Ach, I wish you didn't have cause to have to do any more than just provide the warnings for people to read. You really shouldn't have to reiterate. For my part, I'm loving the scene setting and looking forward to the angsty journey. :)

First off - great idea! I'm really liking this so far. And luckily, i seem to have found this a bit after you've started it, so i don't even have to to wait for the nexr chapter! :D

Also, I noticed all the warnings- It's sad readers can tear at a writer like that. Personally, I don't see what the problem is with some. If their is no conflict (or angst) in a story, then what is the point of the story? You know?

So, my vote on angst isL the more, the merrier! :D

Well, if you work that hard, don't blame yourself for feeling writer apathy when you finally come back home ! Take your time, take care of yourself, or better, have someone take care of you. ..
I really enjoy following this story because as I really love a good fight, I'd like to see if sometime later, William will turn into Spike and come back to kick Liam's ass and make him shut his mouth, or if he'll do it with Buffy's help. Come on, someone has to teach that guy to behave ! It's hard to beat this kind of people in real life, so at least, let's read it ! And of course, I'd love to see the happy spuffy couple get together.
Well, this may not be a very original storyline, but then, I too work a lot and I'm feeling apathic...

Addie-
I don't know what the deal was with the flame wars, but I want to go on record as saying I LOVE your stuff. I look forward to reading all of your stories and love it when you have a new one. This story is looking great and a 4 year age difference isn't creepy at all, especially since Liam is obviously such a ponce. Keep writing!!!!

Sounds like Liam is a real piece of work, as is William's mother. Nice sparkage-- can't wait to see how this unfolds.

technicality from like a bilion marriages ago. please this is going to be much fun. Maybe Buffy will bring Willaim out of his shell...

Wow, your author's notes have gotten to be epic length. Amazing how other writers can bear criticism without all these warnings and you need paragraphs... Hm. Maybe that says something...

Basically I just find it hilarious how worked up you get and how indignant when someone says "boo" about anything you write. You really shoud just state, "praise only, please". It would really save space.

Author's Response: Your flaming me about author's notes? And trying to talk about something you know nothing about? Wow. How very sad. Go get a life now. Shoo.

sounds good already!!

The age difference doesn't bother me at all, nor does the heads up on the angst. I've never regretted getting sucked into any of your stories - the journey and the payoff are always worth any discomfort I might experience along the way.

This was a nice chapter to introduce the main players; as always, I'm looking forward to what you've got in store for us.

Top 10 list why someone is addicted to Addie's stories (I got two points so far but still collecting:
♦ To read angst even if one doesn't like it.
♦ To read Spike/other or Buffy/others even if one doesn't like it
... *check* Addicted :)
I'll try to be brave and behave myself too and try not to complain. *g* Though I may whine a bit about Buffy or Spike when I want to kick them when they are too stupid. Just ignore it. ;-)
When I heard your new story title I wondered why Spike would fall in love with his mother. Now I understand. ..
And I read your warnings.
Seems Buffy and Angel are together (married) for a month now. No wonder she doesn't know everything (like the names of Angel's ex-wives). Buffy was a Peppermint Stick dancer? Wonder if that what I mean it is. (*notes Liam's attitude not to want to be disturbed, not even by his wife* and the furious gaze... ~ and on the other hand, the current.) I wonder how many times Liam was married, three times maybe? Darla, Lilah and Eve.. seems so.
Ah well.. I trust you to write a happy spuffy ending.. so I think I can bear what is to come. The songs did point something out ... but I love it so far.

LOL! I know this will be an angsty fic (because I can darkly remember you said so in the beginning.. ;) ), but at the moment it's a lot of fun to read! I pray for Buffy that Will is going to pull her out of this fake, superficial world she's obviously living in.

I have to get used to the ages here, I think, especially the difference between Buffy and Spike, but I think I can handle it, because where I come from, it's quite a usual thing.. Can't wait to see how this will be going on. P.S.: I couldn't stand Liam Angelus at all from the first second onwards. *gg*

wow, this sounds like it's going to be a great story. I can't wait for the big angst you promised. lol, I'm one of those that loves it. lol, loved your A/N in the beginning. :) update soon!

I'm a little uncomfortable with him being only eighteen, so used to him being older then her but your one of my favorite author's so I'll get over it. I know that this will be as good as anything else you've written. Can't wait to read more. Will's had to grow up pretty fast I'm sure, so he's probably very mature for his age and in need of alot of love. Hope you can update soon. Kudos to your muse.
