Intriguing start. I love the banter between the various characters. The snarky, witty dialogue was always one of the things I loved about the series, and you've captured that brilliantly. I'm looking forward to more.
the dialogue was always my favorite, too, and i'm glad to hear i pulled it off *grins*

Good story so far. Update soon. I love Portal!Buffy. I wonder if she'll get Regular!Buffy and Spike together.
*cackles* ah, that's the question!

Excellent start here. Will be interesting what this visiting Buffy tells and does not tell to this group. YAY on the Eddie rescue.

Oh what a wonderful start! Here's hoping FutureBuffy can head off the travesty that is Buffy/Riley and show the benefits of accepting Spike. Can't wait for more.
that'd be the plan, and thanks

I love this story! What a fantastic start. I cannot wait to read more!! I love your funny, snarky banter between S4 Spike and Buffy that had a layer of friendship underneath. :)
thanks! glad i pulled off the funny; i clicked the "comedy" tab with no little trepidation

Great beginning to a time-travel fic. I like how you're focusing on the characters in the past, not the all-knowing future characters going back in time. That Portal-Buffy is so open and friendly, not bitter and cynical, after eleven years of slaying makes me think we'll be discovering her past along with the original Buffy and Spike and I'm fascinated by it.
That little hint of Spike's feelings after he explains about Clem's family and Buffy instantly decides to help the child, demon or not, is beautifully done. It's not glaringly obvious or love-at-first sight, and it's realistic. The banter and patrolling together and awe Spike shows at Buffy's decision about Eddy is a great start to a romance.
Hope you update soon, this story sounds like it'll get very interesting very soon with the Initiative skulking around!
*grins* stay out of my head!!!
glad you're liking it, and that my pseudo-subtlety meets with your approval.

Nice start looking forward to more of this tale.
thanks, and more's a-coming

Let's hear it for Buffy the independent thinker, not buying the Council line on demons.
*grins* yup. see, she can change, she can grow! ...

11/10/2007 02:30 pm
so far so good on the new story, i'll keep an eye out for more.
cheers; 'm not sure which i'll update next, but something should be coming soon.

11/10/2007 02:07 pm
Oh, that was really good; nice to see Spike and Buffy getting along sort of!! You've got Spike's voice down to a T, and I love the banter between the two of them; please update again soon!!
i've been writing so much recently that my inner monologue sounds vaguely spike-ish, so i'm glad it's carrying over. glad you enjoyed.

Very nice start to what looks like and interesting story, thanks.
thanks

Interesting start, I'm enjoying this so far. Stupid Initiative, who cares if he's a demon? He's still just a kid, but they only seem to live in a black and white world. I'm glad Buffy helped distract them, so Spike could get him out of there. I'm guessing by future Buffy's reaction that Spike isn't with her in the future, but I could be wrong. I also really love time travel fictions. Can't wait for more=)
thanks for the vocal-ness *grins*
and portal-spuffy's relationship is still up in the air. eh, we'll see.
