Bio:
You all know my lovely lover, Spike, and his alter ego James Marsters. Everybody thinks he's in love with Buffy, but truth is that he's not. He's in love with me. He tells me so every night. Honest. I think I'm going to write Spike/Me from now on.

But then, nobody would read it. So I guess i'll stick with Spuffy. =/

How's that for a bio?

Ugh, and i thought MY mother was a bitch. I can't believe she'd be so closed-minded as to actually cast off her own daughter... great chapter. I'm glad Buffy & Spike are sticking to it no matter what... and that they have Giles and Dawn's support.

So, I've followed this fic from when you started it until now and I really appreciate it that you've finished it. The ending was ... short and a little abrupt, but I can see why you kind of left it up in the air. It gives it a nice, hopeful feel and leaves a lot of room for interpretating.

The only thing I had a problem with is the way you wrote the last two chapters. Don't get me wrong, you're an AMAZING writer... I think I've read every single one of your stories and have never been disappointed. I just thought it was a little bit inconsistent with the rest of the story. You always paid so much attention to the moment and drew us into their relationship, whereas in the last few chapters, I felt like I couldn't really get into it. It felt kind of... empty.

But other than that, this has been one of my favorite stories and it's been an incredibly fun read.

So whenever I'm feeling upset, or need something to perk me up... I read this story. It's so good. I really love your style, the way you portray your character until the reader gets to really know them... it's really great.

Summary: Life can be difficult when you are fifteen years old with a baby and few options. Fortunately Buffy Summers is a resourceful girl. Spuffy. All human AU in Four Parts. It's a high school fic with actual high school coming up in Parts Two thru Four. This is a very long saga and will be completed. NOTE: The ratings and warnings I am giving for this story do not represent the entire story - they allow for occasional forays into difficult subjects, but most chapters do not dwell there. It's not a fluffy story, but it is not unrelentingly grim. Like life, it flows among the highs and lows. IMPORTANT: Although Parts One and Two are mostly R content, beginning in Part Three the story will move into more NC-17 territory. ‘The Song Remains the Same’ consists of Parts One and Two. When we move into Part Three it will start a new posted ‘story’ as Parts One and Two are quite long enough on their own. Winner of 'Judge's Pick' in Round 11 of Spuffy Awards and Winner of Best Fantasy Angst and Best Fantasy Author in Round 12 of the Spuffy Awards. Warnings: Adult Language, Buffy/Other (past), Rape (referenced), Sexual Situations, Spike/Other (past), Violence.

Author's Response: So, do you remember Kralik then? I thought I'd given something away but so far no one reviewing seems to recall him.... :-) Thanks for your kind words. I actually thought this chapter would wind up being a throwaway transitional one - it's still transitional - but it took on a life of it's own in the second draft. *g*

NO! nononononono! You know, i've never really ever hated Angel after all the fics i've read and I never even disliked him after watching Buffy.... but right now, i'd like to pound his big, prominent-foreheaded forehead into a stupid brick wall. gah. So... Spike'll be the big bad rebel that he is, come in at some untimely time, see Buffy, they'll make with the 'OMG I LOVE YOUS' and then she'll kick Angel where it hurts, right? Becuase that would be totally cool. Anyways... update soon! I really like it so far.
