Epilogue : Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Great story. Everything moved along and the characters were well done. The only that might have been better ws a little less description of spike's cock as having a "drooling head". Once was fine but 2 & 3 times was a little eww. lol
Thanks. :-)

Epilogue : Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
SOrry it's taken me so long to review, but I've been without real interent access for the past month or so (they say it'll take a week to fix my laptop- liars!).
Yay for happy endings! I was smiling all through this epilogue.
This was a great story, and I really enjoyed readiong it!

Thank for sharing this fantastic tale. I look forward to reading another from you soon.
I've already told you how I love your writing--the way you write the characters, your clever plot, etc. but I'll tell you again! :-) Who was really more evil--Spike or Willow and Xander for their plot to destroy him? What a unique idea to have Willow remove his chip! It backfired, of course, but it gave Spike a chance to show he has really changed...although I'm glad Spike got to punch Xander a couple of times before he was pulled off. ha! And I'm glad that in your version Willow realized she had gone overboard with her magic.
Adia was fascinating. I hope you write a follow up story about her as she learns things aren't just black and white, but they can also be gray.
And I love the idea of them coming on vacation to Florida. Hey, Spike, you can stay at my house (and maybe I'll even let Buffy stay, too!)

Do What You Have To Do
Yay! She's giving him the benefit of the doubt!
I always do like it when Willow owns up to what an idoit she's been. I swear, that girl isn't addicted to magic, but the power to control other people.
Good, Adia's gone. I liked her at first too, but the minute you go after Spike, I have a hate on for them. lol

Lol... i liked her too....then I decided, to hell with her. Thanks for the review!
excellent read, thank you. love the promise of the last paragraph. do it red.
Thanks!
What a cliff hanger at the end of this chapter! I hope you plan to post the next chapter before I die of curiosity!
No. Not really. But if you do, I'll just bring you back. Lol. :-)

I hope Buffy blows up at Willow (which she should have done on the show, but that's besides the point).
Well apparently Giles's speech to Adia about greys didn't stick. Stupid little brat going after Spike. Glad Faith was there to save the day (she's one of my favs, so I love when she gets to be the hero).
So I'm thinking Willow is thinking about doing something to the chip? I'm hoping she does get it to stop working, just so Spike can prove that he's changed (yeah, I'm an optimist).
Can't wait for more.

Adia... grr. I kinda like her at the beginning, but she pissed me off, too. And now she's being bad.
So weird how you don't even know the characters until you write them.
Thanks for the review!

Outstanding. Willow and Xander are behaving completely in character for season 6. I hope Buffy doesn't push Spike away and instead responds to Willow with the appropriate anger at being manipulated and having her mind 'wiped', the way she should have on the show after Tabula Rasa. I can see that Willow's thinking about removing the chip. I wonder what Adia's going to get up to next... Buffy isn't going to be please she tried to stake Spike! I can't wait for the next instalment....
*sigh*
Willow's being a bad friend, I know.
Thanks for the review!

very good read, thank you. cannot decide if the line “Sometimes, Spike, I think I could love you, too.” is full of hope or sadness. both.
Definitely both. :-)
Thank you for another lovely chapter.
You're welcome! And thanks for all the reviews!

This was super cute.
Just a little filler chapter that popped into my head, :-) Thanks
You go, girl! In your version Giles and Buffy have both learned there are shades of gray and gained a much more realistic, healthy outlook. If they had done this in Joss's version of season 6, things would have been much better for everyone (especially for Spike!).
I love your twists to season 6. I look forward to reading more!

Great chapter.
It's good to see that Giles is teaching Aida early about the greys of the world, and Buffy has comet o accept them.
Thanks!

Another great chapter; I'm really enjoying this fic. I liked the way you juxtaposed the two threads in this story and tied them together thematically. It's nice to see Buffy's death has at least given her a new perspective. Looking forward to more :)
It was neat. :-) Thanks
Thanks for the chapter. Good to know Buffy has her head on straight about some things.
No, thank you!
I wondered how Spike would react to Angel's call. Got a bit jealous.
But Adia had fun being the slayer now. But I hope Giles will teach her about the grey areas too. She needs it.
Heh heh but Angel smelled Spike too. I'm glad that Buffy told him what she thought. Buffy learned that things can be grey too.

Angel's dumb. :-) But I just had to put him for at least one chapter. :-)

I managed to miss a chapter...
Venting is better than keeping it all bottled inside yourself. Or hitting Spike ;). Killing vamps was a greet stress relief too.
I liked Buffy's reaction when they noticed that Spike could bit her.
Xander could become a problem, his reaction was quite extreme (wanting to kill Spike). But Willow was hurting Buffy too. And now Spike is hurt because Buffy reacted not quickly enough, bowing to her friend again.
At last she made it up to Spike, telling the truth :)

Buffy with a backbone! I love it.
And honestly, what right do Willow and Xander have to judge her? I mean, look at their dating record. Jerks. I swear, if I had friends like that I would have dumped them LONG ago.
Can't wait for the next update.

I agree. :-) Thanks for the review!
I'm so happy to another update so soon. I've got you and this story favorited but don't get the updates. hmm. Thank goodness everything is out in the open now. Looking forward to another chapter.

I kinda Love that Willow went cocky and told her that because it was the best trigger to have Buffy tell her truth.
I love how you focused on the way that not all new slayers are created strong and ready; look at the variety in the season 7 pootentials. Luckily, Adia has Buffy, the Scoobies, and Spike. Loved the scene where Spike freaked her out in the cemetary But after telling Giles she was sleeping with Spike, Buffy added, "I need THIS." This? Not I need SPIKE? Oh dear, it sounds like Buffry is just using him again. Poor Spike. Bad Buffy!
THIS is Spike. THIS is everything that Spike is, and what he offers and how he helps her. Trust me, I'm the last one who wants to see Abusive!Buffy again.
very good update, thank you. loved the sadness of the second to last paragraph.
It was kinda sad, huh? Thanks for the review!

Adia
Great chapter. Nice that Buffy's slip came out. at least she'll know Giles is on her side. And poor Adia, but I'm sure she'll get the hang of things.
Thank you for a very enlightening chapter. I always look forward to your updates. This one was particularly grand.

Great chapter. Gotta feel sorry for Adia, but if she doesn't get control of her fear soon, she's not gonna live to get to that death wish phase.
Can't wait for more.

Good to be paid at last (especially when you have to pay bills). But they don't notice that Buffy is unhappy.
Well Spike did. :)
Adia *sigh* ... when she went out alone I feared for the worst.
Good to see Giles so understandable.

Oooooh! I love this one so far! Can't wait to read more! I read the first chapter over @ The Spuffy Realm and saw that more was up over here. Am so glad that I popped over to see what was new! I am SO glad somebody finally wrote about a third slayer. Have been wondering about that forever. More, soon, please?!

Haha, thanks. :-) I'm starting to go around and find more archives to post at, and I'm glad you're liking it so far. :-)
Good to see Buffy doesn't want this to be a onetime deal, being with Spike.
Looking forward to more.

I know... Buffy's attitude throughout seasaon six kinda pissed me off, so I'm changing it - and hopefully for the better.
Thanks for fabulous chapter!

very good chapter, thank you
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
Very nicely done of her own volition.
They just seem to write themselves sometimes, and I have no idea how, y'know? Thanks for the review!
She knows, but does she really? Thanks for the great update!
Haha, don't ask me - if she doesn't know, I don't think I do either... which is kinda weird.
A big promise Spike made to Buffy ("You are going to grow old and die happy, I promise you.") but hard to keep I guess. You can only try though to make it come true.
Hopefully Buffy won't regret getting near to Spike; because that would hurt him, again.

Trying not to hurt Spike, a lot. But sometimes it happens and then I just want to kick myself. :-)
Your writing style is really nice--almost poetic at times. It is a joy to read your use of words. Here is a sample of one of your lines:
"There were no tall shadows disgorging demons, no fresh graves churning with fledgling vampires." Marvelous!
I struggled so much with that line, it was ridiculous. But i'm glad I pulled it off so well! Thanks!
Very awkward for Buffy. It's a shame that everyone is so caught up in their own feelings not to notice. Interesting that a new slayer was called. Explanation forthcoming?
Probably not. It's just an idea I've had that there should've been another Slayer. But for this story, I'm taking it on faith - and hoping everyone else can,too - that, for whatever reasons, Buffy's death triggered another Slayer to be called.
I hope the crying helped Buffy a bit.
Getting a salary is good but seeing Giles being the other girl's slayer must have hurt.

It does. Hurt, I mean.
I hope you will continue this - I like it:)
I've actually got most of the chapters already written- I'm just purposefully spacing out the updates. :-)
“I won’t fail you again.” Oh, what a lovely line! It really sets the mood of the story. I really like your version of season 6--in fact, I can already tell I am going to like it much more than Joss's version!
Look! I'm replying to the reviews! lol. Thanks! - though Joss is God, and you musn't blasphemy like that.
would have enjoyed seeing this episode. good read, thank you.
Thank you for your thank you! :-)
Very sweet - Buffy showing up in her pajamas and tennis shoes.
Isn't it? Very... I want to say childish but that doesn't fit... innocent? Thanks for the review!
I like the start; looking forward to the rest.
The rest is on its way! lol, thanks for the review.
