This is a very interesting tale, which i am finding i enjoy very much indeed. i love how you switch around the names of Angel and Drusillawith the new spellings. and the entire concept- something i have never seen before and am delighted to explore. i shall loook forward to reading this tale. if i do not review every chapter, you must forgive me, since i usually am too anxious to continue reading if other chapteers are already posted. the fact that i am reviewing this first chapter when most is available to me - miracle. anyways, love the story and can't wait to see where it goes.

Thank you Liz. Yes I've enjoyed playing with the names, in the tradition of fantasy books I've toyed with spellings for the Aurelians - cos hey aliens! Mostly left the human spellings alone (well so far anyway), and Spike of course, after all why tinker with perfection ;) Any reviews are welcome, I certainly won't expect one for every chapter.

I'm already enjoying this unique universe and the clever dialogue in this entertaining start.  The sharply written characters and vividly described scenes  are making this universe come to life.
 
Hope I can strike the balance in dialogue between familiar and alien Spike to be halfway believable. probably won't succeed but as long as you don't mind going with the flow then I'm happy. Thank you.

exciting to have such a different treatment - hooked on this story right away - nice work.  Looking forward to reading your story, hope that it will be a long piece and that you will be able to bring updates on a regular basis - Good Luck with your new work, really great to have all our beloved characters in totally new environments -  On to the next chapter now.
The way my brain is going on this I think it will be some chapters to go before its done. Apologies if the updates aren't as quick as you (or I) would like them. Thanks for all your nice comments.

Hope you like her - she was a bit tricky - I mean who wants to get inside her head?

Oooh, love this! New concept; can't wait to see where you take it; please update again soon; I'm intrigued! Especially love the spelling "Droosilla"; makes me think of all the times Harmony butchered Dru's name!! LOL! Eagerly awaiting your next chapter!
Ah there you are! Hugs reviewer

This is definitely a new take on things. I am excited to find out what happens next!
Hi Nikki - glad you like - am finding it quite liberating not to be tied to the series at all - just this once.

This is good! Very original and I cant wait for the next chapter!
Thank you Kristen

Great premise and excellent writing. The thing with Spike's uniform is downright spookie.
I have a theory about that - I think that both me and the costume designer on Torchwood have a thing for Sean Bean in a British TV series called Sharpe - set in the Napoleonic wars. Just a thought.

I'm very glad to see this story, again. I really liked it and I hope that you have enough inspiration to keep writing this.
I do I promise. Love this genre and glad that I bagged this challenge on Spuffy Haven.Years of poring over SciFi and Fantasy books not entirely wasted after all.

Very interesting so far, I'm hooked. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Glad you like it. Next chapter up now. Yay.

This story is already very interesting, and I am looking forward to reading more. This is a very interesting concept, and I think you have the potential to really show Spike and Buffy's characters and attitudes. Can't wait for more!
Thanks! Its a challenge to make Spike like himself without the lines and references that we are so familiar with. Draw the line at 'frelling' and other alternative words - you'll just have to forgive me if a few Earth-isms(?) sneak in.

Interesting start but I would really like more info on how Spikes kind looks, I mean I don't think that they are the same Vampires that you see on the show right? Maybe you are keeping that for later but I think it needs to be established here in the beginning. Now there is mention of a clawed hand and yellow eyes and fangs but still that leaves a lot of room for how they would look.
Food for thought - thank you! I'll address their physical description more fully later. So easy to make assumptions that the reader has the same picture images in their head as the writer. Hope you'll stick with me though.
