Not sure what all the making Angel a total blockhead is going - With how much all the previous quality of your story, Angel seems a bit forced.

I am very much enjoying your work and all your original characters.

A sad sad ending for such a heroic efforts and love - but it fits Buffy's character and her always stated perspective and feelings for Spike - that she could never really love him without a soul and even with one, she could never fully accept him either. By the time of her "I Love You" it was all too late and too tragic.

Summary: Response to Challenge # 178. Spells and Jealousy and Treachery...oh my! Set during The Yoko Factor, something has happened to make Buffy and Spike repeat the same day over and over. Will they figure out they're in this together or keep working against each other? Will they be able to fix the time loop or are they doomed to repeat the day for eternity? And just how many visits from a jealous Riley and Angel will Buffy be able to stand? Special thanks to spikeslovebite for beta'ing!!! This fic is a collaboration between Karyn, JackofSpikes, and Maryperk. This fic has won runner-up for Divine Retribution and Judges Choice at the Fang Fetish Awards and Runner-Up for Best Challenge Response at Loves Last Glimpse Awards. And has been nomm'ed at the Burn and Spark Awards for Best Plot, Best Romance, and Best Challenge Response.

You write with such beauty and such heart ache and so much depth of both these characters - the tragic of their contrast to love when their lives are in such despair.

I think this is my favorite line of the piece - it just drops down and crushes the heart.

Moving On by Cass Rated: 15 Liked [Reviews - 69]
Summary: Buffy is in Rome, Spike is in LA and both of them think they are dealing well with the 'moving on' thing. Ha! As if it was that easy. Starts during 'The Girl in Question', but goes pretty much astray after that. FINAL CHAPTER UP! But you're not getting away that easily. Sequel starts tomorrow :)

I'm sorry that Xander had to be killed off at the end - but it fits as a proper ending to his part of the story.

Great reading this one again. I am enjoying a slaymesoftly reading session that started out with Christmas stories.

Author's Response: I didn\'t really want to kill off Xander - but he was being a major butthead in this fic. Glay you enjoyed the reread. :)

Loves Lost Series by Slaymesoftly Rated: AO-AdultsOnly Liked [Reviews - 18]
Summary: Angelus is making life miserable for Buffy, and then he gets an unexpected helper who gives him the upper hand. This is not a fluffy fic - the three that follow it become increasingly fluffy and Spuffy, but it takes a long time to reach that happy ending - so don't be looking for it here!

Looking forward to reading your story - came across it while looking for another title and it sounded interesting. I always like reading works from the early season and with Spike as an alternative to Angel.

Reviewer: nmcil Signed
Date: 01/11/2015 Title: Chapter 2: Is This Real?

Excellent start - one thing that I do have problems with in the early high school timeline is that both Angel and Spike are so much older than Buffy and a heavy sexual attraction and sexual encounters with her at this age seems inappropriate to me. For sure, it's one of those everyone has their own perspective. So kinda hoping your story is not heavy on sex between Spike and Buffy - I will read it all the way through either way.
