i think i'm going to continue to stalk your stories today because this was just too delicious. the sex is hot but ultimately about bonding and romance and it turns into real believable character development. that's a rare achievement. also, did i mention hot?

So happy to see this updated! I'm really liking the complexity of the relationship between Spike and Buffy. He's challenging her to be a better person in a way that William might not have dared to do. Thanks for the great development! - q (aka sus)

aaaah! a fabulous angsty chapter! i loved the glimpse of possessive-spike in william. and buffy has every reason to be freaked by his violence. :( also nice cliffhanger with the mysterious employer.
i like the complexity of this story. it's not just a buffy realizes spike is sexy and all ends well. the characterizations and plot continue to be gripping.
nice work!

Author's Response: Thank you! One of the most enjoyable things about writing this story is expanding Spike's past and exploring his character -- not just as a vampire, but as a man as well. It's wonderful to know that I'm doing a good job with it. Thanks so much for taking the time to review. :-D

i loved this! spike's foray into high school was awesome. funny that he'd be taken for her dad, and a reminder of how Not normal he is. his employment is still way sketchy. i'm afraid that'll bring future angst.
but i liked buffy and dawn's talk, and the sexy spuffy reunion.
the scoobies are going to wig! :D

Date: 04/05/2008 Title: Chapter 57: Chapter Fifty-Seven

ooh! i was so excited to see this story updated - and it didn't disappoint :)
spike's mysterious job is really worrying me. there's going to be a big conflict about it, isn't there? silly boy. hee! i loved that line. the trip to the bank and the library were hilarious and disturbing at the same time. the outfit was hilarious, but the contempt that spike meets everywhere - that he has always met - makes me sad. :(
i loved the contrast with buffy's morning activities. and yay to xander coming around.
what's going to happen next?
thanks for the chapter, i love this story!

Author's Response: I have to admit, I had a lot of fun writing Spike's scene in the bank, and I'm happy you enjoyed it as well. I can't answer any of your questions about Spike's job, of course, but I hope you continue to enjoy the plot as it unfolds. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. :)

awww! this chapter was adorable. i love the deepening of the bond between spike and buffy. the fact she actually listened and understood him makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. the money thing went over well, but i'm worried about spike's injuries.
you capture spike's intense love and tenderness and need - in even the smallest details like the way he carries his injuries, and conceals stories of angelus.
fantastically done! thank you!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! You can't know how much it pleases me that you picked up on all the more subtle aspects of their behavior. I'm trying to make them seem very loving without a lot of fluffy speeches or constant sex. I think Spike's actions (getting her money, concealing the truth about Angel) speak even louder than his words in regards to how much he loves her.

Omniscient by Darkrivertempest Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 371]
Summary: Season 4 - Starts with the episode "Something Blue" and goes off canon from there. Spike and the Scoobies have no idea what the chip is capable of... and once it starts to misfire, Spike becomes a wealth of information. Giles becomes obessed with Spike's new-found ability and Buffy starts to look at him in a new light. But what will Riley and the Commandos do when they catch Spike in this state? Will the Scoobies save him in time? Do they even want to? Not the usual "Something Blue" fic.

Author's Response: Awww thanks Quirks! Glad you think it's original - that was my goal. And yeah, seasons 4-7 needed a serious re-write...so I started with the episode that EVERYONE tends to work with and made it very different. Thanks for the review Quirks!
