Harold, Liam , Darla and Dru have had their comeuppance. Their cruelty and selfishness was inexcusable. Liam and Harold's cowardice and bitterness will be remembered. So will the manner in which they abused their wives. Drusilla and Darla are now widowed and friendless. They'll come to no good end, though Dru is beyond caring.

It's all riveting!

Author's Response: thank you...more waiting for you

Still here with ya, and will continue to nag for chappie... Gah! The Wedding Day and we STILL have to wait for at least another chappie til it happens! Consider this henceforth to be nagging for more! Was good to see good friends sat vigil with William (much as they would were he being knighted or elevated to any other great estate, which, well, he actually IS somewhat by the terms of the treaty and his marriage). And how sweetly shy he is among married men's talk, as well as quietly discreet, to keep the secrets (or not, among Buffy's kin and few Saxons such as his clergy) of his relationship previous to his marriage with Buffy quiet and discreet; he could've boasted and told tales with the other men, and would have had he been like his brothers, but thankfully he is not. You convey so well the good man that he is here, Much akin to the William the poet of the TV show (but more useful!), but having faced and bested more adversity in life, having had a positive experience with his Buffy, and having not had to resort to wearing the tough as nails and uncaring mask usually seen on "our Spike".
Your handling of Druscilla at the end was gracious; a sad end for her, but a good way to bring Dru's madness into the tale.
Great that you brought up the factual stench that had to roll off people, especially those in lowered circumstances such as the insane, beggars, poor and prisoners (not to mention people on an everyday basis in general, plus soldiers, tradesmen, farmers/herdsmen/butchers, and pilgrims (not the kind from early American colonies). I used to hate watching Monty Python's Jaberwocky JUST because it so blightedly depicted this kind of thing in almost smell-o-rific graphic detail! (I wanted to keep my fantasy of chivalric romance!)
The guards that allowed Liam to grab Buffy should have been, (and hopefully will) beaten. But I loved that Buffy defended herself in a manner that did not emasculate Wm. Gotta love a woman who is always prepared. Somehow I have the feeling she started carrying that knife back when her husband was alive though, he being a man like Liam.
Love this fic, you know it! More, More, More! {Please?) Don't wanna nag too much!

Author's Response: glad you enjoyed it so much, and glad you are back with us...more as soon as my muse allows

I'm so glad that you up-dated!! This chapter was terrific, just like the rest. Are you going to let us know what happened to Darla? I look forward to the wedding chapter. Give your muse a kiss and maybe he'll start being a little less cantankerous! :)

Author's Response: my muse still isn;t playing nicely. he used to do 3000 words in a day, now i'm lucky to get 300!!! bad muse but thanks for the review, maybe it will do the trick

WOW this story is awesome. the background info on the vikings is really interesting. please keep up the amazing work and update soon

Author's Response: will update when i can I study and teach viking history, it shows i think glad you enjoyed and thanks for the review

This wole chapter was absolutely riveting and i'm so glad Buffy got hers in where Liam was concerned - bastard deserved it, giggles. A brilkiant chapter hon and I hope RL will cam down eo9ugh for you to continue soon. Love it all boo - hugs.

Author's Response: glad you enjoyed it. Must have hit the right note if you found it riveting... more soon

Don't know if Dru is acting crazy or is crazy, but considering she was crazy on the show, I guess she really is crazy. Good chap.

Author's Response: thanks

Loved Harold's dropping dead and Buffy's killing of Liam - they finally got what they deserved. I'm not normally this blood thirsty but those two just p#%*ed me off. Now for Darla......

Author's Response: wedding first, then some spuffy loving:) thanks for the review. more soon

Wow, what a dramatic start to Buffy and William's wedding day! The Ordeal definitely played out in a fascinatingly unexpected way. I also enjoyed reading William's thoughts regarding his upcoming nuptials. And go Buffy, gotta respect a girl who always comes prepared. :D Loved the update!

Author's Response: thanks for the review, Buffy always had a stake hidden where Spike couldn't find it on the show:)

I bet neither Harold nor Liam did think that the day would end for them as it did. A greater justice took place. In a way with Liam too. Underestimating Buffy was the last error he did make.
Dru isn't a danger any longer; maybe Darla...
Enjoyed the update. Glad you posted this story again. *hugs*

Author's Response: Rl has let up a bit and let me post....glad you liked it
