Great story all in all, I loved the happy ending...I'm a sucker for happy endings.

The characterization was excellent. Spike wasn't a crybag for the scoobies, Buffy was a heartless bitch for awhile(Bad, Bad, Bad) Spike forgave her to easily(Bad, Bad, Bad)

I'd definitely read it again though.

I also cannot believe that it's done.
But I loved it! Thanks so much for writing such a beauty as in this one.And writing it when you were a junior in high school...You deserve every bit of credit here.:)Thanks again.:)
Aww, thank you, I'm so glad that you stuck with it all this time :) Here's a little secret -- when I'm finally in a place where I'm satisfied with how all my stories are going, there's going to be an OoMH sequel; it's been in planning for about four years. It might be a while before it comes out, but keep an eye out for it when it does ;) Thanks for reading!

epilogue         
"Well, Buffy's a paranoid psycho, but she's also a paranoid psycho who is terrified of love." Oh, I never questioned that for a second. To explain what I meant further: in the original version, the point you wanted to make above wasn't conveyed within the confines of the story, in my opinion. It was instead of given, something you had to understand if you knew the show or other fanfics. What you've done in the expanded version is to offer a rationale for Buffy's paranoia about relationships, and that makes it work better for me. Not that I disliked it, before, you understand--only that I like it still better, now.
Yeah, when I first wrote this, my mind was at the point where I wanted reviews, so i just threw the chapters out as fast as i got them written, and I didn't have a beta then who would help me clarify some points :) I'm older now than I was when i wrote the story originally -- that was six years ago, if you're keeping tabs -- and when I reread it, I realized how empty some points of it were, and i got mad and ganked the whole thing off of the Internet so i could revise it. And also, i now have a very kind, very intelligent beta in the form of Megan (Peta) who helps me keep my ass in gear and makes me look at my stories logically when there are plot holes. Heh. I'm glad you like it better :D

epilogue         
I've enjoyed and read this fic twice, before. The revision does help with a couple of problems, especially in the scene where Buffy formerly decided for no apparent reason to channel her inner bitch and call Spike Angel at a particularly vulnerable moment. Good filling out in general, everybody pretty much IC, and some nice writing. I especially like the opening scene in its entirety, a fine example of comic action that doesn't go over the top. Good job!
Well, Buffy's a paranoid psycho, but she's also a paranoid psycho who is terrified of love. She's terrified of love in general because she's seen what it can do, she's terrified to love another man, and she's REALLY terrified of loving another vampire. Somewhere in the really deep recesses of her mind, calling Spike "Angel" at the crucial moment made sense toher. It would "save" her from being hurt -- and of course it didn't. Glad that you enjoyed the new version of it :) Thanks for reviewing!

Very nice. I hope you continue to write these wonderful stories!
I hope so, too :) I'm currently working on a small Spike/Dawn friendship (sorta) piece. Remember when Dawn talked about how Spike got her out of the mansion when Angelus kidnapped her? ~_^ Thanks for the review.

The chapter was alright. I think Spike should of stayed mad at Buffy for awhile longer for the shit she pulled(Then forgive her ;)) In every story BUffy does the most heartless things then is instantly forgiven. But this chapter was readable, disappointing but readable.

the trials of a hero, part 1/2         
I'm sorry,I couldn't understand one thing;Buffy is thinking about sex  with Spike.
1-Spike is quite tortured and battered down,so he's not in a condition to do a thing like that,or is he?!
Gosh,I'm confused.
2-Does she actually think Spike'd jump right into her arms the moment she gets a chance to have him around?
Hey,no sarcasm here,really,just askin'.
And would he?
1-Spike is quite tortured and battered down,so he's not in a condition to do a thing like that,or is he?!

LOL. Has that ever stopped him before?

2-Does she actually think Spike'd jump right into her arms the moment she gets a chance to have him around?

No, she doesn't, but she is trying to run through her head what she wants to do to thank him when he's better. She can only give him a kiss now, and in typical Buffy-ADD fashion, her mind went off on a tangent and started leaning toward what a kiss with Spike would lead to, hence the Buffy-thinking-about-sex deal. The bizarre ranting is just Buffy's own way of trying to come to full term with what she's thinking. Not very efficient for her, but amusing for the rest of us :)

Way cool

That was the worst thing to say,I mean,,really? But never get me wrong,the idea was just brilliant,but so harsh on Spike,but also necessary for the fic and for Buffy to understand and accept her feelings towards him.Still,hurting in front of my computer here.And Angel'd really hurt Spike.After all of the things in his past;all with Dru and Angelus,Buffy and Angel,and Angel's always being oh-so-damn-much better than Spike...See,hurt.But,anyways,I (so-very-) absolutely loved it!
Buffy-Logic and Real-World Logic don't always go hand in hand, I'm afraid :) My Buffy freaks out at a moment's notice before getting the crap kicked out of her and the sense kicked into her. Thanks for reading :)

Glad Spike actually got mad and shit for once, most stories have him being a lil pussy, Buffy deserved to get told off there.

Also I like how you have the scoobies character. Giles is the perfect father type/still watcher, Anya is...weird. Willow/Tara are sensitive and stuff. Spike isn't a bitch, Dawns...well Dawn and Buffy is Buffy.

 Dawn's complete disbelief at Riley's motives hit the nail on the head and it shifted the gang's point of view enough to pause before attacking Spike.  Spike attacking Buffy to save her from revealing too much was stellar, and I enjoyed him screaming at the rude group.  Buffy breaking up with Riley was fun, too.

Buffy's emotions continue to run hot and cold.  She has feelings for Spike, but doesn't want to really face them.  It's emotionally exhausting, but also a lot of fun.

 The intense fighting was vivid and brutal, yet you made the passionate kissing believable.  These two are so wound up, it's no wonder they keep blowing up.

I loved it when you pissed Spike off about Buffy. And I also loved that Spike showed his dominance in this situation. I am really hoping for Buffy to stop being a total ho-bag and start being a little bit of respectful towards Spike. (No matter what he does,I just can't seem to bring myself to be harsh on him.)
Loved it all;)

 Riley getting the "We are not your way to Buffy" speech was stellar.  The gang have circled the wagons, and he is a persona non grata.

Spike ranting and raging in Buffy's bedroom was hysterical.  He was so agitated and angry that she's wormed her way into his conscience, but you turned the scene into a funny, playful dance.  The image of Buffy jumping to retrieve her camisole had me grinning, and the segue into heated kissing was seamless.

Spike controlling himself, waiting until Buffy is well and truly done with Finn, makes sense.  Buffy would feel like she's cheated beforehand, and that could drive a wedge between them.  It's all very entertaining.

 Buffy dumping Riley was violent and vivid, and she played right into Spike's hands.  I'm delighted the seduction isn't going smoothly.  It would be out of character for Buffy just to succumb to Spike's dubious charms.

I was worried that Spike's anger would spark the killing spree everyone's been expecting.  That would make Buffy and the gang morally obligated to dust him.  Thanks for having him "sprout a conscience."

Riley learning that Buffy had been bitten by Angel just made Spike's bite more fuel to the fire of his jealousy, and I love that Giles recognizes that Buffy has a fascination for the undead.  Her agitation and confusion are coming off the page in waves, so it's no wonder Spike brought handcuffs.

The mind blowing sex and kissing are going to confuse things even further.  Poor thing.

This made me laugh out loud:   "She knew it was a long shot, since the idea of handcuffs was the equivalent of kissing a man to her narrow-minded boyfriend, but if it was Riley, she was gonna kick his ass the second she broke out of these goddamn things."

This is already a lot of fun.  Your Spike and Buffy voices are excellent, and I'm enjoying the premise.  Spike actually getting the chip out, and immediately focusing on his lust for Buffy is a good twist, and accidentally claiming her twists this up even more.

Buffy's less than flattering thoughts about Riley set the stage for Spike's seduction, and I loved Spike's assertion here:  "Don't imagine yourself as her hero, Cardboard. She don't need one. You're lookin' at the hero of the soddin' tale right there. She can handle herself just fine."  He really sees her, appreciates her strengths.  Poor Riley, he doesn't stand a chance.

I'm sure I've read this before, but I don't think I reviewed it.
