(But I can be wrong about the night, just that is was one at the Underwoods). Mmmm Buffy seems to think that it was 'the' night. Then she changed indeed things, a lot. Though I'm curious I have to continue another time. Loved the conversation that resulted from Buffy following William.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for reviewing. :)

I have the feeling Buffy did a bad thing for herself, to convince William to accompany her to the party.. even if it was a clever way now to do it. She felt good before they attended the party? I hope it stays this way...
Ah dancecards! I forgot they were used back then.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review. :)

Buffy learned to play whist? I wonder if - when she is back - will still have fun to play it. She said it, it's the year William becomes Spike. If Buffy didn't change the past and missed it up. *hopes not* She sounds very bossy when complaining about his lateness to William *g*.
Ah sneaky, not to tell Buffy what the words in the other languages meant. But she found out anyway *gg*. Ah and Buffy talked about the bracelet.

Author's Response: Buffy always struck me as a bossy person, and I think she senses that William is an easy person to manipulate (I don't want to use so strong a word as "bully" lol). I also wanted to follow her habit of masking her real feelings -- in this case concern -- with an emotion she is more comfortable with -- like anger. Plus, I just thought it was a funny scene. :P I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for reviewing. :D

I really like this its a intense romance as well as a action packed emotional story really great reading is to be found here

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. Thank you for reviewing. :)

Now the roles are reversed.. Buffy is feeling bad because they went to see the play and William is glad they did. Oh.. yeah telling that William has looked deader before is right but didn't fit (=nobody did understand).

Author's Response: lol. Yeah, Buffy put her foot in her mouth with that comment, didn't she? I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for reviewing! :D

I lioke how you've made him stand up to Angelus and watch over Dru. And the battle with him against the crowd was good for him it showed him he is strong and can come out on top. I love your story because it never lets me down and each new page tops the last I just love running across the new updates. Great job and morre soon please I cant seem to get enough of this

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad to hear that I'm living up to your expectations with each update. I appreciate the review. :)

Great chapter as usual.
Your chapters are the kind of chapters that you have to read at least twice. And not because they´re not understandable, but because they have so much information, so many "pearls" to read so yes, I least I have to read them twice. The first time goes fast, because I want to know what happens next, the second time to really enjoy the interaction between them. And everything is important.
I was a bit disappointed that Angelus didn´t talk about the slayer he had met in London or that he didn´t find it unusual that knowing there was a slayer in Rome as they say there was, there also was one in London.
But I do understand that Darla wouldn´t send Spike back to London. Better Rome, I suppose she want´s to get rid of him, and that makes sense...to send him far away....


Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and I always love hearing your thoughts. :D To address a couple of your comments ... Angelus refused to give Spike any information about the slayer, which was why he never thought to mention Buffy (although, honestly, I doubt he would anyway, given the fact that he came out worse for wear in the experience). Darla and Dru didn't know she was a slayer -- by the time they showed up Angelus already had her down, and he never mentioned the word "slayer" in front of them. Darla definitely wants Spike as far from her as possible, and part of her is hoping that he will get himself killed by the Italian slayer. What Angelus will feel when he learns of all this, it remains to be seen. ;)

Such a rebel boy our Spike is please more as soon as you can

Author's Response: I'm trying to update once a week, so hopefully I can have a new chapter cranked out by the weekend. Glad to hear you'll be eager to read it. Thank you. :)

Really good story on the turning of Willioam into Spike I miss the romance of the begining but I know it takes time to get back to the future and a past builds the man he will be

This took me all of yesterday and today to read but it was time well spent please continue with this I would really like to see him get back to her and how it will all turn out

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. And have faith; the romance is coming back in Part III. In fact, I don't see the romance being gone from the fic, just altered. He still loves Elizabeth, after all, even when he's doing things she obviously wouldn't approve of. Thanks for reviewing. :)

He didn't expect to live and he didn't expect help and is surprised when he makes it thru so the next challenge would be seeking out a slayer and defying A. & D.
Solid writing and great telling of the Spike saga here I love reading your work.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad you think so highly of it. :)

I loved this chapter. They way you incorporated the lines from the show; made it all your own. Your decription of that slayer was also very well done:

"He closed his eyes and tried to picture her. Little Italian girl—according to Darla she was no more than sixteen or seventeen. Long dark hair, peasant clothing, eyes like onyx. Lithe and smooth, her skin the color of light coffee. Quick as a viper and twice as dangerous."



Author's Response: As much as he would like to shed his William persona completely, Spike is ever the poet, isn't he? I'm glad you liked that. Thanks for reviewing. :)

I'd be in absolute shock too maybe Angelus now see's William has sort of a death wish and has no fear cause he has nothing to lose. In a way I hink he has no value on his non-life so death or death is no big thing to him at all where as Angelus is more of a survivor and enjoys his evil life.
I keep picturing Spike and Dru sort of as a evil Hansel and Gretal off to Rome to find their house made of candy and the slayer being the biggest treat of all. Spike is good for Dru in the fact he gives her a bit of a life ither then being A.'s whipping girl.
Great chapter and great turn of events for William.

Author's Response: I love the Hansel and Gretal anology. How very apt, especially in regards to Dru. Thanks for the review. :)
