Two Sides of the Same Coin by behind blue eyes
Chapter: Chapter Eight
Excellent interaction from Xander and Anya, you have the tone of their voices bang on. Poor William, what now for him, does he need his other half to survive? I love that Buffy is so concerned about him. Great work more soon?
At the risk of repeating myself, you got it down perfectly once again! And how lucky am I to have read this right before you posted chapter 8!
I could actually hear their voices as I was reading, I kept going back and rereading Anya's words, again, just perfect!
And yes, it was my long-standing rule to NEVER start a wip just because I didn't want to get invested in something that might not ever be completed (I'm speaking for myself, I've got a few wip's myself on another site -not fanfic, I'm too scared to try fanfic and leave it to the experts like you- ) but then, as I said, I found your completed stuff and I couldn't help myself!
I'm so excited to have broken my own rule and I can't wait to find out what happens and see how Spike and William become one again, and there's nothing I love more than seeing Buffy fall for Spike.
And now that I've started one wip, I shall brave thru some more, so thank you for that too! :)
Oh, one more thing, I loved Vampires Don't Sparkle so much that I posted a link on facebook recommending it to some of my Buffy loving friends, I hope that's ok and not against any rules :)
Thanks again for writing such an awesome story and I can't wait to read more!!!
ps: I love how the Scoobies are being less judgemental towards Spike/Buffy/William...just wondering, are you following the comics?
I am also glad you broken your own rule. There are many wonderful stories out there that writers (like myself) thrive on reviews. Unfortunately, when they don't feel readers are enjoying their writing, they end up stopping. I myself approximately a year ago stated I was never "plaguing fanfiction with my crap anymore." Thankfully, my family and friends urged me to continue and here I am still today writing.
On Vampire's Don't Sparkle, as long as you give me props in it being my work, I'm completely cool and extremely flattered you recommending it to others. I hope they enjoy it as much as you do!!!
No, thank you for taking a chance and reading my story. I promise more will be coming very soon.
On your PS. I felt in late Season 4 and early Season 5, the Scoobies were less judgmental toward Spike. Yeah, they made jokes at his expense and still saw him as an evil vampire, but there were times when they did help him. (EX: when he got the chip him staying at Giles' then at Xander's, Xander and Willow trying to show him life or in his case unlife wasn't too bad when he tried to stake himself, the Scoobies getting rid of the tracer stuck in his back...).
For the Comics, no, I have no interest in them.
Also on your earlier comment, I'm not an expert, I just play one on fanfiction!!!
Big huggers!!!

I've wanted to pinch Xander really hard many times myself. :)
Don't apologize at all. I forgot to add in my response that I'm flattered you thought the last chapter was too short. That means to me you wanted more! Speaking of more, I'm hoping to post the next chapter early next week.
Big thanks

What's up with Xander? I mean he can't honestly think that William is a danger to anyone? But right away he thinks William is faking an illness, and of course it has to be more than coincidence that William came down when they were talking about Spike. That man is seriously paranoid. Loved Anya pinching him too funny.
Xander was always wary of Spike. Even after Spike stood with them: patrolled, and took care of Dawn, when Buffy died, he still didn't treat him more than muscle and an outsider.
I'm glad you liked the pinching part. I was chuckling when I wrote it! I totally could picture Anya doing that!
And could I pinch Xander too? Please?
Yeah, give Xander another good pinch! He totally deserves one!
