Hi loved this and Unreal Together totally awesome! - especially as i always avoid fics with Buffy as a vamp but you completely changed my mind :) I wouldn't have beleived these were your first stories so congrats :D

Any idea when the extension will be posted? I look foward to reading them :)

Well done and much love

Hi there.  I'm thrilled that you found UT and Soul Survivors.  Also, that you liked it : )  I'd read a few vamp!buffy stories a long while ago and some I enjoyed, otheres...not so much. 

I had no plans to write a vamp!buffy story, but it just kind of snuck up on me and I had to write it.

I still plan a third installment to the story.  If you are interested in Torch and Andra's story from the past, I've already written it and it can be found on my live journal.  A link in is my profile.

read this one again, a pleasure and I look forward to reading Torch and Andra's Story - I wish that he could have had a chance to stay with Andra -
Hi.  I'm thrilled that you liked the story enough to read it a second time!  I've got Torch and Andra's story finished and posted on my LiveJournal, if you want to read it. 
I hope to revisit this verse in the future.  I've got ideas.

Awesomely awesomely awesome! Especially impressed with your Scottish slang speak - all correct and not overdone (even native can do that sometimes, and it makes it nigh unreadable). brilliant series so far - look forward to any additions if they come!
Thank you!  I'm thrilled that you were impressed with the Scottish slang speak.  I truly didn't want to overdo it.   Thanks for reading!

Just wanted to say how much I loved both stories - I printed them out and read them yesterday evening ... yes, it was a late night - but worth it!!

Thank you

Thank you.  I've always dreamed of having my words in print : )  One day, maybe I'll get paid for original work, until them, reviews like yours is truly payment enough.  : )

Great ending to a great story.  I really enjoyed following this fic and I look forward to more.  

Faith and Willow were a nice surprise at the end - a combination perhaps not explored enough.  Will we see more of them in the next instalment? 

Thanks for writing; reading is a little escape from reality that keeps my sanity in check. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the story.  Yes there will be more Faith/Willow in the next installment.  I'm not saying how much or what exactly I have planned, but yes.

I know what you mean about reading being an escape.  I've added writing to my list of escapes, so I'm so glad we can escape together sometimes.  : )

Great ending. I wish Torch and Andra had gotten to be happy too but at least she can be comforted by the fact that he died to protect her and he was going to take steps to stay with her permanantly.
Thank you.  I'm so happy you liked the ending.  : )

What a journey for Buffy - she really came into her own , fit to be Spike's equal.  A fabulous story.

angel and andra? no, i like her way too much. good chapter, thank you.
In the third installment for the verse, Angel and Andra will meet.  I'm not saying what will happen when they do : )

How very sad for Andra.
I know. 17 and 18 were tough to write.  Well, Andra getting revenge was not as bad.

18. Survivors         
Thanks for the great update - knew that Quentin was not long for the world, but sorry to see that Andra might actually have let him get the upper hand at the end - if the CoW decides that turned Slayers are not to be trusted after all - Can't wait to see where you take this -
Thank you.  I had to let the poor girl get her revenge.  : )

Travers got his just rewards, thank goodness.  

"She's eternally walking around in the body of a fifteen year old.  She's exactly his type."  LOL!!!  I bet Andra's just the vamp to put Angel in his place - I would love to see them together.  

: )  Andra and Angel will surely be in the third installment of this verse.  I'm glad  you liked that line. 

04/07/2008 11:33 pm
18. Survivors         

OMG.. I can't believe it.  I had to read the last two chapters back to back and my heart just goes out to Andra..  But I have no love lost for Travers and the rest. 

Sorry for the shock, but at least Andra got her revenge/justice.  : )  *hugs*

It's good to see Travers get what he deserves.  The line about Andra wanting the taste of his blood gone but needing it perfectly captured her emotions at that point. 

Good Giles and Spike bonding time too :)
Thank you.

18. Survivors         
<i>"Now she realized that he was right. Better to be consumed by the power of intense love than to be consumed by the world at large."</i>  Oh so true.  That's what happened to Buffy in S6, the world ate her up and spit her out.  She didn't see the big picture for it.

 <i>“She’s eternally walking around in the body of a fifteen year old. She’s exactly his type.”</i> Oh so true also LOL.  Yup, just what Angel would love...only problem is it might make him TOO happy!

Poor Andra (and I really hate losing Torch).  Maybe there are more souled vamps than even the one (that I think is still out there).

Excellent update as always.    Love the relationships developing.  Hope Giles covers for Andra lest the Council rethink it's decision.  Rather hard  to overcome years of dogma.

Kathleen
Thank you.  I hate losing Torch as well : (  

04/07/2008 05:20 pm
18. Survivors         
Wonderful chapter, justice was served.  I have to say, I find the idea of Andra and Angel very interesting, if not a little amusing. Looking forward to more!
Thank you!  I find the idea of the two of them interesting and amusing as well.  LOL!

terrible to have such an interesting character dusted so soon. very good  read, thank you.
Yes, it was hard for me to write.  I'm currently working on a story that features Torch about the past, because I couldn't let the character go.  : )

04/11/2008 08:29 am
17. Watching Their Backs         
I think Torch pretty much proved you don't have to have a soul to be selfless. And Travers proved that even the ensouled can be petty and selfish.
Yep.  That's what I was trying to get across : )

Oh, how sad!! :(

I really liked Torch - he was such an interesting new character.  I hope they can all help Andra get through this. 
I'm glad you liked Torch and I'm very sorry that I did what I did to him : )

Started your sequel last night - wonderful story - I really like the new characters you introduced - hope that you can bring us an update soon.

Not Torch!  I knew Travers resigning wouldn't be that easy, but I didn't know there would be casualties so soon :(

Other than the unfortunate death, I really enjoyed this chapter.  Buffy and Spike's fun at the beginning was great, especially Spike not wanting to talk on the phone naked haha.  It's nice to see them so comfortable and at ease with each other.
I'm sorry about Torch.  I really liked him to, but I just had to write the story the way I saw it in my head. 

I'm glad you liked the chapter.  I really like writing fun, happy scenes for Buffy and Spike.  I'm glad you liked reading it. 

04/05/2008 06:18 pm
17. Watching Their Backs         
I'm so sorry to see Torch die, I was growing fond of him and looking forward to hearing more about him. Poor Andra.  Can't wait for the next update!
I'm sorry to see him gone, too.  It was not easy to write.  More coming very soon.

04/05/2008 12:24 pm
17. Watching Their Backs         

I hope this sacrifice by Torch broadens the Council's view of vampires.  And what will Andra do?

What will Andra do?  Good question...

No!!! He killed Torch! Bad bad horrible nasty man (the other words of choice just aren't appropriate). Great update though.
Thank you.  It was really hard to write Torch's death, but like you, I hate Travers even more than before. 

Totally loving it. Thanks :-)

lol  Lydia is putty in Spike's hands.  New glasses and a kiss on the hand?!  You really crack me up! :)

The Andra/Torch relationship is bittersweet, especially set against Buffy/Spike.  They are obviously still passionate about each other.  I wonder how he would handle getting a soul?  He has so much more guilt and angst to deal with than Spike did.

Looking forward to the Council meeting.  They don't know about Torch, but it seems to me he's planning to be there....
I'm glad you enjoyed Lydia's scenes with Spike.  If I was a character in BTVS, I think I would have been Lydia.  : )  I'm the studious type and have a little thing for bad boys that I keep underwraps in RL.  LOL! 

04/04/2008 03:47 am

I really do hope they figure out they were setup by Travers... And Torch is thinking of making the journey for Andra?  Awesome

16. Bloomin' Idiots         
Excellent chapter.  The Council seem more open minded than I expected, though Travers is bound to have at least one like-thinker on board.  Dirty deeds afoot!  Tosh and Andra are interesting -  vamped much longer than Spike and Buffy but able to learn from them.
Thanks.  I'm glad you find my OC vamps interesting.  As you read the next chapter, you will see that you were right about Travers.  .  .

04/03/2008 05:27 am
16. Bloomin' Idiots         
The Council meeting was quite fun to read, and the "Uncle George" lines were hilarious.  Torch and Andra are great characters, and it's nice to see a softer side to him.  I'm rooting for them :)

On another note, I'm not looking forward to see what Albert and Travers are going to cook up.  I know it's going to be highly unpleasant :(

I'm so glad you liked the "Uncle George" line.  : )  Thanks for the review.

okay, Torch and Anda are just too funny.  I am so glad that Buffy got a chance to meet her and the council are going to have a cow if they do get a chance to meet her as well.

What a great update!  It's funny that Foster simply asks Buffy if she has a soul as if that's proof (since vampires are known for their honesty).  Very interesting thought about it being temporary--guessing this is where Andra comes in.  Love her interactions with Torch, and I'm very curious as to how she fights crime.
Thank you.  I'm so pleased that you liked it! 

More Torch and Andra coming up.  And of course our favorite heroes, too. 

I won't give anything away, but Andra's crime fighting comes into play in a later chapter...

Thanks for the update.  This story is GREAT!  I love the fact that two master vampires and two slayers-turned-vamp were hiding out in a bathroom! lol
I can't quite remember, but wasn't Lydia the watcher who did her thesis on William the Bloody?  lol  Spike's in for a treat!  I hope he toys with her again.
Looking forward to more.
 

*extremely large smile*  Thanks for the nice words. 

If I was just writing pwp, imagine how the bathroom scene would have gone.  LOL! 

Yes, Lydia is the watcher who did her thesis on William the Bloody.  We can take a trip to London to confront the watchers without visiting Lydia.  : )

I hope you like the next chapter.

Thank you.  The fun day has been cut short due to illness.  With a large family, this is a regular thing.  We were planning on going to the Zoo, but two of them can't go out into the sun because of meds they are on.

Doing my commenting here as I remembered the strike on LJ.  Not that upset over current issue and have commented here and there but want to be supportive so stopped myself....but on to IMPORTANT things like your lovely update!

I am guessing that Spike is planning a family jewel to replace the skull ring of engagement LOL.  I always felt William WOULD have saved sentimental things of his human life.  It would be out of character if he did not.  I'd love it if the house were not just still there but available in some way....call ME sentimental.

I can just see him pointing things out while in the EYE and the other couples enjoying his knowledge.  Good thing they aren't eating off the hoof because that ride would have been the perfect set up for lunch with a view!  Shows they aren't a threat too (so there Council!).

You did a splendid job of describing their first tour...made it seem real to the armchair traveler.  Thanks!

Duh duh duh!! Great chapter. Love the idea of Spike smarming the pants of the social worker!
: )  Thank you.  I never understood why the women/girls in the show didn't fall at his feet in adoration.  He's hot.  Miss Irma Barns knows it and he was wearing geek clothes.  LOL!

love love love how they are all working together to help Buffy and Dawn. And they made it all happen quickly.  And really why in the world would Angel show up right now?? AUGH he is killing me.
I'm so glad you liked the family stuffy.  I had fun writing it. 

Why would Angel show up?  Stay tuned to find out.  *G*

lol  Angel reacted as if he'd seen a ghost!  Great new twist, can't wait to see where it will lead.

 

LOL!  He did, didn't.  It's so much fun to shake Angel up.  I'm glad you like it and that your are reading.  Thanks for letting me know.

Stay tuned  to find out : )

Poor Spike still not confident that he is anything much more than convenient really.  He is tip toeing around his wants for fear she'll look elsewhere.  I hope she finally realizes how she has done a number on his self esteem and reassures him....."I love you" alone isn't going to do the job.

Xander is trying to adjust his thinking, I'll give him that.  Too bad he is taking so long to get rid of his old ideas.

Looking forward to Buffy finally accepting that there was nothing wrong in loving Spike in his soulless state and letting him know too.  The diary may help. 

Love this story.

Things are looking up.  Just hope the evil social services lady is a typical Sunneydale resident and can't see what's right in front of her! 
Will Xander ever get over the Spike/Anya indiscretion?  I think he'd have to accept responsibility for his own actions first, and he still seems far from doing that.   
It's always easier to blame your problems on the evil vampire, don't ya know?  Xander is alone, yet Spike got the girl, so I think there's a little bit of bitterness going on.  Yeah.

I am beyond curious about what Giles thinks he's going to find in those books!  I am hoping answers are on the way!  Glad to see Buffy getting stronger and wondering if her previous slayer status will have any more effects than just the soul.  Interesting way to introduce Anya back into the group, but I'd really like to see Buffy just let go of the anger because she got the vamp.
I'm thrilled that you are curious.  It's what I was going for when I wrote it : )  And yes, answers are on the way.

Good Lord he's an idiot!  First with the questions, the emotions, and failing to see Buffy's soul.  Then with the she's never gonna have a normal life anyway and I won't lose my soul so we can be together now.  I'm glad Buffy handled it the way that she did, but I wish she had stayed within earshot of Spike so he could hear her choose him over Angel. 
LOL.  He's an idiot indeed.  Thanks for reading.

02/28/2008 09:22 am
5. Sherlock Gets a Clue         

Angel? Pot. Kettle. I think he's all about the chase, and if he could actually "have" Buffy, she just wouldn't be as interesting to him.

I'm with you on that.  : )

I am just so glad that buffy got some closure with Angel.  Now Angel might not see it that way. And what in the world will she find when she gets back to the crypt?  Love the chapter.

Someone thinks he's the grandest prize in all the land.  So glad Buffy told him off, but I really hope that little seed he planted doesn't grow any.  Hopefully, Angel hasn't mucked things up too much for them.

For a detective , he's really clueless. I hope he hasn't screwed anything up for them.
: )  Yes he is.  I think the last thing he thought he'd find when he drop to Sunnydale was a turned Buffy.  And I don't think his brain can compute the possibility that she'd choose Spike over him.  But she did...

4. Hello, Buffy         
Geez, just what Vamp!Buffy needs... Angel!  I really hope the large foreheaded one doesn't jump to conclusions about her current undead state or who turned her.  Who am I kidding?  He's Angel, of course he will!  Think I miss Buffy's slayer strength almost as much as she does!  It's hard to think of her as helpless even if she does have a slayer and a master vampire to watch her back.
I'll be looking forward to knowing what you think of the next chapter : )

I think that one of the things I liked about Buffy was that the sum of her strength was not in her physical abilities.  She had an inner strength that set her apart as well.  The good thing is, as the years go by, vamp!buffy will be as strong as she ever was, so it's not permanent.

4. Hello, Buffy         
I'm really enjoying this story.  I rarely encounter Faith in the stories I read, which is too bad, as I generally like her. 
I'm so glad you are enjoying it.  Thanks for letting me know. 
I like Faith, too.  I always felt for her.  But I have this thing for the bad guys.  Hence my obsession with Spike. 

02/22/2008 02:24 am

very good conversation between buffy and faith. very good way to bring everyone down to earth (or lower): "Hello, Buffy." very good read, thank you.

I so love Dawn's ability to put things into perspective!  And there was  even more protective Spike!  Thanks for the best friend moment!  It was so great to see Buffy and Willow being honest with each other and talking like they used to.  I'm really curious about this book Giles is supposed to get.  Really hope there will be some scenes with Spike and Xander trying to work together in the basement!
Thank you.  I'm glad you liked the chapter : )

Excellent conversations all round - and Dawn's snappy comeback really aced Xander.  Nice chapter.

Thank you.  After I wrote that line, I reread it and had a good laugh. 

I worried about this chapter being boring because it was just a bunch of people sitting around talking and not much action.  I'm glad people are liking it : )

2. Family Dinner         
I really love protective Spike!  Also like how Faith is comfortable enough with this situation to come up with a plan for Buffy and Spike to move in.  Glad to see Xander trying but wish he had better table manners!  Hoping for a best friend moment with Buffy and Willow on the porch!
I'm glad you like what I'm doing with them.  Perhaps Xander's table manners is why he seems to only be able to attract demons.  Scratch that--too offensive to the demons.  LOL!  I promise to not overly bash any of the scoobies, but I will do my best to write them in character.  

You're hope is my command.  : )  Well, the next chapter was written weeks ago, but I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that best friendliness coming up.

02/15/2008 12:16 am
2. Family Dinner         
I am glad that Faith has stepped in.  And I just love the little possesive Buffy.  She is just going to have to work on her control a little.  Dawn needs all three of them right now.  I just hope that Spike can figure out what Giles is up to.  Awesome chapter.
Thank you.  I love possessive Buffy, too.   Control is something every fledge has to contend with and she'll get it.

I'm so glad you are reading.

02/14/2008 07:20 pm

I think I'd rather stay in the crypt if I were them - especially with Giles being so odd.
We'll have to see what their decision is...  : )

1. Imagine the Hell         
So glad you decided to write the sequel!  I love the way you're writing all of the characters!  Their speech and actions all seem very true to the originals.  I especially love Buffy's ability to go from worried to carefree in the presence of Spike and the way Faith has really taken on the role of responsible slayer.  I have a feeling this is going to be even better than the 1st,and I'm excited to see what you have in store!
I'm so glad you are reading the sequel!  Thank you!

02/12/2008 05:24 am
1. Imagine the Hell         
It is just so nice to see Buffy actually living right now.  She had to die to live.  I am glad that Faith is taking things in stride and even Buffy/Spike and Dawn have made some type of unconventional family relationship.  I just hope that they can figure out Giles and how they can get the coucil really off of them once and for all.  Xander can really just kiss my @ss... He just can't let things go and move forward.   Just a great chapter and I am happy to see the verse continue.
I'm glad you like my verse and you got the theme of the whole thing with "She had to die to live".   Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.  : )
