Tasha09/22/2005 01:44 am
03/11/2005 @ 01:35 am Email Great start to this story. I like the background information that ties her original watcher, Merrick, to this story. Good lead in with Lothos as well, showing that she isn't exactly all peaches and cream. She has some bite to her. I look forward to updates.
Starshine09/22/2005 01:43 am
03/11/2005 @ 02:54 am Email Awesome beginning I think I am getting all misty eyed. Beautiful!!!
AmyB09/22/2005 01:42 am
03/11/2005 @ 03:06 am Email Such a lovely start you've got here! I really like the Buffy that you've created, the broken girl I think the writers were hinting at when they had her mention that she'd been in an asylum. They went back on that pretty fast, but I thought it was an intriguing idea, and you're doing very well with a broken and isolated Buffy. And having Merrick as her only friend only to have her lose him so painfully, much like Gunn lost Alonna on Angel--very effective! I like the way your verse is taking shape. Wonderful beginning! More soon?
Kari Mouke09/22/2005 01:41 am
03/11/2005 @ 09:12 am Email Lovely, Rae. I really enjoy the way you take us back to the begining and give us an entirely different 'what if' Buffy. It makes everything to come fresh and exciting!
Jesse09/22/2005 01:41 am
03/11/2005 @ 02:14 pm Wonderful Rae! The walls you are building around Buffy are going to be intresting to watch evolve, bend, and shatter. The pain and desperation of her is clouded by hints of longing and reluctant acceptance. The result is a papalible pain that is heart breaking. Her world is full of darkness and sadness; thus leaving her in a state of flux. Its going to be an intresting ride once other characters are thrown into the mix. I can hardly wait to read your Spike and whatever other characters you give us. More Please!!
Stephanie09/22/2005 01:40 am
03/11/2005 @ 02:36 pm Email Wonderful beginning! I cannot wait for more! This looks to be a very good story and I like what you have done with Buffy. Please, please can I have some more?
SpikesDeb09/22/2005 01:40 am
03/12/2005 @ 05:53 pm Email Rae this is a wonderful start. You've really given the reader the feeling of isolation that Buffy has allowed to take over her life. Nice to see you take it back to her beginning and fill in some gaps. Looking forward to the next bit.

03/17/2005 @ 06:01 pm Lovin' it. But I thought that you were only going to update on fridays. *Not* that i'm complaining. Chapter 2 was great, I can't wait for more.
Tasha09/22/2005 01:36 am
03/17/2005 @ 07:15 pm Email Excellent ... excellent update. You are setting this up really nicely. I liked Chapter One with the lead in on Merrick and Lothos. I like Chapter 2 with the introduction of Spike and Drusilla. Very nice all around. I look forward to more of this story.

Esther09/22/2005 01:34 am
03/18/2005 @ 01:09 am Email Boy howdy!! Just started reading this and I already love it!! I like the twist with Buffy, and Spike's unrequited love for Dru was so sad. I can't wait to read more of this!!

Stephanie09/22/2005 01:32 am
03/25/2005 @ 02:02 pm Email What a clever way to get Buffy to Sunnydale. I can't wait to see what happens when all the characters meet for the first time. And what has happened with the Master? If Buffy wasn't there did he rise? Did they defeat him? And what will happen when Giles meets Buffy - he seems harder in this one - oh and what about Willow and Xander - did Giles save them - are they vampires? Oh tell, tell all!
Tasha09/22/2005 01:31 am
03/25/2005 @ 03:18 pm Email Another interesting chapter. I like how the players are moving into place. Giles is a different man because of the two year wait for Buffy. What will happen next? Will Buffy still be enamored with Angel (Goodness I hope not)? Will she see Spike first and feel for him? I'll keep hoping.
Mandi09/22/2005 01:31 am
03/25/2005 @ 11:03 pm Email URL Loved the update! Can't wait to see what happens when Buffy and Spike meet.
Esther09/22/2005 01:30 am
03/26/2005 @ 12:45 am Email Boy howdy!! Great chappy!!! The elements have come together and now we'll get to see Buffy and Spike in the same place....oh I can't wait for the UST!! Hm, it had to be Ethan, huh? I kinda had a small (very small) feeling it was him, so thanks for answering that little question. Can't wait for the battle to begin!!!
Demonica Mills09/22/2005 01:30 am
04/06/2005 @ 08:28 pm Email URL Good update. Curious to know what Buffy is doing during this. Hope things are going better in RL.
Esther09/22/2005 01:29 am
04/07/2005 @ 12:20 am Email OOhhhh...and the plot thickens!! I love it!! I can't wait for the first meeting between Spike and Buffy, and I'm especially loving that Angel never met her, therefore doesn't love her...oh man, I really can't wait for more!!!
Aisling09/22/2005 01:28 am
04/07/2005 @ 05:48 am Email URL "The soul was a moron" - i hink Angels a moron full stop LOL. more soon great update... come on Buffy get a move on xx
Franchesca09/22/2005 01:28 am
04/07/2005 @ 07:42 am Great chapter. I can't wait to see what direction this will take once Angel, Dru and Spike are together again. They will get together again, right? I just really like Dru and Angel as a couple.... which obviously leaves Spike and Buffy free to discover what they were truly meant to be.

04/11/2005 @ 09:26 pm so very cool. *hugs Rae*
Franchesca09/22/2005 01:25 am
04/11/2005 @ 10:40 pm Good for Buffy. Although I really like Giles and the development of his character on the show, I also like where he started from... Wesly-like sour-puss who thought Buffy was too much. You brought this character back to the beginning, which is something a lot of fanfic fails to do. I really like it.
Esther09/22/2005 01:24 am
04/12/2005 @ 02:19 am Email Whoa, I'm liking this Buffy! She's much stronger than her tv persona, and def. not gonna take crap from anyone....love it!! Great job!!

04/24/2005 @ 12:54 am Email What an intro for Spike and Buffy!!! HOT...HOT...HOT!!! Don't blame her either...I would have jumped his sexy body too...drool...that was awesome!! I love their instant attraction to each other....and Spike's inability to kill her....just wow!!! Can't wait for more!!!!
Aisling09/22/2005 01:22 am
04/24/2005 @ 03:42 am Email great chappy.. luved their first meeting LOL wonder what will happen when Buffy realises Spikes the one she's after cya xx

05/02/2005 @ 09:21 pm Email Loved the fic when I first read it...continuing to like it.. i'm saddened someone sent you a negative email..this fic is a lovely gift from your mind...and I appreciate it! keep writing!
Esther09/22/2005 01:21 am
05/03/2005 @ 02:54 am Email SQUEE!! Seems that their meeting has left both Spike and Buffy aroused, interested, and pissed...I love it!! And Buffy's reaction to Angel? PRICELESS!!! I was laughing with her, especially the comment about the hair gel, and it pleases me to no end that you've written her to hate Angel and lust over Spike...finally...blondie gets her first!!! Can't wait for more!!!
Aisling09/22/2005 01:20 am

05/11/2005 @ 11:28 pm Email Boy howdy, someone's in TROUBLE!!! Hehehe....I loved it!!! Buffy's musings about Angel are freaking hilarious!! (too bad she didn't feel the same during the show) And Ethan's just one evil little bug, isn't he? Oh, and the question about Giles/Ethan's friendship...very interesting...and with whole Angel/Dru thing too...Spike...what can I say...he's got it bad....can't wait for more!!!
oracleholly09/22/2005 12:48 am
08/24/2005 @ 11:09 pm Email *up to 17* Rae- great fic so far! Love the Ethan/Giles angle that you've played. Getting Buffy reunited with Joyce in Sunnydale; Angel irritated with Dru; Buffy & Dru having tea (lol); and then Spike asking to turn Buffy -- really great. looking forward to seeing what's next up your sleeve.
