Just wanted to let you know that I'm truly enjoying your work. This fleshing out of Spike's tale is spot on. Please do continue!

nice description cant wait for more chapters!!!!
 
VWalkOver the Hills and Far Away06/15/2006 10:00 pm
Wow!

You've actually made me feel sympathy for the infamous Cecily. You definitely get kudos for that. I love the twists this story is taking. Great characterization on Darla and Angelus. I also like the fact that in their own ways - each of the family 'loves' William. (After all - to know Spike is to love him.)

Good work. Looking forward to more.
 
AlexisOver the Hills and Far Away06/15/2006 05:29 pm
I really hope you continue this fic. In fact, I hope you continue all 3 fics - I like them all and can't choose which one I'd want you to write more. Remember, there's always more readers than reviewers and most of us are just too damn lazy (I know I'm guilty of that!), but that doesn't mean we don't check daily to see if there's an update!! ;)

As far as this fic goes, I loved the backstory. Nice for once to have Darla not hating William's guts on sight. I'd like to see more about Spike's powers. I'd also like to see more of him and Tara -- that's what drew me to the prequel in the first place, and those scenes just faded away after Spike and Buffy got together. Can't wait to see Spike and Glory go toe to toe - that sShould be fun! He's totally gonna kick her lopsided ass!!

Great fic! Keep writing, you've got more fans than you know!
 
sircOver the Hills and Far Away06/14/2006 01:51 pm
Me again According to my calculations, 1880 would be two years too few for William to be twenty-five. After fixing the previous year (which, now that I think about, would be easier and less trouble for you if it was the very first year, 1862, that gets added that 4 years), I get that he would be aged 23 in the year 1880. Since I'm guessing that you are going to turn him further on in this chapter, what with the Cecily mess, it would be easier for you to make him younger.

Once again, I apologize for nagging. I really *do* like this fic, the dates just bugged me a little. You probably hate me by now, always telling you that there's something wrong in your writing ;)
 
vladtOver the Hills and Far Away06/13/2006 12:18 am
fantastic read. love the chapter. thanks
 
jl1980Over the Hills and Far Away06/10/2006 07:44 pm
oh how very sad...poor spike...his history is just heart-breaking...i am very much still following this story, please update it soon!
 
pretty_in_fangsOver the Hills and Far Away06/10/2006 01:37 pm
Hi. I just found "This is the Way the World Ends" yesterday and read through to here. I love this story. I particularly appreciate the dedication you are paying to William's past. Very well done. Thank you.
 
PinOver the Hills and Far Away06/08/2006 07:30 am
Interesting reworking of the canon and look at the interactions in the early years. Thanks!
 
ToniaOver the Hills and Far Away06/08/2006 05:31 am
Poor Spike! I still don't like Cecily, but you made me feel tiny bit sorry for her.
This is a wonderful story
and I hope you update soon.
 
letitiaOver the Hills and Far Away06/08/2006 05:10 am
my heart just goes out to him.. I am hoping that Buffy really listens to him. This has helped form the man he is today.
 
SpaceLordOver the Hills and Far Away06/08/2006 03:03 am
I had to google the chapter title cause I could hear the song but not place it. I found Nightwish but and Led Zeppelin but new neither one was the song that I had on my brain. I think the one I've heard a few times is Gary Moores.
 
SpaceLordOver the Hills and Far Away06/08/2006 03:00 am
Well we certanly learn more and more about Spike and I really like the complex relationship he's got with his vampire family.
 
VWalkTwo Sides of the Coin06/15/2006 09:46 pm
You've painted such a clear picture of William's life. Really incredible.

I can't wait to see how this ties in with how (and why?) he killed the two slayers. (That was the original question right?)

Love the story. Looking forward to more.
 
sircTwo Sides of the Coin06/14/2006 01:41 pm
Great chapter

I noticed an error concerning William's age. In the last chapter, William is nine in 1862. In this chapter, he is twelve on the year 1869. Taking the dates as facts he should be either 16 in this chapter or 5 in the previous one. I'm not trying to tell you how to write your own story, that is not my intention, I just thought IŽd bring this to your notice. ... Reading on, I notice that it seems to be the dates that have gone wrong, instead of Williams age.. Sorry about rambling.
 
jl1980Two Sides of the Coin06/10/2006 07:38 pm
man, he's been through so much, so much emotional damage...explains a lot of what's happened in the story so far, and the last one excellent chapter
 
D.K.Two Sides of the Coin06/08/2006 08:45 pm
Don't you dare stop writing. This story has more merit than the show did. I am enjoying the rewrite, you delve where the writers didn't. Fleshes out Spike and Buffy to more believable characters. Keep on submitting chapters. Thanks!
 
vladtTwo Sides of the Coin06/03/2006 11:16 pm
thanks for a very good read. not the usual backstory for william. you tell yours wonderfully. hope rl becomes, if not comfortable, at least manageable. i escape the rl by reading well crafted tales such as yours.
 
Spikes Slayer2Two Sides of the Coin06/02/2006 09:09 pm
oh my.. please continue with this story i like hearing about williams past..
 
PierrieTwo Sides of the Coin06/02/2006 11:55 am
Usually when a fanfiction seems interesting, I copy it on my computer until it's completed and then I read it.
I make exceptions when it seems to be specially good to my taste.
I did it with Sympathy for the Devil by ComedyofErrors. And I am doing it with In Fire and Blood by Kallysten and I'm doing it with The Worlds Revolve.
So don't evsluate your work with the reviews even if it's tempting.
Please keep ut the good work.
I also wish that your life is a little easier now.
In ending, I want to say that the chapter 7 has bothered me. I fear what is coming.

Very interesting background story. Its a version that I wouldn't have imagined. Thanks.
 
SpaceLordTwo Sides of the Coin06/02/2006 03:17 am
Oh I just love this rich background story of William, it's one of the most thought out ones I've ever read and I really love it.

As for the song....I don't know but I'm guessing Hellacopters....if it isn't then there is somethign wrong

Fascinating backstory. I want more. Original enough to be interesting, and familiar enough to be comfortable.
 
ToniaTwo Sides of the Coin06/02/2006 02:10 am
Wonderful chapter! I hope things start getting better for you. As for your challenge, I know that ch.3 is from Guns N Roses. (Appetite For Destruction) I can hear the song for ch.4 but I can't remeber who sang it.
 
sircThe Man Who Sold the World06/14/2006 01:25 pm
I'm sorry to hear that you have gotten so few reviews. While mine may appear some days later, I *will* write them and tell you how much I like this story. Because I do And I loved this chapter. Especially how you portrayed William
 
jl1980The Man Who Sold the World06/10/2006 07:33 pm
oh my God...that is an incredible chapter, very powerful and heartbreaking...poor little william...what a tragic childhood he had i love this story, though, very well done so far
 
MillyThe Man Who Sold the World06/01/2006 08:16 pm
I just found "This Is The Way The World Ends" yesterday, I read the whole story in two sittings (had to stop, so i could sleep), and have now read the beginning of the sequel.
This is a marvelous story, I absolutely ADORE the Spike/Tara friendship.
Its nice to see things going well for everyone, but yet, its still convincinly real, with a whole different set of problems.
Will we be seeing Faith again? I was really happy to see her go off and do something productive, instead of being locked up.
Do you have an update list for this story? Or do I just need to check this site regularly?
 
VWalkThe Man Who Sold the World05/26/2006 01:48 pm
I absolutely love the story. Sorry the interest seems not to be there but I'm definitely interested.

This is the first story I've read (and I've read a lot) that gives a strong glimpse of William's father - most just say he died when William was a lad.

Can't wait to see where this goes.

I'm definitely hoping that you'll finish. And not just this one but I'm still curious about what happens with Spike after Buffy dies and he continues with his work. What happened with the 13 year old "Pidge" that he rescued from the cemetary at the end of the first story.

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US!! PLEASE KEEP WRITING.
 
spikes_heartThe Man Who Sold the World05/25/2006 01:35 am
Don't be so sure that nobody is reading this, love. I may suck at leaving feedback, but I've been avidly following your tale since the original story and look forward to your next chapter.

**smiles** Keep the faith!
 
Avalon'sMysteriesThe Man Who Sold the World05/24/2006 09:21 am
Please don't stop writing! It's a great story, I love it and I apologize for not reviewing.
 
PyroChildeThe Man Who Sold the World05/24/2006 05:53 am
OMG, thats horrible. Poor William! Good chapter though, more please?
 
fanxstitchThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 11:04 pm
I love reading your stories which are excellent, I just hate writing reviews. When I was writing fanfic I never asked for reviews and very rarely even read the ones I was given. It never mattered what others thought, I wrote because of the story I needed to tell. You write until there's no more story to give.
 
letitiaThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 10:14 pm
well hun, I am loving this story and was so happy to see this chapter. Wonder about the rest of Spike's story.
 
AmeliaThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 09:48 pm
I love this story, please don't stop writing it! I'm sorry I haven't reviewed before but I haven't been able to read it in a long time.
 
RJThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 05:11 pm
Please don't stop writing, this story is great! Your other story was really wonderful too, it followed a nice story arc in a way most fic writers don't accomplish. Don't get discouraged - this story seems like it's had a little slower start in terms of plot, but the writing is still lovely.
 
vladtThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 02:37 pm
the history your giving spike makes for a fantastic read. thanks for the excellent update.
 
NikaThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 10:38 am
Oh please try to finish, I love this story. I cacn't wait to see what happens with Glory.
 
MichelleThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 09:48 am
First off let me just say that this story is just as wonderful as the first one!! Second let me apologize for not reviewing even though I have been happily following both this one and the one before. I know what it is like to write and not get feedback. It is disheartening I know, but I also know that there are those out there that read many fics and never send any feedback. Yes I know that it seems unfair but even if only one person is enjoying the words that you have written you have brought a smile to at least that one person and that should bring a smile to you in return. Okay shutting up now but I promise to send you more feedback on this great story so please don't stop writing.
 
duke6665The Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 08:26 am
great fic.can't wait to read more. hope you don't stop writting this one.
 
dihcarThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 05:40 am
While i do think you're a good writer, the reason why i don't read most of it is because of chapters like this one.
I don't believe in submissive Spike,William, but since it is an AU story then it is possible to write it that way.
I'm just not a fan of it.

seeya
 
JeanieThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 05:01 am
im still reading, please dont stop
 
CatrineThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 04:57 am
I`ve just recently stumbled over the story and I really like it. I hope you will continue writing it. I think this is a really good sequel although this chapter I didn`t like. Not that it wasn`t well written,because it is, but because I really like Spike and feel sorry for him. Keep up the good work!!!!
 
Grimlock157The Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 04:00 am
I love your work, sorry to hear you are getting depressed over the seeming lack of intrest. I am probably one of the ones to blame as I tend to lurk.
 
DreylinThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 03:23 am
Not everyone who reads reviews. I'm usually one of those.

This story has gotten a bit 'out there' for my tastes in where it has taken Spike. Still, I really loved the earlier part of the preceding story, and your writing is strong enough that I'm quite willing to keep reading in hopes that it grabs me again. Also, I'm a sucker for non-fantasy/AU fic, especially during this time period. Anyway, I'm still reading.
 
SpaceLordThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 02:33 am
Hmm think this story is very interesting a little slow at the moment maybe but I like it very much. I hope you continue it cause I loved the prequel to this story very much and think this will be just as good in the end.
 
ToniaThe Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 02:30 am
Please don't stop writing this story. It is one of my favorites and I look forward to each up date.
 
Spikes Slayer2The Man Who Sold the World05/23/2006 01:59 am
oh my... that is truly.. i could never imagine such a life for william.. its sad and upsetting and great at the same time..

oh and please please please!! keep on writing this story.. i really love where you are taking it!! i live for it
 
jl1980Toxicity06/10/2006 07:28 pm
this is so interesting...wanna know what happens next
 
VWalkToxicity05/26/2006 01:46 pm
Hmmm, in the series this 'telling' led to bad things. Can't wait to see how Buffy responds to it. I can't help but comment that in the first story almost every time Spike's actions/motives were called into question (returning to Sunnydale/ fight with Angel at Gile's regarding Drusilla) Buffy "backed the wrong horse."

Has that changed? Is she really ready to 'see' the full evil incarnate Spike? Are we?

Love this story.
 
HEEToxicity05/24/2006 04:43 am
I am begging you to continue this story/I just Re-read the first one - for the third time and decided to check for the sequel. You can't imagine my delight tbat you'd started posting. I will be heartbrokenif you don't continue.

This is excellently written and I'm completely absorbed in it. And if others don't recognize the greaness that is this then theyre crazy.
 
Spikes Slayer2Toxicity05/13/2006 10:07 am

good chapter. be interesting to see if buffy easily accepts,spike rational of why he was successful. thanks for the fine read.

Intresting, i love to read about Spike's slayer history, i'm curious about those 3slayers that ended in a draw.

i like this version of season five...like spike's role in their lives this time around..very good chapter
 
VWalkKryptonite05/26/2006 01:42 pm
I had completely forgotten about Joyce's illness and subsequent death. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

I'm really enjoying the way you blend canon with your own storyline - it makes for very interesting reading.

Maybe Spike can figure out who and what Ben is before Glorificus finds out that Dawn is the key. More story please.

Buffy threw up on his boots! Nice update. Do hope they save Joyce and Spike figures ou Ben.

SpaceLordKryptonite05/08/2006 02:16 am
Ohh will they be able to save Joyce this time around? What will happen now. I gotta say that I love this season rewrite, even though it's the same villan it feels really fresh.

VWalkWelcome to the Jungle05/26/2006 01:41 pm
I remember in the first story you said that the last greatest challenge to Spike with his new powers was Glory. Can't wait to see how that develops.

I am really enjoying this.
