Oh wow!!! Raw emotion and lovers torn apart! And what a cool way to introduce in Dru at the end there it was all so perfectly laid out here. I know it's sad what happened but I'm dying to see their reunion and what happens with that!!! This is just fantastic how you made their world shatter and how they both have to try to be without the other.
You rock as a writer!!!
Please add more soon!!!
I'd pay you at this point I'm so caught up in this!!!
Ok ok I should not read this on a sugar high but I had to do something other wise I'd be ripping my hair out here over this!!!
Author's Response: If you want to pay me, you won't hear me complaining. lol. Seriously, though, I really appreciate your feedback, sugar high or no.

She was his. She wouldn’t leave him............
Those words kept echoing in my head while I read this because I too thought she would not leave him for any reason. I hope that even with being turned and the years without him that he goes without her that when they do meet up again he will remember that shewas his* and wouldn't leave him* if she could have been able to prevent it.
I love love love love love your way you write this I think I'm a *Unbridled Brunette* fan-girl!!!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you feel that way. Thank you! :)

i found this story last night and had to force myself to stop after a few hours so i would get some sleep. but i came back to it as soon as i could. i'm completely hooked. :)
this is wonderfully written. i'm not sure what it is about the style but it feels Literary. I particularly enjoyed the occasional intrusion of the narrative voice - warning us of impending sorrow. well, maybe enjoy is not the word. :) appreciate in an angsty sort of way. anyway, i'll be anxiously awaiting the rest of the story.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review, sus. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. :)

Oh gosh it was sooooo sad I felt bad for everybody in this and then when he knew she would never wear his ring and he was sick from the thought of it.
Brillant job here on this I feel like begging you not to leave the house and just write for the next 48 hours cause I just gotta know what is going to come next !!!
Author's Response: lol. Well, hopefully it won't be too long a wait for you, Record Breakers. And I'm glad you are enjoying the story that much. Thanks for telling me so. :)

I need to buy stock in the Kleenex company once more you blow me away this story. This just made me cry like a spuffy baby
((“Oh, sweetheart, sweetheart,” he groaned. “Why—?”
He ran the delicate material across his mouth and breathed in its fragrance. Part of him imagined that she would suddenly appear behind him. That at any moment he would feel her slim, smooth arms wrap around his shoulders and her melodious voice in his ear. Because always before when he fell into despair, she had appeared. Always before—But not this time.))
Because he just knows shes gone and never coming back ok I have to stop my review here before I start crying here in my lunch break. Wonderful, fantastic, beautiful, original, touching, realistic, and true to the love of Buffy and Spike. I never have followed a story here as much as I have latched on to this one thank you for entertaining me.
Author's Response: I am so flattered that the chapter affected that way, SpikesDeb. Thank you for telling me so. You've really made my day with your review. :)

What is going on with the site here it keeps not letting me read my favorite fic updates! Grr! bad Spuffy Realm bad!
Well anyway this was a tear jerker but I knew at some point it have to happen to get to the next part in the story but I loved how you wrote his reactions to losing her. Him rushing home and running up the stair to give her his ring and then the wave of dread over taking him and then the anger over the loss. Simply breathtaking this chapter I just wanted to jump in and give him a hug and tell him it would be ok. I am dying to see what happens next with him and Buffy.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reviewing. :)

Hey UB. Haven't reviewed for awhile (I know - spank me NOW for being a dirty rotten lurker) but felt compelled to tell you...you've brought this piece along perfectly. After so much story and character development we get to the end of chapter 27 and it feels like our story's only about to begin. I mean SERIOUSLY - Buffy's gone home (right?) with a true and sincere love for William, Dru's arrived (to turn him yeah?) at his lowest and most vulnerable moment, and the possibilities for what their future (please say impending) reunion could bring are just mind-boggling! Love, hate, lust, joy, denial, feelings of betrayal. They're all very distinct possibilities. Whatever you choose I just can't wait for the ride and must thank you for a consistently engaging read.
Author's Response: Well, I suppose that by reviewing now, you have redeemed yourself for your lurkery ways. So I won't spank you. :P
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and I hope you continue to in the future. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 03/16/2007 - 02:38 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
Oh bugger. At least.. Hopefully. They'll be reunited again?
Author's Response: You'll just have to wait and see, now won't you? ;)

Date: 03/16/2007 - 02:28 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
clever, and sooo sad. looking forward to the next bit.
no wonder Spike adores Buffy so much
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. :)

YES! I KNEW IT! (here I go again!) I HECKA KNEW IT! I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS, FOR, LIKE, 10 CHAPTERS! Wow... I'm so freaking excited for this fic. It makes me sound very inarticulate, but it's just because I LOVE IT!!! Uberyay for the speedy update; can't wait for more! MORE MORE MORE!
Author's Response: lol. Well, I did try to foreshadow just a little bit, but I certainly hope you didn't find the chapter predictable. ;) I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for reviewing!

Date: 03/16/2007 - 01:37 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
I can't wait for the next chapter. I think I'm one of the few people who wanted this story to continue in the future. But I guess that remains to be seen.
Author's Response: I hope you enjoy the next chapter, and thank you for reviewing. :)

Date: 03/16/2007 - 01:15 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
HOW COULD YOU LEAVE IT WITH A CLIFFHANGER LIKE THAT!!!!!!! You are truly diabolical!! please update asap, i'm dying to know what happened to buffy and what will happen to william/spike!!! please?
Author's Response: I'm working on it now. Hopefully, it won't be long, but of course, the Muse is a fickle mistress sometimes.
Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 03/16/2007 - 01:13 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
oh boy.
Author's Response: lol. I hope that's a good "oh boy."

Date: 03/16/2007 - 12:47 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
That was wonderful. Heart wrenching, but wonderful. Thank you for the quick update. It was very much appreciated!! Can we have another one please?! OR... couldn't you just put aside your RL and do nothing but write this story? This is some seriously GREAT reading!! Please keep it coming fast!!!!
Author's Response: lol. Trust me, if I could put aside RL responsibilities and write full time, I would. That is my long term goal, anyway. ;) But for now, I'll just have to do my best. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story, and thank you very much for taking the time to tell me so.

I absolutly love this story. I like the way you had William blame himself for her disapperance. I thought that he would have been livid with her and then would have ran into the arms of Drusilla. How long are we going to have to wait till Will/Spike will see Buffy? I hope you don't make us wait too long for another update.
Author's Response: Well, I hope it won't be too long for another update, either. We'll just have to hope that the Muse continues to obey. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Date: 03/15/2007 - 11:36 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
sooooooooooooo heartbreaking - thank you so much for such a quick update. I can't wait until the next chapter.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the feedback. :)

Date: 03/15/2007 - 11:06 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
Oh My! Can't wait to see what happens now in the future! Please write more soon!
Author's Response: Soon, I promise. I'm working on the next chapter now and so far, it seems to be coming along nicely. Thanks for the review!

OMG THAT WAS SO SAD!!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE THAT DRU FOUND HIM AND IS GOING TO TURN HIM, im kinda glad and i hope that when he sees her in the furture he still loves her. i LOVE this story SOOO much and am so happy that u updated. i cant believe how sad he is and i cant wait to see how u write buffy getting back to the future and if he remembers her. i really hope that everything works out and that buffy and spike/ william talk and get together. also i hope that spike kept the ring and that if/when they get together he gives it to her. PLEASE update as soon as u can, i CANT wait to read wat happens next. thanx
Author's Response: Well, I don't want to give away any plot secrets, sarah g. But just remember that this story is, above all else, a romance. So even if rocky roads lie ahead, there will always be something pleasant to cling to. Thanks so much for your feedback! :)

I've never read your work before but honestly you should be published or Joss should beg you to work for him because you just rock. I mean this blew me away and I mean blew me away Ive laughed and cried on reading this and feel like these are real people this site should name a award after you and this story it has it all.
I hope i catch your next page of this cause I want to see where Elizabeth ends up or if her time Spike reconizes her dressed as his lost Elizabeth I'm betting he freaks out.
This story is a 10 every reader here should and better read this.
Author's Response: What a kind and very flattering thing to say; you have honestly just made my day with your review. Thank you!

Date: 03/15/2007 - 10:36 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
This was hard to read and I'm sure harder to even write. Bravo to you in pulling off this chapter because it is pefect in how with her gone and thought for dead its like his soul was ripped from him even before anyone could turn him. And real love is like that it tears your soul apart.
(( Applauds you))
Author's Response: Thanks so much, SaundersFrench. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

I dont know about anyone else but I burst nto tears with him holding her nightgown. I thought Matthew would get a beating I really felt bad for him too. I love this fic case it sucks me right in. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee put more up as soon as you can cause Buffy is still outthere somewhere!!!!
Author's Response: It was really painful for me to write that scene with Matthew, since Matthew is the character of my creation and I like him so well. Still, one can't really blame William. He was in agony at the time and looking for something to lash out at, and Matthew just happened to be the most likely target. I'm glad you liked the story, and thank you so much for taking the time to review!

Date: 03/15/2007 - 10:20 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
My friend called me and told me to read this new page asap!
First I love love love your take on William and how you tell this story and second you gave him every reaction a guy like him would have just as a human would perfectly.
Gru at the end was the most perfect part cause William has given up on being a man becoming a monster now is the perfect answer for him.
Now I'm dying to see how Buffy fairs on the other side.
Author's Response: You have a great handle on William's character, so your review was a pleasure to read. I'm glad you like the story, and thanks so much for offering me feedback. :)

Date: 03/15/2007 - 10:13 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
Call me terrible here but I want Spike on the other side of this time portal when Buffy comes thru and she's wearing Elizabeth's dress, in the last thing he saw her in and he does sees who she is. Cause that's gonna be a show!!!
Hot damn this story kicks all kinds of ass!
Author's Response: Thanks for saying that, Delta. I'm so flattered that you think so. :)
Buffy and Spike will, of course, meet again. However, I'm not sure it will be as soon as most people hope. But I promise, this story will continue to be a romance in each chapter. True love, after all, is eternal.

Date: 03/15/2007 - 10:08 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Seven
Oh thank you I didn't know how I was gonna make it waiting to see what happened next here. Poor William so much to go thru to lead him o his fate but it had to happen ths way. I think you were dead on in how you had him react your the best Will/Spike writer I have ever seen here. I need tissues and chocolate!!!
Author's Response: A good Hershey or Dairy Milk bar is definitely the thing to ease all sorrow. I'm sorry to upset you, because you're one of my favorite reviewers. But I'm glad you liked the story in spite of all the angst. Thanks so much for the feedback!
