Reviews For Revenant
Reviewer: loveless Anonymous Date: 10/03/2009 - 08:34 am Title: Chapter 6

ahh i luved this sequel. i really did wonder why you didn't pair the original buffy and spike together since they had shared so much with each other but you did have a valid point about them having too much bad history with each other, im really satisfied with how everything ended, in both stories. great work! ive read pretty much all of your works now and im looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Buffy2 hadn't hurt Spike1; Buffy1 hadn't hurt Spike2 and he had never tried to rape her. I wanted the slates to be clean, so that there would be no darkness between either pair. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! More coming soon as the next one's almost finished. :D

Ok I have a question. Why did it take Buffy's blood to close the portal? Glory didn't use Dawn's blood to open it so it shouldn't have required Buffy's blood to close it. Using Buffy's blood shouldn't have made a difference since it wasn't anyones blood that was used to open the portal. Unless Glory used her own blood and the blood Spike had running through him from her is what closed it. Loved the story though. I like these ones where they ina way "stick it to Angel" the self rightous pillock. At least in this on Xander was ok. I usually didn't like him much in the series he always seemed like he thought he had "dibs" on Buffy or something.

Author's Response: Glory used her own power to open the portal. Since Willow and Tara weren't strong enough to break her spell, Buffy's blood was the only way proven so far to close it. I was going with canon here on that. The combination of Buffy's and Glory's blood in Spike was what closed it. Spike could have done it with Glory's blood alone, but he couldn't be sure of that and didn't want to risk failing, so took both. It was tricky trying to stay with canon while stepping outside of it! :D I always kick Angel around a little - can't help it, he is a pillock. : ) And I'm usually hard on Xander. Like you, I don't like him at all - he really is hung up on Buffy and always ruins her relationships. But this time I thought he'd managed to learn something. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Fabulous! Just Fabulous!
Somehow I missed "Pinch Hitter"... But since it was a prequel/first in series, I went ahead and read it first, starting late last night. Then I finished up today with this one. Loved it! A unique twist, well, several, actually: the primary Buffy-swapping/stand-in, the Spike-swapping in both fics, the way you worked some of the near-requisite speeches/topics/occurrences/actions into both fics with some little tweaks, re-arranged the timing of some events without disrupting the flow of the story/villain arc/mythos, and the way the primary (and secondary as well) characters learned, processed and implemented the (pretty much hard-)learned lessons across dimensions.
It just goes to prove "Home is where the Heart is".
Your take on 'rape' was interesting and illuminating, and thought-inspiring. Well done!
Would love to see more of both pairs of Spuffies.
Thanks for such an enjoyable read!

Author's Response: Thank you for enjoying it! I wanted the two stories to match and mirror, everyone maturing. I'm so glad you liked it. That rape attempt on the show was such a set up that it got me really mad. Buffy pulls a muscle in her back and is suddenly unable to kick Spike off her? A pulled muscle? When the woman has demonstrated over the seasons that she can still kill demons after near-death experiences and deep wounds in her guts? Now she’s a poor, weak, helpless rape-victim? Yeah, right. No mention of her always saying ‘No, no, no’ to him, then when he persists always turning around and giving in enthusiastically to his ‘evil desires’. Why should he think she meant it this time? No mention either of the way she has been physically abusing him and emotionally flaying him with her scorn and disgust time and time again. As far as I’m concerned, she was raping him emotionally that whole time. If one reshot all those episodes with a man in Buffy’s role and a woman in Spike’s, they would be horrific. Someone said we would lynch such a man. But, no, Buffy is a saint and Spike will never be forgiven for trying to rape her. (Though Xander’s attempt to rape her never gets a mention. He’s a Scoob and has a soul after all.) Sorry about the rant! :D It just gets me so mad!

Your stories always bring me so much tears and so much joy. You are one of my favourite author and I have read and re-read all your stories. Thank you for sharing such beautiful emotional tales.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! I love writing Spuffy and I'm so glad you enjoy my stories!

Reviewer: Kirsty Signed Date: 09/16/2009 - 04:33 pm Title: Chapter 6

loved it :)
I especially loved the happy ending. I didn't need the explanation why Buffy2 didnät end up with this Spike, but it's a good reason.
As long as it's Spike and Buffy with a happy ending ;)

Author's Response: Some people were very vocal about having Older Buffy with Souled Spike and Younger Buffy with Unsouled Spike and were very upset at the way I wanted it. So I had to put in that explanation to show why and to balance the two stories. I'm so glad you saw why without the explanation! Thank you for liking the story!

Reviewer: JO Anonymous Date: 09/15/2009 - 08:29 pm Title: Chapter 6

Loved both fics very much!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked them.

Reviewer: Buffyconvert Anonymous Date: 09/14/2009 - 11:14 pm Title: Chapter 6

You really made a great world here with these two stories - PINCH HITTER & REVENANT. It seems the "mistakes" of the PTB (aka Joss & ME) could only be overcome by a Dreamweaver . I can think of no other dimension-hopping saga that was concluded as believably and as satisfyingly as this one.
Enjoyed Anya's socially inappropriate remarks. GREATLY enjoyed having Spike get all super powerful by consuming Glory & then busting Angel's chops!
Kudos all around!


Author's Response: Wow, thank you! Couldn't resist Spike whacking Angel when juiced or Anya saying that - it was just like her to. :D I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: sus Anonymous Date: 09/14/2009 - 03:45 am Title: Chapter 6

Good solution you came up with, to why he was sent there and not to the other Buffy. I like it very much.

Author's Response: It felt right to have the pairs end up this way, but I thought I'd better spell it out because some people wanted it the other way really badly. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: All4Spike Signed Date: 09/14/2009 - 03:14 am Title: Chapter 6

Perfect ending. I hadn't thought about it like that but you're quite right, to be completely happy, each Buffy & Spike needed a partner who didn't share the bad memories so they could heal.
The only complaint I have about this fic is that now it's finished there won't be any more... will there?

Author's Response: No, there won't. Sorry. :D These two balance each other and continuing them doesn't feel right. But I'm working on a whole new one which is proving to be fun, but which I think people will be upset about because it's not really politically correct. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you!

Reviewer: guest Anonymous Date: 09/14/2009 - 02:34 am Title: Chapter 6

Loved it. Sad that it is over.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: guest Anonymous Date: 09/14/2009 - 02:11 am Title: Chapter 6

I was a little disappointed that this Spike didn't end up with the Buffy who he got a soul for at first. But I think you did a nice job on writing why this may be better for Spike to end up with the younger Buffy. I'm just glad that this Spike got with a Buffy. I was was happy in the other story when Buffy got to be with another Spike. I was happy for Buffy since she was so sad without Spike. But i felt bad for the Spike he did so much for and changed for her. Yet, another Spike got to spend his life with her. I just made me want to cry for Spike who got a soul for her and another Spike received the loving and caring Buffy. Now that this Spike has a Buffy then I'm happy. I really wanted this Spike to have a Buffy because if anybody deserves love and happiness it is this Spike. That the scoobies except him. Really happy for Spike. Happy for this Buffy as well for getting to know how great Spike can be. She would have missed out on something wonderful. That made me feel sad for her even if she never was going to know. Like how can you miss something you never known. Happiness all around. Thanks for writing a sequel and giving this Spike a happy ending. I also loved that Spike got to hit Angel again with all the mojo he still had from having Glory's blood. Loved it. Poor Angel. Not. Back to LA Angel goes. While Spike and Buffy get it on. LOL

Author's Response: I wanted both Buffys and Spikes to have a happy ending. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Reviewer: closetgeek2000 Signed Date: 09/13/2009 - 07:48 pm Title: Chapter 6

Great chapter. What I never understood though was why Buffy had to jump if all it took was to stop the blood from flowing why not just stop the bleeding from Dawn? Why did she have to die to stop the blood? Wouldn't a bandage to stop the bleeding have done it? Or this time why couldn't Buffy had just cut her hand let some blood drip and then stop the bleeding? It just says to stop the blood it doesn't say anything about stopping the heart or dying.

Anyway loved the chapter. I do agree with you about Ben as well I mean he did nothing to stop Glory. He could have told them but he didn't. One of the easiest ways for evil to win is when people do nothing. That is what Ben did he did nothing to stop Glory and actually in a way helped by not speaking up which makes him almost if not more guilty because he knew what she was doing wat wrong. What bugs me though is about those beings that put Glory in this dimension.... what right did they have to put her here and expect us to keep her? She was their problem but they just shoved her onto someone else.

Anyway so glad Buffy and Spike worked things out and sent Angel packing ... idiot vamp that he is ... he needs to "grow up" plus 'ego much' thinking he knows best for people. Maybe he should "walk a mile" in Buffy's shoes just to see what it is like to have someone like himself and the others telling him what to do.

thx for posting off to read more

Author's Response: According to canon, only a little blood was need to open the portal, but a humongous amount to close it. Which was why Spike had to drink so much from Buffy here before he jumped. I saw Ben as an accessory too - and accessories are just as guilty as the perpetrators. And you're absolutely right - those beings had no right to put her here. Thank you for enjoying the story! I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: calli Anonymous Date: 09/13/2009 - 07:43 pm Title: Chapter 6

I enjoyed this story, and how it fit together with pinch hitter to parallel the canon. My one question: why did they need summers blood to close the portal if glory didn't use it to open the portal? Is that a silly question? It was just kind of owrrying at me as I read.

Author's Response: If Willow and Tara had been more powerful, they could have closed the portal. But they could find no other spell, and the one way they did know about was that Summers blood did close portals. So Buffy had to try. It's tricky trying to stay with canon and not at the same time! :D

Reviewer: AMI Signed Date: 09/13/2009 - 07:23 pm Title: Chapter 6

GREAT, GREAT STORY!! I loved all of it. OMG you had me almost crying when Spike sacrificed himself AGAIN. But I knew when he wasn't dust that he was OK. Everyone's happy (except Angel LOL) and accepting of S/B and they claimed each other. So beautiful and hot as always. You do Yummy claim scenes. I loved B realizing why she's with this Spike and B2 is with the other Spike. Makes perfect sense for this story.

Anya wanting to take bets at Willy's for the amount of orgasms had me LOL. Love Anya.

Thank you for sharing, I loved it! Are you writing anything else? What about the Quenya sequel? I just love all you stories so when you finish one I go into withdrawals for them. lol.

Author's Response: I've started a new one already. That Quenya sequel just refuses to gel properly - I get over a block just to find another block ambushing me. So it's on the back burner until I can get it figured out. A second long one has 3 chapters to go, but I'm all enthused at a totally new one that's shanghaied my imagination. But it's going to be so not politically correct that people might hate it! I'm so glad you liked 'Revenant'! Thank you!

Reviewer: Pam S Anonymous Date: 09/13/2009 - 06:48 pm Title: Chapter 6

You had me worried and almost in tears for a second.. Spike sacrificing himself again... and nice twist with that HellGod Blood to fool the portal..

Enjoyed..

Author's Response: He had enough of Buffy's blood in his veins to close the portal and hellgod blood to keep him safe through it. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Reviewer: cordykitten Signed Date: 09/13/2009 - 06:44 pm Title: Chapter 6

So Spike thinks the postal was opened by Glory and it is his fault that it is open? I didn't think she would have had time to do something like that, a spell. Not good.
Oh no, not good at all. Very brave of Spike, he could have get stuck.
But at last it was what Buffy needed to tell him she loved him.
I didn't see that this is already the last part. Enjoyed the update even if that means there won't be a new update for this one tomorrow.
It really worked for them, how the PTBs paired them of.
Well done.

Author's Response: Thank you! Spike would have jumped for her in canon - one could see that. And the shock of thinking he was dead made Buffy realize she loved him. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: sus Anonymous Date: 09/13/2009 - 02:05 pm Title: Chapter 5

Author's Response: Thank you!

Reviewer: annie Anonymous Date: 09/13/2009 - 12:24 pm Title: Chapter 5

ooooohhh wow... didn't see that one coming. I'm intrigued. Do continue. ;D

Author's Response: Coming up right now. :D

Reviewer: All4Spike Signed Date: 09/13/2009 - 05:24 am Title: Chapter 5

“Should have known it wasn’t going to be that easy!” groaned Spike.
Yup, he should have known. But I don't know... is this *Glory's* portal? If so, who opened it? More please....

Author's Response: He thought Glory's death would be enough. But...:D More tomorrow.

Reviewer: spuffy Anonymous Date: 09/13/2009 - 02:27 am Title: Chapter 5

a portal???
well now im all curious !!!
cant wait for the next chppie

Author's Response: Thank you! It'll be up tomorrow.

Reviewer: AMI Signed Date: 09/12/2009 - 11:36 pm Title: Chapter 5

Wow...great chapter. I loved the Spike/Glory fight and how Spike drained Glory enough to get Ben. I may be evil, cause I don't care Ben died , it had to be done. I don't think he was so innocent. He knew what Glory was up to and did NOTHING to stop her. Angel is annoying as usual. I do like this Giles, tho. So funny how he just laughed when Spike flung Angel thru the air. LOL Yeah, I'm sure Giles hates Angel with a passion.

Buffy is pissing me off a little tho. By her logic if they had a chance to kill Hitler or something ,she wouldn't do it cause he's human, even tho it'd save millions of people? That's stupid. I hope she thinks long and hard and not come down on Spike like a bitch on wheels.

Loved it. Can't wait to see how it ends. =)

Author's Response: I think that way too. Ben knew about Glory and went along with her, which makes him an accessory and accessories are just as guilty as the perpetrators and deserve the same fate. But canon always has this 'humans are sacred because they have a soul' attitude. I'm so glad you're liking it! Last chap up tomorrow.

Reviewer: closetgeek2000 Signed Date: 09/12/2009 - 10:55 pm Title: Chapter 5

Cool update. Jeez those people need to get over that whole "he doesn't have a soul crap" yes I know this Spike does have a "soul" or what humans consider a soul. But I think he had a "demon soul" before that. I mean come on when Dru and Spike brought the Judge "back to life" one of the first things he said was that Dru & Spike 'stank of humanity and that they shared love" of soemthing close to that so Angel and his stupid "can't love you" crap is stupid. It is Angel and couldn't love without them stuffing a human soul in that body to keep the demon in check. I sometimes feel bad for that soul stuck with that demon for enternity.... kind of mean if you ask me to force a soul like that. I know that Spike has a human soul too but he earned his and I don't think his soul is suffering like Angel's that was forced on him. Besides this whole 'kill Dawn' stuff from Angel I think Buffy should have staked Angel or at least beat the crap out of him. She never does that and I think she really should for once all she does is talk and then her and Spike claim each other and then on one can do anything just once I would love for her to beat the crap out of one of those peole that is objecting and this time it is Angel and he so needs a beat down. As for Buffy getting upset about what Spike did well she has to start thnking about what she is fighting is she fighting demons or is she fighting evil?

Jeez I sure did babble alot *sorry* its just when I really like a story I get kind of "into" things... LOL I really like all of your stories that I have read so far.

Author's Response: Hey, babble, babble! I love it! I'd love to really kick Angel around, but the Angel fans would flay me alive, which is why I only put him down verbally. You should have seen how Xander fans protested when I dumped on Xander in 'Running Wild' - they called me a bad writer and worse! :D I'm so glad you like my stories! Thank you! I love writing them.

Reviewer: Naurolim Anonymous Date: 09/12/2009 - 10:34 pm Title: Chapter 5

OK you are officially the best and worst author!!

You know I love your stories and the fact that they are never a real WIP. Your characterisations are still great and you are creating a really interesting story in its own right (not just a tag on to the other one) but for crying out loud did you have to leave us with that cliff hanger!!!!! LOL

Anyway I loved the update and guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow for an update - throws a Buffy pout your way.

Author's Response: Couldn't resist the cliffie! :D Sorry! I usually avoid sequels just because they seem just a tag on the first one. But this one had a life of its own. I'm so glad you like it! Thank you! I don't do real WIPs because I hate to leave people hanging. So I don't start putting the story up until it's complete.

Reviewer: guest Anonymous Date: 09/12/2009 - 07:34 pm Title: Chapter 5

Poor Spike. He killed Glory/Ben because he knew if he didn't Buffy would die. He did what he had to do for the woman he loves. Knowing that he may lose that woman because of it. Now, that is what you call love. He risk losing her to save her life. I giggled when Spike hit Angel and sent flying. That was awesome. Giles laughing over it too was great. Spike should have hit Angel a couple more of times. I'm terrible like that. Love the way Spike defended Dawn to Angel. Nobody messes with his Niblet. I'm going to feel so sad for Spike if he loses Buffy after all he did for her. What is going on now with glory's portal?

Author's Response: Spike really loves - unconditionally and unselfishly. And I couldn't resist having him hit Angel like that with that extra strength. :D Thank you for liking it!

Reviewer: Brett Anonymous Date: 09/12/2009 - 07:03 pm Title: Chapter 5

Oh...Shit. What is going on? Why isn't anything ever easy.

By the way...I love the way you had Spike defeat Glory. I love how you did it.

Author's Response: I always wondered why Spike didn't bite Glory when he and Buffy were fighting her. I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!
