Okay, I wasn’t going to say anything because I usually stay out of these things, but I just can’t keep my mouth shut anymore.

Addie, you are a magnificent author. I’ve been reading this story since the beginning, and I’m sorry it’s taken this long to actually review (I’m one of those lurkers with a really busy life… lol) but I have to tell you, this story is… amazing. More than, actually, and it sucks bum, big time, that you’re getting all these negative reviews, that aren’t actual reviews and fall more into the category of whining.

I mean, seriously people, if you want instant gratification in a fic, then, go read smut, or find a story that goes: “Buffy and Spike got together. They lived happily ever after. The End.” And leave the reading of this fic to the rest of us that love it just the way it is.

Now to my actual review part of this, well, review lol…

Where do I start?

Loved how they got together, loved their time in New York, completely understand the feeling of moving to a different state and the stress that was piled onto them. I mean, Buffy had to deal with her mum being sick, possibly dying, the guilt that even then she couldn’t, in a way, forgive her for everything that had been said and done. And then dealing with Spike’s jealousy and the problems that they were having, and then the whole thing with Quentin, I can understand how things just felt so screwed up. With Spike too. I mean, the whole making an album, Quentin’s request that he take into consideration what dating his step sister could do to his career, trying to be there for Buffy, and trying not to be jealous, even though he is.

They might have not dealt with it in the best way, but when you’re actually faced in that kind of, or even just a similar, situation, you don’t really think things through. You just feel, and then do.

I totally understand why Buffy chose to leave Spike. If I were in her place, I’d do the same thing. Sometimes, you just love someone so much, that you’re willing to hurt them, to turn your back on all the greatness of the relationship, just so they can be free to have a future without you holding them back. Which I think, it’s what Buffy though she was doing.

Your story breaks my heart because, three years later, they’re still so adamant about moving on, that they just can’t see, even though they do feel it, how much in love they still are with one another.

I like that Robin is willing to give Buffy time and space to move on and move their relationship to the next step and how he gives Buffy a bit of insight on how Spike was right on how their relationship wouldn’t, for a lot of people, be viewed as wrong, much the same way that Eve gives Spike insight on how Buffy’s fears weren’t exactly unjustified.

Even though I’m not an Eve fan, and I hate seeing her with Spike lol, I like how you portrayed her as being so… human… lashing out at Spike, using words to make him feel guilt about being in love with Buffy, being in love with his step sister, because she feels insecure.

I’m… love, there are no words, I am in awe of this story. The plot is brilliant, the characters are beautifully flawed, the angst is so good it’s painfully good, I just… I love it!

If it gets so bad you have to stop posting here, which I’m really hoping it doesn’t and you don’t, email me and let me know where you will post? ‘cause I don’t want to miss a chapter of this.

I'm really enjoying the story so far. I can kinda relate to Spike in many ways especially in ch 6 when they're dancing and he tells Buffy how right it feels for her to be in his arms. It's the way I felt when I first held my girl, also how quickly he falls in love with her. Loving the way you're portraying Harm and I would of never thought of seeing her with Riley, but it works.



I love this chapter. When Spike suggested they get the yard for Drusilla to run around in, couldn't help but picture vamped out Dru running in circles on the grass lol... I wasn't expecting Buffy to get shot, that was a surprise.. and though I'm a big fan of angst I can't wait till you get back to the fluffiness.

Author's Response: Thanks for deciding to read this, I'm glad you're liking it. I'm actually not that good with angst, I would take the fluffiness any day. So, I will be getting back to that and hopefully won't take forever with it. Thanks for reading=)

I can't say I'm not glad that we get to see a little more angst it's what makes the fluf even better. Hopefully when Buffy wakes up she can reasure Spike that it wasn't his fault, 'cause I can only imagine how guilty he feels.

I'm really sorry that that happened to you. I know what it feels like when someone takes something that you worked really hard on and claims it as their own. but it's a risk we all take when we share a part of us with the internet world. *crosses fingers* here's hoping everything works out.

Author's Response: Thank you, it has been dealt with. She will be deleted and hopefully never to try this again. I just never thought that this would happen to me. I've had a few ideas taken before, but never an entire story. It's just really ridiculous that people have to do that and they think that no one would notice. Anyway, I'm glad you still like the story.

Sorry for the late review lol.. I was stuck in the hospital yesterday.. I liked the last chap I think Spike really needed the breakdown.

I gotta say I love Faith and it seems fitting that she would be the one to start getting him out of the mood he's been in. I really like Matthew and the element he brings into the story and now that Buffy's awake, we get fluff, right? lol..

Author's Response: But of course, I'll try to get some more fluff in as soon as I can. I'm kinda dealing with writer's block at the moment. My muse picked the perfect time to take another vacation...lol! Faith is a personal favorite of mine. I always loved that character and I tend to always make her likeable in my stories. I seem to be making her gay a lot, too. I don't even think I realized that, but I can always see it for some reason. That way people will know she won't be a threat and try to take Spike. I really don't see the two of them together like that. Glad you liked it=)

Fluffy Spuffy! Tam, you have made my day. I can relate to Buffy now, specially the last few chapters and having to deal with hospitals (I think I got a brand new phobia of needles now lol..) The chap is great. It's funny how Buffy knew exactly when Spike was gonna show up.. and he did need a little talking to 'cause of the way he was acting but I don't blame the guy, I would of done the same thing. Is it just me, or do I sense a happily ever after soon?

It's a really good poem. I like the story a lot. I think you captured Buffy a little more than you did Spike. The way that she thinks that Spike automatically came back for her is kinda typicall Buffy. Great story.

It's cool that Spike can understand what's going on with Buffy and it'd be nice for them to start out as friends, tho' with Spike's train of though, it seems he might've already started to fall for her.

I know that Darla has her motives to do as she has done but I'm still happy that her selfishness is helping, at least a little bit, Buffy and Spike.
I can't help but wonder how Joyce is going to take Spike asking her if it's okay for him to pay court to Buffy, lol.
I'm happy for Spike, that he's getting his father's last name and accepted by Angel, and though I don't agree with most of his thoughts, I do understand them.
Buffy's scene broke my heart 'cause I can feel just how hurt she is. I'm still hoping that when the time comes she'll at least hear William out.
Aimée, oh Aimée, I don't even know what to say about that girl anymore. She's delusional still and is more than a bit narcissistic. But as much as I can't stand her character I am utterly in love with the way you're writing her.
You are evil, teasing us with that little A/N at the end, lol. I'm actually a bit nervous about this 'unexpected twist' but oh so eager to find out. I can't wait to see what you have planned next :D

Author's Response: Hee, no one is happier than Darla's selfishness is helping them than me. Doesn't mean she'll get off the hook for all she's done before though. lol
I'm glad you understand Spike's, even if you don't agree with some of his thoughts. I think I might not agree with some of them, too, but he's kind of taken over so there's not much I can do but follow his lead.
Buffy's scene was so hard to write, I was crying the whole time I wrote it. But I think it worked out in the end and portrayed the depth of what she's feeling. About her wanting to hear William out? Well, that's coming on the next chapter, you'll find out then. *evil grin*
Oh, I'm very flattered that you like the way I'm writing Aimée, it's quite fun to write her like this. :D
And moi evil? No, not at all. *giggles* Actually this 'unexpected twist' took me by surprise, too, but it hopefully will be so good.
Thanks for your awesome review, Devin!
