Nice surprise ending - enjoyed this very much.
Author's Response: I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Great Chapter - Like this story very much.
Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted to explore what might have happened if Buffy had been just a little more thoughtful and empathetic when Spike came for help.

Still love this one so much. Dialogue so beautiful, the analysis of Spike and Buffy is so right on. Doesn't grow old.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! It’s such a wonderful compliment to be told that one’s stories can be enjoyed even on a second reading!

Such a lovely story. Nice to see Buffy lose the fear and shame and stick up for herself and Spike for once...
Author's Response: This story was all about what might happen if Buffy had just been a tad more introspective when Spike came to her for help. I wanted her to see him and stick up for their relationship for once. I’m so glad you liked it!

Spike's speech(es) here about the enjoying the moment and his feelings are just lovely...
Author's Response: Spike never spoils the present joy by thinking about past or future. He’s totally committed to whatever he’s doing at the moment, whether it’s fighting or loving. It’s what makes him such a wonderful lover - he’s not thinking about past guilts or future worries, he’s totally focused on the woman in his arms.

This chapter is so bloody hot... sexy Spike, yet so tender. ::swoon::
Author's Response: That’s what we all love about Spike - that he can be both sexy and tender. :)

Another AMAZING story by you. I'm gonna go read all of yours now, this is AMAZING, SPUFFY all the way, and that fight, wow you must've researched just a bit about it. Can't wait to read more of your stuff.

Author's Response: Thank you! My guy's into martial arts and he demonstrated what was possible.

That was lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Sorry for not reviewing after each chapter, but I read it straight through. I adore Spuffy stories that start off in Season 4 (or 3, or 2, ...) and this one is a great addition to their ranks. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm delighted you liked it so much that you read it straight through! I like the early seasons too and I'll be doing more once my present Season 6 WIP is done.

One night my ass, but if it is, glad they're enjoying it. I am too, just time for bed now. More tomorrow.
Author's Response: Well, you know how addictive Spike is!

Date: 05/11/2008 - 12:10 am Title: Chapter 2
Love Spike's elation, and the sexual tension. More to come from that indeed.
Author's Response: I couldn't see Spike just going tamely back home, as in 'Doomed.' He'd go paint the town red!

Love Joyce housing the undead English patient. And Buffy's elaborate introspection. Very nice.
Author's Response: I wanted to explore what could happen if Buffy really started thinking! Thank you!

OH I loved it, would love to see where this is going.
Author's Response: I hadn't thought of a sequel, but I might look into it once I get the two WIPs I'm working on finished. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!

I wonderwhat Xander willsay
Author's Response: I never could understand why Buffy's such a wimp when it comes to her friends - expecialy Xander and his bigoted opinions!

Date: 05/08/2008 - 08:18 pm Title: Chapter 3
I hope it is more then one night.
Author's Response: Could be - Spike's addictive!

Date: 05/07/2008 - 10:16 am Title: Chapter 2
Oh I loved it.
Author's Response: Thank you!

God i have such a fancrush on you! Your stories are amazing, and so damn believable i find myself crying "Why oh why were you such a cruel bastard Joss?!"
Oh well this story and others (Included Her Way and Changes) made up for 7 horrible seasons- 2 in particular i'd prefer to forget!
I really hope to see more stories like this that take place in earlier seasons cause you are one of the few authors that does it well! Cheers!
Author's Response: Whoa! Thank you so very much! I just love these two characters so much, I have to keep writing stories about the way I wanted things to go for them. The next one is set in Season 6, with Buffy reacting better after being resurrected, but then there'll be another Season 4. I'm delighted you like my work!

Awwwww! Now there's a happy ending! Great revenge on Angel. And Spike is finally loved!
Author's Response: Really love rubbing Angel's nose in it! I'm so glad you liked it!

Just started this on a whim and am completely enchanted by it. I love the reflective tone of this. Buffy's insight is fun and true and real. Even though this is not the way she acted in the show, you've done a great job of showing how close she was to being this Buffy. A little more introspection, a couple of different choices...
You're also doing a great job with Spike. Nice balance showing how strong he is for willing to be subjugated to love.
Awesome job!
Author's Response: Thank you! The whole story came about because I was wondering how things might have changed if college had taught Buffy to think. And I've always thought that to love that deeply came from strength rather than weakness. I'm just delighted you liked it.

I was so happy when I saw that you had posted a new story! And became even happier when I saw that the all chapters would be up so quick.
It was an really great story :) Not my favourite of yours, but still absolutely great. I liked how B stood up for herself against her friends, and that S kicked Angels' ass. A tip for the future is to not use the same sentences and such. I recognized a couple from your old stories. Dunno about you, but I don't like that kind of thing, it's like one can't come up with something new ;) And I know you can!
I hope to read more of you soon! Thanks for sharing this wonderful story.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! I try not to use the same sentences. The trouble is that one thinks one's found the perfect words for something, then realize one has to find different perfect words when the same situation repeats and that's hard to do.

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A execellent and well written story. Looking forward to whatever you write next.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Working hard on the next.
