Oh no poor Tara! And oh how painful is it for Buffy and Spike to see each other all the time? I remember what that's like. Ick. =(

Great chapters - what with me still being on a vacation with my parents, who think I spend too much time reading fanfics, and are thus trying to only allow me the least bit of time possible for checking for updates, so I just read the last one and this one all at once, finally, lol! Can't wait for more, as soon as you're able to update! Take care, C ; )
Author's Response: lol gotta love parents...and I'm having a slight case of writer's block, but I should be able to update sometime soon...thanks for the review =D

Well I wsn't expecting the whole Tara's grandmother thing, how sad. Buffy needs to get over herself for real. Great chapter, can't wait to see if Spike gets his girl back. Kuddos!
Author's Response: Yeah, she does...but then, she is a teenage girl =D thanks for reviewing!

This story started out really great, but I think the last few chapters (with the break up) sound contrived. C'mon, is Buffy going to avoid relationships forever because of her parents? In the beginning, she really didn't care about the fighting and whatnot. I mean, they have done that her whole life. So why is it a big deal now and why would she let them "win" and keep her from having her own successful relationship. Eh, not sure where you're going with this.
Author's Response: well...seh's not going to avoid relationships *forever*. But that's the way teenagers think. She *was* really screwed up in the beginning, she just wasn't showing it as much, and now that her parents' fighting is worse than ever and her dad was such a jerk, her feelings regarding relationships have gone downhill. And it may seem stupid, but a lot of people really do have the problem I'm describing, especially teens. They're in charge of our lives, so seeing them screw up can be particularly scary. And because Buffy was LIttle Miss Popular, she never really witnessed a real, healthy relationship (high school upper crusts aren't known for them)...and she's worried hers will end up like the only "real" relationship she's ever seen firsthand: her parents'. I'm sorry if it sounded contrived; that's my fault as an author =/ Thanks for the input.

I liked dark, possessive Spike. I hope Buffy doesn't use his menacing behavior against him. Tara's grandmother's death is going to have the gang rallying in support. That should take some pressure off the Spike and Buffy angstathon.
Author's Response: She won't...cuz I like him too and in this story, she reacts how I want her to =D There'll be a bit of relief, but mostly just sadness...I'm still keeping the focus on B/S, because although Tara's grandmother's death is tragic, Buffy didn't know her all that well, and it was one of those things that everyone knew was coming...not that it doesn't matter! Because I would never kill off anyone's grandmother just for kicks! *is now rambling* Oops...thanks for the review!

Oh Buffy is a idiot....sweet but idiot.......Spike well he needs to chain her up and make her see her silly thinking.....Oh poor Tara......my heart goes out to her and those like her who've lost family......and GO Faith, maybe she should lock them both up somewhere and never let them out until they are of the kissage Spuffy again.....yep......
Author's Response: LOL re the Faith thing =D yes Tara's problem is very sad...I figured I wasn't depressing you guys quite enough *g*...and yeah, Buffy's an idiot...oooh, chains. I'll think about it =D thanks for the review!

Buffy sucks. I mean I know she's afraid of she and Spike turning into her parents but come on! Is she just going to avoid relationships forever! Not sure what she's thinking with the whole "remember mom and dad" mantra.
Author's Response: well...no, she's probably not going to avoid them forever...but she *is* a teenager, and I know from experience that they sometimes think this way.
Date: 07/21/2005 - 01:32 pm Title: So Far Away
more soon plz its great!
Author's Response: thanks =D
Date: 07/21/2005 - 12:04 pm Title: So Far Away
Love the bit about her conscience sounding like Faith...and totally loved when Spike followed her to give her the hall pass and he told her next time he wouldn't let her go. I love it when he's like that! :) More, now. Please? :)
Author's Response: lol glad you liked that part =D I thought it was a step up (or down, or maybe sideways?) from Cordy...and glad you liked the Spike thing, too =D thanks bunches for reviewing again!

It's fine.
I liked it alot and I'm glad you're making the
pain shortish.
Also, I 'love' the fact that Spike is being
so tough and stubborn about Buffy.
Now, this is the Spike I know and love,
not the one JW suddenly created in Season
5 of ATS.
I have a gripe about that, and I'm going to vent it.
No way in the hell would Spike ever have 'not' ran
after Buffy in Rome. I'm sorry, but that was so
out of character for Spike not to track her down and
force her to 'see' him.
That was an Angel trait, to stay away from Buffy for
her own good. And I never bought the old 'Spike's not selfish anymore crap!'
Okay, there, I vented. Anyway, good for you to write Spike
the way he should have been!
spuf
Author's Response: augh I completely agree...about AtS S5, I mean. I guess he could've changed, but "Get it Done" Spike (NORMAL post-soul Spike, in other words) would've gone after her!! glad you liked the way I wrote him =D
Date: 07/21/2005 - 11:01 am Title: So Far Away
Poor Tara. And I'm grateful for the shortness of the angst. Hopefully Spike and Buffy will be able to get it together for Tara's sake.
Author's Response: yeah they're working on it...thanks for the review!
