A good pair indeed. Liked that bit of darkness.

Author's Response: I thought so. Thanks for the review. I am so happy that you liked it.

Maddeningly short, yet beautifully writen. The epilogue was everything it was supposed to be. Congrats!

Author's Response: OMG! I remember reading this review and thought I had replied, which clearly I did not. **hangs head in shame** I am so sorry, Andrei. Please forgive my tardiness. Thank you so much for the review, I am glad you enjoyed it!

great fic.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!

hee, Angel get's the brushoff. I'm glad Buffy isn't coy.

Author's Response: Angel should always get the brushoff! LOL Poncy bastard. Glad you liked! Thanks for the review!

ooookkkaayyy, does noone want to know the detailed story of the 14 friggin years... AWESOME plot... but should definitely get into those 14 years. they'll probably be the most interesting... pretty please, could be such a great story! (although ofc it already is hehe)

Author's Response: Apparently not. :) I know I jumped way ahead on the timeline, but I never intended to go into great detail on the time in between...just the meeting and the ending. Sorry. Glad you liked what I had though! Thank you so much for the review!!!

Ah I wondered if Buffy would have been awake when Spike came back (waking up without him). In a way she was because she was crying (or was she crying because she was alone?).
Good to see all went well because Spike was so worried.
Awe and smiled contentedly as he thought about the rest of eternity... together
Good end too :)

Author's Response: I had to have Buffy wake up alone, kinda a nod to the show and her crying was a testament to that and the whole emotional ordeal she was experiencing. I'm so happy you enjoyed it, dear. Thank you for leaving such a sweet review, as usual. **huggles**

Just read this all in one go and really really enjoyed it. I was quite surprised when Spike turned out to be a Vampire because when I started I had assumed he was human. Loved it but just one tiny niggle. In the first chapter Buffy's shirt is emerald and in the second it's crimson! I think I need to get a life!!

Author's Response: Hey Sam, glad to see that you enjoyed my little fic. I was so hoping that the twist would really get a lot of people and amazingly, it did. Seemed completely obvious to me, but I expect that's due to the fact that duh! Im writing it. And, yes, the snafu on the shirt color has been fixed. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! :)

wow what a briliant and unique story, loved every single word of it and so glad you posted, thanks

Author's Response: Thanks, Vara! Uber happy that you enjoyed my little story. The idea came to me while driving home from work one day and wouldn't stop nagging me until I wrote it, so I'm pleased as punch that you liked it! Thanks again!

That's it? One short epilogue away from the end of this story? WHY???
I want more, more, MORE!

Author's Response: Why? Because I'm an evil bitch. Seriously, just ask Sotia...she will confirm it. I am, however, super duper excited that you like it so much! Thanks for the review, Andrei!!! **huggles**

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't tell me this is ending soo soon!!!! *pouts* But hey this was one hot/hellva good story! It helped me get through these past couple of weeks (even though most of the time was spent in terribly crucial suspense) I LOVED IT! Thanx for the update sweetie and can't wait for the rest of it! *hugs and smooches*

Author's Response: So, you enjoyed? **grin** Yes, sadly my dear, this story will be coming to a close soon. Only a short and sweet epi to round it out. But, don't fret, my pet...you know I have oodles of other stories churning away in my wicked mind. Thanks for the wonderful review, babe!

Unexpected, Buffy being deadly ill. I wonder if she know what it means to be a vampire. But when you're dying you'll take a lot of chances not to. ~ Looking forward to find out how it ends.

Author's Response: I don't really think anyone would truly understand the consequences of being vamped, but you're right...when it's your last hope at "living" you'd try anything, right? Thanks for the review, glad you like it!

Buffy's backstory was so sad. :( I'm glad Spike decided to help her, I especially liked how he kept giving Buffy an out if she changed her mind. Loved the hotness leading up to the turning. Wonderful chapter!

Author's Response: I really wanted to yank on everyone's heartstrings during this story, then totally make it better with smut. Glad to hear I accomplished just that! LOL Thanks for the review!!!
