Can I just say that I disagree that you don't deserve any kindness?  Cuz you do!  I love this story.  The selfish fangirl in me wants more story now!  But then I realize that you are human, and you have a life that does not include fanfic.  Don't be so hard on yourself.  Whatever's going on IRL needs to take precedence.  So do what you gotta do, cuz we'll be waiting here when you're able to come back.

Nice to see a post from you again. Anything you write is usually good and this is no exception. I loved the Origin Trilogy and I love these short stories. Never change your style, it is loved by me.
Welcome back to the Bloodshedverse Niamh

Ooooooooooh an update! {does happy dance} Hope you can prod your muse into more sustained action!
Yay for Dawn. And of course Willow is still oblivious. And now Buffy has to face Spike's true feelings...
Can't wait for the next exciting instalment...

What's got you down? And this is going fine! Still smiling over putting in Sweet Transvestite so you''ve still got your funny bone. 
As for the late update, don't worry. After having read all three Origins books, I for one am prepared to wait however long it takes for you to write the next chapter. Yes, your work is that good, and very realistic.

How wonderful to see an update to this promising tale, I sincerely hope your wayward muse has returned at full throttle so we can see more of your excellent work!
Looking forward to more jokes at Xander's expense and some lovely Spuffy... oh, and Irene Ryan was Granny Clampett in The Beverley Hillbillies...

Cool story - I am hoping for an update to the origins, and while I am waiting, I read this one.  Can't wait for an update for this one, now!

Hope you don't mind my trying my hand at some banners for you - I love this song and was planning on doing a slide show film with this one - Want to try one with the Great Jerry Lee and one with this song - Lena Horne would have been great, but I do like Eva Gardner in the role -

Good Luck with your work - I love your Buffyverse FF -

I'm glad to see that you are taking up your work again - but honestly, why not do something that you really love - take up another character from the series or just do some totally fun project, strictly for yourself. 

I been doing some banners based on the evolution of Spike, some alone and some with Buffy,  from the Bela Legosi Dracula - think that might be something interesting for you to think about and maybe try working with? 

It's good to take up older works too - sometimes you are totally surprised with where the revisit takes you.  I like doing that with my early paintings.

So incredibly impressed with this story so far, just had to let you know.  It's every bit the musical story as the actual episode and genuinely unique.  Thank you for sharing.  Can't wait to read the remaining chapters.

I can just hear Spike singing that!  (I can also imagine him seeing the film but never admitting to it).

So glad you didn't just leave poor Xander in this mess however much he deserves it LOL.

Great update.

This would've made great canon. It's always nice when ther are consequences of some kind for a Scoobies' actions.Not to mention Xander's freaking is wonderfully silly.

I think I've got the Pippin clue.  Is it from Bring it On with Eliza Dushku (Faith) and Claire Kramer (Glory)?
(Claire): Excuse me?  What's with the song?
(Guy): This isn't the audition for 'Pippin'?
(Claire): No

Am I right?
Loving this story!  'And I can't wear lime!'  hahaha  To funny

Xander in pink ruffles. Yuk. I'm going to have nightmares now. Hoping Buffy's going to be able to curb her BitchyBuffy urges...

 though my dislike of xander borders on despise, even i would not make him wear a  pink ruffles. but probably a better visual than his normal dress.. very good read, thank you.

I interesting idea and kinda fun. Not sure you're going to hang away from the angst, though. lol  I'm a musical idiot, so I've only picked up on a few of the songs in each chapter.  I hope muse hangs around long enough for you to finish it.

if it wasn't for the fun your having telling this tale and the fun i'm having reading it, i'd say leave xander where he is. fine read, thank you.

Great chapter, I am enjoying the story so far. 

John Rubinstein was the Wolfram & Hart lawyer Linwood Murrow and Pippin in the original Broadway production.

 

One Night in Bangkok was from the musical Chess. Murray Head played Freddy Trumper in the original production and his brother, Anthony Stewart Head, was part of the final cast. One Night in Bangkok is one of my favorite songs from the 80’s and it wasn’t until three years ago I realized Murray and ASH were brothers.

Hee! This is one fun story! I love when Sweet takes Xander with him and it's all Beauty and the Beast. I was so happy when I recognized the Mulan song.

Here's hoping the get to Xander soon since Sweet is having him all prepared to be the Queen.  Interesting that Giles is reconsidering the whole leaving, and realizing that some good may be coming from the connection between Spike and Buffy

Great start.  I haven't read any OMWF  fics either so this is a real treat.  Giles is having 'adorable' thoughts about Anya? Hmmmm.  I'm glad Spike's main concern is looking out for Buffy.  You do that so well.

Oh this is going to be fun.  There is a nasty part of me that is hoping Xander is not enjoying his honeymoon *snicker*....he had no remorse for those who burned to death after all.

Great start, good song choices makes it easy to "hear" while reading.

Great to see you have a new piece started - sounds like a great musical treat is coming - I happen to love listening to "classic oldies" and the Gaye-Terrell made me think of Orpheus and The Underworld also Psyche and Cupid.
