| Just finished reading the entire story. Wonderful from start to finish. I love that Buffy taught William how to fight... it would explain why they tended to fight so similarily. It was a beautifully crafted tale. |
| Thank you, Holly. I'm glad you liked it. Probably as close as I'm ever going to come to a Buffy/William fic. |

Hi ~ This is the first story of yours that I have read.... Wow!! I am now a loyal reader - that was amazing! Wonderfully written with great characterization and touching insight! I *loved* that all it took was a threat from Xander at the end for Buffy to become posessive of her mate! (Because she is soooo claiming him back!) Perfect! I was hooked from start to finish! Now I'm off to read the rest!!  Thanks so much! ~ Kelly |
| Hi Kelly - I'm glad you liked it. I hope you enjoy some of the others too. |

| I don't know where my previous review for this story is but I wanted to be sure you knew how much I loved the story about The Slayer of Slayers and his Warrior Elf Queen. |
| thanks - I'm glad you liked it. |

Chapter 21- 24
Awesome chapters and conclusion Patti. This story was fantastic! (Sorry for the delay in reviewing it) I loved Vamp Xander and I loved reading you dust him. *happy sigh* fab fab ficcy! |
| Thank you! Loved having you review it. LOL |

| Niamh | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/31/2006 07:03 pm |
| took me all damn day, but I finally read this. And oohhh, how jealous am I of Always that she got a fic written specifically for her. . . . *sniffs* And how glad I am that she did. I liked this one, and I'm glad Xander finally got what was coming. Too bad she didn't dust the poofter too. . . nicely done, pet. |
| Thank you, Niamh. I'm so glad you liked it. Maybe next Christmas? |

Finally, a story that makes me want to read Spuffy again.
Thank you |
| Thank you! What a lovely compliment. |
| |
| spikeskat | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/27/2006 06:35 pm |
| Another of your stories that I thoroughly enjoyed. Especially the conclusion. *grin*(Can you tell I'm slowly working my way through all your completed fics?) |
| Gonna take you a while..... |
| |
| Stephanie | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/15/2006 07:58 pm |
| OMG! My heart is in my throat. I didn't see that coming at all. I loved how the story went in all its various twists and turns. Xander as a character, first sulky schoolboy, then vampire convinced HE had a shot as Buffy now was marvolous writing. It was super fab. I could feel the pain, and loved how the ending played out, |
| Thank you - so glad you liked! |
| |
| CutieSaiyajin | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/15/2006 08:35 am |
Amazing story! Little surprised at the end with Xander's dusting, but he totally deserved it.  Great work. |
| Thanks! I hope the Xander dusting didn't freak you out too much. |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/15/2006 02:54 am |
| Very gratifying ending with Xander dust when he just wouldn't keep his mouth shut. Stupid idiot. Excellent three final chapters with the apartment and the confrontations all around. I enjoyed this story, and I look forward to your next one. Also to let you know, it isn't listed as completed. {smiles} |
| Oops! Thanks! *runs off to fix status* |
| |
| gaillee | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/13/2006 06:31 pm |
| Yah! I love this story. The ending is wonderfully surprising and gratifying. A threat to Spike bringing out her lethal qualities, superb! Thanks for an interesting tale, well told. |
| thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it! |
| |
| pfeifferpack | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/13/2006 01:26 am |
| Could not stop reading until complete! Great story, wonderfully told. Love your characterizations and voices were perfect. Printed it to read to my hubby (also a Spuffy fic fan). Kathleen |
| Thanks. I'm so glad you liked it. Praise from another author is always just a tiny bit sweeter. |
| |
| lOU | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/12/2006 02:54 pm |
| This story was an absolute blast. The way they met, became reacquainted, the characterisations - it all had me hooked from the first chapter. And what a bonus - Xander got dusted! Many thanks. |
| I'm glad you liked it! |
| |
| SpaceLord | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/12/2006 11:29 am |
| I read the last few postings in one go and I must say I loved the story. I'm kinda hoping for a sequel. That would be good. I guess Xander let his mouth get the better of him one too many times |
| Thank you. No plans for a sequel at this time, though. I'm more about the getting them together than following what happens after that. But thanks for asking! |
| |
| Esther | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/12/2006 07:50 am |
| Whoa, talk about a freaking great ending!! Would go through everything, but then it'd be a very long post. Love that acceptance from Giles/Joyce (and Giles getting beat up by Joyce) for the Spuffy relationship. Kudos to you for that!!
Ah, Spuffy loving.....what can I say? HOT!!! Still drooling, as a matter of fact.
The ending is still going through my mind, with spots of naked Spike, of course. Man, never expected it, but Xander did threaten Spike. Dang, wish it wasn't over, but I still loved it. It's going on my faves. Wonderful job, sweetie!!! |
| Hee! Xander was a surprise, huh? Thanks for all the kind words. *hugs* |
| |
| maryperk | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/12/2006 05:25 am |
| Nice ending. As with all your other stories, I am sad it's over. So... when are you gonna start the next story? |
| Thank you - some others already in the works, but they are for LJ communities, so it will be a while before they find their way up here. |
| |
| Irina | Twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four | 01/12/2006 04:45 am |
| Fantastic story! Very entertaining and very well written. I started reading the story and reviewing it on another site before it went bye-bye, i'm so glad I found it here and got a chance to finish it. It was a joy to read! |
| Thank you - I'm so glad you found it and continued reading and reviewing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. |

| More soon. |
| |
| Esther | Twenty and twenty-one | 01/11/2006 07:43 pm |
| Another chapter so quick....WOOHOO!!!!! I LOVED IT!!! Oh mama, I was getting scared that Spike wouldn't be back for a lot longer, but the moment I started reading about Buffy feeling sick, I knew William would be back to help. And can I say....what an ending!! The man claiming her, not the demon.....damn, can both man and demon claim me? Can't wait for another chapter!!!! |
| Last two chapters coming up. |
| |
| Irina | Twenty and twenty-one | 01/11/2006 05:03 pm |
| Wonderful two chapters, I just love how the story is playing out. |
| Thank you. |

| Ohhh how I am loving this - I really am - even trying to ignore the fact it's finished and am pretending it'll be going on and on - and now I sound like a nutter *headdesk*
Excellent ficcage

| tee hee. Not quite finished. Got to have more smut before the happy (?) ending. |

| idk5743228 | Twenty and twenty-one | 01/11/2006 03:52 pm |
| *clapping happily* loved the chapters. I've always loved Joyce. But, I'm greedy. What's next? |
| A bit more and then it's done. |

| Review: Chapter Fourteen - Nineteen - - Wonderful Wonderful Chapters - I absolutly adore the dru, angel, and xander scenes - Xander makes such a wonderful fantastic vampire *grin* |
| :-) |
| |
| Lou | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 02:00 pm |
| I think Angel and Xander deserve each other - they'll make a lovely couple. William's letter was perfect. Great story! |
| They deserve each other, don't they? Thanks for reading and reviewing. |
| |
| akarinacj | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 09:51 am |
| I just read the others reviews for this chapter and I couldn´t agree more. Great Chapter, great letter, and great idea with Angel and Xander forced to live together, oh, and great with Buffy telling her mother about her life. Please update soon. I miss Spike, when is he coming back? |
| Oh, he'll be back. You know Spike. He never stays away when he says he's going to. Thanks for reading and commenting. |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 07:38 am |
| That letter was so beautiful and tragic at the same time. My heart breaks for Buffy and Spike. I look forward to more. |
| Thanks - glad you liked it. More soon. |
| |
| Irina | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 07:18 am |
| I really liked Spike's letter. He hasn't been gone long and I already miss his presence in the story. Angel and Xander stuck together is a great twist. Great chapter! |
| Thanks! |
| |
| Jess | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 06:32 am |
| Good story! So sad that Spike had to leave. That's not the end, is it? |
| Nope, not the end. Thanks for reading. |
| |
| Esther | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 05:49 am |
| Great update!!! Love that Buffy isn't backing off of her anger towards Angel and Xander (and it's utter genius to have them live together, btw), so I cheered when she almost staked them and had them disinvited. Tears again with William's letter....ah, I hope he comes back soon. And wow, what a way to find out your daughter's a slayer. Great stuff!!! Can't wait for another!!! |
| thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. |
| |
| idk5743228 | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 02:01 am |
| I don't know whether to laugh at the idea of Angel and Xander having to live together, can we say ODD couple; or cry at Buffy reading Spike's letter. Excellent chapter. Please don't leave Buffy sad. |
| You could do both - one is funny, one is sad. I'll try to make Buffy happier. |
| |
| maryperk | Eighteen and Nineteen | 01/11/2006 01:07 am |
| Very nice, as always!!! Angel and Xander have their souls which is good, but Buffy's so unhappy now. |
| thanks - she is, but she's young. |
| |
| Esther | Seventeen | 01/07/2006 09:50 am |
| Oh, sweetie, you've got me to fall in love with another of your stories!!! Have read it all, caught up with new chapters, and am totally in tears with that cliffy!! Gorgeous story so far, and I can't wait for more!!! |
| Well, it could have just ended like that you know...but it didn't. Just waiting for chapters to come back from the beta. |
| |
| Cewcew | Seventeen | 01/07/2006 05:41 am |
| Loving it, Loveing it, Loveing it! |
| Thank you. |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Seventeen | 01/06/2006 03:22 am |
| I'm with Spike on the fact that the demon only allowed thw tight rein to be let go. Xander wanted Buffy long before being a vampire. Why can't Buffy see that even after all Spike went through, he was still so much William. If he didn't have William he wouldn't have given a rat's ass about her. Instead Willow and Buffy do the whole soul is good scenario while Angel and Xander get a get out of jail free card for getting one. {sighs} So sad. I hope you are able to update soon. |
| I hope so too. Just waiting for Amy to get the next chapters back to me. |
| |
| gaillee | Seventeen | 01/05/2006 05:16 am |
| How poignant..There are tears in my eyes. Hope things get better soon... |
| Thank you. |
| |
| SpaceLord | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 10:32 pm |
| Sad chapter, I love it tho....I'm a sucker for this sad stuff |
| Wouldn't be Spike and Buffy if it all went smoothly, would it? |
| |
| Lou | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 09:18 pm |
| Yummy angst. |
| LOL, my sentiments exactly! |
| |
| Stacy | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 09:09 pm |
| Wow! I'm in love with this story. I loved little William and I love vampy Spike. Can't wait to read more. Thanks for writing. |
| thanks for reading and reviewing! |
| |
| maryperk | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 04:26 pm |
| Well, I hope we are still gonna have a happy ending going. LOL. Great chappy though. |
| Corrina requested a happy Spuffy ending, so I couldn't end it here. Sigh. |
| |
| Dirktavian | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 03:51 pm |
| Sniff...how very sad. I'm sure Buffy's naivete will quickly be gone once she realizes how cold Angel and Xander can be, even with their souls, since they know the truth about her and Spike. Great update-- You did a wonderful job! |
| Thanks - I don't think she's all the fooled..... |
| |
| Irina | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 03:40 pm |
| I just caught up with the chapters I hadn't read before and i'm really enjoying the story. Can't wait to read more! |
| Thanks - more will have to wait until I get it back from the beta, I'm afraid. |
| |
| dihcar | Seventeen | 01/04/2006 03:12 pm |
| Dumbass willow and buffy really DON'T get it. Their thinken their friend is gonna come back, but the problem is that the demon shows you how vile the human is inside. Xander didn't want to kill a slayer, he wanted to fuck and rape. That fucker should be dusted, the only reason angel isn't is becuse he's supposdly a champion for the powers to be. |
| um - tell us how you really feel! LOL Hang with the story for awhile and see what happens. |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Sixteen | 01/03/2006 10:54 am |
| Interesting twist there ... Xander turned. Wonder if he will end up with the soul and Angel dusted. Excellent chapter. Loved the Spuffy loving. |
| Thanks, Tasha. |
| |
| Dirktavian | Sixteen | 01/03/2006 09:00 am |
| Xander turned and not left drained-- an interesting twist. Kind of full circle, since Xander had to kill Jesse, and now Buffy will know that pain. Maybe they can stake Angelus and ensoul Xander! LOL. I really am diggin' this story! Keep up the excellent (and frequent) updates! |
| Hey Dirktavian - welcome to the bsv! Glad you found the story here and caught up. One more completed chapter to go up and then we have to wait for my beta to return the rest of it. Will be soon, I hope
|
| |
| gaillee | Sixteen | 01/03/2006 04:56 am |
| This keeps me so involved I am always surprised when I come to the end of what is written. You seem to be setting up some interesting situations here and I can hardly wait for the next update. Thanks for a super fine story. |
| Thanks for reading -I hope you continue to like it. |
| |
| Lou | Sixteen | 01/03/2006 01:52 am |

| love never goes smoothly for Spike and Buffy, alas. |
| |
| Joyful Dayz | Fifteen | 01/02/2006 04:40 am |
| Patti, once again you've managed to addict me to one of your fics. I absolutely love this! - and being that I hate angst, that's a real trick. Please, put me out of my misery and give us more soon. ;D |
| LOL Another chapter tomorrow -then one more and that's it until I get the rest backfrom my beta. |
| |
| idk5743228 | Fifteen | 01/01/2006 10:42 pm |
| That was, indeed, one hot sweet chapter. I'm just glad in your story Buffy had her first experience with Spike and not the great idiot. I thought this chapter was beautifully written. But....what's happening to poor, stupid Xander? |
| .what's happening to poor, stupid Xander?
Nothing good.... |
| |
| Ariel Dawn | Fifteen | 01/01/2006 09:26 pm |

| Thanks, AD. More to follow. |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Fourteen | 01/03/2006 10:42 am |
| Why do I find ti not surprising that Xander is so weak minded that he is in thrall just by looking into Dru's eyes? Idiot Boy. Good chapter update. |
| Well, he's never been the brains of the outfit.... |
| |
| Dirktavian | Fourteen | 01/03/2006 08:29 am |
| I love the passion shared by Buffy and Spike. Poor, stupid Xander, bollocksing up everything again because he's so stubborn and, as I said before, stupid! Now, Deadboy will have a glimpse of the plans to re-ensoul him-- Watch out, Jenny! Sorry, I know it's like screaming at the TV or movie when the stalker music is playing, but it makes me feel a little better. I really do love this story, as well as your writing style, in general. More, more!!! |
| Scream away - LOL |
| |
| idk5743228 | Fourteen | 12/30/2005 11:58 pm |
| Ok, I was just kidding. I really only want Xander crying a little. Will Buffy and Spike be in time to save idiot Xander? |
| umm, Buffy and Spike are going to be a bit busy.... |
| |
| Athenewolfe | Thirteen | 02/09/2006 06:12 am |
Chapter Eleven through Thirteen
I love the Buffy scenes and how Angel lost his soul; what a wonderful contrast between Spike and Angel, both men and demon wise.
Finally - " “You meant he hasn’t hurt anyone HUMAN," Excellant line - I love how you expose the Slayer's biases of human vs. vampire! |
| :-) |
| |
| Dirktavian | Thirteen | 01/03/2006 08:18 am |
| Again, ending on a super hot scene really makes me crave more & more! I adore how both Buffy and Spike are fooling themselves about their feelings. Looks like Xander isn't the only one who lives in denial! |
| res |
| |
| idk5743228 | Thirteen | 12/30/2005 11:52 pm |
| you write truly conflicted so well. Excellent chapter. If Xander keeps it up, maybe Giles will change his vote. Or at the very least allow Spike to make Xander cry again. Even though I wanted Buffy to choose to kill Angel first, ask questions later, I'm glad you let it happen the way you did. |
| thank you - this fic is full of conflicting emotions from everyone. I'm so glad my presentation is working for you. |
| |
| vladt | Thirteen | 12/30/2005 01:10 am |

| |
| vladt | Twelve | 12/29/2005 04:50 am |
| enjoyed the update right up to "What if I could restore the soul?" why not just dusted him right after he kills xander? my prejuice aside, i know you will present the story in your usual excellent, cohesive and entertaining manner. |
| Thanks, vladt. Angel dust seems to be a popular option, lol. But the fic is for Always_jbj, so it's her call whether we dust him or just torment the hell out of him. |
| |
| idk5743228 | Twelve | 12/28/2005 07:34 pm |
| I hope I see where this is going. As always, a great chapter. I am truly enjoying this one. I look forward to more soon. |
| More coming up. Will be curious to see if my mind went the same way yours did... |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Twelve | 12/28/2005 07:12 pm |
| Yeppers, Xander is an ignorant and prejudiced as ever. I like that Spike could tell immediately that Jenny was a gypsy. {Smiles} Excellent chapter. Look forward to the next update. |
| Thanks, Tasha- more soon |
| |
| ZoeGrace | Twelve | 12/28/2005 02:37 pm |
| that stupid jenny calendar. pffft silly gypsies... ;) |
| probably not one of her better ideas... |
| |
| MarzBar | Twelve | 12/28/2005 05:48 am |
| YUCK! Xander is back spouting his ignorance as loudly as possible. Buffy should really let Spike eat him; it would help Spike heal faster than the nasty pig's blood. This is such a great story. |
| thanks - could still happen! |

| You're welcome - thank you for reading. |

| This is without a doubt one of my favorite stories. Loved William as a child, and how they both remembered the other. So glad she didn't sleep with Angel. Can't wait to see where you take it next. |
| thanks - I hope it's still a favorite when it's finished! |

| I am just bouncing all over the place to get so many chapters of this one in the last couple days. I caught up to what you had. Then there was a chapter before I went to bed. Then I was lucky enough to see another chapter when I woke up. So, I'm really happy right now. I love this one. Can't wait to see where it goes next. |
| Can't wait to see where it goes next. Somewhere good, I hope!

| Thanks for the feedback. More soon. |

| More tonight or tomorrow. |

I really enjoy Buffy's disbelief that she wasn't told about Angel's past. Poor Giles!
Dru thralling Xander was an excallant touch - Xander always is so cocky - he needs to be taken down a few hundred pegs!
Excellant Chapters! |
| :-) |
| |
| akarinacj | Nine and Ten | 12/26/2005 07:11 pm |
| I just love the way you write, and like time-traveling stories a lot. I hope you explain how Angelus lost his soul, eventhough I can imagine the reason. he, he. I like this version of Buffy. Young and somehow still innocent. It will be very interesting to see how her relationship with Spike develops... Hope you updat soon. |
| Thanks! I'm glad you like it. It's always interesting to ponder how Buffy might have reacted to Spike had she not already had her heart broken by Angel, isn't it? |
| |

| Ooh, 2 more chapters. I expecially love the line about "..dragging the bitch back..." I do so love a motivated slayer. Thank you for the fast update. But as other people have said, I need more. |
| More soon - although, perhaps only one chapter at a time from now on. |

| This is a very good story so far, I like the way you made them know each other and there for have a connection before they meet as vampire and slayer. Although the whole meeting between 9 year old william and buffy felt sort of like Anakin and Padme in Star Wars Ep I |
| Thanks for the kind words, and whoops!on Anakin and Padme - never even thought about that. I just didn't want them to have any kind of romantic relationship because that would be to similar to another fic that I love; so I made them close in age, but not close enough for hanky-panky. |

| Yippee! I refreshed the recently added page, and I was rewarded with another chapter of this one!!! Loved the two chapter post. Still hungry for more. I look forward to seeing how Angel lost his soul and what is going to happen next for Buffy and Spike. |
| Thanks for the steady reviews, Tasha - might have to start dragging the chapters out so as not to run out before it's finished. |

I love this line - “He’s been a ‘toy’ for over a hundred years? This vampire that you keep telling me is too dangerous for me to take on by myself?"
Great Chapters! |

| This is a truly wonderful story. I like Spike a lot in this one and Buffy is a warmer person. Will be eagerly awaiting updates. |
| I'd like to think young Buffy might have remained more trusting and sweeter if Angelus had not happened to her due to something she did... |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Seven and Eight | 12/26/2005 05:55 am |
| Excellent two chapters in this post. I absolutely love this fic. I adore your unique plotline idea. Fabulous!! Look forward to more whenever you are able to write them. |
| thanks - most of it is written, just a question of getting it up here. |
| |
| Lou | Seven and Eight | 12/26/2005 12:49 am |
| Top idea, a lovely Buffy and fantabulous Spike = deeeelicious festive treat. |
| Thank you - Glad you like! |

| Ooh, just what I wanted for Christmas (well, with the exception of certain things I know I'll never be lucky enough to have *grin*). |
| LOL. Happy to please. I believe the line for one of the things forms here *points to back* *grin* |

| Thank you for the great chapters. There are so many great things about this story. However, one of the greatest things I've read is something you wrote to a reviewer, You have 4 kids. I would like to take this opportunity to call you a goddess for raising 4 kids and still making the time to write the fantastic stories you do. Happy Holidays to you and yours and again, I can't wait for the updates on this one |
| Thank you. Happy holidays to you, too. And, the kids are not an issue anymore, except for days like this when they all come home and start acting like five-year-olds again! LOL |

| Chapter One through Six - I really enjoyed this story Patti. Going back in time, meeting Spike as a boy, teaching him to fight and defend himself them meeting him as Spike was perfect. What a brilliant concept! |
| :-) |

| Wow. I'm choked up over the end of this last post. {sighs with a heavy heart} Excellent writing. You always handle the emotions and character interactions so well and so descriptively. Heading to the next post. I think it is the last you have up so far. {sniffles} |
| Thanks - wouldn't be Spike and Buffy if all went well, would it? |
| |
| vladt | Five and Six | 12/24/2005 08:45 am |

| Thanks for reading and commenting. More soon. |

| Carol | Five and Six | 12/24/2005 07:16 am |
| What a great new story! Such a good idea. I loved it when Buffy used the "cheating" line and Spike remembered her. I'm looking forward to more of this one. |
| Thanks - more going up soon. |

| Wow I really like this story. Good twist on the meeting him when he was human thing. definately brings out the horror of him being turned when she knew him as an innocent child. |
| Thanks. I'm glad you picked up on that. |
| |
| ZoeGrace | Five and Six | 12/23/2005 06:40 pm |

| I wonder how long it is going to take for her to get it and realize who he is. Excellent chapter. I love how you redid School Hard. |
| Thanks - it won't take her too long, I promise. |
| |
| Confused Muse | Four | 12/23/2005 11:31 am |
| I'm hooked, and absolutely loving your premise. The sense of realisation dawning is tangible over chapter four, and well, I'm always a fan of UST ;) |
| Glad you like it - sometimes UST can be more fun than the actual resolving....ok,well,maybe not - but almost! |
| |

| Excellent first three chapters. I loved that cute little poem by William. I wonder what will happen when she meets "Spike" in the future. These really were three great chapters. I'm glad to see more posts here, and I'm heading off to read them. |
