Excellent start! I can just see the shock in the faces at the last action.
Couldn't resist that! :D  Thank you for liking it!

     This was a very good story - except for one thing: how the heck could Buffy be any skinnier than she was?
I know! :D  She got leaner in S7 though.  When you look at pictures of her at the end of S4, then S7, her face was softer and clearly younger and there's a difference in body shape, so I pushed it here to stress the difference.  I'm so glad you like the story!  Thank you!

Oh yeah. Now that is how I like to see Buffy say hi to Spike.
I couldn't resist it :D  Thank you!

Well well well. It's nothing of the unexpected but that's not a problem.
I think her reaction at the end (PDA) is a little ... weird. But I'll see how you continue the story line in the next chapters.
Good work so far!
She has a chip on her shoulder and wants to freak the Scoobies.  :D

Originally, I was going to skip over this story thinking it wasn´t up my ally.  However I changed my mind and am so glad I did.  I LOVED the first chapter.  The Buffy-champion in me loves stories where she gets the chance to assert herself with the Scoobies.  I´m not about character bashing, but Buffy standing up for herself again.  So looking forward to futureBuffy and her maturity messing with the minds of the pastScoobies, et al. lol 

And yeah, Buffy´s greeting of Spike was...HOT!  Off to read chapter 2. :)
I agree about Buffy standing up for herself.  I can't understand why she lets them push her around like that.  I'm so glad you're liking it!  Thank you!

 I love it!
Thank you!

Hee!  Well, that should give them all something to rant about for a good couple of hours. :)  Be interesting to see how this Spike reacts to that comment.
That's the fun part! :D

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!, *squeals like a teenage girl*. When I got a e-mail saying "There`s a new chapter on the bloodshedverse titled blah blah blah by dreamweaver" I screamed. My boyfriend was like "wtf?", lol. This was just perfect, the ending sentence was sooo yummy :D. Next chapter, here I come!
This one was so much fun to write - just playing :D  I'm so glad you're liking it!

I think we have a winner!  LOL.  I rarely read WIP anymore, but I love this first chapter and I'm looking forward to reading more. 
The story is complete.  I'm just putting a chapter up a day as I get each one cleaned up.  I'm so glad you're liking it!

He he, they're stuck with a Buffy that isn't going to take their crap... oh the possibilities.

-
“He’s right,” said Angel softly. He and Spike exchanged hostile but understanding glances. “He can’t fight back. If he could, you’d have been dead the minute you laid a hand on him. I don’t like him any more than you do, Finn. But anyone who hits a man who’s under that kind of handicap is a bully and a thug.”
-

Couldn't have said it better. One of my biggest disappointments was how NOBODY had any problem with the "good guys" acting like they did when they knew Spike couldn't fight back.

That bothered me too - how abusive the Scoobies are.  They're terrified of Spike when he doesn't have a chip, but shove him around when he can't hurt them.  I've despised Riley ever since he shoved that fake stake into Spike's heart.  That was torture, the way I see it!

Yay! Another story!
Love it so far!
I wanted to throttle your 'future' scoobies and Angel (though, loved how the 'present' one stood up for Spike, albeit grudgenly). Leave it to them to put what they think Buffy wants before what she actually wants. Loved when she flipped at them- took her freaking long enough. I would have kicked them to the curb long ago.
Wow are they ever in for a suprise. This Buffy is nothing like there's- I love how, in true fashion, Spike is the only one who expects her to be different. Scoobies are always in lala land aren't they?
And her greeting to Spike? AWESOME! I CANNOT wait for next chapter to see those reactions.

Ps- I love your fluff and am siked that you decided to put it up.
This is Buffy with a chip on her shoulder. :D  The Scoobies are going to have to wake up.  I'm so glad you're liking it, because this one is just fun!

Perfectly wonderful! I love the interjection of the older, more self-possessed Buffy.  Really lookingforward to seeingwhat happens.  I love fireworks!
Fireworks will be coming up. :D  Thank you for liking this!

Hi. Am a big fan of your stories and was really pleased to see that you're publishing a new one.
From the looks of the first chapter I reckon we Spuffy fans are going to enjoy the fun! Roll on the rest of the story!
Thank you!  This one is fluffy and just for fun :D

Oh, can it be tomorrow now?  PLEASE???  PLLLLEEEAASSSEEE????  AWESOME, loved the 'Scarlett' line (favorite movie EVER) and I loved how except for Anya & Tara, Buffy was terribly dismissive of the rest of them.  And then how she greeted Spike???  AMAZING!!!!  I CANNOT WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!
Oh, I'm so glad you like it!  Thank you!  Next chapter's up right now.

Oh I absolutely LOVE this. Sets some nice opportunities for the Story, for lots of conflicts and twists.
Thank you for liking it!  This one is going to be fun.

"hello lover"? that's just super! Hope Buf will check in with Dawn and Joyce, will they be part of the story as well? poor Spike, must be confused as hell.
Joyce will turn up, but not Dawn since the monks haven't created her yet.  It's just the end of Season 4.   Thank you for liking this!

Heh. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, doesn't it? Only those who've died get the full sunny-Buffy treatment.

Excellent start. I can't wait to find out just how resistant Spike is going to pretend to be! I always love your "do-over" stories, and this is shaping up to be the best yet!
Buffy always seems to value only what she has lost.  *sigh*  This story's just fluff, but I'm having a lot of fun with it.  I'm so glad you like it!

Oh my, I think the excrement hit the fan there! I am very much looking forward to seeking how Angel, the Scoobies and Spike deal with a Buffy who's decided to be her own woman. I think I will enjoy the ride!

Thank you for sharing your work!
Chip-on-the-shoulder Buffy.  :D  So much fun to write.  I'm so glad you're enjoying this!

OMG... They are gonna explode.  Yes!!!   (Do the Snoopy dance of happiness.)  Love it as always.  Have you ever written anything that isn't first rate?

You just love those wicked cliff hangers.  Oh well, now I have something in my life too look forward to.  (I know I'm pathetic,) but your story(s) are awesome.

Thanks again,


Oh, wow!  Thank you!  But this one's just fluff - I hope you won't be disappointed.  Blame the cliffhangers on Joss - way to make 'em come back after the commercial, right?  :D

Goddess, that was just lovely! I can use some fluffy right about now... and happy Spuffy is my favorite! Can't wait to see what you have in store for my OTP.
This one's not serious at all, just happy fluffy!  :D  Thank you for liking it!

Yeah, I totally squeed when I saw a new fic from you.

I cannot wait to see how this one plays out. You have a real tallent. Your writing never fails to suck me in.
Thank you!  This one is fluff, but so much fun to write!

Here is what i love about Dreamweaver... Your stories ideas are great. the writing is condensed, succint, and you don' make us wait forever for another longwinded chapter,  that doesn't move the story forward. Hot diggity dawg!Your story chapters come along in a very timely manner and are never just filler.  I am very glad to read that you have other stories in the works, Spuffy I hope?! 
  I hope my blunt praise doesn't offend any authors out there, I love almost all the great stories out there, I am stunned by all the hard work that goes into this artwork for nothing more than personal satisfaction and reviews.  i just love knowing that dream weaver is not going to be absent with the rest of her wonderful story. Thank you!!!!
I'm so glad you're liking this!  Thank you!  This one is just fun.  I like the stories to have punch, so I keep them tight, with no filler.  The next chapter will be up tomorrow and there'll be one every day as I get them cleaned up and proofed.
