Nice writing - now Willow and Giles will muck up everything.

Oh, I so hope Buffy retains her lessons in the face of Willow's arrival! Although Willow alway sseemed to be one of the least judgemental of the Scoobies, so maybe it'll be ok??? Really enjoying this story; can't wait to go read more of your work!
*pets* You already know the answer and thank you for the compliment. BFN!

Only a few more chapters left and I already hate to have it end. I love this story. A second chance for Buffy to get it right and Willow's about to come and muck it up. Great story!

If the demand is there? Oh, you betcha it is. This is a great story, and I'm glad to that I got to read it all in one setting originally. I would have gone crazy clamouring for each part.
LOL! You're so kind!

wonderful chappie
Thank you! You are certainly glomping this down! LOL

Now of course they don't follow directions. If Buffy wanted to talk to them she would have. And poor Mrs. Rose, she was just following her instincts to let someone know of the blood. I just hope that Buffy and Spike get a chance to talk before Willow busts in. And here is the hoping that Buffy sends her on her way as well.
I bet you know someone who always thinks that they know what's best for everyone - but rarely takes advice themselves? I know I do. And it often seemed to me that Buffy's friends treated her like a commodity instead of a person (but that changes depending on the wind direction and whatever humour I happen to be in!).

Rose is trying to do her best, poor woman. Are you getting that feeling that there just ain't enough time? LOL

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, letitia. Hope you will again.

I have really enjoyed this story so far. I can't wait to find out what makes this Spike so different from the Spike that died, and how he has a reflection.
Thank you, Michelle! The prequel will have a lot of answers (when I get it written) but some will be coming your way in this.

Thanks for reviewing and hope you continue to enjoy.

Question - why does he have a reflection? If he's a vamp, he shouldn't.

Otherwise, good start.
Ahh. Why does he have a reflection? Darned good question - but I'm not giving you an answer! LOL

Thanks for reviewing and hope you will read on to maybe find out about the reflection - or not!

Loved the chapter! I'm really looking forward to find out what happens next.
Thank you, Irina! Glad you're liking and there will be more soon.

Thanks for taking the time to review.

Oh no! The last thing that Buffy needs is for any of the Scoobies to show up! I just hope that it is only Willow that shows up and not the whole gang! I loved the update and the dream that Buffy had, I can't wait to see if she can actually follow thru and not let anyone come b/n them this time! Please update soon!
Thank you! Yep, certainly don't need interference right now. Wonder what will happen next? LOL

Thanks for reviewing and more up later - my later that is!

02/01/2006 11:47 pm
Love this!
Thanks, Patti! Am happy that you do and hope you will continue to like.

Thanks for reviewing.

Please don't let the others barge in and ruin everything. I'll cry!
Not trying to make you cry (looks round for help!).

So glad you are interested and taking the time to review. BFN.

Aww, your not dirty Spike!
Yikes! Are you worried that he's clean - or that he's clean! LOL

Thanks for leaving a few, poignant words, hun! Hope you come back tomorrow for more insights! Hugs, sweetie. xxx

I thought Spike got hit by the car.I'm still a little confused.
Update soon.
See, you should be able to look before I post to make sure that I'm not being too vague. Right. Buffy managed to push him out of the way at the end of chapter 3. Her dreams gave her the pointer that it could go either way. If you want send me an email and I'll be more than happy to fill in some of the big gaps that I'm sorta leaving folk to fill in. Okay?

Glad that you reviewed and hope to hear from you again. BFN.

Hey two updates in one day - you're spoiling us: )

I like this Spike and I hope Willow and Giles don't cause too much trouble when they find out about him.
Hi, Max! There have been some lovely reviewers on today and I've been overcome by a rush of sentimentality - and giving! Only have three more so will probably post two more tomorrow and one on Friday. This is my only complete fic so may as well give the darling folk who review what they ask for - may be my only chance!

If you think I would let anything cause too much trouble with our favourite pairing... Not gonna happen - but it may be close!

Thanks for leaving a line and hope you continue to do so. BFN.

You read me like an open book, i HATE drusilla. Good chapter, i'm defintly gonna keeping reading this story. But to be honest probaly not the prequel since i NEVER read submissve spike stories, wich it probaly would be if he's a fledgling around angelus in your AU. I will look forward to the sequel. Keep up the good work.

seeya
Thank you. Not exactly an open book but quite passionate in your response (passion's cool!). I'm a bit miffed that you would think I would deliver the expected! I like to imagine ('cos it's that time of night and I've started on the Sambuca) that I can sometimes think outside the box. But, if the prequel ain't your thing then just be sure to pop by for an ogle of the sequel. But give it a month or so, or so first.

Hope you continue to read and review. BFN.

I'm so happy that Buffy found a new Spike to love. However, if Giles and Willow arrive waving stakes and dogma around, Buffy will have to start fighting for him. More story please.
LOL! I think two chapters today had been mighty okay of me! Will try to give two more tomorrow so that the last comes in on Friday to leave your weekend curiousity free. Howzat?

Thanks for reviewing and be sure that I have my beady eye on the Council-connection. BFN.

Great chapter. Now that I know that this one is here, I will certainly be looking for it. I love the different Spike.
Thank you! Only three more chapters to go - but prequel and sequel planned for sometime in the future.

Look for more soon and I hope that you continue to comment. BFN.

I haven't read this chapter yet (just copied it into a word doc). But I am eagerly following this fic and one of my new years resolutions was to let authors know when I like their work.

Keep it coming,

Cheryl
LOL! Thank you, Cheryl! I find it a bit strange to hear that someone is saving my fic into Word! Very flattering.

Please do keep up your New Year's resolution - reviews are the only currency that a fanfic writer can earn - says the very new-to-this peep! But already I am getting to recognise and appreciate those that bother to leave a little (or a lot!) to give something back to the writer. So whenever you read a single chapter that you have something to say about - say it. I will always be gald to hear from you (especially if it's nice!). BFN.

Wasn't certain about this, although the summary and title kept tugging at me. Really am enjoying this, your style is evocative and lyrical and flowing beautifully, and I really can't wait to see what the rest of the story is like. Very good.
Thank you! You make me blush with your praise. Three more chapters to go and I hope you still feel the same way at the end.

Thanks for taking the time to review - you will know how important this is!

Nice update. I can't believe that Buffy and Spike's time together will be so quickly interrupted. Can't wait to read more. Thanks for the quick update.
LOL! The title should give you a bit of a clue - time is everything! You are so welcome about the quick update. Lovely and consistent reviews like yours are what makes it sweet. As I know I have this one in the bag I'm not gonna be against a bit of sweet talking. But Buyer is a WIP, so nothing will result from reviews except the encouragement to continue. Which is actually a big something if you think about it! LOL

Thanks for your time. Hope you continue to enjoy. BFN.

Beautiful and unique setup. Love this post-Chosen alternative universe. I have fallen in l*** with this selfless, vulnerable Spike. And I hope you keep Buffy strong against her so-called friends. Next chapter please...
Why thank you, Kittenuno. Am touched that you like so much. keep the faith - er, Buffy. Look for more very soon.

Thanks for reviewing - it's nice to hear from you.
