Wow, I should do that more often: HURRY WITH THE UPDATE!!! LOL! Great chap!
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm trying to finish AMOM and submit the next chapter of Redemption by tonight or Monday.
I like to finish a couple of WIP's before I throw myself into the next one.
It's just that I wanted to have Buffy 'notice' Spike and get that out of the way.
Thanks again,

good update
Author's Response: Thank you.
Spike and Buffy will have a rocky road ahead of them. But, it wouldn't be 'true' love if it wasn't right?

I really like were the story is going but I would try to tone it down on the 'My Tara' and 'My Willow'
I would just have Tara say 'Willow' and vise versa
Author's Response: Thank you. Yes, I'm glad you pointed that out about the 'my' stuff. I had a feeling I should leave that out.
Thank you again,

Well I'll be damned...an all-human AU where the characters of Buffy & Spike are fresh and new, yet recognisable in having maintained the core qualities that defined their characters on BTVS! Fabulously done. I always felt that the Buffy persona was most eloquently described by the First Slayer in 'Intervention' when she told her 'You are full of love'. If only Buffy could have learned to love herself (in an existential as opposed to self-absorbed way) sooner *sigh* Oh well. And it was always Spike's rabid defense of his ever-hopeful but sensitive heart by means of the bitter and jaded facade he showed to the world that made you just wanna pinch his cheeks (oh those cheeks) and give him a great big hug...or is it just me? Anyway, while it's early days yet I can tell I'll follow your progress on this piece with eager anticipation. Keepi it up!
Author's Response: Thank you!
I really was hoping to show these two characters' inner personalities.
The hard thing about Buffy is that she was so 'young' and loving, but her destiny jaded her and caused her to hide her true self.
Same with Spike, really. William loved beauty and creating it, therefore when he became Spike, he hid that more sensitive side. Hid it, notice I say because I never felt that William ever truly died inside of Spike.
Thanks again,

Another great chapter! I can't wait to see how the meet goes tomorrow. Awesome job!
Author's Response: Thanks. I can't promise a fairy-tale meeting, but it might be kind of fun!

Awe - loved the 'first glance' because it isn't a meeting yet. And Spike is falling quickly indeed. Looking forward to the meeting in the bistro!
Author's Response: I kind of felt that Tara would be sensitive to Buffy's needs in this. To have the couple meet on her turf made sense to me.
Thanks,

How sneaky is Tara! haha : ) Looking forward to how the first interaction goes between Buffy and Spike..Great work, and thanks for the update!
Author's Response: Tara was always the one I felt would have backed Spuffy from the start. She was so non-judgemental and full of gentle kindness.
Thank you,

How cute is he? lol. He's adorable. So is Buffy for that matter. I'd probably do the same thing if some hot, but strange man started waving at me while waving to my friend. Can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Cute, that's true!
I like a bit of a boy in the man!
Thanks,
