Bio:
Okay, it's been many months since I've updated my stories. I wouldn't blame anyone for giving up on me. But here I am updating! My daughter claims Buffy changed my life, helped me decide to launch a new career and take on other unexpected challenges,
. She may be right.

Hey Pari! I like this fic so far. I'm just starting a story set at roughly the same time so i'm especially interested to see where you take this. I'm looking forward to more.

Oh, jealous, violent Spike is kinda scary. Are we foreshadowing something here? I hope he doesn't lose it and make things go pear-shaped.... looking forward to more. Sd
Date: 06/24/2006 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter Thirty-Six
Loved this chapter. Oh, I'm a total sucker for Spike doing angst. I haven't hit a writers block yet - heck I've only been writing for a few weeks - but I know you'll eventually feel the flow. Looking forward to it when it comes.

Oh the pain, the anguish. I love it!!! But I'm holding out the hope that while he will no doubt screw up again and again, our hero with eventually stop being such a prick and he and Buffy will be happy again. Yes?
Date: 07/11/2006 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter Forty-One
Double oy! You're really laying it on now. I'm scared. I hope nobody gets irreparable hurt here.
Date: 07/14/2006 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter Forty-Two
Okay. Everybody is wading in so I might as well get into it too.
Spike and Buffy each have issues that they have not addressed. They found each other, which has been good for both of them, but there are older, underlying hurts that they need to face and deal with. Spike is not a social drinker - whatever that means - he is using alcohol to numb his pain. Whether or not this is alcoholism isn't really important - it is an unhealthy relationship with booze that is damaging his life and could imperil his future with Buffy. Buffy has been using Spike to feel alive and engaged with the world again. This isn't a bad thing necessarily, but now she is isolated in a new environment and he is proving that he can't be everything for her. Big surprise? Well, maybe to a totally naive romantic, but most of us eventually figure out that our significant other can't be our significant only.
I am optomistic that these two bright young people can come to grips with their problems and go on to have a mostly happy life. That's the best any of us can hope for, really. It's never ALL puppies and hugs.
I'm impressed that someone as young as I think you are has been able to realistically capture the complexities of real life in these two flawed but simpathetic characters. I commend you for the great story telling.
I suspect some of your critics are looking for pure fantasy and romance. I can respect that, but you are under no obligation to provide what they can certainly find elsewhere. I, for one, am loving this fic.

Author's Response: Thank you. With this story. I set out to tell something other than pure fantasy. Relationships--even when two people are very much in love--are hard to make work. These are two very flawed characters, as I believe they were in the show in many respects. They tried to fix all of their emotional problems by simply being together and believing love could overcome anything, and sadly, this is rarely actually the case. They're going to have to deal with their own emotional issues before they can truly have a stable relationship.

Yummy! I love the scene with Eve. Buffy nailed her to the wall. Okay, now to the good stuff? A little more angst is okay, but there is good stuff coming right? With the still gorgeous rocker honey? Many are waiting with baited breath for what will no doubt be a very hot reunion. Just so you know. Sd

I love the slow, steady torture you've devised. Evil, evil author!!

I love the My Little Pony reference. Those things were always so over the top. It's so great to have them together again. But will they be able to deal once they leave the cozy comfort of Spike's house?

P.S. Yes, I know I'm paranoid!

NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! He won't lose her. I just know you've got better things in mind for our lovers. That Eve should be throttled!

Come on people, let's all follow the plot! Nice Willow, geeky and unsure of herself just like I remember her. You've got me worried about Nancy's evil plan. So I guess I'll be here reading when you post the next installment. Thanks Sd
Date: 06/27/2006 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter Forty-Three
Oy! (American spelling) Talk about hairy cliff-hangers. I'll be hanging here all day or whatever waiting to find out if she's okay. Buffy is okay? right? I mean, you can't kill off your protagonist can you? That wouldn't be very nice, or practical for that matter. No Buffy, no more Spuffy! so she must be okay. Yea!
Date: 07/11/2006 Title: Chapter 49: Epilogue
Love the bit about Willow having potential to be a horror movie victim! I also enjoyed the bit about needing a better metaphor (lol) the curse of the fan fiction author turned into a joke! You did cover a lot of ground angst-wise...but brought us ultimately to a happy ending! Thank you for a great story.

Okay, yummy possibilities for Emma and Aiden. The wedding, babies, more Key inquiries. Looks like you've got gobs of things to write about. I'm liking it just fine! Glad to see them all home safe and maybe the time difference will help Emma see more of Aiden than they thought? My little brain doesn't handle the time issues very well...I'll have to think about that.

I love the bit about Ben and Jerry! They might actually be pixies for all I know! This is so much fun. I'm really glad you are making it your own. I'm not so terribly up on muses that your version will cause any dissonance anyway. And I'm enjoying your take on the muse. More is eagerly anticipated.

Well, I like the idea of moving the story along. I'm not getting any writing done lately, but I'm always happy to have chapters of your fics to read!! I think I know where this is going. They're going to get to stay together forever, right? Oh, well, I can dream can't I? Keep the chapters coming, I've enjoyed every single one and look forward to the next!

Ah! Good to know how one pads a chapter to 1000 words when it really doesn't need to be that long!! I loved the premise of Buffy as Spike's muse. You took it in a very thoughtful direction. And then, of course, there was the lustiness. Thank you for this and all your wonderful fics!
