Title: Chapter 2: Confrontations
sounds like a good read - an alternative to Buffy listening to Xander's Run After Him baloney - particularly since we know how insightful he is with the wedding that almost was.

Title: Prologue: The Truth Hurts
Glad to have a story about these events - I always disliked the way that Riley put all that pressure on Buffy. Also, while it was very much in character for Spike at this time - I always felt that JM played it so right. Spike was such a blockhead with his smirk at Riley and his lack on understanding that Buffy was not going to be appreciative of his showing what her boy friend was getting into. Spike did the right thing in showing her because things could so easily have gone to hell had Riley been turned.

Title: Chapter 7: The Battle and Its Rewards
I really enjoyed this wonder-novel. Except for a little bit of odd grammar, it is an excellent piece. Buffy was at her heroic best, unlike some of the dopey things she "really" did during the Glory days.
Keep writing!
Author's Response: Thanks so much.
I hope you enjoy some of my other stories. I'm working with a beta now so hopefully things have a bit less of the odd grammar.
Thanks so much for the review. It's encouraging to see someone enjoying my stories :)

What Giles did was necessary - the only way to prevent Glory from coming back.
I liked Buffy's decision (at the end) to share the orbs with Spike - this way he can get into the sun without hurting.
Author's Response: I realy liked that to. She could have kept them and been all powerful but instead she allowed Spike to be free to walk in the sun and to be her equal. It was actually one of my favorite parts of the story.

Title: Chapter 5: Unexpected Assistance
Mmmh the orbs sound promising. Maybe Buffy won't have to die this time.
Author's Response: The orbs do sound very promising. Buffy dying was always so sad. I think it royally screwed her up too.

Telling the others went well (what happened to Riley). Let's hope it stays this way.
Author's Response: Yea sometimes her friends are unpredictable. You just never know with them...

Title: Chapter 1: The Dark Side
Good that Buffy noticed what Riley did.
Author's Response: I was also disappointed in the story that she never did get to see the true colors of Riley. He was rather mean and hateful. She just accepted some of what he did turning the other cheek even though what he did was wrong.
That's what motivated me to write this fiction. I figured if Riley's true colors were seen, perhaps Buffy might be more willing to act on those feelings she seemed to be harboring still for Spike.

Title: Prologue: The Truth Hurts
You posted too quickly for me to catch up - planning to do this now.
Author's Response: Sorry. On stories I do on my own with no beta, I try to update weekly a few chapters at a time. When it's betaed I just do what they give me. This was unbetaed so it was fast uploading.

Title: Prologue: The Truth Hurts
ooppss...my mistake--i just realized i already read Kidnapped...just waiting for the sequel :) .. now, i gotta start reading this new fic of yours :) .
Author's Response: Yea kidnapped sequel got started but then I got lost in the wonderful world of a remake of season 6 and into season 7 which is taking up ALOT of my free time since it's a bit more complicated than I thought. It is fun to write so far though. Once I get to a non-moving point or at least through season 6, I'll pop back to the sequel to Kidnapped. I just needed a break to think of how I wanted to handle the baby and what direction I wanted to take the fiction. But I promise I'll work on it soon!

Author's Response: Wow I just realized I didn't reply to these reviews yet. I'm glad you enjoy my stories. I just updated another story I've been working on. I hope you get a chance to read it. I had tons of fun writing it. It's power of a wish.

great story, i loved it, it made me smile a lot in every chapter
Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed it! I was posting something because my other stories were being beta-ed and I wanted to make sure you guys have something fun to read. I'm glad I made you smile. Thanks for the compliment!

The story itself is really sweet. :) I echo what the others said about the editing and the quick pace of it. But I just want to tell you that I think it's great that you wrote this. A lot of people don't even attempt to write, and with a little polishing up in the spelling/revision department, this would be a little easier to read. I enjoyed it!
Author's Response: Thanks, I didn't mean to be mean in my last review to the no-namer. I guess I'm just a tad frustrated in the troubles of finding a beta. Thanks for the compliment. I enjoy writing. I'm mostly new to it. I only started writing fanficiton a few months ago and I wasn't actually planning to publish anything. I was mostly doing it for myself but I figured if someone else enjoys it, I should share. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully one of the two betas I'm working with now, will turn out to have time and be a great help so I can belt out the stories I have in waiting. Thanks for reviewing!

i tried to get through this, but your writing needs a lot of work. you really should have this beta read.
Author's Response: Well as I said in my note to you guys, this was a story written because I have two betas who haven't gotten back to me yet. So I was being nice and posting a little quick story to give something for people to read. I did write in my note it was un-beta-ed. I guess I could have put that on every chapter but I didn't think it was necessary. As I said in the note, it will be a while before it gets beta-ed because I have two others working on other stories that are much longer and more intense than this that took me only a day to write up. Sorry.

Really nice plot, but you some parts of the story went too quickly (like the battle scenes).
BTW, the part with Buffy and Spike eating each others' food was really cute!
Author's Response: Thanks for the compliment. Yeah i was making the story today pretty much because I'm waiting for stuff to eventually someday to be beta-ed. Unfortunately since I have to find a beta and then wait on them, it takes a while. So I sat today and wrote up the story just to be able to post something and because I was having fun with the idea of Buffy really seeing what Riley was like. Sorry about the quick battle scenes. Usually I give an attempt at them but this time I didn't. Glad you still liked it though.
