I've been following this fic from the beginning, although I can't remember if I've reviewed (bad reader!). I've really been enjoying it, and I'm so happy that you have moved so slowly and didn't just make them jump into bed and have sex, because that would have been ridiculous. It's been realistic, as far as I know, and I really appreciate that.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're reviewing now, thank you so much! :)

Just wanted to pop in and say how much I like the pace of this story. It's extremely realistic for the characters, and I love seeing Spike slowly open up to Buffy.
Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know you like it! Really appreciate it. :)

I'm so happy they're going to the therapist soon. And there's touching! Almost-naughty touching! Yay!
Author's Response: Yay! *lol* About time, don't you think? Thank you so much for your review!
Date: 02/18/2009 Title: Chapter 90: 90
I'm so happy that Spike went back to Giles to get some help. And it's great that he let Buffy tell her mom about him and didn't perpetuate the misunderstanding about what happened with Faith. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I love how slowly you're taking Spike's recovery.
Author's Response: And I love hearing it. *lol* So glad you don't feel it's too slow. Thanks so much for your review!
Date: 03/02/2009 Title: Chapter 94: 94
I can't speak for anyone else's attention span, but I like for stories to be long when they need to be, and I feel like this one needed to be, so that Spike could start recovering realistically. I'm so glad that he and Buffy didn't just have magic sex that healed him instantly.
Buffy is putting her own emotions second to support Spike, and it's good Giles pointed that out. They need to be equals, a real couple. And how lucky they are starting out a relationship with a therapist! Most of us don't get help until things are going bad!
I've really enjoyed reading this story, although I'm sure you're getting a bit sick of it. But I've had a great time. Thank you!
Author's Response: I'm really glad you feel that way. Thanks for your review!

I've been one of those irritating readers who doesn't review, but I'll try to correct that now! I really like this story. It's not pleasant; it's dark, and gritty, and there's an (almost?) insurmountable age difference. But it's great to have some darkness in with all the fluff. I've got to go back and reread to recall the plot details, but there's nothing wrong with having plot, either! I think some people don't have the patience for plot, especially if there's a while between updates.
Hope things get better for you and your muse!

I don't know if I've reviewed before, but I've really been enjoying this story. Buffy's behavior is so in character, because, beyond being the Slayer, she did turn into a rather weak-willed person. And now she has to go face her parents, and we all know that won't end well! Maybe she could at least call Spike, even if she can't come see him?

Ooh, so happy to see another chapter! I feel bad for poor Will, though. I wish he'd confess, or Liam would give Buffy a clue, because otherwise he's in for some heartbreak. I also wanted to say that I'm impressed that you put William on medication for his anxiety, instead of having him just "grow out of it." Because his introversion and social problems seemed pretty serious, and deserved to be dealt with seriously. (Not a big serious plot point, but with respect, I mean.)
Date: 11/30/2008 Title: Chapter 18: Eighteen
I love this look at William and the problems he had being a bit older than Buffy! Love, love, love. I know he's already mentioned it to her in passing, but I hope he has a chance to explain himself more. Probably later, though, after the big, painful revelation? And I'm happy we're finally there, but I dread the angst and separation which will no doubt follow.
"Get a load of you, all slay-kittenish, taking on a pubful of nasties in your Friday night best. Hunting for new bedmates, are we? So soon after the last?"
She pursed her lips and squeezed her stake, fingers itching to wipe that smirk off his face. "I asked you first."

Oh, god! I loved this entire story, and the ending was absolutely perfect! So hot. And Buffy fondling her own boobs and experimenting with the creamsicle were just priceless!

This was really interesting! It hit several kinks I'm not even sure I knew I had: early Spike reluctantly helping the Slayer, her moral ambiguity in letting him, and Spike getting the feeling that he's going to be in over his head with her. Being a Spuffy romantic, I've decided that they stay together and compromise and go to Sunnydale and piss off Angel. But if you want to write a sequel, I won't be complaining!

This is super cute so far. I always like William, and love that he makes Buffy act girly and silly. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: YAY for super cute!! Thank you so very much for this review, sweetie! *hugs*
Date: 12/01/2008 Title: Chapter 3: 3
Oh, so sweet! And I loved the mix of William and Spike--Spike impulsively rebleaching his hair, and William being conscientious enough to pull out. Thanks for sharing!
Author's Response: Thank YOU, honey! I'm so very happy you liked!!! *hugs*

I guess it's a measure of the mood I'm in that I was waiting for the big letdown after Buffy had built up this perfect image of Spike in her mind. Thankfully, that didn't happen, and it stayed sweet and fluffy to the end. I adored drunk!Buffy and caretaking!Spike. It seemed like he'd built up a few fantasies about her as well-- it'd be great to see him daydreaming about making her breakfast!

Oh yeah, Drusilla's going to be pissed! And that pic is dangerously hot. Now I'm seeing Buffy as the official photographer of the demon community (weddings, ritual sacrifices)! But she'll make sure that every picture she takes of Dru is unflattering. Somehow I've turned this into a comedy in my head. Heh.

Wow, this was really hot! I'm so glad William and Buffy finally got it on. Buffy seems to be pretty experienced; are we going to find out why? (how? who?) And I can't wait for William to confess that he's only slept with Cecily before. I'm looking forward to more smut, but also to the inevitable conversation!
Author's Response: =) Glad you liked! Yep, they finally did the deed! Buffy's carnal knowledge won't be discussed lol She's had a few lovers, likes to watch her some porny goodness, and is a quick learner (when it comes to physical things) lol
The next chapter will start the morning after their night together. Sorry that the smut-a-thon had to end, but I was worn out too heehee Buffy and William will have a few important things to talk about, that's for sure ;)
Thanks for reading and reviewing, claire! I love yummy reviews *gobbles*
