Ahhhhh, there's the Spike I know. Doing the exact wrong thing.

You fixed it quick though so I'm guessing it's not the last big stupid thing he does.

Okay. So, I've been dying for the next chapter of this. I've been thinking about the whole wonderful story that you've created. Well, I ended up reading the entire 51 chapters all over again and just finished now. It was just as wonderful and heartwrenching as the first time. I hope you know what a masterpiece you've created. It's beautiful.

Author's Response: I'm so sorry about the delay between updates. I hope you enjoy the new chapter and thank you for reviewing this one. :D

God, that part gave me chills.
Absolutely gorgeous! It's been a while since the last post, so I just had to re read this chapter.
You have such a great talent for writing; this is amazing work.
Cant wait for another bit
*hint-hint*

Author's Response: Thank you so much! :-D

awww i loved this chapter:) you did an awesome job hehe i cant wait for the next update :) i hope its soon.....

Author's Response: Thank you! :-D

Oh God he waited around for a dew days hoping she would show and then swallowed his pride and went over anyway to see her only to find she went to Angel. I would go drinking too and then having Giles shove him off like a parasite from the door could not have helped either.

This part did it for me:
Her voice had a hysterical note that he mistook for scorn. It made him more vicious, and he said in a mocking tone, “So, I hear we’re expecting, love. When’s it due?”

Buffy shoved him away from her so hard that he stumbled backward and fell to the floor, almost taking several pieces of furniture with him. When he looked up at her, he could see that her bottom lip was quivering. There were tears in her eyes, and the sight of them cut into him like a blade across the heart.

I keep hearing this little voice in the back of my head saying she might be having a baby and then I got misty over the ring there by proving my full Spike fangirl side. It was cool how you had them softly drift back together at the end of this page. I am dying to see what you have happen next.

Author's Response: Well, I keep my plot secrets locked up tight, so it's wonderful to know that I'm keeping you guessing. Thank you! :-D

I dont know about Buffy but I love him and if given the chance I'd steal this boy right out from under her nose lol!
You have out done yourself this time such a beautiful heart clenching and knee knocking story I love it.
Please more soon it is hard to go without this love story.

Author's Response: Oh, I would definitely do the same thing. Canon Spike was such a beautifully romantic character. Obsessive in his love at times, but only because he had been hurt so often by the objects of his affection. I've been hoping to present him in a way that's realistic to the character, so it's wonderful to know that you're loving him just as much as I am. Thank you so much for letting me know!

I'm a little behind this week looking over Spuffy Realm for updates but my hear stopped when I read this. I love how you made it so with Spike being turned it would not have mattered yo him or changed him if Buffy aka Elizabeth had been there instead of Dru. I have so been waiting for the reappearance of his ring for her and to find out he hadn't hidden it away all those years but carried it on himself like he could not let it out of his sight in fear of anyone finding it. And too I loved your Spike voice over of him telling himself in his head she did and does love him its like he so desperately wants it to be true. Ok I am sniffling in my latte now and want to go back and read it again.


Author's Response: I've gotten *very* behind on answering reviews, so please forgive the lateness of my reply. As always, I love hearing your thoughts on the chapter. Everything you said was what I was hoping to convey, so I'm very pleased. I hope I can keep you just as interested in the future. Thank you for taking the time to review!

I loved how Spike went to Buffy's trying to be the man he was to win her. Fantastic and dramatic and very romantic and all the other words that end in a tic this fic has it all.

Author's Response: Thank you so much. It's wonderful to know you think so highly of something I've written. :-D

It's funny how they both fight to resist their first instinct in running to or comforting the other and then they both forget their fears and cant help but to cling to each other and want to fight for the love they once had.
I liked how Spike has a inner battle with himself just to even go to Buffy's door and also too how Dawn did in a small way try to shield Spike from Giles and want to spare him from hearing Buffy ran off to LA and then how when arguing with Spike how she repeats what Angel's version of how Spike was and is and Spike finally being able to defend himself and tell Buffy how things really were for him.

It was really nice to see a softness in Buffy and having her reach out to him and see he is still part of the man she grew to love. A little battle and torn and warn around the edges but still carrying William inside of himself.

I did break down a little when he pulled out the ring like he has carried it on himself everyday since his lose of her like after losing the book to Drusilla he never left this one remaining connection her had left of her out of his possession. That was simply perfection.

As always I love this story and as usual I am like the masses here and cannot wait till you write some more for me to read and sob over.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and very happy that you mentioned being affected by the ring -- that is one of my favorite parts, too.

Sooo sweet! Love the ending! All the struggle to suppress what she is really feeling is remarkably described in passionate detail. I hope Buffy now will open her heart to give Spike a chance.

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

Beautiful and so so so perfect.
I thought Dawn was more in fear of Spike running into Giles then any acual fear of him. I'm so excited where this story is going.
A++++

Author's Response: You're right. Dawn was trying to spare Spike from having to hear that Buffy had gone to Angel. Naturally, Giles had to show up and ruin it all, lol. Thanks for the review!

This has to be my all time favorite story for it touches the heart even if you were not a BTVS fan this stands up on its own.

Author's Response: ::blush:: It's wonderful to know that you feel that way about something I've written. Thank you so much.
