I beg of you to continue with this story! I love it!
 
RobyChapter 3704/01/2006 08:31 pm
...Me too... What Kimbclar and jl1980 said! I really love this story and hope to see an update... (cough:soon!:cough) :-)
 
kimbclarChapter 3704/01/2006 05:49 pm
I can't remember if I've ever reviewed this fic even though I've read it before - so here goes...

Love it! This is one of the best rewrite's of Season 4/5 that I've ever read. Spot on characterization! Hope to see an update soon.
 
jl1980Chapter 3703/15/2006 11:14 pm
that's so sad...poor giles...but a least willow was able to help tara...loving this story, sad that i've read all there is for now, and can't wait for more..
 
redwulf50Chapter 3702/17/2006 08:21 pm
lol, You and your evil cliffhangers
 
bubble_blunderChapter 3701/09/2006 01:28 am
Wonderful update as usual. More soon, please! -Lisa
 
janeChapter 3701/06/2006 11:33 am
Super update I really love this fic. Poor Giles I really hope the doctors are wrong, maybe Willow can do something. Love it.
 
LouChapter 3701/05/2006 09:16 pm
Mmmmm...gummy Angel. Nice.
 
ComedyofErrorsChapter 3701/05/2006 04:04 pm
Umph. I love Giles, too. Oh well, he's tough, like Spike said, and I'll wish him well. I'm glad Willow's back, and all on the right side. Interesting way of bringing Sam around to the story, works well.
 
Elizabeth Anne SummersChapter 3701/05/2006 05:33 am
hehe Sam with the kinky hurt from Drac hehe... I LOVED the thing with Spike keeping Angel's fangs. That was awesome.
 
jl1980Chapter 3603/15/2006 11:06 pm
oh my gosh...well at least Giles isn't dead...how awful...so i guess they're gonna head home now
 
redwulf50Chapter 3602/17/2006 08:18 pm
It was an excellent read, and dealt with lots of plotty goodness
 
KathyChapter 3611/28/2005 06:38 pm
You are without a doubt evil incarnate for doing that to poor Giles & Tara. Thanks. Can't wait to see how it goes. Been enjoying this from day 1, sorry such a lousy reviewer.
 
stephanieChapter 3611/26/2005 02:26 pm
great update. I enjoyed the blood oath and darla issues. I am very glad that Giles is not dead. I hope he survives, poor Tara. I really like how you have writtern anya and Tara in this story. Very nice!
 
janeChapter 3611/26/2005 10:38 am
I was really chuffed with the update, been a bit concerned given the way the last chappie ended. I'm always up for a bit of Angel humiliation, It couldn't happen to a nicer fella. Brilliant.
 
Sara M.Chapter 3611/26/2005 07:16 am
Oh, my!! This chapter kicked ass!! All of it was so WOW! Can’t wait to see what happens next.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 3611/26/2005 06:06 am
There is a lot in this chapter. Excellent follow up with the Blood Oath and the justice that was served when Angel broke it. I really liked how you handled all of that. Bravo!!! Desperately look forward to more. I thought Giles and Tara were both death. Although very grim, this does at least give a little hope that they can come out of it.
 
LouChapter 3611/25/2005 12:03 am
Top update! You got through a ton of action and exposition. And dominant Spike was delicious.
 
MarzBarChapter 3611/24/2005 09:21 pm
WOW!! What an update!! I was afraid Giles was already dead. Nice Spike/Angelus blood play for retribution. Spike must be feeling pretty good now which he will need because Buffy will be frantic. More story soon please.
 
ilpopiChapter 3611/24/2005 09:19 pm
Loved the Darla bashing. It was very funny. But Spike was right in punishing Angel. He put them all in danger. Perhaps Angelus would have honoured the oath but Darla could have killed everyone by then.
 
bubble_blunderChapter 3611/24/2005 07:49 pm
Awesome update! Love the little tidbits about the watchers. So glad to see more of this one! Can't wait to read the next chapter! -Lisa
 
AngieChapter 3611/24/2005 05:24 pm
More please!
 
ShadyChapter 3611/24/2005 02:45 pm
ooo look, I'm the first review! Fab Chapter Schez. Love Angel Pain! What a wanker! But OMG, Tara and Giles, and Guilt!Buffy...oh the angst! Update soon *not holding my breath*
 
jl1980Chapter 3503/15/2006 11:01 pm
oh my gosh!!! did you just kill giles??? i mean...i've done things like that in my stories so i can't talk..but that's just awful!!! but the story's awesome
 
redwulf50Chapter 3502/17/2006 08:14 pm
Oh yeah glory have your fun while yo can
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 3511/07/2005 11:49 pm
Oh no ... poor Giles and Tara. {Frowns and cries softly} What a horrible way for him to go. Hope you are able to update soonish.
 
LouChapter 3510/17/2005 03:54 pm
Excellent gruesome violence!
 
AthenewolfeChapter 3510/16/2005 12:35 am
What? NOOOOOOO.... grabs shez and holds on... want more ficcy - how evil EVIL more more more .... sigh love the story as always cannot wait to fid out more.
 
janeChapter 3510/15/2005 03:33 pm
Oh no I certainly didn't expect that. Poor Tara but at least it looks like she'll live I'm not holding out much hope for Giles. Was that Xander back from his exile? I can't wait to find out. Absolutely love this I don't care how long we have to wait for updates I could never lose interest.
 
EstherChapter 3510/15/2005 06:40 am
I'm screaming "No" at the end....oh my, please tell me Giles isn't dead. And poor Tara!!! Spuffy smuttage was FAB!!! Oh please, Schez, please let there be more soon....I beg you....
 
Elizabeth Anne SummersChapter 3510/15/2005 03:31 am
Of course I loved the smuttage. LoL. the Glory carnage was all sad, though *pouts* much angstyness
 
redwulf50Chapter 3510/15/2005 12:50 am
oh my god you are truly evil grrrrrrrr IO love it.
 
KathyChapter 3510/14/2005 11:46 pm
Spuffy-smuttage very good. Sad for Tara to be insane again. Bad for you for hurting Giles so. And who was the caped crusader screaming "No." Okay, may not so much with the cape... spikespet2002@yahoo.com
 
slaymesoftlyChapter 3510/14/2005 11:36 pm
Mystery arrival is Dawn???? Or Willow? One or the other. *whip* End evil cliffhanger!
 
MarzBarChapter 3510/14/2005 09:22 pm
OK, liking the Spuffy smut. Who is the mystery person? Is it Willow? Lots of enemies now; Glory and minions, Drusilla and Darla, Dracula and bride. Did I forget any? Lots of bads to defeat. More please.
 
Sara MChapter 3510/14/2005 07:07 pm
Oh, oh, thats just not right. Poor Giles, and Tara. More please!
 
jl1980Chapter 3403/15/2006 10:56 pm
wow...how sweet...they're gonna belong to each other in every way possible...love this story
 
redwulf50Chapter 3402/17/2006 08:13 pm
LOL I loved the Angel bashing and even the Spuffy scmhoop
 
RichardChapter 3401/05/2006 04:47 am
"Groaning slightly, he willed the incipient erection away; he hated that his cock liked pain and perked up whenever it appeared on the horizon." LOL!!! It does explain a few things though, like why Angelus is such a sadist..
 
MandythemusicianChapter 3410/11/2005 10:01 pm
A freakin' wonderful and creative story...as if Dracula, Glory, Dru and Darla all weren't enough by themselves...yeah, lets put them all together and yeah, while we are at it let's give the added stress of Buffy being turned...lol... Love it...good writing, good character work and unique angle. I especially liked Angel healing Joyce... Spike and Buffy need a mommy... hated that they killed her off. It takes major spunk to have no powers in the midst of supernatural champions and still stand strong and fearless.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Chapter 3410/11/2005 04:08 am
Reread this chapter. Can never get enough Dark Gift. {grins} The whole scene with the Fang Gang plus Willow and Xander walking in on Angel and Darla was just perfect. I cracked up the first time, and I cracked up again now. I can picture all the green faces and Cordy going off on Angel. Look forward to when you are inspired to write more.
 
jl1980Chapter 3303/15/2006 10:48 pm
awwww...now i think its time for that claim!!!
 
redwulf50Chapter 3302/17/2006 08:11 pm
LOL, doofus Buffy, it must be a scoobie trait
 
jl1980Chapter 3203/15/2006 10:45 pm
loved the reunion between buffy and spike...hate darla and angelus...as if glory and dracula weren't bad enough
 
redwulf50Chapter 3202/17/2006 08:08 pm
Ya know Inow get why Darla turned Angel.... She is dumber than him
 
LouChapter 3210/06/2005 02:53 pm
Post coital Angel is a hoot!
 
jl1980Chapter 3103/15/2006 10:40 pm
oh no...i hope he doesn't lose his soul again...i actually felt bad for him during that talk..and i'm glad the others didn't let spike back down...buffy *was* wrong...great chapter!!
 
redwulf50Chapter 3102/17/2006 08:06 pm
LOL, yeah real smart peaches
 
jl1980Chapter 3003/15/2006 10:29 pm
drunk Spike and Giles was hilarious!! love it!! and now maybe buffy and spike will actually talk this out...so loving this story!!!
 
redwulf50Chapter 3002/17/2006 08:00 pm
LOL, make Angel suffer, please
 
jl1980Chapter 2903/15/2006 12:05 am
wow...this is getting heavy...i think he did all he could, she's just so confused...poor thing...need more story now
 
redwulf50Chapter 2902/17/2006 07:55 pm
Oh god poor Spike women are just bloody evil
 
jl1980Chapter 2803/14/2006 11:55 pm
why?? why isn't he ready?? grrr... great chapter though
 
redwulf50Chapter 2802/17/2006 07:51 pm
OH shit stoopid Buffy
 
jl1980Chapter 2703/14/2006 11:44 pm
awww...i thought she was gonna get to kill him...spike's still in for it though, isn't he? glad they both got to thoroughly kick drac's butt though!!
 
redwulf50Chapter 2702/17/2006 07:48 pm
LOL, get him Buffy
 
jl1980Chapter 2603/14/2006 11:32 pm
oh no!!! i knew his lying was gonna cause trouble!! and here she is getting caught by dracula!! this sucks!! next chappie please
 
redwulf50Chapter 2602/17/2006 07:43 pm
Dun, Dun, Dun

Great lead in to the nexy chappie

Damn good chappie all around
 
jl1980Chapter Twenty Five03/14/2006 11:12 pm
i love the developing friendship between spike and giles..and your anya is amazing, i love her!! i'm getting a bit nervous about all the stuff with glory though...and for angel to make a sacrifice like that...wow...too powerful
 
redwulf50Chapter Twenty Five02/17/2006 07:39 pm
Poor Giles

Damn good chappie
 
jl1980Chapter 2403/14/2006 10:59 pm
well maybe they wont need to contact travers or d'hoffryn then...but spike shouldn't be lying to her, that never works out well for him does it?? love the chapter
 
redwulf50Chapter 2402/17/2006 07:35 pm
"We're screwed," Anya sighed.

Yeah Anya but I bet its better tan Xander

awww....that's sad..and they know joyce is sick, don't they?? how sad...i love how you write the characters without bashing them...it's awesome..on to the next chapter now
 
redwulf50Chapter 2202/17/2006 07:26 pm
LOL, women and there need for the phone
 
jl1980Chapter 2103/14/2006 10:11 pm

redwulf50Chapter 2102/17/2006 07:22 pm
LOL, damn good chappie
 
jl1980Chapter 2003/14/2006 06:11 pm
oh angel is so toast!! spike's gonna kick his butt for messing with buffy...and then buffy can kick his butt for messing with spike....i am thoroughly addicted to this story now!!
 
redwulf50Chapter 2002/17/2006 07:17 pm
Angel is an idiot, can we turn Riley and make them claim each other as Mates
 
jl1980Chapter 1903/14/2006 06:03 pm
you actually made me feel sorry for riley...he was starting to sort of see the light there before glory got him...and buffy can make other people disappear too...cool...on to the next chapter

redwulf50Chapter 1802/17/2006 07:09 pm
LOL, great chappie
 
jl1980Chapter 1703/14/2006 12:38 am

redwulf50Chapter 1702/17/2006 06:52 pm

LOL, Xander is to stupid
 
redwulf50Chapter 910/07/2005 02:48 am
“You know to catch him? Like the cartoons?” Anya explained. Completely unaware that the others were staring at her as if she were insane. She was used to the looks and ignored them as usual. Pure d Anya I loves it
 
jl1980Chapter Eight03/12/2006 09:54 pm
poor spike...glad they got that straightened out, he's so insecure about her feelings...loving this story lots...

redwulf50Chapter Five02/17/2006 05:56 pm
"Oh, my God! I'm a vampire!" Buffy wailed.

I have always loved that line
 
jl1980Chapter 403/12/2006 08:50 pm

LOL, little does the Euro trash know that he'll be getting his ass kicked soon
 
redwulf50Chapter Three10/07/2005 01:53 am
"My simpering pet? I think I may keep him for a while before releasing him." Dracula grinned wickedly. "He has his uses when I tire of female company." "You mean…" Spike threw his head back and laughed. Of course he means it Xander is a butt monkee after all
 
jl1980Chapter Two03/12/2006 08:30 pm
oh no!!! spike has to take her out of there...but is she going to be loyal to dracula now as her sire?? on to the next chapter!!
 
redwulf50Chapter Two02/17/2006 05:48 pm
Drac may be stupider than Angel
 
KurChapter Two11/29/2005 05:08 pm
Wow! What a shock for our poor Spike! Love it!
 
redwulf50Chapter Two10/07/2005 01:37 am

redwulf50Chapter One02/17/2006 05:46 pm
LOL, poor Spike dealing with the idiots
 
KurChapter One11/29/2005 04:32 pm
Great story! It must be really confusing for him to be the only one who actually remebers her. What's wrong with the rest? I loved it. Kisses, Kur
 
redwulf50Chapter One10/07/2005 01:19 am
Oh yeah, the best thing about all this fic getting uploaded, much easier to reread.
