it was really good, it showed Spike's pain but not in the most obvious ways, like some cheasy poems/songs can be. But must say I liked Buffy's poem far better, short and to the point, to fussy edges there. I would've liked to see some raw pain and agony from Spike, but I'm guessing that's still in store? And when oh when will Buffy come to her senses? I'm counting on you to make it a happy spuffy ending ;D or else I'll be wastly disappointed... But other than that, well-written chap, great Joyce-portrayal (loved the mother-daughter-bonding) and that last scene, great show of Buffy's unability to let go.
Keep up the great work! *hugs and kisses* /Annie
Author's Response: Buffy will be coming to her senses very soon, Annie...like the next chapter, whenever I get around to writing it! So happy to hear that you liked the last chapter, it was unintended, a sort of spur of the moment thing and I wasn't too sure about it at first. Thanks so much for the sweet review!

Great chapter. Though I do wish Buffy would realize she's never going to be happy with Riley. Anyway, can't wait for the next one.
Author's Response: Wish will be granted soon, Nika. Thank you!

Awesome chapter. Wow, Spike's clever. A poem about loss? That's a little sneaky... I love it! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Just because he's trying to accept Buffy's choice doesn't mean he has to make it easy for her, right? Thanks for leaving a review!

I was just as anxious for the first meeting too and put off reading it because it ws too uncomfortable. great update, waiting for another.
Author's Response: Glad you got the nerve up to read it. Wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, huh? Thanks for the review, Kelly!

PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING SERIOUSLY to read wat happens next. THANX SOO MUCH.
Author's Response: Thanks, Sarah G. Great review! Some things are certainly becoming more clear in Buffy's head. However, it may take her some time to realize it, but not too long since the end is coming, right? Thanks again!

Wow. I am always in awe of the way writers with the inate talent to tell a story well have the ability to take words that have little meaning on their own and string together with others to create such powerful feelings in their readers. That's exactly what you've done here, even without the powerful poems, whose writers are amazing by themselves, based on their work as presented here. I'm so glad you decided to press on. So, thankful that you gave us this chapter. It conveys the feelings of the lost lovers perfectly, as well as that of the woman who separated them in the first place, but has been uncovered as a woman who all along, including now, only wants what's best for her daughter. All that, and you've managed to peak our curiosity about who the brunette who waltzed in & out of class with Spike. Can't wait to find out and to witness Buffy's redemption in Spike's eyes, as I think he's been redeemed in hers, as if he even needed it. VERY excellent chapter.
Author's Response: Wow, ok...ego so very much becoming overinflated! What a wonderful review! I'm so glad that everyone seems to have enjoyed this chatper, wasn't sure what the response would be since the anticipation of their reunion has been dragged out even longer. So happy that it went well. I just really wanted some way for their feelings to be brought out without anyone actually having to talk to one another and this seemed like the best Spike-like way to do it. He was very sneaky indeed. Thanks again for the comments, they were so nice and encouraging.

ohhh i cant wait till something happens and in front of reily i know he hasn't really done anything but i still don't like him
ummm really like it who is the woman with spike
Author's Response: Well, then your wish will be granted in the next chapter. Also, the woman's identity will be revealed soon. Thanks, Tina!
[Report This]Date: 10/27/2007 - 01:45 pm Title: Chapter 19
He does still want her doesn't he? - "haven't forgotten my way home". OK and Buffy's jealous which should give her a big point in the right direction. Loved it.
Author's Response: You interpreted that correctly, Sam...Spike is still rather infatuated with our dumb-blonde. Thanks for the review!

Oh, poetry class :) Liked a lot! And Joyce is doing well, being nice and sincere. I'm glad that Buffy and Joyce get along now.
I wonder what will happen next, after all she has his poem :) Please update soon! /Ariadne
Author's Response: I imagine there will be a great deal of moping and then denial on Buffy's part...that is what she does right? Luckily, I won't bore you guys with all of that nonsense. The next chapter will be up next week and should prove to be interesting. Plus, lovely brunette woman's identity will be revealed early on. Thanks so much, Ariadne...love hearing from you!

The brunette better be his sister or something ,and please not Dru, you said in your A/N that there's 2 chapters left, that's good because Buffy's hardheadedness and illogical behaviour is driving me nuts. I really , really am enjoying this ,but she pisses me off, and I can't forgive Joyce so readily just because she now realizes what she did. If her daugther winds up with Riley in a loveless marriage the guilt should eat her up alive.
Author's Response: Her behavior is driving me nuts, too, Jo. Hard to imagine since it's all my fault that she's being like she is! :) I know lots of readers won't be able to forgive Joyce just yet, but I think in time (?!) you will. Thanks for the review!

hope you update again soon
Author's Response: Thanks. I really hadn't planned on that chapter and had to scurry around to find poems that fit. Luckily, I found that poem and the song right away. They really fit. Thanks!

Oh I wonder who is guest is please tell me he didn't pick someone up, just to get over his loss of Buffy. If he did thought it might give her the push she needs to leave Riley and go to Spike. If Spike will have her.
Author's Response: Now, do you really think lovelorn Spike would do something like that? ok, yeah he probably would after massive amounts of alcohol. You'll find out next week, I promise. Thanks so much!

Oops.. Sorry Serenity..
I was skimming so quickly for the Makeup part.. Hint HInt... I missed the jealousy -touching -svelte looking- hatred paragraph. Yes, we know who it is. Bet Dru sensed Buffy needed a little shove into the right direction.. And Spike needed some consoling. No new girlfriend would be so stupid not to know his poem was directed at another woman.
Bad habit on my part. Read for summary first and then details later.
No game this weekend. They get to heal from the beatings from 'cough'.. Kentucky and Auburn. Alabama is next weekend.
Pam
Author's Response: Not a problem, I tend to overlook things in stories too. Guess you get a little too excited about the outcome, huh? So, you're guessing Dru? Interesting. I can see why, but you should know by now that I like surprises. I know...evil. Oh and haha about the loss! I'm just glad you guys didn't totally rip us a new one like I was already prepared for. As for the game with Bama next weekend...do me a favor and make sure your boys tear their egos to shreds. These Bama fans are really starting to grate on my nerves. Guess that's what I get for being an Auburn fan and working in Tuscaloosa. It's funny, in Auburn (use to live there) all we did was go out and have a good time, win or lose. Of course, there were a few incidences, but all in all it's a good time. All we really want to do is roll our corner and drink massive amounts of alcohol. In Tuscaloosa, if Bama wins...dear lord. Being a 911 operator after a loss makes me want to inflict serious injury to myself just to be able to go home. They're literally crazy here. Fights all night long. Insane. FYI...I won't be working during next weekend's game, thankfully. It's my Saturday night off and I will be far far away from town. :) I should have the next chapter up by Thursday morning. I plan on working on it over my off days. Thanks for leaving another review!

Lady Friend.. Maybe the lovely Drusilla? Did Buffy even notice?
And Joyce, trying to right a wrong with the truth in relationships. I still think she was right in asking Spike to step aside until she was 18.. But not to hide his letters and the fact that he came to see her.
Ah, lovers.. speaking to each other in poetry. Taking his out of the trash. Poor safe, loving, dependable Riley.. kind of like have a puppy.
Enjoyed the early update. Tell the muse -Thank you.
Author's Response: Oh, Buffy noticed all right.. cheeks reddened with jealousy or something to that effect. The mystery guests identity will be revealed in the next chapter, which I am hoping to work on that over the weekend. I thought the whole poetry thing really went well with Spike as a whole; got his feelings right out there in the open. Yes, Riley is very much like a puppy. Cute and cuddly, but you wouldn't marry it, would you? My muse says you are very welcome. She enjoyed this chapter. Plus, really needed to get Joyve and Buffy back on speaking terms. Thanks for the review, Pam! Good luch this weekend!

This is your story, write the character as you see fit. If the path is for her to be blind to what could be because her history with those she cares for is less than stellar, then so be it. It makes the story and the ultimate climax that much worth waiting for.
I've been reading all along, just not reviewing (my bad) so i truly encourage you to keep on writing and don't become discouraged.
Author's Response: Hey there Opal! Glad to hear from you, I have decided not to take a break, well a long one anyway. This week has been hectic and I haven't gotten a chance to work on the next chapter, so it more than likely won't be out until the end of next week. Thank you so much for the review!

okay, so I admit I was one of the people who really couldn't stand the Buffy in your story, your little spiel really helped clear things up.. Looking forward to this big climatic ending by the way!

I personally liked where you were going. I think that its very realistic how Buffy is reacting to Spike being back in her life. Why should she immediately drop her two-year relationship with Riley as soon as Spike (a guy she thinks abandoned her) comes back in town? Please don't take to long of a break, I'm sure that I'm not the only reader that likes what you're doing.
Author's Response: Well, thank you, B! I'm so happy to hear that pretty much all of my reviewers like where I am taking the story. I promise the break won't be long, should be out late next week.

ok first i just want to tell u that u did portray buFfy like u wanted to, i think that u wrote it so that we, the readers could see she was acting out of hurt and that rileys constant. i just think we just dont like it, it has nothingto do with how u wrote her, u did a fantastic job in getting that point across, we just dont want to accept it. (ok sorry i ranted, just wanted to tell u). ne ways she knows that she turly is meant to be with spike, shes just doesnt want to take the risk to be with him. i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. i cant believe that she told him wat she did, i think its sweet that he loves her enough to to forgive her, but theyre not meant to be together. i really hope that she sees that she needs to take that leap to be with spike and sees that she cant stay with stable for ever. PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING to read wat happens next. THANX SOOOO MUCH, U KICKASS
Author's Response: Hey! Thank you! I totally understand that my readers are frustrated or angry with Buffy. My question was did you guys think I was writing her illogically? Did she seem uncaring at all or selfish? That was what the one review said. However, thanks to all of the wonderful, uplifting, positive reviews I have received since then, I'd say my point came across very loud and clear. Thanks so much!

Come on Serenity , don't quit now just because wer'e all griping about what a moronic idiot Buffy is, I mean she's choosing Riley over Spike,yeah the girl is mental right now but we all know you'll bring her to her senses. This is a very serious sorry and you have managed to make me like Riley ,even, and feel sorry for him (Ha Ha Loser) you want us to like her, and i'm sure I will love her once she stops saying stupid lies and does the right thing by Spike, although she should crawl on her hands and kness after lying to him like that( Ummm, that might be fun) so don't stop , come on , keep going girl.
Author's Response: I never planned on quiting, just taking a small break to re-evaluate the story and figure out a way to make Buffy sound a little less shrew-like. However, after a much needed stress breaker (bubble bath) I realized that my muse just will not accept any type of break. She's chomping at the bit to write the next chapter, but I just don't know where I want it to start. Anyway, glad you liked the latest update. Thanks for staying with me and leaving such a nice review.

I think you're doing a wonderful job. This story is excellent, and I can't wait until the next update. While I think Buffy is being a grade A bitch, she does have issues to deal with. She doesn't think that passion as strong as she has with Spike will last, and she thinks it will only mean heartache in the end. And who can blame her for not wanting to get hurt, again?
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I am hoping to have another out soon. I know what is going to happen, just can't seem to get it started! Thanks again for the wonderful comments!

I really liked this chapter, really expressed what Buffy's feeling right now, the emotionall turmoil she's in. And also don't worry, not all of us thought that Buffy was a complete and utter bitch, I figured she was only protecting herself, not wanting to be hurt again :D and that's understandable. Not loving the Riley-lovin', but then again I was never a big fan of him in the show and still ain't. I'm all for Spuffy! (isn't that obvious?) *grin*
Keep it up! hugs and kisses/annie
Author's Response: I admit, she is being a bitch, but she honestly has good intentions. Riley has been really good to her over the past couple of years and she is doing what she thinks to be the right decision. I am so glad that to hear that not all of you think bad thoughts about her, as well as my writting. Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Annie.
