Oh no. At least we know buffy can handle herself.
Author's Response: Yeah, she couldn't beat the Order, but at least she could escape them. :)

I wonder what William thought about, what he has to confess. Oh things don't go well for Buffy when she had to stay behind. She never saw before how different she and William are, their background. And now she is going slaying again? Does she intend to kill Dru to avoiding William's turning? *reads on*
Author's Response: No, Buffy, unfortunately, was judging him by modern standards. Victorians, of course, handled sex much differently. ;)
Thanks for reading!

Your William is so lovely. He's taken the incident and turned it into a wrong he's done. I loved his anguished musings on the train, especially this: "To say it was a mistake or an accident was dishonest; he knew that. And much as he would like to, he could not shy away from the reality that he must have been somehow terrible to her to make her believe she must service him in that way." This chapter flowed beautifully, although it hurts to have them both in such pain.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. :)

There goes that not talking thing reaking havoc with their lives. I hope he returns soon. I don't imagine the staff is quite prepared for an irritated Buffy.
Author's Response: You're right, BuffyRat. The biggest problem between them is the lack of communication. William, especially, has never learned to really open up to other people. And he is so afraid of losing Buffy, it makes him that much more reticent.
Thank you for continuing to read and review. :)

ERRR GOD DAMNIT WAT IS WRONG WITH WILLIAM!!!! how can he think that she would act that way becuase she felt obligated to, she loves him and he loves her, its wasnt wrong. i love this story so much and am happy u updated. i cant believe he left and he wont write to her. i really hope that he comes home soon and that he and buffy talk. also i hope that eveyrthing works out well and that dru doesnt find him and turn him. please update as soon as u can, i cant wait to read more. thanx
Author's Response: lol. Don't be too harsh on William. In the Victorian era it was thought that women were supposed to be sexless creatures--reluctant even to enter into relations with their own husbands. So, for William, it would be almost impossible to believe that she would willingly do it for no other reason than that she wanted to.
As always, thanks so much for your review. I am so glad you like the story. :)

Poor Buffy! Looking forward to the next chapter....

Unique in it's telling this story has it all for any SpikeBuffy fan. If your looking for a story that has everything and true romance then go no further this has it all Unbridled Brunette delivers.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, HazardoftheHeart. I'm so flattered you feel that way about my story. :)

This was so good because you get to see both of their feeling and how they get along without the other around I think this time apart will be a good thing in the long run for them both. If Buffy does alter time in the past I say go for it because if she helps him unleash some of his passion as William it may change the Spike in the future and all I can say is hot damn to when Buffy and Spike hook back up in the future for it will be explosive.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, SpikesDeb. I appreciate your taking the time to review. Feedback means everything to me. :)
Date: 01/25/2007 - 09:30 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
Love it, more please.
I feel sorry for BUffy in the fact that William would not acknowledge her.
Author's Response: More is coming soon. Thanks as always for reading and reviewing. :)
Date: 01/25/2007 - 06:56 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
Wonderful writing and I'm looking forward to when Buffy jumps in time again and how she reacts and if Spike will have the same memories as her or if she changed his history.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I'm glad you like it. :)

Poor William he feels he has disgraced Elizabeth or made her think she had to do that in order to please him. And poor Elizabeth as well feels like she has molested him and they are both off alone in pain. Anne cant seem to figure out what is wrong other then they must have had a row or that Elizabeth has upset William in some way. I had a lot of questions while reading this like What is Will feeling guilty over? What were the rumors Matthew was talking about going on before Elizabeth got there? Argh! It's soooooooooooooooooooo Tune In Tomorrow for the next episode of Forward to the Past.....
LOL and yet I love it!
Author's Response: lmao. I never thought about that...but it has become rather like a soap opera, hasn't it? But it's a good soap opera? Right? ;)
Thanks so much for continuing to read and review. :)

Amazing stuff. You really have a talent for evoking the atmosphere of the story. I do wonder whether what Buffy was reading is an actual handbook from the Victorian age?
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm so glad you like the story. :)
Date: 01/25/2007 - 04:31 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
In a lot of ways they really do not know a whole lot about each other they just kinda fell in love fist and didn't get all the background details. Maybe now that they have had this hurdle he can tell her what he is hiding and Buffy can tell him she's not from this time.
Oooooo! I just itching for more please add more when you can.
Author's Response: There is a lot of dishonesty between them. For Buffy, she is afraid he simply will not believe him and she doesn't want to burden him with doubts about her sanity. For William....well...it's something else altogether.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)
Date: 01/25/2007 - 04:23 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
Oh no Buffy! I feel so bad for her she feels he's turned his back on her and shut her out when really he just does not want to face his feelings and something he has done. I hope he comes back before she is sucked back into her own time I mean if he did come home and she was gone I think it destroy him and lead him right into Dru's clutches cause he would just not care to live anymore.
Author's Response: They are so different that misunderstandings are going to be inevitable. And you're right, if she gets sent back now it will destroy him. Whether or not that will happen....you'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks for taking the time to review! :)

God this is gut wrenching stuff. This is so brilliant. Now William's all "bad and moody" and Buffy sounds like she's gone off slaying. Please please please update really soon and bring William home.
Author's Response: There will be an update soon, I promise. I'm so glad to hear you are looking forward to one. And thank you for taking the time to review. :)
Date: 01/25/2007 - 03:47 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
Such heartbreak and guilt on both of their parts it's so sad to see. And what is this other thing eating at William? And "My best wishes to Miss Summers"? She is so gonna kill that boy where he does come home lol!
Now I feel all moody looking out a window myself waiting till the next new chapter lol !
Author's Response: She definitely will not be happy with him, that's for sure. But Buffy has a lot of guilt and self-blame as well. You'll just have to be patient to see how it pans out. ;)
Thanks so much for taking the time to review!

TELL HER WHAT WILLIAM!!!
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RELL HER???
AHHHHHHH!!! MORE!!!!
Author's Response: Ah, I love enthusiasm. ;)
Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review. More soon, I promise. :)

Awww poor William he thinks he's forced Elizabeth into being some sort of harlot into his home and he just can't perceive a woman wanting to be close to him without being guilted into it out a sense of owing him. And you see him fight with himself over his own reactions to wanting her and thinking terribly of himself for doing so. I hope in time he will see it not disgusting for him to have thoughts of Elizabeth. Loving this!!!

Started this this morning over breakfast and a hour and a half later I'm blown away this is too cool of a read and it is different then most stories I come across and in the telling of pre-Spike and his life. by the last page posted here my heart was crying out for both of them. I recommend this story to anyone looking for a true romantic adventure.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, iinga. I hope you continue to enjoy the story in the future. :)

Sure my friend gets me started on this fic and now I am addicted to it. With him away I think Dru will show up or hurt the Mom I feel like she is watching the house or something cause Dru is always the unknown wacky to show up with evil when you least expect it.
Author's Response: Addiction is the best form of flattery, thank you! :)
Date: 01/25/2007 - 03:21 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
Wow and just wow is all I can say pretty pretty please add more soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Soon, I promise. :)
Thanks for reviewing.
Date: 01/25/2007 - 03:20 pm Title: Chapter Eighteen
This is really pretty and has a lot of thought and drama put into it. I cannot wait till they have to come face to face again. Knowing Buffy there will be a punched nose or a sign of temper. Cant wait to see more!!!!
Author's Response: Thanks so much. :) I appreciate your taking the time to review.

LMAO to Matthew and his braclet line. I think it's fun Buffy and Matthew have these little chit chats he's like the Xander of the times. This is a sad update but it needs to happen to get to the next best part in the story.I really love reading this its a favorite of mine.
Author's Response: Matthew is such a fun character to write; I'm glad you like him. :)
Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review.

William is sinking in guilt and Elizabeth is in the depths of despair. I felt so bad for her at the table with Ann you could tell she was barely holding it together. And he didn't even leave her a note and knowing Buffy's issues this will send her on a downward spiral cause she does not take rejection well. And there is not much else she can do given the times then stare out the window and wait for his return I just hope he doesn't stay longer then a month away because Buffy will get stir crazy in that house and start thinking the worst about herself, well she already is but now mixed with the Slayer dreams she will think he's off on the farm being turned by Dru or worse.
This is such a great story I love it more as it goes on.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Kalahara. I always look forward to your reviews because of the detail you add. I'm so glad you continue to enjoy the story. :)

Author's Response: We'll see. ;)
