Great time travel story - I really love how you took Buffy back with the great gift of her second chance at having her love and life with Spike and at the same time not having the story go through the past events.  The events you chose were just right to touch back to some of the most significant events for all the characters in the history of the series and still making this read like new adventures.  

Well Done - it's not every story that you re-read that gives you as much enjoyment as the first reading.  

Great reading this one again - I've read this three times now and enjoyed it just as much.   One of my favorite time travel stories.

This was just what I needed.  A funny, touching story where Buffy asserts herself, enjoys herself and is just as full of life as she always wanted to be.  I laughed out loud so many times... it was great.  Very uplifting and lighthearted without being sugary 'air'. 

Thank you

LOVE IT

I enjoyed reading all of Second Youth with all my heart. luckily my first -complete- reading was on a weekend. I could barely step away from my computer, even if my eyes hurt :D
I'm guessing you are a professional writer or a very,very  tallented amateur teen. anyway, wow! 
just wow

great stories. this is all I've been doing this Sunday, reading "Second youth" 

Just discovered this fine Spuffy fic, & I have only two tiny complaints: One of course is that it ended. Two? would have been a lot more fun if Spike had thrown Angel a beating as he did in "Destiny". As for Riley..? humilation would have to suffice. (would've been nice if Buffy staked him with a plastic stake...) You're handling of Warren, however, was beyond brilliant!! Sending him to prison with Spike's chip..? PURE GENIUS! On the Spuffy scale of 1 to 10..? 13.75.

Bravo!

Great second reading - and I like your happy ending for Buffy and the solution to The Slayers - First Evil arc.

Why, exactly, did you choose to have what happened to Willow happen?

I can't help but notice that this story the same thing that the real season 6(and earlier) had.  They talk AT Willow instead of with her.  They lecture instead of teach.  They warn of vague boogeymen instead of legitimate problems.  No one ever mentioned people like Rack to Willow.  In fact I think Buffy nearly killed him, but doesn't even mention him to Willow that I saw.  It's like people expecting Reefer Madness to be an effective anti-drug message.

How exactly does a "witchy" Buffy, who knows what happened to Willow justify keeping it a secret  instead of working with her?

Despite the fact I really don't like the ending, it's a good fic :)

Again: you can be proud of yourself!

Absolutely loved it. keep up the good work

Oh that was great.

I read the whole thing last night in one go. Totally hilarious! I was laughing out loud over & over again. This will definitely be bookmarked. Thanks!

Excellent fic!

Yo, great fic here. Happy!Buffy is a good Buffy. I really liked the angst wasn't hard core and Buffy was light and happy. Spike was good in this as well. Loved that you made Buffy and Anya be better friends too. All around this was a damn good fic. Awesome.

This is one of the funniest and best fics I have ever read... and I've read a lot! So wonderful to have a cheerful carefree Buffy willing to own her feelings... what a difference it made! If only it could have been Amanda... or Rona... or Vi... Molly's accent was atrocious!

lol...good ending to a well-told story...love that they managed to avert disaster with the first....great story all around :)

I had trouble believing you were going to be able to make a happy season six, but congrats you did. Great fluffy goodness:D I have finished this story in this one day; i had trouble walking away. Sorry for the short and quite possible incoherent review, but going on 3 and a half hours of sleep is wearing me down. Great job, and I'm sure ill be reading more of you soon:D

LOL, just wish it had been VI :(

well, only several months or so behind everyone else i've finally finished this! loved this fic so much and i'm off now to read the sequal! yay!

This was recommended in livejournal's buffyverse top 5. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop - it was that good! I read it all in one go. Made me laugh out loud several times. Loved the characterisations. Well done!

I know I've already read this but I had the sudden urge to read it all again, fabulous! You really are a very talented writer.

Hee, I really liked this story! It was very fun to read. :D

Great story. And yay Molly!

that's the end? great story...but...that's the end? :(

yes I loved it but I desperately need a sequal :P
