I have been reduced to a puddle of Spike and Buffy love.
I'm gonna have to go back and read the page 30 more times today from just how great this is.
More please after the holidays :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

By the end of this page I needed a box of tissues and a box of chocolates. Do you plan to go on and write books? Cause if so I think I'd follow your writing just about anywhere. I love at the end here you have them both coming together and comforting the other and not wanting to hurt each other anymore.
Author's Response: I am hoping to become a published author, yes, so I am so happy to know that you think I'm capable of succeeding. Thank you!

Would that seem hokey?
Reading this made my heart jump for joy
Author's Response: Not hokey at all. I greatly appreciate it!

I started reading think thinking Oh nooooo Giles shut up and go away and Spike come in for some tea and then by the next part I was so excited I was cheering at my laptop screen. I started pooring tears with the ring box and the folded page from his book. Lovely just lovely makes me fall in love with Buffy and Spike all over again.
Author's Response: It's wonderful to know that you felt so strongly about the chapter. I feel a bit mean saying I am happy to make you cry, but ... well, in this case it is flattering for me know. Thank you!

Well my mascara is running and my heart is all a flutter this little part cut me to the quick
(Buffy narrowed her eyes, and she was arguing more with herself than with Spike as she said, “It’s stupid! It would be stupid. Maybe you are. Maybe part of you is. But it would still be stupid. You’re still a vampire. You don’t know how to be good; you’ve forgotten how to be good. You don’t even know wrong from right—”
She started to turn away then, but he grabbed her arm and held her back.
“Then, teach me!” he said hoarsely. Desperately.)
This whole page makes me desperate for more soon please!
Author's Response: It was an emotionally charged chapter for me to write, so it's wonderful to know that it affected my readers just as much. Thank you!

OMG! I'm dying this was too good!
He darted down the length of the cave to where she stood, grabbed her by the wrist and pried her hand from the ladder. “Look here”—digging into the pocket of his jeans—“You bloody look at this, and then you tell me I don’t love you. That I didn’t spend every minute of every day for a hundred and twenty-one goddamn years thinking about you.”
Author's Response: That was my favorite part of the chapter; I'm happy you enjoyed it just as much. Thank you!
Date: 12/19/2007 - 05:31 pm Title: Chapter Fifty-One
This is so well done I can see the whole part of this play out in my head just like a episode in how they would fight.

Now I can't wait for the new year - this was like a lovely little Christmas gift for me!
Author's Response: Thank you!

Bloody review didn't go through so I'm going to try again.
Fantastic update. I didn't like horrid Giles but then I suppose Spike is very much persona non grata (or should that be vampire non grata?) at this point in time and in some shape or form has been carrying on with his Slayer. Buffy and Spike together was just beautifully brilliant. I have loved every part of this amazing story and this was no exception - bravo.
Peeved because that wasn't as good as my first attempt but am going to try to send this review again - everything is crossed.
Author's Response: For some reason the reviewing system on here has been acting wonky lately. But don't worry; your second attempt is just lovely. Thank you!
Date: 12/19/2007 - 12:37 pm Title: Chapter Fifty-One
Amazing!!! Amazing Amazing Amazing. :) Loved this chapter so much and it just makes me craves for more. Even though i hate when the holidays are over and all the warm fuzzy feelings x -mas brings, i kind of want it to be the new year to see what happens next. Please oh please don't let there be more denial Buffy. I don't want her going hot and cold on Spike. It seems that its now time to be convincing the rest of the world (well except Dawn) that they belong together.
You had me worried there for a bit when Buffy approached the ladder. Thank god she fought that feeling to run away.
Favorite line: "If you’d been there, I could have been good. I can be good—teach me to be good. Let me be—” If Buffy can't hear William coming from his voice she must be deaf.
Author's Response: Thank you! Your review just made my day the first time I read it. I'm terribly sorry it took me so long to reply, but just know that it has given me a lot of pleasure to read your thoughts.

Oh is she really pregnant, I thought for some reason the test was negative.
I am glad they are going to try something.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I hope your holidays were lovely, and I'm terribly sorry about being so late in responding to your comments.

Glad you didn't leave us with a huge cliffhanger.. just waiting for the kiss ..
I dislike this Giles.. At least his idea that William was some sexual predator made Buffy got to Angel for answers.
Finally... Buffy has come to certain realizations about Spike/William vampires and love.. And the ring. Yet hate that she hits him and hopefully she can love Spike and not "do that again". Hope.
Enjoy your holiday.
Having trouble with the code thingy

Oh poop. I just wrote the longest review I've EVER written, and it didn't go through. :( And I'm too tired to rewrite, and I kind of LOST the gist of it, so just going to say that this update was fabulous, as usual, and that it's made everything so clear between Spike and Buffy. Really impressive character development and plot growth, allowing us to see the equal amount of hurt distributed to them both, and how once they acknowledge their equality in this matter, that they're on the same level, they can overcome obstacles, etc. Hoping whatever problems from Giles etc. won't be as great now that they SEEM to be getting over their issues! Love this fic!
Author's Response: Oh, no. I missed out on a long review? I'm such a sucker for those. Damn internet! Well, anyway, I really appreciate your taking the time to type a new one. It's lovely to know that you think so highly of the story. Thank you!
