perfect name for their child...perfectly beautiful story... I absolutely love this story so much, so glad i found it! Thanx so much!
Wow, you've been busy! Thank you for the wonderful reviews... I will go back and reply to the others when I have a little more time. I am very glad you enjoyed this fic.
It was one of my first fics and it is nice to know people still enjoy it. (even if it makes ME cringe when I look at it! lol...not the story...just my writing)

LOL, great bloody fic, but wasn't Angel Dust part of the challenge??? I'm sure I had to have said that????
LOL...no, I believe you neglected to specify that! I'm glad you still enjoy it pup! *hugs*

Sorry, I really disliked the ending. I was hanging on every word until Spike was convinced his anger and betrayal was manufactured. Up till then, it was an angsty role reversal story. Then it all went downhill, becoming mindless and fluffy. The loose threads were forcibly burned and tied together without art. It was obvious that you just wanted the story over and done with.
Thank you for reading and reviewing. I am sorry that you feel that my planned plot line was rushed. I am sure in an archive of this size you will be able to find something that entertains you.

Ohhh. That was really good. I was wondering when the the baby part would come up. When buffy was in her little trances and Spike told her that she had to keep going and that he had seen her, she was beautiful, I just couldn't wait for them to have the baby. I kind wished it was sooner though. Anyway, really good story.

Wow... Buffy being 'love's bitch' for once was just... AWESOME. There's no other way to describe it. This story was one of the best I've read in a while. And I'm so marrying someone with the last name Prescott so I can name my daughter Billie. I love it!

at first i was disappointed and going ok that is so not spike...spike loves buffy to death literally lol then it made sense and i'm glad it did...stupid powers that be are always messing with lives that should be left alone...poor spike but was happy to find out that he really did always love buffy and that it wasn't false emotions implanted into his heart....really liked the description of the wedding and i'm thrilled that everyone learned to accept and be friends with spike in the end...awww and they had a baby so awesome fic...spuffilicious

Enjoyed the story. Always nice to see Spike get what he deserves. "Billie Elizabeth", where did that come from?

wow - this was one beautiful little story. i love your writing style. happy ending bonus! now - if you read this, could you please tell me what geas means? it is not in the dictionary. the online dictionary led me to an acronym finder which says geas means "gamma energy analysis system" and i KNOW that is not applicable to this story. or is it? at any rate - beautiful story - thank you for writing it!

ahhh how wonderful! I love weddings *sniff*
 
jl1980Chapter 902/11/2006 11:10 am
that brought tears to my eyes, how sweet! Buffy and Spike married! I love it!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it... yeah married and mated... it seemed fitting somehow.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 806/27/2006 03:50 pm
interfering powers! How could they! Of course Spike was going to pass. *growls at powers*

Up to this point the story was good enough to reread a second time. From this point on, it's not worth reading once.

There're reasons why Deus Ex is deprecated in literature. It sucks. But more than that, I despise The Powers That Fuck With You.

I especially despise anyone who fucks with your life and then claims to be doing it for your own good, like Giles did. The Powers' doing so to satisfy their own curiosity is just as bad.

At this point in the story, I imagine a Spike of principle who vows bloody vengeance on the Powers. Vows to expend the Earth if that's necessary to snuff them out. Because Good vs Evil is less important than Humans vs Gods.

Incidentally, Giles didn't try to kill Spike out of love for Buffy. He did it out of mistrust for her judgement and lack of respect for her instincts. What a perverse kind of love!

I would actually have far more respect for Giles if he didn't claim he was doing it for Buffy, but rather sacrificing her lover for his own uses. At least then he would have integrity.
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the fic up to this point even if the ending wasn't to your liking. I can see where you are coming from, and yes that would have made a very interesting story too... but what I wrote was what I had planned out right from the start when plotting this fic... and I wanted the happy ending for them... and the ending is very much hinted at in the prologue.

As I said I am glad you enjoyed it to this point and if you would like to imagine your alternate ending to give you better closure be my guest. LOL.
 
jl1980Chapter 802/11/2006 11:04 am
awwww...that's so sweet, and a very good explanation for what the Powers were doing...I'm so glad he actually loves her for real, i knew he did, i knew it! *bouncing up and down excited* love this story
Thank you! Yeah, course he loved her... it IS Spike. I'm so pleased that you liked the idea (that was all mine *pokes tongue at Wulfie*)
 
AthenewolfeChapter 706/27/2006 03:47 pm
AHHH this is getting back to normal loving spike - worried about her eating ...
 
jl1980Chapter 702/11/2006 10:58 am
ok he is sooo starting to feel for her again, even though he doesn't realize it yet!! This story is so incredibly awesome...it's nice to see the flip side of the show..Buffy desperately trying to win *Spike's* love!! I love it!
Thank you! I am so glad you like it! Although the pup has to take credit for the idea... it is afterall one of HIS challenges *sigh*.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 606/27/2006 03:46 pm
ohh lovely chapter - bout time he realized he shouldn't be so angry! great update!
 
jl1980Chapter 602/11/2006 10:55 am
Spike and Buffy as friends was always a good thing even if they couldnt manage it for long>>>i love that he"s finally being kind to her after all that time but my heart is breaking for her still because he doesn"t love her>>>on to the next chapter
Yes, they always did make such good friends, if only they had been allowed to continue as friends in season 6 and work towards a healthy relationship *kicks Joss*
 
AthenewolfeChapter 506/27/2006 03:45 pm
Shakes head more - poor poor Buffy!
 
jl1980Chapter 502/11/2006 10:44 am
THAT was heartbreaking!! I feel so bad for both of them! In a way thought all he just did was what she did to him over and over in season six i really hope they can work through all this hurt and finally be together
Oh, heartbreaking is good! *EG* It was afterall my aim! Thank you for reviewing!!
 
AthenewolfeChapter 406/27/2006 03:44 pm
Wonderful chapter - I feel so sorry for Buffy. She had finally admitted her love in a somewhat normal situation and he flings it back on her. Poor slayer!
 
jl1980Chapter 402/11/2006 10:41 am
i think he's in major denial...he still cares...poor Buffy, i kind of feel bad for her but at the same time this feels right...she should have to earn his love after all the time he loved her and she just hurt him...i love this story! on to the next chapter!
Walking a mile in someone else's shoes can be a very humbling and enlightening experience... I guess Buffy is doing a little learning.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 306/27/2006 03:41 pm
Poor Buffy - I feel so strongly for her! great chapter sweetie!
 
jl1980Chapter 302/11/2006 10:35 am
oh my gosh....poor Buffy...i feel bad for her, even though i totally understand why Spike would do that...on to next chapter, can't wait to see how you make it right
Thank you. Yes, Buffy is hurting a lot right now.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 206/27/2006 03:36 pm
Poor Spike and Buffy - she is longing for him and he thinks he doesn't love her anymore. This is just as excellant as read the second time around as it was the first!
 
jl1980Chapter 202/11/2006 10:32 am
wow...that' intense...it makes me sad that he doesn't love Buffy anymore...but it's true that he mostly treated him like crap...maybe they need to start over completely like this...hmmm...on to the next chapter
She certainly DID treat him like shit.. you know what they say, you don't know what you've got til it's gone.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 106/27/2006 03:29 pm
Oh very good chapter! I cant wait to see what happens when Buffy tracks down Spike!
 
jl1980Chapter 102/11/2006 10:29 am
hmmm...will he still *need* blood? or regular people food? and i wonder what it will mean, that he *had* to love Buffy before, and now he doesn't? very interesting...on to next chapter
Thank you for reviewing!
 
AthenewolfePrologue06/27/2006 03:27 pm
Oh how sad... Poor Buffy, she is so alone in her grief and it doesn't seem that anyone even cares that Spike is gone.
 
jl1980Prologue02/11/2006 10:25 am
awww...that just about brought me to tears...so sweet and beautiful...where is he going?
Thank you!
 
JewelPrologue09/22/2005 01:03 am
i loved that buffy finally knew what it felt like to be in spike's shoes.as that old saying goes what goes around comes around. i really think she should've suffered a little more but sadly spike always was loves bitch especially where buffy was concerned. excellant story.
