I can seenowwhy Spike would say she was his salvation because of losing Buffy dying was only real way he could find to live again. Not to say it's all blood and peaches cause he does have horrible things to overcome still and will but you did it so gead on in this and made it so compeling you want to see where the man and monster take you.

Please more when you can!!!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to tell me so. :) Oh...and I love that expression "blood and peaches."

“You’re a lovely one.”

Run William run! Yes I know your evil now too but she's the worst kinda rebound girl she's the undead rebound girl lol!

This was intense and good in seeing how it's like to wake up a amp one day and how he is fighting with his old self and new self.



Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it Record Breakers. I was afraid that people would be disappointed by the sudden shift in focus to William, but on the whole, I think the response has been very good. Thanks for the review! :)

It was so heart breaking to watch William imagining and wish Dru was someone else I wonder if in time with her insights she will pick up on his wanting of someone else or if her crazy just makes her over look it. Gripping story here it always leaves me wanting more and more of it.
Love your work :)

Poor William and his confusion of being newly risen and mistaking Dru's touches for Elizabeth's and not being clear headed enough to notice all the changes going on in himself and he's just being pulled by his demon now and then feeling absolute disgust with himself with what he is doing in his despair. Please add more when you can it's so good!

If he thinks he's disgusted now and feeling low wait till he meets Angel. It's always had to read of the changing of William because you have grown to love him and then you love 100 years from now Spike but it's the painful parts of inbetween reading of what made him into the man he was and will be in becoming a creature of the night. Really your doing a great job with this I'm always excited to see when you've added a little bit more to it.

Author's Response: I'm glad you feel that way, Tears of the Moon. And I think you have a wonderful understanding of why I'm writing the story this way. Thank you for reviewing!

I for one, have to say that I am pleased with the direction that your story has taken. As much as I enjoyed your characterization of William (who was, as so many will agree, so sweet), William is not Spike, nor will he be for many years. William was still meek and mild, and could only muster the courage to defend Buffy and not himself. He allowed himself to be ruled by love for Buffy, catering to her whims, and if we know anything about Buffy, Buffy doesn't need a man who will cater to her. She needs someone who will stand up to her and be her honest partner. Our heroine is headstrong and stubborn, and, in all honesty, she needs someone to keep her in check in a way. I see this glimpse into William as Buffy's chance to see beyond the vampire, and to realize that this persona still resides in Spike, and that the mix of caring gentleman and confident (some would say cocky) warrior is her ideal match.

So I applaud your decision to continue down the path you have chosen, and I ask for other readers who turn squeamish at the though of truly "evil" Spike to remember why you first fell in love with Spike yourself. Was it because he was fumbling and caring and polite? No. It first was because he was strong and cunning and snarky (and that he had a hot bod, let's be honest); the other bits that came later only endeared him to us further. Now think about what must have happened to make him that way and you'll find that's what we are being given to the privilege to view through this fic: the transformation. Because while William was sweet, there is no way that he was "sex on legs" or a cunning warrior. And in all honesty, where would the fun be if Spike never developed and we never got to hear he and Buffy throw sarcastic barbs at one another? Their relationship has always been based on the tension between them, and it would be a shame if that was gone.

Sorry for the ridiculously long review, but I am an appreciative fan of this story and happy for the author's ability to create a great work, instead of a just another fluffy fantasy of guilty pleasure (though those always do have a place in my heart as well). ;)

Author's Response: What a wonderful, insightful review, moonchic. I really appreciate your willingness to comment on specific details of the story and offer your own opinions of them. And you're right, William is not Spike, not yet. His metamorphasis into the "Slayer of Slayers" did not come about overnight. I was always intrigued by the scenes in "Lies My Parents Told Me" where William returned to his mother. It was so obvious from those scenes that he was still fundamentally the same person. I was curious to know what changed him, so I decided to write about it. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story, and thank you for reviewing!

I thought your portrayal of Dru was right on the mark in this. Some writers hate trying to write out Dru and tend to over do it on her crazy or only stick to her lines from episodes but I thought you played her well.

Author's Response: Dru had quite a few lucid moments, as I recall. She just had a knack for making herself look like a basket case even when she wasn't behaving like one. For myself, writing Dru is fun, because she has such an unusual take on language and description. And I was always intrigued by the character, anyway. I'm glad you like the way I wrote her, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story in the future. As always, thanks for reviewing. :)

Your story is great.!!!
I was a bit disappointed in the beginning , that we weren´t going to see anything about Buffy in part two. But it´s true, you did write that the story would be of a novel length and what it would involve. So even though I´m the impatient kind of person, I understand completely your point of view. And something very important for the ones who hate the relationship between Dru and Spike. The only way he is going to appreciate what he had with Buffy and what he can have with her in the future when he meets her again is to experience what he´s going to go through with Dru, Angelus and Darla. They were the ones who made him "Spike" after all. So please update soon. Can´t wait to see where you´re going to take this fic.

Author's Response: That is exactly how I feel about the Spike/Dru relationship as well, akarinacj. Spike can't become Spike without Drusilla, and, because we *need* this glimpse into his past to understand him in the future, Dru is a necessary evil. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me so! :)

Ahhh, the making of Spike... can't say I love it, but it's necessary in order to have him live until Buffy's time. Very graphic, but nicely done. Can't say I am looking forward to the "William meets Angelus" part though...

Author's Response: I'm sorry you aren't enjoying the metamorphosis of William into a vampire, but it really is necessary to the plot. Maybe you'll learn to enjoy it? lol. Anyway, I appreciate your willingness to stick with it. Thanks for the review. :)

I don't have any brilliant insights or anything at this point :), but just wanted to let you know how excited I was that you updated and how I'm really enjoying the story. I know this part is probably hard to read for a lot of people (and maybe for you to write), but it's absolutely essential and it's amazing to see William's journey to becoming Spike. Without this part, we wouldn't be able to really understand all the layers of the future Elizabeth/William reunion.

Author's Response: I'm glad you feel that way, Anne, because that is exactly how I felt when I began writing it. I love William; I don't want him to be unhappy. But to be honest, he can't become Spike unless he goes through this uncomfortable process. And, as you said, we wouldn't be able to really understand him if we weren't there to see the transformation take place. Thanks so much for reviewing!
