Hey, I read your entire story...it is absolutely perfect. Apart from amazing grammar and spelling, along with excellent literary techniques, there's still so much more. The storyline is one of the very best I've ever had the privilage of reading. The plot makes you think and ponder, and it had me on the edge of my seat wondering what's happening next. It also appeals to all your emotions, parts such as Spike's emotional outburst (in modern Sunnydale) tugging at my heart and bringing tears to my eyes. I would like to congratulate you on you're amazing writing skills and creative (and addictive) storyline. And thank you for sharing such a delightful story with readers like me. I'm waiting for you're next chapter. =]

Author's Response: How incredibly nice of you to say! I can't tell you how flattered I am to know that you think so highly of my story. I'm having such a great time writing it, and it's lovely to hear that people are having a good time reading it, as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to review. :-)

I guess when you're a modern young woman being romanced by a well-to-do innocent and very boffable Victorian gentleman birth control is the furthest thing from your mind.

Of course Angel is just jealous and bitter. ^_~

I really have taken a liking to Dawn and especially Dawn and Spike's relationship. In the show I sometimes found Dawn abrasive but you are definately showing the great parts of her character while using her to show us Buffy's flaws. Great foils for eachother.

Especially Dawn storming out in Ch.45 was reminiscent of the scene with Buffy and her mother at the end of Season 2.

Great chapter as always. Keep the updates coming~!

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the chapter. :-)

~~~Applauds~~~~~


Author's Response: :::::takes a bow::::: Thank you so much! :-D

Oh lord a baby or a lun disease I'm pulling for a baby lmao! Loved the sister fighting and Dawn being Spikes underdog.

Author's Response: lol. You mean you'd pick childbirth over TB? Yeah ... actually, that's a good choice. ;) Dawn and Spike had such a great brother/sister vibe in season five and early season six; it's a lot of fun to explore that relationship in closer detail here. I'm glad you're enjoying that aspect of the story. As for the sister smackdown - well, it was only a matter of time! Thanks so much for your review. :-D

I'm braced for impact here. Everybody is miserable, everybody is keeping big secrets...all the makings of a horrible disaster. You have done an incredible job with this story. It's so complex, and yet you've held firm to your characters and your plot and done so gracefully.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! When I started this story, I had no idea what I was undertaking. Originally, it was supposed to be only 15 - 20 chapters and all in one part. Obviously, I'm not that great at writing outlines, lol. But it's taken on a life of its own, and I'm very glad to hear that its life is a good one. Thank you! :-)

Her friends are still so clueless. And I'm also quite glad that Angel is fed up with Willow. She totally deserves it. And Dawn figured out the mystery. Good for her. I think it can only be good that Buffy can share her secret with someone, even if her attitude about the situation may be a little bit different from Dawn's. Always an amazing story. Please, update soon.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're continuing to enjoy the story. I'm especially happy that you liked the scene between Angel and Willow - it was my favorite one to write in this chapter. :-D

If I could I would hug Dawn right now for saying the one thing ever girl probably reading this is thinking. Comparing Angel to Spike is really not fair to the memory of William. OMG! preg test!!! if only love was so clear blue and easy in a fic!



Author's Response: lol. I loved the last sentence of your review. Thanks! :-D

She did do something to him she ripped his heart out all over again! ------Sorry I had to vent lol
I'm on a Buffy -n- Spike emotional roller coaster ride that needs more chapters so I get to the dip part.

More more more more more!!!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying the ride, even if it is a little rough. :-D

At least somebody yelled at Willow cause I know I wanted too!
I think it is very feasible Buffy is in denial of her feelings or even hoping a part of William could be in Spike so it is more easier to think of her William as being dead then to think of any part of him still being alive in Spike it sort of takes him off the pedestal she has put him on that a lot of girls do with the man they love. This part here said it all to me
((You’re imagining things, she told herself firmly. You’re seeing the things you want to see; you’re seeing William in Spike because you want to see him, not because he’s there.))

Love this


Author's Response: lol. Yeah, I think everyone is ready to yell at Willow at this point; I know I am. It's just great to hear that you understand Buffy's reaction to Spike. She's not behaving this way because she wants to hurt Spike; she's just confused and in pain. I had a reviewer on another site say Buffy should die, lol. So, it's great to know that most people do not agree with that. There's hope for her yet, and for them. We definitely don't want to kill her off. ;) Thanks so much for the review. :-)

Yay Dawn for comforting Spike when he needed it and yay Dawn for busting in and finding the William the Bloody files. I am hoping Buffy reads of how his un-life went on without her and maybe it will lead to her asking him some details on his life like about his Mom and stuff.
I know Willow and Tara are all ga-ga in wiccan love but they need a witch reality check and a 30 days notice to move on out, friends need space from friends and Buffy needs to reclaim her home and take her life back a little.
Buffy holding the picture of Wil;iam to her cheek was really loving I think it was my fav. part in this chapter. Now if we can only sneak Spike up to her room and find his pic pinned to a pillow lol. Please write more it is never too soon for a Forward to time Past update for me.

:)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the chapter, in particular the scene where Buffy holds the picture to her cheek. That was my favorite part, as well. :-)

Dawn really understands Spike, and I love her being a good friend to him. Her sweetness in that relationship is juxtaposed with her stubborn hard heartedness with Buffy. Buffy may be mistaken about the differences between Spike and William, but she's suffering, too. Dawn could be a bit more compassionate, but her harsh criticism is certainly in character.

I really like that Buffy is angry with Willow. She has every right to be angry. I just wish she'd explain herself so Willow can actually feel some guilt, too. The bleak scene with Buffy cradling her dress was heartbreaking.

I'd wondered about the possibility of pregnancy. I can't wait to find out the results.

This was another vivid, emotionally draining chapter. Nothing's even remotely resolved, but there's a sense of moving forward. Thank you for another riveting read.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're still enjoying the story, and that you think my characterizations are accurate. :-)

just when i think i know where you're going, you throw me back on my toes! that was actually a really good angel characterization too!

Author's Response: Glad to hear I'm keeping you on your toes. My goal in this is to keep everyone guessing until the very end. Thanks so much for the review! :-)
