Awesome chapter. That Spike and Angel scene... Shivers.

And so it has happened. Angelus has a soul and Spike can see how little it matters. Or, not that it doesn't matter, but that soul or not he always had a choice. So very wise our Spike, even with the memory of Elizabeth haunting him. Ever closer to their reunion we get, always waiting for that moment. Amazing story.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you! :-)

You did an excellent job weaving canon into this, fleshing out the details of the Gypsy encampment and how Spike and Dru happened to be nearby. Making Spike's massacre of the Gypsy's wife and children an act of malice works much better for this Spike than canon's idiot mistaken massacre. Spike's confrontation with Angelus was emotionally satisfying, and getting a bit of his own back felt right for the character. I also like how Spike turned the event to reflect on his own choices since becoming a vampire.

We're still nearly a century removed from Buffy's calling, but I'm enjoying Spike's evolution so much I don't mind a bit. I somehow missed this chapter when it was posted, so I have another one to get to right away. Lucky me!

Thanks for another wonderful read.

Nice chapter, but when will Buffy come back into this? I love the detail and all, but it's getting a little.... dry, I guess. I don't want to say boring, but half the tme I just skim through the chapters because I'm not an Angelus fan, nor a Darla and Drusilla fan. Anyways, great update.

Author's Response: Well ... as sorry as I am to hear that you find this part of the story dry, I am not planning to veer off my intended plotline. Buffy will reappear in Part III and not until then ... and her return will not necessarily herald an immediate happily-ever-after Spuffiness. If you want that kind of instant gratification, I'm very sorry, but I think you picked the wrong fic. Thank you for your review.

It's the complete dichotomy of Spike's character in these early years as a vampire that prepare us for the Spike that bursts upon Sunnydale at the end of the twentieth century. He lies on the floor of a forest and thinks of Buffy; warm, fuzzy thoughts of sexual pleasure - giving - of her light and beauty and all he wants to do is please her ("It was lovely") - and then he quite deliberately murders a family so that Angelus will not have his soul revoked. There is no meeting of the two halves at this point, for his softness, his reminiscence of his love for a girl called Buffy are kept hidden from his Drusilla, and even kept hidden from his diay-to-day consciousness and bloody actions. It is only later that Spike's vestige of humanity is revealed and ultimately made stronger when he meets up with the Slayer known as Buffy.

The exchange between the soulful Angel and the now dominant, vengeful Spike, is wicked and compelling.

Great chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad you continue to enjoy it. :)

Author's Response: Buffy will be back in Part III ... which, incidentally, is only a couple of chapters away.

no offense, but i really hope that buffy comes into play sometime soon. i'm a little tired of the scourages of europe, maybe now that angelus has his soul we can speed things up just a little bit?

Author's Response: As I wrote in the author's note at the beginning of Part II ... I will not veer off of my intended plotline. I don't believe in "speeding things up" at the expense of the plot, just so that people can get their spuffy fix more quickly. Buffy will reappear in Part III and not before then. It isn't too much longer a wait, since we only have a couple of more chapters in this part ... Although I have to admit, hearing people constantly telling me to skip ahead because they're bored is really becoming depressing.

Oh time jump. ~ So Spike memory of Buffy is fading. I wonder if that will lead to not recognizing Buffy when she sees her again. Well another step is done, Angelus has his soul now. But still some years between. More slayers to hunt again? We'll see.

I was so excited when I saw you had updated that I've read it twice and this is descriptive storytelling at its best. I assume that Spike killed the bearded man's family so that Darla couldn't bargain them for Angel(us)'s soul and I loved the fact that Spike knows (and tells Angel(us)) that they ultimately have a choice about killing. When he is thinking of Elizabeth he knows he doesn't want to kill her, he would choose not to. On a slightly lighter note, the line "he had already eaten a woodcutter...." made me laugh out loud. I love this story.

Author's Response: lol. I think you're the first person to mention the woodcutter line, Sam. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it. :) Thank you so much for the review!

Not sure how I missed so many updates ... I am also sorry that I have not reviewed in awhile.

The making of Spike ... love your story ... absolutely love it ! Spike was always so much more ... so much more "everything" than Angelus and Angel and you really showed this here. He holds himself accountable for all that he has done and he embraces all that he is.

Author's Response: Bad you for missing updates! ;) Well, it's great to see you back now. And thanks so much for taking the time to review. I'm glad you liked the chapter. :)

Oh wow! It seems I am very behind on this story with summer being here I was like 4 chapters behind. So much to say but still this story is my favorite and I loved the conversation of Spike and Angel and him trying to blame his actions on bloodlust or anything else but himself and Spike not letting him do that. He made him see himself for what he really is.

Wonderful as always!!!

Great Chaperter!!!

Since so far we are only into the story as far as 1898, I can tell it will be quite a journey to go before we see Spike catching up to Buffy in the future. It will be a most interesting journey, I'm sure though!!!

Can't wait to see everything that happens until we see Buffy in the futur and especially can't wait to see what happens and his reaction when he does see Buffy again in the future!!!!

I hope you'll be able to update this again very very soon.

Author's Response: Glad you thought so. Since, in my story, Spike and Angelus aren't exactly the best of pals, I don't think the House of Pain would have made a lot of sense. I might well have to explore that in a different story, though. I love early Spike and Angelus. Thanks for the review. :)
