Just finished your lovely story " Payback ".  I've read it multiple times now.  It really is the gold standard against which I judge all time-travel fics. 

Wonderfully insightful and satisfying!  Thank you!  

Very well done.  I love the new Buffy especially...  and I didn't feel sorry for Parker at all!!

Thanks,

That was beautiful. Harsh and glaring in parts but truely beautiful. There should be a sequel with aftermath.

This is my second reading  - loved it just as much - I really like how you used the demons and the vengeance wish to move around in the time.  Love your Spike in this story and how you managed all his anger and then a transition to their being combined by their separate experiences and memories.  All the characters were given just the right amount of time so that they contributed to the story in important ways but still kept all the focus on Spike and Buffy.

I am going to do some graphics based on this work and post  a recommend and link back here at my site. 

What a wonderful story - it was such a good combination of all that anger for both Spike and Buffy and how it all changed.  Your use of all the elements really made the story work. 

And congratulations on having your book being published. 

Oh wow, loved this! Loved the way you kept Spike true to character and how Buffy finally accepted him. SO AWESOME!! 

Hi,

your story is beautiful. Thank you :-)

Wow, this was a good story. I hate that it's over. I wanted to see what Tara & Willow were up to because I could tell that you had them thinking...

Now I get it! (Bonks head.) The memories were totally imbedded. Everything pulled together in the end.

i liked it a lot! :)

Amazing! Such a hot and beautiful story all at once! I loved it!

I loved your story. I really liked how you blended their lives.

very nice ending.  Thank you.  While I don't normally ask, this would be a nice story to have a sequel!

Thanks for another dose of Spuffy goodness. Although I’m glad it all ended ‘happily ever after’ it was refreshing to see that Buffy’s physical/emotional abuse of Spike come back to bite her. Season 6, in particular, made me uncomfortable becomes it seemed to suggest those sorts of actions were acceptable – I presume partly because Buffy was female and partly because Spike wasn’t human. That’s a very worrying mindset to have and one of the reasons I enjoy your stories is because you tend to emphasise the inherent wrongness of this type of behaviour (whether it comes from Buffy or any other of the Scoobies). I was really pleased that Payback was no exception. Besides… who can resist the hotness that is bad boy Spike!? ;-)

 

Overall some nice dialogue and characterisation as always. Speaking of which, any chance of a Scooby epilogue?

 

It's over, waaah!
Excellent story, wonderful insight on characters as always. Keep up the good work.

All over so soon - and I thought I had another several days of yuminess...  Brilliant as always - I like this partnership - any chance of more in the same vein (pun intended!)

Sorry - forgot to put my name on the earlier post :-(

wonderful read, thank you. your spike was fantastic. his plans actually work how he wanted. even he was amazed at the results. really enjoyed the tale. if you ever become bored, an epilogue with scoobie reaction would be very entertaining.

Awwwwwwwwww it's over. I'm so happy for them, though if i'm honest more him than her cause i've got issues with her but either way...hurray for them both! Definitely need a better future than what they saw.

How I love a happy ending. This was a great story.
Looking over all the reviews you've gotten, I can not for the life of me understand why some people had issues. How can the unpolitical correctness of this when they could sit through season six? Your story is a bundle of hugs and puppies compared to that, no matter how much of a (awesome) jerk your Spike was.
Anyway, great story and can't wait until the next one!

*happy happy sigh*

I love how you give Spike what he deserves so badly, someone to love him and cherish him the way he loves. 

Lovely, lovely ending.  Great job!!!  Can't wait for your next story!
