You are doing such a great job with the characters and their voices, but man is this bleak.
I cannot believe Spike hasn't done something idiotic yet. I hope you are not doing the thing where Spike can do no wrong, fanfic usually looks at Spike through rose colored glasses and I hope you don't. I have faith in you though, you are going to pull this together. I really hope I can keep going long enough to enjoy it. Again, bleak.

“I don’t think it is a sad place. It’s beautiful.”
“What is?”
“The idea that love can transcend death.”


Well doesn't that just sum them up, even if Giles is being an ass about things. I can only imagine his anger pushing them closer together, talk of destiny. A lovely idea.

Magnificent fic I am dying to see what comes next!

Author's Response: Thank you! :)

Oh! More please!!! More!!!! I loved the ending with them alone and talking together.

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

I absolutely love this fanfic! Please post more soon...I'm dying to read more. This is a wonderful and portrays so many emotions. Originally I was hesitant to read such a long fic, but your work is truly amazing. Thanks for writing!

Author's Response: Thank you for reading it. I'm sorry there was such a delay in updating. I hope you'll still be following the story, and thank you so much for the review. :)

I adore this story. It is so romantic. Can't wait for the next installment.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it. :-D

HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THIS FIC! I'm afraid though...No matter how much I love Buffy and William I hope that soon she will except Spike as he is. I love William but ultimately I want Buffy to love Spike as a man and not as a killer...I want her to realize that William and Spike are one in the same.

I realize that WIliam was the man and Spike became a killer but he is the same person. I just really want Spike and Buffy to be together in the end and by loving William she can come to love Spike because she saw who he once was and who, in a way, still is.

Anyway...AMAZING FIC! I can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it. :-D

Why do they fight it?

Gir l loves dead boy dead boy loves girl come on kids it will all work out.

I loved this fic it gets better with every new page

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying all the conflict in their complicated romance. :-D

Oh no she ran away and he is capable of tenderness with her just as much as she is with him no wonder he had explosive rage and took it out on the first thing that came along. I pretty much thought she would run off I'm not sure I'd call what she did using him or not but I cannot wait to see what comes next!

Author's Response: I don't think she really meant to use him. It was more a case of getting caught up in the moment ... once he touched her, she just fell apart and allowed herself to indulge in a fantasy. That doesn't make it any easier on him, of course. But at least it means she isn't a bad person. I'm glad you feel that, too. Thank you so much for taking the time to review. :-D

pleeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeeee add more soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: lol. As soon as I can, I promise. Thanks. :-D

They need to change the recommend this story form Liked to Disliked to Loved and Writers Guild Award Worthy!

I LoVe ThIs!!!!

Author's Response: Writer's Guild Award worthy? That is just wonderful of you to say. Thank you! :-D

Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire I cannot resist this story. It is better then watching the old shows I think Joss should give you a call to do a movie. Tara was so moving in her trying to be understanding I just loved your version of her but the real capper for me on this was the flashback part and you just feel Buffys lose of William. I keep cheering for Spike to just hold on and to wait for Buffy to acept her feelings for him when she just lets go.

Author's Response: Thank you very much for the kind review! It's flattering to know that you think so highly of my work. I'm glad that you say you feel for Buffy's loss. I know that a lot of readers are angry with her right now, and I completely understand why they would be. But she really isn't trying to hurt Spike. It's just difficult for her to admit that William was capable of becoming the killer that Spike once was. You're right, Spike just needs to hang on until she is able to accept it and move on.
