Dru... Despite everything we try, it seems we cannot change one's true fate. A sad night in an alley caused by a woman. A lovely turn of events. And how terribly moving his grief. An amazing chapter.

Author's Response: Fate is the perfect word for it. In fact, a word heavy with meaning, come Parts III and IV. Thanks for the review. :)

This. is. BRILLIANT. Perfection. I LOVE how you've brought it back to canon. Oh, goodness, it's wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us.

Such a bittersweet chapter to end William's life, he really had a death wish when Drusilla found him. Such a good way for Spike to know that Slayers harbour a death wish - he should know from his human past. I love the way you describe the surroundings, characters and emotions in this chapter. Looking forward to the next.

I have been following this story for over a year now (might be a lot longer actually). Can not even find the words to praise it, it is awesome - one of the best spuffy stories out there.I really enjoy the writing style - so well thoght out. Just a great story all around. Thank you for such a pleasurable read!

I really enjoyed this I hope you post more soon it's a cool story.

She was his! Now we just got to get her to be his again :) Great story it has so much going for it I am always excited to see when you add more to it. Please write more so I can hang on ever word again.

Author's Response: Don't worry, I should be updating later this week, if all goes well. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Ok, now, I can't wait to see what happened to Buffy and Spike when they first met... Poor William, So desperate, that he runs strait into Dru's arms (although it's a good thing, because it will allow him to see Buffya again.... in a long time!!!).

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it, Alex. Thanks for the review. :)

My friend got me into this and now I'm hooked. I want Elizabeth to go back to her place in time and for Spike to see her dressed as Elizabeth and realize it is her the girl from his past and their love together. Yes I'm a hopeless Spuffy romantic but I can't help myself. This is the best story ever

Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)

Woman!!! You can't just leave me hanging here gobsmacked!!! Or I'll be Spike -fledge first meal here you must come back and write more!!!!!

Where is Buffy???

I so need a time machine!


Author's Response: lol. I'm glad you liked it that much. Thanks for reviewing!

What a emotional rollar coaster! I'm tired just from reading it this had to be one killer chapter to write but I love you for it it was so good. Everything you put into this leading up to the part where Dru steps in was exactly how I hoped it would go without even knowing how it would go ---if that makes any sense. I'm am just giddy like it is sweeps week because of all the cool things that are gonna happen next and just to see what you have them do.
Sensational story here it had me at hello --- or first bite---or Williams first blush.

Author's Response: Although the chapter came to me easily (written in one sitting) it was difficult to do. I'll admit that afterward, I had to have a little cry over William. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for offering feedback.

Where do I begin? There is so much detail on every emotion William goes thru in this chapter I felt like I was pulled right along with him from his blinding happiness to rush home to her with his ring and flying into the house with a spring in his step to the complete devastation news of Anne telling him Elizabeth went missing. Just his utter confusion in trying to piece together what his Mother was telling him and in his gut he already knew. In the way you played it out it was like a darkness fell over him even before Drusilla or Angel had even got to him. I felt so terrible for Anne in having to tell her only child this news knowing he loved her.

And then with him trying to piece together what might have happened to her in a logical and reasoning sense knowing what they had shared and her love for him. It made perfect sense he'd go into shock and a little mad I mean for the first time William was really able to live and be loved and express himself fully to a woman who loved him whole heartedly. His blaming himself seemed the best natural reaction considering his background and insecurities and his anger was so much like the reaction of the monster / man he will become.

My favorite part in this was his realization that his life before Buffy was of a life of books and fantasies and once he had attained a life beyond his wildest dreams and found love he could not return to his old world of daydreams and stories and then he lost it. Because he had truly lost everything of meaning for him and could not go back to his former life when seeing what it really was like before her.

I was crying by the time I got to the part where he thought he had allowed her to die thinking that he himself had killed her. And Matthew was a easy target to vent all of his pain on although I felt so sorry for him already because I knew Matthew was going to blame himself. I thought for the first time here you saw William with his more Spike like nature that is to come.

This was a intense chapter to read I do not know where you draw your muse from but you have such talent in telling a story I hope the muse sticks with you your a phenomenal writer.








Author's Response: Thank you so much, Kalahara. What a nice thing to say about my writing. :) As always, you have a wonderful understanding of the characters that make your reviews a pleasure to read. I hope you continue to enjoy the story.

Oh thank God you added more I was worried it would be a while and oh gosh after reading about Will/Buffy being split up my heart bleeds for both of them. Please continue to torture me the reader with more of this soon :)

Author's Response: I will definitely try. ;) Thanks for reviewing!
