LMAO - okay great fab ending I love angel dust! Great ficcie!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the ending... a few people thought it was a bit harsh to dust Angel but the way I look at it Angel would never have left them in peace and would have continued to try and find a way to either break them up or kill Spike... so in the interest of Spuffy happiness he had to go.

LMAO, this fic has the Wulfe's Angel Bashing seal of Approval
ROFLMAO... somehow I knew you'd like the ending!
 
BloodyTearsOfLifeEpilogue01/27/2006 04:31 pm
Oh Always, this fic just rocked! I had started reading it on the old site and finally got a chance to catch up. It was just superb! I loved how you developed the Spuffy relationship and the ending was seven kinds of awesome. You did an incredible job!
Aww, thank you, sweete! I am so glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of fun to write.
 
CutieSaiyajinEpilogue01/02/2006 10:59 am
Funny ending. ;P I really loved this whole story. I wish it could have been longer! ;) Great job!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Interesting ending. Didn't expect that one. I'll bet Wulfie is doing major dances. {chuckles} I can see how Angel would have been ticked and thinking that Buffy was just being foolish. He always did treat her like a child. Nice story all around. {Smiles}
Thanks Tasha! I'm glad you enjoyed the ending and the fic as a whole. LOL... I don't think Wulfie has even read it...so he misses out on his happy dance.
 
LouEpilogue12/16/2005 01:50 pm
That was a fun take on an episode that's rarely explored. Nicely done - loved the staking!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I've had a few people comment that they haven't seen that ep done before... I never realised that before!
 
MefiantEpilogue12/16/2005 11:50 am
Woohoo a dusty ending for Angel. I love it. Fantastic story sweets, have really enjoyed it.
Thank you! *squish!* I'm glad you enjoyed it my dear! See you Tuesday! *hugs*
 
laceyEpilogue12/16/2005 09:15 am
okay, i liked this story and all, but the ending was a bit ridiculous. buffy wouldn't have staked angel like that and i don't understand why everyone has to make him act like that. buffy wouldn't have even acted like that if she staked him. it's just not that realistic to me. sorry, really didn't care for the ending.
Thank you for taking the time to review. I am glad you have enjoyed the rest of the story. As for the ending everyone is entitled to their opinion but as I was the one writing the fic it's the way I feel it should be... I personally believe that the way I depicted Angel's reaction to finding Buffy and Spike together is very much in character.
As for Buffy, at this point in time Angel isn't "the love of her life". *gag* She has been a vampire for the last few days, and suddenly her lover and 'sire' is being not only threatened but quite possibly about to be killed... I don't think she would hesitate to dust Angel under these circumstances.
 
MarzBarEpilogue12/16/2005 09:10 am
Nice Angel dusting for a fini! Great that it happened so easily and that she will start out and probably stay with Spike.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, Angel needed to dust... he would never have accepted Buffy and Spike's relationship and he wouldn't have rested until Spike was dust. (For Buffy's own good, of course!)
 
JessicaEpilogue12/16/2005 08:11 am
Excellent ending. ; ) This was a wonderful story. Loved it to pieces.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
 
janeEpilogue12/15/2005 11:23 pm
Great finale, nice seeing Angels reaction at the end.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
 
bubble_blunderEpilogue12/15/2005 10:03 pm
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. And what an appropriate ending! Loved it! -Lisa
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the ending! lol
 
Confused MuseEpilogue12/15/2005 04:14 pm
Ah, a wulfie ending Such wonderful fun to read - great job, babe!
Thanks sweetie! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
 
AthenewolfeChapter 602/20/2006 07:45 pm
lol i love the annoying the boy until he woke up - classic xander - really great spike reaction and typical Giles. Looking forward to the conclusion!
Thanks! lol.. it had been my intention all along for Xander to save the day... but as he IS Xander he could only ever do that through incompetence and being annoying is something he does well.
 
UncagedMuseChapter 612/14/2005 06:56 am
BLOODY BRILLIANT! LOVE THIS CHP! Love the whole fic sweets. Ready for the next part as soon as you have it written.
Thanks sweetie! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The next part (epilogue) has been written since about chap 1. lol... I'll probably put it up tomorrow.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 612/14/2005 12:50 am
ROFL! Giles hoping that his whole talk with Buffy and Spike was a nightmare, was funny. {Chuckles} Loved this update. Look forward to more.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it... I think poor Giles is hoping that it was ALL just a nightmare. lol
 
MarzBarChapter 612/13/2005 06:14 pm
This dream did a world of good for Buffy. Got her smart faster than she would have been otherwise.
Thank you! I think the fact that this Buffy hasn't been through the whole traumatic Angelus experience makes a big difference too.
 
LouChapter 612/13/2005 10:44 am
That was sweet - Angel is just going to love it!!!
Thank you! *Angel is just going to love it!!!* ...isn't he just!!!
 
bubble_blunderChapter 612/13/2005 10:06 am
YAY for more updating! Awesome chapter. Glad to see the two of them staying together and the others being so accepting. -Lisa
Thank you! It took a lot of fast talking on Buffy's part... but I think she pretty much left them with no choice but to accept!
 
JessicaChapter 612/13/2005 09:46 am
Such a wonderful chapter. Loved that there won't be any angst over them staying together. *evil grin* Can't wait for Angel's reaction. More please.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. lol... Angel's reaction is coming up next in the epilogue.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 502/20/2006 07:43 pm
I loved how you handled dru in this fic - everything is moving along nicely! Wonderful story!
Thank you!! Yes, Dru needed to be out of the way and I didn't feel like killing her off so it was easier to just let her have her vision a little earlier than she did on the show.
 
JessicaChapter 511/26/2005 10:55 am
This is such a lovely story. I love how you changed everything around. And I can't wait to see what will happen when the spell ends. ; )
Thank you! I am so very glad you are enjoying it.
 
RoseChapter 511/17/2005 06:44 am
Great job! But shouldn't the name 'Angelus' get some reaction from Buffy? I mean, she knows Angel, and knows that name too. But I still really really love this story, and I hope you'll be able to update soon!
Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying the story. I am sure that Buffy recognised the name, Angel just isn't very high on her list of priorities at the moment.
 
redwulf50Chapter 511/11/2005 11:59 pm
Very good chapter You do great work
Thank you... *looks nervous* what do you want???
 
MarzBarChapter 511/11/2005 11:19 pm
Still dreaming and still good for Spuffy. Giles is pretty far gone if he worries so much about Buffy being a vampire in a dream. More story please.
Thanks I'm glad you are enjoying it. I'd say Giles is pretty smart to be worried about Buffy... a vamped slayer is a pretty scary thought and as he doesn't know that she isn't killing I can definitely see why he'd be worried.... and also terribly upset and guilt-ridden that it happened to her in the first place.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 511/11/2005 10:22 pm
Yeah! Two updates in a week on this one. That is awesome!! Loved the update. Looks like they are closer to the nightmare ending. I wonder what will happen. Will Buffy be half and half since she has taken blood? Can't wait to find out.
Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying the updates. I hope to have the next (possibly last) one done in a day or two.
 
bubble_blunderChapter 511/11/2005 08:47 pm
I love it! Can't wait to read more! -Lisa
Thank you! More soon.
 
janeChapter 511/11/2005 07:35 pm
I'm in heaven two updates in two days what a treat. I love the spuffy in this fic, they're so sweet to each other. I loved how Buffy pulled her game face when needed. She's taken to her change really well, thanks to Spike. Update soon I so wanna read more.
Aww... thank you! I am really glad you are enjoying it. LOL... Buffy may have qualms about killing people... but she IS a vampire and her inhibitions are considerably lower than when she was human... so flashing a little fang to get her way... NO problem at all! There should be another update (possibly the last) along very soon.
 
NiamhChapter 511/11/2005 04:57 pm
All caught up. . . wow. . . this is really good and I love how you've made him a protector and willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe (and happy). And I'm so glad to see someone work with this episode, something I've never seen before. Really great work. Am looking forward to see what you do with the rest of this.
Thanks Nia! I'm glad you are enjoying it... not much more to go... 1 maybe 2 chaps. And the very end is (and has been for ages) already written.
 
LouChapter 511/11/2005 04:37 pm
Will everyone have a rude awakening? Yikes!
LOL... you'll just have to wait and see. Shouldn't be waiting too long though, the next chap is coming along nicely.
 
SpaceLordChapter 511/11/2005 03:07 pm
Well this story is very interesting, wonder if Buffy will be a vampire even after the whole nightmare thing is over. Will the nightmare be over? Well guess I'll have to stay tuned to find out
LOL... all things will be revealed in time! I am glad you are enjoying it. Thanks for reviewing.
 
slaymesoftlyChapter 511/11/2005 01:44 pm
Aha! recognized the need to know about coolers as soon as he said he was going to get them something to eat! Good job working that out for them...and scary that Giles and the Scoobies will be looking to dust Buffy! Can't wait to read the rest of your twist on the episode....
LOL... yeah! Thanks... and the worst part was I actually did know it, had read it so many times... but just couldn't think of it.
Let's hope that Spike and Buffy find something to occupy themselves so they stay far away from Giles and Co.!
 
AthenewolfeChapter 402/20/2006 07:41 pm
love how Buffy takes on the bigger vamp and how she is all quipy girl. great fic - also forgot to mention the photo for chappie 3 is messed up - anyway great ficcie so far!
Buffy's quipping was fun to write! And yeah, big guy was soo stupid... you'd thibnk he would have realised that she was considerably more confident than a fledgling should have been under those circumstances. I'll have a look at the banner and fix it up.. thanks for letting me know.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 411/11/2005 10:49 am
Most definitely enjoying this fic. Very well written. Loved the alley scene.
Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying it.
 
bubble_blunderChapter 411/09/2005 06:09 am
So glad to see you updated! I fell in love with this story when I first read it a while back. Can't wait to see where you go next! -Lisa
Thanks! I am glad you are still enjoying it.
 
MarzBarChapter 411/09/2005 02:51 am
At least Spike and Buffy are having good dreams. Yummy smut!
LOL... yep, they aren't doing too bad! I'm glad you are enjoying it.
 
CewcewChapter 411/09/2005 01:56 am
Its Back! Its Back! AND Its Updated! Yeah! Raa raa Hip Hip Horay! O pleeaassseeeee update again soon..
Thanks! I'll take that as meaning you liked the chap? lol. There will be more along soon.
 
redwulf50Chapter 411/08/2005 11:57 pm
Esquisite (sp) I love this fic, the bad thing is Buffy is about to be human again I bet Still I have faith that it will be good.
Hee hee, thanks, pup! I'm glad you trust me to make it right!... so when she turns back into a human and runs off into the sunset with her recently shanhued Angel to live happily ever after you will still love me... right?
 
MaxChapter 411/08/2005 09:50 pm
I read the first parts of this a while back - I'm glad you've decided to update it again. I can't wait to see what happens when the spell gets broken. Ooh, Angel's gonna go nuts - let him see them together before the spell's over, pleeeeease.
LOL... I am glad you are enjoying the fic... it is all plotted out and the end is, in fact, already written and has been for ages... so I won't be making any plot changes no matter how much you beg! lol... nice try though.
 
UncagedMuseChapter 411/08/2005 06:49 pm
Loved this chp! Will be waiting on the edge of my seat for more.
Thanks, sweetie! More soon.
 
janeChapter 411/08/2005 04:54 pm
Really really happy you've updated this story. I read through all four chappies just to get back into the flow and I love it even more.
Accidental double post.
 
janeChapter 411/08/2005 04:54 pm
Really really happy you've updated this story. I read through all four chappies just to get back into the flow and I love it even more.
Thanks! I'm glad you still like it. The muse wouldn't touch this fic for so long now it is all he wants to write... so there should be another update along in a day or so.
 
LouChapter 411/08/2005 04:20 pm
Cool idea - very unusual, and a great way for them to meet. Talk about hot!! But I suspect something nasty will hit the fan when the spell breaks. Can't wait for more!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it... unfortunately I can take no credit for the idea as it IS a challenge response.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 302/20/2006 07:39 pm
wonderful chapter - can't wait to see how the gang will get out of this one!
Thank you!
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 311/11/2005 10:45 am
Excellent chapter. Very nice writing of her awakening and her joining with Spike. I think you did a great job of capturing how Xander's mind worked and the emotions involved. Buffy, Willow and Giles really did give Xander's life a purpose. It gave him a direction. With Buffy gone, and Giles so wounded, he would be quite lost. Heading to the next chapter that I see is here too.
Thanks! Yeah Xander, esp young Xander, doesn't cope well in a crisis and when you take away all of his security blankets (Buffy, Giles etc) he is definitely a little lost.
 
AthenewolfeChapter 202/20/2006 07:38 pm
Loved Buffy's reaction to finding out Spike killed two slayers. Funny how he thinks it is odd but hasn;t caught on to the fact that she is really different and why. Of course how many times do things like that happen - well outside of Sunnydale that is lol. great ficcy so far!
LOl... yes, poor Buffy is torn at the moment between being a vampire and being a slayer and doesn't quite know what to do with herself. Spike is pretty patient with her, I am sure she would not have fared so well with say Angelus as a sire.
 
PeytonChapter 212/13/2005 03:36 pm
ROFLMAO! Evil Dumbo Clowns! Brilliant!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
 
AthenewolfeChapter 102/20/2006 07:35 pm
hehehe - I like Buffy's reaction to being a vampire. Excellant - and the introduction to Spike was priceless - can't wait to see his reaction once he figures everything out!
Thanks, sweetie! I'm glad you enjoyed.
 
Joyful DayzChapter 112/13/2005 05:30 pm
I'm so glad she didn't pull away from him when the nightmare ended! Finally, a Buffy who didn't cave to her friends' opinions. Can't wait for the rest.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it! I rarely write a Buffy who 'caves' that easily... but in this case I think the fact that she hasn't been betrayed by the vampire she had defended continually to her friends and had some of her inner circle die and others injured as a result of her trust in said vampire probably helps. What she went through with Angelus on the show was very traumatic, especially for such a young girl, and would have made her question her judgement and be very wary of ever putting her friends in that situation again. Not saying I agree with her usual reactions... just that I can understand them.
 
spike_spetslayerChapter 111/08/2005 05:42 pm
Great story, always...can't wait for more. Love the interplay between Spike and Buffy. Nice rewrite of the show...
Thanks Pet! I'm glad you are enjoying it... hope to have more up in a day or two.
 
tamibrandtChapter 109/24/2005 10:47 pm
good story
Thank you!
