Only right for Spike to be there when she woke up.

Enjoyed.. what the Angel thing the apocolypse?

This was just beautiful.
I'm going to miss this 'Sideways" world when this story ends. Is there any hope that you might write more stories about their continued relationship?
Author's Response: Thank you! Well, I do have a short story planned, set a year or so after Sideways.

Yea..another installment. The good news is Angelus and Drusilla are taken out...the bad is our Buffy is again in peril. Glad you are having them band together for Buffy's sake. Looks like you may be winding down this fic...it's been a great journey. I've loved updates. We'll see how you want to take it. It's a great dynamic you've got going on between Buffy and Spike. Great read.
Author's Response: Thank you! And yes, I'm definitely winding down the fic. It's time for it to be finished, LOL. Thanks for reviewing!

Can't wait for whats coming;)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're liking the story so much! There should be an update soon!

Darn... you weren't kidding, you ended it on another cliffhanger.
*Counts the good things* at last Angelus and Dru are gone. But what did it cost them...
Too bad the gem doesn't work on humans.
Looking forward to more (and hope for the best). Buffy was promised a (long) life so there is hope.
Author's Response: I never kid about cliffhangers, LOL. But Angelus and Dru are gone! Hmm, Buffy does have that prophecy, doesn't she? :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/02/2009 - 04:22 pm Title: 85 Battles
Oh god, this is bad! Not the chapter, that was great. *lol* Poor Buffy, hope she'll be ok. Please post more soon!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!

YIPES!!! This is potentially very bad...will be waiting on the edge of my seat for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you! An update should be coming soon!

Date: 07/02/2009 - 01:11 pm Title: 85 Battles
Excellent choreography and sharp detail made for a vivid, brutal fight. I was on the edge of my seat, unsure who would have the upper hand at the end. Giles' surprise arrival in the nick of time was a welcome relief, though I'm still anxious about Buffy's grievous injury.
Author's Response: Thank you for the compliments! The fight was actually very fun to write, and once I got going, it just, well, went. There should be another update soon!

Date: 07/02/2009 - 08:24 am Title: 85 Battles
wonderful update but evil cliffie..loved the giles to the rescue....
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Wow... Poor Buffy and poor Spike... I am glad that they've bested Angelus and Dru, but at what cost. I do wonder if there is hope for our girl medically or if perhaps only Spike can save her now. Please, update soon!
BTW... Loved the banter between Buffy and Dru...
“And I believe you’d break all my toys.”
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the chapter! And I'm working on the update. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/02/2009 - 01:19 am Title: 85 Battles
Argh!! What a cruel cliffhanger! Please don't leave us hanging for long!!!
Author's Response: I'm working on the update! :) Glad you liked the chapter!

Date: 07/02/2009 - 12:11 am Title: 85 Battles
oh God...oh God..Buffy....Buffy...Oh God no.
Incredible chapter. Baddies are dead but it may be at to high a cost.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/01/2009 - 11:30 pm Title: 85 Battles
Please don't wait so long to continue! PRETTY PLEASE?!!!
Author's Response: I'm working on the update! :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/01/2009 - 10:37 pm Title: 85 Battles
i see no 'warning: character death' message...so i'm guessing buffy will live. Hmm...maybe someone needs to be a blood donor or something...Spike has tons of her blood running through his system.
And ah man Giles, I wanted Spike to do the slaying. Oh well...long as it was done.
Can't wait for more...update sooon!!!!
Author's Response: Nope, no character death warnings... True that Spike didn't get to kill Drusilla, but it's the thought that counts, right? :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/01/2009 - 10:28 pm Title: 85 Battles
Oh my god!!!!!!! I can't believe you ended the chapter this way. That's just EVIL!!! Don't let her die like this. Spike would never survive it and neither would I.
Leave it to you to do a twisted parellel to Spike's death in season seven. She finally says I love you and it may be too late again.
I'm going to pray you didn't want us all to be crying in the next chapter. Even though it would be poetic and tragic. I'm going to try to have faith that there will be a very steamy, happy ending next chapter. Just don't break our hearts, PLEASE!!!! Are you planning to have another Slayer brought forth? Go ahead and do that but don't let her be dead long.
Loving this story is killing me. Hurry up and update.
Author's Response: Thank you! Buffy does have bad luck saying 'I love you,' doesn't she? Whether in canon or here... But I can say that things won't turn out too badly. But they won't be steamy, LOL--she was just injured! :) Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/01/2009 - 09:53 pm Title: 85 Battles
You ARE EVIL! We've been waiting for this battle for sooooo long!! And to leave us not knowing if Buffy will live?!
I hope you don't make us wait too long to find out. It's a fantastic story - please update soon.
Author's Response: I had to get at least one more evil cliffhanger in, LOL. But it shouldn't be too long before the next chapter is done. Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 07/01/2009 - 09:43 pm Title: 85 Battles
Ohmigosh! Nail-biting excitement all the way through! And what an evil cliffhanger! I can't imagine how Buffy's going to survive this, and I'll be on the edge of my seat until I find out. (But please don't turn her into a vamp! I have an antipathy to vampBuffy stories, and there was no warning to that effect on this one). I'm not averse to a good tragedy, though, although I really hope that this is not one. Update soon, please.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! No, there will be no vamp Buffy. And anything that there should be a warning for is warned for. *hint hint* :) I'm glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for reviewing!

Great chapter. The confrontation with Giles was perfect. I loved how Buffy went on a long tirade, and Spike's indifferent nonchalance was very entertaining. The beginning of the battle at the end of the chapter has me excited for more. Keep up the great work.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 06/29/2009 - 11:46 am Title: 84 Contentions
GAH! Oh my God, your mind is a wonderful and terrifying place!
I absolutely loved the interaction with the Scoobies and Giles, you write all of them so incredibly in character.
And now I'm left biting my nails.
*bounces* I love this story!!!
Author's Response: "Wonderful and terrifying," LOL. Is that a good thing? :) Thanks! And I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Date: 06/25/2009 - 02:03 am Title: 84 Contentions
Oh shit. Damn Dru and her annoyingly on-point visions! Not good.
Author's Response: Dru isn't helping, is she? :)

Date: 06/23/2009 - 11:09 am Title: 84 Contentions
The confrontation was a lot more civil that I would have expected. I like that this Buffy can really hold her own with Giles and the gang. She's capable of making decisions and speaking her mind. It's a nice change of pace.
Angelus going after Spike's protection is an unpleasant surprise, and it makes perfect sense. Angelus would be unstoppable if he got a hold of it. I can't wait to see how this all plays out.
Author's Response: Yeah, this Buffy is slightly more independent since she had a more or less normal teenage life. So she's a bit more self reliant. And Angelus would definitely want the gem... Thanks for reviewing!
