I'm running out of ways to describe this without repeating myself... All I can say is it's awfully bloody good. I am totally engrossed in this story - especially in the slow, sweet development of their relationship. Wonderful originality with the fantasy world & characters. I can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm trying to learn how to create interesting and believable alternate worlds. I'm so glad you like it!

Haha! "You do that." Awesome. Interesting new developments. I'm totally intrigued. And I love the way you're developing the tension between Buffy & Spike here. Nicely done.

Author's Response: The tension's what's fun to write. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

This was an emotionally satisfying ending for this wildly entertaining story. I enjoyed the dimension you created and how you used it to change Buffy's world view. Spike's actions once he was back in Sunnydale was just the challenge she needed to make the right choice and she had the courage to do it. It made for a vivid, delightful ending.

Author's Response: I wanted Buffy to grow and change. Spike's actions were needed to tie up all the loose ends and back Buffy right up against the wall where she had to make a choice. I'm so glad you liked the story! Thank you!

Everything falling into place so readily was bittersweet. On the one hand the gang will be headed home, but on the other there are two relationships that are coming to an end. The journey and the challenge were vivid and entertaining, and I enjoyed Rihar using Spike's trick against the pride lord.

The trip home was quick and relatively painless, but Rihar and Spike still being close to their lovers is a good sign. I hope.

Author's Response: It fitted somehow that Rihar would use Spike's trick. He learns fast, which is why he wants to see our dimension and how attached Anya might be to it.

Buffy giving in to the want is glorious, and it's allowing Spike to scramble into the nooks and crannies surrounding her defenses. There's no way she's going to be able to forget this time together, and even though Spike is gearing himself for the break up when they return to Sunnydale, he's not going to be able to put this behind him either.

Author's Response: Her sense of duty is still giving her trouble - and Buffy always distrusts her desires and fears emotions. *sigh*

Rihar's courting of Anya was delightful. His animal nature matches her straightforward attitude beautifully. Xander might lose her completely to this dimension.

Buffy's excursion was eye opening, too. This pride may not be human, but they have family love and loyalty. They're more like Buffy than not. It's helped opne her eyes to the possibilities of Spike.

Buffy coming to Spike was deliciously tension filled, and I kept thinking she was going to turn tail and run. The sex was vivid and erotic and wonderful. I hope it's leading to a real relationship, but it's enough for now.

Author's Response: Anya, having been a demon, would have no problem with being attracted to a Shifter and I too thought his directness would match her forthrightness. And I thought the pride would make Buffy see that demons can also be people. Thank you for liking the tension in Buffy's surrender. She's tempted enough to fall, but still holding back.

Your attention to detail is painting a vivid picture of this race of shape shifters. Their civilization is fascinating, and I love the unrepentant son being sent off to stud.

Anya finally getting her fill of Xander was believable. In this story he is absolutely irrational. His bitching and hysterics are going to get the gang killed if he doesn't gain some control.

Buffy giving her blood to Spike was sensuous and delightful. Is Buffy going to become addicted like Riley? That's probably one of the many excuses she'll use to explain away this growing attraction.

Author's Response: Thank you for liking the detail! Writing believable new worlds is something I really want to do and I'm so glad you think I am. This story came about because I accidentally watched Paul Shrader's 1982 "Cat People" and thought: What if the cats were intelligent? The whole story just leaped to mind. I pushed Xander's irrational fear of demons here because it was essential to the Anya part of the story. I'm so glad you weren't upset or offended by it!

This new land is just as fascinating as the last, and you built unbelievable tension with the stalking panther. The fight scene was vividly choreographed and very exciting. I'm enjoying this new group, especially Serrai. She's really shining a light on the hypocrisy of the scoobies. They depend on Spike, but give him nothing in return. Buffy's anger and jealousy at the bite makes me think that should be changing soon.

Author's Response: Thank you for liking the scenes with the panther! I'm trying to learn how to write suspense and action. I'm so glad you think I've succeeded! And the Scoobies can be awful hypocrites and I wanted to suggest that.

This...is COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!!! Excellent creativity deserves excellent reviews. I admit, part of me thinks there needs to be a sequal. But that is entirely up to you. Another fine piece of work :D

Author's Response: Wow! Thank you! So many people have asked for a sequel that I am planning one. But it will have to wait until my present WIP is finished.

This was wonderful! I absolutely *loved* it.

I adored the Quenya. They were wonderful. So interesting in and of themselves, and yet also so useful for showing Buffy that it's not always about having a soul and being human.

I also liked how your Spike was unapologetic. Very true to the character, I think. He'd do anything for a loved one, but he wouldn't apologize for it.

The human mage was interesting. I liked the things he pointed out to Buffy.

Nice job. I hope you have other stuff I can read!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you for liking it! I'm trying to learn how to write original worlds and characters. The Quenya were there to show Buffy that a soul is not really necessary, but I'm so glad you found them interesting in themselves! Thank you! I think Spike is that way too - never sorry for anything he does for love. I have ten other stories posted and another under way. Plus, I'm planning a sequel to this one. I'm really fond of the Quenya!

this was an amazing story, i couldn't stop reading....one of the best I have ever read.
I do so hope you write a sequal to your wonderful world.
many, many thanks for sharing

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! So many people are asking for a sequel that I'm definitely going to write one. It will take a while though because I have to finish another WIP first.

I LOVED this story. I caught on to it yesterday and I couldn't stop until I was finished. Such a fun, exciting, and delicious story. I loved the addition of the Anya/Rihar love story. I just wish that Xander wasn't SO annoying. It would have been nice if he actually learned something and opened his eyes. I wanted to strangle him.

But it would be awesome if we got an epilogue or part 2. Pretty please!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! Yes, I am thinking of continuing it in another story set around six months later. Xander will have had time to think and open his eyes a little bit by then. But I've got another WIP to finish first, so it may take some time.

My dear Dreamweaver, I have read everything Spuffy you have written, that I have found on any Spuffy site, and I have to say that I have enjoyed this one the most bar none, and that's saying something because I like anything you write..................... I would dearly love to see a sequel to this one. I find myself imagining all manner of continuations. .............I want to find out what happens with Anya and Rihar, do they stay together, or do people conspire to tear them apart because she's a different species? Do Angel, Giles and Xander try to take out Spike even though it would kill Buffy? What does the Council do when they find out? Do Buffy and Spike have to go into hiding? Does Rihar open the portal again to gain help from Willow, Tara , Buffy and Spike because of retaliation from other dimentions for aiding the Scooby gang back to their own dimention and ultimately killing Doc and Glorificus???....The possibilities are endless aren't they? And you're just the one to write them. Your imagination and the attention to detail is wonderful. A brand new addition to the Buffyverse. Excellent, excellent, excellent. Can you tell I liked it?::))

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to learn how to write believable other dimensions and I'm so glad you liked this one. I've really become fond of it too and I am working out a plot for another story set there. It will have to wait though until I get my present WIP finished. One hint though: absolutely Anya and Rihar will stay together! I think she deserves to be cherished after years of emotional rejection by Xander.

Wonderful story... I loved *your* Spike a lot.
And I am very glad Anya had her chance to go where she will be truly loved.
Thanks a lot. Waiting for your next. ;-)

Honestly, I'm so blown away by the beautiful alternate worlds you create and the wonderful original characters that exist in them. You always manage to do Spuffy exactly right as well and I'm always sorry when the story ends but deeply satisfied. Can't wait for the next story that you kindly decide to share with us.

I love your writing style and the story you have written. I like this Spike and I'm glad he was strong enough not to be a punching bag but rather a true equal for Buffy. Glad Buffy finally grew up and realized the world is not black and white but indeed shades of gray. I also love how you gave Anya someone to truly love and accept her.
Great story. I can't wait for your next.

Author's Response: I always hought Spike was Buffy's true and only equal. And I never liked the show keeping her from seeing the grays. Anya truly needed someone to appreciate and cherish her for herself! I'm so glad you like this! Thank you!

I was hoping Buffy and Spike would go back.. But Slayer duties and all.. The claim .. better..

YAY! I'm kinda sad that it's over but that the same time what a fantastic end! Buffy and Spike are all with the claimy goodness, Anya is happy with her panther, and Angel and Xander were thwarted! Giles too, but I like Giles, so no hard feelings. Another excellent adventure and I applaud you for a job well done!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I like Giles too; I just couldn't have his insistence on duty conflict with what Buffy really need.
