Okay, this is going to sound really lame, but I'm a grammar fanatic, and one of my pet peeves is all the fanfic writers who use sunk as the past tense of the verb sink instead of the correct sank. You're one of the very few to use it correctly. Bravo!

Author's Response: I think I may be a grammar fanatic myself :D I check obsessively for spelling typos and grammar mistakes. I’m so glad you think I’m doing it right. A couple of my own pet peeves are ‘lightening’ for ‘lightning’ or the use of ‘decimated’ for ‘annihilated’ as in ‘the entire army was totally decimated with no one left’ - because to ‘decimate’ means to destroy one in ten, so there would always be nine out of the ten standing. I’ve seen both mistakes even in newspapers where there should be no excuse.

Omg love this!!!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you!

Can I just say, that you are most likely my most favorite writer on this site, I absolutely ADORE everything you've written, and everything this story is just completely makes my spuffy-shipping heart happy.
The entire scene with Spike, Whistler, Buffy, and Angel, just perfect.


Author's Response: Thank you! I'm a hopeless romantic and I wanted to show everyone that Spike was so much more a better man even when he was evil than Angel was when he was good, and I wanted Buffy to express that to him and to Angel. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: behind blue eyes Anonymous Date: 08/27/2010 - 12:02 am Title: Chapter 10

Loved this story, read straight through. Would have loved Joss' world going this way. Thanks for sharing

Author's Response: I always thought that even an evil Spike would have been so much more helpful for Buffy than Angel. Thank you for liking it!

Reviewer: pixiecorn Signed Date: 02/25/2010 - 11:14 pm Title: Chapter 10

I really enjoyed this twist to how the season would have gone if Angel and Spike had switched places :):)



Author's Response: I kept thinking how much better it would have been for Buffy if Angel had never shown, so I thought I'd write how I thought it might have gone. :D I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Reviewer: kimberly l Anonymous Date: 11/25/2009 - 01:22 pm Title: Chapter 10

Awesome!

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

Reviewer: Esther Anonymous Date: 08/12/2009 - 03:30 am Title: Chapter 10

This is one of the best Spuffy stories that I've ever read, which is saying a lot because I've been reading Spuffy fics since S4 of the show. I went through all of the emotions and in the end, cried from the beauty of their love for each other. This is simply...perfect.

I hope you don't mind my recommending it to my friends, I think they'd love it as much as I do. Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you so much for reminding me how much I truly love Spike and Buffy.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! Please do recommend it! I'm honored! I love Buffy and Spike and that dynamic between them, and I can't resist writing stories about them. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Reviewer: Ladytink_534@yahoo.com Anonymous Date: 07/19/2009 - 01:40 am Title: Chapter 10

Oh you made me cry! This really is the way it should have been and it really makes much more sense this way too.

Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted to show how much better Spike would have been for Buffy even at his most evil than Angel was in canon at his most good. :D

Reviewer: alison cantrell Anonymous Date: 07/10/2009 - 11:23 am Title: Chapter 10

that was completely brilliant. wonderful attention to detail, nice change of costume for halloween - much more fun than what happened in Angel's timeline! really good outcome. love it.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! I wanted to show that Spike at his most evil would be better and more helpful to Buffy than Angel ever was in canon. And I couldn't resist the vamp costume on Halloween! So much fun! :D

I've pulled this one up several times on my desktop to read and something would happen--- Windows crashed, or I fell asleep, the puter shut down and I lost everything on the desktop, etc... but I kept going back and pulling it up, meaning to read it. FINALLY, today, I DID! And I LOVED it. Very well done! Lovely sweet ending. Didn't expect the return of Angelus, but was nicely woven into the storyline, bringing in his "return" (and his accompanying obnoxiousness! That perv!) a bit earlier than it did, more or less, in the time frame or the "show", the "other timeline". Was great to see both him and Whistler get an ass-waxing by the PTB, and taken down a peg. Poor LA... hope they keep a tighter leash on him there this time, 'cos they're only letting him have extra time to screw things up! Love the idea of Buffy NOT being permanently damaged and scarred by Angel(us). I loved the initial Buffy of S1 and even S2., and in bits in S3...tho' the damage was done to a degree, and the final pegs nailed in @ the end of S3 with the betrayals and abandonment--- things that would NOT happen to her with Spike! Would love to see a continuation of this, your twist as the seasons more or less unfolded, to see how you would tackle some of the major points that occur, such as Faith (would love to see Joyce take her in), Ring of Amara, Riley, Initiative, Glory, Dawn, and so on... Loved the fact that Joyce accepted her daughter's duty (and wasn't living as a drunk on the river in Egypt), the mention of Pike (and his departure), Willow being on board, Spike's handling of his minions and the rules he set forth, that this Spike used his BRAIN, and tho' impetuous & impulsive, he was capable of tactical planning and foresight, and loved that he trained Buffy for whatever reason. Always love to also see his inner William, that vulnerable side to Spike. Tho' I missed the B-movie cheeseiness of Spike having a crypt, seriously having an apartment made tons more sense. Would still love to have seen your take on "Band Candy" hijinks, with Jenny included in the mix. Loved that she, too, survived, a positive change resulting from Angel(us)'s untimely and lovely demise... and one that would undoubtedly trickle downhill into Willow-land, possibly and probably causing many a mishap not to occur.
Seriously, WOULD love to see your twist on more in this 'Verse. Your Spuffy pairing was fun, intriguing, loving and lovely, and, let's face it---there is enough angst in real-life that it's a relief sometimes to just enjoy a pleasant adventure with truly loving characters!
Thanks so very much for the enjoyable read today, as I read it straight through (except for a bit of a nap I caught in there) and enjoyed every second of reading it.
Hopefully looking for more, and at least, more from you. Will rec this fic in future!

Author's Response: I wanted to show that Spike, even at his most evil, would have been more useful and less damaging to Buffy than Angel was in canon. And I could never understand canon's insistence that Spike doesn't use his brain. The man kept himself and Dru alive for 120 years - that's implies a lot of ruthlessness and smarts. 'Harsh Light of Day' showed a Spike who dealt effectively with his minions and worked steadily towards his goal. Yes, he's impatient, but not incapable of thought. I think the crypt thing was because Spike was chipped and couldn't afford an apartment. Here he could and I thought if Angel could rent one, so could Spike. Continuing the story is possible but tricky without the emotional suspense. It'll need some thought. I presently working on a sequel to 'Running Wild' and finding even that difficult. Sequels scare me! I'm so glad you liked the story! I was worried precisely because it was so close to canon!

Reviewer: yubi Anonymous Date: 05/25/2009 - 05:37 pm Title: Chapter 10

i absolutely luved this story! i laughed hard the first time buffy and angel met, lol. i read it all in one go, great job!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I never understood why Buffy didn't know he was a vamp and didn't just dust him when he was being so coy about it. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: sister cuervo Anonymous Date: 05/21/2009 - 06:52 am Title: Chapter 10

What a well-written story! Great characterization & dialogue and such a twisty-good plot. Superb.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I wanted to have fun with an evil Spike and how he would always be more useful to Buffy than Angel ever was in canon! I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: Kaylorin Anonymous Date: 05/18/2009 - 10:03 pm Title: Chapter 10

Well.. that was certainly something. I loved it!!!!

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

Reviewer: Lenox Anonymous Date: 05/17/2009 - 08:40 pm Title: Chapter 10

What a STORY!!! Wonderful description of Spike!!!! and a marvellous Hot Story!!!! Thanks so much for writing it!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you for liking it! I wanted to show both sides of Spike and that, even at his most evil, he was better and more effective than Angel. :D

Reviewer: tinkerbell Anonymous Date: 05/17/2009 - 05:49 pm Title: Chapter 10

This story was awesome. Chapter 10 especially had me in suspense. I thought maybe you'd go in a different direction, indeed changing time and Angel being with Buffy (shudder at the thought). But you didnt' and am so happy with how the story ended. Loved it!!!!!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I wanted to show how much better Spike would have been than Angel, right from the beginning. And being a hardcore Spuffy girl, I'd never let Buffy end up with anyone but Spike! :D I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: spuffy chick Signed Date: 05/17/2009 - 03:44 pm Title: Chapter 10

WOW! what a great story! i stayed-up late 'til 4am 'coz i couldn't stop :D ...i enjoyed it so much! thanks! any sequel? :)

Author's Response: Oh, wow! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! No sequel, because it feels finished somehow. But I'm working on a new one right now and hope to have it up soon.

Reviewer: Rose Anonymous Date: 05/17/2009 - 05:41 am Title: Chapter 10

This ending was so perfectly satisfying. Your reality is so much better than the one that was supposed to be.

Got a deep thrill during the claim , I just love the idea of Spike and Buffy belonging to each other for eternity.

But I will miss your update ! Another part would have been delightful. LOL I'm greedy.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tale!


Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I really wanted to show how much better Spike would have been than Angel! I too love the idea of Spike and Buffy linked forever, which is why I kee putting in the claim. I'm working on another story right now and hope to have it up soon. I hope you'll enjoy that as well!

Reviewer: Jenn Anonymous Date: 05/16/2009 - 08:49 pm Title: Chapter 10

This is the best story i have ever read in my life. I wish this is how the show would have went instead. you did a awesome job with this story and i'm sorry to see it end so soon. I wish there was more.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. I wish canon had gone this way too! I'm working on my next story right now and hope to have it up soon.

Reviewer: AMI Anonymous Date: 05/16/2009 - 08:26 pm Title: Chapter 10

WOW!! This story was amazing. I loved the end...boy Angel and Whistler are really dense, they were willing to put Buffy thru Hell, just cause Angel was supposed to be the one to help her. And didn't he do a great job at that? Idiots the both of them. Loved the difference between Spike and Angel and you showed it perfectly.
Loved Buffy saying Angel was a perv cause he was into her when she was barely 15 LOL .And so true.

LOVED it, Thank you for writing it. :)

Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I really wanted to show how much better Spike would have been than Angel. And that bit with him falling for her at 15 and watching her with that lollipop bothered me. I'm glad you agree! Next story will be up soon, with any luck.

Reviewer: cordykitten Signed Date: 05/16/2009 - 08:10 pm Title: Chapter 10

Oh it's already finished... no more updates. I'll miss it.

I'm glad to see Buffy so fiercely stand up for Spike. Whistler had trouble to argue against it. :)
Asking for a second opinion was never a better idea. :D
Very good that the PTBs seem to have some common sense.
It was the right time for the claim now that Buffy could at last acknowledge that she loves Spike.

You may never want to change partners again. Indeed, never again :)

~ Loved to read your new story; sad to see it end.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! Working on the next one right now and hope to have it up soon.

Reviewer: Rose Anonymous Date: 05/16/2009 - 09:08 am Title: Chapter 9

Oh wonderful twist !
I'm on the edge of my seat! Loved the chapter .:)

Author's Response: Angel did come back in canon, so...:D

Reviewer: Rainey Anonymous Date: 05/15/2009 - 11:36 pm Title: Chapter 9

What? I'm so lost! I know that I shouldn't doubt you, that you'll come back and shock the hell out of me with some amazing twist... but I'm so sad right now. Haha.

Author's Response: Angel comes back in canon, so...And this isn't the way it was supposed to go, right? :D

Reviewer: AMI Anonymous Date: 05/15/2009 - 08:45 pm Title: Chapter 9

Oh this is so sad! No, no, no, no they can't take Spike away from Buffy and replace him with Angel. God, I HATE him, the stupid ,sanctimonious jerk. I can just see the smirk on his stupid face when he says the name's Angel now and I'm on the side of light. AAAAGH.
I love Joyce in this story and Willow is acting like a true friend, and Xander is a jealous twit like usual.

I hope Spike kicks Whistler's ass like she threatened on the show.hahahah.

I can't wait for more, you have to fix it!! :)

Author's Response: I couldn't resist the evil cliffhanger and Angel does come back in canon, so... I'm so glad you like it!

Reviewer: cordykitten Signed Date: 05/15/2009 - 06:01 pm Title: Chapter 9

Oh you're almost two hours earlier to update. But I'm not complaining. :))
Fun in a way that Spike is afraid of Joyce *gg*.
Uh-huh... they didn't have much time till Giles found out. It's good to know that at last Jenny seems to be supportive of Spike helping.
Good that Spike thought ahead; I didn't think he would bring Xander along. That could have gone wrong. Clever too with the thrall because Giles wouldn't have given up easily.

Awe :) You're my mentor and you are my best friend. Spike grows on one, huh? Step for step he wormed his way in Buffy's heart. Even if still she doesn't know what it is what she feels.
Heh :) I like the way Willow thinks too.

Evil cliffhanger... silly (blind) PTBs. I hope Buffy will tell the PTBs what she thinks of it (if they don't take her memory away).
Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: I thought Jenny being a witch and a gypsy and so for both reasons an outsider, would see Spike clearly and think outside the box. Couldn't resist the cliffhanger! :D
