LouChapter Forty ~ Lover Lay Down07/22/2006 07:33 pm
Supersmut. And Riley's up to some serious evil!
 
VerdaChapter Forty ~ Lover Lay Down07/22/2006 03:31 am
Awards well deserved, Rosie girl and add this chapter too. The hot sex for one, but really evil Riley, he should of had to cut off six inches of something else instead. For him maybe five inches, but definately not a pound!*heh heh*. Now Angel Inc.'s coming to "help", can't wait for him to find Spike. So you're going to update sooner? **doing the Snoopy dance** Love it! thanks for the read.
 
KukurokukuChapter Forty ~ Lover Lay Down07/22/2006 12:19 am
Riley is an idiot! I wish the monsters will take all his flesh, not just a pound.
 
MarzBarChapter Forty ~ Lover Lay Down07/21/2006 11:15 pm
It's so good to have you back Rosie! Is Riley raising the beast Cordelia saw in her vision? Will it be so horrible Faith will have to come back to fight it? Who in the LA gang is Faith's new honey? More story please.
 
KarynChapter Forty ~ Lover Lay Down07/21/2006 10:18 pm
ahhh!!! you are the queen of evil...rofl, *hugs* don't worry i love evil..rofl, great update!!
 
vladtChapter Thirty Nine ~ Right by Your Side07/23/2006 07:08 pm
giles is an ass in all timelines. very good read. thanks
 
MeganChapter Thirty Nine ~ Right by Your Side07/22/2006 01:47 am
OOh, you handled the Scooby showdown with just the right touch of flair. So often it's melodramatic *hides because I have probably done melodramatic before* Gonna look up your latest chap on LJ, I think! But brava! So glad to be reading this again.
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Nine ~ Right by Your Side06/26/2006 12:31 am
Your a riot girl. the only one that I'm worried about is Riley. He's a machine that the Initiative created and could very easily do some damage, but I know that you won't let that happen so I'm fine. Now I'm all caught up and will have to wait like the other's, so update as soon as you can.
 
Spikes Slayer2Chapter Thirty Nine ~ Right by Your Side06/23/2006 09:43 pm
arrrghh!!! please update i love this!!!!
 
TamaraChapter Thirty Nine ~ Right by Your Side06/23/2006 07:18 pm
Giles said that Slayers don't get a real life they get a calling. With Riley, Buffy wasn't doing her calling, with Spike she will be. Thier isssue with Spike has nothing to do with Buffy's calling but with Buffy doing what they want her to do.

Love Spike's speech to Willow and Xander. So needed to be said in canon.
 
duke6665Chapter Thirty Nine ~ Right by Your Side06/23/2006 05:16 pm
great chapter. loves spikes speech to willow/xander
 
vladtChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You07/23/2006 06:57 pm
said i felt a little sad for faith. riley is a waste of time and space always. good chapter, thanks for the read.
 
MeganChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You07/22/2006 01:34 am
He wanted to uproot a tree and shove it through Spike’s chest. He wanted to rip the head from his body and watch him dust in his hands.

OMG! Only in his dreams. What a fantastic sentence. It's so funny!

No hate mail. I know I'm probably not meant to read it this way, but the vengeance that is Faith, and the death-defying optimism that is Riley seems so comicbook amusing to me. I sincerely love it.
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You06/26/2006 12:11 am
Nope, no hate here. Didn't feel sorry for Faith or Riley, felt sorry for Dru and Angel once, but just once, because they dusted themselves. Nope not one sniffle. So it's out of the closet for them now. LOL
 
Spikes_LilyChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You06/21/2006 04:49 am
I just started (and finished) reading this today. Great story. Lots of twists and turns and smut...gotta love the smut! I actually took my laptop and thrust it into my husbands hands and told him that I wanted him to do the spanking scene to me! He laughed at me. Then made promises of 'later.' So not only is this a big thanks for the great story, but it is a huge thanks for giving us ideas! Congrats on your awards, you deserve them for this story. I can't wait to read the rest!
 
lilkittykat_27Chapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/13/2006 12:02 am
I squeed with joy when I saw you updated, sorry it took me so long to meander on over and give the new chap a read. I only have one word-DAYUUUMM....And this:

God help the demon who crossed his path tonight.

He had rage to burn.


Scared of Riley now. Yeah. And poor Dawn...ooh and Faith, goin' off the deep end. I'm liking this, can't wait until there's more. *smooch* ;)

 
fallen_angelChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/05/2006 12:39 pm
it's not that i don't love the story it's more that we r forgetting the sad little spike in the other reality the one who is getting himself drunk, can we get to him sometime soon a small peek at least?
 
IreneChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 07:49 pm
Yes I feel for Faith, I however don't like Riley and way, shape or form. So please conintue to hurt him.
 
MarzBarChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 02:02 pm
Whoops? I was supposed to feel sorry for Riley? When pigs fly. I do feel somewhat sorry for Faith and she hasn't done anything wrong in this universe but it seems she will go off the rails soon. More story please.
 
spikeslovebiteChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 11:49 am
pffft! i don't feel bad for either one lol was bouncy and happy to see an update! go you!
 
KarynChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 11:25 am
wonderful update! and no hate! really, okay maybe a little discomfort, but no hate...lol
 
neo_trinityknotChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 04:00 am
Why would I, or should I, feel sorry for them. They are blind to the truth! Blaming everyone else for their f-ed up shit.
 
BreeChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 02:59 am
Sorry to disappoint, but they'll be no hate mail from me, mainly becuz I could care less about Faith and Riley's "poor me" drama! Give 'em hell, I say, cuz no matter what dimension it may be or how they may act in it, I'll always hate those 2!Anyways... I've been following your story for months and I was so happy to see you had posted again tonight! Can't wait for more
 
DirktavianChapter Thirty Eight - Hopelessly Devoted to You03/03/2006 02:36 am
I love that you love getting us all riled up! Don't hate the player, hate the game... ;)
This was an awesome chapter, and you really know how to crank up the heat on our fearless duo. The letter from Faith was dead-on in terms of voice, word-choice, etc. And it is so awesome to see Riley so bent about the things Buffy will let Spike do to her that she would never let him do-- Such a guy thing! Great update. Now, with such lavish praise, and assuming real life doesn't rear it's ugly head, could I beg, borrow or steal for another update very, very soon? Pretty please?
 
MeganChapter Thirty Seven - Trouble's Comin' Like a Train07/22/2006 01:20 am
Riley is hysterical! He's doing ops to scout out Buffy's change in affections. LMAO. Serves him right what he gets an eyeful of. And Faith is truly scary. She's happy to go out killing...not thinking too clearly about the baby sister who will undoubtedly be horrified to be stuck near someone like that. This is fun having chapters to catch up on. )
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Seven - Trouble's Comin' Like a Train06/25/2006 11:57 pm
OK, not going to hurt Dawn, can understand it but it's going to end well is it. Not for Faith or Riley. 2 more and I'm caught up.
 
firiChapter Thirty Seven - Trouble's Comin' Like a Train02/11/2006 01:19 am
more please! very happy to see a new update!
 
MarzBarChapter Thirty Seven - Trouble's Comin' Like a Train02/10/2006 02:29 am
I just caught up with this tonight! I feel like I haven't seen it for months but admit that just may be brain damage or blonde. Anyway, I'm thrilled to see it again so I can worry about WTF Aphrodite is up to; how vile is Riley going to become and how violent and nutso will Faith get? More story soon please.
 
RichardChapter Thirty Seven - Trouble's Comin' Like a Train02/09/2006 10:46 pm
Riley is creepy. Scarily accurate characterization though. Just a touch more overbearing than on the show and he's another Angel. ;)
Thanks ;) I'm gleefully enjoying twisting Riley for my evil purposes. He's only going to get creepier from here... Mwahahahaha.

Thanks so much for sticking with the story & taking the time to review. It's very much appreciated.
 
vladtChapter Thirty Six ~ The Very Thought of You07/23/2006 05:14 pm
very good read, thanks. faith flipped and riley plans on being a stalker.
 
MeganChapter Thirty Six ~ The Very Thought of You07/22/2006 01:09 am
Ahhhhh, I had read this one before, but who couldn't catch up again with Riley dumped on his ass? The Faith situation is all kinds of worrying and Giles's dire announcements....now I'm positive I haven't read the next one before...
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Six ~ The Very Thought of You06/25/2006 11:46 pm
Didn't think that she'd go after her own sister even though she was Buffy's too, nothing that physco bitch does surprises me. Really keeping this story interesting.
 
bubble_blunderChapter Thirty Six ~ The Very Thought of You11/16/2005 08:52 am
Just got all caught up here. Love it, love it, love it! I feel so bad for Faith though. Maybe she and Riley should hook up? Looking forward to the next update! And Congrats on your latest pretties! -Lisa
Riley & Faith...hmmmm. That's an interesting idea... Thanks for your enthusiasm, Doll. I also appreciate you stopping to review.
 
vladtChapter Thirty Five ~ Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want07/23/2006 04:59 pm
very good read, thanks. a little sad for faith. just a little. thanks again for the fine read.
 
MeganChapter Thirty Five ~ Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want07/22/2006 12:40 am
Gahhh, this is where I got up to. Diving in for more....
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Five ~ Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want06/25/2006 10:51 pm
Really surprised that she didn't try and dust him right then and there, but then you haven't said that she wouldn't yet either. Probably go running to Riley though. thanks rosie for another exciting chapter.
 
vladtChapter Thirty Four ~ Bad Girl07/23/2006 04:26 pm
good read, thanks. spike's special evening is going to be very interesting and crowded
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Four ~ Bad Girl06/25/2006 10:09 pm
Well, I almost felt sorry for Faith. Just waitin' for the shoe to drop with her and she goes all bad again. Now let's see what happens when she finds them together. Another fab chappie.
 
vladtChapter Thirty Three ~ Bedroom Dancing07/23/2006 04:14 pm
love the new twist.great chapter, thanks for the read.
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Three ~ Bedroom Dancing06/25/2006 09:51 pm
See the slayer knows how to take care of her man or demon in this case. The Dawn twist was definately a surprise. Only six more to go before I'm caught up. Thanks for keeping it so interesting.
 
VerdaChapter Thirty Two ~ Hungry For You06/25/2006 09:02 pm
Yup! the smut just keeps coming and coming, just like Buffy. Hot! Hot! Hot! chapter.
 
spike_spetslayerChapter Thirty Two ~ Hungry For You10/31/2005 03:41 am
Smoking again, Rosie--I love this story...*whimpers* more please????
 
vladtChapter Thirty Two ~ Hungry For You10/31/2005 02:58 am
love the update. thanks
 
MarzBarChapter Thirty Two ~ Hungry For You10/31/2005 12:44 am
I love this porn. I keep thinking I leave you reviews but since I don't see them here, it must be at another site. Anyway, think I'll go vote for you now.
 
VerdaChapter Thirty One ~ Wicked Game06/25/2006 04:39 am
That was a close call. It's no ones fault just the way it is. Oooh more Spuffy goodness ahead.
 
VerdaChapter Thirty ~ Lady06/25/2006 04:22 am
You've got yourself a winner. So hot and satisfying for them both. Boy did they need that. 2 thumbs up Rosie girl.
 
spike_spetslayerChapter Thirty ~ Lady10/31/2005 03:32 am
Smoking a cigarette right now, Rosie, and going on to the next chappie...wow, you're good....
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Nine ~ Never Tear Us Apart06/25/2006 03:39 am
Bless you girl, that is such a relief, you make a gal feel safe.*sniff* Never want to see Spike hurt. Should've figured he'd want her even it was for a day. I've loved and lost AND ever to have loved at all, and they both SUCK! Great chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Eight ~ But I Do Love You06/25/2006 03:21 am
Yes, you must be punished, but not by me because I can go to the next chappie right now.(sticking my tongue at you) Ha! Ha!
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Seven ~ Knock Me a Kiss06/25/2006 02:54 am
Feeling better now, good to know that she's thought about it too. Thanks.
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Six ~ I’m Beginning to See the Light06/25/2006 02:47 am
Lovin' the Spuffyness, but worried about this Spike. Once he has her it will be so unfair to him when she goes back. Sorry, it's how I feel. Hope that you had taken that into consideration, I guess I'll find out later. *hugs*
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Five ~ A Fine Romance06/25/2006 02:23 am
Definitely thrilled that Riley is over for now, she still has to deal with him in her world, but better for now. Good to know I'm not the only one to freeze frame the DVD's, not that you do that*snicker*. Excellent chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Four ~ Ruler of My Heart06/25/2006 02:05 am
About time. Finally realized what her life was all about now only the slaying but about the people in it. Thank you Rosie, this is an amazing story, so well written and thought out and the songs, just wonderful.
 
VerdaChapter Twenty Three ~ Good Morning, Heartache06/25/2006 01:43 am
Pretty angsty, wonder if she'll even try to find Spike and talk to him. Will she even want to go back knowing what's in store for her? Thoughtful chapter.
 
Verda Chapter Twenty Two ~ How Long Has This Been Goin’ On?06/25/2006 01:29 am
No problem, just waiting for the next chapter, understand that this was suppose to wake her up and smell the coffee. Looks like she's learning.
 
VerdaChapter Twenty One ~ No Such Thing06/25/2006 01:19 am
Oh, now the shit's going hit the fan. Spike and Faith, that just creeps me out, but I'll get through it. These chapters are great for these songs, they fit perfectly. Kudos to you Rosie.
 
spike_spetslayerChapter Twenty One ~ No Such Thing10/29/2005 11:28 pm
Rosie, here is your happy....I read this as far as you had it over on the old BSV, and love it still. I can see why it's been nommed for several awards...Keep feeding us those chappies, honey, and I'll at least drop you a line to tell you I appreciate them....
 
VerdaChapter Twenty ~ Across the Universe06/25/2006 01:05 am
So glad I don't have to wait for another chapter since I'm already behind. And your right about Need, and Lost in time, they're freaking amazing. Moving on to your next wonderful chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Nineteen ~ Where Are You Now ?06/25/2006 12:55 am
Now to research, but what about Spike? Can't wait to see him here and what he's up to. Very interesting story.
 
VedaChapter Eighteen ~ Witchcraft06/25/2006 12:41 am
Well, this is what she wanted, can't wait to see how much she likes it. Great chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Seventeen ~ Painted on My Heart06/25/2006 12:28 am
That'll do it, a wet naked Spike. You know I'm happy that Buffy's making herself a little nuts, she deserves it. Refusing that gorgeous hunk of flesh. Glad there's more.
 
VerdaChapter Sixteen ~ Tainted Love06/24/2006 11:57 pm
Now that Bad Buffy's Brain get's it maybe the rest will follow? Yes! Lovin' the interaction between Eros and Aphrodite. He has a path as well. Very clever. This story is getting better with every chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Fifteen ~ Ring of Fire06/24/2006 11:39 pm
Yup, to easy, but at least Spike got to get everything off his chest and did it well. Thanks for the excellent chappie.
 
spike_spetslayerChapter Fifteen ~ Ring of Fire10/18/2005 08:38 am
Awww Rosie, give us more!
 
CewcewChapter Fifteen ~ Ring of Fire10/17/2005 06:30 am
You, you tease! Please please more soon! loveing this story.
 
VerdaChapter Fourteen ~ Ain’t Love a Kick in the Head ?06/24/2006 11:11 pm
That's what I'm talking about! Next chapter please.
 
VerdaChapter Thirteen ~ There’s Gonna Be a Heartache Tonight06/24/2006 11:03 pm
Nothin' like a good a good fight to get her motor goin'. Thanks for the chappie.
 
VerdaChapter Twelve ~ Do You Wanna Touch Me?06/24/2006 10:52 pm
I vote for bringing out the arrows!!! anything to get these two together. Another good chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Eleven ~ Love is the Drug06/24/2006 10:33 pm
Your characterization of them is right on, just as a canon script would be. Have to laugh a little though, the way that they're engaging in this constant battle within themselves. Yeah, I know I'm just a tad twisted. Really enjoying it.
 
VerdaChapter Ten ~ Good Vibrations06/24/2006 10:07 pm
Poor Spike, William's about to show his bloody head! As love's bitch he should of figured it was about to happen. Another very good chapter.
 
LanaChapter Ten ~ Good Vibrations10/15/2005 06:28 pm
I really like this story, but I think I first read it somewhere else with more chapters up. I can't wait till you add more here.
You most likely did - the entire fic was up at the old BSV but due to the changes in the site it has to be reposted. I hope to be all caught up soon. Thanks for your review, sweetie!
 
Chanel 5Chapter Ten ~ Good Vibrations10/15/2005 12:28 pm
Great line "Yes, hello all. Don’t mind my 10-inch erection now. Just go on about your business." your Spike is so cute. I can't believe I've missed two chapters of this - had to go back and read again. fantastic story, and, as always, more please. More real spuffy!!!
Lol - Yeah, I've always loved that line too - so perfectly Spike, full of swagger and snark. Thanks much for the compliments and all your lovely reviews, darlin'! I deeply appreciate it. You want more story? You are in serious luck 'cause I got 35 chapters written on this bad boy...much, much more to come.
 
VerdaChapter Nine ~ Love is in the Air06/24/2006 09:02 pm
Buffy's in for it now. Can't wait to see what happens when Spike arrives and hey! Air Supply had great love songs in their time. Good read.
 
VerdaChapter Eight ~ Addicted to Love06/24/2006 08:48 pm
Forgot to let you know that I've enjoyed your choice of music. From Peggy Lee to Robert Plant can't wait to see what other songs you choose. Enjoying this very much.
 
VerdaChapter Seven ~ I Woke Up in Love This Morning06/24/2006 08:34 pm
Perfect! Each a legend in their own right, together they are legendary. Great analogy and chapter.
 
Chanel 5Chapter Seven ~ I Woke Up in Love This Morning10/15/2005 12:30 pm
OOps, and I loved the story too!
He He - thanks, sweetie - I really appreciate all your reviews!
 
Chanel 5Chapter Seven ~ I Woke Up in Love This Morning10/15/2005 12:30 pm
Hi - I LOVED the summary. It was just tooooo cute!!!
Thank you! Good to know someone is reading those things - I try to make 'em good ;)
 
VerdaChapter Six ~ All I Have to Do is Dream06/24/2006 08:16 pm
Love it when they "come" together,(pun intended) naughty little Eros. That'll give Buffy something to think about for a while, especially when she's with Riley. Another fine chapter.
 
MarzBarChapter Six ~ All I Have to Do is Dream10/14/2005 04:45 pm
Lovely smutty dream! That should make Buffy even madder when she's awake so Eros needs another strategy for those times. More story please.
Eros has a few tricks up his sleeve yet - just wait. the twists are coming Thanks for the review!
 
spike_spetslayerChapter Six ~ All I Have to Do is Dream10/13/2005 11:21 pm
Hey! where's the rest of my ficcie??? are you trying to torture me to death? LOL post more, Soul, I know you have at least 33 chappies (that were posted at the old BSV) and i would love to read them all again...good thing the old BSV link still works. Great fic, btw, and would love to read MORE (desperate hint)
Sweetheart, I will post 'em as fast as I can. If you're feeling extra impatient hop on over to Spuffy Realm or BS Central to catch up. Chapter 35 is going up this weekend... Meanwhile, thanks for your support! It keeps me writing this monster
 
FranchescaChapter Six ~ All I Have to Do is Dream10/13/2005 11:17 pm
That whole thing was just hot. The ENTIRE thing was hot. How'd you do that?
Um, honestly? I'm a really, really naughty girl. I love the smut - and what would a spuffy fic be without it? ;) Thanks for the feedback, Doll - let's me know I'm on the right track.
 
VerdaChapter Five ~ I'm Not in Love06/24/2006 08:01 pm
Eros sure is having a good ol' time. This should be fun. Good chapter!
 
VerdaChapter Four ~ That Old Feeling06/24/2006 07:54 pm
Very good. The slayers got the hots for Spike! Who wouldn't? Nice chapter.
 
VerdaChapter Three ~ She's A Lady06/24/2006 07:36 pm
Good thing he like's a challenge and that's just what he's going to get! Good chapter!
 
VerdaChapter Two ~ A Girl Like You06/24/2006 07:23 pm
Really like this fic and your writing is quite good and I like the setup. Looking forward to seeing how you develope your characters as well as the plot.
 
VerdaPrologue and Chapter One06/24/2006 06:55 pm
While looking for something new to read, I found your story. Never read anything else of yours so I read a few of the reviews and I thought that I would take a chance. I liked the prospect of someone ethereal, helping Spike in his quest, as a Spuffy fan.
Like it so far and I'm looking forward to catching up as soon as I can.
