I have read A LOT of spuffy fics and I have to say yours was amazing. You captured the personalities beautifully. The different depths that each character had to reach for. I loved that you still followed canon considering alot of times the authors immediately veer off once spike and buffy have sex. A truly wonderful story, Thank you.

Wonderful story - it just kept getting better and better with each new season, new heart ache, new giving of pain and suffering and to their final full expression of their love.  While it was always hidden from their public lives, from themselves even, it was always there waiting with each passing year to bring them love at the end.

 

OH god the ending is so beautiful.I love it

Oh my god.. This is actually one of the saddest and most beautiful stories I've ever read. Great work!

I loved it, I feel like crying for Spike at the end.

Beautifully written! Last chapter was so sad. enjoyed this story very much! thank you.

oh my God...you seriously have tears rolling down my face...that ending, after the whole story, was just so powerful and beautiful and heartbreaking...i love it... :) thanx for an amazing read :)

omg - one more? please?
can't the scar 'activate' again after he comes back from the amulet thing? OMG. It's the cure-all!

Anywho - i love the series.
Very sexy. :D

Beautifully written, there was poetry in the lines. But so sorrowful & bittersweet. You really provoke strong emotions in every chapter - there was such longing here, I could almost cry. Well done, Sweetheart. :)

this was a great story; a different twist on things. however, i think you should have a maximum angst warning attached to it. i was so sad reading it, even with the hotness that is spuffy. so sad - wahhh - why can't they ever just get to be together?? sniff - god. but again, wonderfully written story, thanks so much for writing it.

Beautiful. Heartbreaking. That's all I can say.

I waited to read this until it was finished and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. It was lovely. You did an excellent job of blending your remarkable story idea with canon and making it work for five seasons. I love the slow build up of Spike's love, the way he fought it in the beginning. I love Buffy's recognizing how much he's been to her and telling him - even if she did think he wasn't listening. A lovely, sad but beautiful ending to a great series.

This last chapter was awesome. I'm so sad to see this story end. I loved it. I hope you do a Christmas story.

That was gorgeous, beautiful, and so sad! Know how it ends, and this just made that little scene more real. In my mind, that's exactly what Buffy was thinking before the end. Wonderful job, and I'm totally gonna miss this fic. And thank you for writing such a beautiful Spuffy story.

Ohhh..... *whimpers and runs off* You meanie... that was sad and and... there needs to be a sequel. Yeah. *pouts*

A beautiful end to a tragic story. Wonderful, even if there isn't a happy ending this time *sniiffles*

Need the tissues now. Thanks for the story.

great read, thanks

Great story, just a few chapters that spand the entire BtVS series and really does it well. I'm almost hoping for a sequel set after this. Good job and I'll look forward to whatever else you will write next

A wonderfully written conclusion. I know this is a story I'll be reading again, and I'll be keeping my eye out for whatever you write next.

I know that I should be working but I was just checking what was new out there and here is the epilogue. I am just glad that she said it and that he heard her. Great way to end this wonderful story.

Oh, you wicked woman. You've made me cry and I so meant not to. I think this may well be the best you've written so far - I can't wait to see where you go next (but please don't make me cry again!). Thank you sincerely for a beautiful, sad and haunting ride. Hugs you. XXX

 

breathtakingly heartbreakingly sad and beautiful and sexy all at once...off to read the end :)

I knew this story had to end, and I don't think you could have ended it any better if you tried. It was beautiful, usually I have something funny to say, however, All I can say is I've looked for and enjoyed your writing so much. I can't wait to see what's next

As always an excellent chapter. I can't believe that she would still go to him, but I am glad that she knows exactly who she is and who she can count on. Even if it started out weird, it is still there.

I am just so addicted to this cracking series. It sums up all the pain and want and need. Will be sad when it's finished - or maybe not. Looking forward to the rest. Thanks.

Oh sweetie, argh! Bittersweet ending in such a killer way....I know, I'm an old romantic somewhere under my cynical shell :) But bravo, cherie, bravo.

Eeeep.... *flops over and throws a tantrum* Why are you so mean to us? LoL

Nice to know there's still a tradition, even after death. Waiting for the big finale and hoping for the happy ending.

Oh wow, that was beautifully bittersweet, and so heart-rendering. Damn Scoobies can't let the girl live, and now she's breaking both her own and Spike's hearts....gah...can't wait for more!! Wonderful chapter!!

Omg! *Cries and sobs horribley* You weren't wrong. God damnit, where's my tissues!?!? The way she just brushes him off at the end! GRR! I could hurt that stupid, idiotic Buffy!!! Poor Spike's going to be devestated. And you so can't leave it there. I demand more! Great chapter as always *huggles*

Marvelous as always. I keep thinking that the formula will grow stale, or that when they pull apart after a Halloween, it's going to feel contrived. It never has. Well done.

Another excellent chapter. THis story just gets better and better. I like that fact that the pact no longer srivers their feelings. Thanks again. I can't wait to see what happens next.

 

okay, *that* made me seriously cry..evil scoobies, despise them...poor spike..can't wait for more ;)

Wow, that was beautiful. You are so amazing. I love this. I am dreading and excited about this sunday, because I want to read, but I know it's going to be the last one, but I still can't wait.

Love this story! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Angsty! Will he get his scar back when Willow rips her out of heaven?

Hmmm, and maybe she'd have let him in if he'd actually taken care of her....silly man - I hope against hope that he's learned his lesson....

Oh God, was wondering if you were going to include the events from 'The Gift,' and now I know. That had me crying for Spike and his loss, and remembering his breakdown on the show. Wonderful chapter!!!

Good short angsty interlude, now all I have to do is wait for the next chapter.

Ohhhhh *runs off to bed to cry*

 

well...they're making progress, even if its painful progress..enjoying this immensely..on to more :)

Gah, thought I'd reviewed this one :) Great work on showing Buffy's state of mind the whole way through in this fic - she's rarely a truly sympathetic character by this time in most, but here, she still has some of her innocence. Beautifully done.

Oh wow, you do Spuffy angst so well I literally feel my heart breaking for them. Wonderful job!! I love this story!

love the story. love your portrayal of buffy and spike. thanks. looking forward to what ever resolution you create.

Yes, I have a soft spot for angst!fics, and you've done a wonderful job with this.
"He couldn’t tear himself away from her eyes, her beautiful amber eyes." This line intrigues me. A bit of foreshadowing perhaps?

Okay, now what do you have up your sleeve?? I can't wait to see what happens next. They were so close to truly expressing their feelings and though the mutual bite, things have been revealed but they had to go back to the "norm". Can't wait to read more.

How can they be so silly after the PTB let them see the truth? How much longer before they get to see and keep the truth?

Another sad, but sexy chappy, Pet. Excellent writing.

Your lovely fic has me twisted in knots. So want them to be together but can see all the hurdles. Bloody hurdles! Really enjoying the ride. Thanks ever so.

very good chappie :P I love it

What?!?! You so had me going on a happy Spuffy and then STUPID Riley gets brought up. Can't we just hang him? Or feed him to a bunch of coyotes? Love this story. I look foward to it everyweek! The interludes are also great to read too. You do an awesome job writing. Can't wait till next Sunday!

So close then GAH *flops over*

Well this is as tragic as it gets I suppose. So close yet so far. Can't wait for the next chapter.

 

i love the way you're tracking time through the whole series with this fic...very nicely done :)

Yucky Cardbored is in the picture. They've both been and are being stupid.

Fisrt Spike doesn't want her, now he does. I wish he would make us his mind. They won't wait for next halloween this time, will they?

So glad to see this. wondered what you would do with this period of time. I am glad that Spike realizes that he put all of this in motion with his last visit. Great update. Wonder what he has up his sleeve now.

Ohhhh.... poor spikey!!!!

 

that was kind of bittersweet..harsh reality mingled in with the fantasy...excellent chapter :)

I just love this. they reach out when their "conscious" is not in control and then they draw back. I just love the month of October for them as well.

This is a really unique story idea. Very nicely done. Nice angst ;)

Still just a yearly shag. These two are still brainless. Hard to imagine that Spike really tortured Angel for the ring.

that was so sad. Poor buffy.

a bittersweet situation; good to see the earlier canon Spike and the softer-edged Buffy 'in action' - and both not really coping with it, at all.

Awesome job sweetie - I can see that you re-worked a little of these fics, and it's all the better :) And I'm loving your conflicted Buffy - trying so hard to be all heartless and she's just a scared girl underneath - so much better than the bitca we all know. Keep it up :)

Very good, sort of put a twist on who's in denial about this love compared to the show. I like it, hope to read more real soon.

*sigh* That tore my heart apart. Grr, I so wanna hit Spike, the dumb, thick headed git. Doesn't he realize that he loves her? So so good. This is my weekend highlight. Can't wait for next weekend!

Oooo, is he still going to get his chip? Is he ever going to come to his senses??

Gahhh, why am I sensing disgusting Riley sex in the future? As usual passionate and disturbing. It truly impacts my heart. Thank you for writing this series.

 

he's so gone :) loving this fic :)

Great story. I hope Spike stops fighting the truth and gets back soon to Buffy.

LOL, poor dumb Vamps. Spike Dru isn't capable of loving you and Angel buy a clue :P

No No NO .... Angel went back, but the bleached one kept going? ARGH!!!! More please. Good interlude.

Well this is getting interesting but I need more I tells ya......bring on more :) thx for a good story

Hot damn, Love's Bitch through and through, huh? Spike's such an idiot, but I love him all the more for it. Buffy'll haunt him till he HAS to go back....and ugh, Peaches stayed? Can the ego of that vamp get any bigger? As if Buffy can't take care of herself....hope she whacks him a time or two for his idiocy as well.....oh, more, please?

Excuse me for a moment while I just step over into the corner and kick one bleached blonde vamp in the head. Could you please have a chat with our hero and tell him to get his butt back to where it belongs. Another great chapter, more soon please.

No... the wrong vampire stayed! LoL! I need more. Can't wait! ^.^

I hope Buffy manages to find out about Angelus hanging around before he hurts someone, like Spike.

 

that was incredibly hot... :) love in control Buffy... :)

Loved it all the way around. I'm catching up on all the stories that I was behind on. I didn't get to read anything for quite a few days. LOVE the update here for this one. Can't wait for what happens in the next year.

'It's ok,' I console myself. 'We all know he comes back, It's ok...' - - - Great chapter! :)

It's official - Halloween replaces Christmas the most enjoyable holiday!

Wow, that was soo yummy, and I really felt for Buffy in the end. I won't want Spike to leave me either. Can't every month be a Halloween fic series? Ohh, I would love to see a Christmas one. I can't wait till next weekend.

“Don’t you want to please me?” - Mmm, what a loaded question. Loved it. Oh and he just left... big meanie!

luved it...who has she been practicing with???

this is just great. I so can't wait for next year.

OMG! Every Halloween for the rest of her life? She's ruined for anybody else and if she did her job right, he's ruined too. Are you going to give us more Halloweens?

Oh yeah I loves it

oooh! I'd love to find out what happens next year!

 

yeah right...excuses, excuses, Spike :)

Good interlude. Stupid brooding one. I'm surprised that Buffy still slept with him ... though in many ways it makes sense that it wouldnt' have been as big a deal for her to do so. She wasn't a virgin, but poofy Angel would have still lost his soul because he was with his precious Buffy.

*He barely had time enough to dwell on his own shortcomings and sins; he was so busy looking for hers.*... I love this line!! lol... very good!

Absolutely scrummy! Love this to bits and beyond. More soon I hope. Thanks ever so.

I just saw Halloween a few days ago and then found you had written this. How perfect and don't we wish they had met up in the alley?;)

Love it, Angel being Angel, Mr. Brood to the nth degree. This is one story I will be looking for. What happens next? Another Halloween has got to be right around the corner

LOL, I love the inturlude too much, but couldn't we dust angel. (Big Manga Puppy eyes)

Gross. And yet... I like the 'something between those two' :) Were you a Bangel fan while they were the convention couple, in the early days? 'cause I was, but now I just can't see why I ever liked the pairing. Angel was always 'poor me' and really, he does have poofy hair. I don't know... Thanks for the interlude ;)

Ooooo!! Can't wait for more! *bounces*

 

Oh this is so interesting, can't wait to read more.

wow..hotness!!! :)

This has been on my MUST READ list for a while now, just haven't had the time to sit and do massive amts of reading. This was so heartbreaking, sexy, poignant, aggravating, and heated all at the same time. Really, the way you've written this, it could have been behind the scenes of the series. It would explain alot of their behaviors - Buffy's towards Angel in S3, Spike's toward her in S4, her disbelief and sense of betrayal in both S4 "Harsh Light of Day" and S5's "Out of My Mind." Such great writing. BRAVA!

Beautifully written. Loved it.

This was an excellent written series. I just wish, on a personal note, that it had ended happier all around. The tension building with each season was so fitting. In the end I had just hoped that it would be a little happier. Excellent writing though. Bravo! You really did a great job of evoking many emotions in me.

I loved it! It was so hot! Just wish something like that happened on Buffy! Seeing James do that would be a blessing. Can't wait to read what happens next!

Awesome. Unique plot device. I especially love the way that you imply the actions of the year, but don't make us have to re-read lines from the show. Plus, its hot, hot, HOT!

I am so truly loving this Buffy verse version of "Same time next year". Also, it's nice the way Buffy actually studied hard. I'm pretty sure Spike gave her an A+ on her test.

Do either one of them think they can wait? I guess it's a sure thing for next year, even if Dru and Angelus drive Spike away from Sunnyhell. I'm looking forward to more.

WOW! That was awesome. I was so looking forward to this fic. Can't wait for next weekend!

OoooOOOoooo, very good!! Loved it!!

That was HOT. Next year - they must love waiting or something.

Let's just hope we don't have to wait a year to see what happens next. We don't, do we? :) Loved it. whats going on with Angel? cause therein lies badness... More, please!

Wahoo! Loving the chapter! Check you out with the new ficcie goodness!

Oh, sps, that was wonderful :)

Absolutely loved the ending with the blood pact. that was highly original, and the whole fic had a wonderful flavour. I'm looking forward to more.

Oh my freaking goodness....that was...so drooling enducingly HOT that I'm still rendered speechless!!! Can't wait for the next chapter!

This will probably sound crazy, but I've already read through this one twice. {smiles} I really look forward to the next chapter to see the progression you take through the rest of the season ... or if you just jump right to Season 3 or whatever you choose to do. I will be reading!

OOOO ... this is a new one right? I didn't somehow miss this one before somewhere else? Intriguing, and I hope that you continue it to show us what happens next Halloween. I'm curious to see what parts of canon you keep and what you don't. Will they even stay apart long enough to wait for next Halloween? Can't wait for more.
