Bio:
I'm a college student - originally loved the show, but stopped watching season 4 and then came back season 5. Loved Spike and came to love the whole series and understand it better beyond the obvious popularity of the first 3 seasons. I guess it's important to mention that the Spike and Buffy relationship was the thing that helped hook me back in ;) Color me convinced that Spike and Buffy are meant to be! I've been a fic reader since 2002 or 2003, and I'm a new writer as of Jan 2005. I love reviews - they are what keep me writing, so leave them!
Feel free to email me, or friend me on Livejournal - don't be shy!

Wow, you're quick! lol. I'm glad that you updated twice because that last chapter was way angsty and I was begging for more! I love how you have Buffy sort of shell-shocked because maybe this time she'll get the severity of it! Great job! Can't wait for more!

I loved the emotional hospital scene where a thickheaded Spike finds out Parker has been raping her. Well, duh! But I thought it was great - and the fact that he's going to 'take care of it.' Loving it still!

*rubs hands together* Finally our evil revenge! I thought it was a great what you did with Buffy thinking that Spike just wanted to have sex with her, and the comparison of her also wanting to. I hope she's able to re-build her own sense of worth!

Aw, Buffy really IS broken. I love how you went with this though - it's more realistic after what horrible Parker did to her! I hope Spike is able to get her to open up soon. Can't wait for more!

Oh, nice point when Buffy thought I love you meant pain! She sure has lots of damage control to work through, and it takes time, so everyone should just be patient, lol. You know what I'm talking about ;)

Well, I can see her walls chipping away, but she's got so much more to go! I'm glad you're taking it slow - it's much more realistic. I mean, who would suddenly be ok mere days after a long-term abusive relationship? ;) lol, you know what I'm talking about!

Oh thank god she finally stood up to him. I might've had an ulcer if she didn't do that soon :P I can't describe why, but I liked the part where Buffy was momentarily scared of vicious Spike. I think it's just a good point, combined with a yum image of grrr Spike beating up bastard man.

Satisfaction :) I liked how Spike got his 2 cents in without going completely ape-shit on everything - it was just the right amount of jealous-SPike ;)

The daughter of two vampires- sent to Sunnydale, when it’s discovered that it’s safer for her to be away from the dangers her father must face everyday. Growing up away from her family, Elizabeth Angel is known as Buffy Summers. A strong warrior, who starts getting a little too close to the vampire that her father trusted enough to protect her.

dear Lord! You said different and were all hesitant about it, but I LOVE IT!!! Gah!!! The age flashbacks were soooo good. Sigh. I'm so glad I won't have to wait like a month for each chapter. And I must say, attacking a subject like this - brilliant style twist! :D

Yet again, you have me on the edge of my seat. I love how Buffy decided to play calm girl and how that hurt Spike. Although, I still can't wait for Spike to know that she's been in love with him all these years - and of course there's his revelation of how long his feelings have been developing. I don't even see the ick factor anymore - I just see that those two soooo need to be together! I know you'll make it happen eventually because reading the progress has been and will be so much fun! Btw, your writing quality is still going strong!

I love angst! lol. What else can I say but that I loved this chapter and Spike's stupid denial too. More please :) Oh and I'm surprised Buffy keeps letting him off easy. I bet he would cave if she just stopped being the one to compromise *evil grin*

Why does your story make me yearn? Oh yea, it's because you refuse to stop torturing us! lol. I LOVED this chapter and the fact that Spike not only kissed her, but asked her to stay, even if his reasons are a lie! More please! I gave you a sneak preview, remember? lol.

I can't believe I lasted this long without asking you for the chapter! Aren't you proud of me? lol. I thought Spike's jealousy was ever so cute - why doesn't the bozo realize what that means yet? fiiiine, I'll be patient and wait for him to come around - can't say the same for the next chapter! As always, looking forward to more!

I knew it! She's going to threaten leaving - finally! I hope Spike gets smart fast before she really does. Very good emotion on behalf of Buffy, and Spike is still so in denial, but at least his inner thoughts are reflecting more acceptance. Great chapter! Give me moreee.

I'm giving you a stone cold expression. Lol, kidding - this just proves the cliffhanger war isn't over! But now I must rant, what the hell was Buffy thinking?? If it's not from an attack, then she really messed up and acted like a hyprocrite when she yelled at Spike for possibly being with Aubrey. Gah, update soon! :)
