I was kind of wondering why some parts of this fic sounded so familiar - bsv challenge 238! Yahoo!! =D

I was hoping that someone would pose a response fic to that - and this fic is awesome!
yeah, i took a lot of this from it, but didn't choose to directly answer the challenge since there's quite a bit that's going to be different in this fic :P

Wow what a chapter. I did not expect this. Poor Spike. I don't really care about Angel. I can't wait to read how all of this will affect Spike, Angel and Buffy. Maybe Angel will go to Los Angeles sooner. Please update soon.
thanx, love, glad you liked it :) and really, everyone would be better off if angel *did* go to los angeles :P

excellent update, thank you. angel's soul never was good for anything. spike paid a big price for burning up the chip, soul and visions of the future.
thanx, love, gald you liked it :)

Oh and another thought....Angel's soul doesn't make him "good" any more than Warrens did him....he can still have that soul and chose to ignore the conscience...deal with the guilt the same way human mass murderers do. All that trust put into the power of the soul to make him good may be shown as fruitless trust. Angel (on his own show, especially S5) showed he is quite capable of making "hard choices" and doing "not good" things.....now if he doesn't love Buffy...hum.......

Kathleen
very good point, love, and hitting on a pivotal point of the rest of this story...angel's darker side is not only there when he has no soul ;P

That is Angel in a nutshell....a large part of him really doesn't want the soul or he would seek to anchor it in some way. That was so insightful of you at the reinsouling!

Dru is going to be despairing having lost both of her boys...Angel will need to tend to her now and that is as it should be. Like that he is over HIS obsession with Buffy (even if he is only just getting that clue).

Poor Spike....he's had all that to deal with coupled with visions!!! Whew!!! Wonder how far in the future he did see. Did it go to The Gift and Buffy dying or as far as Chosen and his own dusting in the hellmouth? Not asking (know you will reveal all in good time) but sure am wondering.

Lovely character voices with the Scoobies and Giles too.

Excellent, consequences indeed. The fat is truly in the fire now.

thanx, love, so glad you enjoyed the chapter...spike, dru, angel, buffy, they're all going to have a lot to deal with...things should get very interesting :)

"and much stronger than he had been when Buffy had brought him to Giles’ apartment – in fact, much stronger than he should have been, even considering the dose of Slayer’s blood he had had to speed his healing."

I took that to mean Spike is stronger then normal, but I guess healing makes sense.
glad you think so :P

Wow, no chip and all souled up, poor Spike already feel in love with Buffy. How confusing for him. Angel's not sure if he wants to keep his soul, that's honest for a change. Wonder what he's going to do with Dru, she can't take care of herself any more. So happy that Spike already rid of the chip, so he can put a hurt on Xander when he can get away with it. Great update, thanks, can't wait for Buffy to find out about his soul and Angels rejection of her. More soon, please.
yeah, angel's situation is going to prove to be a bit more serious than it might appear at the moment...thanx, love, for your kind review :)

Revelations all round!! But poor Spike has had the triple whammy! Excellent chapter.
yep, this is going to be pretty hard on him :( thanx, love :)

You know, if I throw enough darts at the dart board, eventually a few will hit a bullseye. Granted, when you throw about 4 twists into a story, makes it easier.

Future Sins Past...the title now makes complete sense. Didn't see the chip, didn't see Angel's soul...

...and I sense there is more to this story. Spike was too strong...so unless I am reading too much into this, there is more then what we know.
lol...i said this one was gonna be really twisty :P thanx, love....
p.s. what do you mean about him being too strong? because i mentioned that the spell also resulted in his injuries being healed

Excellent twists and turns to the story line. Can't wait to see where you take us next with this!
thanx, love :)

You sure have a lot in the mix here! Can't wait to see how it all plays out -- so many possibilities. Thanks!
lol...let's see if i can handle it all, yeah? :)

I'm feeling a bit psychic here, LOL. Chip gone, soul restored, and visions of the future to come....yep, yep, those PTBs don't do anything small.

Hmm...and an Angel who doesn't love Buffy...at least not in the same way, anymore.
lol..yeah, you were a bit right on the money, love...and as for angel...yeah...that's gonna be a problem :P

ooohhhh *goes and pulls Spike into her arms and cuddles him protectively*
awww...

Nice. I've always wondered about the idea of Angel not being strong enough to live with the soul. He certainly seemed to cave under it in AtS, so the idea of him actively seeking to have it taken away is not far out of the realm of possiblity.
yeah, but the thing is, he might not need to seek to have it taken away...if he doesn't want it...if he wants to be free from the constraints of conscience...he's just a tiny bit away from being there, you know?

05/01/2007 03:27 am
You really have it in for Xander, don't you? Not that he doesn't deserve it. Very interesting twist for Angel - gets his soul back and bummer, doesn't want it any more.
well, xander was always a bit of a bigot when it came to vamps.. :P lol...glad you liked the chapter, love :)

05/01/2007 03:10 am
ooh - cool turn. Angel's back, but he's not sure he wants to be. Good twist.
thanx, love, glad you like it :)

05/01/2007 02:33 am
Ahh... I see :) I just hope Spike realizes that the future doesn't have to be set in stone. And... can't wait to see if Buffy finds him in his hiding place...
he'll figure it out :) thanx, love :)

Whoa Whoa Whoa! Angelus is a certified psycho. Please say he gets a nice and gory demise, sometime soon for his evil ways! And poor Spike - he has had it rough, tho I hope this spell allows him to see clearer about what he needs to do? I love it. Can't wait for more, pretty please?
lol...well, he will definitely end up suffering most likely...and as for spike, things are definitely about to get very interesting for him...thanx, love :)

Wait, huh? Spike has his soul back too? Was that an accident of Willow's, or a result of Dru's spell? Well, at least the bloody chip is gone, and that's something to be way thankful for :D
it was dru's spell...in english, dru's spell said basically to take away what was unnatural (his chip) to give back what was taken from him (the soul) and to give him his destiny (dual meaning...his destiny is buffy, obviously, since this is spuffy...but as an accidental result of her madness and probably botching the spell a bit, it actually allowed him to *see* "destiny", the future as it would be before he was allowed to see it ... you see?) does that sort of make more sense? :)

thanx for your kind review, love, glad you're still into it ;)

Wow. HUGE chapter. So much going on...so much to think about...so, so intense. What an amazing writer you are...please update soon!
awww, thanx so much, love :) you're giving me warm fuzzies, you're so sweet :)
