Summary: Christmas story. Inspired by the movie Prime, but not very similar to it. Buffy is seeing a therapist, who encourages her to take some risks.

I loved this--so funny and sweet. I'm just sorry the story ends. Thanks for posting.
Summary: Buffy thinks Spike is dust and has, reluctantly, agreed to marry a shanshued Angel. So, why, the closer the wedding gets, does it seem like a worse and worse idea? And who asked the band to play Wind Beneath my Wings?

The whole wedding program consists of Barry Manilow songs?! I pretty sure that constitutes reasonable grounds for canceling the wedding. Nicely paced chapter, with the build-up to Buffy's realization, the closing door, Angel making sure all his worst qualities are on display--there's a lot here to enjoy.
Author's Response: I don\'t really dislike Angel - but he just wanted to be such a jerk in this fic!

Oh, thank goodness, Buffy is facing reality and owning up to her feelings. And don't you just want to slap Spike upside his head for waiting three years? Three years!
Author's Response: Spike is a dope. :)

WOW! Kudos to Buffy for getting the sub-text of Angel's speech (that he doesn't really love her). I continue to be impressed with the fast clip of this story--nothing extraneous, but still full of incident and characterization. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. :)

Great last chapter. You kept the roller-coaster zooming--some suspense, some ass-kicking, some banter, and our two heroes got each other. Sigh. I just love it when that happens.
Author's Response: Thanks. I\'m glad you enjoyed the whole fic. :)
Summary: Off canon from Something Blue. Buffy and Spike begin to see each other differently, and it changes the course of everything.

You're really tweaking the canon on this one. I first noticed it in the previous chapter, when Buffy doesn't care about her friends' reactions. And now look--Willow's been kicked out of the house. You go, gitl!

Fun! Dawn's attitude and its changes were nicely drawn, and Spike's response showed that he deserves the love of both girls.
Summary: Sequel to 'He's not my valentine'. ALL HUMAN Buffy's POV of the night, and Spike.

Really funny--I enjoyed this!
Summary: The last one in my short Valentines Day series.
Spikes POV of the nights events.
If you haven't read the other two this one won't make masses of sense!

Wonderful end to a cute little series. Thanks for posting it!
Summary: Follows two Schmoop bingo ficlets (Not Tonight, Honey and Taming the Devil) in which Spike has come to Sunnydale in early S4, but to find Buffy, not the Gem. They find they have an attraction that neither one had been willing or able to see before. This much longer fic deals with how they determine if and unsouled, unchipped vampire and Heaven's Chosen One will be able to have a relationship.

I enjoyed this--snappy dialogue, some intriguing twists, and characters who weren't fossilized into cliches of themselves. I ended this one with a grin on my face, and that's a pretty good place to be. Thanks for writing and posting
Author's Response: I\'m glad I could make you smile. :)

Post-Season 5, an alternate reality take on Season 6, but not so crazy-alternate that anyone's unrecognisable. Starts with strong Spike and Dawn friendship, and builds from there. Just lots of small tweaks that pack a punch - like the odd bit of honest communication amongst the Scoobies.
Be warned, Buffy is dead until Chapter 5, and the rating is mostly intended for later in the story.
This story is still being updated: expect new chapters every month-ish.
Runner Up for Best Angst in round 30 of the SunnyD Awards.

I've been reading Spuffy fics for a lo-o-ong time. And just when I'm ready to call it quits--all the plots are running together in a big blob of similarity, all the characters are cliches--someone (or a few someones) starts posting fics that are fresh, with surprising plots, and characters who are multi-dimensional and drive the story.
Thank you for being one of those people. My world has regained its Spuffy haze because of your writing.
You know what's a real bitch, though? Waiting for the next chapter. (Damn! I guess some people are never satisfied!)
Seriously, though, thank you. I love the fic and am looking forward to the next installment, whenever that is. 😘
Author's Response:
Thanks so much!
This is such a rich and longrunning fanfiction community, I never really expected anyone to notice me. I'm still a little in awe....
I am updating roughly every week, so you shouldn't have too long to wait.
