ChrisSquish01/11/2006 08:32 pm
This was recommended in livejournal's buffyverse top 5. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop - it was that good! I read it all in one go. Made me laugh out loud several times. Loved the characterisations. Well done!
 
Molly RosenbergSquish01/09/2006 02:10 pm
I know I've already read this but I had the sudden urge to read it all again, fabulous! You really are a very talented writer.

Yes, and as ever, no Second Youth sequel until Wulfie updates!

Got hooked on this when another author (I've actually forgotten which one), mentioned it in one of there back to the past stories. I have thoroughly enjoyed. Really hope you do a sequel. Glad Molly got it, though Vi was my first choice. Thought Molly was hilarious. Would definitely like to read some of her slayer adventures...
and so you shall!
 
margaretNaked Challenge09/21/2005 10:59 pm
great story, i hope you do a sequel because i love the buffy from the future, i love that she knows what she wants and how to get it. also bonus points for tara not dead kennedy not there warren punished! thanks
Thanks for reading!
 
BrittanyNaked Challenge09/21/2005 10:59 pm
SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok
 
HeatherNaked Challenge09/21/2005 10:58 pm
Amanda was my fave potential, but Molly was good too. I'd love a sequel. Please, write one. You did such a great job on this one. It just doesn't seem complete and if you don't continue there will be this hole that never got filled.
lol
 
~*~Tasha~*~Naked Challenge09/21/2005 10:58 pm
I am ALL for NO Kennedy for Season 7. I hated that bitch. She was annoying, bossy, and I just hated her. I loved this story front to back. It is always nice to see things turn out better and without so much angst. Very nice. Loved it. I always look forward to your next story. I've been reading Living Vengeance even before it posted to the BSV. Look forward to where you go with that one too.
Thanks!

“Don’t do anything stupid out there,” she warned.

“Me? Never.”


Shyeah, right.

daisyFrost Monsters and Stupid Vampires09/21/2005 10:57 pm
hey i hope you do a sequel. awsome story and i wanted to say i'm glad you found a way to keep everyone alive. more please.
Thanks!
 
Confused MuseFrost Monsters and Stupid Vampires09/21/2005 10:57 pm
Wow, nicely done, and all complete. Did I mentioned I like happy endings? Sequel couldn't be bad, especially with a little more growing up form some of the less mature Scoobies (mentioning no Willow's or Xander's)
Thanks!
 
chanel 5Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires09/21/2005 10:56 pm
congrats! what a great story!!! thanks.
Thanks for reading!
 
FranchescaFrost Monsters and Stupid Vampires09/21/2005 10:56 pm
Doubel Happy Dance. I LOVED the ending. What could be better than alive Tara and no Kennedy?
Not much in my books
 
RaeFrost Monsters and Stupid Vampires09/21/2005 10:56 pm
Would definetly love a sequel! Getting a happy season 7 with Molly training Spike and Buffy lovin' and Tara would be fantastic. Great ending to a great fic.
Thanks Rae!

Hehehe, yep
 
DKManic Monday09/21/2005 10:55 pm
Great ending! Really did like Molly so I am glad she is back or here? Anyway, thanks for not calling Kennedy. How about sequel, without losing Spike? How about Angel or Dru volunteering?
Hmmm, I don't know if I'll have Angel and Dru make an appearance in the sequel, it's an intriguing idea though
 
MarzBarManic Monday09/21/2005 10:55 pm
Hey, the ending surprised me somewhat (not expecting it yet) so YAY, sequel. Definitely an alive Tara is good. No Kennedy, YAY.
Very big yay for no Kennedy!

Yep, that it will!

And WIllow screws things up again. {Sighs and shakes her head} She did it before they were ready. Crazy Willow. Tara has a right to be ticked. When will Willow learn. {Growls} Excellent chapter update.
Thanks Tasha!

Halfrak???? Buffy you are sooooo screwing up.
lol
 
MarzBarLazy Sunday09/21/2005 10:53 pm
Willow is getting dangerous fast now. How will Buffy fix that?
Will she fix it all????
 
OraclehollyLazy Sunday09/21/2005 10:53 pm
*up to chap 28* Great stuff, honey! Anya's elevation was a nice touch. Xander really needs to make up his mind about Anya -- and go her with demanding respect. Love it. Chap 28's happy day -- seemed like a spell also -- was wondering if Trick was about or something Willow cooked up.
Thanks for reading OHolly!
 
MarzBarLazy Sunday09/21/2005 10:52 pm
Love this old smart Buffy put into young stupid Buffy body. I hope she can actually fix some of the bad things (like save Spike and Anya) and not mess up other things. More soon please.
Thanks for reading!

*up to chap25* Such a great rewrite of 'As You Were' - god, if onlyh it had been like that. Love that Xander defended Anya & that Buffy blurted out Dawn's keyness. also TRIBBLES!!! lol
Tribbles are fun!

DKThe Return of Happy Buffy09/21/2005 10:48 pm
I’m not the one that’s tracking a demon OB/GYN, that's priceless. Love the humor, when does Angel get his dose?
hehehe, So glad you like!
 
LindaMThe Return of Happy Buffy09/21/2005 10:48 pm
I know I keep saying this, but, this story is so much fun. '“Oh right, hostile seventeen, right?” asked Sam. “I prefer Spike,” he observed.'
So glad you like!

littleladyThe Return of Happy Buffy09/21/2005 10:46 pm
*cheers* yes, I love it. I can't wait to see the Riley Spike interaction...*looks wicked* are you going to have Spike and Buffy caught in the crypt again? because that would be totally awesome and completly and utterly hilareous. Keep up the good work, to work to hard and have fun writing. Liz
Thanks!
 
redwulf50Not Happy Buffy02/13/2006 05:31 pm
LOL, Nate is a dick, why oh why did Buffy marry him??

Quotes from fic: "Where are they going?" -Xander "Balcony sex," -Tara calmly "Damn it, now it's occupied. We are next though K" -Anya *falls over laughing and clutching sides in painfilled pleasure* oh god, that's too funny. That whole part is just absolutly brillant.

Yep
 
FreddieTabula Rasa - Tuesday09/21/2005 10:41 pm
I love this story, it's really cute and light all round. A refreshing change from the angst ridden fics that seem to be so popular lately!  Apart from the fact that i can stop picturing the Slayer as a granny she really is, i think it's great. I love how you made her smart and have magick. Can't wait for more!
Thanks!
 
chanel #5Tabula Rasa - Tuesday09/21/2005 10:40 pm
MMM. Very ...Cute.
Thanks!
 
GoldenBuffyTabula Rasa - Tuesday09/21/2005 10:40 pm
Noooo, Buffy can't stop being a slayer. She is THE slayer,lol. Not Faith, ewww, that uis wrong. Wrong on so many levels its not even funny. *end mini rant* Loved the chappie, public/ semi-private sex, yeah!
Thanks!
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeTabula Rasa - Tuesday09/21/2005 10:39 pm
Oh, I'm sensing some foreshadowing. I think Hallie just needs to get her butt kicked. I can't wait to see Spike's reaction though, so hurry it up with the next chapter!
lol, thanks
 
~*~Tasha~*~Tabula Rasa - Tuesday09/21/2005 10:39 pm
Uh oh ... sounds like a set up for disaster. I always liked the Hallie and Cecily angle of things. Look forward to the next update. Always love this story. FYI ... I met Kali Rocha a couple weeks back. She said that the Hallie/Cecily was something Josh intentionally put into the Season 6 script where Spike and Hallie see each other. {Smiles} Just a little tidbit of info there.
Cool!
 
redwulf50Monday02/13/2006 05:00 pm
“I’m going out on a date with Spike!” Buffy giggled.


Gawd I love silly Buffy
lol glad you like

Love sining Spike, I only wish I could hear him,lol. Buffy bot under Willow's bed O.o..... do I see some smut on her part with a certain robot's hand? lol
lol, I'm not telling!
 
chanel 5Sunday09/21/2005 10:36 pm
everything about this fic has been so sweet. It's lovely to read a beautiful, lighthearted story about our two favourite characters. I loved spike singing, so funny, and with the white tshirt? yum! You know what I'd love to see, that top he wore when he went to the DMP in the episode DMP. I think that he looked so nice in that, and buffy didn't say anything. And that is why I like fanfic better then the actual show... Can't wait for the update!
Glad you enjoyed it!
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeSunday09/21/2005 10:36 pm
Heh. Sometimes the scoobies are just weird. So what the heck is Willow doing with Buffy bot parts? I love how you made Spike be kind of random, he makes me smile. And Anya, fiction wise, she's turning into one of my other favorite characters. Anywho, hope to more of this (and a certain challenge) soon!
Glad you like!
 
KawakiSunday09/21/2005 10:35 pm
I think the Buffybot being under the bed is weird too.
oh ya

Thanks!
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeSunday09/21/2005 10:33 pm
I'll have you know that I stayed up late just to read your story. heh. Anywho, I wanted to say fab on the new chapter. I'm really liking the friendship between Buffy and Anya. Update soon!
*giggle* thanks!

Thanks Wulfie!
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeSaturday09/21/2005 10:32 pm
“You tell anyone that I sat and watched Python with you I’ll bloody tear out your soddin’ throat.” I really loved the last scene. That so was Spike. I am so happy I got time to read this fic. The sugar daddy thing was very funny. And I know I mentioned it to you but the part were buffy sneaks into Spike's bed, I totally feel in love with that part. It was just so...I don't know how to describe it but it was one of my favorite scenes so far. I can just imagine Spike saying what he said. I really like it, different from any other fic I've read. The characters were very well written. Hope to see more of this soon!
Thanks BTL! *hugs*

Awesome chapter 17. Loved the Thanksgiving thing. I was laughing so hard when I read that Caprice was a Brownie. LOL! Hank's going to marry a demon. Too funny. Loved the little bonding session of sorts with Xander and Spike.
hehehe, ya I liked that part too!

OraclehollyFriday09/21/2005 10:29 pm
re: 15-16 Okay first ewwww with the naked Angel on the front yard. Geesh. But go Buffy with the white witchy power! And I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the engagement party with the demons in attendance! And look at Willow with trying out the demon cooking. I fear Buffy's stomach will never quite be the same. I don't think Buffy has thought that whole Scythe thing through though. Having only one Slayer - would it kill Faith? would one of them only lose their powers? it's tricky and by her messing up that part of the timeline...that would fail to give Dawn & Andrew a real chance to become friends, hence the daughter & granddaughter that Buffy misses so deeply. Please update soon.
Glad you liked!

Wow! You've created your own little universe, haven't you? I love it. I love how Buffy's all wise and capable now. And I like the little snippets of what's to come. I love how Buffy's been married a bunch. In fact, there's not anything I don't love. One thing, If Spike doesn't get a soul, he can't use the amulet, so why hasn't Buffy realized that yet. Can't wait to read more. The party should be a blast!
Buffy has plans...

Great story. I really like your writing style. It reads so fast -doesn't drag, ever. I love from the future Buffy. Friendship with Anya? Awesome. And Buffy's obsession with her teeth? The funniest thing I've read in a long time. Everytime her teeth are even mentioned, I literally laugh out loud. Thanks for the story
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the compliment!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I love this fic, it's nice to see a 'Willow does a spell' fic that doesn't dwell on the spell, but focuses on enjoying the consequences! Great story so far, can't wait for the rest, dentures and all!
Thanks!
