So much to love going on in this chapter. I liked how Elizabeth wants to try to make William happy and how he loves her just as she is. I see a new plot twist is forming with this pony and some kind of twist involving it coming up soon. As usual this is great writing and a wonderful read. I'm biting my nails to see what happens next.
Author's Response: There is definitely a twist coming, concerning the pony. It just pleases me to no end that everyone caught that line; I was hoping you guys would. :)
Thanks so much for reviewing!

Buffy and William are so charming together, it's too bad society's dictates won't just leave them be. You peppered in a couple of ominous asides, and I'm looking forward to how the pony turns out ot be a bad thing as well as how Buffy botches showing William she adores him...
Author's Response: You know me, I love to keep you guys on tenterhooks. ;)
Thanks, as always, for reading and reviewing!

I adore this story.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. How nice of you to say. :)

You updated - yeah - but I hate that the chapters end at all. God I love this soooo much and now you've left us waiting for something bad. It's lovely that he doesn't want her to change but a bit sad that he keeps her to himself because he knows she doesn't fit in. Please update soon.
Author's Response: You're right. He is only trying to protect her, but the fact that this means he must hide her away is sad. I'm glad you felt the bittersweetness of their time together. :)
Thanks as always for reading and reviewing. And another update is coming very soon, so keep a lookout for it.

Not fair, after all her efforts, you can't let us hang in thin air with the promise of her messing things up BADLY. that's mean!!! She was doing so well...
Author's Response: I am mean, aren't I? But I won't leave you guys in suspense too long...just long enough. ;)
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Author's Response: Buffy has never been a good one for relationships, even when she tries. And she does try, she does love him. We'll just have to wait and see whether this is enough. ;)
Thanks as always for reading and reviewing. It really makes my day. :)

i really love your story and i can't wait to read more! please, will you put in a chapter where buffy kicks angelus' ass? i mean, she defeated a hell god, what's a 200 yr old vampire and here he's only 100. please update soon!!!
Author's Response: Physically, I think Buffy is perfectly capable of handling Angelus. It's only her mental blocks that are getting in her way. Whether she will overcome them or not remains to be seen.
I'm glad you like the story, and thank you for reviewing it. I promise, the next update won't take as long as this one. :)

I was happy to see Buffy os working on her self to please Wiliam and make things easier for him. and I loved the hug part in the library. Seems like trouble is a head or a fall from the horse. Either way I'm hooked on this fic. Great job
Author's Response: Thank you, Wicked Honey. I'm glad you like it. :)

Oh no! There is a botching? Now I'm biting at the bit here myself to know what that will be.
Author's Response: Buffy's good at botchings, lol. The next update should be soon, so just keep your eyes peeled.
Thanks for the review. :)

"The idea was that he would teach her to ride and then she could accompany him out on horseback as a way of amusement. It was a decision he would eventually come to regret. Yet that was an agony far ahead of him, unforeseeable as he stood in the sunny stable yard that February morning."
Ackk!!! Now I must know what happwns next!
Author's Response: You will very soon.

Date: 02/19/2007 - 08:43 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
you have made my day with this update!
Author's Response: I'm so glad. Thank you! :)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 08:33 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
oh I wonder what happens.
Author's Response: Wait and see. ;)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 07:51 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
Oh no. What's going to happen? You're evil, leaving us at that. :) Glad to see this had been updated, and I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Aren't I always evil? lol. But at least this time, I won't leave you two weeks without an update. I assure you of that.
Thanks for the review. :)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 07:17 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
Wow, this is a -really- good story, and a well-written one as well. You have a strong grip on Buffy's voice, and I love the growing relationship between her and William. I never thought I would like a Buffy/William story, but this one can't get me to stop reading :)
I can't wait until she meets with Spike again and also to see how she feels about him then.
Wonderful work! Looking forward to your next update.
Author's Response: This story started out as a challenge to myself, to see if I could write a story that focused on Buffy's POV. I used to have a really hard time finding her voice. Once I got started, though, she just came alive. I'm glad you feel I'm being true to the character. Thank you. :)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 05:57 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
I LOVE THIS STORY! Please write more soon! Thank you!
Author's Response: Thank *you* for taking the time to review. Chapter Twenty-Four won't be long in coming, I promise. My muse is being much kinder about it than Chapter Twenty-Three. :)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 05:57 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
lovely chapter. Clamouring for more after that cliffhanger. Please update soon.
Author's Response: It won't be long, don't worry. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and hope you keep reading. :)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 05:54 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
Noooooooo, you can't just leave it there! D: That's so evil! Now I won't be able to stop worrying!
I hope you update again soon! :)
Author's Response: Well, we knew I was evil, didn't we? Never fear, I won't make you worry long...just long enough. ;)
Thanks for continuing to read and review. :)

Date: 02/19/2007 - 05:54 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
What a wonderful surprise: an update! :-D
I love the way you've described their outings; you have a knack for just the right amount of adjectives.
The tension is building. What a cliffhanger to end this chapter on! Please update soon. :-)
Author's Response: Thank you. :)
I've always enjoyed books with a lot of description--not too much, because it slows down the story. But enough so that you feel as if you're there. That is what I strive for in my own writing. I'm so glad you like it. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 02/19/2007 - 05:39 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Three
no!!!! I hate hate hate when I get to the end of these chapters cos I love this story so much! I'm really not looking forward to the event referred to in the last sentence....but I still want the next chapter really soon!! Its so nice that she's made an effort to keep Anne off Wililam's back. Ooh another worry - something's gonna happen with the horse right?? ahhh its all just too much. PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE SOON this is by far one of my 2 favorite stories right now (plus in the army now) More!!!! please?
Author's Response: Something is going to happen with the horse....in a way. That's all I'm going to say about that. ;)
I love "In the Army Now," it's one of my favorite fics as well. I'm flattered that you consider mine as good.
As always, thanks for reading and reviewing! :)

Date: 02/18/2007 - 11:31 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
Please Update
Author's Response: Done and done. :)

Date: 02/18/2007 - 02:06 am Title: Chapter Twenty-One
I love this story so much. I just read all 22 chaps at one sitting and would not of hesitated to stay up all night to finish it had there been more. There are not enough stories about William to suit me and this one is so well written. Can't wait to see if Buffy is able to get William past all that Victorian sexual repression. So exhausting isn't it? How will Buffy finally make it home and how will she and Spike react to each other when she does? How long before she kicks Angelus' undead ass up and down mainstreet? I'm on tenterhooks. Great work!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the kind review. It's always nice to meet a fellow fan of William. :)

Date: 02/14/2007 - 12:17 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
First off I love this fic and secondly Ann is just a woman of her time and means well. It' is neat to see Will and Eliza feelings and romance unfold. A+++++
I'm sort of bad but I'm dying to see when Will is turned and how you have all of that happen.
Author's Response: Thanks for the positive grade. :)
You're right, Anne meant no harm; that is just the way things were done back then. And you're not bad, just a Spike fan. It's natural. ;)

Date: 02/13/2007 - 09:46 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
*Reviews again* :-D
I've reread this story twice now. I absolutely love it, and it's wonderful to read after getting out of work or finishing homework. Please update it soon! I'm started to twitch from withdrawal. ;-)
I hope everything in your personal life is going well!
Author's Response: Sorry about the withdrawal. I've posted you a "fix" to tide you over. :)

Date: 02/13/2007 - 01:53 pm Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
I went looking for romantic stories for Valentines day Spike/Buffy thoughts and this story is the best romantic story I have read on this ship in a long time. It is so well written you feel your there in the setting and about to pour some tea. I say look no further then here for a love story this has it all. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad you like the story. :)

Date: 02/12/2007 - 04:58 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
