Oh, wow. How wonderfully dark and disturbing. I can see how it would be a hard chapter to write, Spike having to go through the pain of inflicting torture when it's such an antithesis to who he is at the core, and Buffy enduring that immense pain for what she thinks is love. Have to say, don't think Angelus will be taking very good care of her, and it breaks my heart. Can't wait to see how the story progresses further, this is shaping up to be an incredible read.

Oh, what a wonderful one-shot. Spike's little fantasties/nightmares of what could be waiting for him were so funny, and yet with that underlying sadness and poignancy, because he was so sure something would go wrong. And, it didn't, and oh how sweet the reunion was! Loved it, and he's standing in sunlight? Well, that just makes it better. Great job!

Promised by Dorians Kitten Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 499]
Summary: William knew that she considered him a friend or maybe even a big brother, but she'd promised to marry him once and he had every intention of holding her to it. Just as soon as he worked up the nerve to remind her, that is. Who says you can't find your soul-mate in preschool? Nominated at the Sunny D Awards and at Cradle of Humanity! Thank You.

I was without SpuffyRealm access for awhile, but caught up on this story via emails, and I finally get to tell you that I LOVE it! Such an adorable concept, wonderfully written as all your stuff is, and I'm a huge fan of Liam as the Irish rogue. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Who sent you the e-mails? I need to give them a hug. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it, nearly as glad as I am that you are back to updating Speak Now! I'm rather loving Liam myself. :)

Wonderful twist! Definitely think poor WIlliam is in over his head. He's sort of getting everything he's ever wanted and at the same time, I think this situation is going to hurt him a whole lot more than it'll hurt Buffy. Hopefully she smartens up soon! That was such a hot, sexy chapter---excellent writing! Can't wait for another update.

GOD I love this fic. Like, seriously, I saw there was an update and SQUEALED. And it was totally worth the wait. I love the slow evolution of their relationship---sure it's not following the standard pattern, but it works for them. I love seeing how Buffy is slowly realizing there's something deeper going on with Will. And the sex! Oh, so hot. Wonderful, wonderful chapter.

Love it so far! High Fidelity is one of my favorite books, and movies, and I have to say I was a little worried about a Spuffy version of it. But it seems like you've done a perfect job of totally retaining Spike's character traits, as opposed to trying to make him exactly like Rob. Off to read more!

"Her blatant disregard for subtlety and tact runs so extreme that sometimes I wonder if she's from another planet or dimension, like Canada."

HA. Hilarious. Loved that part. I'm really impressed with the Spike POV, the entire thing really does sound like him. I'm already sad there's only a few chapters left for me to read.

Loved it. The introduction of Faith will be interesting, and while William was a bit of an asshole there for a moment, it adds some realism to the story. This situation definitely won't be happy-go-lucky all the time, and it'll be really interesting to see how the two of them negotiate her inexperience and his guilt. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Yeah, he was pushed wasn't he? It won't be smooth sailing by any means and because he has such a strong idea about right and wrong, it would be too easy to give into her childish seduction techniques so soon!!! Despite his obvious lust :D Thanks for the review darling :D *hugs*

Ooooh, I am excited for this party! I'm guessing drama-aplenty. Love Faith in this story, she's hilarious, and I really liked William's attempt to explain their relationship to Buffy. Even though he'll keep telling himself he's looking out for her, he's just so damn jealous! Loved it!

Author's Response: Yay!!!! So glad you like Faith, she's really very fun to write as she can pretty much what nobody else will!!! And yes, Will is very conflicted but damn, he's tryin so hard! x

I can't wait to find out what happens next. My suspicions are that maybe Billy's mother was abusive and Spike wasn't around to stop it...but the bruise is new...the possibility of it being Spike would take the story in a really dark direction, and I know you're the kind of writer who could handle it!
