OH...they really are   letitia Chapter 42 08/03/2006 10:48 am So happy to see the chapter. And I am glad that at least William and Joan are recognizing that they need to rely on each other during this time. Now to get Buffy and Spike to spend some time away from each other is going to kill them and I don't know if they can do it. Now what will Joan and William do with Jonathan and Andrew.. Love it. Joyce will have her work cut out for her   Harry 4eyes Chapter 42 08/03/2006 07:20 am Bajoran Prophets? that's from Deep Space Nine right? Ooooh like the angle you're going at, never thought of that before, They can't change too much of the future straight away while they still occupy the current timelime as it is is causing them an overload on the CPU and is likely to explode if the dataflow is not slowed down....sorry went all nerdy then. Anyway intersting idea, same piece of hardware trying to do the same function, stopping the computer from funtioning properly, I had that problem with the memory card reader on my PC and the reader on the printer, kept on crashing my computer. had to disable the card reader on the printer to stop the crashes....So I can totally understand the problem in hand...lol Yeah the nerds are here, I liked them two nerds, Warren not so much the other two were fun though in an annoying way...poor Andrew, will probably collapse at the site of Spike without his T-shirt, or as he is better known...Tuckers Brother. Well Jackers loving it. Update Soon Harry Yep...I thought it was an Andrew reaction   Verda Chapter 42 08/03/2006 04:33 am Congratulations on the wins and tha nom., they are well deserved. Hope you show the nerds William's wings, if that doesn't shake them to their core nothing will. Update soon, we miss this story. Great read. Thank you so much...I think I'm still in shock   vladt Chapter 42 08/03/2006 01:36 am great read, thanks jack Thank you and you are welcome   Ella Chapter 42 08/03/2006 01:34 am Hee! Yup   hotlipedjen Chapter 42 08/03/2006 01:32 am Good update. Thank you.   kim Chapter 42 08/03/2006 12:56 am Poor little boys' brains are going to pop. All I have to say about the confusion they're experiencing now...is that they set all this in motion. If they didn't want to deal with the consequences, they should have stayed out of their own lives. Well I would agree with you, but I don't think they expected it to be this bad. It a little like how Buffy felt in 'Earshots'.   Pulchra Chapter 42 08/03/2006 12:52 am oooh.... *bouncing in her seat* come on! please? another update? for me??? ;-) lol, love it how you have Spike chasing Buffy (or William chasing Joan as it is here) I just adore the wings! I am trying...really I am, I'll update as soon as I can   MarzBar Chapter 42 08/02/2006 10:49 pm Jonathan and Andrew are in for a surprise. Can they help Joan and William get back and kick the nerds' butts? More story please. I will try to update a little more quickly   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 42 08/02/2006 10:22 pm Sic 'em, William heehee   golddrake Chapter 42 08/02/2006 10:04 pm great chapter thank you   Irina Chapter 42 08/02/2006 07:18 pm I loved the Spuffy moments in this chapter, especially the one that took place while William and Buffy hovered fifty above the ground. I can't wait to find out what happens now that Andrew and Jonathan are in the mix. Fantastic chapter! ~ Congratulations on your wins and your new nominations... you and this story totally deserve them!!! You are muc too kind, but I thank you   Shadow Chapter 42 08/02/2006 07:14 pm I would hate to be those 2 when Buffy-Joan gets her hands on them! Great Update! Oh Yeah!   redwulf50 Chapter 42 08/02/2006 07:05 pm Bloody excellent You are too kind   LisFayte Chapter 41 07/30/2006 03:29 am I am constantly amazed by your gift for writing, I have yet to be dissappointed in anything you have written. I am really liking the friendship between Spike and Xander. And I am really glad that Angel finally got dusted. I can't wait for the next chapter! wow..you just made my day   Robyn Chapter 41 07/29/2006 06:17 am I loved Xander and Spike's talk. Their pain and Spike's kindness to Xander left tears in my eyes. Thank you for the updates, this really is a great story. Thank you so much   Delicia Chapter 41 07/24/2006 11:59 pm Very nice! I like how Xander found someone to do the manly bonding thing in Spike. Great introspect into the differences of minions and childer. Thanks Thank you   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 41 07/23/2006 08:43 pm spike and xander bonding... very strange As long as they don't give Buffy reason to be jealous, huh? lol...no slash sorry   letitia Chapter 41 07/20/2006 09:59 pm they are just trying to get along and Xander has someone that he can ask questions to. I am just glad that Spike was there to and be honest with him. Glad Buffy is getting the hang of her other ability. Spike always was insightful   vladt Chapter 41 07/20/2006 08:06 pm very good read, thank you. it is really difficult to find myself almost liking xander. great read, thanks again Funny, I thought the same thing   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 41 07/20/2006 02:29 pm What is it exactly that Bigfoot does that he now has to do when Buffy saw with her inner eye? Right completely forgot about Xanders dark aura, but atleast that's clearing up now...amazing what a little bit of bleach and elbow grease can do I keep on forgetting Jesse and how that might have affected Xander, but he's still a git and needs a good beating, Amazing the crap he was allowed to pull off just because he was the occasional goofball. Well Can't think of much more to say, go figure. Still loving it Update soon or not (i'm moving house so will be without cable for a couple of weeks anyway.) Harry Harry, you will be missed   MarzBar Chapter 41 07/20/2006 09:45 am Good Xander chapter; maybe he can change before becoming completely twisted up with hate. We can live in hope   Ella Chapter 41 07/20/2006 05:08 am Liked the update as usual. Thank you   Pulchra Chapter 41 07/20/2006 05:01 am awww! The Xanman is back! :-D I liked the earlier xan a lot and I love how you're bringing him back, bit by bit... I'm trying, but it ain't easy...just sayin'!   sirc Chapter 41 07/20/2006 03:36 am great chapter thank you   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 41 07/19/2006 11:57 pm Awww... Wonderful! thank you muchly   Irina Chapter 41 07/19/2006 11:42 pm It was great to see Xander sharing his feelings about Jesse with Spike. I really enjoyed their talk. Fantastic Chapter! Thank you so much   Verda Chapter 41 07/19/2006 10:09 pm One of the few times that I've felt really sorry for Xander and I'm so glad that he and Spike are beginning to have a better relationship. That will help me to feel better about him and maybe like him again. About time Spike got his due. Wonderful chappie Jacks, hope you can update soon. I promise to try...but I have to do Penny first   kim Chapter 41 07/19/2006 09:49 pm Ah, nice to see some focus on someone else. The whole group has to be on the same page is Joan and William are going to get back home. It's going to take a lot of work, and it's essential that they leave behind a healthy group so they can look forward to their future. You would think that   Karyn Chapter 41 07/19/2006 09:36 pm hee! great chapter jack! awesome! loved the spike/xander bonding! Thank you sweet one   Shadow Chapter 41 07/19/2006 09:31 pm Awww Xander and Spike friendship... I love IT! serious?   golddrake Chapter 41 07/19/2006 09:22 pm great chapter Thank you   margaret Chapter 41 07/19/2006 09:14 pm glad zander got some comfort! Thank you, I like him in this story...strangely   Robyn Chapter 40 07/29/2006 06:12 am I really like Dru and love how she was shown in this chapter, her acceptance and want to be with her family, her not wanting her 'daddy', and her messages to Xander, Willow, and William. I like how Dru died and that it wasn't on William's or Spike's hands and that she let Xander, and everyone else, know that he wasn't at fault. I loved Buffy's response when Angel grabbed her and well as her final comment to him. thank you so much   Lou Chapter 40 07/17/2006 02:25 pm Well that was painless! you think?...I'm evil remember   Delicia Chapter 40 07/16/2006 02:37 pm You did such a good job with Dru as a character (damaged, certainly, but I felt sympathy for her) and her dusting was thoughtfully done. **WHOOHOO!**, On the Angel-dustage!! He so deserved it, the conceited jerk. Thanks! I think Drusilla was a tragic figure that deserved a little respect   sirc Chapter 40 07/16/2006 12:28 pm well done Thank you   MarzBar Chapter 40 07/16/2006 12:47 am Wow! Daddy and Dru together. Fitting endings for them both. Thank you, but some how I don't think they are going to end up in the same place   Verda Chapter 40 07/15/2006 08:58 am Yes!!!! now allthey have to do is get the nerds to help with the time machine. It took all night and part of the morning but I read all 41 chapters and it's been amazing as have your words. Can't wait the your next update, and will there be any Spuffy lovin before it's done? or in this case Joum or Wilan? Love it so much. There will be plenty of that to come   letitia Chapter 40 07/15/2006 08:19 am all I can say is WOW... Missed this story and I just love the chapter I just read. I can't believe that Dru is now really done. And Angel just got what he deserved. Loved that Buffy was the one who actually did it. But I can't believe that I am saying this but I did actually feel sorry for Dru but glad that she is at peace now. Dru is truely a tragic character   Dihcar Chapter 40 07/15/2006 05:57 am Great chappie, angel dusting is one of my favorite, it was very nice the way Dru was freed, very unexpected. seeya Thank you...the bunny made me do it   Ella Chapter 40 07/15/2006 05:40 am :gives standing ovation: Bravo! Bravo! Brilliant! :claps hands: Thank you...dustage is always of the good   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 40 07/15/2006 02:57 am YAAAAY!! Thank you...lol   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 40 07/15/2006 12:58 am Well. ::dusts off hands:: That's done, then. ::grin:: yup...who's next?   D.K. Chapter 40 07/15/2006 12:41 am Great Angel ending! Sorry about Dru though she need forgiveness and peace, she is home now, or does she return? She is safe and at peace   Jace Nox Chapter 40 07/15/2006 12:17 am Yeee Haww!!! Go Buffy!!! LOL...and Buffy takes a bow   slinkyPK Chapter 40 07/15/2006 12:04 am WOOOO-HOOOOO!! Dusty Angel is definitely my favorite look for the Poof! Mine too   kim Chapter 40 07/14/2006 11:05 pm Well, so much for that problem. Bye, Dru. Good bye little pixie   vladt Chapter 40 07/14/2006 08:14 pm very good update. dru's death was sad and funny. angel's another highlight. thanks for the fun read. You are more than welcome   Karyn Chapter 40 07/14/2006 06:42 pm lol, you dusted angel...even without a loopy day? wow!! lmao! *runs and hides* Oh you will pay for that one missy!   Shadow Chapter 40 07/14/2006 06:36 pm WOOOOOOOOOOOO ANGEL DUSTAGE! *hugs jack* you just made my day! Thank you! I did it just for you   Tamara Chapter 40 07/14/2006 06:08 pm And now he's just dust in the wind. Yup...sad isn't it...who can I mock now?   SpaceLord Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:55 pm Oh my god you killed Ken...ehh Angel....YOU BASTARD!!!! LOL...yup...I'm evil   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:39 pm Fially gave into all the demands didn't you? Oh well so I couldn't convince you to save Dru from Dustage, but I mainly wanted her sane so she had the chance to dust Angel, but it looks like He staking is what got him dusted so i'm happy Well wasn't expecting it, but won't complain....and to think one instant and they can relax for a year now as the next big bad doesn't really make an appearence for another year. Willow can afford to learn control as she doesn't need to worry about souling the forehead, the Watcher doesn't lose the love of his life so he won't be a sad git. Buffy doesn't get her heart shattered so she'll be much more happy, And Xander won't end up hating Vamps more than he does already. So really everyone's better off...well except Cordy who'll end up unemployed and dead within a couple of months of moving to LA because of the rich vamp who tries to kill her....Really quite amazing how one thing can change so many things....also Kendra doesn't die by the hands of Dru so it's possible Faith won't get called, so the Mayor should be easir to defeat...and even if she is called, with the group dynamic changing so much and the introduction of Spike in the group he will be able to help her before she goes off the rails. Gotta say the whole Xander dusting Dru by accident was hilarious. Well Loved it Jackers Update Soon Harry and repeat   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:39 pm Fially gave into all the demands didn't you? Oh well so I couldn't convince you to save Dru from Dustage, but I mainly wanted her sane so she had the chance to dust Angel, but it looks like He staking is what got him dusted so i'm happy Well wasn't expecting it, but won't complain....and to think one instant and they can relax for a year now as the next big bad doesn't really make an appearence for another year.

Gotta say the whole Xander dusting Dru by accident was hilarious. Well Loved it Jackers Update Soon Harry rest? In one of my stories??? Rofl, Harry you jest!   Irina Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:26 pm OMG!!! What a unexpected ending to the chapter. Gotta say I loved the Angel dustage! Fantastic update Jack! Can't wait to read more. Thank you...the bunny made me do it   Richard Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:18 pm Well, that was dramatic. Angelus coming to the fore that way is pretty subtle, and was nice. One thing that bugs me is that almost every author repeats the claim that Willow needs control. She doesn't, she needs self-control. Or even better, she needs to learn how to relax and go with the flow, which is actually the opposite of self-ontrol. Either way, the last thing Willow needs is to become the All Controlling Puppet Master. It bugs me that most authors don't make the association between 'control' and 'evil puppetmaster'. I'd ask "what's up with that?" but I know what's up with that. Mindless repetition. The same mindless repetition that's given us King Canute thinking he could drive back the sea; he didn't, he just sought to prove one of his more obsequious advisers wrong. Or hey, how about that albatross.... As Dru said that Willow needs to 'learn control' and not to *learn how to be controlling* or even *learn how to control* the grammatical inference is that the control she needs to learn is over self. Willow does need control - so that she won't become controlling. Don't worry about your mistake; subtle nuances within the English Language are difficult for people from non-English speaking countries.   hotlipedjen Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:17 pm Goodbye Angel!! Yay! Funny how people react to his dusting!   deedo Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:08 pm I love it!! Poor Dru, but now she can finally rest in peace. About time Buffy finally dusted Captain Forehead! Who're they gonna make fun of now, though? I'll find someone...trust me   golddrake Chapter 40 07/14/2006 05:04 pm great chapter Thank you   Araedhel Chapter 40 07/14/2006 04:58 pm Awesome chapter Thank you so much   sirc Chapter 39 07/16/2006 12:22 pm great chapter Thank you very much   Verda Chapter 39 07/15/2006 08:43 am Which of the nerds are coming? Which duo of the trio will it be? Glad Dru's ready for them. Angel won't tell them that he's close to letting the demon out, that's disgusting. One more chapter before I'm caught up. Great chapter. I hope you continue to enjoy   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 39 07/15/2006 02:52 am oh, is angel going to go angelus? they better stake him now... you just want me to stake Angel! lol   Ella Chapter 39 07/05/2006 08:22 pm Poor old Dru. Again, just light up Angel's ass. But Im having such fun mocking him!   Ella Chapter 39 07/05/2006 08:22 pm Poor old Dru. Again, just light up Angel's ass. Yes, Dru is a tragic figure   Delicia Chapter 39 07/04/2006 02:14 pm Very nicely written. I love when the gang's thoughts are explored. It lends so much to the story! Thanks! Thank you, that's great to know   Robyn Chapter 39 07/04/2006 12:41 pm I loved your descriptions of everyone as the walked down the street, Angel's left me laughing. Thanks for the update, I liked catching a glimpse at what everyone was thinking. Thank you, I appreciate it   Irina Chapter 39 07/04/2006 12:00 am I loved your description of the group as they walked to the factory. I really enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts especially Llwethyn's... lol! Wonderful chapter! Thank you...I do like the elf!   letitia Chapter 39 07/03/2006 11:15 pm received an error when reviewing but trying again. Love Wolfie and the way he can see what they are all going through and thinking. They all better watch out for Angel. I don't know how long he can hold it in. Neither do I   vladt Chapter 39 07/03/2006 10:40 pm excellent read, thank you. Thank you so much   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 39 07/03/2006 08:22 pm kill Angel too!! But then I can't mock him   kim Chapter 39 07/03/2006 03:35 pm Hmmm.... I Agree   Karyn Chapter 39 07/03/2006 03:19 pm awesome update jack! loved everyone's perspective on the situation! Thank sweetie banner maker extrodinaire   Lou Chapter 39 07/03/2006 03:17 pm Poor Drusilla. Good to see Angel meltdown progressing nicely. He certainly is melting down!   Emilee Chapter 39 07/03/2006 03:07 pm I love your description of Angel, large, lumbering and wearing too much gel. Very accurate. The elf has the right idea. I liked getting a peak into everyones head. The self-reflection thing was very well done, and very revealing. And Angel calls himself a champion. Thank you very much   golddrake Chapter 39 07/03/2006 02:35 pm great chapter Thank you.   SpaceLord Chapter 39 07/03/2006 02:20 pm Gotta love the elf.....getting things brassed didn't cost that much....lol....this Angel bashing is rather entertaining. Thank you...I do try   MarzBar Chapter 39 07/03/2006 02:18 pm What's up with Xander's paradox theory? Will they really go in and dust Drusilla? More story please. Soon...I promise   redwulf50 Chapter 39 07/03/2006 02:09 pm Bloody excellent chapter I truly lovers it. Thank you...you know it'll cost you!   Richard Chapter 39 07/03/2006 02:00 pm Great chapter. Thank you.   UncagedMuse Chapter 39 07/03/2006 01:42 pm OMG! So glad I was able to catch up today. Fantastic. I'm so glad you got a chance too. Welcome back gorgeous   Athenewolfe Chapter 39 07/03/2006 01:21 pm *sniff* again - what are you thinking leaving me there? I can't check for updates for two weeks and you stop there *whimpers and rocks back and forth* whimpers ---- yes good fic if you can't tell *starts jack withdrawl* Sweetie...you know I'm evil...yo helped me make the flyers!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 39 07/03/2006 01:17 pm See a moment of lucidity, she could work on that and then get two, and then three and then four and then she can dust Angel and then she can go mad but she'll have got her revenge. Nobody deserves dusting Angel more than Drusilla. What was Xander's theory? and what's making it so bad? They have covered most of the bases, told him time is ot linear so it can be changed. Only problam I can see if the merging of Spike with William when they are sent back to the future as they are no longer the same species...otherwise I don't see the problem. Poor Willow if only if she knew that she falls for the two most loveable charators on the show....Tara or Oz? Really hard choice. Well Jackers still loving it Update soon Harry Harry...give it up..I am not going to heal Dru! lol   sirc Chapter 38 07/16/2006 12:13 pm great chapter Thank you so much   Verda Chapter 38 07/15/2006 08:21 am Great dialogue for Dru. Xander like's Spike and so does Buffy. Alls right with the world. Dru deserves her peace. Almost caught up. Wonderful. I'm glad you are enjoying it   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 38 07/15/2006 02:51 am like angel's opinion matters anyway Rofl...it does...to him   Delicia Chapter 38 07/04/2006 02:07 pm Lovely chapter! Poor Dru, but it's for the best. She can finally have peace. She still has things to say.   Athenewolfe Chapter 38 07/03/2006 01:18 pm Oh *sniff* poor poor Dru *sniff* I know...but she has stuff to say first.   Robyn Chapter 38 07/03/2006 10:59 am I like the idea that dusting Dru will give her peace. I’ve always felt that even though she is a killer because of what was done to her the guilt of her actions is on Angel’s head and not hers. Thanks for another very enjoyable update. I agree, Drusilla is a tragic tale   letitia Chapter 38 06/30/2006 08:57 pm so love all of the family bonding. And it is good to see Spike and YBuffy just flowing. Angel never learns and I never thought I would say this but I do feel sorry for Dru... Maybe she will be at peace like everyone is saying. Dru still has some things to say   Shelly Chapter 38 06/30/2006 07:44 pm Great chapter, Jacks!! Loving the bonding between the guys. I especially loved the scene where Angel's demon, Angelus laid claim to Dru, and he, Angel thinks that Buffy is his. What an egomaniac, but then I always thought so anyway. After reading some of the earlier reviews for this chapter, have to say that I don't know a male out there that does not flinch, either inwardly or outwardly when someone threatens his "manly bits", like one of your reviewers wrote. Everytime I read one of his reviews I think, "what is he doing? Writing a review for the NY Times?" His reviews are hysterical in my book, glad to see you not getting sidetracked by such a small person. Can't wait for more of all your fics. Thank you...I think he thinks he is as adorable as one of my other reviewers, Harry...a sad delusion to have. There can only ever be one Harry   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 38 06/30/2006 07:42 pm Bye bye Dru!! Sad but true!   spikeslovebite Chapter 38 06/30/2006 05:12 pm here is your 1000th review **blows party horn** do i get a prize??? lol A Big kiss and a promise of more work   mts tyra Chapter 38 06/30/2006 03:51 pm You know what, Jack? If our paths should ever cross, I'd gladly buy you couple rounds of drinks. You rock, man! The Poofter really is a moron with a capital M! But who will be the one to try (emphasis on the try) to bang some sense to that over-gelled head of his??? I feel somewhat sorry for Dru, though she's been through enough in her existence... Keep up the good work! -mts.tyra- Dru's 'pain' will be explored   deedo Chapter 38 06/30/2006 03:32 pm poor Dru... I hope there'll be some Angel-dustage soon The two sets of Spuffy are absolutely endearing I can't wait to read more Thank you...I like the two couples too...both are so different   vladt Chapter 38 06/30/2006 03:14 pm very good chapter, thanks Thank you   Richard Chapter 38 06/30/2006 03:10 pm A couple issues whose consequences are piling up: * introducing elves is fine so long as you explain why they weren't there when Buffy came to Sunnydale. One explanation is that they're very easily corrupted by the Hellmouth (in a matter of days) so they usually stay away and aren't able to keep abreast of events. If you let the current elf (yes, I've forgotten her name) hang around much longer, you'll need a different explanation. * men don't automatically sympathize with their enemies just because they are in excruciating "manly" pain. Pain such as Angel getting his testicles ripped off and fed to him. Only a pacifist would empathize with Angel at this point. Only a sensual person would sympathize by instinct. Buffy and Spike are very sensual, Xander *may* be, but Giles is not; Giles is intellectual. Also, if Spike has devoted any time at all to dirty fighting, he'd have trained himself out of the reaction. So the people least likely to bat an eyelash at mention of crotch-kicking are Giles and Spike. And the one *most* likely to wince at the thought is actually Buffy. * I'm still waiting to see an action sequence where Buffy gets punched in the tits, the ovaries or the crotch. This dearth indicates that writers have a very poor understanding of violence in relation to the human anatomy. Which in turn indicates that all those "men getting kicked in the balls" scenes are nothing but cliches repeated by ignorant little girls. Unfortunately, cliche is NOT a reliable source of information. Witness the parody of male bonding that's the "all males in the room wince at the mention of someone's balls being hurt" reaction (about as believable as the male fantasy that every girl wants to lick her best friend). Now contrast it with the fact that despite half the population having a very good idea why you don't go jogging without a jogging bra, THAT little tidbit somehow just never gets mentioned in mixed company. Thank you so much for showing us all a perfect example of CLICHE and TRITE. Though I might suggest that this is not the best forum for it. Once again you appear ready to jump the gun - do you perhaps open Christmas presents before Christmas or read the last page of the book first? Maybe this would be one of those times when it was better not to share - ya think!   Irina Chapter 38 06/30/2006 09:49 am I feel kind of sad about Dru's upcoming dusting, but I guess if Spike and William are okay with it then it must be the right thing to do. I'm really hoping Angel screws up so Llwethyn can fill that empty space above her mantle. Loved the chapter! I feel sad about it too   golddrake Chapter 38 06/30/2006 09:32 am great chapter Thank you   Emilee Chapter 38 06/30/2006 08:47 am Excellent. Can't wait for more. hopefuly it won't be to long a wait   Jace Nox Chapter 38 06/30/2006 08:33 am I feel somewhat bad for Dru but I totally understand why she needs dusting. Good chapter and I can't wait to read more. I feel bd or her too   Ella Chapter 38 06/30/2006 08:33 am Angel + Spike's lighter = happy world *sigh* yes indeed   Karyn Chapter 38 06/30/2006 08:15 am awesome chapter jack!! ugh! can they stake Angel next? lol But Karyn....then I wouldn't be ableto mock him anymore *pouts*   Dihcar Chapter 38 06/30/2006 07:09 am Very nice chappie, i agree on the dusting of dru. Wich i kept on waiting to happen in canon, but never did. The damage that angelus did is irreversable, he tortured,raped,sodomised and then turned her. Her human spirit was already broken, and in that moment he turned her so she would forever be stuck in that state. That's what the sick mind of angel/us considers a work of art. seeya Sad but oh so very true!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 38 06/30/2006 05:21 am NaNanananana...i'm not the only one who does double posts :p You can't dust Dru...surely between a bigfoot, elf, a pure cleansed vampire, the slayer, the nerd, the geek and the watcher they can find a way to help her sanity. Maybe if the help her cnfront her fears and defeat her demons she'll get better...I know have her dust Angel, maybe that will help her. Angel not winning any points here is he, he'll end up getting dusted just on principle...btw where's Willow's boyfriend the Werewolf...who'se name I forget. I think he'd make a good friend with Spike and he can probably help him control his inner demon/wolf. Well still loving it Update soon Harry. Cheeky boy! lol. Harry, much as I'd love to say there is some miracle cure for torture induced insanity - there isn't. Years of treatment by qualified psychiatrists would still not promise success. Releasing the innocent woman from her continued torment is a act of kindness in this case. As to Oz, he didn't actually get involved with the group until after 'Halloween' and Ethan Rayne. Thanks for being here, Jack   kim Chapter 38 06/30/2006 04:09 am Poor Dru can't even be mistress of her own fate. Are you sure?   BerMH Chapter 37 08/04/2006 12:45 am I really like this story. It has a light humor that's rare among serious fics. I'm looking forward to more. Thank you so much   Lynda Chapter 37 07/19/2006 10:20 pm I am always sad when the chapter is finished but I am always happy when a new one is posted. Great story. Love it. Thank you so much   Pulchra Chapter 37 07/18/2006 03:23 am oooh I just love this fic! I read the first chapter when you posted it and decided to wait untill you'd finished the story, I was reading far too many stories ;-) but I couldn't wait anymore and just read it... it's great! *gasps for breath* "Willow taught me how to babble!" ;-) and you do it well   sirc Chapter 37 07/16/2006 12:06 pm well done Thank you   Verda Chapter 37 07/15/2006 08:10 am OMG! he's got her soul! Serves him right, to have to feel that soul every minute of the day, know who it belonged to. Yes keep throwing the stupid vampire on the floor, maybe it'll knock some sense into him. Love it so much. Thank you...I am enjoying writing this one   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 37 07/15/2006 02:50 am i like the elf lady I have to credit Wolfie for the idea of the elf   Delicia Chapter 37 07/04/2006 01:54 pm Yay, Angel needed to be smacked down! Over and over again! Loved this chapter! Thank you, I'm thinking of giving him to the elf as a present   MarzBar Chapter 37 06/30/2006 09:48 pm I had a lot of fun catching up with this story this evening! Truly creative Angelus bashing; I applaud you and your muse. More story please. I think my muse is starting to look a lot like wulfie! Thank you for your kind words.   Mira Chapter 37 06/29/2006 10:19 pm this is a might great fic!!! I'm so glad I found it today! can't wait for more loving the angel bashing!!! Thank you...I'm so glad you are enjoying it   Emilee Chapter 37 06/25/2006 11:20 pm Awesome. Mucho Angel humiliation. Nice. Can't wait for more. there is always more in my stories! heehee   Robyn Chapter 37 06/25/2006 09:31 pm I loved Wolfie's reason for not wanting his wife to patrol and the reaction to his statement. Foolish, foolish Angel, I love that everyone now realizes that he knew that his soul wasn't actually his and I loved the way Spike stopped his attempt to escape and his comment. Thanks for the very enjoyable update. You're welcome, thank you for reviewing   letitia Chapter 37 06/25/2006 04:17 pm love the chapter. ANd I just love Wolfie's wife. And you tell him older Buffy. great update. Thank you   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 37 06/25/2006 03:35 pm You know i've heard that the site of true love can make you skip a beat but never heard it could get the bloody thing beating again...lol Hmm...wonder how a vampire who has no flowing blood, can get a hard on? you'd need the heart to pump the blood dob south wouldn't you? (I don't know if i'm more disturbed that I never had that thought before or that I even had that thought in the first place) Oh yeah Slayer, plus the elf and the partially cleansed Vampire gonna kick some major butt...and Adam as well...lol I think they should work on Drusilla getting her Sanity back, personally think even as a Vamp she'd be a nice person if she was not turtured and forced to see her family killed and driven to insanity. She was a pure soul and the Vampire demon is influenced by the person they were before so she'd be still a nice person...but that's my theroy anyway. Dust Angel...simple as that, get Wesley to be less of a stick in the mud....um get Faith moved over to Giles care because obviously current watcher not very great because she is one messed up kid, even if she doesn't get called. um...stop all the bad stuff from happening. Go to Pyela or whatever get Fred...uum....get a nice non robotic, or evil boyfriend for Joyce....oh yeah work their way back to the future...and figure out what will happen to Spike when he goes back. Make sure the first never get a chance to make an appearence in season 3 so it isn't so hell bent in season 7. Well still loving it Update soon Harry. don't know that you can cure insanity Harry me old son...sorry   hotlipedjen Chapter 37 06/25/2006 07:54 am Great update. I can't wait to find out more about what is happening to William. Neither can I...damn Bunny!   Richard Chapter 37 06/25/2006 04:47 am Thank you. You're welcome   vladt Chapter 37 06/25/2006 01:22 am lovely, lovely, lovely. another great read. thank you thank you for your kind words   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 37 06/25/2006 12:10 am Ah, Angel-punching. The simple joys of life. I'm a simple girl   Irina Chapter 37 06/24/2006 10:15 pm LOL... Wolfie's remark about Llwethyn was hilarious, I just love her addition to the story. Loved Joan's talk with Angel. And I really enjoyed Buffy's musings. Wonderful update! Thank you so much, that just made my day   Jace Nox Chapter 37 06/24/2006 09:29 pm *evil laugh* Angel beatings *grabs a large stick* where's the line and how many swings do I get? lol...take a number   Ella Chapter 37 06/24/2006 08:11 pm Again, Angel is an idiot! Again, I agree   kim Chapter 37 06/24/2006 07:21 pm Angel's really sunk, this time. only this time?   golddrake Chapter 37 06/24/2006 07:15 pm great chapter. Angels just begging for it isn't he? He really is   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 37 06/24/2006 06:39 pm well spike IS a drama queen most of the time, but thats what we love about him ^.^ true   redwulf50 Chapter 37 06/24/2006 06:24 pm Snort* Llwethyn should have kicked the poofter a few times I agree   redwulf50 Chapter 37 06/24/2006 06:21 pm Snort* Llwethyn should have kicked the poofter a few times the wookie wouldn't let her!   jeanie Chapter 37 06/24/2006 05:43 pm great update thank you   Athenewolfe Chapter 37 06/24/2006 05:27 pm *grin* I do so love this chapter and Angel as an idiot! well he certainly is good at it   maryperk Chapter 37 06/24/2006 05:18 pm Awesome chappy, Jack, as always. You are an inspiration   Karyn Chapter 37 06/24/2006 05:17 pm awesome update jack!! dies laughing at the 'nympho on crack' thing...great job! Thank wolfie for that...I think the boy has issues! lol   mts tyra Chapter 37 06/24/2006 04:54 pm I still stand by my statement, Jack: You rock, man! ;) (hey, JM says it all the time to his fans and most of them are of the female variety) *talks to herself* I wonder what the Brooding Poofter will think of a new heartbeat in the mix... Keep up the good work -mts.tyra- He won't even notice it...at first   Dihcar Chapter 37 06/24/2006 04:51 pm HAHA, great chappie, i can really see angel not viewing SPike as a threat, the fledgling has long ago grown up in to the powerful mastervampire. seeya yes he is rather silly isn't he   Shadow Chapter 37 06/24/2006 04:38 pm YEEEEHAAWWW Angel smashage *grin* LOVED the chappie... MORE! It's comin ...I promise   sirc Chapter 36 07/16/2006 11:57 am great chapter thank you   Verda Chapter 36 07/15/2006 07:52 am Fantasic! showed him didn't they? To bad he was wincing in pain and wasn't looking at William, he would have enjoyed the look,no doubt. Amazing, amazing story. Thank you so much   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 36 07/15/2006 02:49 am Stake her too? Maybe   Robyn Chapter 36 06/20/2006 06:58 am I loved this chapter. Xander saving a seat for Spike, Spike almost missing his first kiss from Buffy, and Giles’ responses to Angel’s demands were all fun. And I loved Spike’s inquiry as to why Angel needed redemption Thank you so much for the review.   letitia Chapter 36 06/19/2006 11:41 am Absolutely LOVED the chapter. Angel just never knows when to shut up. And to finally have young Buffy say do the spell was great. Young Spike was the one to finally break the last chain for Buffy/Joan and William was going to finally get lucky... HA!!! Thank you...Angel has some hard lessons to learn   Jace Nox Chapter 36 06/19/2006 05:28 am *head desk* foot in mouth William..Mentioning Dru at this time with both Buffy's present not smart dude. Can't wait to read more, keep up the good work Jack. They know about Dru, so it's alright   vladt Chapter 36 06/18/2006 02:32 pm that was a fun read, thanks. i usually scream for angel dust, but a barrage of truth and insults is enjoyable. and it lasts so much longer. will we get to see the elven women in action? thanks again for the fun read. Yes...the elf joins in for some fun.   Ella Chapter 36 06/18/2006 08:39 am A possessive Buffy is so much fun to see. I can't wait for them to have their own place....I wonder what will happen then? ;)Play chess? :eyebrow William is probably really god at it   mts.tyra Chapter 36 06/18/2006 06:14 am You've done it again, Jack! ;) Another great chappie that is... I really enjoyed the logical arguments Spike used, if the Brooding Wonder won't see the truth in that, then it'll be better to dust him than do the thing about his curse... The thing that really had me laughin this time was the final words of Wolfie... Jack, you rock, man!!! -mts.tyra- (the one who's always in mood for more Angel bashing) mts.tyra@gmail.com Jack - woman!   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 36 06/18/2006 06:05 am Dust her too, duh! That's what they'll be discussing.   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 36 06/18/2006 05:59 am Hmm....don't think i've ever thought of it like that before, his soul does not need redemption...well Angels soul does need redemption because he was a messed up arse before he was turned. I always figured his soul felt the guilt his demon carried out and needed redemption. But that would not explain Spike when he got his soul, there wasn't any changes in the person, with the exception of more understanding of others feelings. amd knowing right from wrong. his demon is seeking repemption and his soul is being his guide. Well that's just one of the many different angles you can look at it. Somebody give Angel a lollipop he looks like he is about to cry because his parents won't buy him the latests and greatest PS game. He does sound allot like a spoilt kid doesn't he? Oooh that elf sounds cute, and deadly, you should let her play with Angel for a little while atleast Well loved the update Update soon Harry P.S what bad memories associated with cutie? Can;t be the pops, Americans parents say sweetheart right? Jenny said it wasn't his soul...not his original one Buffy was about to be arrested for Kendra's death and Spike called her cutie   Delicia Chapter 36 06/18/2006 04:23 am Whooo! Great job telling Angel off! I enjoyed it so much, he doesn't deserve any less. Good job with the pointing out about his redemption, well done. Thanks for the wonderful chapter! It isn't over yet!   redwulf50 Chapter 36 06/18/2006 04:21 am ROFLMAO, please tell me Angel is stupid enough to try the ritual, I can so see him dusting and then the Gypsy girl's soul stomping her foot and being angry that they ruined her fun Only you Red, lol   hotlipedjen Chapter 36 06/18/2006 03:35 am Enjoyed the update. Looking forward to more. As soon as I can I promise   SpaceLord Chapter 36 06/18/2006 03:15 am Oops fucked up my review Well this chapter was great. Angel and his attitude is really funny to read about. I usually like a more balanced Angel but in this story it works really well the way he seems to think he's above them all. Thank you...I think   SpaceLord Chapter 36 06/18/2006 03:14 am rofl   SpaceLord Chapter 36 06/18/2006 03:14 am lol   UncagedMuse Chapter 36 06/18/2006 12:27 am YAY! Proving that Angel's a minion of evil with William spreading his wings is fantastic! Love it! Thank you *Jack blushes*   Cewcew Chapter 36 06/18/2006 12:25 am I so very loved that chappie!! Had to cover my mouth w/ a pillow so my squealing didnt wake the kiddies. Please Oh Please update agen soon! I promise to try my best   Tamara Chapter 36 06/17/2006 11:29 pm I'm sure I'm not the only one that ends up saying YES, YES! when you post a chapter that so good at pointing things out. If Angel is the one to be redeemed then he is the one that committed the crimes and if he wants to be redeemed he has to admit he's guilty in the first place. I alway thought so   slinkypsychokit Chapter 36 06/17/2006 11:12 pm “Angelus is responsible for all the evil, right?” Spike persevered. “Yes,” Angel rolled his eyes and he hoped that the annoying little bastard would get to the point soon. “Then why do you need redemption?” Hell. YES! Here! Here! Do I even need to break out the pompoms in celebration of your brilliance? Didn't think so. Now, must go back and make an attempt to further catch up on everything that has been updated in my too long absence... Welcome back!   Pin1 Chapter 36 06/17/2006 11:12 pm Another wonderful chapter. I love the cooperation they have and the new characters are great. Thanks! You are most welcome...thank you   Kat Chapter 36 06/17/2006 10:57 pm great chapter i loved it all Thank you, you are sweet   Emilee Chapter 36 06/17/2006 10:49 pm Very nice. Was smiling the whole way thru it. Can't wait for more. I will try to update as soon as I can   Lynda Chapter 36 06/17/2006 09:36 pm Every chapter gets better and better. God! What a wonderful original story. Thank you so much, that is wonderful to hear.   Isabel Chapter 36 06/17/2006 09:07 pm One of the best chapter so far. So entertaining to have them push Angel down from his pedestal. You made me laugh quite a few times. You're awesome. Thank you so much...you just made my day   Richard Chapter 36 06/17/2006 08:57 pm A lot of fun, but it was disturbing that the deliberations didn't include a couple of important issues. First, what would happen to the bound soul / demon after Angel dusted? After all, we're not talking about Angel's soul here. Second, what will happen to the soul *before* Angel dusted? As Buffy saw so graphically, it's being corrupted by the demon. Actually, you are jumping the gun a bit Richard...then meeting isn't over.   Dar Chapter 36 06/17/2006 08:35 pm Spike sitting on both Angels shoulder now there's a picture.. great Chapter An angel in one ear and a devel in the other   kim Chapter 36 06/17/2006 08:18 pm Oh, yeah, she's still in town. Yeah, that was always a "duh" thing for me, too. Why does a soul that never did those things, made those choices, responsible for them? Yes, the FEELING of guilt will be there, because of the memories, but the actual responsibility belongs to the demon. The soul is only responsible for what it did while it was in the body. That was fun. Thank you   Irina Chapter 36 06/17/2006 08:16 pm LOL! What a fun chapter! I am so loving this meeting, I can't wait to find out how it ends. The info about Wolfie's aunt was hilarious. Well done Jack, fantastic update! Thank you, It was fun to write   Athenewolfe Chapter 36 06/17/2006 07:24 pm What about Dru? Oh please write more - please - I must know what is going on - i demand ficcie! lol I promise as soon as I have it you will   Shelly Chapter 36 06/17/2006 07:24 pm OMG. That was hilarious. It just doesn't get much better than that. MMmmm? What about Dru? I forgot all about her. Great update. Thank you...I forgot about her too   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 36 06/17/2006 07:13 pm Oh my goodness, I forot all about Dru! And, lovely, fun-filled chapter as always. Thank you, I almost forgot about her too.   Shadow Chapter 36 06/17/2006 06:45 pm *giggle* Angel has an ego... PLEASE let the elf rip it outta him? *giggle* LOL...The elf does have her uses   D.K. Chapter 36 06/17/2006 06:43 pm This is the greatest story! Always wondered about the soul and redemption for broody guy. You are making it too easy for Xander to make jokes about him, thanks. Keep up the great work. Thank you...I try   Karyn Chapter 36 06/17/2006 06:16 pm awesome update jack!! loved it!! Thanks Karyn, what would I do without you   golddrake Chapter 36 06/17/2006 06:09 pm That's what Angel gets for being an ass. Great chapter. LOL...Thank you   maryperk Chapter 36 06/17/2006 06:00 pm Great chapter, Jack. Love it. Thanks Sweetie, you are my rock   Verda Chapter 35 07/15/2006 07:27 am He did get his nose broken alot, didn't he. All of his memories that he's shared with Spike are really funny, now that you look back at them. Thank you for this wonderful story. You are most welcome, thank you for the wonderful reviews   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 35 07/15/2006 02:49 am Go Spike! You tell him! Spike thanks you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 35 06/17/2006 04:18 pm hey, you said it *shakes finger at you* Yes...but I WASN'T talking about William   sirc Chapter 35 06/14/2006 01:15 pm Great chapter Thank you   vladt Chapter 35 06/12/2006 10:53 pm very good update, to a great tale. thanks for the fine read. You are most welcome   Delicia Chapter 35 06/12/2006 10:35 pm Wonderful chapter! I'm happy Xander is getting into the swing of things, and is putting his geek brain to use! Love the talk between William, Spike, and Giles. Ahh...so many fond memories! She certainly does like to punch him in the nose, huh? Thanks! LOL...it was a fun scene to work on   deedo Chapter 35 06/10/2006 09:47 am Spike and Buffy are just so cute together and William rambling on about the ways he used to brass his Slayer off, absolutely adorable nice to see Xander being the smart one for once, I hope he can handle all that responsibility. Who's he gonna ask for help? Andrew and Jonathan? Joyces remark about Angel, hilarious! Can't wait for you to update Thank you...I try to keep it up   letitia Chapter 35 06/08/2006 09:02 pm love the chapter. I am glad that Spike really wants this and it is hillarious hearing William giving advice to Spike. Thank you...poor William doesn't have a clue!   Athenewolfe Chapter 35 06/08/2006 06:38 am loveley lovely chapter sweetie Thank you, at the moment it's a bit of a battle   Irina Chapter 35 06/08/2006 05:50 am I liked Spike and Joyce's responses to Xander's "fancy fairy" remark. Spike's goodnight kiss was so sweet. The Spike/William/ Giles conversation was wonderful. Great update! Thank you...I like the fancy fairy myself   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 35 06/08/2006 02:21 am How did everyone treat her when she came back from her dads? Um...when did she go visit her dads? wasn't that beginning of season 2? I thought how they treated her when she ran away was worse. (Ofcourse that won't be happening. I guess it's a good thing season 6 never got to lived out in it entirity isn't it, otherwise theyd all be in serious shit. Mini Spike and Buffy are sooooo cute...time teenagers and first love...kinda sickening really..but definitely going to be happier Buffy when they get back to their own time. And what's wrong with calling her cutie? I do it all the time...OK i;m usually playing with my neices but not the point, cutie perfecly acceptable British speak...like Luv. Johnason and Andrew? the two nerd tag team champions...might be Warren but he'd probably find himself getting eaten by Snr Vamp. You haven't seen X-men 3? Neither have I, but you must have seen the trailers and the posters right? the white blond bloke with white wings and no shirt...looks a little bit like Spike, someone could probably quite easily do a face manip and no one would notice. Well Jackers Loved the update Update soon Harry Buffy's not British and the term has some ba memories attaced to it for her   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 35 06/08/2006 02:21 am How did everyone treat her when she came back from her dads? Um...when did she go visit her dads? wasn't that beginning of season 2? I thought how they treated her when she ran away was worse. (Ofcourse that won't be happening.

Well Jackers Loved the update Update soon Harry All William was talking about was what young Buffy had faced...up until she met Spike on canon. After she died the first time, her friends didn't understand wha she was going through. Nope...not even an ad for it!   Robyn Chapter 35 06/07/2006 11:13 pm I enjoyed the ending and William letting Spike know what things he shouldn't do or say to Buffy. Thanks for another great update. Thank you, I'm glad that you are enjoying it   kim Chapter 35 06/07/2006 11:05 pm More interesting conversations. Cool! William's such a good guardian. Thank you   Emilee Chapter 35 06/07/2006 10:58 pm Ooooh can't wait for more. I especially liked Spike's response to the reminder of Buffy's age. I'm so looking forward to the Angel confrontation. *stake him! stake him!* Not to mention, the chewing out of Giles over the Crucementium. hee hee The cruciamentum talk has already happened...did you miss it?   golddrake Chapter 35 06/07/2006 10:53 pm Another great chapter. Thank you so much   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 35 06/07/2006 09:09 pm Eeee, love protective William *hugs Willie* ewww...hugging Willy...you have a thing for the snitch?   hotlipedjen Chapter 35 06/07/2006 08:14 pm Good update. YAY! Thank you   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 35 06/07/2006 08:01 pm Perhaps he should write up a whole list of Things That Will Get Your Nose Broken. ::grin:: Of course, if Buffy found it, she'd just punch him in the nose. sad but true   Pin Chapter 35 06/07/2006 07:38 pm Great chapter - I love the idea of William trying to coach Spike on courting techniques. The mind boggles. Looking forward to another Angel meltdown. Thanks! It's coming and I must say I had a great deal of fun with the William/Spike courting conversation.   maryperk Chapter 35 06/07/2006 07:28 pm Great chapter. Thank you *hugs*   Karyn Chapter 35 06/07/2006 07:24 pm awesome update jack!! loved it! *giggles* poor spike, so much to learn! Thank you...it is sad isn't it   redwulf50 Chapter 35 06/07/2006 07:18 pm lol, you already know I love this I write em for you   Verda Chapter 34 07/15/2006 07:14 am You never cease to amaze me. That description of Williams wings gave me goose bumps. He's gonna need that money to pay for the shirts he's gonna ruin. Go Dawn, love what she said to Angel. Amazing chapter. Thank you, I like writing Dawn   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 34 07/15/2006 02:48 am i'm glad that the younger couple is getting closer faster They don't have the baggage of the older couple, that makes it easier.   sirc Chapter 34 06/14/2006 01:07 pm great chapter Thank you   vladt Chapter 34 06/04/2006 12:21 pm angel is so wrapped up in himself that he has no clue. great scene, with first, buffy, then dawn and joyce, telling him,enough. fine tale, thanks for the read. He will be told again   Robyn Chapter 34 06/03/2006 07:50 pm I loved the Angel scene both with Buffy and then with Dawn and Joyce. I love that Buffy informed him that he wasn’t invited to the meeting and then when Joyce talked to him how she informed him that he wasn’t trusted to take care of Buffy. And the ending was so sweet with Buffy calming Spike. Thanks for the update, it was really great. Thank you for your very kind words   kim Chapter 34 06/03/2006 06:48 am Just caught up. I was out all day for my birthday. Cool - Buffy has already accepted Spike...he's so cute when he's growly and protective. Silly Angel. They handled him pretty well. Go Joyce. Love the wings...I was leaning towards angel wings. Happy birthday Kim...I hope you had a blast   Delicia Chapter 34 06/03/2006 04:15 am Yay! This chapter was wonderful! I want to cast my vote again for the dust-Angel front! He's being such a dope (nothing new there)! I love how you had Buffy calm Spike, that was so sweet! Angel is still needed for a little while at least ...sorry   Ella Chapter 34 06/03/2006 02:27 am Can you end our torment and kill Angel already? Please? :pout Joyce? Dawn? Anyone? Sorry...still need him   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 34 06/03/2006 01:57 am Heehee, go away poofter, lol Until we want you to come back   Kimberly Adams Chapter 34 06/02/2006 09:22 pm I love this story!!!!! I want more more more and can't wait for the updates. Please email me with notification at linnea2sweet@yahoo.com. I will then review and tell you how much I love each new chapter!!! This story is awesome and I have laughed and cried so many times. When younger spike asked senior spike if "will it get better? will this one love us?" Tears filled my eyes and I had to cover my face. So touching and sweet. Of course I also love the Angel Bashing =) He really is a poncy wanker, mate...uh oh, channeling spike... Kim Adams Kimberly, I wish I could promise to let you know about my updates, but I have a terrible memory...I'm sorry. I will tell you that I update as often as I can and that at the moment that is about once or twice a week. I thank you for mentioning one of my favorite lines.   letitia Chapter 34 06/02/2006 08:42 pm Go Buffy and Dawn for putting Angel in his place. He should really know better than to go up against Joyce... And great to see Buffy (young one) comforting Spike. Angel has some hard lessons to learn   Bite_Me Chapter 34 06/02/2006 07:51 pm Fabulous! A bit of Angel bashing and mucho Spuffy action! Loving it! LOL...I'll try to keep it up   Irina Chapter 34 06/02/2006 07:02 pm I really enjoyed the Angel bashing portion of the chapter. What a great description of William's wings. Buffy's thoughts about keeping her crusty older self away from the yummy stud muffin was so funny... lol. Loved the sweet Spuffy ending of the chappie. Fantastic update! Thank you...I kinda like the sweet spuffy stuff myself   Jace Nox Chapter 34 06/02/2006 05:36 pm Awe, so sweet. I like young Buffy cause she isn't blinded and Joan is feeling the changes as well. YAY! Young Buffy is smarter than people give her credit for   Shelly Chapter 34 06/02/2006 03:54 pm This just keeps getting better with each chapter!! There are too few fics out there that Angel bash as well as you are able to do with each of your fics. I have always thought Angel was a bit too enamoured with himself and his position in life, or unlife. Keep them coming!!! I don't actually set out to bash him, just write him as I see him and wish the other's had seen him. I'm glad that you are enjoying it   Athenewolfe Chapter 34 06/02/2006 03:53 pm lovely! more more! It is coming...soon   Pin Chapter 34 06/02/2006 03:40 pm Great Chapter! I love how you present all of the versions of the characters. Angel in denial land is a hoot! Thanks! Thank you...You have no idea how much that mean to me   Emilee Chapter 34 06/02/2006 02:15 pm God Angel can just be so THICK sometimes. But, ooh bonus points for the sexy growling from S2 Spike + angel wings on S6 Spike. Verrry nice. Only sometimes?   Karyn Chapter 34 06/02/2006 02:09 pm omg!! that was awesome! sigh, loved younger buffy and spikes reactions...beautiful! Thank you sweetie, you are always helping me   SpaceLord Chapter 34 06/02/2006 02:07 pm This story sure is Angel bashing friendly Yup...but then...I like it like that   golddrake Chapter 34 06/02/2006 01:07 pm another great chapter. you are too kind   hotlipedjen Chapter 34 06/02/2006 12:25 pm Just started reading the story and wow is it good! Look forward to reading more. Thank you so much   Kat Chapter 34 06/02/2006 12:23 pm They should just kill angel he is totally not getting the point. goodness lol. great chapter Give him time to learn the point and then not get it   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 34 06/02/2006 12:22 pm OMG He's not a fairy, he's an Angel!!!! Someone should call him that, see if he turns all growly (growly? OK definitely need to cut back on the Buffy fics). Better yet he should play a prank on Angel, disguise himself slightly and tell him he has been found guilt of plagerising the Angel name and discrediting their race and has to be punished...wonder if Vampires can pee themselves? So did you get the whole wings idea from X-men? OK so we now have a seriously pissed of Vampire, a seriously delusional and pissed off brooding vampire and then we have the Angel Vampire who's going to have to start buying them cheap quality T-shirts and go for anew look because that duster will sooo clash with the wings. Seem like the votes are in and Angel has been voted off the show. Well loving it Update Soon Harry. P.S. Thank you for the offer, but i'll stick to reading, I much prefer the coming up with idea's and speculating part. I'm way too lazy to write fanfic. I haven't seen X-men three so...No! lol Then you send me the bunnies and I'll write em!   maryperk Chapter 34 06/02/2006 12:06 pm Great chapter, Jack. thank you sweetness   Verda Chapter 33 07/15/2006 07:02 am Things are looking up for all of them but Angel, and we don't care about him. Great one. Thank you...there is still alot to happen though   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 33 07/15/2006 02:46 am well... they can just stake him and save themselves a lot of trouble... yup I agree   sirc Chapter 33 06/14/2006 01:01 pm great chapter Thank you   Delicia Chapter 33 06/03/2006 04:05 am Nice work with the name change; so many fond memories! Joan did make a lot of valid points, hopefully Buffy will take them to heart! We can live in hope   Athenewolfe Chapter 33 06/02/2006 03:49 pm lovely update sweetie - i am loving this! Thank you so much...you just made my day   Vwalke Chapter 33 05/31/2006 01:29 pm This is a great story. I like the realizations Senior Buffy has come to and her help in 'preparing' younger Buffy; likewise William and Spike. I can't wait to see where you take us next. And I'm actually drooling at the thought of some good Angel head 'whuppin'. Keep the good stuff coming. Good job. Thank you so much   Vwalke Chapter 33 05/31/2006 01:28 pm This is a great story. I like the realizations Senior Buffy has come to and her help in 'preparing' younger Buffy; likewise William and Spike. I can't wait to see where you take us next. And I'm actually drooling at the thought of some good Angel head 'whuppin'. Keep the good stuff coming. Good job. Drooling wl have to wait ...sorry   Irina Chapter 33 05/31/2006 07:14 am Great conversation between Joan and Buffy. I really liked the William/Dawn interaction, and the inside joke shared by William and Joan. Wonderful update! Thank you, the rest of the meeting will be here soon   kim Chapter 33 05/31/2006 02:27 am Thank you! About time it was pointed out how shallow and selfish she really was! Loved that "Joan" called her a Cordelia clone! William and Dawn's bickering is always priceless. They had a great relationship at the best of times. And now, the big Angel talk...this'll go over well. I think they have all come to expect the worse from him.   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 33 05/31/2006 02:11 am Bloody hell, you press enter instead of backspace see what happens.

I'm really looking foward to seeing where this story goes. LOL...so am I   Robyn Chapter 33 05/30/2006 11:18 pm I love that Joan finally realized what normal really is and that she explained it to Buffy. And I really enjoyed the joking going on between Joan and William over her choice of a name. Thanks for the update. I hope you continue to enjoy   UncagedMuse Chapter 33 05/30/2006 10:50 pm I'm all caught up again! Fantastic! yay, how's the thumb? I missed you.   Kat Chapter 33 05/30/2006 09:54 pm you did it twice. we know that the memory is a big one and yet still you dont tell us what it is. AHHHH lol. no really good chapter. I love older buffy re-understanding nomal. I did describe it...in chapter 23.   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 33 05/30/2006 09:33 pm Angel in a go-go cage being poked by a stick *falls over giggling* and I was going for scary too!   Cewcew Chapter 33 05/30/2006 07:46 pm Eewww Angel. Mmmmm Spike. lol more please. lol...okay   redwulf50 Chapter 33 05/30/2006 06:52 pm excellent chapter Thank you   SpaceLord Chapter 33 05/30/2006 06:34 pm Yeah that Bobby Miller better keep them eyes on things other than Dawns breast if he knows what's good for him hell yeah, cause now he has to worry about Spike, William, Buffy, Joan and Joyce   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 33 05/30/2006 06:31 pm Buffys grows up. In stereo. it had to happen some time!   Karyn Chapter 33 05/30/2006 06:14 pm awesome update jack!! hope Buffy will be a little more accepting of Spike now...plus ...you know...they whole drool factor...lol more drooling, I promise   maryperk Chapter 33 05/30/2006 06:09 pm Good chapter, Jack. Mary, you are my bunny!   Verda Chapter 32 07/15/2006 06:54 am Wow! he will be a living vampire, does that mean that they can have children? Hope so. Great chapter as always. The children question is one I hadn't considered before   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 32 07/15/2006 02:45 am lol, more possessiveness! cute! possessive is good   sirc Chapter 32 06/14/2006 12:56 pm great chapter Thank you   Delicia Chapter 32 06/03/2006 03:47 am Great chapter! I'm glad Xander isn't going to cause any problems now! Ok, I hope he won't . Whoa, Buffy's gonna argue with herself. That's gonna be fun! Xander is different in every fic I write...maybe it's my fault, but lets blame the bunny shall we   Athenewolfe Chapter 32 06/02/2006 03:42 pm giggles let the buffy's talk! I love it |! Thank you sweetie   deedo Chapter 32 05/28/2006 09:28 am hmm I have no idea what Buffy Jnr would want to talk about so urgently, can't wait to find out!! I liked how William tried to befriend Xander, I hope after his talk with Wulfie it will be mutual. great update!! Thank you...the Xander Spike friendship just seems to slip in there sometimes   Cewcew Chapter 32 05/27/2006 11:56 am   Robyn Chapter 32 05/27/2006 07:28 am Great update. I really like what Buffy said to Xander and that Wolfie spoke him, hopefully he will pay attention to what was said. Like the information on Spike’s reflection, that’s for clearing that up. And I’m really looking forward to the talk between the two Buffy’s. Young Buffy might be sorry!   Delicia Chapter 32 05/27/2006 04:08 am Great chapter! Thorough with the explainy-goodness! Thanks! and there is more to come   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 32 05/27/2006 01:38 am Oh, goody. I can't wait to see that discussion. I'm so happy to see an update. I'll try to do better   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 32 05/26/2006 09:50 pm What crawled into HER knickers? not Spike   vladt Chapter 32 05/26/2006 09:03 pm excellent read, thank you. and, once again, a wonderful last line, making the next chapter desired much sooner. thanks again for all the fun. I do try...I can't seem to stop the cliffie ending   Karyn Chapter 32 05/26/2006 07:48 pm ohhhh young buffy has some issues..rofl, can't wait for that convo!! excellent update!! Thank you...and when doesn't she???   kim Chapter 32 05/26/2006 07:48 pm Ah, the bitchy side is making an appearance again. What's YoungBuffy got a problem with now? A gift when she's 25, eh? Hmmmm....has any Slayer ever reached that age before? Wolfie's approach with Xander was very well done. And good on Buffy for bringing up the hyena incident. She let him off the hook way too easily for that originally. I always thought so   Kat Chapter 32 05/26/2006 07:41 pm oh now this could be a fun conversation. I love wolfie and the wookie coments make me smile every time. Giles surprised me!   kat Chapter 32 05/26/2006 06:19 pm woo hoo!!!! I'm lovin' this story!!! keep up the good work, i can't wait for the next chapter!!! it won' be long...I promise.   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 32 05/26/2006 05:22 pm So if jnr Spike doesn't go through with the ritual, does that mean Snr loses his wings? or will he still have them when re turns to his time? And if Jnr does go through with the ritual does that mean that Spike Snr gets a added bonus as he went through the ritual twice? So what crawled up Jnr Buffy's arse, she looks pissed off all of a sudden? And if Buffy Snr get an instant flashback does that mean she'll get answer Jnr's questions before she gets a chance to ask? Because that would be hiliarious. Hey wait a sec how come Snr Spike did not get instant flashback when Jnr figured he had a reflection? Righty oh, jolly good update Update soon Harry The way your mind meanders you should be writing your own fics!   Dar Chapter 32 05/26/2006 05:13 pm Go Joyce. Buffy knocking heads with Buffy. Concussion thy name is Buffy...Buffy. Great Chapter nice imagery   Mandythemusician Chapter 32 05/26/2006 05:12 pm More quickly please!!! I love this story. Thank you...I will try   redwulf50 Chapter 32 05/26/2006 04:44 pm Buffy bitchfest at Buffy *grins* the person that most desreves it LOL...rations dogboy...I need an update from you!   Irina Chapter 32 05/26/2006 04:20 pm LOL... I loved the dialogue and the interaction between all the characters in this chapter. Can't wait for upcoming conversation between the two Buffy's. Great update! It might not what you expect   Catrine Chapter 32 05/26/2006 03:48 pm Great story,I can`t wait to see what happens! And I got really curious about the whole twenty-fifth birthday, and I hope you will include it in some future chapters. Keep it up! Brilliant It will eventually be addressed   PyroChilde Chapter 32 05/26/2006 03:40 pm Oh, i can't wait to see this, Older Buffy vs Younger Buffy. hehehe, should be some fun times. Remember Older Buffy gets her thoughts as soon as younger Buffy has them!   maryperk Chapter 32 05/26/2006 03:38 pm cool chappy, jack. Thanks Mary I couldn't do it without you   Verda Chapter 31 07/15/2006 06:42 am Love the dialogue, spike calling William "tinkerbell" and Xander calling Wolfie a" wookie" a blast to read. Unbelieveable and remarkable, that's what this story is. Amazing. You just made my day   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 31 07/15/2006 02:44 am i like the possessiveness Me too...I love cavespike   Athenewolfe Chapter 31 06/02/2006 03:38 pm lmao - that is funny - smile at your own bird ... lol you have to win her she is not a prize! Spike will learn   VWalk Chapter 31 05/31/2006 12:49 pm I love the two Spike's. And of course I love the way Angel continues to become a bigger and bigger buffoon. Great job. Angel has more foolishness ahead   Delicia Chapter 31 05/27/2006 03:54 am Cool all around! William can't help but pick on Xander (he is an easy target though!). Drusilla was a wonderful touch! Thank you, I have to thank Karyn for the wonderful Drusilla.   Emilee Chapter 31 05/22/2006 07:04 pm Oooh. More please?? Love this story. Thank you soooo much, could I be so bold and say the same to you   sirc Chapter 31 05/21/2006 10:56 am great chapter thank you   Joyce Chapter 31 05/21/2006 08:31 am Drusilla is very unique and hard to write and this was very well done. Also loved the meeting of the players. It's good to see a fic where Angel is shown for his true self as revealed on his show in later seasons...meaning the mind of Angelus is always there..just not spoken. Dru was written by Karyn...she's just nutty enough to really understand the character.   deedo Chapter 31 05/20/2006 05:36 pm I think I see some happy double Spuffy moments in the future Tinkerbell!! can't wait for more I think Spike shocked himself with his reaction   Robyn Chapter 31 05/20/2006 01:15 am I loved Spike's reaction at William smiling at young Buffy. It was just too funny. I also enjoyed Buffy snarking to Xander about his Star Trek plates. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it. Thank you, I'll try to keep it up   vladt Chapter 31 05/19/2006 09:32 pm great chapter and ending with a great intro scene. love the read, thank you You are most welcome...and thank you   MarzBar Chapter 31 05/19/2006 09:24 pm Wow! A big get together with all the white hats. Angelus is cooling his bits. Teeheehee Angel will do the Angel thing   Kat Chapter 31 05/19/2006 08:04 pm LOL that was a great statement at the end Thank you   letitia Chapter 31 05/19/2006 07:09 pm I just love the introductions. And go Spike for being all jealous. Don't know what Dru is up to if anything but she is always entertaining. Dru is always a nutter, but sometimes a nutter with a plan   Irina Chapter 31 05/19/2006 03:46 pm Oh uh! Looks like teen Buffy is so preoccupied with meeting William that she didn't even noticed her older self. Should be interesting to see how she reacts to Spike. Loved Spike's closing line. Fantastic update! I think Spike is looking forward to that too   Mali Chapter 31 05/19/2006 12:39 pm Hahahaha, I can't wait to see the Buffys [or Buffies] face down! Not that they will, I just meant "he's mine!" "but he's in my dreams!" "i'm older than you! he was in my dreams first!" It might not be like that straight away   neo_trinityknot Chapter 31 05/19/2006 11:23 am Hee! Territorial Spike! He does get that way   slinkypsychokit Chapter 31 05/19/2006 11:08 am “Smile at your own bird, Tinkerbell. That one’s mine,” Spike snarled from the kitchen doorway. **snicker** Tinkerbell... Two Spikes, two Buffys. Whatever will they do? Not what you're thinking! LOL   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 31 05/19/2006 09:46 am Finally!!! Was beginning to think it was never going to happen. You could have allot of fun with this, specially as Snr gets instant flashback as soon as Jnr has a thought, so no thinking of a Spike or Buffy Sandwich from the younsters, same with thinking their version is better looking than older, that could lead to interesting and amusing senario's...lol Wonder what The great avenger will make of Drusilla's warning? and wht he'll be hearing r what will happen when he tries to spy on Buffy and Co.? Should be fun. Well Jackers loved it like always. hopefully this won't get posted twice for some reason. Update Soon Harry. Now Harry would I do that to you???   Karyn Chapter 31 05/19/2006 09:39 am Great chapter jack!! can't wait to see the buffy's and spike's all interact with each other,...lol Neither can I???   pretty_in-Fangs Chapter 31 05/19/2006 09:35 am ::snicker:: I love how easily Spike can get jealous of himself. I know...he is a hoot   k Chapter 31 05/19/2006 08:09 am good chapter but it's weird that young buffy's first comment is about william/spike, and not the girl who looks just like her... She's a teenager, she's more interested in the cute guy than the older boring slayer   Jace Nox Chapter 31 05/19/2006 07:02 am *bows at your feet* You are a goddess! ""Smile at your own bird, Tinkerbell. That's one's mine," Spike snarled from the Kitchen doorway." I love it!!! Perfect entrance for the three of them! Keep up the great work!! Actually, if you'd like you can call me the Goddess of Evil...I wouldn't mind...really   Pin Chapter 31 05/19/2006 06:52 am Tinkerbell! LOL! Sometime you have to describe these wings - unless I missed them in an earlier chapter. I will describe the wings, but I believe that the setting has to be just right   Lyari Chapter 31 05/19/2006 06:42 am OMG!!! Its soo good! I'm a real fan... I couldn't write replies before... but now.... I read each chapter at least twice... real funny how Angle had get caught on the tree... hehehe.... I love the interaction between William and Spike... much less confusing since you had put each different name.... the past name for the futureself and the present name for the presenself... lol I'll love to read it when Xander will give his "expertise" about the situation... well then good chapter and story.... and please update soon... =) bye bye Thank you so much, I hope you continue to enjoy it   kim Chapter 31 05/19/2006 06:22 am And now young Buffy goes "Eeep!" Now, there are two for her eyes to roam. Nice Dru bit. I must give credit to Karyn for Dru...she is the best   dihcar Chapter 31 05/19/2006 05:43 am haha, tinkerbell, good one. I'm sure that little pouty Buffy will be happy with her version too. seeya Little pouty Buffy has some hard lessons ahead   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 31 05/19/2006 05:13 am *falls over laughing uproariously* glad you are enjoying it   Tamara Chapter 31 05/19/2006 04:23 am Methinks seeing that there's a Spike just for her will take the pout off of Younger Buffy's face. We can live in hope but maybe he likes the pout   Verda Chapter 30 07/15/2006 06:30 am Always wondered about that whole" death is your gift" stuff. He now has the love of the slayer. Great chapter. Thank you so much   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 30 07/15/2006 02:42 am poor flabbergasted spike yup...but he is sweet   Delicia Chapter 30 05/27/2006 03:19 am Nice! I'm happy that Buffy didn't back pedal! Also liking the idea of Spike allowing younger Buffy time before starting a physical relationship. I hope kissage is okay, though ;). So do I...but you never know with my bunnies!   sirc Chapter 30 05/18/2006 12:39 pm great chapter Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 30 05/16/2006 10:11 pm *falls over laughing* Don't hurt yourself.   vladt Chapter 30 05/16/2006 08:56 pm fine update. love buffy/william's conversation; spike quick take of the situation; and giles, not being "giles." thanks for the excellent read. This is pre Angelus Giles, he was a different man   Robyn Chapter 30 05/16/2006 08:35 pm I love that Buffy finally figured out the meaning behind the vision quest and William takes it the way she used to. Thought his reaction was really cute. And I loved Spike’s reaction when he found out young Buffy’s age and him not wanting her to grow up to fast. I also liked that he realized that Angel could overhear the meeting if he’s lurking outside as usual, hopefully that means they will be able to do something about it. I really enjoyed the update, thanks. Thank you...It's hard to remember everything...but I'm trying   Kat Chapter 30 05/16/2006 10:04 am lol i think he mis-understood. lol or I did. but I always thought hey full of love and death is her gift, who loves her and is technicly dead hmmm lol. Any way great chapter and I loved the spike/giles bonding The conversation will be completed in the next chapter   Jace Nox Chapter 30 05/16/2006 09:31 am I'm a bit confused with the double death is her gift thing. THough I can't wait to see the outcome of William and Spike and co getting together and meeting and talking etc. Keep up the good work Jack. Thanks sweetie, I'll try to elaborate   Karyn Chapter 30 05/16/2006 06:38 am giggles, poor spike just doesn't understand...awesome update! i love that spike and giles are working together, can't wait to find out Angel's reaction to the big news! *evil laugh* and i hope 'controlled circumstances' means chains..lol OOOHHH...didn't think of that! lol   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 30 05/16/2006 06:22 am I'm so looking forward to the big Scoobie meeting. So am I...It is going to be interesting   kim Chapter 30 05/16/2006 06:17 am "Refund policy" LOL Good to see spike making himself useful already. Spike was always treated as stupid rather than impulsive, I will try and make that distinction   Irina Chapter 30 05/16/2006 06:16 am I absolutely loved the sweet Spuffy (or should I say Wuffy) moments in this chapter. I really liked the Spike/Giles interaction. It's so great that Spike wants to help and be accepted in the group, he really made some good points in his conversation with Giles. Wonderful update! I think the interactions between this particular group will continue to develop   Athenewolfe Chapter 30 05/16/2006 05:27 am nice update sweetie! Thank you, you always brighten up my day   redwulf50 Chapter 30 05/16/2006 05:17 am lol, excellent chappie I truly enjoyed it You are sweet, but you owe me a chapter or ten!   Ella Chapter 30 05/16/2006 05:15 am Loved the update. Thank you so much   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 30 05/16/2006 04:26 am I always thought 'Death is your Gift' meant everytime she went out and slayed she saved somebody from death. So because she is prepared to die for the innocent, that's her gift to the world, because if that's her gift it's a pretty lousy gift, no wonder so many prefer employment with the devil, there you get, money, women, fame, recongnition the good stuff...ofcourse it costs you your soul but you have fun in the meantime...lol Maybe by death being her gift they meant someone who'se already dead. I can hear the Buffy/Spike argument now. 'you are only 16 years old Buffy' 'but i'll be 17 in a few weeks, that makes me an adult in Harry Potter verse.'then she'll pout and Spikes resolve will be out of the window....lol Ahhhh..young love...well youngish as William is as old as dirt, but first time he's been in a two way relationship..which is sad if you look at it...but let's not go there...lol Well still loving it Update soon Harry Oh but Harry, what if I want to go there?   Tamara Chapter 30 05/16/2006 03:56 am There was a delay? I think you truly have no idea how fast you are. Great chapter. I like how Younger Spike realizes that young Buffy is no way old enough for a physical relationship where Angel slept with her the minute she turned 17. Young Spike is smarter in some respects   Verda Chapter 29 07/15/2006 06:20 am Good! don't feel so for Angel. Yeah you're right, he was left there for 500 years, never thought of it that way. SHE SAID SHE LOVED HIM!!! Gotta love it Jacks Thank you..it took a while but it got there   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 29 07/15/2006 02:41 am lol, she let it slip yup...she really did   sirc Chapter 29 05/18/2006 12:34 pm great chapter Thank you   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 29 05/14/2006 11:09 pm hee hee hee Thank you   Delicia Chapter 29 05/14/2006 04:48 am You made a lot of good points about Angel; very insightful. Oh my goodness! Did she actually ahem, *FINALLY*, admit she loves him?! Yay, so happy now!!! Thanks She might back pedal   Mali Chapter 29 05/14/2006 01:14 am EEK! Happy, happy, happy, happy. Excellent chapter, love. Thank you, Love is always a good conversation   Kat Chapter 29 05/13/2006 11:04 pm oh wow great chapter. but i am a bit confused. LOL i know that that is kinda the point of this story though. my confusion how can we have 2 of each of them living in the same time period with ever changing memories ick it would drive me crazy cus their memories would never ever stay the same But they don't know that yet lol   Jace Nox Chapter 29 05/13/2006 09:35 pm *loud squeal and wags tail* BUFFY LOVES WILLIAM...BUFFY LOVES WILLIAM *bounces excitedly and eagerly awaits for the next chapter* Sorry I haven't reviewed in so long I've been so swamped with work. Keep up the good work Jack!!! Jace Nox Jace I've missed you   Robyn Chapter 29 05/13/2006 07:59 pm I am really enjoying the conversation between Spike and Buffy, and I absolutely loved how Spike tried to help Buffy understand what really happened between her and Angel. As for the cliffhanger, it was fantastic and evil all at the same time. Thanks for the update. I was going for evil, but I'll take the fantastic too   vladt Chapter 29 05/13/2006 07:59 pm great update. spike shooting his mouth off and buffy actually listening and buffy saying "i love you." thanks for the fantastic read. You are most welcome, but there is more conversation to coe yet!   Athenewolfe Chapter 29 05/13/2006 07:09 pm ahhhhhhh how sweet! Thank you, I don't do it often   TammyDevil666 Chapter 29 05/13/2006 07:07 pm Okay, it has to be said. You have the most evil cliffhangers that I've ever seen. Evil, I tell you! But I'm glad she finally told him. I don't think she has to worry about Spike not loving her anymore. Good chapter=) Thank you sooo much, you just made my day heehee Jack's evil!   Bridget Chapter 29 05/13/2006 07:04 pm Good chapter. Everything Spike said about Angel is so true. I would have to agree   kim Chapter 29 05/13/2006 06:16 pm Well, that just slipped out nice and clean, didn't it? About time someone gets her to understands these things. Put proper blame where it belongs, sweetie. I'm trying but she's stubborn!   Irina Chapter 29 05/13/2006 06:07 pm I really liked William's conversation with Buffy. Awww... I loved the ending of the chapter. I'm so glad the words are finally out of Buffy's mouth, can't wait to find out where things go from here. Fantastic update! Thank you, but the conversation is far from over   MarzBar Chapter 29 05/13/2006 04:55 pm Nice WAFF for Spuffy. When will Buffy start acting like an adult here? She's pretty weepy and expecting William to fix everything. More story please. That time will come, I think she need to heal first and William really doesn't mind   Tamara Chapter 29 05/13/2006 04:47 pm Absolutely LOVE Spike's speech to Buffy. It's so true. Angel had plenty of time to find out the details of his curse and even if he hadn't been a male slut before and after being turned , he was still the adult in the relationship so most of the responsibility was on him. I totally agree!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 29 05/13/2006 04:41 pm Awwww...she finally said it, even if it was a round about way of saying it, she did say it, and that's what is important. Ofcourse she doesn't have to worry about Spike not loving Buffy Jnr because he's already there and he hasn't even met her yet. I won't comment too much on Angel being a wanker and how everything Spike said was true, all blame lies at the peodophiles doorstep. He had a 100 years to get the facts, That was something that always confused me about the curse, how can a soul be called a curse? surely it should be referred to as a gift as it makes you feel emotions you'd never experience without it? Also what kind of stupid clause is a moment of perfect happiness? I mean REALLY i'm sure someone like Angel would feel completely contect after a good wank...specially after a 100 years...lol major case of blueballs there. Awwww...come on, now your just delaying the past meet future to torture us. it's 29 chapters already, i'm starting to think they'll never meet....wonder what they'll call Buffy Snr with Buffy Jnr around? can't call her Anne as it's the name of Spikes mother, and Slayer sounds so impersonal with the possible exception from Spike. Well Jackers still loving it Update soon Harry It might not be a curse for you, but it would certainly cause maximum torture to someone like Angelus and unfortunately with every curse there has to be a way for the curse to be broken. Though the fact that sex with an underaged girl rather than the birth of his son created this moment of perfect happiness, should have been a pretty big indicator that there was something seriously wrong with him.   Dar Chapter 29 05/13/2006 04:37 pm Just got to love that gentle hands on approach to explaining things. Barmy another great chapter It the Spike way of doing things...or should I say William   Karyn Chapter 29 05/13/2006 04:22 pm evil!!!! to have her say that and leave it there...weeps!! oh by the way awesome update! even if you did make me wait to read it...seeeeee, evil!! Hon, I never denied it!   deedo Chapter 29 05/13/2006 04:09 pm ooh she said it, she said it although I think her behaviour over the last days should have clued Spike in at least a little bit that she cared about him great update I think he might be shocked that she actually admitted it more than the concept being a surprise   SpaceLord Chapter 29 05/13/2006 03:54 pm Ohhh now the cats out of the bag Yup   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 29 05/13/2006 03:35 pm Is he really that dense he didn't already know that??? She didn't know...he's just shocked she actually said it!   Bigbird Chapter 29 05/13/2006 03:24 pm Oh she finaly said it!! Great chapter It took her long enough! lol...want to see her back peddal?   redwulf50 Chapter 29 05/13/2006 03:21 pm lol, very good chappie Poor spike Thank's sweetie...don't complain you wanted angst!   Verda Chapter 28 07/15/2006 06:10 am Oooo Double Spiked! now that would be fun! Interested in finding out why Spikes got his reflection. Loved that speech that he gave so much, the writers did an excellent job. Great one again. Thank you so muck   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 28 07/15/2006 02:38 am hehe, are they going to go boink?? you know I'm ot going to answer that...right?   sirc Chapter 28 05/18/2006 12:30 pm great chapter as always. Just a teeny question - did you mean to write Spike instead of William at the end when he is talking to Buffy? Not the last line. The one where he askes if Buffy has "gone barmy". No I meant to write William. Thanks for picking that up...it's all fixed now   Delicia Chapter 28 05/12/2006 03:46 am Wonderful chapter! I loved your use of the dialogue from Touched; it was so sweet. Thanks! Thank you, that dialogue is a favorite of mine   Fred Chapter 28 05/11/2006 05:08 am Loving the spuffy moments. Thank you   Robyn Chapter 28 05/10/2006 08:11 pm I like that Buffy realizes that she has given her friends a huge amount of power over her life and that had they been here, by following their normal course of action, would have hurt her. I also really enjoyed the talk that Buffy and William had, thanks for the great update. William and Buffy still have a lot to say to each other   Athenewolfe Chapter 28 05/10/2006 06:09 am lmao - nice updated *giggles* at thought of doing it in angel's flat! Blame Wolfie for suggesting it!   fallen_angel Chapter 28 05/10/2006 04:31 am *"What about the poof's flat? We could always send Spike to keep him busy." * An excellent idea in my opinion. I've always loved the way Spike's mind works. Sure u won't send me one of them now that u have two. Nope...sorry still need em both   kim Chapter 28 05/10/2006 04:17 am Okay, that was a total blonde moment on her part. Hellooooo! Did you listen to all he said? And, have you noticed one tenth of how he looks at you? Duh, Buffy. She's been through a lot   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 28 05/10/2006 02:25 am Now there's an idea, it will works on so many ends, it keeps Spike happy, and annoys Angel, it keeps William and Buffy happy and it pisses Angel off as he can smell the after effects which will make him mad, and confused and drive him crazy and paranoid because how could Spike and Buffy been at his apartment when Spike had been with him annoying the shit out of him? Works on so many levels The whole pass meeting future is getting closer...I am almost giddy, I specially want to see Buffy Snr's reaction to Buffy Jnr getting whood by EVIL Spike Jnr, and I don't know why she is worried about loving William, by the time she get's back home she'll have been dating him for 4 years, heck probably married with 2.5 kids....or maybe not but a dog named Spike atleast...lol Well sill loving it Jackers Update soon Harry Rofl...you always make me feel better after a sucky day Harry, thank you   Cewcew Chapter 28 05/10/2006 12:19 am Wings, hmmm Still thinken about em. Are they birdish Dragonflyish or gargoilish? I thinks the Suffy goodness my be comming up soon. Next chapter or 2? The wings will be explained   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 28 05/09/2006 11:43 pm Get a hotel room!! he was joking!   TammyDevil666 Chapter 28 05/09/2006 10:06 pm Eww, they do not wanna have sex in Angel's bed. There's no telling what he does in it...lol! It's not like he's getting any. This was a cute chapter and I'm happy for the Spuffiness, it seems to be progressing nicely. I love that you included the speech from "Touched." I always loved that scene. No worries for Spike, I'm sure he'll have his very own Buffy soon enough. Great chapter=) Thank you...more spuffyness coming soon   Richard Chapter 28 05/09/2006 08:12 pm Bloody hell! Buffy having sex in Angel's appartment? You really are trying to drive him insane. You think?   vladt Chapter 28 05/09/2006 07:27 pm wonderful read. william and buffy in the poof's flat is an hysterical visual to hold until the next chapter. thanks for the fun You are most welcome.   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 28 05/09/2006 05:44 pm That was a sweet chapter. Thank you so much   Kat Chapter 28 05/09/2006 05:38 pm oh wow you included the speach that is awsome. and buffy finially told spike some of what she is feeling yay There will be more conversation   deedo Chapter 28 05/09/2006 05:31 pm awww that was so sweet I loved that Buffy for once chose to speak about how she feels and didn't just ignore it Giles protective of Spike was cool too can't wait to read how young Spike tries to charm Buffy Jnr lovely update, just what I needed before going to sleep The charming young Spike might not be seen for another few chapters...sorry   Karyn Chapter 28 05/09/2006 04:38 pm lmao! *pictures spike and buffy breaking into angels to have sex in his bed* oh my god...can't breathe!! awesome chapter jack!! Thanks Sweetie, you know I'd be lost without you   Irina Chapter 28 05/09/2006 04:27 pm I'm so glad Buffy and Spike talked things out. Wonderful update as usual! They have a bit more talking to do yet!   maryperk Chapter 28 05/09/2006 04:07 pm Cool chapter, Jack. Love it. Thanks sweetie, I couldn't do it without you...you keep me sane   Verda Chapter 27 07/15/2006 05:56 am William's got wings! and Spike's got a reflection! Does this mean that William and the Slayer are relatives by their demon, because eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww, as Buffy would say. Amazing story. I need to go to bed but I can't stop reading. Go to bed...it will still be here tomorrow   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 27 07/15/2006 02:37 am why does he? answers coming   VWalk Chapter 27 05/31/2006 11:41 am Wow. I'm loving the plot twists and turns. I got a little confused with the way you told us that Spike (William) had wings. I went back and checked previous chapters and (unless I missed it twice) you never came right out and said he had wings or described them. A description would have been nice. I still love the story though. Wings coming...I promise   VWalk Chapter 27 05/31/2006 11:41 am Wow. I'm loving the plot twists and turns. I got a little confused with the way you told us that Spike (William) had wings. I went back and checked previous chapters and (unless I missed it twice) you never came right out and said he had wings or described them. A description would have been nice. I still love the story though. It's coming...but I like to make people wait...cause I'm evil   VWalk Chapter 27 05/31/2006 11:41 am Wow. I'm loving the plot twists and turns. I got a little confused with the way you told us that Spike (William) had wings. I went back and checked previous chapters and (unless I missed it twice) you never came right out and said he had wings or described them. A description would have been nice. I still love the story though. You will get a description of the wings...soon   sirc Chapter 27 05/17/2006 02:04 pm great chapter Thank you   Fred Chapter 27 05/11/2006 05:02 am this is getting really intricate. It will get worse before it gets batter   Delicia Chapter 27 05/08/2006 05:33 pm Yay! Great chapter! I loved hearing about the changes. Can't wait to hear about Spike's reflection. neither can I...damn bunny is gonna get me in trouble one day!   Cassie Chapter 27 05/08/2006 03:49 pm Wings? yes...wings!   deedo Chapter 27 05/08/2006 02:23 pm a fairy?? I really would have liked to see his face at this one *rofl* I love how Buffy seems to find always reasons to be close to Spike/William and seek comfort in his embrace Spike has a reflection, huh? can't wait to find out what that's about!! great update Neither can I...damn bunny   MarzBar Chapter 27 05/08/2006 02:43 am Well, this story has just rounded some new hairpin turns. Pure vampire demon with a soul and the protector of the realm. What kind of Buffys will come out of this? I have no idea...but blame wulfie...I always do   fallen_angel Chapter 27 05/08/2006 02:36 am OMG Spike's a fairy? ok I know u already answered that but i couldn't help it*snickers* More updates pls. LOL...I really like that bunny! lol   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 27 05/08/2006 01:38 am OK so Spike Snr has wings and Spike jnr has a reflection? I'll admit I find the whole wings part disturbing, probably because I watched underworld evolution yesterday and the winged vamp did not look very pretty to say the least, don't think buffy would like that version much. But should be intersting in a fight, wonder if a stake through the heart would still kill him...and if he has wings, he'd going to have a problem with hia duster getting in the way and not to mention the number of sirts he'll go through whenever he spreads his wings. Good thing he's going to be rich soon. So other Spike has a reflection, does that mean he was judged and found worthy but not completely but because it wasn't him asking for anything just an innocent bystander he wasn't dusted but awarded accordingly? Oh well will find out soon enough. So next update or the one after the past and present finally meet right? well should be interesting. Well Jackers loved the update Update soon Harry. P.S. So Joey is a baby kangeroo? Well knew it was one of the charators from Dawson's Creek You watch Dawson's creek? Harry I'm disappointed!   Cewcew Chapter 27 05/08/2006 01:15 am Spike has a reflection! Oh my! lol cant wait to fine out what thats about. neither can I! Truely...I blame the bunny   slinkypsychokit Chapter 27 05/08/2006 01:05 am One's got wings and the other a reflection. Huh. I think I like the results of this ritual. **giggle** Poor younger Buffy. Girl hasn't a clue what she's in for, does she? I mean, really. In her future lies a boyfriend who'll spend more time in front of the mirror than she will! LOL! So, so wonderful to see you, Jack! We've been feening for teh ficcies! Psychokitty gives you two paws up for the update! Thank you sweetie, It's nice to know you care   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 27 05/07/2006 09:58 pm Sweet! I think I'm going to love watching Spike and William interact. Particularly once we have both Buffy's, too. I'm looking forward to William and Spike interacting with Angel   Irina Chapter 27 05/07/2006 08:12 pm I love the way the Spikes are interacting with each other. Can't wait for younger Buffy to enter into the mix. Fantastic update, I really enjoyed reading it! Thank you...I actually not looking forward to that! it's scary! lol   letitia Chapter 27 05/07/2006 08:09 pm so glad to see the chapter. Didn't know that William had wings until Spike brought them up. And go Joyce for taking charge when they needed a break. Love the chapter. Can't wait for the meeting The meeting will be interesting   Karyn Chapter 27 05/07/2006 07:22 pm awesome update jack!! giggles @ spike calling william a fairy...that was too funny! lol...thank's sweetie   Athenewolfe Chapter 27 05/07/2006 06:12 pm great update sweetie - i really enjoyed it! Thank you...I'll try to work hard to get some more written   Robyn Chapter 27 05/07/2006 05:54 pm I love how Buffy told William that it was now his turn dealing with Spike and Joyce’s ability to stop a fight with a single word. She is Mom and she uses her powers well. Thanks for a fantastic update. Thank you...I've seen my own mum do the same thing and she's the master of 'the look', Joyce reminds me of my mum so I have to add these things   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 27 05/07/2006 05:11 pm Oh and apparently Richard has never read the books where holy objects only work on vampires when the person believes in that faith... hehe, which personally I like better than the whole Christianity is the only thing to conquer evil theory *gags* I think he missed the bit about forgiveness too   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 27 05/07/2006 05:09 pm Just what Spike needs... a reflection so he can admire himself *sighs* lol LOL   vladt Chapter 27 05/07/2006 05:00 pm very good. thanks for the entertaining read. You are most welcome. Thank you for reading it   Chapter 27 05/07/2006 04:57 pm I can see it now *g* "What is he?" Angel asks "He's a bloody Vampire Pixie." Spike asks then dodges away Watch it or you'll be attacked by an elf!   Richard Chapter 27 05/07/2006 04:46 pm I also wonder what kind of wings William has now. But I'm going with bat wings to go with his being a demon still. How exactly do you mistake a demon, an angel and a fairy? The wings are pretty distinctive. Unless they're something else again? Spike was making fun of him. It was a joke. The wings will be described.   Richard Chapter 27 05/07/2006 04:39 pm Interesting. Though it would have made more sense if William were now immune to sunlight & wood while remaining vulnerable to holy objects. His patron is a nature goddess and not the one to whom all those holy objects are dedicated. William was forgiven for his past actions, he has taken his place as a true champion. His patron may have been Mother Earth, but the forgiveness is all encompassing.   SpaceLord Chapter 27 05/07/2006 04:28 pm Ohh wings and stuff....he's like an Angel now then, that would sort of make sense since from what I understand demons are fallen angels. I will try to give more details in the chapters to come   dihcar Chapter 27 05/07/2006 04:00 pm very nice chapter, love the pure vampire bit. I can't wait to see him in action. seeya Neither can I   kim Chapter 27 05/07/2006 03:25 pm A reflection? Whoa! OH, let me take a stab at the reflection theory...It will make it easier for Spike to make the right choices, with young Buffy, because he'll have to look at himself in the mirror now....Because people with consciences have to face who they are every day, and I've always thought that it's another help to the soulless demon that doesn't face guilt, to have no reflection. And William's a fairy *snort* No, I know...not a fairy, but that comment was priceless. What do his wings look like, anyway? Insect wings? Bird wings? It's a mom thing, Giles...you wouldn't get it. The wings will be explained   Kat Chapter 27 05/07/2006 03:19 pm yikes great chapter oh my wings thats great. hmmm i have to wonder what is going to happen. lol i guess i will have to wait and see I will explain it all...at the meeting   maryperk Chapter 27 05/07/2006 03:11 pm Cool chapter, jack. Thanks sweetie...you are a doll   Verda Chapter 26 07/15/2006 05:43 am Now you've almost got me crying, evil Jacks! " Will this one Love us?" it almost broke my heart. It's not black and white when it comes to Spike, she has to remember that. Wonderful chappie. Sorry I made you almost cry...you know that I was going for the actual tears, right? I'm evil...what can I say   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 26 07/15/2006 02:36 am i like all the spuffy niceness Thank you...me too   Fred Chapter 26 05/11/2006 04:56 am She is home. I always thought so   duke6665 Chapter 26 05/09/2006 04:42 pm another great update. i am loving this more and more.can't wait for the next chapter. Thank you so much   Delicia Chapter 26 05/08/2006 05:26 pm The past Spike's insecurities are so sad . But the hope is there, which is good. I'm glad he's all glowy too! me too...I like spike to be happy   Cassie Chapter 26 05/08/2006 03:48 pm great read Thank you   sirc Chapter 26 05/04/2006 09:47 am great chapter Thank you   fallen_angel Chapter 26 05/04/2006 07:41 am double Spike? one for each? or u could just parcel one to me* gives most endearing smile* I could...but I'm not gunna EVIL remember   deedo Chapter 26 05/03/2006 04:16 pm lovely update [i]'“Does it get better? Will this one love us?” the quietly whispered words were filled with anguish'[/i] that one line had me all weepy I hated how Buffy broke his heart again and again all over season 6 but I know you will treat him better Is it just me or does Angel get more annoying with every chapter, can't someone beat him to a bloody pulp and dust him already?? *whines* I so love protective William but you didn't reveal anything about his new "status" you evil fiend Angel has his own journey to make. William's status will be explained in the next chapter   Ella Chapter 26 05/03/2006 10:20 am Hmmm two Buffys and two Spikes, makes me think naughty things. lol and loved chapter 25, lmao! Thank you...I'm evil not naughty   Cewcew Chapter 26 05/03/2006 12:05 am Awwww, Sweat chappie. Yay! 2 Spikes, now young Buffy can have her very own Spike! lol...but which one will young buffy want?   Karyn Chapter 26 05/02/2006 10:06 pm ohhh wonderful ...brought a tear to my eye!!! sniff! Thank you, I always did like my glimpses of vulnerable Spike   kim Chapter 26 05/02/2006 07:39 pm Ugh...she makes things so hard...dumb girl. Definitely the slow one of the class. And of course, younger Spike has the same capability as his older self. Older Spike wouldn't have happened this way if the young one didn't possess the building blocks in the first place. It's simple. Can't say I agree Kim, I think she has been through an amazing amount and just needs some time to deal with the new developments.   Oracleholly Chapter 26 05/02/2006 06:58 pm Excellent chapter, jacks! Thanks sweetie, you're the best   Robyn Chapter 26 05/02/2006 06:38 pm My heart broke for Spike when he and William were talking in the bathroom. Poor Buffy trained by Giles to only see black and white, and now she has to learn to see grey. I love how protective William is of her about it. And I really, really loved that she admitted to herself that he was home. It might get a little worse before it gets better   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 26 05/02/2006 05:25 pm I'd leave you another dirty review... but after being told the last one was bad.... lol   vladt Chapter 26 05/02/2006 05:08 pm fine read, even if buffy can not see shades between black and white. thanks for the read. She'll get there, eventually   Palerider Chapter 26 05/02/2006 04:24 pm I've just found this story and I love it, it has everything, great humour, bit of UST and Angels creepiness is brilliant in a very creepy way. I can't wait to read more. Thank you soooo much, you just made my day   MarzBar Chapter 26 05/02/2006 04:19 pm Two Spikes together. I seem to have lost a Buffy. I'm too blonde for this story (sometimes) and need to go back and re-read the paradoxical bits. More story please. I'll catch up soon. LOL...it's gonna get worse! ;D   Irina Chapter 26 05/02/2006 03:31 pm Great scene in the bathroom between the two Spikes. I feel bad for them right now, but i'm betting they will find the love they're looking for. I just love when Spike gets in protective mode. Wonderful chapter! Thank you, I think you are right, but I wonder which one will find it first   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 26 05/02/2006 02:47 pm Awww....poor Spikey, not feeling the love, he needs his Buffy to give his deflated ego a kiss to make it all better...lol Plus I want to see how disturbed Buffy Jnr and snr would get seeing their younger/older self making out with their older/younger mate..hehee seriously freaky. Ha trust Angel to add 2+2 and come up with 65, When exactly did he think Giles did this? He's not even been close to the Summer residence for days. idiot, didn't even figure it out Even when he knows Dawn and Joyce hate his guts, and that was a low blow from Giles, the two were perfectly justified to discourage Angels Stalker tendencies...it's for his own good, someone else would have him arrested and then where would he be when the day breaks? Dust that's what and the poor cops would have to start a seach party thinking he'd escaped, stopping them doing more important jobs like eating Dounuts and drinking coffee. Buffy is a strange bird, she knows her Spike can change but does not think the younger Spike who has been sharing his mind with senior Spike wants to change, even though Spike Jnr now knows that Dru only wants him because she can't have her Daddy, and knows how much he admires Joyce and loves Dawn and all the other stuff and she still thinks he is evil and doesn't want to change, no wonder she never saw Angel for the git he was...she's blind as a bat and dumb as a doorknob. Well loving it Jackers (isn't Jack a baby Kangeroo?) Update Soon Harry P.S. What exactly did Spike Snr get then? Sunblock 3000? what? Give her time...she'll learn and NO cheeky, a JOEY is a baby kangaroo! lol   letitia Chapter 26 05/02/2006 02:23 pm of course Angel is going to make things worse. SO glad to see this softer side of Spike now that they are separated abut they are going to have to be able to deal with "William" and his protectiveness of Buffy. Love the chapter. Thank you, there are going to be a lot of developments, I hope you continue to enjoy   dihcar Chapter 26 05/02/2006 12:33 pm Sorry, i meant "two Spikes". I knew what you meant   dihcar Chapter 26 05/02/2006 12:32 pm Very nice, nice character develpmont for Buffy, she's starting to change. Hey, you have to Spike's now, you should give the younger one to young-Buffy so she can have a proper education it the arts of "real"love,hehe. see ya Gimme a chance...I'll get there! lol   Kat Chapter 26 05/02/2006 12:23 pm I feel for buffy. I meen it would be hard to have to see grey in a world where you had been taught to see black and white. and while her younger self might have a better deal of it it isnt overly helping the elder right now Elder Buffy does have a lot to deal with   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 26 05/02/2006 12:04 pm Awww... Looks like Buffy's taking definite steps forward in her personal development. And I loved the little conversation between the two Spikes. Thank you, It may take her some time, but she'll get there   pfeifferpack Chapter 26 05/02/2006 11:37 am “Does it get better? Will this one love us?” the quietly whispered words were filled with anguish. And there in a nutshell is why my heart breaks for Spike on the show....this clearly showed through even back with Dru. Excellent update. Kathleen I'll try to be kinder to him than the show's writers were   Athenewolfe Chapter 26 05/02/2006 11:32 am wonderful *sigh* Thank you, you are too sweet   maryperk Chapter 26 05/02/2006 11:04 am Good chapter. Protective William, yum. He is, isn't he! YUM   Verda Chapter 25 07/15/2006 05:30 am ROTFL, I damn near coughed up a lung! Caan'tt quuitt laughinnngg. If my son wasn't deaf...I'd of woke him up with my howling. That is without a doubt, one of the funniest things I've ever read. KUDOS Jacks. Joyce, holy water, love it. Thank you so much, you just made my day   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 25 07/15/2006 02:27 am rofl! Thank you, *Jack bows*   Fred Chapter 25 05/11/2006 04:50 am Bloody brilliant! Thank you   Delicia Chapter 25 05/08/2006 05:19 pm Ha! That was brilliant! LOL knew you'd like it!   Cassie Chapter 25 05/08/2006 03:47 pm that was really funny Thank you   Karyn Chapter 25 05/02/2006 09:55 pm great update!!! you need to smack me when i miss a chapter! poor spike, always with the nutters...rofl Sorry sweetie, my bad   Tamara Chapter 25 05/02/2006 11:58 am It's not nice to make people laugh thier head off when thier in a library. *snicker* Um...you do realise that they are at Giles' flat, right?   Athenewolfe Chapter 25 05/02/2006 11:26 am Oh the torture... the torture... that is possible the funniest bit of angel torture I have read! I certainly had fun writing it...but I have to thank my IM buddies for their wonderful contributions   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 25 05/01/2006 06:36 am OMG...that was hilarious, in an extreamly painful way...lol well serves the bugger right for spying on him...maybe he'll think twice before spying on her...ofcourse the nutter probably STILL won't get the picture of not being liked...oh well nobody ever claimed big forheads meant big brains. So what was the out of place thing that Spike junior noticed that he has not been able to comment on? Is somebody spying on him? maybe from the nuetrals or evil? What's happenning? And also did the ritual change the two Vamps? or not or just the older and not the younger one? So many questions not going to be answered in your reply but I just have to ask....lol So we now have 2 Spikes for 2 Budffy I wanted one Spike fortwo Buffy's atleast at the beginning because it would be soo amusing...though Buffy Jnr will probably be more atttracted to the less annoying one too...so that might be fun...but she'd probably like the more teenager like fun Spike aswell I guess. DUDE!!!! it's been 3 days I was getting worried, my right eyes was twitching I tell you, I have no idea what that actually means but it was twitching!!! Have missed the updates!!!! LOVED it Update Soon Harry That's 'Dudette' to you Mister! Sorry it took so long, I'll try to make sure you don't have to wait in the future   sirc Chapter 25 05/01/2006 04:59 am great chapter Thank you   MarzBar Chapter 25 05/01/2006 12:34 am LMAO!! I am amazed at how many pranks Joyce and Dawn managed to pull that would happen to one hapless Captain Forehead at the same time. Fun chapter. He's not big with the obvious is he?   slinkypsychokit Chapter 25 05/01/2006 12:26 am //“I see, and what exactly was it that burned his boy bits when he climbed out of the tree?” Buffy glared hard at her sister. “Probably the holy water that I watered the tree with,” Joyce answered,// can't review...howling with laughter... LOL...don't hurt yourself, you can review me next time   fallen_angel Chapter 25 04/30/2006 11:54 pm *falls off chair and then through floor laughing* This was too funny! Go Joyce and Dawnie! Oh and Suppose season two and Six Spike got seperated. seriously loved this part: "...listening to When Harry Met Sally: The Early Years. and Dawnie" Thank you, I'm sure enjoying the fall out   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 25 04/30/2006 11:31 pm Hee hee hee hee hee. You rock. That's just vicious. Thank you, I did say I was evil   Isabel Chapter 25 04/30/2006 10:36 pm Aww damn! Want more. Love Dawn and Joyce. Clever Summers women. I read this all night and want more. What? I'm greedy lol. This story is excellent, I can't wait for an update. You're doing a great job. Thank you and I try to update every second day   Robyn Chapter 25 04/30/2006 10:29 pm This had me laughing so hard that I could hardly catch my breath. I love how Joyce and Dawn treated the tree for pests. I love that the problem of two Spikes in one body has been solved, and older Spike's reaction to his younger self. Thanks for the great update. I am so glad you are enjoying it   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 25 04/30/2006 09:31 pm OMFG!!! LMAO!!! loved it!!! Thank you   vladt Chapter 25 04/30/2006 09:26 pm hilarious read, thank you very, very much. You are very, very welcome.   Pyrochilde Chapter 25 04/30/2006 09:20 pm LOL!!! That is just priceless!!! HAHAHAHA He sooo deserved that!!! :-) Oh yeah! It was satisfying to write too   TammyDevil666 Chapter 25 04/30/2006 08:32 pm Okay, that was really mean of them. Who am I kidding? That was bloody hilarious! Bet that'll teach the creepy stalker not to climb up a tree and spy on a teenager. Jeez, ever heard of using the front door? He should know better now. And two Spike's? You can't go wrong with that, even if the other one is a bit on the annoying side. Great chapter=) Give him time!   Cewcew Chapter 25 04/30/2006 07:49 pm roflmao!! Oh I so got a visual! OMG to funny! Thank you...that was what I was hoping for   kim Chapter 25 04/30/2006 07:03 pm OMG, that's freaking hilarious!! Oh, wow...yeah, he'll be wary of that tree, for....oh, forever now. LOLOLOLOLOLOL......that's the best prank ever on a stalker! And young Spike's a hoot. Now, what exactly is our Spike? Hmm? You'll see (Jack sings)   letitia Chapter 25 04/30/2006 06:57 pm love Dawn and Joyce working together on the tree. Angel better watch out. And what is up with the two separate Spikes?? Can't wait for more. Patience will be rewarded...all will be explained   jl1980 Chapter 25 04/30/2006 06:21 pm wonderful!! i love it!! love the ending too, love dawn and joyce!!! great update!! Thank you so much   Yzba Chapter 25 04/30/2006 06:04 pm Just hilarious;) Good work once again Jack;) Thank you so much...I might be evil but I do love reviews!   deedo Chapter 25 04/30/2006 05:07 pm and the Joyce/Dawn-tag-team strikes again *rofl* I liked the young Spike, really cute and I'm really curious to find out from what exactly Spike had to return to his human form to fit into the car altogether a brilliant chapter!! I promise that information is coming   Firebird234 Chapter 25 04/30/2006 05:03 pm Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha *wipes tear from eye* ehehe oh poor ehehehe Angel HA actually not poor Angel *snickers* oh thats funny, and Two Spikes hmmmm wonder what Buffy will do about it, I know I would do *big smile* erm ehehe I wonder what this is doing to the Angel of the Future *gives a chuckle* AH...but will Angel have a future?   Irina Chapter 25 04/30/2006 04:48 pm Mmmmm... Two Spike's, now that was a nice surprise. Interesting that older Spike finds his younger self so annoying. *grins* Gotta love those Summer women, the tree scene was absolutely hysterical! I'm really looking forward to finding out what younger Spike saw. Wonderful update! p.s. I like the pretty new banner. THank you and I'll pass on the comment to Karyn   SpaceLord Chapter 25 04/30/2006 04:06 pm Practical jokes on Angel is just too much fun, that is probably the best thing about this story so far Guess I'll have to word harder then   redwulf50 Chapter 25 04/30/2006 03:59 pm ROFLMAO I had you in mind when I wrote it Wulfie   mts.tyra Chapter 25 04/30/2006 03:57 pm Man, Jack!!!

I really love your work. -mts.tyra- mts.tyra@gmail.com Thank you, it's reviews like this that make all the hard work worth it   maryperk Chapter 25 04/30/2006 03:55 pm Angel torture, frigging hilarious. thanks Sweetie   Shadow Chapter 25 04/30/2006 03:54 pm ROFL Jack this was worth the wait...

Head full of curls, bare chested in white pants, bathed in moonlight, just beautiful! Thanks for the imagery. Love this. Thank you, I think he's gorgeous too   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 24 07/15/2006 02:09 am I liked the sweet spuffy moment Thank you, i like moments like that myself   Fred Chapter 24 05/11/2006 04:44 am who is laughing? Not telling   Delicia Chapter 24 05/08/2006 05:13 pm Cool ritual. I hope that wasn't ominous laughter! I am forced to keep my mouth shut! sorry   Cassie Chapter 24 05/08/2006 03:46 pm Who's laughing? keep reading!   sirc Chapter 24 04/30/2006 05:29 am great chapter Thank you   Joyce Chapter 24 04/28/2006 09:41 am Arrgh! This is a doozy of a cliffhanger! Who is the culprit? Please make haste with the next chapter. You know there is no gaurentee that the answer will be in the next chapter!   Cewcew Chapter 24 04/27/2006 11:32 pm Hay! What.. Where's the rest of that chapter? Words, need more words. I wana know what happend! What, what.. O come on. You tease! Fine you chapter cuter offer steasing tipe person you. Ill just sit here and, and hope you update soon.

Oh if only you knew! lol   vladt Chapter 24 04/26/2006 10:34 pm spike is laughing, right? it is a good thing, right? very good update. very fine read, thanks Thank you, i am glad the you are continuing to enjoy it   Shadow Chapter 24 04/26/2006 06:18 pm OMG Spike is all glowy *GRIN* does this mean Spike's demon has become an "angel" *Snicker* GOOOOOOOOOO SPIKE! Good Chapter Jack... MORE! You know I'm not gonna tell you! lol   anza Chapter 24 04/26/2006 06:08 pm that is so evil! You are wicked for leaving your readers hanging like this! Please write some more soon, thanks. I keep telling everyone that I'm evil!   deedo Chapter 24 04/26/2006 04:29 pm oh god, shirtless Spike with his cute gel-free curls, dressed all in white and a garland of flowers on his head *rofl* I think that visual will be stuck in my mind for days how could you just stop there?? now I have to wonder about all the possible continuations untill the day after tomorrow you're going to kil me one day with those cliffies of yours Oh no the cliffie's won't do that, but if I took a day's holiday from posting....? Heehee, I'm evil   Athenewolfe Chapter 24 04/26/2006 02:09 pm oh i wonder what happened? Excellant story so far! I am really enjoying it - spike sounds handsome in white. one word...YUM   Irina Chapter 24 04/26/2006 01:10 pm OMG... Jacks you are officially the queen of the evil cliffhangers... lol. Lovely picture you painted of Spike during the ritual. Fantastic update! Thank you, I accept the crown greatfully   Richard Chapter 24 04/26/2006 12:49 pm Well, I'm very disappointed in Joyce's and Dawn's abilities. Either of them could have easily trumped Wolfie's manipulation and made themselves invulnerable to further attack. Joyce could have pointed out that she has lots of faith in Spike since she believes the ritual is risky instead of suicidal. And of course Wulfie isn't alarmed since he doesn't care about Spike personally. He's not a lover like Buffy, nor a sibling like Dawn nor a friend like Joyce. He's not the one that would suffer if Spike dusts. There is no possible response to this because it cuts Wulfie out of the discussion. Dawn could have started out the same but continued differently. She could have told Spike that if he was willing to leave her then she didn't want him in her life. And then left for home, telling Spike that if he made the right choice (to NOT risk his life) then he knew where to find her. Implicitly: fine do the damn ritual just don't call me if you do it. Again, there is no possible response, not even by Spike! Belief in something is a continuous variable from 0 to 1 inclusive not a discrete variable either 0 or 1. And then Buffy could have threatened with death anyone who helps Spike do the ritual regardless of outcome, counting it as attempted murder on her fiance. And I doubt Buffy would be happy with Giles' nervous response if she casually informed him that she would have killed him if Spike dusts so he must have a great deal of faith in Spike to put his own life in Spike's hands. Wolfie's manipulation worked because all three ladies DO have faith in Spike. If you have faith you don't require proof, if you need proof you don't have faith. Winning a battle is not as important as understanding what you have lost. Ultimatium are only used by weak fools who can not find an intelligent way to gain their desires or they are intelligent enough to realise that what they gain by winning may not be as important to them as what they have lost. Thank god these ladies are smarter than that!   Robyn Chapter 24 04/26/2006 12:26 pm I love how protective the Summers' girls of Spike. Then not wanting him to do the ritual out of the slightest possibility that he might not survive it. The ritual was very beautiful. And of course you left us with the requisite evil cliff-hanger. Thanks for the great update. I'm beginning to enjoy the reactions to my cliffies...cause you know...evil   Firebird234 Chapter 24 04/26/2006 12:22 pm YES, I knew Spike would pass. well...yeah   kim Chapter 24 04/26/2006 11:35 am Yeah, Spike would laugh about his new status. He does gleeful well! And yum on the visual. ;) You have no idea how right you are!   Yzba Chapter 24 04/26/2006 11:08 am You are EVIL......you can't stop a chapter like that!! that's just mean! *pouts* Oh but I can...truly!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 24 04/26/2006 10:50 am WHAT!!!!! did he lose his bleach job what happened? cannot end it there, want to know what's so bleedin' funny...and was it a good idea to do a cleansing ritual when he still has the old Spike inside him that might not completely have gone turncoat? Because even if olderfuture Spike might be worthy, surely the younger and still head over heals with Drusilla would still be a grey area? Sly Slayer, using the power of three, mother, lover and daughter/sister to sway his decision but even more sly Wolfie (why the hell does that name sound familiar? is it the name of another auther or reviewer or something?) using reverse phychology on them. Catch 22, if you say no you are screwed and if you say yes you have to let him go through with it...very clever. Poor Spikey, going au natural gel free and in White, bet he looking like a light bulb..hehee Well obviously the ritual was successful, would love to know what the laughter is about or even who from Update soon Harry It was redwulf's (sometimes known as wulfie)challenge. That's where the name comes from...as for the rest...you're British...blame the french   Oracleholly Chapter 24 04/26/2006 10:46 am Okay...you are officially evil. How could you end it like that. I'm just now catching up and I demand to know who was laughing. Was it Spike? Was it say a passing by Xander? Did Angelus somehow stumble across their path? Was it Dawn? GRRRR Jacks GRRRR I think I've been pretty upfront about being evil...it's even on my business cards.   Tamara Chapter 24 04/26/2006 10:28 am Is laughter a good thing or a bad thing? you'll jast have to wait and see   maryperk Chapter 24 04/26/2006 10:13 am Laughter ringing through the night. Now if that doesn't leave us all with a sense of foreboding. Great chapter. Foreboding? hell yeah!   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 24 04/26/2006 09:22 am Oooo! Not only did you tell us about the ritual, we even got to see it, same chapter. Yay! Sounds like it went well, too. actually that probably depends on your definition of well   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 24 04/26/2006 09:05 am What WHAT??!! Is he naked or something?? Your mind is a scary place   Kat Chapter 24 04/26/2006 08:55 am oh dear now what is so funny. hmmm odd. lol next chapter should give you a clue to that!   Verda Paradox 23 07/15/2006 04:56 am Puts a whole new meaning on " The devil made me do it"? Angelus corrupting Angel. Get on to the ritual! Marvelous chapter. Thank you so much, you really are having a day of reading, arn't you?   DarkBloodyMistress Paradox 23 07/15/2006 02:01 am i know what my vote is for... yup lol...me too   Fred Paradox 23 05/11/2006 04:36 am Buffy is gonna be pissed. Oh Yeah!   Delicia Paradox 23 05/08/2006 05:04 pm Ooops. Spike didn't tell Buffy about the ritual. *sing-song* Someone's in trouble! OH YEAH..and Buffy is sneaky   Cassie Paradox 23 05/08/2006 03:45 pm Great read thank you   Isabel Paradox 23 04/30/2006 10:17 pm I share Spike's amusement at the idea that Xander is an expert in something. But it's true, he read so many comic books in his life that he probably knows more about time travel than anybody else lol Ah...comic expertize takes on a whole new meaning   Athenewolfe Paradox 23 04/26/2006 02:10 pm excellant update sweetie - I enjoyed it very much! Thank you so much, you always make my day   Athenewolfe Paradox 23 04/26/2006 02:03 pm excellant update sweetie - I enjoyed it very much! THank you soo much, I do love hearing from you   fallen_angel Paradox 23 04/25/2006 05:51 am eureka! that's what u were suppose to distract me from! the ritual! common spill the beans tell us what the ritual is about. Next chapter...I promise   Cewcew Paradox 23 04/25/2006 12:45 am Buffy and rituals are so unmixy. Lol, Poor Buff. I am so lookinf forword to the meeting. Hop it will be as soon for me as for them tomorrow? UM....maybe???   vladt Paradox 23 04/24/2006 04:41 pm very good read. thanks. "what ritual?" and they actually need xander for something, you are stretching the boundaries of fiction here. thanks again No one will be more surprised that Xander himself!   pretty_in_fangs Paradox 23 04/24/2006 03:58 pm Hey now! You can't stop there! We were about to hear about the ritual! :;laugh:: evil. Ritual next chapter...I did warn everyone I was evil...you had to expect I'd do that!   Richard Paradox 23 04/24/2006 01:59 pm Does Willow have a crush on Jenny Calendar? Cause that's what it sounds like. And surprisingly enough, it makes perfect sense. Willow is being seduced by the idea of magic.   kim Paradox 23 04/24/2006 12:05 pm Yes, writing a literal representation of the guilt clause was a very good idea. Haven't seen that before. I do think the soul should be anchored in Angel just so the pure Angelus can never be released. And once that's done, then Angel needs to be sent off to L.A. for Doyle's help, and hopefully, he never hears about a Shanshu reward, just to keep him a slight bit more humble. Of course, Angelus never really had any humanity in the first place, but at least he didn't want to end the world. He liked his creature comforts, same as anybody. You really want to save Angel don't you?   deedo Paradox 23 04/24/2006 11:28 am it's great to be finally able to read your stories again, I really missed them I liked how things worked out so far The metaphor you used to describe Angels curse is quite creativ and appropriate are they really gonna 'rescue' Tara?? that would be cool Can't wait to find out what that ritual is all about and how the young Scoobies are going to react to all the news next chapter will hold the ritual   Irina Paradox 23 04/24/2006 10:56 am Very insightful chapter, Wolfie's explanation of Angel's curse was really interesting. Can't wait to learn more about the mysterious ritual. Great update! Next chappie...I promise   Kat Paradox 23 04/24/2006 08:29 am hmmmm i wonder oh i wonder What do you wonder?   Shadow Paradox 23 04/24/2006 08:14 am OOOO Corrupted Angel... DUST THE BUGGER! *GRIN* And I second Spike... Xander good for something? naahh unbelieveable... *Snicker* Great chapter Jack... MORE! Maybe he'll surprise you...but don't hold your breath!   Tamara Paradox 23 04/24/2006 08:09 am Very good visualization of Angel's curse not to mention one hell of a good description of Xander. It's because of the comic books that Xander's the expert, right? Yep...it's amazing what a comic can teach   Harry 4Eyes Paradox 23 04/24/2006 07:55 am uh oh...The two Brits are in trouble, but being British no doubt we can blame the French somehow, something we do very well, blame someone or something else...lol So this spell has allowed Buffy to tap into her unknown power...should be interesting to see how she likes being with Angel when she can see the whole soul poking the demon...lol not a very nice soul is it? poking is not a nice thing to do..no wonder Angelus went all end the world crazy, it was getting poked for a century, it would drive anyone barmy...lol. Ofcourse won't be a problem for long as Buffy gets her Salty goodness soon as Cordelia would say. Well that is if the two Spikes can be split in two that is ;) Xander time paradox expert, he's going to milk that one for all it's worth that's for sure, ofcourse won't get him anywhere with Buffy but will be good for his soul. Well still loving it Update soon Harry oh yeah...I see Xander definately milking the situation   sirc Paradox 23 04/24/2006 05:50 am great chapter Thank you   betraktor Paradox 23 04/24/2006 04:36 am evil cliffhanger....but I guess you are entitled. Love the story please continue.... What can I say...evil is my nature   redwulf50 Paradox 23 04/24/2006 04:20 am bloody excellent chappie You are so spoilt...I'm thinking rations   kim Paradox 23 04/24/2006 03:40 am Dunh-dun-duh......Wolfie let the cat out of the bag... Heh..there's no hiding from what's going on with Angel now. It really was a stupid curse not to just bind the soul to him. Ahhh, but you see that's the nature of the curse...It's not meant to be a blessing   Elizabeth Anne Summers Paradox 23 04/24/2006 02:02 am WHAT RITUAL???!! read the nest chapter and you'll see   Robyn Paradox 23 04/24/2006 01:03 am Thanks for filling us in on what Buffy saw when she looked at Angel. Your visual of what is going on with him is the perfect explanation of him. Also thanks for the clarification of Xander's humanity. Now do we finally get to find out about the ritual? Next chapter...the ritual   Yzba Paradox 23 04/24/2006 12:38 am grrrrrrrrrr...more please? LOL...it's coming...promise   Verda Chapter 22 07/15/2006 04:46 am Growling Buffy, at Dawn no less, yay she isn't completely possesive of Spike. Man, that must have been some ugly darkness. Great chapter. Thank you, i went with what Ive alway believed   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 22 07/15/2006 01:39 am what's the new power and why is she all wiggy? More information coming   Fred Chapter 22 05/11/2006 04:30 am that was beautifully written. Thank you so much...you just made my day   Delicia Chapter 22 05/08/2006 04:58 pm Another wonderful chapter! I guess Angel is so not with the glowy. He must have really freaked her out! hell yeah! ewww   Cassie Chapter 22 05/08/2006 03:44 pm Love the last line LOL Thank you   vladt Chapter 22 04/21/2006 04:31 pm very good chapter, very evil ending. thanks for the enjoyable read. looking forward to partial enlightenment in the next few updates. thanks again Thank you sooo much...evil is my middle name   Robyn Chapter 22 04/21/2006 03:47 pm Thanks for the update. I love that she was called on her growling. I am looking forward to what scared Buffy so much, and I am also looking forward to finding out more about her slayer abilities. I might have to split those two things up...sorry   UncagedMuse Chapter 22 04/21/2006 12:21 pm Oh please, new chap soon! This is so awesome and I can't wait to hear what younger Buffy saw when she was looking at Angel! It's grim!   kim Chapter 22 04/21/2006 11:31 am Oh, I forgot about the humanity spell still being in effect! Young Buffy got quite a vision of Angel, if he was effected by it. hmmm, you could say that   slinkypsychokit Chapter 22 04/21/2006 10:43 am oh god, now you're just trying to torture me, aren't you? What'd younger Buffy see? Tell me! Tell me! **bites nails and glares at uber evil non-shareyness** **pout** Next chapter...I promise   Karyn Chapter 22 04/21/2006 08:48 am wonderful update!! can't wait for Buffy to describe Angel's humanity ...or lack thereof..lol IT will be in the next chapter...promise   Athenewolfe Chapter 22 04/21/2006 08:27 am I enjoyed the parts about Angel and the inconsiderate nature - very funny I'm starting to think of him as the comic relief   fallen_angel Chapter 22 04/21/2006 08:18 am whoa... what was that about? more please. The answers are in the next chapter   maryperk Chapter 22 04/21/2006 07:26 am Awesome chapter. Thank you,sweetie. It wouldn't be half so funny if not for you   Shadow Chapter 22 04/21/2006 07:09 am *gasp* 5 bucks says she just got a glimpse of Angel's "reasons" for "falling in love with her" SPUFFY SMUT REQUIRED! Great chapter Jack. Keep em coming! It's a little more complicated than that Shadow   sirc Chapter 22 04/21/2006 06:04 am great chapter THank you   Irina Chapter 22 04/21/2006 05:36 am Yep, Wolfie is totally right older growly Buffy definitely won't share her Spike with anyone. I liked the sweet moment when the Summer's clan enfolded Buffy in group hug. Can't wait to find out what terrified Buffy so badly. Great chapter! thank you-and it will be in the next chapter   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 22 04/21/2006 04:52 am Oh Yeah completely forgot, this supposed time travel guru wouldn't happen to be Xander would he? All them reading comic books might actually come in use for once or did I miss something and Giles or someone else is the Time Travel Guru? Should be good for the bloke's confidence and ego, will be helpful instead of a hindrence for once...which is always good. Well lovin it Update Soon Harry you know I'm not gonna answer that question Harry! But nice try   redwulf50 Chapter 22 04/21/2006 04:28 am very good chappie can we dust Angel yet?? Not today, sorry   kim Chapter 22 04/21/2006 03:59 am She's reacting that badly just over little Buffy delivering a message to Angel? Hello, you're a Slayer. Chill. Nice having a vision fur ball around. Helps a lot. IN the next chapter you'll find out why she reacted the way she did   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 22 04/21/2006 02:37 am Finally, I was almost forgot about Buffy's plan to visit Angel for a second, I am surprised Buffy Jnr didn't run straight to Giles to tell him about the twistedness of Angel or maybe she will run to Willow, definitely not Xander he'd just make it worst, which might be better as then it would mean faster dumping. But must have been pretty scary for even Older Buffy. Loved how Buffy got jealous of even Dawn will be fun to see how she behaves when buffy jnr gets there poor Jnr she won't even be able to hide what she is thinking because Snr gets an instant playback of thought of memory...Actually come to think of it the beeting of the " Buffy's will be very confusing for Snr as she will be getting flashbacks of meeting herself same time she is meeting herself should be a laugh can't make a good impression on yourself when you know what the other person is thinking of you...lol yup definitely need to split the 2 Spikes up, but not until after having some fun with the two Buffy's, that would be a cruel thing to do Well loving it Update Soon Harry If you read the next 2 chapters alot of this will be addressed...bless you Harry you keep making my day!   MarzBar Chapter 22 04/21/2006 01:53 am WTF happened to Buffy? Was it a vision or her new powers being activated or something else? Good to see that Angelus is not any more perceptive in this universe. More story please. You questions will be answered in the next chapter   Cewcew Chapter 22 04/21/2006 01:26 am O boy! new Slayer powers! cant wait to hear what they are. Poor young Buffy, if old Buffy got that upset about a memory of what she saw, can only imagen how it makes young her feel. you might be surprised, old Buffy is more emotionally attached to Angel at this point.   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 22 04/21/2006 01:26 am GAHH!! Damn you!! I have to wait ANOTHER chapter to see what made her collapse and what the extra is??!! um...yes (I'm evil)   Richard Chapter 22 04/21/2006 01:22 am You know, in medieval theology, Hell was the only party that cared about free will. Heaven demanded absolute unquestioning obedience. You can see it at work in Babylon 5 where the Shadows always kept trying to strike deals and the Vorlons were bossing everyone around. Think also about Faust. Additionally, in physics there's a variant of M-theory called F-theory which has two temporal dimensions. I never understood the point. 1+1 time dimensions sure, but 2 is a lot more. Non-linear could refer to either. Hell, it could even refer to non-superpositional interaction between timelines. Finally, please keep piling on the deliciously ironic absurdities. Like Angel calling anyone else a slacker. Or inconsiderate! Or describing his perving over Buffy as "watching over" her. Thank you but oddly, my own education is not lacking, and while your little ideas are amusing they don't mesh with the story I am writing. I will try to continue with all the ironic absurdities that I am trying to subtly highlight   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 22 04/21/2006 12:57 am Well now. I wonder what all exactly she saw. You'll find out next chappie   Kat Chapter 22 04/21/2006 12:54 am oh goddess what happened. That was beautifuly written and quite emotional. And hmmmmm early spike and late spike seperating. you know what funny I never would have thought of that in a million years. lol. I love twists that I cannot forsee it makes the reading so much more intresting The answers will be in the next chapter   Verda Chapter 21 07/15/2006 04:34 am So Whistler may be on the side of Evil? Interesting. Always thought he was a bit off. Can't wait to have Buffy find Angel. Another wonderful chapter. Thank you..its always been a question of mine.   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 21 07/15/2006 01:30 am oh, all the information makes my head hurt I know...it eally sucks trying to keep it all straight   VWalk Chapter 21 05/31/2006 07:49 am I am absolutely loving this story. Your depiction of Angel is hilarious and realistic based on his actions on the show. I love the monk/ key twist. But I really can't wait for Angel to get his.   VWalk Chapter 21 05/31/2006 07:49 am I am absolutely loving this story. Your depiction of Angel is hilarious and realistic based on his actions on the show. I love the monk/ key twist. But I really can't wait for Angel to get his. sorry but you have to wait   Fred Chapter 21 05/11/2006 04:22 am excellent read. Thank you   Delicia Chapter 21 05/08/2006 04:49 pm Great chapter! See, I knew the claim was the right thing for them. Hmm, now what to do about the annoying Poof and his smelly Fence-sitter? We will get there...eventually   Cassie Chapter 21 05/08/2006 03:43 pm great read Thank you   Athenewolfe Chapter 21 04/21/2006 08:24 am *giggles at the story* I am enjoying reading this - it is so much fun and entertaining! I have to remember to put the manditory angst in...   sirc Chapter 21 04/20/2006 10:32 pm great chapter Thank you   Oracleholly Chapter 21 04/20/2006 12:12 pm *claps hands enthusiatically* I love Wolfie - er, your character, um not... oh hell. Jacks!! Why did you have to name the cool bigfoot after the house pup/perv. lol 'Cause now I can get away with calling him a 'strangly mutated gerbil'   fallen_angel Chapter 21 04/20/2006 08:33 am so who hired angel? hey i have an idea, lets forget about who Angel is working for and just dust him! That seems to be the popular choice...but you do realise I'm evil, right?   Richard Chapter 21 04/19/2006 12:08 pm FINALLY, someone points out that Whistler is NOT a good guy. And by implication that it takes more than "I'm from the Powers, do as I say!" to establish one's credentials. You would think!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 21 04/19/2006 10:48 am Yep, my opinion hasn't changed. Angel's a git. Spike's a nummy treat. And Buffy did, indeed, make the right choice with the claim. Amazing how much in sinc we are   Bridget Chapter 21 04/19/2006 09:10 am Good chapter. Thank you   Tamara Chapter 21 04/19/2006 08:57 am She certainly did make the right choice with the claim. I have to agree   Pin Chapter 21 04/19/2006 08:37 am This explains so much ... Great chapter; looking forward to another confrontation with Angel because you make them so much fun! We will see Angel in the next chapter   Karyn Chapter 21 04/19/2006 08:32 am wonderful update!!! i loved it! great explanation of the powers...giggles...and whistler as a fence sitter...giggles more! Well he never struck me as a convincing rep for the PTB if they were meant to be good guys!   Kat Chapter 21 04/19/2006 08:07 am hmmm ok now one has to wonder whether this paradox problem will every actually be solved lol They need the expert!   Shadow Chapter 21 04/19/2006 08:07 am sooo Whistler works sometimes for balance and sometimes for evil... I'm gonna go with EVIL when he sicced the neandrathal pedophile on Buffy... *dissolves the entire Council in a vat of acid* Keeping the slayer from the GOOD side of the supernatural world... BAD COUNCIL! At least they got the claim right *Snicker* I WANNA SEE SOME SPUFFY LOVINS! Great Chapter Jack... MORE! Hon, unless you want them to get down in front of Buffy's mum, sister, watcher, teacher, a monk and an overgrown beaver...you're gonna have to wait (Evil...yeah I know)   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 21 04/19/2006 07:38 am OK Ok i'm confused, so was Angel hired by the Balance or the Evil Powers? And if he was told by the Powers to help why didn't he? Probably knew Angel Himself likes to sit on the bench and would not be of much use if he was hired by the balance and the evil knew he thinks too much of himself that he'd be more of an hindrence than anything...who knows...no me that's for sure. Um...Angel wouldn't STILL be at the Library waiting for the Watcher would he? he looks like the kind of bloke that might still be there. I see how Glory could cause a bit of a Paradox of sorts, if Glory cannot get the Key, what will she do now, will she still go on a killing spree to get to her non existent key? Actually not much of a Paradox as Spike already knows the identity of glory's Alter Ego and can eliminate the problem if need be. Now the whole Paradox caused with 2 Buffy exisiting in one line can cause a few problems, like for example is it safe for future Buffy and Present Buffy occupy the same space or would the two of them meeting cause a implosion of past meeting future and end up destroying one or the other Buffy or even both? Or would it cause the two to merge as they are esentially the same person? Also as I have mentioned the Paradox of Spike himeself, with the claim being the beginning of them mating who does this Spike belong to as he has merged with his past self so both past and future Buffy can lay claim to the same person, and if future Buffy claimed Spike as her mate then wouldn't that mean that Buffy Jnr cannot make her move on Spike until the point where she is the same age as Buffy Snr? Because she cannot challenge the claim placed by herself in the future as technically the she hasn't made the claim to challenge it...lol...did that make any sense at all? Well still loving it Update soon Harry Both or either Harry, Whistler works for both of them on occasion. Angel tends to give up and put things in the too hard basket...maybe he'll be able to answer that question better. You have to remember the PTB for B&E were testing Angel, they didn't care what happened to Buffy. Nope not still at the library, there'll be more about that in the next chapter. The question of Paradoxs haven't been answered yet.   letitia Chapter 21 04/19/2006 07:32 am well now I get a glimpse at really why Whistler was there. And it is great to finally get some answers. Wonder what they are all going to do when Wolfie tells them the rest. I can't wait to find out what he has to say as well. Neither can I...Wolfie can be cryptic when he wan't to be   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 21 04/19/2006 06:39 am Hee hee hee. You gotta love validation of your claim by the POwers of Good. Yup...kinda takes the edge off   Irina Chapter 21 04/19/2006 05:21 am Wolfie is shaping up to be quite an interesting and helpful character. I enjoyed reading what he had to say. Great chapter! Thank you, I agree Wolfie is an interesting and helpful character   Robyn Chapter 21 04/19/2006 04:55 am I like the clarification that the council actually hinders the Slayer because of their no tolerance policy. This really gives Buffy something to think about, on top of everything else that she is learning. I am looking forward to why the claim is the right choice. So am I...at the moment though...I got nothing   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 21 04/19/2006 03:48 am Smut Smut Smut? give 'em time! lol   MarzBar Chapter 21 04/19/2006 03:35 am Wolfie is a great messenger with the potential to be a great ally if the Scoobies and Giles don't interfere. More story please. This Giles is not likely to interfer...not sure about the scoobies yet   kim Chapter 21 04/19/2006 03:15 am *Pets the nice Wolfie* They have their own Chewie! Hee hee, sorry. *snigger* Nice take on Whistler's job...interesting angle. Knowing Buffy, she's putting a guilt complex on herself, again, for her lack of judgement about Angel. Go Dawn, for reminding Spike about his own logic. Joyce has been pretty quiet so far. Hee hee, and now the claim comes into discussion. Seems to be more helpful than they already thought. The guilt may take some time to sink in...there's a lot going on for her right now   Verda Chapter 20 07/15/2006 04:14 am Hopefully Buffy will see that Angel has a darkness around him as well. BIGFOOT...? Great work Jacks! The bunny made me do it   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 20 07/15/2006 01:20 am Bigfoot works for the powers?? I blame wolfie   Fred Chapter 20 05/11/2006 04:15 am A Bigfoot? Okay, wasn't expecting that. Blame the bunny!   Delicia Chapter 20 05/08/2006 04:40 pm Ooh the glowiness is pretty. Effulgent! Wonder what's up with Xander's though? I think I know but I'll keep it to myself in case I'm wrong! I bet you're right   Athenewolfe Chapter 20 04/21/2006 08:21 am lmao - see I always knew bigfoot existsed! yes, anda apparentely can use a computer!   sirc Chapter 20 04/18/2006 10:40 am great chapter Thank you   Oracleholly Chapter 20 04/18/2006 09:29 am ROFLMAO! WOLFIE IS A BIGFOOT!!! LOL *breathe* Okay, I'm okay. Just tickled in the best of ways. I'm glad that YBuffy is seeing the darkness in Xander. Yes its true Wolfie is a Bigfoot...and he tells me size is relative!   Cassie Chapter 20 04/18/2006 01:06 am Great chapter Thank you   MarzBar Chapter 20 04/17/2006 07:50 pm Wolfie, huh? Seven feet tall and long red hair? Wearing a hair shirt? What will happen next in this AU? More story please. I have no idea, but I'm enjoying the ride!   vladt Chapter 20 04/17/2006 07:20 pm great update. wulfie guest starring as bigfoot, hilarious. thanks for the fun read. He may never forgive me! LOL   Robyn Chapter 20 04/17/2006 06:23 pm Thanks for the great update, I loved how Giles described Spike's glow. I am looking forward to the reason for Xander's darkness around his glow, and it will be real interesting if young Buffy sees Angel while still under the spell. We'll see   Cewcew Chapter 20 04/17/2006 06:19 pm Lol, Bigfoot to The Powers. O I so hope LittleBuffy goes to see Angel, I can sure bet theres not much if any glow going on there. Should cover that in the next chapter...or the one after that   kim Chapter 20 04/17/2006 04:03 pm So cool!!! Thank you   Tamara Chapter 20 04/17/2006 01:19 pm Still loving this every chapter . I hope young Buffy is gonna run into Angel while that spell is active. And Bigfoot is very well spoken , isn't he? while he's in human guise he is! lol   Kat Chapter 20 04/17/2006 12:10 pm lol that was great. Poor older buffy she is getting mad at herself how weird would that be for her lol. Amazing chapter. bigfoot LOL Thank you...It takes some work to get through my complicated mind!   Irina Chapter 20 04/17/2006 11:49 am I love how Giles used the word effulgent when he descibed Spike's glow. Great phone conversation between young Buffy and Giles. Older Buffy being jealous of younger Buffy is priceless. Loved Wolfie's addition to story. Wonderful update! Thank you...I lost a bet!   Richard Chapter 20 04/17/2006 11:19 am A wookie uh sasquatch? Come on. How would you describe wulfie? LOL   maryperk Chapter 20 04/17/2006 10:30 am Great chapter. Glad my chair doesnt throw me on the floor. I rofl everytime I read this. Can I change chairs with you!   Shadow Chapter 20 04/17/2006 08:23 am Xander not so glowy huh... darn.. *snaps fingers* and hear I hoped he had SOME redeeming qualities. *Snicker* I am not surprised that Spike glows as brightly as Buffy. He is, after all, quite the little emotional lightbulb (even without the spell) BIGFOOT! In Giles' apartment? maaaan dont call the mythbusters! GREAT Chapter! MORE! It was the bunnies fault! lol   slinkypsychokit Chapter 20 04/17/2006 08:19 am Kinda gives new meaning to "the whole world is glowing". I'm not as surprised as I thought I would be at Xander's dimness. I think he's always had a certain darkness to him. I think I'm nearly giddy with the thoughts of seeing Angel's level of luminosity. More, soon, yes? I promise you won't have long to wait to 'see' some results of the spell!   Karyn Chapter 20 04/17/2006 08:11 am *giggles* great update! a bigfoot! cool..lol, and ohhh a black cloud on Xanders aura, wonder what Angels will look like...cloudy with a chance of rain?...rofl I promise as soon as I work it out I'll let you know Karyn!   Pin Chapter 20 04/17/2006 07:25 am Love the sunshine that is Spike. Think that darkness around Xander is really indicative of his real personality. Looking forward to seeing the black hole that is Angel! Wolfie - LOL. Thanks for another great chapter. You're welcome, Xander will be discussed!   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 20 04/17/2006 06:22 am ::laugh: I love updates to this story. Particularly when I catch them first thing in the morning. They make a good start to the day. (: Thank you...that's always nice to hear   redwulf50 Chapter 20 04/17/2006 05:40 am Big foot??? No but I do have rather large ones So tell me...is size relative??   fallen_angel Chapter 20 04/17/2006 05:29 am i DIDN'T get distracted, not because the chapter wasn't interesting but because i have a note glued to my pc that says don't get distracted. so what were u suppose to distract me from?.. anyways hope we get to see Wolfie's wife cos she sounds interesting. loved Buffy Jr. freaking out and Buffy Sr. being possessive. I'm sooo gad to see that I didn't distract you!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 20 04/17/2006 05:20 am A Elven married to a Bigfoot? I shudder to think what their kids would look like...lol Wait, I just realised how the spell works, I originally thought everyone would be able to see Spike glowing but it's the people who are part were present to see the spell happening that can see the glow of everyone else.....soooo if Buffy is planning to go see Angel she will see the inky black twisted soul that he really is, and no doubt freak, run off and go straight to Giles not giving the human lightbulbs to hide well as they'll be glowing...that's my take on what's going to happen ofcourse probably not what will actually happen but always fun to speculate ;) Can I just say if I haven't made it clear already I just love the whole being jealous of yourself stuff, it's bloody hilarious. Well can't wait to see what happens next, seems like some action packed updates, with Angel and his possible murky glow, and Whistler coming back to fix things and the bigfoot and his info from the powers and um...his wife and her dragonfly obsession and the whole future meets present with the Future/Present Spike combined in one stuck in the middle...fun fun fun. Update soon. Harry Harry you said: ofcourse probably not what will actually happen but always fun to speculate ;) Keep speculating   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 20 04/17/2006 03:59 am Bigfoot! LMAO! What can I say...I was inspired! lol   Verda Chapter 19 07/15/2006 04:05 am Angel's listening to Angelus, that is definately not good. Oh no! she spotted Spike epp! love this! Spike is in for it now   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 19 07/15/2006 12:55 am oh no... oh yes...did I mention that I'm evil?   Fred Chapter 19 05/11/2006 04:09 am Yum indeed Agreed   Delicia Chapter 19 05/08/2006 04:34 pm I agree with the gang about creepiness of Angel.He really shouldn't be listening to his inner self! I hope the spell Jenny did provides some much need answers. It will provide something   Athenewolfe Chapter 19 04/21/2006 08:20 am intriguing! Me want more! *grin* okay, but just cause you asked so nicely   Cassie Chapter 19 04/18/2006 01:05 am Yum...I agree LOL...so glad!   Karyn Chapter 19 04/16/2006 10:07 am awesome chapter!! god, he's STILL brooding...lol...and yum, indeed! He is also slowing slipping into insanity, lol...oh and have to agree with the yum factor!   sirc Chapter 19 04/16/2006 05:02 am great chapter Thank you   fallen_angel Chapter 19 04/16/2006 05:00 am oh ya i forgot about the ritual. well actually u distracted me but now that i remember again i gonna ask what it is and when it's taking place. dust Angel. I just have to try and distract you again now! lol   Oracleholly Chapter 19 04/15/2006 07:40 pm I've caught up! Yay! Excellent past 2 chaps. Angel singing is a def ewwww, but I'm happy Y-Buffy has started questioning her attraction to him. F-Buffy tho - I hate that she's torn now between all this. So, now YBuffy's in F-Buffy's head there at the end? That is a question that will definately be addressed in the next chapter...i think   vladt Chapter 19 04/15/2006 03:36 pm excellent update, and the "...yum" ending, delightful. thanks for the fun read. Thank you, some answers in the next chapter for you...I hope!   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 19 04/15/2006 02:27 pm hmmm.. was the spell supposed to do that? Or is she dreaming? Okay...now seriously...that would be telling!   UncagedMuse Chapter 19 04/15/2006 01:42 pm The spell is working! I love it can't wait for more! I promise...there will be some answers in the next chapter   maryperk Chapter 19 04/15/2006 11:18 am Great chapter. Thanks sweetie, as always, you helped!   Kat Chapter 19 04/15/2006 11:09 am oh dear what in the world is going on now. yikes nice twists and turns now. I have to do that you know...Paradox! lol   MarzBar Chapter 19 04/15/2006 10:26 am Hmmm. No answers here. More please. Thay are coming...I promise   Shadow Chapter 19 04/15/2006 09:13 am oooo Spike is all lit up like a light bulb! and I echo the scoobies and their EWWW and ICK factors... angel is just... EWWWICK! Great chapter Jack.... MORE! Thanks sweetie...I want more from you too!   Mali Chapter 19 04/15/2006 08:09 am Bah, I'm guessing the yum treat is Spike? Ooh, future Buffy's gonna be jealous.   letitia Chapter 19 04/15/2006 06:50 am they are all in trouble now. the spell is in effect and I can't wait for ppl to see the "humanity" of the others in the group. This story is just so much fun. I am so loving it. Thank you soo much   Robyn Chapter 19 04/15/2006 06:40 am Loved how Buffy questioned herself on loving Angel, and her dream at the end very interesting. Am really looking forward to the effects of the spell, and finding out more about the ritual that Spike is interested in. Thanks for the update. Thanks Robyn, she's still a teenager, they change boyfriends like they change outfits! It seemed appropriate   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 19 04/15/2006 06:16 am OK so Buffy Jnr having a out of body experience? or is it because the ray was originally meant to send Buffy Snr into the body of Buffy Jnr, and that even though it didn't manage to complete the job it did create some sort of link between both the Buffy's? Well this is interesting. OK so Angel is working towards redemption by listening to his Demon? OK the blokes even thicker than I originally thought. And he's still at the School? it's midnight already....moron. 24 HOURS!!!! that's seriously taking the rip, well atleast Giles won't have to put on any lights for the next 24 hours saves on electricity...lol You are doing this on purpose aren't you? deliberately making us wait for ages and making this day go on for ages so that we never get our Angel dumping i'm on to your game, i'm still anticipating a dumping every update no matter what. Well still loving it Update soon Harry I'm sorry Harry, blame the bunny! And the dream....claim!   Richard Chapter 19 04/15/2006 06:16 am Groan. No spell is going to work right on Buffy, is it? Nice touch. And Jenny wanting to curse Angel even into the afterlife? Classic! What makes you think it didn't work right?   kim Chapter 19 04/15/2006 05:54 am Ohhhh....the spell just took effect. Hee hee hee. Buffy's first sight is Spike, obviously. Yep, Dru definitely needs to be taken care of, in some fashion. Yes, Jenny - think of a way to keep Angel's soul in his body, 'cause that curse having a loophole was a really stupid idea. If you want vengeance, why put in a clause that lets the perp off the hook? Thats the way curses work...there must always be a way to break them or they lose their potency...the gypsy's need for vengence required the potency of the spell to be at it's strongest.   Irina Chapter 19 04/15/2006 05:34 am Fantastic update! I loved the exciting development at the end of the chapter. Thank you...I like Buffy's little dream myself! YUM   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 19 04/15/2006 04:09 am Ooooooo!! Unexpectedness! Heehee...I do like to do that!   redwulf50 Chapter 19 04/15/2006 04:08 am Bloody excellent chappie luv, beautiful Thanks Wulfie...You always know the right thing to say to make me feel better...or you let me threaten you which is just as good   SpaceLord Chapter 19 04/15/2006 03:29 am Well Angel sure is funny in this story. Not a very nice way of writing him but definetly very funny. I calls 'em as I sees 'em!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 19 04/15/2006 03:12 am Well, well, well, what have we here? Fully barring the squickiness that is Angel singing- cuz, in this, repression is a good thing- and moving right along to Younger Buffy somehow seeing through Elder Buffy's eyes. Very nice, indeed. And what is this mysterious ritual Spike and Giles keep hinting at? So not fair to make with the evil cliffies... um...why?   Cewcew Chapter 19 04/15/2006 02:30 am Ok, now you realy got my curiousity up, 2 Buffy sharing 1 set of eyes, hmmmm hmmmm hmmm. more soon please. It's amazing what can happen while you're dreaming...isn't it   Verda Chapter 18 07/15/2006 03:57 am Yes! disinvite Angel, I'm not English my birth, only ancestry, so I'm calling him a bloody wanker, that felt good! Great chappie. That's fine, I call him that all the time   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 18 07/15/2006 12:50 am I wonder what they'll see! More than they wanted to   Fred Chapter 18 05/11/2006 04:04 am Really good idea to do the clear sight spell Thank you   Delicia Chapter 18 05/08/2006 04:16 pm Yes Buffy you've wasted a lot of time! Great chapter, glad she's realizing what could have been hers sooner. The spell's effects should be interesting. Buffy can be a little slow on the uptake   Joyce Chapter 18 04/27/2006 06:27 pm This is absolutely beautifully written:“Without his soul, Angel has no humanity in him. His demon has destroyed it all. The soul brings with it a semblance of humanity, sort of like a residual echo, but that’s lost when the soul is.” Angel was always a facade of a person ..just to gloss over the evil. Spike's humanity shines past the demon. I've always thought so !   maryperk Chapter 18 04/15/2006 11:19 am Great chapter. Thanks sweetie, couldn't do it without you   Cassie Chapter 18 04/14/2006 02:50 am great read Thank you   vladt Chapter 18 04/14/2006 01:00 am great read. but is spike right, again? will ther be consequences? love the tale. thank you You're welcome and there will be consequeces...just not what you might think   MarzBar Chapter 18 04/13/2006 10:55 pm I am looking forward to the results of this spell and what can actually be seen. Me too   Athenewolfe Chapter 18 04/13/2006 07:45 pm ohhhh really intriguing spell! i can not wait to see what it will bring. Does happy dance of paradox ficcie! LOL...a sight I never tire of seeing!   Cewcew Chapter 18 04/13/2006 06:21 pm I wana see! I wana see! Hmmm, If you do a spell on old Buffy, when shes in the same 'time frame' as young Buffy, will the spell afect her too? hmmmmm Guess you'll just have to wait and see!   Kat Chapter 18 04/13/2006 01:42 pm oh wow. now this could get very very intresting. yay Thank you...that's what I trying for!   gaillee Chapter 18 04/13/2006 10:08 am Great chapter! Way to leave me hanging! Thanks ever so much... You are very welcome...I'm evil like that   PyroChilde Chapter 18 04/13/2006 09:39 am Well this should be interesting. Lets see how accurate the whole, "You are full of love. You love with all of your soul. It's brighter than the fire ... blinding. That's why you pull away from it." is. Should be interesting to see Spike's humanity as well. There will be some surprises!   Shadow Chapter 18 04/13/2006 08:28 am I see Buffy is having her blinders removed where angel is concerned... GOOD! Adn I honestly think it was Giles' grief over loosing Jenny that made him all with the "soulless demons cant love" thing. Great Update Jack. Keep em coming! Thanks sweetie. Gotta say I tend to agree with you!   Pin Chapter 18 04/13/2006 08:24 am Extremely neat idea! I love how you reshape the reality as event change and how Giles' feels bout many things. Looking forward to seeing what the spell reveals. Thanks! Thank you...I'm trying to keep it all straight in my head...but it's not easy!   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 18 04/13/2006 06:43 am Sweet! I can't wait to see the results on that one. Do you have sun glasses?   kim Chapter 18 04/13/2006 06:27 am I think it's obvious why Giles allowed Buffy to be persuaded by Angel that soulless vampires can't love. Spike already pointed out that Giles had held Buffy responsible for Jenny's death. It was a way to make sure she didn't endanger them all again, since he felt she wasn't capable of making the right decision on her own. The whole group never completely trusted her decising making capabilities after the Angelus incident, even though there was no way she could have known the soul wasn't anchored. It was also obvious that Giles didn't really hold that belief in himself. He trusted the demon that faked removing Angel's soul in S3 - Giles had introduced the demon to his wife. Giles also made the suggestion to Spike of using the chip as the impetus for redeeming himself. He never would have brought it up if he didn't already think that Spike had the capability for both change, and compassion towards his former food source. Spike had kept Giles safe from Dru and Angelus when they were trying to get info on Acathla. It was Buffy who wasn't trusted. And obviously, with a fair amount of reason, since she never bothered to figure out for herself the true ways of life. Yes, the girl could face demons to the death every night, but she had no backbone. No will power in the face of peer pressure. And yet after what she had faced, was it really unreasonable that she shared Giles' lack of faith in her abilty to make decisions. Self doubt is a terrible burden to bear. :9   fallen_angel Chapter 18 04/13/2006 06:17 am there u go leaving us all hanging like that!*sulks* Update soon pleaseeeeeeeeee! wanna know Giles' ability too. and Buffy's. oh and loved Joyce threatening to ground Spike. honestly the repercussions of the spell would have made the chapter much longer than it was...and...um...I'm evil!   redwulf50 Chapter 18 04/13/2006 05:31 am Bloody excellent chapter. all plotty Rofl...how the hell did that happen?   Irina Chapter 18 04/13/2006 05:15 am LOL... I loved Spike's description of Angel's singing. With the Clear Sight spell in effect it should be an interesting twenty-four hours. I can't wait to find out how dim Angel's humanity light is. Great chapter! Thank you...I think there are gonna be some surprises all around!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 18 04/13/2006 04:34 am Weeeelllll, now. Looks like things are about to get *very* interesting. A spell to show humanity. Hmmm...methinks our self-proclaimed 'Champion of the PTBs' is going to be a bit, what's that word...lacking? And all while our resident 'evil, souless thing with only a chip in his head to prevent the total slaughter of all things Slayer and Scoobies' has humanity coming out of the ears. **evil grins all around** I do so adore your ficcies, Jack! Thank you sooo much, I love it when a plan comes together!   Richard Chapter 18 04/13/2006 04:22 am Huh, well that spell would be useful in slaying. It reminds me of The Merchant of Sunnydale by Sersi & Cylla. You're doing a terrific job getting into Buffy's head. I haven't read it, so I couldn't possible comment. Thank you.   Robyn Chapter 18 04/13/2006 04:10 am Jenny just came up with two very great spells, I love the idea of a disinvite spell mixed with a protection spell. And Buffy to actually suggest the disinvite for Angel, she really is changing. It is interesting seeing how different Giles is before he went through the time with Angelus. Although he was a bit fatalistic in some things, in others he was much more open. The time with Angelus and the lies Angel told about vampires really did a number on all those involved, and you are capturing the differences beautifully. I am looking forward to the results of the spell of Clear Sight, it should prove interesting. And I love that Joyce called Spike on how he played her. Thanks for the great update. Joyce was a lot smarter than she was given credit for...and just like my own mum...she lulls them into a false sense of security, then pounces!   kim Chapter 18 04/13/2006 04:01 am Oooo, I love this! Excellent ideas. I love that Buffy's assumptions are being torn apart. And that's what they were. She never bothered to think for herself. She just took what others told her as gospel. Perfect candidate for brain washing. (Pathetic, really) Thank goodness everyone else hasn't been blinded in regards to Angel, or nothing would ever get set right. THe arrival of Angelus caused alot of damage   sirc Chapter 18 04/13/2006 03:49 am great chapter As always, thank you   akarinacj Chapter 18 04/13/2006 03:45 am That was evil!!!! I want to know what happened with the spell!!!! Great story so far. Please update soon!!!! Didn't you get the memo...I am evil   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 18 04/13/2006 02:20 am Ooooooo can't wait to see what happens!! Personally I think the reactions are going to be funny and the results surprising!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 18 04/13/2006 02:13 am Well that was a simple spell, not even Willow should botch one like that, well ofcourse she'd probably mange for the spell to last 24 hours instead of 24 seconds....he'd be like a flashlight for the world to see...quite a useful spell during a blackout...lol Ofcourse Angelus doesn't have any humanity left in him, he never had much of it in the first place, where William was a scholar, a poet ablete a bad one but still it says allot about his charactor and level of humanity, Liam was a liar a cheat, a theif and scoundrel, not much humanity in him to begin with. So really Angel has to make up for all the evil he did with and without a soul, maybe he was cursed with a priests soul...lol. We gonna see a dumping of the Forehead soon right? Really public and humiliating dumping with a few blows to the head for good measure right, cos that would be cool...lol About bloody time, the past and the future collides and fights over the past and future Spike conbined in one. Cannot wait for that. Well loved the update Update Soon Harry The spell is meant to last for 24 hrs...I think Willow would have tried to tweek it a little...thats where the problems arise. There is lots coming up, it hasn't even started to get confusing yet   Verda Chapter 17. 07/15/2006 03:41 am That was so funny! First Buffy making Spike think that Joyce was going to ground him, but loved the mangled Manillow. Glad that you had Buffy hear it. And what's Whistler gonna do? Funny chapter. You think Joyce wouldn't?   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 17. 07/15/2006 12:42 am *gags* yes, Angel does have that effect   Fred Chapter 17. 05/11/2006 03:57 am that was the funniest lyric change I've ever seen! Good one. Thank you...I hope Barry feels the same way!   Delicia Chapter 17. 05/08/2006 04:09 pm Great chapter! Spike certainly knows how to diffuse Joyce's anger. Angel's lyrics are disturbing to say the least! Poor Barry would not be happy   Isabel Chapter 17. 04/30/2006 06:30 pm You really crack me up lol. Those lyrics were so funny. Go you Thank you, Barry Manilow would not be so happy with me   maryperk Chapter 17. 04/15/2006 11:23 am Love Spike being worried about Joyce grounding him. lol...the bunny made me do it   Cassie Chapter 17. 04/14/2006 02:49 am that's just not right, poor Barry LOL...I did apologise   vladt Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 10:34 pm great read and very funny chapter ending. am using the fun word often tonight. won't think about it. why mess with a good evening. thanks for the fine read You are most welcome   neo_trinityknot Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 08:35 pm Ew is right! absolutely   Cewcew Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 05:52 pm I'll 2ed that Ewww! And raise you a major yuck@! it's not a nice image is it? LOL   Ashley Granchester Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 02:33 pm I just started to read this story today and all I can say is that I love it, really love it. You are such a great writer and I share your concept of Angel just being an old man with the likes of young girls, pedophile much? He's just gross and I love your approach. And OMG his Mandy version . . . EWW. Please keep it up and thank you for gifting us with such great stories. Ash. What a lovely review...thank you sooo much   sirc Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 02:12 pm great chapter Thank you   Max Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 11:31 am The idea of Joyce grounding a 100+ year old vampire just plain funny bet he didn't think so! LOL   fallen_angel Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 11:19 am reading Angel singing is better than hearing him singing cos we know he is a horrible singer*remembers 'Mandy' and shudders* Poor willow and xander. and Buffy...don't forget she was there and even the Buffy that wasn't there had to suffer through it! LOL   MarzBar Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 10:26 am Ewwww is right. I'm looking forward to the fully Scooby meeting. I will come! soon...?   Shadow Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 09:16 am I match the EWWWWWWWW from the scoobies and raise you a BLECH. Angel singage is sooo not of the good... and singing about "having" an underage girl... *sharpens the knife* PLEASE lemme castrate him? *begs* Great chapter love. I'll match your BLECH and raise you a LURGE....and NO! I still need him.   Karyn Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 09:04 am rofl!! i just love it!!! *shudders @ angel singing* i'd have to say eewwww!, too! But I wrote it just for you Karyn! (Jack pouts...then grins)   Irina Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 08:43 am Awww... How sweet, I liked how all Spike had to do was give Joyce the puppy dog eyes and she melted. I loved Buffy's reaction to Angel's singing. I think Jenny makes a great addition to the team, i'm glad they let her in on the situation. I'm really looking forward to the teen Scoobies reactions to future Buffy and Spike. Wonderful chapter! Thank you...It's gonna be a ride!   Lou Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 08:01 am Only just caught up with this one - but what a blast! Angel is seriously funny. Damn...I was going for seriously creepy!   Athenewolfe Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 07:59 am LMAO - good update sweetie, sorry I haven't been able to chat lately - evils of timezones. I love this update - really quite fab and the lyrics - LMAO I miss you!...and thanks for the review lol   letitia Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 07:51 am oh, Joyce is a particular scary mother. Love Jenny. Hope they can all help and I don't think Angel's stalking will be a secret much longer. Buffy and company is on to him. Joyce reminds me of my own mum! lol...God how I love her   redwulf50 Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 05:08 am Roflmao, Angel is such an ass. What?? I'm just sayi. And I couldn't write him were it not for you!   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 04:48 am My thoughts exactly! Ewww!!! Rofl...didn't you like the new lyrics?   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 02:14 am “Xander reads comic books and is into science fiction movies…he’s probably more knowledgeable about time travel and temporal paradoxes than the rest of us combined.” Jenny told them seriously. that is so true, you don't need a scientists for this you need a sci-fi geek, afterall that's what the trio were, and let's face it if Xander didn't become friends with Willow he'd probably be best friends with the geeks, then agin if Willow didn't meet with Buffy she'd probably be best friends with Warren. OK Angel going on towards beyond creepy territory now, it's bad enough he's spent the past who knows how many hours drawing buffy sleeping, something that is starkerish in the frist place now he's buchering perfectly....no idea what song so it might be a crappy song to begin with probably Barry Manilow any buchering a song, with seriously disturbing words. the words do not do it justice, unless it's coming from all three present and one future as well..lol heheee Buffy you in trouble, just wait till Joyce finds out she's kinda engaged to the Vamp and has not told her yet....she'll be grounded for life...though she might wait till Buffy gets back to her own time and then ground her, or maybe the younger version for crimes she has yet to commit...or the young one for dating Angel that's a groudable offence right? Poor fashion victim Whistler has to go back to SunnyD for damage control, should be interesting to read. There's a pairing, fashion victim with fashion princess, Cordy/Whistler wonder if there are any fics with that pairing? two part demons and vessels for TPTB yet completely different, makes sense to me. So we finally getting the Buffy Jnr Buffy Snr get together? wicked can't wait. Well love the update like always Update soon Harry. The song was 'Mandy' by Barry Manilow...its the one he butchered with the correct lyrics when he had to sing for Lorne Cand I just say ewwww to the Cordy/Whister pairing!   Richard Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 02:04 am I forgot to mention; Whistler and Xander? Sweeeeeet. :> I will try to surprise you in the future!   Richard Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 02:01 am The Jules Verne reference is great. It's those little details .... Angel's egotistical rendition of Barry Manilow really caps it off. You made a very good point before about Angel drawing people when they're dead to the world. Doubly so since his drawing people when they're awake is inconsistent with his moping stalker power trips. Which means that first his drawings are creepy and second that they can't be other than creepy. lol...it's hard to be subtle with Angel! But I try....   Robyn Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 01:57 am I love that Buffy walked in on Angel singing, and I can't stop laughing at the changes he made to his favorite song or the reaction to those who heard it. I must admit that Jenny sees things far more clearly then the others about the value and reasons to include Xander, Willow, and young Buffy. And I love how Spike played Joyce, and Joyce's reaction to Buffy's impulsiveness was great. Dawn and Spike are going to be a whole lot of fun together, Dawn's excitement to Spike being her 'brother' was great, as was Spike's horror when Buffy mentioned grounding. Thanks for the update, they are always so great. Thank you so much, it gives me great joy to know that someone is enjoying my warped sense of humour.   kim Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 01:54 am "Ewww." Too right! Oh, that's hilarious. And yup, Spike can so win Joyce over in a heartbeat. She's had a soft spot with his name stamped on it from the get-go. Bring the others in? Hmmm, well they're going to stumble on it eventually, but..... And there's Whistler! Knew he'd be along. not all is as it seems!   TammyDevil666 Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 01:12 am Okay, odd place to leave us hanging. I'm guessing that was future Buffy after her younger self had to witness Angel's horrible singing. He seriously had me cracking up in this chapter. I never thought I would appreciate the original version so much. His lyrics were just really pathetic. And I don't even think he was drunk at that time, so that's even more pathetic. Poor delusional vampire, he still needs to be smacked. Good chapter=) thank you...I had to leave it there, otherwise the chapter would have been twice as long...can't have that now can we?   DizzyB Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 01:07 am Your story makes me smile every time I read a new chapter. Hilarity abounds, particularly in the subtle nuances. Thank You for one of the best tales out there right now. Thank you for making my day!   Gaillee Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 12:34 am Thanks so much for a super update. I'm still grinning... you know...this challenge asked for angst...I have to do something about that!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 12:29 am I'll see that "Ewwww" and raise you an "egads!! Make him stop the insane singing!" Such a great chapter, Jack. (as you can see this review is mercifully lacking in the Angel-staking requests)... //Turning wounded eyes to Joyce, Spike asked her sadly, “Don’t you want me as part of the family, Mum?” Joyce instantly drew the poor vampire into her embrace. // I'd have to say this has to be my favorite part of the whole chapter. I like the idea of grounding him! lol   Kat Chapter 17. 04/11/2006 12:24 am lol I cant wait till they are all brought together. yay hehehehe i am excited lol...not long now   Verda Chapter 16. 07/15/2006 03:28 am You little minx, we already hate him, but plastic surgery? That's funny. Wonder what the monks are going to come up with? Boy did they pick the wrong one! No eeewwws about Giles, he's quite handsome in his own way, even if he's way old. Grand slam Jacks. He's not to old for some of us   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 16. 07/15/2006 12:39 am yes, mention it so she can go ballistic on your flabby ass.... hypocrit much she wouldn't be happy, would she?   Fred Chapter 16. 05/11/2006 03:51 am ROFL, plastic surgery? He is an idiot!   Delicia Chapter 16. 05/08/2006 03:59 pm Wow, Angel was to chicken to face the Master! I knew it! Angel thinking she needs plastic surgery was so funny. What a dork! He should think about getting a forehead reductiion first! Rofl...can I use that?   Isabel Chapter 16. 04/30/2006 06:23 pm ROTFL Oh my God. Seriously, what a moron! Plastic surgery? Idiot And it is so true that he could have killed the Master himself. Thanks for pointing that out. I just want younger Buffy to find out this out and really see what a poofter Angel really is. I think she's coming slowly to that conclusion   Joyce Chapter 16. 04/27/2006 06:15 pm Loving the teen gang's dialogue. Ooh, snarky nose comment! Angél is not a bright man/vampire   Cassie Chapter 16. 04/14/2006 02:49 am Angel is a bit nuts You're just noticing this now???   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 16. 04/11/2006 04:37 am OMFG! Yeah, tell her she needs plastic surgery so she can beat you to a pulp and stake you.... He's an unusual individual!   fallen_angel Chapter 16. 04/10/2006 04:57 am Angel you big useless jerk! stop drawing and try to do something other than brood and making mystic excuses to escape anything remotely worthwhile.Is he gonna be dust soon? would love to see Joyce dust him. I get that from alot of people!   Robyn Chapter 16. 04/10/2006 01:34 am Spike has it right, Angel is a wanker, I am looking forward to what Brother Luther’s phone conversation brings up. I like Buffy's traitorous voices, they often tell her truths she is unwilling to face. I love that Spike listened to himself and didn't speak up, he is so correct, if you tell Buffy she goes all stubborn, she has to see or learn it for herself. A big eww to Angel’s thoughts while still waiting in the library. This is getting even more fascinating and I am still looking forward to Buffy’s and Spike’s first meeting. Thanks for the great update. Thank you..It will happen soon...er or later?   slinkypsychokit Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 12:41 pm Yeah! Looks like Buffy the Younger is beginning to put things together. I'd think it a bit difficult for to sneak up on her older self when the Elder has her memories. (did that sentence make sense?) Speaking of Elder Buffy, she seems a mite miffed at her former just now. I'd tend to agree with her, seeing as how Angel was sent to prevent the Master from killing her and he, well, didn't. Then there's the vampire in question. He seems to have made himself quite at home in Giles' office as he continues his study of Drawing for Stalkers 101. **rolls eyes** Stupid vampire. Wanna see both Buffys kick his ass. Rofl...I've said it before and I'll say it again...If I stake him I can't bash him! lol   Bridget Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 12:32 pm Good chapter. Angel is really, really unlikeable. He has an idealized vision of Buffy. No wonder he was never useful. In my world this is the true angel! LOL   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 07:48 am ARRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just lost my lousy reviews...stupid bleedin internet. Me and my computers not getting on this weekend, i'm having to use my old laptop as my regular PC won't let Windows install on the new Hard drive. right, Angels, good idea you have there mate, really should go for it, I see the merit in your thinking, definitely someone will require the plastic surgery after that suggestion is made...though I doubt it will be the girl in question...lol Ahhh gotta love the paradox, ofcourse I completely disagree with the theory, I don't think changing the fact that Dawn is not the key would change the fact that dweebs would hit Spike and Buffy with the time ray, ofcourse it's possible that Warren will actually leave town after the robot incident as Spike would not need a robot and he would be able to escape like he originally planned...so Warren might not be the villian in season 6 because of that and the other two dweebs would be the other 2 dweebs...lol So the two owuldn't be hit with the ray and would not go back in time and the past would not change and everything would be the same so in essence everything would be the same so the dweebs would actually hit the two with the ray gun and everything would in the end change but then again the cycle begins...lol ofcourse thankfully the monk explaineed how the time can be altered and no adverse effect would take place so it is alright, otherwise i'd probably still be here tommorow going round in a loop about this. So we looking at the possability of Buffy Jnr catching Buffy Snr and Spike? should be interesting, ofcourse if Buffy Snr is getting the new memory flashes surely she'll know before hand that she is going to catch herself so she would have enough time to hide and stop something from happening before it happened or ever was going to happen...or something like that..I think. Ofcourse if they catch them, that would mean the inevitable jealous Buffy's X2 being jealous of the other, one for the memories of feelings she'll be getting from the jounger self and the other for being with the man of her dreams, should be interesting twist, how do you console someone who knows that they are going to end up with the person they want to be with but ca't be with because she is already with him and that person will not look at you the same way he looks at you only older version of you? And ofcourse you can't insult the other person because you would be in essence be insulting yourself...damn this is confusing, fun but confusing lol Still loving it Update soon Harry Harry, sweetie, the part about Dawn being the Key has nothing to do with the paradox...they just got all side tracked! lol...I will get back to it though! I try to do more fun and less confusion for you!   Mali Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 07:42 am That.. that last line. I'm dying of laughter. This Angel is most definitely a shallow Angel XD Yup   sirc Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 06:11 am Go right ahead, Angel Great chapter Rofl...I think you want Angel to get into trouble!!!! LOL   kim Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 04:45 am Ooooh, you're mean, having Angel mention the nose...LOL. Of course Angel screwed up, Buffy! He lost sight of the objective. Talk to Whistler about what he was supposed to do. Trust me when I say you really don't want to involve Whistler in this too!   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 01:26 am Oh, won't that be fun, whe Buffy shows up at Giles'? And I'm really enjoying watching Buffy's image of Angel tarnishing with each revelation. Of course, I'm mean like that. I'll tell you a secret....so am I! LOL   Cewcew Chapter 16. 04/09/2006 01:14 am I cant.. No way.. Angel just.. He... Plastic surgery!? AAAAAAAAAAARRR! Just.... DUST! More please. ROFL...but mooooooommmm? He's fun to bash!   vladt Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 11:15 pm spike keeping silent! this has to fan fic. oh, that right, it is. extremely well written fic. thanks for the fun read. Thank you Vladt, that just makes my day!   UncagedMuse Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 10:29 pm LOL young Buffy thinks Giles and her mom are having it off. Angel and the plastic surgery remark! I hope he gets his soon. Love it. Thank you..it's coming...I think!   Athenewolfe Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 10:06 pm great update sweetie - Angel is the world's biggest idiot I swear. I love how he was suppose to protect Buffy and fail. What a jerk - thunks head on desk! Loveed it as always! You are toooo sweet, I love it!   Irina Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 09:56 pm OMG! I can't believe Angel made that remark about plastic surgery... no wait considering what an idiot he is yes I can. I liked the bombshell Brother Luther dropped about Angel. I think Spike made a smart move when he listened to his inner voice and kept quiet. Fun scene between the teen Scoobies. Great update! Thank you...Wulfie asked for angst, but my bunny demands fun...it's hard keeping the middle ground.   Kat Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 09:48 pm oh dear more problems for the time travelers. at least someone has realized the implications of changing time. hmmm Angel is so bad. oh dear ROFL...yes he is!   Max Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 09:10 pm Please let that idiot mention that and then Buffy'll stake him and put him out of our misery- Angel would have to be the world's biggest dumbass for even CONSIDERING to mention something like that to a girl - that ranks right up there with when a girl asks you how something makes her butt look. He's not too swift is he?   TammyDevil666 Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 09:10 pm Are you serious? Now he thinks she needs plastic surgery? Oh yeah, he's a real winner. God, that dumbass is unbelieveable. What boyfriend would talk to their girlfriend about needing plastic surgery? That is sure to get a man castrated. I would do it if I were Buffy. She doesn't need any damn plastic surgery. Her nose is fine. I always thought that bump was cute and I feel like hitting him for thinking that it's unattractive. Okay, I know I was all against Angel getting staked in your other fiction, but I'm all for it in this one. He has never annoyed me so damn much before. I'm sure you won't disappoint. More please=) LOL...I'll see what I can do!   MarzBar Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 06:50 pm WTF!!! Angelus is going to tell Buffy to have plastic surgery?? Unf---ingbelievable. What's up with Giles and Joyce? That's pretty funny with the children and the Ewwwwws. More story please. won't be long I promise!   Oracleholly Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:47 pm OMG! I love that Dawn thought of the time paradox. Also, love the reveal of Angel's true purpose. And the whole chapter was worth the last three lines. Thank you sweetie   Richard Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:42 pm Active timeline metaphysics. That's where the universe is a unique giant computer that can be rewound back to a previous state to explore a different branch. Before Dawn came through, it could have been a branching multiverse. And the paradox could have been a quantum superposition. Or it could have been unresolved and led to an oscillation somehow. You chose the easy way out. A true scientist would never make an assuption without having all the facts and in reality boredom wasn't the emotion I was aiming for.   Karyn Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:24 pm wonderful update!! ohhhh can't wait to hear what the monk says!!! giggles..hopefully something stakeworthy...rofl, and ewwww creepy picture guy! rofl...I'd like to see a banner for that!   Firebird234 Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:19 pm Oh yeah Angel, mention the plastic surgery, It will be a one way street to dustville *cough* I hope *cough*. I have I mentioned how much I hate Angel if I haven't then, I Hate Angel, if I have oh well. Can't wait to read more Spuffyness, you can never have enough spuffyness. could not agree with you more!   jl1980 Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:17 pm i'm with shadow...beat angel's face in with a hammer so buffy can tell *him* to get his nose fixed...lol... awesome update, great twist on "Prophecy Girl"... love this story lots Thank you so much, I want a hammer too! LOL   redwulf50 Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:12 pm Oh yeah the whole gang is about to be in the know we'll see (Jack sings)   Shadow Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:10 pm *smacks Angel upside the head with a hammer* Dumbass Methinks Giles is gonna open a can of whoopass on Angel for his whole "Its a prophecy, it cant be stopped" when he was sent there to stop it... *smacks Angel with the hammer again* I see Spike has learned to keep is mouth firmly shut. Good for Spike. *GRIN* Anyone wanna bet that "Young-Buffy" finds out about "Future-Buffy"? Great Chapter Babe. *Smacks Angel again with the hammer for the sheer pleasure of it* Can I borrow the hammer! lol   maryperk Chapter 16. 04/08/2006 05:04 pm Great chapter. Stupid wanker not protecting her like he was suppose to. What an idiot. And plastic surgery? Can he get someon his enormous forehead? rofl...bless you MP!   Verda Chapter 15. 07/15/2006 03:17 am Joyce won't have the brain tumor now, that's great, Buffy won't have to die, this is great and Angel thinks it's all about him. Great chapter. I just couldn't let Joyce die   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 15. 07/15/2006 12:26 am stupid angel should eat the stupid monk and then choke and die... Rolf...don't hold back there!   Vwalk Chapter 15. 05/30/2006 11:01 pm Way to make Angel a fool. I love it. Great twist with the key.   Vwalk Chapter 15. 05/30/2006 11:01 pm Way to make Angel a fool. I love it. Great twist with the key. I do like to write Angel as a fool   Fred Chapter 15. 05/11/2006 03:45 am I love the little bits of Angel you keep throwing in. Blame the bunny   Delicia Chapter 15. 05/08/2006 03:44 pm Nice chapter! Though sad to hear the monk blame the Keyness of Dawn for Joyce's death Stupid Angel! He needs to get over himself. but um, he's stupid   Joyce Chapter 15. 04/27/2006 06:08 pm Loved how you got around the convolution of Keyness being behind a lot of trouble. You are rubbing out grief from Buffy's life bit by bit. the bunny made me do it   Cassie Chapter 15. 04/14/2006 02:48 am great read Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 15. 04/11/2006 04:18 am .... and eventually they find the dried out husk that was Angel..... lol no...need to bash some more!   Athenewolfe Chapter 15. 04/08/2006 10:03 pm LMAO - the last line was the funniest; angel is so obsessed with Giles and Buffy. He has to know what is best! *giggles* intersting Dawn scenes. Glad Joyce is going to live Thank you...it's getting a bit complicated LOL   sirc Chapter 15. 04/08/2006 02:24 pm Great chapter. Thank you   Onyx Chapter 15. 04/07/2006 06:44 pm Great chapter. ::gives candies:: Thank you soooo much   fallen_angel Chapter 15. 04/07/2006 01:28 pm Angel's still stuck waiting*laughs like a maniac* You're too good! more Angel suffering soo please! lol...I'll try!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 11:53 pm **rolls eyes at Idiot!Angel** Very nice, Jack! Loved Spike's protectiveness of Dawn and the interaction between them all! Though, it's only a matter of time before Buffy the Younger catches on that there's something going on right under her nose. Oh, man, I can only imagine the confrontation! well if you wait a little longer you'll be able to read it! LOL   Robyn Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 11:23 pm Angel is a fool who truly believes that the world revolves around him. And I am really looking forward to finding out about the ritual in the book that had Spike enthralled and Angel derisive. That last paragraph was the perfect complement to the seriousness and upset of the rest of the chapter, it had me laughing. I love how you do that. The protectiveness that Spike has for Dawn is truly beautiful and I loved how he reminded her that he was already dead then grabbed her and held her close. He always seems to know what the Summers’ girls need when they are upset. But then he is practically perfect. It is so great all the good that came by Buffy claiming Spike as belonging to the Summers' girls. It gave him somewhere he truly belonged, it saved Joyce’s like, and it saved them all from the horror of Glory and all the pain that came from that. Thanks for another wonderful update. only parctically???   MarzBar Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 09:49 pm The Key is depleted and invisible and Glory and Ben are locked out. Angel is going to get seriously broody, isn't he? More story please. Probably! LOL   vladt Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 09:35 pm enjoyable read and angel being no fool, hilarious. thanks for the fun read. You are most welcome   Jessica Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 09:29 pm Angel is so full of himself. I love how you set this story up. It is the perfect situation for Spike to get closer to everyone and for Buffy to see how much of a bastard Angel really is. Can't wait for more. This is a wonderful story. Thank you, you are too kind   TammyDevil666 Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 09:27 pm Yes, Angel, you are a fool. God, I didn't realize the world revolved around his royal arse. That royal pain in the arse needs a good kick to it. I seriously hope someone puts the pedophile in his place. Again, don't care which Buffy does it. Anyone else can also feel free to jump at the chance...lol! Okay, just had to say that. I really should not be reading any of your stories when I already have a headache, because again, they make me think way too much. That's never good for my head. It's very sensitive, but I still want more=) Sorry 'bout that...do I need a warning label?   Irina Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 09:15 pm I just love the way the story is playing out. I'm so glad you took care of the key situation. And as usual the Angel parts of the chapter were so funny. Wonderful update! Thank you kindly   Cewcew Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 08:51 pm OMG!!! Angel IS so much more beound dumb then I can even beleave! Grate chappie, Love the way you just saved Joyce. Hope for the next update soon. every other day!   redwulf50 Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 07:58 pm excellent fic as always, but is Angel a doof or what?? um...yeah!   Time of Change Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 07:19 pm Interesting twist on the story of the Key. Also, I can't help giggling at the thought of huggy Angel waiting for Giles. That said, I can't imagine that huffy Angel is a good thing. guess we'll find out! lol   Shadow Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 05:53 pm let Angel wait till hell freezes over... or his hair falls out from so much gel... *grin* Great chapter Jack. Thanks sweetie   Kat Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 05:03 pm Angel is a moron. I meen really what an idiot. I love spike in this chapter. I meen totally love him that was a perfect spike-dawn moment Thank you...can't argue with you!   kim Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 05:00 pm I had a feeling she'd be safe from Glory now. Yay! LOL...yup yay   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 04:39 pm Ah, lovely. I love seeing the new/old Giles' perceptions of Spike and his girls. And I love that this time Giles is looking *hopefully* for signs that Buffy is warmign up to Spike, and not fearfully. And Angel's such an idiot. Like all Giles' actions are designed for the sole purpose of pissing him off. Giles doesn't even know he's there!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 03:26 pm Whoops X2, posted blank reply...somebody delete that please *hides under desk* wasn't me really was the pixies the did it...really not me at all. Anyway reason for the second post was I realised I got sidetracked in my last paragraph and forgot to finish the sentence of poor dawnie finding out she was the cause of her mother though really granny's death in the future...*puts on Dunce hat* rofl...you make me laugh Harry, you are a joy to hear from   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 03:22 pm still ahead of me i see!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 03:20 pm I know the whole key is the important part in this update but the Angel sections were bloody hilarious....bleedin' idiot is playing a waiting game with someone who doesn't even know he is waiting for him? What did he think he did? send send out the bat signel? Not very sharp this bloke, just have to look at his choice of automobile...convertable I mean really, for a vamp? I can just hear him, 'You have won this round watcher. but i'll be back and the day will be mine' insert pansy evil laugh OK so because Buffy called her sister from the future from the time period where the time the key could be used had already passed and by absorbing the past date key it changed the sell by date of past key so it cannot be used anymore? OK that made sence in a really it didn't but it did because it's one of them time continium paradox's that don't quite make sense in order to actually make sense. kinda like that sentence ;) Poor Dawn being told she was the reason her mother who is not really her mother but in essence her grandmother because she was created using Buffy so really is her grand mother, One thing I never understood if you used the dna of one person to create a being wouldn't that person be a clone and look identical to the person created from? How would your clone end up taller, paler and with blue eyes? makes no sense to me. To the Poof Mobile!!!!! Update soon Harry rofl...I feel like I have to run to catch up with you Harry! LOL I love it!   Nova Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 03:16 pm *snicker* I love that last part, about Angel. This is getting really interesting, I can't wait to see what happens next. Thank you so much   SpaceLord Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 03:11 pm Angel waiting is just too much fun....the way you make Angel is just too funny. thank you...I like making him wait! lol   Karyn Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 02:59 pm giggles at Angel waiting and waiting and waiting..rofl great update! poor dawnie!! LOL...but she's got a chance now to be just a kid!   maryperk Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 02:50 pm Great chapter, Jack. Can't wait to see what you do for the next one. Thanks sweetie, but as usual I have to thank you for the help!   Oracleholly Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 02:47 pm Oh good, Joyce doesn't die this time. Stupid monks. But yay with Joyce not dying. LMAO at Angel -- like anyone knows he's at the library in the first place. Wanker. aparently not any more he's not! LOL...I only threatened to bobbitt him...you are a god!   UncagedMuse Chapter 15. 04/06/2006 02:42 pm LMAO I love the Angel bit at the end it was just too funny. The talk with the monk was great and I really like how you have Spike and Joyce hugging Dawn. Thank you...I'm really enjoying the Angel bits myself!   Verda Chapter 14. 07/15/2006 03:06 am When is Buffy going to unwrap her "gift", I really think she should. Is that the same monk who told Buffy about the kkey in the first place? Never did now his name. Great simply great. Thank you for your continued support, I really appreciate it   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 14. 07/15/2006 12:20 am its not every day that a monk shows up on your doorstep... well unless you live in a monastery... *blinks* a monk with knowledge no less   Lou Chapter 14. 07/02/2006 12:25 pm Top chapter! Clanky know-all Angel is overdue a slapdown. I liked Spike's theory - I always thought the cruciameneum was bad form on Giles' part. Thank you...I have to agree   Fred Chapter 14. 05/11/2006 03:39 am Really insightful of Spike there He has his moments   Delicia Chapter 14. 05/08/2006 03:38 pm Great insight into Giles' thinking from Spike. Angelus did so much damage to all of them. Yes he did...damage that he never said sorry for.   Joyce Chapter 14. 04/27/2006 06:01 pm Neat way to weave in Dawn like associations like this with bits of explanation every now and then. well I'm evil, so there's another explanation   Cassie Chapter 14. 04/14/2006 02:47 am Buffy? or Spike? You'll see   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 14. 04/11/2006 04:05 am Protector of the key? Which one? lol um...well that would be telling!   sirc Chapter 14. 04/05/2006 10:02 am great chapter thank you   vladt Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 10:19 pm great update. the poof waiting and brooding alone. joyce silently laughing(gift), giles in shock for what he will do or did. and now the monks. simply wonderful, thanks for all the enjoyment and please more, soon. I promise...soon   kim Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 07:15 pm Angel - eeeew! Good talk between the group. Spike really has the insight on everybody, if they'd given him a chance to tell it. I really like stories where he has a chance to right the wrongs Angelus caused. Ah, very nice to see the monks coming before Glory is around. Advance notice, and all that. Thanks soooo much for your review   redwulf50 Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:39 pm Another excellent chappie Thanks to a persistant nag! lol   Cewcew Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:26 pm No! not another helping on there already too full plate. Lol, man there going to be haven a long week. I just know Angels going to show up next. That would be the smart thing...you think Angel is that smart???   Athenewolfe Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:03 pm as always sweetoie - I loved the chapter. I especially loved your explanation of why Giles gave her the test - very well done sweets! LOL...you helped me with that!   UncagedMuse Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 03:11 pm Fantastic chp! thanks sweetie   Jace Nox Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 12:54 pm Oh, oh, oh....I can't wait. Keep up the good work and post soon...that is as long as real life doesn't beat you into submission. too late! lol   Bridget Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 11:36 am Great chapter. Angel is so full of himself it is annoying. Of course he would think Buffy is dreaming about him. I can't wait to read what will happen next. be prepared to be annoyed by Angel for a while! lol   MARGARET Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 10:22 am OOOHHH, THE PLOT THICKENS, I'M LOVING THIS STORY Thank yuo so much, I love to hear that!   MarzBar Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 10:11 am Brother Luthor?? Yay for keeping the Wankers' Council as far away as possible. I thought things were complicated enough for the moment! lol   Irina Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 09:40 am Spike really hit the nail on the head about the Angelus situation. I liked the new development at the end of the chapter. Fantastic update! Thank you so much   letitia Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 09:14 am Love the update. I so can't wait for more and what in the world does Angel think he is going to be able to convince anyone of. He is so out of his element here. he is in a world of his own!   Karyn Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 09:14 am ohhhh, great chapter, great explanation on why Giles did the ritual! and giggles over Joyce teasing about the 'gift' lol...liked that did ya?? Heehee   Shadow Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 08:53 am *grin* hope Angel is waiting till hell freezes over... the egotistical jerk. Kudos to Spike for the whole "Angelus changed you" speech and Giles being horrified of that damned ritual (which is nothing short of pre-meditated murder) And the monks arrive in disquise! Great Chapter Babe. Keep going! thanks sweetie...you too! lol   fallen_angel Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 08:39 am spuffy kissage rules. more soon please as soon as I can! lol   slinkypsychokit Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 08:39 am Man, they just can't get five minutes to breathe, can they? Try to change their world for the better and the cosmos starts throwing everything it can at them! Then there is the reigning king of self-delusion. Can't he just trip and fall, accidentally dusting himself with a coctail umbrella? I mean, really, Angel! Grab a mitt and catch a clue! Hair gel, model glue and paintchips were not designed for freebasing! still laughing!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 08:38 am Man, they just can't get five minutes to breathe, can they? Try to change their world for the better and the cosmos starts throwing everything it can at them! Then there is reigning king of self-delusion. Can't he just trip and fall, accidentally dusting himself with a coctail umbrella? I mean, really, Angel! Grab a mitt and catch a clue! Hair gel, model glue and paintchips were not designed for freebasing! ROFL...I am at a loss on how to comment to this...I am laughing too hard!   just sue Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 07:58 am Scrummy chapter, hun. Every time you bring Angel in my teeth clench - my dentist is not gonna be happy with me! And now Brother Luther has come to see... Wow! That's gonna blow poor Giles' mind even more. Thanks ever so and so looking forward to more. Thank you soooo much...Giles isn't the only one...my head feels like its gonna explode too! lol   Kat Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 07:48 am oh wow wasnt really expecting that one. hmmmm me either...I blame the bunnies!   Pin Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:41 am Great Chapter! Everything is so contorted - and I love Buffy's new memories of ramance with Spike. Looking forward to finding out what Joyce meant by Buffy's Gift. Love your portrayal of Angel! The comment about the gift was in reference to Buffy's comment inthe previous chapter...when she complained that younger Buffy thought that Spike was a gift sent to her from the Powers and that she could 'get her own damn gift'.   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:35 am You know it's amazing how if you look at things a certain way you can blame every bad thng that happened on Angel(us). For example you could argue that the reason the first was such a major foe in season 7 was because Angelus had opened the gates of hell in season 2, and then the powers had further weakened the dimensional walls when they let Angel out from Hell. And when TPTB again stepped in stopping him from dusting himself, the first was major pissed and had a few years to spew on it and that is why when it had it's next chance it was so formidable and vindictive because he was allowed to spew and plan for the next three years his next step. So if he was never allowed a chance first time he would have been easier to defeat second time. So Angel is still waiting in the library for Giles, why would Giles be in the library on Saturday anyway? Just because he has no life he can't expect no one else to have one either...lousy git. Would be brilliant if he had to wait there all day, or better still gtes caught be security and has to make a run for it in the morning sun, which would not only be amusing to read, also painful for Angelus . Loved the comment from Joyce, poor Buffy didn't even realise she put claim on Spike. Cool Protector of the Key, why do I get the feeling he's talking about Spike not Buffy? Probably too many fics where Spike is referred to as the Protector of the Key!!!!..lol Should be interesting to hear what he says. right well loved the update, now i'm going to see if I can actually finish writing a reply for the other fic. Update Soon Harry bless you Harry...just...bless you!   Robyn Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:34 am Thank you for another fabulous update. Spike’s explanation of why Giles would put Buffy through the Cruciamentum makes a lot of sense, Angelus’s return did change everyone and it wasn’t necessarily for the better. I really like that Joyce was there when Spike kissed Buffy and that she spoke up at the perfect moment so that Buffy was not able to go into her usual diatribe and hurt Spike. I love that Angel is waiting for Giles at the library certain that he is going to be there at any moment, and the ending with Brother Luther showing up, I am really looking forward to where it goes. me too...damn bunnies! lol   pretty_in-fangs Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 06:22 am Mmmm... kisses... And there was some other story after that, too, I think. ;) I have no idea...I'm still on the kisses too!   angelivia Chapter 14. 04/04/2006 05:43 am I love that story... The suspens is killing me !! ;) Please go on... Soon...I promise!   Verda chapter 13. 07/15/2006 02:58 am Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This is so freaking amazing. Can't say it enough. WOW! thank you, you really have made my day   DarkBloodyMistress chapter 13. 07/15/2006 12:12 am yes, buffy has gone bonkers Not really   Vwalk chapter 13. 05/30/2006 10:21 pm Yay spuffy kissing is of the good. I'm really enjoying this story. Thank you...kissing is always of the good   redwulf50 chapter 13. 05/28/2006 01:29 pm I wonder if older Buffy realizes how much younger Buffy's opinion is influencing her own about Spikem, like a feed back loop Older Buffy is not the brightest bulb in the light show!   Fred chapter 13. 05/11/2006 03:34 am well that should teach her! You would hope...it would teach me!   Delicia chapter 13. 05/08/2006 03:33 pm Ahh, emotions are high. The kiss was inevitable! Great job! Thank you, she did have it coming   Isabel chapter 13. 04/30/2006 06:05 pm Buffy jealous of herself? That was hilarious! Good one lol Buffy is an interesting character to write!   Cassie chapter 13. 04/14/2006 02:46 am nice kiss Thank you   delusional_harm chapter 13. 04/13/2006 01:36 pm Weeee! This chapter was sweet. Hee, Buffy being jealous of him of her younger self =D Thank you soo much, glad you are enjoying it   Elizabeth Anne Summers chapter 13. 04/11/2006 03:36 am *wolf whistles loudly* thats a good thing...right?   slinkypsychokit chapter 13. 04/04/2006 02:10 am ROFL! Just picturing Miss Tiny in the throws of a jealous rage because her YOUNGER self was falling in love with Spike! **dies laughing** What a kiss at the end! Spike'll be a bitty puddle of helpless vampire when she's thru with him! and what will Buffy be???? LOL   Athenewolfe chapter 13. 04/03/2006 03:00 pm I really liked this line - hat maybe the Angel you know, you only know through the eyes of the child that you were? That maybe in your timeline, you were so in love with him that you didn’t notice any faults and that now that you are seeing him from an adult’s point of view? you are pointing out something that needs to be sad - a young girl's point of view is very different then an adult's - Great comment here. I did see one error - she calls Joyce "mum" however that is a british saying not an american - she would call her mom. Oh damn - nice kiss! Love it sweetie.... cant wait for more! thanks fpr catching that sweetie...I'll it immediately   UncagedMuse chapter 13. 04/02/2006 10:52 pm Great chp! Thanks Hon   vladt chapter 13. 04/02/2006 09:39 pm that's the way spike, time to act not talk. well, we know how well that usually works. good update. very good read. thanks You are welcome...next we'll see how Buffy acts!   kim chapter 13. 04/02/2006 06:06 pm Woo hoo!!!!! Go Spike! And I was laughing right along with Giles and Joyce. That was hilarious. Thank you...I do try   Jace Nox chapter 13. 04/02/2006 05:31 pm *yells happily* YES Spike made a move...yes Spike made a move!!! YEE-HAW!!!! Wonderful Chappie Thank you...now we just have to see if Buffy moves back!   Karyn chapter 13. 04/02/2006 04:39 pm woo hoo!! give it to her good! lol, great chapter!! loved the little jealous "let her get her own damn gift!” lol...thanks sweetie...I do try!   Harry 4Eyes chapter 13. 04/02/2006 03:36 pm “She’s been dreaming about him, she just saw him and thinks he’s her destiny, a gift from the Powers, let her get her own damn gift!” LMBAO, I wonder how that would work? if Buffy jnr went out and got get own damn gift, wouldn't that mean that Buffy snr would end up with the gift as well and then that would mean that neither Buffy's would have Spikey Gift? Also if Buffy Snr let Buffy Jnr be with Spike, she'd get all the pleasent memories of the Spike loving and then continue on when she gets back, at the moment she's depriving herself of years worth of Spike loving memories and yet still be with Spike...OK I got confused there somewhere. It doesn't really matter because Spike is not in love with past Buffy because she's too much of a kid. Ooooh kissage going on, so no guesses what both A and B Buffy will be dreaming tonight. Being jeolous of yourself for crushing on the guy who has been after you for over a year..wierd. Well still loving it. Update soon Harry ROFL...Harry your reviews are a delight!   Kat chapter 13. 04/02/2006 12:55 pm I am getting so confused. the changing memories are driving me batty. lol I can actually follow the story fine it is just one of those confusing situations. thats why its called a Paradx!   BTV chapter 13. 04/02/2006 12:46 pm *Squees* I love this story! I think angel has been sniffing his gel... me too! lol   MarzBar chapter 13. 04/02/2006 12:06 pm I love that "sack of hammers" analogy to being a taco short of a combination plate. It's always good when Spike goes directly after what he wants. More story please. Thank you...sack of hammers was donated by Maryperk! It's coming! LOL   Nikkole chapter 13. 04/02/2006 11:53 am OH BOY! I can't wait for the next update! won't be lol!   Bridget chapter 13. 04/02/2006 11:44 am Good chapter. It is about time that Spike made a move. It is isn't it...and what a move it was!   pretty_in_fangs chapter 13. 04/02/2006 11:40 am WOW! ::laughs hysterically:: I gotta see where this goes. She did ask for it!   gaillee chapter 13. 04/02/2006 11:34 am Superb! Thank you. You are most welcome!   sirc chapter 13. 04/02/2006 10:20 am great chapter thank you   Cewcew chapter 13. 04/02/2006 10:19 am Go Spike! Lol, thats guna confuse the girl even more. rofl! she is so easily confused!   Shadow chapter 13. 04/02/2006 10:03 am "paging Angel... Pageing Angel... will Angel please report to Headquarters... ego must be over-inflated by at least 300%" Sheesh... *grin* and YAAAAAAAAAAA Spuffy kissage GO SPIKE! Great chapter hun! Thanks Shadow..now stop reading and get back to writing! LOL   Oracleholly chapter 13. 04/02/2006 09:51 am Oh yes!!! A thousand times Yes!!! I love that adult Buffy's rose-colored glasses when it comes to Angel are getting a readjustment. And whoa nelly that kiss at the end! How can you leave us hanging like that? 'cause I'm evil! What...did everyone miss that memo?? LOL   jeanie chapter 13. 04/02/2006 09:19 am naughty to leave it there. hilarous update though. keep it coming. I is evil! heehee !   Mali chapter 13. 04/02/2006 08:10 am *cheers* Yess, the meltdown. Please oh please don't let Buffy push him away this time. Or the next time, or the time after that. LOL...you're wish and all that!   Yzba chapter 13. 04/02/2006 07:57 am ooooh, it's getting good!! love the jealous fit;) And I laughed almost as much as Joyce and Giles;) LOL..thanks, it's nice to know I'm doing my job.   lilmamaday chapter 13. 04/02/2006 07:54 am Go Spike! Take advantage of the jealous Buffy! I can so see Joyce and Giles laughing at Buffy's jealousy, of her younger self! Only Buffy could pull off being jealous of herself! I can't wait to see what happens next! Poor deluded Angel! Will anyone put him out of our misery? Would it work?   Irina chapter 13. 04/02/2006 07:20 am Great confrontation between jealous Buffy and Spike, I really enjoyed the ending of it. I just love when Spike gets all forceful like that. I'm really looking forward to the aftermath of Spike's actions. Fantastic chapter! Thanks..me likey forceful Spike too! YUM   chapter 13. 04/02/2006 07:18 am Nail meet head! Yes, Angel wanted/loved the little virginal innocent girl he could mold and protect and train....Spike wants an equal partner to fight and love and shag on equal footing. So well illustrated! Nice update. I am enjoying this one a lot. Kathleen Thank you...I just call 'em as I see 'em!   just sue chapter 13. 04/02/2006 07:09 am Oh, my! Angel needs an analyst - like years ago - but now would be good. Am loving Spike's mix of wariness and defiance - and his lips, 'cos lips of Spike - yum! But will Buffy kiss him back? Loved this chapter and will be avidly looking for more, hun. Thanks ever so. You are welcome...I update every other day, so you shouldn't have long to wait!   Robyn chapter 13. 04/02/2006 06:26 am I love Joyce's and Giles's reaction to Buffy's jealousy over her younger self seeing Spike. And her reaction when he comes into the apartment, perfect. And the best part, when he grabs her and kisses her to show that it is her that he wants and not her younger self that as he puts it so perfectly is still a child. I really love how obvious you have made this important difference between Spike and Angel, Spike loves and wants grown up Buffy who is his equal, Angel ‘loves’ and wants young Buffy who will look up to him and who he can influence. Thanks for the great update. You are most welcome...thank you for your kind review.   Jamie chapter 13. 04/02/2006 05:59 am OH YEAH, great chapter I cant wait for the next one thanks...you won't have long to wait.   SpaceLord chapter 13. 04/02/2006 05:56 am Nice chapter, just wish they were longer This story is really interesting, since it's not the usual Spike goes back and gets the younger Buffy to fall for him. Thank you...I just can't imagine spike falling for Buffy when she was that young.   Verda Chapter 12. 07/15/2006 02:49 am Pieces are starting to fit together and now Buffy has heard Angel and seen Spike. Yes the pieces are starting to fit. Excellent chapter. Thank you...it is a process   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 12. 07/15/2006 12:10 am bad spike *shakes finger* lol But.... LOL   Fred Chapter 12. 05/11/2006 03:28 am really good...funny too Thank you so much   Delicia Chapter 12. 05/08/2006 03:28 pm Nice chapter! I wonder what the ritual entails? I'll just read on to find out then . Yes you will   Isabel Chapter 12. 04/30/2006 05:57 pm I love the way you write Angel. It satisfy my Angel bashing needs lol Great chapter. I also love the relationship developing between Spike and Giles. I always thought those two should be friends. I too like the Giles/Spike connection. And the Angel bashing itches a scratch for me   Cassie Chapter 12. 04/14/2006 02:46 am funny! LOL..thanks   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 12. 04/11/2006 03:21 am Well they had to meet eventually! True!   sirc Chapter 12. 04/02/2006 10:14 am great chapter thank you   Robyn Chapter 12. 03/31/2006 04:41 pm Angel is such a pain in the rear, I just have to laugh at how obtuse and idiotic he is. I really loved that instead of jumping to his defense or even apologizing she demands an explanation and then points out his responsibility for what happened and informs him that he was lucky to get off so easily. I really love how Giles treats Spike and that when he introduced him to Jenny it was as his friend. I am extremely curious about the ritual please don’t keep us in suspense for too long. Am totally looking forward to what happens next after young Buffy accidentally saw Spike. Thanks for the wonderful update. You are very welcome...You have pointed out all my most favorite bits in the chapter too!   just sue Chapter 12. 03/31/2006 12:57 pm Wah! Have just caught up with this and am now your devoted slave. What a cracking ride. Thanks ever so and really looking forward to more. Thank you...I promise to give you more if you make the same promise! LOL   Oracleholly Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 11:18 pm You tease! lol I love how you say you have no clue as to where you are going with this... well, if that is the case... then I say Bring on the chaos! Cause I'm loving it. Chaos it of the good!   Jace Nox Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 08:14 pm *snerk* Spike's in trouble...Spike's in trouble...Hehehe there's trouble and there's TROUBLE! lol   Cewcew Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 07:18 pm lol, she may. cant wait to find out what she does. She....nah you can wait!   Kat Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 06:16 pm oh dear spikes in trouble. and hmmm i do have to wonder what rituall it is. There is a few that I can think of. And I think Paradox might actually be an understatement of what is happening here. amazing chapter Thank you so much...Paradox is a word that implies sooo much!   kim Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 06:02 pm It's okay, Spike. If she doesn't see you again for quite a while, she'll start to think that she just imagined you, and it will just be attached to her dream. What's the ritual?????? You'll seeeee! heehee   Karyn Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 05:58 pm excellent!!! yup, he's my dream guy too! lol ...ohhhhh wonder what's in the ritual!!! Isn't he everyone's??? Ahhh the ritual!   MarzBar Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 05:42 pm LMAO! Angelus wants to lock up Joyce in the loony bin and take custody of Dawn?? Taking custody of Dawn might be worse than his curse of a soul if he actually tried to take care of her. WEG The conversation with Jenny was short and to the point. More story please. Thank you and it's coming!   redwulf50 Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 05:06 pm Oh yeah excellent chapter The next one's for you...I'm dedicating all my Angel diatribe to Wulfie!   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 04:41 pm Oh dear. Spike's in trouble now. I'm thinking it won't be long before the Buffys will be meeting one another. Let's just hope Spike survives till than!   Athenewolfe Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 04:00 pm excellant *HUGS* Thanks *HUGS*   vladt Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 03:28 pm peeping angel,spike's "...buffy's gonna kill me," and in interesting ritual. good read and great anticipation. thanks Your welcome...Thanks for the review!   Shadow Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 02:48 pm *grin* and the pedophile is caught with his pants down... so to speak... Great chappie! And yet...he still doesn't have a clue!   Irina Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 02:44 pm I loved Buffy's first glimpse of her dream man. The mysterious ritual sounds so intiguing. Can't wait to read more. Wonderful update! Thank you sooo much   deedo Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 02:34 pm I don't think his big brown puppy dog eyes will be much help for Angel now that Buffy got a glimpse of his true self, I wonder how the lecture he has planned for Giles yet again will play out and for my liking Buffy let him of the hook far to easy *pout* the ritual got me curious though, risky but will get him his dreams if he succeeds, can't wait to find out what that is all about great update *patiently waiting for more* and you will be rewarded for your patience!   fallen_angel Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 02:14 pm What's the ritual? what does it do? ok common u can't leave me hanging? and is Buffy really gonna kill him? But...I'm evil! heehee   Tamara Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 02:11 pm Good job in getting Angel to show his true colors . And Joyce knew it was him, that's why she hit him with the ax. LOL...you got me! Joyce really hates him!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 01:58 pm “He’s here, Will. The guy from my dream.” Now if she said of instead of from, it would take a completely different and corny meaning..lol Dude I wasn't far off with the Walking in on them when Angel told Giles to move remove Buffy from her mother, shame it didn't lead to any dumping though, not even a broken nose...but the sead of doubt blossems and Spring is just around the corner...oooh I liked that, i'm going to use that again sometime... Well I see some major spring cleaning going on soon. should be entertaining to read. You in Trouble Spikey, there is no way Spike can hide the fact Buffy jnr just caught sight of him from Buffy Snr, as she'll no doubt have received a 3D message of the whole encounter and no doubt fuming and threatening to stake him soon as he walks through the door....I originally wrote this as I if I was talking to Spike, which was wierd. Wonder what the ritual is all about? Risky but highly dividends if successful, can't wait to read the outcome of that one. Well love the update update soon. Harry Thanks Harry, you do keep me on my toes!   Bridget Chapter 12. 03/30/2006 01:45 pm Great chapter. Thank you   Verda Chapter 11 07/15/2006 02:38 am You are marvelous Jacks! Stalker, pedophile Angel wants to remove her from an unstable home? That's rich. Yay Dawnie! just love her dialogue! Awesome! Thank you so much, you have just about made my day   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 11 07/15/2006 12:02 am lol, go joyce I do love her character   Fred Chapter 11 05/11/2006 03:21 am Loved this Thank you   Delicia Chapter 11 05/08/2006 03:21 pm Loved this chapter! Painful angst makes for a great plot. I laughed so hard when Joyce hit Angel; that was priceless! Thank you, you just made my day   Cassie Chapter 11 04/14/2006 02:45 am great read Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 11 04/11/2006 03:03 am Yes! At least this time she did whack the right vamp! YUP heehee   Nikkole Chapter 11 04/02/2006 11:38 am LOL! Angel got hit with an axe! Making with the happy dance here! And he thinks Buffy needs to be removed form an unstable environment? Again I say...what an idiot!!! And again I agree!   sirc Chapter 11 04/02/2006 10:08 am great chapter Thank you   MarzBar Chapter 11 03/29/2006 08:24 pm I think I had a blonde moment because I can't find any review from me for this chapter and I feel sure I've read it before. Anyway, great enraged Joyce scene. She's awesome when she's provoked. Also, thanks to Karyn for the fabulous banner. I will pass on your thanks to Karyn, I try to thank her daily!   Oracleholly Chapter 11 03/29/2006 07:17 pm Okay... that was just simply great! Marvelous! I love that Dawn reminded Angel of Spike... and then at the end with Joyce & the axe!!! lmao lol...I just couldn't let that scene go to waste.   lilmamaday Chapter 11 03/29/2006 06:59 pm I just love this story! Having Dawn pop in now is really good and I hope that Angel gets what he deserves! so do I...but I have to trust the bunnies, they haven't led my wrong so far!   time of change Chapter 11 03/29/2006 06:32 pm Love your rewrite of Joyce's big moment with the axe! thank you...I couldn't resist   Athenewolfe Chapter 11 03/29/2006 05:11 am great update sweetie - I loved the lines about the bat and the whacking the right vamp - you did an excellant job with Joyce and Dawn - such wonderful disciptions of them, their characters and priceless actions. *squeezes you* loved this chapter Thank you...I'm gonna get all shy and squiggy now. I love Joyce and I really enjoy writing her. Reviews do make the writing easier so I have give you a great big thank you for your support.   MarzBar Chapter 11 03/29/2006 03:12 am Chuckle, giggle! I would like to hear Angelus' serious talk with Giles about Buffy's unhealthy environment. More story please. next chap i think...coming soon!   fallen_angel Chapter 11 03/29/2006 01:49 am *Go mom! At least this time you whacked the right vamp.* I totally love this Dawn and yah go Joyce! Seriously Angel's a git what does he mean by unhealthy? he is the one unhealthy for Buffy! you're preachin' to the choir here!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 11 03/29/2006 01:15 am You know the last paragraph confused me I originally thought it might have been Buffy looking from the window and called that out and I had a whole bunch of questions and theories but it was Dawn so not so much a biggie. Oooh Angel just gave Buffy a whole perfect excuse to dump him, All Giles has to do is make a big commotion about when Angel tells him he needs to remove daughter from her mother and hope one of the Scoobies of Buffy are close by, or just tell Angel he should tell her himself because he isn't going to do it...better still, act all concerned and sit Buffy down and explain to her that he's worried about her family life after what Angel told him ;) Should do the trick nobody likes a control freak boyfriend..lol Oooh Jenny confrontation. could be interesting, and very good point on the whole life change if she told everyone and stated alive, no tortured Buffy who runs away, no rift between the threeseome, no blatent predjudice against Spike because no Angelous to compare with, no super witchy, dark magic Willow because they'd have a professional witch on board and she could be trained properly...ofcourse might also mean no Tara because Willow would not need to go to wicka group to learn but i'm sure there is a workaround for that, because if anything Spike would go out of his way to befriends her I think. You know this is what I like about time travel fics the possabilities are endless and trying to figure out the whole chain of events that could take place for changing one thing is quite fun. Well still loving it, can't wait to see how Giles handles the Jenny and Angel situation, should be interesting. Well update soon Harry I can only hope that my imagination measures up to yours! LOL...the joys of paradoxes!   jamie Chapter 11 03/29/2006 01:11 am YAH, hopefully Angel will have more coming for him than a whack on the head. Another great chapter. lol...we'll see!   UncagedMuse Chapter 11 03/29/2006 12:37 am So loving this more and more with each chap! Will be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next update. Thank you...I'm really starting to get into it myself! LOL   Jace Nox Chapter 11 03/29/2006 12:25 am GO JOYCE!! YES!! I knew there was a reason that I loved Joyce. Angel Bat...yes lol...you people are so easy to please...all it takes is a little violence on Angel and it's happy dance time! I love it!   Shadow Chapter 11 03/28/2006 11:36 pm GO JOYCE! Whack him again... only a little lower... and apply the sharp edge... *EVIL GRIN* Hopefully they can stop "young buffy" from making the mistake "older buffy" did with angel... I mean yuck... Great chapter hun... keep up the good work! Thanks sweetie. I thwacked him just for you!   deedo Chapter 11 03/28/2006 11:01 pm yay, Joyce and her axe and Angel, just waiting for Buffy, hovering outside her window, hidden in a tree while she is taking a shower, a real gentleman thank god for the Dawn/Joyce-tag-team great chapter, I'm glad I got up a little bit earlier to read it before work happy to make you happy!   Firebird234 Chapter 11 03/28/2006 10:55 pm Ah yes Angel gets wacked in the head by Joyce with an Ax I love it. Go Joyce, Can't wait to read more Angel bashing, please tell me there will be more Angel bashing plllleeeeeeaaaaasssseee *gives the puppy dog eyes*. I'll think about it...HA...who am I kidding!   Karyn Chapter 11 03/28/2006 10:33 pm rofl...i just love the ending ...no matter how many times i read it! giggles! lol...you are sooo easily pleased!   Tamara Chapter 11 03/28/2006 09:56 pm GO Joyce, indeeed. Dawn had it right. At least when Spike was hanging around Buffy's window , he stayed on the ground intead of peeping . That should be one interesting convo between Spike and Giles. Though it might not be as hard as they think after young Buffy's dreams about Spike. We'll just have to wait and see!   Cewcew Chapter 11 03/28/2006 09:55 pm Right vamp for sure! More Please, I promise to be good. ok...but just cause you asked so nicely!   neo_trinityknot Chapter 11 03/28/2006 09:35 pm haha!

LOL   Yzba Chapter 11 03/28/2006 08:35 pm Finally someone is bashing Angel's head;) And Dawn is so right, this time it IS the right vamp! LOL...glad you approve   Kat Chapter 11 03/28/2006 08:33 pm Yay joyce still got to use the ax. hehehe that is brilliant. I think that the world is going to be a changed place. now whether it will work or not is anyones guess. well except yours i do assume you have some idea. lol Not a clue! LOL   redwulf50 Chapter 11 03/28/2006 08:28 pm LMAO, poooor widdle Angel He is so abused Sad but true...and funny!   Robyn Chapter 11 03/28/2006 08:23 pm Dawn and Joyce what a team and what a perfect use of an axe. I loved Dawn's comment to Angel about hair gel, she certainly learned a lot of good things from Spike. I'm glad that Buffy came clean about what happened with Angelus and that they are going to bring Jenny in earlier to help with things. Can't wait for when Angel talks to Giles about removing Buffy from the 'unhealthy environment'. Thanks for the fabulous update. Thank so much, I really am getting a kicjk out of writing this!   jl1980 Chapter 11 03/28/2006 08:21 pm oh and that incredibly beautiful banner deserves an extra review!! lol...awesome!!

Gah, Angel is getting on my nerves more and more! He'll get worse! lol   Cassie Chapter 10 04/14/2006 02:44 am You know this could get really complicated Don't I know it (Jack bangs head)   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 10 04/11/2006 02:45 am STAAAAAKE AAAANGEL!

So getting really interesting. lol...it's getting complicated!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 10 03/27/2006 01:26 am Hmmm...I get the distint feeling you don't like Angel much? no idea why though..you portray him as such a nice person. I liked your explanaion of the new memories, makes sense. I was going to suggest Spike sneak out and meet Buffy jnr but Buffy Snr will find out no matter how sneaky it is, of course by the time she finds out it will have already happened and there is nothing she can do about it...lol So obviously Angel needs a good beating preferably from Spike afterall he just took credit for his job...or maybe Drusilla, poor lass That in itself should be years and years worth of guilt, but he never really did anything, Wanker. He is in essence responsible for every crime she commits because he made her like that, she'd probably have been like Dalton if he turned her without driving her batty I think. Well still loving it Update soon Harry Harry I love reading your musings...they brighten up my day...so I need to thank you!   Robyn Chapter 10 03/27/2006 12:27 am Angel is a Poof who sniffs his own hair gel and is a bloody wanker. Okay bad paraphrase, but one of the best lines ever, it is still making me laugh. I can't wait until he gets put in his place, please tell me he will, pretty please. I love how Joyce laid into Snyder, and Buffy's explanation of how her new memories work. Will we find out soon how Buffy and Spike first meet? Please. Thanks for the great update. You know better that to ask for whats coming! I'm evil! Thanks for the review.   MarzBar Chapter 10 03/26/2006 10:06 pm I'm so glad the three of them had a really good laugh over Captain Forehead. Now, what will happen with Jenny, Giles and the curse? More story please. It is coming! Soon I promise   Irina Chapter 10 03/26/2006 10:01 pm I liked Buffy's explanation of how her memories are changing. I just love Giles in this fic. Nice use of levity on Spike's part to lighten up Giles' mood. Good update! Love this banner too! Thank you... once again I have to thank Karyn for the banner. She is a gem!   Tamara Chapter 10 03/26/2006 09:37 pm Giles sounds pissed in more ways than one. I can't blame him for that. Angel is enough to drive a saint to drink. I can't remember how it was found out by the Scoobies about the Anoited One in canon. Great chapter. LOL...neither can I!   Kat Chapter 10 03/26/2006 09:37 pm Oh ok then I think i got the memories thing sorted out but here is the kicker. I still dont get how it works. I understand that the past is changing and that meens that older buffy's memories are changing and I can even understand what she meens when she says that the current memories that she is making are going to stay. But the only reason the memories are changing in the first place is because they went back in time and changed them. So...if things are changed when they get to the future and need to get re-sent back buffy will have different memories that time and things will turn out differentlly again. Or what if they wern't sent back in the new time line, then no one would have came back and things would happen the way they did the first time around. I am not really sure how much sence that made but I hope you understand what I said. I am sure that it will continue to be explained as you carry on. great chapter and I love Giles' attitude so much Now you are coming to the crux of the matter...Paradox!   redwulf50 Chapter 10 03/26/2006 08:58 pm excellent chappie, but you knew that already Thanks for letting my bounce my ideas off you!   Karyn Chapter 10 03/26/2006 08:54 pm get him Giles! kick his ass! rofl i loved Giles' rant! Please someone tell younger buffy what an ass he is!!! pleazzzze! lol All will come to those that are patient sweetie!   Bridget Chapter 10 03/26/2006 08:39 pm I really like this Giles. Good update. thanks...I like this Giles too   Verda Chapter 9 07/15/2006 02:13 am Boy is this great! Now she'll see just what a jerk he was. This story is awesome. Thank you so much *blushes*   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 9 07/14/2006 11:41 pm Okay, someone needs to like... hurt Angel... bad LOL...give me time   Fred Chapter 9 05/11/2006 03:08 am excellent chapter Thank you so much   Delicia Chapter 9 05/08/2006 03:00 pm Great chapter! I'm still slightly confused, but don't worry I'm getting it. I like how Buffy's rearranged memories are helping out. That was a great idea! Thank you...it might get more confusing before the light shines through   Cassie Chapter 9 04/14/2006 02:43 am I'm glad I was told about this fic, it's fun I'm glad you were too   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 9 04/11/2006 02:33 am Dust Angel! Dust Angel! Dust Angel! again...it puts a damper on the bashing   Nikkole Chapter 9 04/02/2006 10:56 am heheh! Spike is gonna be PISSED! I really dilike Angel. LOL...be more worried about Buffy's reaction!   Oracleholly Chapter 9 03/29/2006 07:15 pm Angel is a poophead -- yes, I'm stealing that from Wulfie. lol Good person to steal from!   Athenewolfe Chapter 9 03/27/2006 02:04 pm LMAO - Oh my sweetie that was really good! I enjoy how she is using the memory - it is so much fun! you know I'm doing the happy dance right now don't you!   sirc Chapter 9 03/25/2006 02:47 pm great chapter thank you   Shady Chapter 9 03/25/2006 02:39 pm Loving Buffy's little outbursts! Keep it comin, Jack! Its coming...soon   Cewcew Chapter 9 03/25/2006 02:31 pm Update, update, more, more, more! Please. Totaly loven this story! Thank you..it's coming, I promise   lilmamaday Chapter 9 03/25/2006 08:03 am Angel is soooo busted! I am really glad that Buffy is able to tell the new memories from the old and that Angel is going to have to answer for his lies! I really do like how everyone is getting along and how well Joyce took the news! Can't wait to see what is happening at the library! I wonder if Giles will call Angel on his lie? Sad to say, at this point in time, Giles can't say a word...but its coming!   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 9 03/25/2006 07:16 am Blody hell, Angel is sooo going to get his arse handed to him on a plate, Hopefully Giles (I originally wrote penny here..lol) will correct him infront of Junior Buffy and he'll be one step closer to dumpville, not that he isn't that close already what with the non listening and dreaming of the blond vamp and everything. I really can't wait for the Summers women uniting and ganging up on him, just between Dawn and Joyce he will turn into a blubbering mess...ofcourse he'll still not realise he's in the wrong but you can't have everything I guess. I loved the first paragraph of Joyce recapping, using obvious Buffy/Spike speak was bloody classic. Also explanation of the Key timejump actually makes sense in some wierd sort of way, though still not certain if there is now two keys or the keys have merged and the other part I mentioned before. Hey how come Spike can't meet youner Buffy? surly by not meeting they are disturbing the time line as he was the main foe at the time and his absence could have an adverse effect on the timeline, like what would happen with Kendra (kinda wrong but still hoping she still kops it so Faith could be called because I always liked Faith, felt the scoobies did wrong by her) and i'm thinking too ahead of myself well still loving it. Update soon. Harry. P.S how the bloody hell do you manage to update so often? Harry I will try to address the key issue...It is in the plot notes. Giles can't say thet he knows Angel is lying...yet. Spikie and young Buffy will meet...its coming. The Kendra issue will be addressed, but I can't say more than that...not secret spilling here me lad. And finally, I manage to update as often as I do because, sadly, I have no life! lol Still loving your reviews.   Tamara Chapter 9 03/25/2006 02:08 am Very sensible explanaions for everything. Buffy really did break everything to Joyce at the worst possible time and the worst way the first time, didn't she? I wonder what young Buffy thinks about what Angel claimed? It should neat when he's exposed as a liar. At that time...young Buffy thinks...well theres an oxymoron for you! lol   Robyn Chapter 9 03/25/2006 01:46 am This chapter was great and I love Buffy using Spike's name for the annoying one. And Buffy's anger at Angel for taking the credit also great. I like how young Buffy was angry with Angel being at Parents night rather than being angry with Giles as Angel expected. And the explanation for Dawn being there and all of their memories adjusting makes perfect sense. I really love your stories, you do great work. Thank you so much...I appreciate your comments   MarzBar Chapter 9 03/25/2006 01:22 am Imagine that!?! Angelus taking credit where credit isn't due?!? I hope virgin Buffy starts to catch on more quickly now. More story please. It's coming...soon...thanks for your review   UncagedMuse Chapter 9 03/25/2006 12:41 am *aplauds* Excellent fic so far. Will be waiting for more. And it will be coming! Just for you   vladt Chapter 9 03/25/2006 12:32 am good read. and glad to see angel is true to form. thanks for the fun read. Your welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying it!   Karyn Chapter 9 03/24/2006 11:05 pm rofl, great update jack! wonderful! Thank you...I aim to please...it's easier than being evil all the time!   kim Chapter 9 03/24/2006 10:48 pm Ah, I was right about Dawn. Cool! I like that Buffy is realizing what are new memories, versus her original ones. That's very helpful. It can also be confusing...   pretty_in_fangs Chapter 9 03/24/2006 10:45 pm Oh no. I think I just found a new fic that I'll be watching compulsively for updates. ::grin:: I love it. thanks...I try to update every other day.   akarinacj Chapter 9 03/24/2006 10:07 pm This story is SO great Thank you soo much   Max Chapter 9 03/24/2006 10:03 pm Gee, Angel lying to make himself look better to the severely underaged girl... why am I not suprised? um...'cause you're not an underaged girl?   TammyDevil666 Chapter 9 03/24/2006 09:48 pm God, he is really pissing me off in this. The guy seriously needs to be smacked. I don't care which Buffy does it. I'm very close to going into your fiction and doing it myself...lol! Are the two Buffy's ever going to meet? That could be interesting. Good chapter, except for the fact that this fiction makes me think too hard. I don't like to think, no good can come out of it...lol! Well, I'm guessing your other story will be updated next. It's a good thing I'm reading both of them now=) rofl...angel does seem to be losing the popularity vote!   pfeifferpack Chapter 9 03/24/2006 09:15 pm God! I don't think I've read anything funnier than the synopsis Joyce gave to the story! Brilliant! I'm really enjoying this so much. Looking foward to more. Kathleen Thank you...I do love joyce!   jl1980 Chapter 9 03/24/2006 09:03 pm hm....that's weird...this story really makes me think to keep up with it, all the twists and all are fascinating...slightly hurt my brain, though... *pouts*...but absolutely love your story!!! ooooh no...can't hurt jl's brain she needs it for her stories...um i'll try to make it less complicated...nah suffer you made me cry! Thanks sweetie I appreciate it   deedo Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:51 pm uh oh.... someone is in trouble, big time I can just see the "attentions" Angel wil get from the Summerswomen for ... well being him and it wouldn't be parent/teacher night without Joyce and her axe great chapter, as always *skips off to catch up on penny* the axe is good! lol   Irina Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:45 pm Great dialogue in this chapter. I like how Joyce summed things up, and how easily she's is coping with the situation. I love that this chapter had both Buffy's ending up angry with Angel. Can't wait to find out where things go from here. Fantastic update! thanks so much...to tell you the truth...i can't wait either! lol   Kat Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:43 pm Oh i really really hate angel. what a MORON. I meen really what kind of an idiot is he. I am still a bit confused. I meen i know that older buffy is getting 'visions' of the new way of things but is she getting to keep her old memories as well? I dont know I am a bit confused Then I'll try to clear up the confusion.   redwulf50 Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:38 pm “Angel, he just took credit for taking out the annoying one.” And this suprises you, why?? rofl...ha bloody ha!   Yzba Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:37 pm I love Joyce reaction...Man, that speech is great!!! Once again, I bow to your genius! Thank you...genius huh???   maryperk Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:34 pm Great chapter, Love how the older buffy is getting instant memories of what's happening with younger buffy. LOL thanks MP...its the bunny's idea!   Shadow Chapter 9 03/24/2006 08:27 pm Nice! I loved this chapter. But one question... CAN I DUST ANGEL!?!? Please? *begs* lol...that means I have to bring you in as a character sweetie! lol   Verda Chapter 8. 07/15/2006 02:03 am Still confued about the Dawn time line, but with Back to the future stuff just glad that she's there. Lovi' the Summers family reunion with Spike and where does Angel get off, ego much. Great chapter. explanations will come...they just may take some time   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 8. 07/14/2006 08:17 pm ew. pedophile much. I always thought so   Fred Chapter 8. 05/11/2006 03:01 am The ramblings of an insane man er vampire! he is rather!   Delicia Chapter 8. 05/08/2006 02:53 pm Joyce welcoming Spike was so sweet as well as the reunion of the girls and their mom! Angel is so self-centered to think it's all about him. It really isn't. Angel is Angel   Cassie Chapter 8. 04/14/2006 02:42 am Great read Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 8. 04/11/2006 02:01 am Ewwwwwww, freaking pedophile! Rofl...and you're surprised???   Nikkole Chapter 8. 04/02/2006 10:42 am Typical Angel, always the big brooding idiot who thinks the world should bow down and thank him for being said idiot. I get so sick of him, and you write him so well! Great chapter! thank you...Angel is easy to write! lol   Oracleholly Chapter 8. 03/29/2006 07:15 pm Touching "family" reunion with Joyce, Spike & Dawnie. GRRRR Angel... oh how I hate him, let me count the ways... I'm thinking of taking a poll for suggestions on how to kill or maim him! LOL   sirc Chapter 8. 03/25/2006 02:42 pm Angel was ONLY 29, 14 years is such a tiny age difference. What could *possibly* be there for Joyce to be worried about? *snerk* Great chapter lol...I know...and when you add on his vampiric age???   lilmamaday Chapter 8. 03/25/2006 07:58 am God Angel is such a putz! He really thinks that it would be ok for a 29 yr old man to mess with a 15/16 yr old? He is insane! I hope that he gets what is coming to him! Loved the reunion between the Summers women and Spike! How much longer can they keep the younger slayer out of the mix? um...for as long as I want! heehee People keep complaining about the age difference of 29 to 15, but nobody has mentioned 241 to 15...just an observation! LOL Thanks for the review   Penmommy Chapter 8. 03/24/2006 06:15 pm More please! soon...I promise!   Athenewolfe Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 01:41 pm AHHHHHHHH ewww pedophile... icky angel ... icky angel ! rofl!   vampkiss Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 12:54 pm Great story so far. Looking forward to reading more. thak you so much   pfeifferpack Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 10:46 am ....:::::snort:::::.....only twenty-nine!!! LOL too funny! Good update. Nice to have Dawn along for the ride this way. Hum now how to deal with the TWO Buffy's? I trust you have a fine plan for dealing with this part of the paradox. Kathleen Glad someone trust me! lol   Bridget Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 07:49 am Good chapter. It is amazing how delusional Angel is in this story. It is almost funny. Angel is Angel!   PyroChilde Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 05:55 am Angel's arrogance always astounds me. Oh, and ONLY 29 huh? lol What a dope he is. Great chapter! rofl...I liked it! thanks heaps   Harry 4eyes Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 02:20 am Not that much older when turned only 29? LMAO if he were human he'd be on Jerry Springer or the slightly more acceptable shows, 'Mr 16 year old daughter dating an older man' 13 years is allot when only 16, apparently not as much when 18...And as for why Joyce doesn't like Angel? it's called mother intuition, they can smell the bad one's I tell you. Plus he acts his bloody age, so like a 240+ year old, with his brooding an all. Where Spike on the other hand talks to Joyce like a human being, acts like a kid at times so she feels the urge to mother him even if he is old enough to be her Great great grandad. The Summers unite!!! Brilliant, now i'm still confused about the Dawn time paradox situation. Also how did she end up back to the future? she didn't exist in the time line so if the ray hit her she would go back to being the green glob of keyness unless her DNA got transported with her and merged with the Key and she became human...or something like that it's all very confusing yet very interesting, like Time travel stories often are. Can't wait for Young Buffy meets Spike and Big Buffy, wonder if Buffy will be jeolous of herself? big Buffy at Young Buffy for flirting and drooling all over him and young Buffy when Big Buffy is all posessive around him. Could be interesting, specially as both could claim as it being their Spike because his mind is of the older Spike but the body belongs to the season 2 Spike....lol well Still loving it Update soon Harry many many questions to answer...I wonder how I'll go? Wish me luck! Thanks Harry, it's always a pleasure to see a review from you!   akarinacj Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 01:47 am Love this story. More please.!!! LOL it's coming   Robyn Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 01:39 am You did a fantastic job on your characterization of Angel, he did always think that he was always right, he knew best, and that everyone should approve of his relationship with Buffy because they were soulmates. And Joyce recognizing Spike as one of her own, Joyce, Dawn, Buffy, and Spike that moment was so sweet. Thanks for the great update. You are so welcome, I'm glad you are enjoying it.   Richard Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 12:08 am And a womanizing drunkard at 29. Wow, he's so damned narcissistic it's no wonder he sends out bad vibes to all and sundry. but...he's angel!   gaillee Chapter 8. 03/23/2006 12:01 am You're story is still going strong. Gads...does Angel ever get it? Thanks for fine updates. you are welcome   Tamara Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 10:51 pm Joyce meets Spike. She always had ggod taste in vampires. And the appearance of older Dawn. She should be helpful against Angel. The power of Spike. One dream about him and Angels forgotten. Angel's self absorption and delusions-always funny. Thanks, I'm glad you decide to read it!   Karyn Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 10:46 pm poor delusional Angel...lol someone needs to give him a clue...hopefully in the form of a nice big stake! Thanks Karyn, a stake it good!   kim Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 10:14 pm "Only twenty-nine" Yeah, Angel, and she's 16!!! As in so not legal yet! If it's "true love", then wait until she's 18 for the big relationship crap. Sigh... How cool is that, that little Buffy had a dream about Spike, and she wants to have it again?! LOL...and Willow amazed that it was better than chocolate...so innocent. Dawn must have been so confused and scared, if she didn't meant to end up here. Once all the hugging and stuff has commenced, I'm sure she's going to get a stern talking to over why she's there. Can't wait for the explanation. who says's Dawns fault! lol   vladt Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 09:47 pm wonderful update, moving along, well and including a delusional angel. delusional angel, is that redudant? thanks for the fun read. You're welcome and thanks for your response.   MarzBar Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 09:43 pm ARGH! YUCK! Angelus and his "beautiful relationship" with a virgin child. More story please. ROFL...soon!   Irina Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 09:38 pm The Summers family reunion was so sweet. You did a great job with the glimpse into Angel's perverted head. The Angel bashing is so much fun... I just love laughing at Angel's expense. Wonderful update! Thank you I appreciate your response.   TammyDevil666 Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 09:38 pm Oh my god, is this guy for real? What the hell has he been smoking to believe that crap? Angel always was an idiot. Yeah, only 29-years-old. Hello, that would still be wrong. She's only 16. Can I smack him? Okay, just had to get that out. Spike is so the better choice, but we all know that. I'm still confused by the whole Dawn thing, but I trust that it will all be explained soon enough. I liked the moment between Joyce and Spike. Good chapter=) Thank you...yes you can smack him!   Max Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 09:29 pm I love Joyce's character - especially when she's knocked Angel down a couple much-needed notches. I really hate Angel in this - how is a 29 year old and "not much older" than a 16 year old? Ew. Thank you...if you hate Angel...then I'm doing my job.   Kat Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 09:08 pm Oh god Angel is a complete MORON. lol and you hit him right on. Oh goodness dawnie, buffy, and spike. AWWWWWWWWWWW That is sooooooooooooooooooo sweet. This story is addictive Thank you so much...you've made my day!   slinkypsychokit Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 08:36 pm Gorgeous reunion scene, Jack! Just...gorgeous! But the true treasure of this chapter was that hair gel-wielding, walking, talking, BROODING pile of superiority and self-righteousness! Freaking hysterical! Oh, my, I do love your Angel bashing! More, soonish please? I do like to please!   deedo Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 08:33 pm i stayed up all night for the new chapter, and as always it was so worth it!! I loved the reunion of the Summers-family *wipes away a few tears* and omg Angel is such a dumb perv *shudder* with his i-know-whats-best-for-all-of-you-attitude, i hope both buffys will teach him a few things about that can't wait for you to continue ^__^ Thank you...it is coming!   SpaceLord Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 08:31 pm Well love the meting with Joyce but the best part was Angels train of thought......"I always know what's best" is just hilarious. Can't wait for the next chapter thank you so much!   Shadow Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 08:24 pm hmmm 29 to her 16? obviously the pedophile cant count. And the meeting of Buffy, Dawn and past-Joyce... spectacular... made me all weepy. MORE! Thank you...I like to see tears! lol...'cause I'm, you know...evil!   jl1980 Chapter 8. 03/22/2006 08:21 pm still sick, angel...still sick, you disgusting perv.... love this story, jack...you are so awesome... you brought me to tears with everyone's reactions to joyce, first spike, then dawn and buffy...beautifully done Thank you...just returning the favour for all the tears you've made me shed!   Verda Chapter 7 07/15/2006 01:47 am Good for Joyce, getting spooked by Angel's presence and she's willing to help the daughter that she never got to know. The Dawn memories, where did they come from? She's not from this time line, another then that, awesome chapter for a awesome story. All will be explained   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 7 07/14/2006 08:03 pm oh noooo dawn... This could be a good thing...maybe?   Vwalk Chapter 7 05/30/2006 09:55 pm I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Joyce's instant hatred of Angel. I hated him instantly too! lol   Fred Chapter 7 05/11/2006 02:54 am I am so glad you brought Dawn into it Thank you   Delicia Chapter 7 05/08/2006 02:45 pm I'm glad Joyce took it so well! Nice twist with Dawn, I like that! Joyce was an amazing character   Joyce Chapter 7 04/27/2006 05:18 pm Now I'm confused. How do you place Dawn in this timeline? That last italicized bit is a sticky wicket. Are the monks there as well? Guess you'll have to keep reading to find out! LOL   Cassie Chapter 7 04/14/2006 02:41 am Okay, um Dawn? All will be explained.   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 7 04/11/2006 01:44 am What the heck is up with Dawn and why does she have to be there??? You'll see (Jack sings)   Nikkole Chapter 7 04/02/2006 10:34 am HMMMMMM, so Dawn is having memory changes also? Or is this in the newly changed future? all dawn questions will be addressed later in the story!   Oracleholly Chapter 7 03/29/2006 07:14 pm Wonderful reintroduction of Dawn -- and hey, now Dawn is the 15 yr old!!! This is so interesting how you've done this. Looking forward to finding out how this came about. Me too?...Ah the problems with a paradox!   sirc Chapter 7 03/25/2006 02:35 pm great chapter thank you   MarzBar Chapter 7 03/21/2006 11:14 pm Nice claim by the Slayer for a protector of her family. Now, can they continue to hide out from younger Buffy? WTF is up with Dawn in this scenario? LOL...You'll see!...but the bunny made me do it!   pfeifferpack Chapter 7 03/21/2006 05:16 pm Gack! What the frilly heck happened to bring this about! Spike with Dru and no chip?????? Update please. (BTW, nice chapter). Kathleen Thank you...lol...it will be explained   vladt Chapter 7 03/21/2006 01:51 pm great addition, love the update. thanks thanks...really glad to hear you're enjoying it.   Harry 4Eyes Chapter 7 03/21/2006 10:52 am Hmmm...well that's a paradox, What would happen when a mystical key turned human/slayer sister gets thrown back to a time when she was not yet created and introduces herself to her family. Would the Monks still create her because then there would be two keys and increase the chance of Glory finding out, So would the Monks create someone else to play the key and if they do that would that mean that Dawn would cease to exist because she was never created in the first place, but if she ceases to exist does that mean that there would be no Dawns so the Monks could create her without dupicating her? Did that make any sense, time travel confuses me, but not as much as it does others, I am still trying to explain the time travel bit in Harry Potter 3 to my sister. Another great fic you got here mate Update soon. Harry Hence the title Paradox! lol...lots to think about! )   Jace Nox Chapter 7 03/21/2006 10:13 am *head desk* great dawn trauma time *looks up and smiles widely* can't wait!! LOL...blame the bunny!   Karyn Chapter 7 03/21/2006 10:02 am ahhh! lol, Dawnie's here with memories intact?...wow! It's gonna make things interesting! It really is the bunny's fault   lilmamaday Chapter 7 03/21/2006 09:13 am Did Dawn get sent back in time too? This story just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see what happens next! The wait won't be too long!   Robyn Chapter 7 03/21/2006 03:35 am What a fantastic twist. Dawn here and only a year younger, won't she be surprised when she meets Spike. Thanks for the great update. You're welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying it   SpaceLord Chapter 7 03/21/2006 02:43 am Ohh throw in Dawn....this should be good. LOL...I hope so! The bunny did it!   kim Chapter 7 03/21/2006 02:02 am She followed Buffy back in time? Oh, Dawnie, what did you do? Or is it a side-effect of how she was made, that she ends up 'following' Buffy to where she can be protected? *snickers* guess you'll just have to wait and see!   Kat Chapter 7 03/21/2006 01:48 am Oh dear I kinda hope that something happens before older buffy loses all her memories because that would be hard to handle. She needs to somehow connect with her younger self or something or she her mind, and mine, are going to be permently confused lol...it will get easier...I hope!   Athenewolfe Chapter 7 03/21/2006 01:40 am awesome! I LOVE this chapter - I actually kinda like dawn so it makes me happy to see her here. *grin* awesome sweetie! thank you...I like to mix things up a bit!   TammyDevil666 Chapter 7 03/20/2006 11:59 pm Okay, really confused now. It doesn't take much for that to happen. How is the older Dawn there, too? I have a feeling this is just gonna complicate things even more. My head hurts trying to figure this fiction out...lol! That probably means you're doing a good job. More please! It will be explained! lol   slinkypsychokit Chapter 7 03/20/2006 11:58 pm Bha-ha-ha...and the plot thickens! Oh, I do like your fics. Wonderful update, dahling! thank you   Tamara Chapter 7 03/20/2006 11:50 pm Dawn got flip flopped in time. This is a wierd development. I wonder how her school will take the growth spurt and shrinkage. ah!...well alwill be explained!   Irina Chapter 7 03/20/2006 11:39 pm Fantastic twist at the end of the chapter! Love the way the story is progressing. Wonderful update! Thank you...I'll try to keep it up!   Shadow Chapter 7 03/20/2006 10:18 pm *grin* KILL SNYDER! *snicker* LOVE IT! lol...I always wanted to...but you just can't beat him being eaten by a big snake!   Verda Chapter 6. 07/15/2006 01:36 am This is fantastic, first future Buffy claims Spike and now present Buffy's dreaming of him. That's the best,just love it. Great chapter. Thank you so much   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 6. 07/14/2006 07:59 pm and this is a bad thing? lol consequences   VWalk Chapter 6. 05/30/2006 09:51 pm I love 'evil' souled Angel. Can't wait for his come uppance. loving the story see I knew you'd find someone more deserving to hate !   Fred Chapter 6. 05/11/2006 02:47 am Yum! LOL...I have to agree Me too   Delicia Chapter 6. 05/08/2006 02:40 pm Cool claim! Angel head needs to be deflated before it flies off like a balloon! I vote for Spike to do it! Oh trust me when I say wait for it! lol   Cassie Chapter 6. 04/14/2006 02:40 am lol...yum Have to agree there!   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 6. 04/11/2006 01:31 am Death to Angel! And EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! at the claimy thing! Still have to make with the bitey goodness!   Athenewolfe Chapter 6. 04/08/2006 09:59 pm LMAO - really fab chapter update sweetie! I love angel's assumption at the dusting and his reaction shows what a jerk he really was/is! I've always thought so   Oracleholly Chapter 6. 03/29/2006 07:13 pm oooo Buffy claimed Spike for all the Summers women!!! this sounds so promising. That was the bunny's fault!   Onyx Chapter 6. 03/28/2006 12:40 am ---Angel’s deeply put upon sigh echoed through the night.--- Wow, lol. In your universe Angel was the Original "Emo kid." LOL...thanks for the review   sirc Chapter 6. 03/25/2006 02:31 pm great chapter thank you   randi giles Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 10:59 am please excuse my cheesy review...That was just the coooolest ever...she claimed spike land for her very own...wonder if she'll have to defend her new territory lol...I'm thinking...nup not gonna tell!   Lou Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 06:41 am Oh-oh - this could get complicated. You have no idea...My head hurts just thinking about it...but it's the bunny's fault...he made me!   Robyn Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 02:54 am I loved this chapter. First Buffy, after a nice talk with herself, realizes the importance of Spike to her, then she corrects Spike of his misconception of failing her, and then she claims him. And best of all young Buffy dreams of him and his 'yummyness". This was just great. I'm am delighted you approve   Richard Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 02:25 am ROTFLMAO. And I was worried that this would be less interesting than Penny! that'll teach you...never underestimate the Jack! lol   Firebird234 Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 01:17 am Oops I made a spelling error I meant, I wonder if past Buffy will make a move on Spike. I love this story. LOL...it could still happen   Firebird234 Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 01:09 am Mmmmm Spuffy noo Spike mmmmmmmmm *starts drooling* huh oh haha. I love this story can't wait for the next chapter. I Wonder if past Buffy will make a move in Spike. lol...it could happen!   Kat Chapter 6. 03/20/2006 12:52 am That was an amazing chapter. YAY buffy got a clue she's getting there   Tamara Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 10:25 pm Looks like older Buffy is making some progress in figuring things out. Anf her claiming Spike even though she didn't mean a mating claim may speed up an understanding of things for Younger Buffy . Here's hoping Dru's ire really gets let loose on him, not to mention his intended deception where the Anointed One is concerned come back to bite him in the ass. We can hope   Jace Nox Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 08:49 pm Oh oh oh *squees* I can't wait to read more! Yay!! I do love your enthusiasm!   neo_trinityknot Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 07:32 pm yum indeed lol   vladt Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 07:21 pm great update, to quote young buffy "yum." love to see angel act just like himself, an ass. thanks for the fun read. Thanks...I appreciate it   Bridget Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 07:09 pm Great chapter. As usual Angel is shown to be his usual self centered self. I am glad that Buffy claimed Spike. Nicely done. Buffy's thinking was really funny. Update soon. Thank you...I've always though Buffy's thought process would be amusing! lol   redwulf50 Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 05:37 pm exceleent chapter and the next one is where??? lol...I'm writing doofus!   gaillee Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 05:32 pm Still loving this tale. Thanks so much for the frequent updates. I'll try to keep them up! Thank you   Irina Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 04:58 pm So many things going on in this chapter and I loved them all! I can't wait to find out what the consquences will be to the claiming. Excellent chapter! Neither can I!   akarinacj Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 04:51 pm This is getting better and better. Can´t wait to see what happens next.!!!! thank you, you are very kind   PyroChilde Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 04:32 pm Interesting chapter. The whole claiming thing was kewl. I've never seen it done like that before. Ah...but she's only started the claim. True mating claim will maybe come later   Karyn Chapter 6. 03/19/2006 04:29 pm Yum indeed! ohhh she claimed him...look at action!Buffy...go girl go! Yes...but the repercussions! lol   Verda Chapter 5. 07/15/2006 01:26 am That has to be so hard on Giles knowing what his slayer has been through. Yup, Joyce should help, but that too will be hard on Buffy. Good that she heard them talking and now she knows exactly how he feels. Another amazing chapter. Thank you, you are making me all kinds of happy with your reviews   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 5. 07/14/2006 07:55 pm Oh thank you Giles for being nice to Spike This Giles hasn't been distroyed by Angeus   Fred Chapter 5. 05/11/2006 02:40 am She heard him? I wonder if she 'heard' him? Maybe...guess you'll just have to kep reading to find out   Delicia Chapter 5. 05/08/2006 02:30 pm I think telling Joyce is a wonderful idea, it could only help, in my opinion. I fee so bad for Spike, he just wants to be accepted! I accept him...but I don't count!   Isabel Chapter 5. 04/30/2006 04:49 pm Wow, I loved Spike speech to Giles at the end of the chapter. Put tears in my eyes. Sorry, I just started reading this story. It's really good so far. I love Penny for your thoughts so much that I needed to read more of your work. You're a very good writer. Thank you so much...you just made my day   Cassie Chapter 5. 04/14/2006 02:40 am Giles is nice in this I always thought he could be!   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 5. 04/11/2006 01:23 am Ohhhhhhhh *pounces spike and hugs him hard* LOL...hugs are good!   Nikkole Chapter 5. 04/02/2006 09:45 am Very nice. I have to say, that last part between Spike and Giles was very heart breaking. blame Wulfie...he wanted angst!   Oracleholly Chapter 5. 03/29/2006 07:12 pm Lovely chapter... Thank you sweetie   Jade Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 05:37 pm First, I have to say that I love all your stories. I'm more prone to lurk, but I do enjoy reading your stuff. I love how you bring up points that aren't often brought up and I like how you deal with them. One thing that does kind of bother me, though--and granted, I've never actually watched the show, so all I know is what I read or what friends describe to me--is that Buffy and the Scoobies never really get the blame for anything. But in the second to last paragraph, even Spike didn't blame them for their actions. While placing all the blame solely on Angelus is a very nice thought and one I'd very much like to agree with, *he* didn't force them to treat Spike the way they did. He didn't tell them to treat Spike like garbage and basically kick him around and all. They chose to act that way on their own. They chose not to see past what Angelus did and look at Spike as a completely different individual and it's even more sad that Spike apparently shares those thoughts. Anyway, I look forward to the next updates and though I might not respond, I am always reading and loving how the storylines play out. Keep up the splendid work. Thank you...I too believe that the scoobies need to be held responsible for their actions...I try to get some of it across...but it takes time...Thank you for your kind words.   Bridget Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 12:46 pm Great chapter. I am glad that Giles will tell Joyce about Buffy. The last paragraphs were really great. I am glad that for once someone asked Spike how he was and that he actually told them how he felt. I hope things will be different for Spike now. so do I Bridget, so do I!   Robyn Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 10:49 am Wow, what a wonderful chapter. I loved how Giles noticed Spike, not just realized that he was there, but saw how much he wanted to help Buffy. And telling Joyce, I never really understood why they didn't want her to know. And Spike's explanation of where he's at was brutal but beautiful. And the fact that Buffy seems to have overheard was perfect. Thank you...I appreciate your words   PyroChilde Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 10:45 am Poor Spike!!! Well they've already completely screwed up the timeline, lol. Maybe Buffy's easedropping will help her see what a bitca she and all the scoobies have been to Spike. we can live in hope!   Athenewolfe Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 07:34 am excellant chapter sweetie! You are too kind!...but I'm really glad about that   lilmamaday Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 06:33 am Ok, now we know that Buffy was listening but will she actually accept what she heard and deal with it or just do her usuall deny, deny, deny? I am glad that Spike got some of his feelings out and that someone actually listened to him! I can't wait to see what happens next! egypt is really nice place to go swimming! lol   sirc Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 03:48 am great chapter thank you   akarinacj Chapter 5. 03/18/2006 02:55 am Great chapter, and very promising history. I hope you update soon. I´m glad Buffy heard what Spike said. Let´s see how she reacts. Please update soon. I'm still wondering about that reaction myself! lol   Lynda Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 11:34 pm Fantastic chapter. I really like how you made Giles' transformation. Was it a transformation? Or was the Giles we saw just a man damaged by trusting the wrong people?   Max Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 11:23 pm I'm glad Buffy overheard all that - I want Spike to stay in the past too, he'd not only get the gem but would be able to live his worst years over again and be able to forget all the humiliations he's suffered. Spike staying would have a profound effect on everyone.   Angela Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 10:58 pm I really liked how you've written Spike's character here - You did a very nice job of portraying his mentality on how he's changing despite the Scoobies discouragement. Good job on pointing out how much psychological damage Angel has done to all the Scoobies, especially Buffy. After hearing that conversation I hope Buffy finally wakes up and see the truth about Spike and her "oh so perfect soulmate" Angel (the damn pedophile "fell in love" with her when she was FIFTEEN). Buffy was young, naive, and innocent before Angel came along and basically ruined her emotionally. I've been privy to the best and worst humanity has to offer and I don't buy the whole "Angel vs. Angelus" thing for a minute - becoming a vampire just released the darkness that was already in Liam. Hell, he did more damage to her while he was souled than he ever did when he wasn't. Ask yourself this, Darla, Dru, and Spike massacred dozens of those gypsies but no gypsies or curses after them - so, what do you think Angelus did to that young FEMALE before he killed her to warrant them cursing him like they did, considering she was just a year or two younger than Buffy when he "fell in love" with her. I HATED how abominably she treated Spike in S6 onward, what was worse was that Whedon portrayed that blatent mental and physical abuse as perfectly okay but was quick to condemn Spike for every little thing he did up to the "attempted rape" in the bathroom scene (I have it in quotes because I majored in psychology and am now working in that field, yes it was horrible what happened to Buffy, but nowhere near how bad it would have been if he had really been trying to rape her. Real rapists don't stop when the woman fights back, they get off on that very thing and then try that much harder; nor do rapists run off horrified with themselves when they realize the woman is unwilling and then go halfway across the planet to endure literal torture to ensure that they never hurt that person again. There is a HUGE difference a real-life rapist and a lovesick vampire who's inevitably snapped after YEARS of mental and physical use and abuse and continued the pre-established behavioral pattern of "No" meaning "Yes," not immediately realizing that Buffy was not just "play-fighing" like she had been doing for the months before-hand. Those types of relationships are extremely dangerous for that very reason.) It really pissed me off how everyone immediately forgave and forgot when Xander tried to really rape Buffy while he was merely influenced by something that brought out his pre-existing darker side. Xander, with his soul, despite Buffy's clear unwillingness, would have raped her had she not been physically able to successfully fight him off and render him unconscious - but it was all okay because Xander didn't have complete control of himself and claimed he did not remember what he did. Last time I checked, people who are drunk of under the influence of drugs are still held accountably for their actions. If anyone's wondering why I wrote all this - I had a VERY disturbing conversation earlier this week while watching old DVD episodes with someone who didn't know I didn't want to watch one of the many scenes in which blatent domestic abuse was portayed as alright behavior. I actually had to explain why I was against the beating of a defenseless person regardless of who or what they are. You'd be suprised how many people don't see all of these things on the show for what they really are because it was portayed as perfectly fine and normal on the show. Scary thought, isn't it? I would love to have a LONG conversation with Whedon about some of the stuff on his shows. I find myself almost speechless...almost! I have to say I agree wholeheartedly with this, the way Xander was allowed to comment on Spikes behaviour, despite his own and the fact that with a soul spike was not automatically 'forgiven' for all his actions pre-soul, a soul I might add he fought for rather than was cursed with while Angel was forgiven for Jenny's murder have always been sore points for me.   kim Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 10:34 pm Ho, ho! She heard the conversation, or at least the last part...maybe now she'll get what Spike's been trying to show her for so long? That she's being totally unreasonable toward him most of the time? She trusted him with Dawn, and before the fight with Glory. It's just ridiculous that she's treating him like scum after a kiss or two, that SHE willingly initiated/participated in. This Giles is great so far! Jenny's loss affected Giles in more than just one way.   TammyDevil666 Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 09:32 pm Good, I hope she heard all of that. Buffy needs to know what she and all of her friends are doing to him when he's only trying to help. I'm glad he opened up to Giles. I like the older days better, they all had more trust back then. Stupid Angelus. Anyway, I'm liking this story. I'm interested to see how things would go with Joyce. More please=) Joyce is one of my favorite characters!... She always hated Angel.   vladt Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 08:59 pm very, very well done. spike actually verbalizing his feeling to giles is amazing. love "the click of buffy's door...." thanks for the enjoyable read. You're welcome...wonder what whill happen next?   Irina Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 08:52 pm I'm glad that Spike decided to open up to Giles, looks like the beginning of a interesting friendship. I love that nosey Buffy heard their conversation, can't wait to find where things go from here. Wonderful chapter! Looks like...Can't really blame Buffy though..I wouldn't have wanted to interupt either.   Karyn Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 08:46 pm ohhh, very nice jack! that's what you get for listening into other peoples conversations...hearing things you might not want to...lol But what will she do with what she heard?   redwulf50 Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 08:39 pm LOL, I'm lovin this fic thanks Wulfie...you the bestest   jl1980 Chapter 5. 03/17/2006 08:07 pm that last part broke my heart there...so glad giles is being understanding...and buffy overhearing that i'm sure will be of the good...great update!!! Blame Wulfie...he wanted angst! lol... Thank you   Verda Chapter 4. 07/15/2006 01:22 am Oh yes please! let's show her what a lying manipuative bastard he is, yes let's do that! The Gem of Amara's treasure would be all the money they need for a very long time. Great chapter. The treasure of Amara will come in handy to them all   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 4. 07/14/2006 07:53 pm take the angel blinders offa her It's gonna take some time   Fred Chapter 4. 05/11/2006 02:35 am I hope Spike's plan works So do I   Delicia Chapter 4. 05/08/2006 02:14 pm Yay! Hopefully Angelus wouldn't even be set free! Were's the fun in that???   Cassie Chapter 4. 04/14/2006 02:39 am great read Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 4. 04/11/2006 01:12 am Dust Angel now, lol but then I can't bash him!   Athenewolfe Chapter 4. 04/08/2006 09:57 pm Just realiazed I never left a review for this chapter. Very excellant - I love the discussion about angel and the gem. Very good update sweetie! Thank you...you have been busy! LOL   Oracleholly Chapter 4. 03/29/2006 03:33 pm I love Giles in this... so great to have him reacting with Spike without the baggage of Angelus post Jenny killage of S2 I agree, pre angelus Giles was for more agreeable   Bridget Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 11:23 am Good chapter. I was never a fan of Angel I never thought he helped Buffy that much. He only helped when it suited his purposes. Maybe Buffy will actually see the real Angel this time. Although she is somewhat dense when it comes to Angel. Guess you'll have to keep reading to find out! lol   romero Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 10:43 am Thanks for the great update. you're welcome   sirc Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 06:06 am great chapter thank you   Irina Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 05:58 am I like how you're portraying Giles in the story, really loving you're portrayal Spike as well. Looks like Spike has a plan... can't wait to find out what it is. Great chapter! Truth be told...neither can I!   PyroChilde Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 05:42 am Yeah, that would be a very good thing. Show Buffy that Angel isn't as wonderful as he wants her to think. We can live in hope!   gaillee Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 03:08 am Thanks for another intriguing update. At least Buffy seems to be willing to consider some Spike ideas...Hopefully, Spike is right and Angel will be shown up. Not telling!   MarzBar Chapter 4. 03/16/2006 01:34 am Hmmmm. Are they going to actively try to change the timeline now? It will be hard without the whole Angelus to ever convince Buffy that Angel contains Angelus all the time. More story please. Guess you'll just have to wait and see...it's coming! lol   Robyn Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 11:49 pm Another great chapter, I like how you show how different Giles is in his acceptance of Spike because he has not had to deal with Angelus yet. And how true yet irritating it is that Buffy from either time still won’t accept the duplicity that is Angel. ‘Angel must be good because he offers to try to help and he has a soul, but Spike is evil no matter how much he tries to do good or how hard he fights for it beside her because he has no soul.’ It’s something that has always been bothersome, actions don’t count to Buffy, only the soul vs. no soul theory. I hope her eyes get truly opened soon. Of course with Buffy it might take a couple of punches to *her* nose for that to happen. Maybe Young Buffy will be a different story...she hasn't fallen in love with Angel yet! ...Maybe...but then maybe not   jamie Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 11:01 pm Yah, let her see, please. Great update today Thank-you...and maybe!   redwulf50 Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 09:41 pm and Buffy would see him for the manipulative lying bastard that he was. OPlease Buffy wouldn't believe that truth if she actualy saw Angel feeding from her own mother. The girl is a complete moron Great chappie Guess we'll just have to wait and see! lol   Karyn Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 09:23 pm great chapter! ohhh angel acting weird...when didn't that happen?..lol lol...agreed!   Tamara Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 08:49 pm Time travel stories really give us a good view of how secretive and manipulative Angel could be. Getting Giles in on thier situation really gives them an edge when it comes to derailing the Angel/Buffy disaster.Not to mention the body count that came with it. Oh and small typo, it should be tomes not tombs. bless you...that word was bugging me and I couldn't work out why! lol   lilmamaday Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 08:34 pm Great update! It's nice to see that Giles isn't just all "vampires without souls bad and vampires with souls good"! This may bode well for future Spuffiness! Lucky Spike was sent to a time before Angelus came into play! lol   redwulf50 Chapter 4. 03/15/2006 08:29 pm and Buffy would see him for the manipulative lying bastard that he was. OPlease Buffy wouldn't believe that truth if she actualy saw Angel feeding from her own mother. The girl is a complete moron Great chappie lol...wulfie I hope you are wrong...but I fear...!   Verda Chapter 3. 07/15/2006 01:17 am At least she know's in her heart what he feels for her even if he doesn't want to admit it. Yay, they have to be so darn careful not to do anything that will hurt the people that they love. Already lovin' this story. Thank you, I hope you continue to enjoy   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 3. 07/14/2006 07:47 pm stop being a butt buffy Give her a bit of a break, she's been ripped out of heaven then tossed back in time   Vwalk Chapter 3. 05/30/2006 09:38 pm You do the angst very well. Already I'm almost hating the closed minded bitchy buffy. Give her time...she's not the one I want you to hate   Fred Chapter 3. 05/11/2006 02:29 am Excellent chapter Thank you so much   Delicia Chapter 3. 05/08/2006 02:09 pm Ooh, smart Spike!! Wonderful plan. Great chapter! NEXT... I do like smart Spike   Cassie Chapter 3. 04/14/2006 02:39 am getting interesting it gets better!   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 3. 04/11/2006 01:04 am Awwww, stop being mean to my spikey! Blame wulfie...I always do!   Oracleholly Chapter 3. 03/29/2006 03:28 pm great chapter thanks sweetie   lilmamaday Chapter 3. 03/15/2006 11:32 am Sounds like Buffy down to a tee! Knowing but not admitting! I can't wait to see what happens now that the timeline has been changed! it's gonna be an interesting ride! lol   gaillee Chapter 3. 03/15/2006 10:24 am Another fine tale to watch develop. How do you do it? Thank you. I have no idea...lol and you're welcome   Nikkole Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 11:27 pm Sometime Buffy can be such a dumbass! If she would have voiced her own feelings and opinions in the first place, she never would have been walked all over! Very good writing, and I can't wait for more!!! thank you...buffy seriously need to change!   Carol Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 06:47 pm Wow, you are shaping up to be one of my favorite authors! This is going great. I'd like to slap Buffy, but then again I wanted to slap her during all of Season 6. I love how you write Spike. thank you so much...you have made my day!   jamie Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 06:08 pm great update, Buffy still a bitca though aint she, heres hoping shes gunna wake up to Angel and herself before to long. oh and this is shaping up to be as good as your last fic Thank you for your kind words...sad but yes, buffy does need to wake up!   vladt Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 05:55 pm great update. love the look at what passes for a thought process in buffy's mind. will buffy ever figure it out: that angel will always be the same. matters not if living, vampire or vampire with a crammed in soul. thanks for the great read Time will tell my friend...time will tell!   Karyn Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 04:54 pm awww, poor spike, grrr at buffy! yes..I've often wanted to grrr at Buffy! lol   Robyn Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 04:53 pm Thanks for the update. I like Spike's plan, it is actually the perfect solution for their current as well as future money probles, and a good way of keeping the gem safe, as it would have really come in handy in the fight against Glory, I always thought that it was stupid how they got rid of it. Your way makes much more sense. Please update soon. thank you, guess Spike isn't just a pretty face! lol   sara Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 04:33 pm she's an idiot! and wisdom is often repeated! lol   sara Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 04:31 pm she's an idiot! wiser words and all that!lol   kim Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 02:25 pm Stupid girl... He's being so wonderful...really trying, and not just to keep her well, but to not destroy the good of the future, either. It's good that you mentioned him thinking of Dawn and Tara. It's not all about Buffy. it is to Buffy! lol   MarzBar Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 01:55 pm I'm glad Spike thought of all the treasure they could use. It seems to me that if Buffy can cope on some Valley Girl level about the time shift, she should be able to cope with the real Spike and her faulty programming. More story please. lol...it's coming...I promise!   jl1980 Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 12:03 pm mean, evil awful Buffy!!!! grrr!! she is making me so mad, poor spike, he's trying so hard to help and all she can do is treat him like crap!!!! great story btw, i just seem to be on a rampage against b****y buffy lately!!! lol but i really do love your story!!! *hugs* if we all wish together...maybe we can fix her! lol Thankyou you flatter me!   PyroChilde Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 10:23 am Aww, this is so sad. Poor Spike. He's trying so hard and he just never gets a break does he. Hopefully talking to the Giles of this time will help since he hasn't been jaded by the effects of Angelus' return. You must blame wulfie...he wanted angst!...poor Spikey   sirc Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 09:42 am great chapter thankx heeps   Irina Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 08:15 am Loved Spike's idea to sell the Amara treasure. I always knew Spike was more than just a pretty face and a hot, tight, little bod... I like the way Spike is using his head in this fic. I also liked getting the glimpse into Buffy's head at the end of the chapter. Great update! Thank you...be prepared for many glimpses into her head! lol   Tamara Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 08:12 am looks like Buffy has yet to figure out that the problem with Angel wasn't his being a demon but with him being himself. Buffy has to figure out a lot of problems! lol   Athenewolfe Chapter 3. 03/14/2006 08:06 am I really liked it... Buffy doesn;t want to admit to anything... very nice! thank you...she has a way to go does our Buffy!   Verda Chapter 2. 07/15/2006 01:14 am I forgot that she still doesn't trust him yet, this is sometime after "Something Blue". Spike's still Love's Bitch now as much as ever. Great chapter. This was Buffy and Spike from season 6 after 'Once More with Feeling' going back to 'School Hard'.   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 2. 07/14/2006 07:18 pm bad buffy *shakes finger* *sigh* she can't help it at this point...sad, but true   Vwalk Chapter 2. 05/30/2006 09:34 pm I'm liking the story. I just hope Spike doesn't become Buffy's submissive punching bag. I don't do torture...not to Spike   Fred Chapter 2. 05/11/2006 02:24 am She really doesn't, does she? No, she doesn't   Delicia Chapter 2. 05/08/2006 02:05 pm Wonderful! Giles took that well! On to the next chapter! Giles is a different man in season two   Cassie Chapter 2. 04/14/2006 02:38 am Great read, thanks Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 2. 04/11/2006 12:40 am Ohhhh poor spikey! I know...   Oracleholly Chapter 2. 03/29/2006 02:57 pm interesting how the "first meeting" has already been altered in Buffy's mind. Very cool with the time paradox thing. Thank you...I'm getting a headache though!   sirc Chapter 2. 03/13/2006 12:28 pm great chapter thank you   PyroChilde Chapter 2. 03/13/2006 10:23 am Aww, poor Spike. Buffy really needs to wise up. It may take some time   Spikes Slayer2 Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 11:41 pm aww poor spike.. he's so torn.. oh well lol great take on the annoying one.. thankx   jeanie Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 09:41 pm she is incredibly selfish where spike is concerned. she needs a dose of empathy. good story, like a lot. She's post heaven Buffy what can I say! lol   Robyn Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 08:29 pm That last line is so true of most of the series. This was a really great chapter, I loved the action in it and the explanation of Spike’s of why his and Buffy’s memories of their first meeting are different. Spike is a whole lot smarter then the Scoobies ever gave him credit for. of course he was...lol   lilmamaday Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 06:04 pm I love how Spike understands what is going on and seems to care about what will happen to Buffy. If only she could realize that! The explanation for not staking Dru was a really valid reason and one that I hadn't thought of before. Great update! thanks...I appreciate it.   kim Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 04:54 pm That bitch! And after everything he did for Dawn before she died? He would never intentionally damage her like - not now that he loves her. Stupid, moronic, stick up the ass blonde... she does have some issues! lol   Irina Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 04:03 pm I like take charge Spike, he handled the minions and the Dru situation really well. Fantastic chapter! thank you..it's an act though! lol   redwulf50 Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 03:36 pm excellernt fic so far thanks wulfie   Athenewolfe Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 03:17 pm oh damn I love you I love you so much falls and worships ficcie! sweet!   Richard Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 03:15 pm Heh, interesting. Spike has an immediate means of checking the future results of any of his actions. He can meet with past Buffy and see the future Buffy becoming ever so slightly better disposed towards him. Neat. On the other hand, I wonder if any Paradox spirits are gonna come punish the trio. I also wonder why Buffy and Spike got treated differently by the inanimate time ray. All will be explained! lol ...I hope!   Spikez_tart Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 03:10 pm Separate beds? Giles is so lame. Looking forward to Dalton. I liked him. Great Spike explanation of why this past is different, adding up to making no sense whatsoever. LOL It's spike...he's pretty!   vladt Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 03:07 pm egocentric buffy is back. that will be helpful to spike. thanks for the fun read, sad but true,,,and you're welcome   jl1980 Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 02:44 pm oh how cruel!! bad buffy!! no concern about poor spike being left behind or missing him or whatever...just "you might mess things up for ME!" ggrrrr...can I smack her?? or can spike smack her? please? they could make up after!! she just *really* deserves it!!! lol great update by the way I want to smack her too! lol Wulfie wanted angst!   Karyn Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 02:40 pm awww, poor spike! Great update! I know...sucks doesn't it!   MarzBar Chapter 2. 03/12/2006 02:22 pm Yup, still with Blockhead Buffy here. More story please. welll she was just ripped out of heaven, and she has been relying on council teachings and angels word for a long time...give her time! lol   Verda Chapter 1 07/15/2006 01:09 am Now that I've finally gotten around to reading, this is going to be extremely interesting. the possibilities are endless, makes for one hell of a story. Now to sit back and enjoy it. Thank you so much, I hope I can live up to the expectations...the pressure is on now   DarkBloodyMistress Chapter 1 07/14/2006 07:17 pm oooo interesting... Thank you   Vwalk Chapter 1 05/30/2006 09:29 pm Good start. I usually don't like the angst-y stories but the challenge sounded so interesting I had to check it out. Great beginning. Thank you, but remember the challenge doesn't say who we have t be angst-y over   Fred Chapter 1 05/11/2006 02:18 am love it! Thank you   Delicia Chapter 1 05/08/2006 01:59 pm I'm late to the party! I just started this, but it's fantastic! *rushes off for more* Thank you so much...you just made my day   Cassie Chapter 1 04/14/2006 02:37 am Great read, thanks Thank you   Elizabeth Anne Summers Chapter 1 04/11/2006 12:30 am What the... why did he jump into his old body and not her?? It will all be explained...trust me!   Oracleholly Chapter 1 03/29/2006 02:35 pm Excellent beginning! So there are two Buffys but only one Spike Yup...but then it gets complicated! lol ;)   Athenewolfe Chapter 1 03/12/2006 03:15 pm Oh damn that was a wonderful fantastic chapter - I love time travel fics *squishes you* squishes back...you're welcome!   Spikez_tart Chapter 1 03/12/2006 03:05 pm Great Spikeness. Surely the word "wish" out to be banned on the hellmouth by now. you'd think! lol   Robyn Chapter 1 03/10/2006 11:18 pm Great chapter, great start, I am really looking forward to this fic. thank you...I'm having fun...in a this is giving me a headache sort of a way! lol   Esther Chapter 1 03/10/2006 10:08 pm OOooh, more, please!!! Gotta see how much 'damage' Spike's done with changing history. Hehee!!! Damage...it's Spike! lol   Spikes Slayer2 Chapter 1 03/10/2006 08:40 pm oooh this is a great start!!! thank you...I hope I can keep it up! lol   Jace Nox Chapter 1 03/10/2006 08:14 pm decaf? Never! *darts away to drink more caffine ladened coffee!* whoo hoo! and coca cola is a health drink! lol   Tamara Chapter 1 03/10/2006 07:13 pm Great start! I figure either he went into his original body because of the wish or because the same matter can't occupy the same space and his body is unchanged as he gets older unlike Buffy's who has been changed by age and by her resurrection. oooh thats good...I might use it! lol   jl1980 Chapter 1 03/10/2006 05:54 pm i am confused already...lol..time travel stories do that to me... but i love this so much and its only the first chapter!! can't wait for more!!

Interesting start but I need more story. and you'll get it...soon   Maddy Chapter 1 03/10/2006 11:21 am Great start. I'm waiting to see what's next.
