I was curious to see what a poem by Buffy might read like. Although it does seem uncharacteristic for her to attempt such an introspective activity, I think the sweetness and simplicity of what you've written reflects her perfectly. If she did write something, maybe it would be just like this. I enjoyed, thanks!

Summary:
Alternate reality. Buffy starts as a normal college girl. But her life is slowly turned upside down beginning with the day she’s unexpectedly in danger. Hired by chance to protect her is Spike, a vampire with a reputation for doing business with anyone for enough money. She’s less than thrilled, but finds herself drawn to him even as she realizes he’s more than he seems. But humans aren’t the only ones after her, and when she’s called as the Slayer, her whole world changes. Things with Spike, who she’s discovered some realities about, are no longer as simple as they seemed. But being sent to the Hellmouth and realizing the high death rate of her calling, Buffy hires Spike as backup with the only thing she has left—Slayer blood. Winner of 20 awards!

I've been reading (and enjoying - so much!) for a while so I thought the least I could do was de-lurk and tell you how captivated I am by your story. The Buffy-Spike characterizations are so convincing, as is the way they interact with each other. I totally accept that Buffy and Spike could have started out on this footing and I love the fact that they are portrayed as equals despite Buffy's youth and inexperience as a Slayer. I'm also thrilled that you're taking time to carefully develop their relationship rather than just giving us the instant satisfaction of perfect sex and declarations of love that most fic would have provided us with by now. This is far grittier, more compelling and I can't wait to see you where you take it from here. Thanks for posting!

Author's Response: Well, thank you for reading, and thank you for writing to tell me! I'm thrilled to hear that you're liking it so much, especially that you think my characterizations are down. And yes, things are going slowly. Well, somewhat slowly. Buffy and Spike have already had sex, that, if not perfect, was close enough. And now that we have the UST out of the way, we can work on their emotional tension. Though the blood and biting arrangement will certainly increase their physical closeness. As for declarations of love, those are coming, but rather a looooong way down the road, since there's some other issues they have to work out first. I hope you keep enjoying! Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, I finally snatched a few moments to read this. Delicious perfect fantasy, I loved it! It kills me to know though that you have part of the sequel on your laptop somewhere. This is just too good for you to leave it there. Please, please continue, the possibilities are just too rich!

I think you can be in no doubt that interest is rampant for this story! I loved the extended interlude. Very sexy. I love a corrupting Spike!

Summary: Elizabeth is a writer who doesn't quite know what kind of ending to give her book. She desperately wants to give her characters the happy ending they deserve but doesn't know how to write a happy ending, because she's never gotten one herself...maybe Spike can help. (we all know he can lol, Spuffy all the way, some angst but it wouldn't be a real Spuffy without it) I own nothing except my ideas, which are based on what belongs to Joss whedon and mutant enemy

Don't Stop by NautiBitz Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 163]
Summary: Pre-'Becoming', Buffy and Spike duke it out in a ghost town saloon. Throw in a lasso, a mechanical bull, an acid-spewing sewer beast, top-shelf whiskey and a Journey song, and the sex just writes itself...

"Get a load of you, all slay-kittenish, taking on a pubful of nasties in your Friday night best. Hunting for new bedmates, are we? So soon after the last?"

She pursed her lips and squeezed her stake, fingers itching to wipe that smirk off his face. "I asked you first."

I was so excited to see you'd updated. That was so funny. Their snappy exchange was wonderful. I enjoyed Spike being amused by her, wanting to take of her, but without being overbearing. I especially loved this line: "Been fun and all, and I have to admit, watching you do your own version of the Macarena was bloody hilarious, but I think it’s time to put an end to this and call it a night." That's one hell of a mental picture - it totally cracked me up! I'm glad Buffy's dignity was partly restored by the end of the evening though. Please don't make us wait too long before finding out what happens over coffee.

Author's Response: You won't have to wait very long, I promise. :) Thank you so much for your lovely review!

Oh, I absolutely adore this story. I love the characterizations so much. They are developing so beautifully and authentically. I've been away and only just caught up on the last few chapters (which is why I haven't reviewed for a while). It was a real treat to have so much to read I can tell you. I'm especially enjoying Buffy and Spike's interactions with little Billy and that fact that he's instrumental in bringing them closer together. They just seem so genuinely good for one another and there's a balance between them - it's not all about Spike fulfilling Buffy's needs, which so often seems to be the case in fics. Enough rambling, just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying and looking forward to more! :)

Author's Response: Aww, thank you so very much for those kind words! I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you're enjoying my story so much. Thanks again!

Intense, complex chapter - loved it! I liked the way you handled Spike relating the story, with all the discomfort and hesitation it entailed. I also liked the way Buffy reacted - her unease and not holding back too much with her reactions. It was nice to glean some snippets about her past in there too, how she's had such a different life experience from Spike. It's going to be so interesting to see how they build a relationship when he has enormous emotional baggage and she appears to have very little. Looking forward to more, as always, Pet!

Author's Response: I'm so glad to hear that and I'll do my best not to disappoint you. Thank you.

Oh, my God!!! I just read this all the way through and it took my breath away. It's so hot and tender and playful, and I love the way Buffy is so assertive that she has Spike off-balance with shades of vulnerable William coming through. I think the length is perfect. You set up their encounter sooo skilfully and it makes what comes later all the more powerful. It put a big smile on my face! (Btw. Am longing for more 'Speak Now'... please)

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Lacune! I'm so happy you enjoyed it, it was so much fun to write so I'm glad it was fun to read. More SN very very soon, just a few revisions going on!

Hey Lisabeth,

I just wanted to tell you that I read your story and enjoyed it. I think the dialogue was wonderful - maybe you could just fill out the rest of the story out a little as some others have suggested. You've obviously got quite a vision here. Don't be discouraged by the nasty comments. Look at it this way, your fic definitely must have something to have provoked such a huge reaction! :)

I just read the first three chapters and am keen to see how this relationship will play out. I enjoyed the pace of the first two chapters, the way you took time to feed in glimpses of Buffy and Spike's pasts and insinuated how they have shaped their characters. The fast action of the third chapter was quite unexpected and intriguing. I like your style too and I hope there will be more soon.
