her relationship with Spike all up in his face with a hardy har har "I finally got a real man" comment. I really hated Riley, even more so than Angel. Sad, really. Great chapter, I will stop rambling now. Can't wait for the next one!

Great chapter! I literally kept holding my breath waiting for someone to try and attack Spike while he was out on patrol. Grr! I hate Riley! As far as Willow, I'm not too sure about her actions as of yet, but I will keep my fingers crossed that's she's still not evil. Looking forward to more! I totally understand the frustration when your muse decides to not show up. Just be patient. I know it's insanely aggravating, but I know for a fact that trying to push yourself makes it worse. All of your faithful readers will still be here no matter what!

Ok, so for some insane reason my lenghty hearfelt review didn't go through, so I am going to try it again. This was a great update, as always. (You know you're a great writer, but I also know it's nice to hear it, right!?)

I seriously wanted to strangle Riley and his meddling ass. Of course, I pretty much always want to inflict some type of pain on him.

As far as your lack of creativity break, honey...take all the time you need. While that is hard for me to say since I LOVE this story and cannot wait for an update, I know how difficult it is to attempt to write a story and have totally zero motivation or inspiration. As a writer myself, I figure most readers would appreciate a well thought out chapter rather than something the write just rushed out for update purposes.

That said, I do hope Muse decideds to return. Until then, I will wait patiently (or as patiently as humanly possible) for your next installment.

Just caught up, somehow I missed like three chapters of updates?! Anyway, I am so happy that you are sticking this out, I totally LOVE this story!

My severe and uncontrollable hatred of Riley has mounted exponentially while reading this story, especially after the whole 'Over my dead body' issue. Unless Spike's chip removal really is over Riley's dead body, cause that would be way cool.

Buffy and Tara's interaction in this past chapter was so sweet. Although she is sad that Tara is moving out, I figure it would be for the best since the house is a tad bit on the full side. Add extra baby baggage in there and it would be really cramped.

Great updates! Looks like MUSE has finally showed up in full force. I will be standing by...patiently waiting for an update.

Date: 07/04/2008 Title: Chapter 17: A dragon or a tiger

First off, I want to apologize severly for my lack of reviews lately. It was totally uncalled for and the blame lies solely on the IT dept where I work who thought they could sneak in and net nanny everyone's computers. So, didn't work, because said improvements made it to where we couldn't do anything at all...not even play back things our supervisors wanted us to watch. That said, the ban has been lifted as of today and I will be back to read all your updates!

Second, can we totally have Riley's head shoved up his ass? I mean literally, cause figuratively...its already there. He's such a pigheaded assmonkey. Though, I loved Faiths dial it back and chill comment...so very her.

Well, on to the next...which I will review with gusto to make up for my absence!

No he didn't! He did, didn't he? Riley No-balls Finn actually had the gall to suggest snatching the babies and raising them to be some kind of demonic weapon. The nerve!

Ooh, I hope Spike gets that chip out some how or another and kicks Finn's sorry excuse for an ass! Grr!
And, just for a huge bright spot on my day, be a pidge and slaughter the rest of the Initiative for me, too. Yeah, cause that'd be fan-freaking-tastic.

Still loving it!

Date: 07/04/2008 Title: Chapter 19: Let every eye negotiate for itself

Ok, so maybe Graham can survive the slaughter...but only if he actually doesn't follow orders. Maybe.

Completely in shock that Travers isn't being the total dickwad we all know he can be. Color me surprised! I am looking forward to finding out the other conditions of the agreement; not to mention, what he thinks about Anya. Interesting.

On to the next!

Ok, I had apparently forgotten to finish reading what I had started a couple of weeks ago. Dunno, maybe I got sidetracked at work or something. Anyway, just finished up with what you have so far and I really like it. I kinda hope that Spike doesn't take Buffy back into his good graces for a while; makes it interesting! Course, I do love the angst, huh? Really looking forward to more!

I had seen this a while ago, but wanted to wait for it to be completed to start reading (have an awful lot of stories going on right now), but somehow or another, I forgot to favorite it and well...forgot about it.

Well, during a very boring night at work, I decided to browse thru the completed stories and came across it. So very happy that I did! It was even better than I had thought it would be. Great job weaving such a wonderful story.

The ending suprised me, pleasantly. I love it when Spuffy can get together and live a normal life. Makes me all mushy and whatnot.

Loved it!
