Ugh, Buffy. I want to slap her with a frozen fish. She is so getting on my nerves. But I can't wait to find out how Will will react once he's turned and he knows that she the slayer.
lol. I guess that means I've got her characterization right? At least, I always felt like slapping Buffy on the show... :P

Thanks for reviewing. :)

So Buffy plays chess just like she plans her battles? Clever. Enjoying this!

Whoa, William moving in on Buffy fast - touching her hand, giving her presents and trying to teach the little nitwit to play chess. Another great chapter.

Absolutely lovely story. William seems so true to his character as a victorian gentleman. Buffy is working on fitting in (didn't know she could use the word "fornication") and it's fun to see them skirt around the customs. Victorian england courting must have been like two porcipines seeing just how close two people could get without actually touching. Very careful. Sorry to see that she actually forced William to "lie" to her in order to save face about the bracelet. Glad she's making it up to him. Such a great, sweet and lovely relationship possible for them in this time frame. Looking forward to updates!
Well, Buffy did score in the 1400s on her SATs so she must wicked verbal skills, even if she usually chooses not to use them. ;) I don't think she meant to make William lie, she just put him on the spot so he had little choice. But I don't think she holds it against him.

Thanks for the review. :)

Wow, so very good.
you have obviously studied this time period very extensively, which I admire because so many writers would have just slapped a corset on her, and called it a day.
Your descriptions of the different classes are particularly brilliant. As for the plot, I love how its going so far. I wonder though, if you intend to switch poin of views. So far it seems to be mostly Buffy's inner dialogue, which is great, but I sometimes feel like I want to know what William or Anne is thinking at a certain point.
5 stars! *****
I've always been fascinated by the Victorian era, so researching for this story was a pleasure. There will definitely be a shift in point of views soon, although it will mainly be to William rather than his mother. I'm trying to focus mostly on Buffy because it's harder for me to write her POV realistically so this story is like a challenge to myself.

Thanks for the nice review. :)

Thing's are still so black and white to her. So hard her to be Buffy and not the slayer. Glad that a small part of her is listening to the Buffy side of her nature. Don't want for her to take out her prejudice against Spike, out on William, he doesn't deserve it. Does this William write poetry? Will she be the reason he run's to Dru's waiting arm's? Will she rejected him, or will her disappearence, to her own time, do it? Like I said so many possibilites. Just love your fic, can't wait for your next updates, thanks.
This William definitely writes poetry, although we won't see evidence of it until later. As for the rest of the questions you'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the review. :)

Oh they are so cute. ; ) I wonder how far into a relationship they are going to get though before everything goes back to normal. And I wonder if William is going to get vamped or Buffy sent back first. Can't wait for more.
Well, although I won't say whether Buffy is going back to the future or not, it's a definite that things will never "go back to normal" for her.

Thanks for the review. :)

Hah - I'm taking a break from judging and beta chores to catch up on fics that I actually want to read. And now I'm all caught up. So - new chapter is ok, any time, whenever you're ready...*peers around* hmmm, still not here? Oh well.

LOL I'm loving this. I really like the realistic way that you are letting the relationship develop - it is just wonderful. And I love your William.
New chapters are on their way, I promise. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks for reviewing. :)

Oh wow, I absolutely fell in love with this story. Your characterization of William is just amazing, especially Buffy's reaction to him. I like that she's still weary of him because she remembers him as Spike, but he's slowly breaking down her notions of him. Ah, can't wait for more!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review. :)

I don't think I've ever had so much fun with a character as I've had with William. He's a very innocent man, but he isn't weak or lacking in passion and there are definitely elements of Spike there. I'm glad you like how I'm portraying him.

I was so happy to see this story up here. I had visited your site previously and now it is gone. I can't wait to see where you go from here. Please update soon.
Yes, I got tired of trying to maintain the site and since I don't really have a web designer's eye (or patience) I decided to just let it go. I'm glad you're enjoying the story, though. Thanks for reviewing! :)
