Ohhh no! What an evil cliffhanger!! Please update soon, cannot wait to see how this spell affects Spike and whether Buffy will believe him?
thanx, love, glad you enjoyed it, more as soon as possible :)

Wonderful chapter! I'm on the edge of my seat. Thank goodness you're such a prolific writer. This is a fantastic story...can't wait for more, as always!
thanx, love, glad you're enjoying it...more as soon as possible :)

Don't coddle these wankers, Dreams. They're getting a good story and they'll get it when you're good and ready to dish it out and not a minute before.

Good to see Xander not being a weakling (which he isn't) and Spike not being good, which he isn't most of the time either. It's more than a little disturbing that Buffy's willing to let Xander beat up Spike when she's already had one demonstration.
lol...thanx, love, for your kind, supportive words...glad you like where this is going so far...but the thing is, buffy wasn't sure after the first demo if spike was acting or not...she thinks under such a severe attack, he would definitely fight back if he could....

wow. Great chapter love. Can it get any worse for Spike? I don't think that's possible, but after reading your fics, it probably does get worse for him. Can't wait till the next chapter.
well, it could, but likely won't :P thanx, love....

Oooohhhhhhhh Gads the spell must be kicking in now of all times!

So happy Buffy at least listened even if she wasn't a believer in any way without proof. Xander is being a complete pig though.....it can't be completely personal because Spike hasn't been a thorn in HIS side too much yet.

Excellent update.

thanx, love, for your thoughtful review....and buffy is a much kinder, gentler buffy at this point in the show... :)
xander -- xander's just a vampire bigot, cause of the whole jesse thing :P *sigh*

It'll be interesting to find out what Dru's spell is actually doing. The thing I like best about this chapter is your portrait of Buffy. It would have been too easy to write her as going 100%, no-questions asked, ballistic. This Buffy wanted to believe Spike, and even more amazingly still does. Buffy before all the Angelus/Acathla damage is always a breath of fresh air. Thanks for another great chapter!!
thanx, love, glad you liked that...i was just watching season 2 discs, and in what's my line (just before this story picked up) buffy saw angel in his game face and she kissed him like that, telling him she hadn't even noticed...
now, that is *sooo* not the same girl that punched spike's face in in season 6 and called him an evil, disgusting thing....the angel fiasco led to buffy's later hardness, and i enjoy writing her now without that :)

Poor Spike! But then I'm really looking forward to what Dru did.
yeah, it might be a little bit of both good and bad :)

The obvious answer is a soul, but you already said it would be shocking for us, and I know you are more clever then that.

The next option is that Spike has just been made human. Again, however, unless I am overreading, i don't think that's it.

Personally, I am going to make two guesses. The first is based on the title: Future Sins Past, which I always felt was strange. My first guess is that Dru's spell just gave Spike all the memories of his past and future in one big jolt, letting him see exactly what is going to happen in full claritiy.

The second guess (and this might be because I read to much JackofSpike stories) is, based on the stars trickign her, Dru just switched Spike from being a demon inside a human to an angel, which is why he has new sensations and feelings.
all i will say is you have some interesting ideas, and more will be revealed within the next two chapters or so... :) thanx for your kind review, love, glad you're enjoying it :)

Awesomeness! looking forward to more! :)
thanx, love :)

One word for you Ms. Lady- evil... But I understand- suspense and all. Giving us just a taste and not the whole serving... I must know what's going on with Spike, so please, if you can, don't make the wait too long :D
lol...i know, sorry for being evil...but there will be more answers next chapter (i think :P)

04/28/2007 08:13 am
Yup, you are right, we want to find out about Dru's spell. Did she give him his soul back as well? Not that she meant to, but it's want he would need to be with her. Can't wait to find out, thanks for the update. I don't know how you do it, you're like the energizer bunny, you keep going and going and going and we apprciate it, thanks.
you'll find out very soon what happened with the spell, glad you liked this chapter :) thanx for your kind encouragement, love :)

Oh, poor Spike! *sics Jackie on Xander* Leave my vamp alone!
lol...cute little jackie....too bad she couldn't do too much damage :P

So we have the spell, possible ensouling, and possible visions. The Powers - otherwise known as Dru's "stars" or "pixies" have an agenda with our players, and things are about to get very interesting.

I like that Angelus tries to show concern for Dru, but doesn't know how to be 'caring' anymore, so his treatment is rough. His affection exists, even though he doesn't show it in a human way anymore.

And Buffy is still soft-hearted enough to listen and look....you have the girl correct, before she built the humongous post-Angel walls.
there will be answers very soon, promise.. :) glad you like angelus' reaction, that's how i pictured him responding given the circumstances...and thanx, i'm glad you like how i did buffy...she's not so terribly scarred at this point as she was in season 6... :P

answers very soon, love ;)
