Thanks alot. It's been a real fun adventure with Slayer William and Vampire Buffy. Did a fantastic job with the challenge, that's why I read it, I liked the challenge. Faith could never be as broody as Peaches but she was good enough. Again, thanks for the story, it was fun.
 
redwulf50Chapter Eighteen05/20/2006 03:20 pm
LOL, still a great fic
of course it is ~
 
Bookchick of the Novel ClanChapter Eighteen04/25/2006 11:23 pm
Wonderful fic!!! Superb job capturing the essence of each person. Loved the Faith parting line. Kudos!
 
AtterbChapter Eighteen04/14/2006 11:37 pm
Wow.

I don't generally find Buffy the vampire / William the slayer stories very good or believable.

But I loved this story! Simple incredible. Heart-wrenching and lovely. Thank you so much for writing it.
 
S.A.M.Chapter Eighteen04/11/2006 11:16 am
GREAT, BLOODY BRILLIANT !!! Would love to read a Sequel and a Willow/Trey Story.
 
angelic_amyChapter Eighteen03/26/2006 08:51 am
Wonderful ending! I’m so glad William found Buffy and was able to talk some sense into her. The bit with about Faith was funny, the last line cracked me up. Imagining her as a broody vampires is just too easy! Thank you for writing and sharing this beautiful little fic sweetie, I loved it.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter Eighteen02/23/2006 10:19 am
ROFL!! Loved the way you ended this. The last line of Faith's was so perfect. I could just see Angel doing something similar if the situations were in the normal verse. LOL. Excellent story. It was always worth the wait for any chapter you felt inclined and inspired to write. Thanks for making our days a little bit brighter with your talent.
 
AthenewolfeChapter Eighteen02/09/2006 05:34 am
Last chapter *sigh* I really hope that you do a Willow/Trey story in the chapter - and an Xander got a disease from Harmony drable... Whistles innocently!

I know I told you this before but I really love how she made her own stake. That is a perfect touch for vampire Buffy. *sniff* my heart aches for what she had to have been thinking to do it - but damn it was a nice touch!

Wonderful fic sweetie!
 
CutieSaiyajinChapter Eighteen02/05/2006 04:20 am
I absolutely loved this fic to pieces. Any plans for a sequel? ;)
 
letitiaChapter Eighteen01/31/2006 07:02 am
I just absolutely LOVED this story. I hate to see it end, but it was a FAB ending. Love William going after his girl.
 
Always_jbjChapter Eighteen01/31/2006 06:34 am
Fabulous ending to a wonderful fic!! Thank you! Oh, and those hinted at revisitations would be very nice indeed! *hugs you*
 
CharleneChapter Eighteen01/31/2006 04:57 am

Wonderful! This story was an excellant read!

::smiles::
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 09:10 pm
Wow. All I can say is wow. I've followed this story for the whole year it was in progress and it's a beautiful thing. You did an awesome job Tam. And the pup better be thankful!
 
redwulf50Chapter Eighteen01/30/2006 04:53 pm
LMAO, thanks Skippy ypu completly rocj
 
MarzBarChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 04:38 pm
Great ending! Would have enjoyed the smut but I understand why it didn't exactly fit. Smut sequel?
 
slaymesoftlyChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 04:16 pm
Awwww I knew you'd make it all better. And I'm glad you didn't try to force smut that didn't need to be there. It was about kissing and making up and moving forward. We can imagine the shower if we need to. lol
 
SevvyChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 02:52 pm
*pout*

But I don't want it to end!

*tantrum*

It was really good though. I'm glad William came back for Buffy (as if I ever doubted it lol) and I liked Faith's last line...and her lurkiness, like Angel. Eww. lol
 
OraclehollyChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 02:21 pm
I've enjoyed this fic from the beginning and the ending was classic -- Faith's line... LMAO. The entire story was well paced and had great dialogue. Loved it all. Now perhaps since you've finished this "year long story" I can get off my ass and finish my own year long one - Spike's Way. lol
 
ShadyChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 01:44 pm
Best story you've ever written, hands down!!

Love the last line...designer imposters. BWAHAHAHA!!

 
ilpopiChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 11:37 am
Sad to see the story end. Loved the ending and the whole story. Great work. thanks.
 
SpaceLordChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 10:59 am
Well very nice story, the role reversal was fun to read.
 
UncagedMuseChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 10:53 am
Excellent ending to an awesome fic!
 
neo_trinityknotChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 10:53 am
I have to say as much as I like smut, it wouldn't have gone well, I can see. Great ending! Hopeful for Willow/Trey plot bunnies soon!
 
slinkyPKChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 09:44 am
Wooo-Hoooo! I just love a happy Spuffy ending! And, is that I sequel I hear whispering on the wind?
 
bloodshedbabyChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 09:38 am
Oh perfect ending. I love it! And YES to a trey/willow ficlet!! PLEASE. I beg here. And you know what? Didn't need any smut to make it a beautiful ending. *hugs Tam*
 
Ariel DawnChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 09:25 am
that was a perfect ending. great fic tam! *hugs*
 
AthenewolfeChapter Eighteen01/30/2006 09:23 am
LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED the update! WOnderful story sweetie!
 
VerdaChapter Seventeen07/21/2006 04:47 am
Yay! Junior, the only one in the bunch that deserved to get out. Come on where's Buffy. Oz should be able to find her. Maybe next chapter. Another great chapter.
 
angelic_amyChapter Seventeen03/26/2006 08:51 am
Awww… a small part of me is happy for Willow, now that she’s got Trey back. I’m still angry with her for everything that she did though. And the Initiative blew up! What a wonderful way to get rid of them, very inventive! I hope William finds Buffy.
 
angelic_amyChapter Seventeen03/26/2006 08:50 am
Oh no! What’s Buffy doing!? William will understand. GAH! This is so frustrating! Wonderful chapter.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter Seventeen02/23/2006 10:10 am
Whoa ... and Holy Crap!! No pun intended even! What a way for the Initiative to go. They get blown up because of their own stupidity. I think that is a bit of poetic justice in there, Tam.
 
AthenewolfeChapter Seventeen02/09/2006 05:30 am
Can I have a Trey and a Spike of my own? this line - "That oh-so-sexy voice that echoed with the faintest vestiges of mint juleps and mimosas" just makes me melt!

And once again Junior makes me laugh - I keep pictuing Junior as the mummbeling guy from office space. *giggles*
 
letitiaChapter Seventeen01/26/2006 08:07 am
Well at least Willow got her man. I just hope that Buffy opens the link back up to William so that he can find her. They need each other. And how about the Initative imploding on itself. Great update.
 
Chanel 5Chapter Seventeen01/26/2006 06:05 am
Despite the ...yuckiness... I really liked the update. I prefer this end to the initiative then the cannon. great writing too.
 
JessicaChapter Seventeen01/25/2006 03:44 pm
I love this story. I really missed it. I hope that Buffy is found soon. Can't wait for more.
 
janeChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 11:03 pm
Brilliant, a rather poetic ending I thought.
 
KarynChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 08:26 pm
cool !!!, love that it was the initiative's own stupidity that got them blown away....rofl....and wipes tears at willow and trey's reunion, now if he can just find buffy *crosses fingers*
 
UncagedMuseChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 08:24 pm
YAY! It's burning! MORE MORE MORE!
 
kimChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 08:00 pm
Wow, this is quite a story. Just read all 17 chapters.

The Initiative blew up because of a dumb-ass doc. Hee hee!
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 07:54 pm
Wow, that was interesting. Great chapter.
 
ZoeGraceChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 07:13 pm
yay! willow and trey are together! yay.
 
bloodshedbabyChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 05:24 pm
Hey, poetic justice. And Trey *dies* He is the sweetest thing EVER. I just lurve him. And I sooo love this fic!!!
 
LoriChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 02:56 pm
Loved the new chapter!! Thank you for a great fic!!
 
maryperkChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 02:56 pm
Initiative go boom!
 
Always_jbjChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 01:35 pm
I'm gad to see Trey and Willow reunited. And what a fitting end to the Initiative!! Now poor William just needs to find Buffy! Loved the update, sweetie!
 
AthenewolfeChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 01:16 pm
OMG sweetie - that is absolutly awesome! I love this chapter - what a wonderful thing to wake up to - i really loved it *hugs* you rock! I love the Willow/Trey scenes. I love the Buffy missage. sigh all so sweet *hugs* fab fab fab!
 
slinkypsychokitChapter Seventeen01/24/2006 12:48 pm
YES!!! Burn, baby burn!- oops, did I say that out loud? Oh well, what can ya do? Give us more of course.
 
redwulf50Chapter Seventeen01/24/2006 12:28 pm
shit you have been the bust bee, huh? damn good chappie
 
VerdaChapters Fifteen and Sixteen07/21/2006 04:33 am
Good Trey's not dead, been wondering what his deal is? Is he ensouled like Angel? NOw that they've got Willow, he needs to find Buffy. Great chappie, thanks for the read.
 
angelic_amyChapters Fifteen and Sixteen03/26/2006 08:52 am
Oh no! What’s Buffy doing!? William will understand. GAH! This is so frustrating! Wonderful chapter.
 
angelic_amyChapters Fifteen and Sixteen03/26/2006 08:50 am
Buffy’s getting the chip out! Clever girl…
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapters Fifteen and Sixteen02/23/2006 10:04 am
OH my gosh ... excellent double chapter post here. Walsh is ever the bitch she always was. The back and forth with Buffy and Walsh was great. The end of Ch. 16 was so sad. I'm so glad that I have the last two chapters still to read. You know I always wish there were more chapters to your stories, but you always write them so well. {Smiles} I look forward to seeing how this one ends.
 
AthenewolfeChapters Fifteen and Sixteen02/09/2006 05:26 am
I adore your writing of Junior Holloway - how many organizations like this have people like that. very nice touch - and shows that Karma is a good thing indeed.

okay have to say it -
“My God,” he murmured. “You said it was big. You told me, but you never said it was huge!” We are talking about the initiative still - right? LAO!

*Sniff and poor Buffy!*
 
slinkypsychokitChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 02:23 pm
Oh, God, Tam! Break my heart, why don't ya. Gorgeous chapter, by the way. Mixed signals and preconceived notions are never good for those involved, but these two can never stay away from each other for long. Can't wait to see what happens next!
 
janeChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 08:12 am
Really excited by the update hope to read more soon. I think it would have been a public service to take out Walsh.
 
bloodshedbabyChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 07:34 am
Now that's just mean. Dammit, I could use a choice smiley or two right about now. Uh... it's patti's bday in a few days. i'm SURE she wanted more of this fic. Yep. *nods*
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 07:20 am
OHHH!!! You are sooo EVIL!!! I think I'm starting to believe Wulfe now. But great chapter anyways!
 
MarzBarChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 07:18 am
OMG! Buffy gets de-chipped and free from the Initiative and runs away from the Slayer. More story soon please.
 
neo_trinityknotChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 06:52 am
yummy charactor death, intriguing new characters, heavy angst, what next?
 
RichardChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 06:46 am
I love this fic. And serrendipitously, you updated just when I was wondering what the title of this fic was :p. I wish that Buffy had killed Maggie though, there's not much reason for her to just slit Walsh's throat.
 
maryperkChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 05:16 am
Great chappies, Tam.
 
CopyKweenChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 04:13 am
Cliffie with angst! Me likes, me likes! I was happy that Buffy engineered her own escape, too. I had to laugh when Will called her and Willow "damsels" and then Buffy went on the rampage hehe.
 
IrishroseChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 03:45 am
awwwwwww....:sniffle: ....that was just...:sniffle:...
 
redwulf50Chapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 02:50 am
OH sdhit Buffy sucks But damn you write good
 
ZoeGraceChapters Fifteen and Sixteen01/23/2006 02:49 am
omg I can't believe you've finally updated! squee! please please let willow be with trey. please.
Trey isn't finished yet *wink*
 
VerdaChapter Fourteen07/21/2006 04:12 am
Go Oz!Between Oz and Spike they should be able to get some help to them, Oz's nose can take them right to where they are. Should kill Walsh anyway. Great! Thank you for the read.
 
angelic_amyChapter Fourteen03/26/2006 08:49 am
Nice chapter. I liked the bits wit Oz and Will working as a team. And Buffy capturing and threatening Maggie Walsh was great!
 
AthenewolfeChapter Fourteen02/09/2006 05:23 am
“Well, first I bit his miserable little dick off. Then I drained him" You know how to make me happy!
 
bloodshedbabyChapter Fourteen01/23/2006 07:27 am
catching up with this truly awesome of fics. In fact... I don't think I read this chapter... and damn, I have two more??? Oh how you spoil me!! *hugs you*
 
maryperkChapter Fourteen01/18/2006 06:56 am
I have no clue if I reviewed this chappy or not. Apparently not. I am such a bad, bad reader. Love it. Hope you can update soon.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter Fourteen11/11/2005 08:09 am
Great chapter and storyline. Love this one. You've done a great job all around with the characterizations.
 
Confused MuseChapter Fourteen10/31/2005 12:04 pm
Oh wow, this is fantastic So many fantastic plot developments, and some fabulous characterisation - I'm hooked!
 
vladtChapter Fourteen10/31/2005 07:10 am
love the story. characterization is beautiful. thanks
 
MarzBarChapter Fourteen10/31/2005 06:14 am
OMG! I love this story! What a good way to off Captain Cardbored. I'd like to see Walsh taken care of the same way but I suspect since the bitch is related to Joyce, they'll let her slide. Maybe a good bitch slap.
 
letitiaChapter Fourteen10/31/2005 02:00 am
You have no idea how great it was to see this new chapter. And I just hope he can get to Buffy and help her out before Maggie comes up with something. I don't really know what I want for Willow but can't wait to find out what you have in mind.
 
redwulf50Chapter Fourteen10/31/2005 01:55 am
Damn good chappie You have great plots. and the characterization is excellent
 
VerdaChapters Ten ~ Thirteen07/21/2006 03:52 am
No worries and mutilated and drained Riley, no problem for me. So Willow's crossed over to the dark side as well, now everyone's got a demon lover, it's all the rage. Hope Buffy doesn't forgive but let it go for William's sake. Another exciting chapter. Thanks for the read.
 
angelic_amyChapters Ten ~ Thirteen03/26/2006 08:49 am
CH 10 - Awww! They love each other! This was a great chapter. Admissions of the heart, hot, hot smut and Buffy’s joy at being able to fight demons. Will’s story was adorable. Very nice work!

Ch 11 - Oh Willow! You IDIOT! I can’t believe she was so stupid! Poor Buffy, poor William! *runs off to next chapter*

Ch 12 - So Willow finally realizes that Buffy isn’t all she thought she was. Good. About time she had some sense knocked into her. As for Trey’s appearance – Willow better not ever make judgments about Buffy being ‘easy’ or anything like that again.

Ch 13 - YAY! Riley’s dead! It must have taken a HUGE amount of strength of will and courage to do what she did, but at least she’ll never have to worry about him hurting her again. I liked that you’ve brought Oz into the plot, he’s a darling!
 
AthenewolfeChapters Ten ~ Thirteen02/09/2006 05:02 am
Chapter ten was very sweet

Chapter eleven made me cheer Willow deserves her capture. Growl... I just want to inflict a small about of torture on her... *grin* serves her right to be captured by the initiative.

Chapter Twelve " Riley Finn was one of those people that reveled in inflicting pain and torment on those he felt weak or inferior to him." Can you say - Duh? I hope Maggie dies... and riley gets tortured.... hehehe

Oh hey you say that trey has black hair in this chapter but his picture looks more gold to me - am i blind. I think he looks gorgeous in his piccy so if their is a difference go with the pic! Drools at trey!

Chapter thirteen - Ahhh nice bit of mutiliation *happy sigh*

Yippee - great chapters sweetie!
 
ZoeGraceChapters Ten ~ Thirteen01/20/2006 09:35 am
oh god i was worried i thought it was going to be willow. Despite her bitchiness thusfar...i like her with trey. heh.
 
VerdaChapters Seven ~ Nine07/21/2006 02:58 am
If only it had been that way in BtVS. Buffy standing up to everyone but in that 'verse, Will the Slayer still loves Buffy, Buffy the Slayer doesn't, so I'm going to enjoy this AU instead. Good for Buffy,Xander deserved alot more then a nip and a kick to his nuts. Great chapter.
 
angelic_amyChapters Seven ~ Nine03/26/2006 08:48 am
CH 7 - Very nice chapter with fantastically written smut! They’re getting closer with each chapter and I can’t wait to see where this story goes from here.

Ch 8 - I’m so glad that William wants his budding romance with Buffy to be kept out in the open, no hiding. It’s good. And Joyce’s compassion was amazing. As for Willow… I can’t believe she’s gone and approached Riley, this can’t be good!

CH 9 - Well, I can’t really say I feel sorry for Xander, at all. He deserves what he got. This was a fabulous chapter. Buffy realizing she can hit demons was great, and William’s concern when he found out she was in danger was sooo sweet. I’m glad Xander didn’t lie, that’s something at least.
 
AthenewolfeChapters Seven ~ Nine02/09/2006 04:43 am
“Speak of the devil and in walks his whore.”
- Ouch I acutally forgot how much I disliked Willow in this fic. She was sucj a *itch. Also the part about Walsh being Joyce's stepsiter was a really good touch! Are you sure Xander can't die... I mean I know the story finished - but can we kill him anyway? Trying thtat with Buffy, he deserves a bit of pain. Plus the whole Harm and him bit - ohhh how about a ficcy where Harm gave him some nasty disease ? that could be fun!
 
VerdaChapters Four ~ Six05/27/2006 02:32 am
Getting easier to accept the story, because your characters are becoming more real to me, as I read them. Isn't Angel part of the Initiative with Finn? Always love Spuffy smut.
good coz i'm all about writing the smut lol

nah Angel isn't really a factor in this fic
 
angelic_amyChapters Four ~ Six03/26/2006 08:47 am
Ch 4 - OMG she bit him! OMG they had hot, HOT sex! OMG there was a claim! *faints*

CH 5 - ROFL! This chapter was priceless! I was so glad that Buffy rocked up at the party and saved Will some humiliation. And Angel was so baffled that someone like her wouldn’t pick him! Loved it.

CH 6 - I can’t believe Buffy was treated so badly by the Initiative, it’s horrible! Well this was a great chapter, thanks for sharing!
 
AthenewolfeChapters Four ~ Six02/09/2006 03:27 am
Chapter Four has a freaking hot bite! I love the claiming. *happy sigh*

Chapter five i love Buffy - making them all rather jealous heheheh - sigh well making me jealous at least

Chapter Six - sniff who said she was acting william *growls softley* damn i love this ficcy

And I so am hoping for gory riley death!
 
JenxGeRChapters Four ~ Six02/04/2006 09:04 am
Aww, its awesome! Its interesting to see everyone doing a reversal in roles. Usually it would be Giles as the Watcher, but you made Joyce the Watcher and Willow as the one with the undying crush towards the Slayer. Its cute to see that Spike, I mean William, still at loggerheads with Xander.

Really interesting! I can't wait to read if your Giles like Buffy like Joyce liked Spike. 2 thumbs up
 
VerdaChapters One ~ Three05/27/2006 01:39 am
Well, while I wrap my head around this twist of the Buffyverse, I'm enjoying it.
good to know! thanks for reviewing
 
angelic_amyChapters One ~ Three03/26/2006 08:46 am
Ch 1 - OMG this is too funny! Spike’s the Slayer and Buffy’s a vampire. Xander still has a yen for Buffy and Willow, apparently, has a thing for Spike! And Parker is the Harmony stand in! ROFL. This is hysterical sweetie!

Ch 2 - Wow. I loved how you’ve done this whole role reversal with the characters. Except for some bizarre reason, William is with Harmony. *snorts* The whole Faith thing was interesting though. 

Ch 3 - Oh poor William. I want to scratch Harmony’s eyes out for hurting him like that! The rivalry between Xander and William is interesting, can’t wait to see how things progress. Joyce being the Watcher is an interesting twist!
 
AthenewolfeChapters One ~ Three02/09/2006 03:20 am
Thw whole reverse thing was just a cool concept to begin with; the bleaching of the hair - perfect!; vicious little Willow manipulating her men like that *including mine!; lol and the line about sometimes being a vmpire just sucked *giggles*;
Loved chappies 1-3
 
JenxGeRChapters One ~ Three02/04/2006 08:21 am
AHHH!!!!! *Jumps around in joy* God, I'm overjoyed! I'd been helplessly hooked onto stories that features Spike as the Slayer, ever since I read the fic by PaganBaby.

I haven't start reading this fic, but I'm ecstatic already, because I've always enjoyed your work.

Thanks alot for sharing your fics with us humble readers!

Jen

I'm really pleased to see this updated. I loved how Buffy dealt with Riley. Hope she has something as apt planned for Walsh.
