Nice story, slay.  Except for the part where Angel doesn't get thrashed within an inch of his life.  :)

LOL Well, The PtB seem to be very unhappy with him, so who knows what they have in mind. :)

LOL Loved it. A very well written tale is what it is. By the way,where is Angel?
Don't know. The PtB just whisked him away. :)

nice story...although I had a moment of thinking Spike would tell them not to cancel the plans, just switcheroo the grooms...
Hee - that would have been tempting, but... Thanks for reading.

Brilliant story. Fun Angel bashing, even though I like him, but never with Buffy. You should have had the powers make him a vampire again. I'd love an epilogue that shows what did become of him.
Hee! Well,since the readers have been participants in this right from the beginning, I may have to bow to public pressure and do an epilogue in which we find out what the powers have in store for Angel....

Oh how typical... Silly Spike staying away for so long and then coming swooping in at the last moment. Typical Angel too. I knew he never loved the real Buffy, just his idealistic view of the teenage her. A lovely reunion fic.
Thank you. I'm just gonna keep writing 'em until they finally make it back together. lol

This would have been the perfect one-off episode, wouldn't it?
It would, sigh. Too bad Joss didn't think of it. LOL

Sorry, I'm only just now reviewing, but I've been reading the updates faithfully. And I seriously love this story. :heartfic:
I liked, the way you conveyed how Spike's deaths affected Buffy, that she hadn't much to go on for and let Angel take over her live like that. And it was so typical that Giles was ready to believe anything Angel told him without even thinking about it, although if you compare the effects both vamps had on his life and the things they did over the years to prove themselves, there isn't a single reason I could come up wih why he should trust Angel's word over anyone elses. Angel was just beeing a delusional ass (nothing new there) It was nice to see the Scoobies supporting Buffy and Spike and how fiercely Buffy defended Spike. Not to mention all the lovely Spuffy moments.
To make it short :) : A fantastic story. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for reading1 I'm glad you liked my explanation for why Buffy allowed Angel to maneuver her into a marriage she clearly didn't want.

Hee! Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it.

There is nothing better in this world than a story by Slaymesofly.
Oh, what a sweet thing to say! *smooches you* Thank you!

10/31/2006 01:05 am

I loved it! I want a sequal!
Thank you.

10/30/2006 06:28 pm
Yeah ...:::stands and applauds wildly:::... just what I needed before off to beddy bye!

I was thinking just today that Angel (okay, Angelus and Angel to use HIS way of looking at it) was responsible for STARTING two (2), yes two apocalypses!!!!!! How's that for a hero?! Even if acathala wa him without a soul....soulless Spike never started a single one but stopped or helped stop several. Also Angel only actively sought to "do good" from the time Whistler showed him Buffy...so, being generous, 7 years out of his 200+ in existance (100+ with a soul)....Spike for at least most of his William years strove to be good and for the last 4 with only two with a soul! God, I'm rambling...sorry!!!

Anyway, excellent story....glad the Powers took old huff and puff away to the hair gel in the sky.

Kathleen
LOL Good point, Kathleen. Angel starts apocalypses - Spike prevents them. Thanks for reading and all the great reviews! *hugs*

Aww how sweet! I loved the story! Mwhahaha stupid Angel is gone, I wonder where he is...he's such an idiot, saying stuff like that *sigh*
LOL Thanks. I'm glad you like my little story.

Excellent characterization--of Angel especially. You went straight to the heart of the Angel "I am OWED this for good behavior" theory of reward.
Hee! Thanks. I'm glad you liked my Angel (so to speak - "like" might not be the right term there. lol)

Great story. I'm no Angel hater but it is fun to see him get kicked around from time to time.
I don't really hate him either - I just can't seem to see him as being right for Buffy.

10/30/2006 01:47 pm
awwww very nice. This chapter rocked! god angel is such an ass...and good point bringing up how he was as a human before. I was thinking "wow he's kind of over the top" but then i remembered what he was like as a human before he became a vampire, and i've never truly believed no matter what canon says that he was cursed with his own human soul...so it makes sense that angel is so selfish here. gah what a ASS. ok i'm done. eep. I can't believe he had them convinced SPike had her in a freaking thrall!
LOL - great review Zoe. Sort of a stream of conscious rant. Thanks for reading.

Cool! I liked what you did with the powers
Hee! Thanks.

I love that Xander had questioned Buffy on if marrying Angel was the right thing and that Buffy gave him the chance to say ‘I told you so’ one time. Spike’s meeting with Dawn was so sweet. Giles’ call to Buffy was so perfectly in character and I loved how Buffy handled it. I enjoyed that the powers took care of Angel and apologized promising that he would never interfere with their lives again. Spike’s suggestion to Giles of how to show there are no hard feelings gave me a chuckle as did Dawn’s comment about keeping Angle in hell and the reaction from Buffy, Spike, and Xander. Thanks so much for such an enjoyable story.
Thanks, Robyn. I'm glad it rang true for you. Thanks for reading.

great chapter, yay Faith pointed out Angel was more Angelus now he was human. I dont trust that the powers will punish Angel, I mean they chose him as a champion in the first place so the must be a bit daft in the head. more soon pls
Um - it's over. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I don't think the powers are real happy with him right now - and Spike and Buffy (and the other Slayers) are all champions too, so I don't expect them to cut him much slack.

Great chapter. Angel certainly showed his true colors to everyone didn't he?

I hop[e the powers put him in detention for a few centuries until he learns to stop regarding people as property.
LOL - Thanks - I'm sure they'll keep him for a while.

Wonderful story! I loved the ending. Thanks for the fun read! :)
Thanks for reading and reviewing.:)

Oh my gosh! Angel is an even bigger jerk than I originally thought he was. I can't believe he did what he did. When will Giles learn? Spike was always questioned on every front and every motive. Giles just accepts what Angel says as fact without checking with Buffy first?

I loved Dawn taking on Wood. I so would have loved to have seen Dawn put the smack down on him. Buffy's threats were spot on to how she would be feeling. That should have clued Faith in real quick about how serious Buffy was.

When Willow and Xander came in behind Buffy, Spike and Dawn to support them, I was all YEAH!! Great work.

This whole story was pretty awesome from start to finish. Course I was all gagging with the Bangel in the first chapter, but it was OOhhhhh so worth it for the rest of what we got. {smiles} Excellent work, and I always look forward to more of your stories.
Thanks, Tasha. I'm glad you liked it and made it through the Bangel.

Aww, happy Spuffy is always the way to go. I'm glad the Poof got what he deserved. Alive or dead, the man is always an idiot. Well, I'm sad to see this story go already. Any chance for an epilogue or something? Yeah, I had to try. Anyway, this was a great story. I really enjoyed it=)
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. But, no, no plans for an epilogue (not even more sex) - just going to tiptoe quietly away and leave them to their reunion.

10/30/2006 04:48 am
Fun little piece. I'm not normally a bash fan, but this was enjoyable.

Thanks - I'm glad you didn't mind the Angel bashing. I just have a hard time writing him as anything but a jerk. LOL Although, in a few stories he's a good guy and comes through for Spike and Buffy when they need him....

10/30/2006 02:52 am
You gotta love it when Angel gets his just reward and Spike and Buffy get each other! *wink*
Yep, yep - that's what writin' Spuffy is all about. :)

10/30/2006 02:26 am
Oh, that was Great!!! :) :) :)

But, is that the end? Because if it is, it's still a Great ending. But I'm hoping there's going to be more, I just don't have any idea where your going to go from here. Of course if you want to write 10 or 20 chapters of hot sexy porn, I'm good for that too. :)

Speaking of Angel. Do you think the Powers might have finally given him his true reward? Being a love slave in a homo demon bordello. I mean, he must have earned the nickname "Peaches" somehow? :)
Hee! Thank you. Yep, that's it.
