Let Nothing You Dismay by Constance Love how you fast forward all the events of the series to end up here - Excellent Christmas Story - very nice twist on his chip and his getting his soul - it is a very good alternative storyline - mamaly1975 09/15/2008 05:30 am Epilogue Sequel! Sequel!! Sequel!!! I loved the story! It had a good story arc. I adored your characterizations of Buffy, Dawn and Spike. Their personalities felt real and true. And now, I am off to read more of your stories!! "And it's because you don't know how wrong that is..." And now he does....there is the problem and why in S7 he didn't dare pursue her. He suddenly saw himself through HER eyes no longer realizing how wrong her view was. Same when he returned at least where she was concerned. Excellent story with good believable voices and behavior throughout. Kathleen Maggie 01/08/2007 11:00 pm Epilogue This is a fantastic fic. You do a great job of being true to the characters as they were in B5 -- and making Spike's decision to seek redemption totally plausible... and maybe even more inspiring than the one we saw on the series. Also, by setting this relatively early in B5, Buffy's closed heart and mind make much more sense -- so her 'bitchiness' is not as annoying as it usually is. More heartbreaking, because we can see why she doesn't see, even as we see how much better things would be if she somehow could see. Would love to see how things evolve -- but you've brought Spike and Buffy to a place where things have a chance to develop in a healthy way. Big thumbs up on this! Now: can we get an update to Dreidel? :) Cas 12/30/2006 03:22 am Epilogue Poor Spike. At least he finally gets his crumb, after finding out that he really can't be good on his own, and then doing something about it. At least Buffy didn't throw him out. Did Buffy ever find the Christmas Star he stole for her last year? Would tie things together nicely. Strange to tell the epilogue originally started with Buffy and Dawn hanging that star. But somehow Dawn ends up taking over any chapter she appears in, so I had to try another tack. Well, that was...awkward. In a good characterization way, not the actual storyline or the writing. Awkward was actually appropriate for those two at that time. Emilee 12/28/2006 10:25 pm Epilogue Is that it? Is that the end? I gotta say, I do like that better then last chapter's ending, but it did come off as kinda abrupt. Well, if it is the end, the story was good, definitely funny. Are you thinking of a sequel? kim 12/28/2006 09:26 pm Epilogue Interesting turn of events. The guy's actually average height, you know. It's not like Spike was only 5'6". And Dawn was still shorter than Buffy in Season 5. :) Liked the resolution - the uncertainty with hope. Good story. You DO know that this DEMANDS a sequel, right? Oh I did love this short treasure. Even if you don't follow it up it is a winner on all levels. Beautifully done. Kathleen Great fic! Thoroughly enjoyed it. I think you have a good ending - it's realistic to Buffy and how her history with Angel set her life patterns at this stage - as did all the teaching from Giles. I also think that it's also an excellent study of Spike and his potential. I read this story before and it was nice to read it again. NICE - Can't wait for the next part - I sure hope that you have a completed sequel. Saggit 05/30/2009 03:06 am Chapter Five "He slewed the car to a stop across the fortunately deserted road. "I'm gonna go some place that's not your town and I'm gonna not eat people and I'll bloody well show you!" That is a wonderful line, and beautifully placed at the climax of the scene. Very nice story, with dead-on characterizations from all three majors, and plenty of snark, just the way I like it. Thank you for writing it! Saggit 05/30/2009 03:04 am Chapter Five "He slewed the car to a stop across the fortunately deserted road. "I'm gonna go some place that's not your town and I'm gonna not eat people and I'll bloody well show you!" That is a wonderful line, and beautifully placed at the climax of the scene. Very nice story, with dead-on characterizations from all three majors, and plenty of snark, just the way I like it. Thank you for writing it! buffy is exactly as spike labeled her earlier. unfortunately he is moving down to meet her. excellent read, thank you. Cas 12/30/2006 03:20 am Chapter Five "Decided evil you might be a bit much for me" LOL! Cas 12/30/2006 03:20 am Chapter Five "Decided evil you might be a bit much for me" LOL! LMAO - Their conversation is priceless. Spike is so outrageously imnature and Buffy is such an ingrate. Screw the happy ending! Give us a sequel, and let *that* have a happy ending. Great story. This was funny. I love frustrated Spike, trying so hard to be good. Tamara 12/28/2006 04:25 am Chapter Five No , we don't hate you. Now , where's that ending! kim 12/28/2006 03:35 am Chapter Five Poor Spike...he's made such good arguments, and she keeps being stupid. I'm starting to get the impression you don't like the character of Buffy very much. Looking forward to more of this. It is too in character for this time period. Love, love, love this one. Kathleen excellent read, thank you. spike's declaration in the last line is hysterical and very accurate. Cas 12/30/2006 03:18 am Chapter Four Storm the castle, get the girl - quite manly and dashing hero even. But Spike's plans never do pan out, do they? LOL - Spike is so great and Buffy is such a dimwit. Heh heh. Love the way this boy professes his love to his lady *G*. Even with her NOT in chains he just can't let the romantic out....snerk.... Excellent. Kathleen kim 12/27/2006 12:05 pm Chapter Four Moron, is right. Seriously!! Cas 12/30/2006 03:16 am Chapter Three Loved the look at Buffy's thoughts about Riley, but she really is clueless about what Spike is about, isn't she? Can't believe you left it there - but then I read ahead and came back to leave you these comments. Gaahhh poor Spike, punished for his good intentions. Tee hee...so in character. Kathleen sour 12/27/2006 08:41 am Chapter Three great story! I certainly hope Dawn used a protection spell on Spike, too. I'm really enjoying this story. fun read, buffy, as usual, hasn't a clue. thanks for the read and the evil cliffie. Tamara 12/27/2006 06:55 am Chapter Three Loving this so far. I wonder if Buffy's head will explode when she figures out she's being rescued. Ouch! evil cliffhanger! Shame on you. :) kim 12/27/2006 04:03 am Chapter Three Stop being so narrow-minded, you moron. Spike came to help! Hopefully, she's too weak to drive the stake through the rib cage. All right that was just plain mean. Should have known Buffy would stake first and ask questions later. Cas 12/30/2006 03:14 am Chapter Two This went in a direction I didn't expect, but still loving it. that was a fun read, thank you. spike and dawn are just so spike and dawn. thanks, again. Great Dawn and Spike. Poor Spike - evil impaired and doesn't want to admit it. Enjoyed. Laughed over the "waiting to fill that hole" pun. Cas 12/30/2006 03:13 am Chapter One Interesting point of view, I love the relationship between Dawn and Spike, and the Holiday touches are just right. "That's it, girl. Chip or no you're Christmas dinner." "If I pretend to be scared will you stay? I really can't reach the kitchen window." Damn girl. Just had no right going around reminding him of her sister by being completely unafraid of him. "One more string. And you have to pretend to be terrified." ROFLMAO How PERFECT a conversation between these two at this time period! Love this story. Kathleen new men were the thing, LMAO at Spike imagining himself as a metrosexual. | |||
