Autor. It was good. The thing only, even just as human, cannot believe Buffy would be ok with deqd people, but it is your story, and I enjoyed it, so thank You.

I loved this; I think the tale is beautifully told. I have to say, as a hater of sad endings, I actually can see that a sad ending would have been artistically beautiful ... Spike's fears and sorrow at turning Buffy seemed like foreshadowing to me; so much so, I think I had more trouble than Spike at believing that Vamp!Buffy turned out to be sufficiently Buffy in the end.

I don't love the decision to turn her, though I do inderstand your reasons, and that was where the story was headed the whole time.

Spike's and Buffy's reasons for the decision to turn her were less believable. Human!Buffy despaired of Spike's status and actions at the top of the food chain, but for some reason had no moral qualms about introducing another predator to the human race. I guess she figured once she was turned, she wouldn't have a conscience so all's well that end's well for her, but how, as a concerned human, could she stomach that result? And Spike was so concerned she'd be so changed she wouldn't be Buffy anymore but threw caution to the wind and decided "hell with it?" His actions were better explained, since he seemd to acknowledge his hypocrisy, knowing he'd turn her in the end despite his protests to Buffy.

I wonder if the plot turn needed more development to bring the reader to the place where that was really the only reasonable option.

All in all, I really did enjoy this. I was sucked in right away. Loved the dialogue, it fairly sparkles. Love Anya, glad you included her. Would love to have some info on how the story resolved for her.

Very well written. A new (to me) favorite story from a favorite author.

Interesting story and a captivating read. Nicely and realistically written.

i love all your writing, and the ending of this, its your story, you can make it end any way you like! I think it is great, thought i had read everything spuffy you had written, was v excited to find a new-to-me story

another great story. Thanks for an awesome read!

Like, OMG. Luv it :)
It's a little smutty for me and i was forced to skip some bits :P Bu i just love the plott :)
I feel sad that Riley died. He was a prick but he was so nice in the show it's hard to see him go...
Anywaaaay
luv it and hope to see more of ur work :)

I enjoyed this story very much. I don't think any other ending would have done it justice.

I really liked it. Thanks so much.

wow! i finally had a chance to finish this and ... wow! that was a fabulous story. you did a great job with the suspense and the layered shades of gray. you're right, a vampBuffy warning would have spoiled a lot of the fun. thanks for this creative fic!

I enjoyed this. I think there was no other choice here, either be turned and remain with Spike or make Spike leave. This ending lets me know that Spike really loves her, but I'm still left wondering what Buffy will be like as a vampire. It's good to be left wondering.

Thanks for the entertaining read.

Hey Addie, first of all I want to tell you this was definitely another story of yours I enjoyed very much. I think turning Buffy into a vampire was not a wrong decision but a good solution for their obvious "relationship problems". And for the warning... I don't think it was an actual character death in this story because although Buffy's body technically died she was still the same Buffy when she woke up.
Well anyway though I enjoyed it very much and hope to read another story of yours soon. Keep up with the good work!

Hey,

Brill story, as ever! And thank you for your decision not to ruin the ending with warnings - nothing worse than knowing the end of a story in my opinion. Also, v glad that Buffy still loves Spike - too depressing otherwise, though I would still have loved it, I'm sure. Again, thanks for writing, and thanks for sharing, you've really made my day!

Great
