Second Youth by Ariel Dawn Great time travel story - I really love how you took Buffy back with the great gift of her second chance at having her love and life with Spike and at the same time not having the story go through the past events. The events you chose were just right to touch back to some of the most significant events for all the characters in the history of the series and still making this read like new adventures. Well Done - it's not every story that you re-read that gives you as much enjoyment as the first reading. Great reading this one again - I've read this three times now and enjoyed it just as much. One of my favorite time travel stories. This was just what I needed. A funny, touching story where Buffy asserts herself, enjoys herself and is just as full of life as she always wanted to be. I laughed out loud so many times... it was great. Very uplifting and lighthearted without being sugary 'air'. Thank you Blue 09/11/2010 02:43 pm Squish LOVE IT Eskarina 10/14/2008 07:51 pm Squish I enjoyed reading all of Second Youth with all my heart. luckily my first -complete- reading was on a weekend. I could barely step away from my computer, even if my eyes hurt :D I'm guessing you are a professional writer or a very,very tallented amateur teen. anyway, wow! just wow Eskarina 10/12/2008 09:06 pm Squish great stories. this is all I've been doing this Sunday, reading "Second youth" LCF 10/06/2008 05:41 am Squish Just discovered this fine Spuffy fic, & I have only two tiny complaints: One of course is that it ended. Two? would have been a lot more fun if Spike had thrown Angel a beating as he did in "Destiny". As for Riley..? humilation would have to suffice. (would've been nice if Buffy staked him with a plastic stake...) You're handling of Warren, however, was beyond brilliant!! Sending him to prison with Spike's chip..? PURE GENIUS! On the Spuffy scale of 1 to 10..? 13.75. Bravo! LCF Great second reading - and I like your happy ending for Buffy and the solution to The Slayers - First Evil arc. Thanks! Jason Barnett 04/02/2008 12:43 am Squish Why, exactly, did you choose to have what happened to Willow happen? I can't help but notice that this story the same thing that the real season 6(and earlier) had. They talk AT Willow instead of with her. They lecture instead of teach. They warn of vague boogeymen instead of legitimate problems. No one ever mentioned people like Rack to Willow. In fact I think Buffy nearly killed him, but doesn't even mention him to Willow that I saw. It's like people expecting Reefer Madness to be an effective anti-drug message. How exactly does a "witchy" Buffy, who knows what happened to Willow justify keeping it a secret instead of working with her? I'm not going to try and excuse myself. I didn't set out to fix everything in the sixth season, and I felt that it would not be true to Buffy's character if she could fix everything. I'm sure there are those that would debate that point with me. There are flaws in all the characters, that's why we write about them. In this particular fic, my goal was to have Buffy attempt to fix her life, but given the enormity of the task, and reliving the past that she was so nostalgic for, presented certain blinders. Thank you for your review. Strawberries 07/17/2007 04:38 pm Squish Despite the fact I really don't like the ending, it's a good fic :) Again: you can be proud of yourself! Thanks! Jags 05/24/2007 03:06 am Squish Absolutely loved it. keep up the good work Thanks! smlcspike 04/16/2007 12:38 am Squish Oh that was great. Thanks! tina 01/12/2007 03:14 pm Squish I read the whole thing last night in one go. Totally hilarious! I was laughing out loud over & over again. This will definitely be bookmarked. Thanks! Aww you are too sweet! skyz 10/21/2006 06:19 am Squish Yo, great fic here. Happy!Buffy is a good Buffy. I really liked the angst wasn't hard core and Buffy was light and happy. Spike was good in this as well. Loved that you made Buffy and Anya be better friends too. All around this was a damn good fic. Awesome. Thanks! All4Spike 10/18/2006 05:00 am Squish This is one of the funniest and best fics I have ever read... and I've read a lot! So wonderful to have a cheerful carefree Buffy willing to own her feelings... what a difference it made! If only it could have been Amanda... or Rona... or Vi... Molly's accent was atrocious! lol, but I liked Molly! lol...good ending to a well-told story...love that they managed to avert disaster with the first....great story all around :) Thanks! Emily 08/20/2006 08:41 am Squish I had trouble believing you were going to be able to make a happy season six, but congrats you did. Great fluffy goodness:D I have finished this story in this one day; i had trouble walking away. Sorry for the short and quite possible incoherent review, but going on 3 and a half hours of sleep is wearing me down. Great job, and I'm sure ill be reading more of you soon:D So happy you liked it! Thanks for reading! well, only several months or so behind everyone else i've finally finished this! loved this fic so much and i'm off now to read the sequal! yay! So glad you liked! Chris 01/12/2006 03:32 am Squish This was recommended in livejournal's buffyverse top 5. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop - it was that good! I read it all in one go. Made me laugh out loud several times. Loved the characterisations. Well done! Thank you so much! Molly Rosenberg 01/09/2006 09:10 pm Squish I know I've already read this but I had the sudden urge to read it all again, fabulous! You really are a very talented writer. Thanks so much! Hee, I really liked this story! It was very fun to read. :D Thanks! das_confusion 11/17/2005 07:36 am Squish Great story. And yay Molly! Yay Molly Indeed! that's the end? great story...but...that's the end? :( That's the end...there will be a sequel yes I loved it but I desperately need a sequal :P Yes, and as ever, no Second Youth sequel until Wulfie updates! Strawberries 07/17/2007 04:21 pm Monsters in the Closet Yay! Andrew is fun! And: I've read a lot of fics in which Dawn has all kinds of mystical key powers and such, but it was never with the opening-doors-thingy, it's original and cool! Thank you! awww...i love dawn's growing affection for andrew...too bad willow's learned nothing thus far, though...great chapter, on to the last :) Thanks for reading! Strawberries 07/17/2007 04:07 pm A Willow in the Land of Denial Oh I was really hoping this part could just be avoided... Despite the fact that I don't like the situation in itself, I really like the way you handled it. Great chapter! Thanks! i hope willow actaully listens to her this time...hope it all works out..and i'm so glad taht anya dumped xander at the altar this time...she needed to have that sort of control over her own life, not cowtowing to his every desire...great chapter :) Glad you like! yeah, willow managed to get everybody settled down...but i'm a bit worried about her, too...this could get bad :( great chapter though :) Thanks! Eskarina 10/12/2008 05:39 pm Scantily Clad Men...uh Demons "“You aren’t on the guest list man,” said Murray. “And it’s the Slayer who’s hired us all tonight.” “Who, is my bloody mate, mate.” “Makes no difference, Spike,” said Murray. “She’s the freakin’ Slayer.” " PRRRiCELESS! :D Strawberries 07/17/2007 03:31 pm Scantily Clad Men...uh Demons This chapter was such fun to read! It's like weddings and birthdays and christmas in fanfics, I love it! Thanks for reading! uh-oh...that could spell trouble for anya and xander's relationship..but that could actually be a good thing...maybe they *should* split up...great chapter, pet :) Thanks! Pooor inadequite xanderwith his overly small penis and lack of stamina :P lol Excellent 04/01/2010 03:15 pm Soldier Girl Eskarina 10/12/2008 05:33 pm Soldier Girl fabulous turnover of "As you were". thank you, thank you, thank you for making up a happy Season 6. wow...i loved seeing their reactins, but not so sure as to the wisdom of telling as much as they did to sam and riley...great hilarious chapter though :) What they tell sam and riley has concequences in the sequel “What a bitch,†said Willow. And they took this long to figure it out ?:P apparently Strawberries 07/17/2007 02:39 pm Bite Me Good chapter! This is a really nice fic, even more so now that I've rid myself of the butterfly-effecty feeling that kept screaming: "You shouldn't alter the future! Aaaaargh!" :) Thanks! cant wait to see riley's reaction when he sees who her husband-to-be is...great chapter :) Thanks! crimsinsky 06/30/2013 08:09 pm The Big 1-2-3 This chapter is perfection! Happy tears.
Eskarina 10/14/2008 07:45 pm The Big 1-2-3 a delicious read eventhough second time around, but I bet it'll be so the thirtieth time around. you write really really well. the lines on those cards really made me hold my breath and relive those key moments in their relationship !and the way you plotted things, is just incredible. awww, thanks so much! Eskarina 10/12/2008 05:01 pm The Big 1-2-3 I've been trapped in front of my computer since the fisrt of these stories and when I thought it couldn't get any better it did. And I've only just finished reading "The Big 1-2-3" and there's more! And it's all full of surprises. you really made my day. :) yay! Strawberries 07/17/2007 02:20 pm The Big 1-2-3 That was such a nice and sweet chapter! Allthough Xander's blind-joke, not so nice and sweet, but hey, it's not like he knows it's not that funny :P Thanks for reading! another great chapter, beautifully romantic....love spike's way of proposing, very well done :) Thanks so much! Strawberries 07/17/2007 02:00 pm Exposition That's nice of you, to let them have the good parts but make the bad parts go away (to prison in this case :P) That was a nice conversation about Halfrek, the way you describe these things makes them really good to read :) Thank you! wow...that was unexpected...lol..not so much, actually...i hope they can avert the whole deal with the first, that would be great...great chapter :) Thanks! Nikkole 01/17/2006 02:41 am Exposition OK, that last line from Anya was just pricless!! Sorry I haven't reviewed until now, I was so into the story that I forgot. Forgive me please??
I really like this story. Thanks Strawberries 07/17/2007 03:19 am Recognition Yay! As you offcourse know, in the series Halfrek and Spike actually meet, recognize each other and then there's no further mention of the fact that Hallie is in fact Cecily. I really hated that because it would've made a good episode... Glad you put it out there for all to enjoy... Can't wait to read it! Thanks! well, in reality -- so to speak -- his reaction wasn't that bad...so i wonder why she's so worried this time...but i hope that hallie doesn't hurt spike again in any way....great chapter :) Thanks! lol...warren's getting away...very slowly...lol...that totally cracked me up...very good chapter all around, thoroughly enjoyed every bit...great job :) Thanks so much! Strawberries 07/17/2007 02:53 am Singing Spike Cool chapter!

(Much better then step-thing-Valery from your other fic!) And again: really good chapter! Thanks! i love the awkward, grudging okay-ness developing between spike and xander...and i love the scene with her dad...great job on this fic, love :) Thanks so much! Strawberries 07/16/2007 04:28 pm The Crantanouk Champion of Sunnydale is... Wow, that's a good idea! With the scythe and the one slayer! You're really good at making everything dear mr. Joss tourtured us with better :P Thanks! i love xander's reaction....made me sigh though...that boy will never learn...great chapter though :) No, he will never learn. But such is the way of Xander Strawberries 07/16/2007 04:15 pm Naked Challenge Whahaha, nice working the demon into the dentist appointment. And I like the fact that Buffy is doing mundane things like going to the dentist, she doesn't do that kind of stuff on the series :P You described the fight-for-the-mate really well, and witchy-Buffy is way cool! Thanks! lol...love her visit to the dentist, very funny and cute ... i feel bad for the poor dental hygienist....lol..great chapter :) Thanks! Kathy 09/22/2005 06:00 am Naked Challenge Got hooked on this when another author (I've actually forgotten which one), mentioned it in one of there back to the past stories. I have thoroughly enjoyed. Really hope you do a sequel. Glad Molly got it, though Vi was my first choice. Thought Molly was hilarious. Would definitely like to read some of her slayer adventures... and so you shall! margaret 09/22/2005 05:59 am Naked Challenge great story, i hope you do a sequel because i love the buffy from the future, i love that she knows what she wants and how to get it. also bonus points for tara not dead kennedy not there warren punished! thanks Thanks for reading! Brittany 09/22/2005 05:59 am Naked Challenge SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok Heather 09/22/2005 05:58 am Naked Challenge Amanda was my fave potential, but Molly was good too. I'd love a sequel. Please, write one. You did such a great job on this one. It just doesn't seem complete and if you don't continue there will be this hole that never got filled. :) lol ~*~Tasha~*~ 09/22/2005 05:58 am Naked Challenge
I am ALL for NO Kennedy for Season 7. I hated that bitch. She was annoying, bossy, and I just hated her.
I loved this story front to back. It is always nice to see things turn out better and without so much angst. Very nice. Loved it. I always look forward to your next story.
I've been reading Living Vengeance even before it posted to the BSV. Look forward to where you go with that one too.
Thanks! Strawberries 07/16/2007 04:02 pm Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires Aaargh! My head! Pictures of naked Angel burned on the inside of my skull! Aaaargh! Get them out! *cringing* You'd better get me a naked Spike in the next chapter :P Sorry, no naked Spike :( oh wow...i'm all nervous now...i hope spike doesn't get hurt...great chapter :) I wouldn't let Spike get hurt. Thanks for the review! 02/14/2006 01:19 am Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires “Don’t do anything stupid out there,†she warned. “Me?

Thanks! Confused Muse 09/22/2005 05:57 am Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires Wow, nicely done, and all complete. Did I mentioned I like happy endings? :)
Sequel couldn't be bad, especially with a little more growing up form some of the less mature Scoobies (mentioning no Willow's or Xander's) Thanks! chanel 5 09/22/2005 05:56 am Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires congrats! what a great story!!! :) thanks. Thanks for reading! Franchesca 09/22/2005 05:56 am Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires Doubel Happy Dance. I LOVED the ending. What could be better than alive Tara and no Kennedy? Not much in my books Rae 09/22/2005 05:56 am Frost Monsters and Stupid Vampires Would definetly love a sequel! Getting a happy season 7 with Molly training Spike and Buffy lovin' and Tara would be fantastic. Great ending to a great fic. Thanks Rae! Strawberries 07/16/2007 03:51 pm Manic Monday Gheh, so she just forgot about the trio of wannabe-evil losers then? What, she couldn't remember to lock up the guys that are killing Tara if she doesn't? I'm thinking she brought 122-year-old-forgetfullness with her :P Maybe, maybe not :) good...get the nerds taken care of before they can do too much damage...i am seeing a trend, here, though...and i'm thinking that buffy may find out there are some things she just can't change.... :( great chapter, though :) It's a distinct possibility DK 09/22/2005 05:55 am Manic Monday Great ending! Really did like Molly so I am glad she is back or here? Anyway, thanks for not calling Kennedy. How about sequel, without losing Spike? How about Angel or Dru volunteering? Hmmm, I don't know if I'll have Angel and Dru make an appearance in the sequel, it's an intriguing idea though MarzBar 09/22/2005 05:55 am Manic Monday Hey, the ending surprised me somewhat (not expecting it yet) so YAY, sequel. Definitely an alive Tara is good. No Kennedy, YAY. Very big yay for no Kennedy! tiff 09/22/2005 05:54 am Manic Monday loved it !! sequal please your staory was so great Thanks! karyn 09/22/2005 05:54 am Manic Monday season 6 was so much better your way...lol

Excellent chapter update. Thanks Tasha! Strawberries 07/16/2007 03:38 pm Lazy Sunday Yay! Parties are good! Though I hope no-one is stupid enough to say 'I wish...' :) we can only hope lol...i love how buffy has all this knowledge and is able to help them..it's sad, but realistic, though, that she probably wont really be able to help xander and anya...xander's got to get over his issues on his own i think....great chapter :) Thanks for reading! MarzBar 09/22/2005 05:53 am Lazy Sunday Willow is getting dangerous fast now. How will Buffy fix that? Will she fix it all???? Oracleholly 09/22/2005 05:53 am Lazy Sunday *up to chap 28*
Great stuff, honey! Anya's elevation was a nice touch. Xander really needs to make up his mind about Anya -- and go her with demanding respect. Love it.
Chap 28's happy day -- seemed like a spell also -- was wondering if Trick was about or something Willow cooked up. Thanks for reading OHolly! MarzBar 09/22/2005 05:52 am Lazy Sunday Love this old smart Buffy put into young stupid Buffy body. I hope she can actually fix some of the bad things (like save Spike and Anya) and not mess up other things. More soon please. Thanks for reading! Henke 09/22/2005 05:52 am Lazy Sunday Great chapter.

Freddie 09/22/2005 05:41 am Tabula Rasa - Tuesday I love this story, it's really cute and light all round. A refreshing change from the angst ridden fics that seem to be so popular lately! 
Apart from the fact that i can stop picturing the Slayer as a granny she really is, i think it's great. I love how you made her smart and have magick. Can't wait for more! Thanks! chanel #5 09/22/2005 05:40 am Tabula Rasa - Tuesday MMM. Very ...Cute. Thanks! GoldenBuffy 09/22/2005 05:40 am Tabula Rasa - Tuesday Noooo, Buffy can't stop being a slayer.

Loved the chappie, public/ semi-private sex, yeah! Thanks! BloodyTearsOfLife 09/22/2005 05:39 am Tabula Rasa - Tuesday Oh, I'm sensing some foreshadowing.

I always liked the Hallie and Cecily angle of things. Look forward to the next update.
Always love this story.
FYI ... I met Kali Rocha a couple weeks back. She said that the Hallie/Cecily was something Josh intentionally put into the Season 6 script where Spike and Hallie see each other. {Smiles} Just a little tidbit of info there. Cool! Strawberries 07/16/2007 04:27 am Monday Whahaha Spike on a date is already fun, and it hasn't even started yet :P On a different note: She'd better find a way to get him out of the Hellmouth alive this time or I'll kick you :D (I believe that's the second time I've threatened you with the kicking... sorry... I get carried away sometimes ;)) lol, don't worry.

GoldenBuffy 09/22/2005 05:37 am Monday Love sining Spike, I only wish I could hear him,lol. Buffy bot under Willow's bed O.o..... do I see some smut on her part with a certain robot's hand? lol lol, I'm not telling! Strawberries 07/16/2007 04:14 am Sunday Aargh, why can't I shake the feeling that she's messing with things she shouldn't be messing with? The letter to the council was just great, smartypants Buffy = cool :P Thanks! great cahpter, loved the convo with willow and taking out the demon lady...great job with buffy's to-do list...can't wait to read more :) Thanks! chanel 5 09/22/2005 05:36 am Sunday everything about this fic has been so sweet. It's lovely to read a beautiful, lighthearted story about our two favourite characters. I loved spike singing, so funny, and with the white tshirt? yum! You know what I'd love to see, that top he wore when he went to the DMP in the episode DMP. I think that he looked so nice in that, and buffy didn't say anything. And that is why I like fanfic better then the actual show... :) Can't wait for the update! Glad you enjoyed it! BloodyTearsOfLife 09/22/2005 05:36 am Sunday Heh. Sometimes the scoobies are just weird. So what the heck is Willow doing with Buffy bot parts? I love how you made Spike be kind of random, he makes me smile. And Anya, fiction wise, she's turning into one of my other favorite characters. Anywho, hope to more of this (and a certain challenge) soon! :) Glad you like! Kawaki 09/22/2005 05:35 am Sunday I think the Buffybot being under the bed is weird too. oh ya Peyton 09/22/2005 05:33 am Sunday Read from 1-18 todayand thoroughly enjoed it! You give great humor! Thanks! BloodyTearsOfLife 09/22/2005 05:33 am Sunday I'll have you know that I stayed up late just to read your story. heh. Anywho, I wanted to say fab on the new chapter. I'm really liking the friendship between Buffy and Anya. Update soon! *giggle* thanks! i like buffy calling spike "love"..nice little switch...great chapter...more now :) Thanks! BloodyTearsOfLife 09/22/2005 05:32 am Saturday “You tell anyone that I sat and watched Python with you I’ll bloody tear out your soddin’ throat.â€Â
I really loved the last scene. That so was Spike. I am so happy I got time to read this fic. The sugar daddy thing was very funny. And I know I mentioned it to you but the part were buffy sneaks into Spike's bed, I totally feel in love with that part. It was just so...I don't know how to describe it but it was one of my favorite scenes so far. I can just imagine Spike saying what he said.
I really like it, different from any other fic I've read. The characters were very well written. Hope to see more of this soon! Thanks BTL! *hugs* lyn 09/22/2005 05:32 am Saturday Fun Fun Fun Thanks ~*~Tasha~*~ 09/22/2005 05:31 am Saturday Awesome chapter 17. Loved the Thanksgiving thing. I was laughing so hard when I read that Caprice was a Brownie. LOL! Hank's going to marry a demon. Too funny. Loved the little bonding session of sorts with Xander and Spike. hehehe, ya I liked that part too! stephanie 09/22/2005 05:31 am Saturday WOnderful wonderful - you so rock! So fab! I love this story so so so sosososososo much! Can I say how much! I was in withdrawl from being on vacation! Love that Hank's girlfriend is a Brownie! he he you are so good! lol, thanks! chanel 5 09/22/2005 05:30 am Saturday that was great!
really sweet :) Thanks I'm so glad that I decided to read this story again - I love your future wise, joyful and grateful Buffy. Love the ending line. Strawberries 07/15/2007 09:44 pm Friday Whahaha, Buffy as Head Watcher Chica is a nice little mental picture :P I thought it was funny wow...but i could so see that happening...i love the advice she's pouring out to everyone...great chapter :) Thanks so much! Rhonda 09/22/2005 05:30 am Friday This was just great to read. I can't believe how it all came out and I could just picture it within my mind. Thanks! Oracleholly 09/22/2005 05:29 am Friday re: 15-16
Okay first ewwww with the naked Angel on the front yard. Geesh. But go Buffy with the white witchy power!
And I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the engagement party with the demons in attendance! And look at Willow with trying out the demon cooking. I fear Buffy's stomach will never quite be the same.
I don't think Buffy has thought that whole Scythe thing through though. Having only one Slayer - would it kill Faith? would one of them only lose their powers? it's tricky and by her messing up that part of the timeline...that would fail to give Dawn & Andrew a real chance to become friends, hence the daughter & granddaughter that Buffy misses so deeply.
Please update soon. Glad you liked! chanel 5 09/22/2005 05:29 am Friday Daddy? don't remember this happening first time round. please update soon :) Thanks for the review! DK 09/22/2005 05:28 am Friday This is a great update. Can't wait until Spike gets undressed for this fight. We need pictures of it. mmm that we do Kattie 09/22/2005 05:28 am Friday Wounderful update! I can't wait for more plz update soon! Glad you liked! scarlett2u 08/17/2010 02:39 pm Thursday I am so loving this story! Not that I'm surprised, seeing as how "Walking a Mile" is one of my all-time faves. I simply love your way with humor and dialogue. It makes me cheer and laugh out loud. In fact, I keep startling myself with the LOLing. Especially when Buffy tells Giles that a sacred duty won't keep her in gummy bears. Ah, good times. Thanks so much for writing this. I can't wait to read more. Strawberries 07/15/2007 09:27 pm Thursday Still, the 'itsnotright'-feeling continues to settle nice and comfortably into my belly... while of course, the rest of me gets carried away with how great it is that Spike's got a chance to live and Buffy's got a chance to make everything turn out just fine :D I'm glad you are enjoying the fic! hmmm..i'm wondering what she just did, and when did buffy get all with the magic? love how she's progressng with spike, and her list of things to do...great chapter ;) Thanks! Oh yeah you know this is a great fic, right?? Well you keep telling me that... OMFG you are cracking me up with the "teeth" and the "sacred duty that isn't paying for my gummy bears" LMFAO Glad you like jennifer 09/22/2005 05:25 am Thursday I want to see the author do a happy dance!
Great update, can't wait for more. lol, thanks! Stephanie 09/22/2005 05:25 am Thursday Really great update Ariel. I loved it as always (hence the reading it while sitting here in Poland! LOL) It was so fab! I loved her pulling down her teeth chcking to see if it real, and the problems she encountered with not wanting to tell Anja about the wedding or Dawn about her death. ::Sniff:: So wonderful! Anyway Love it love it love it. Need more please! Thanks Steph! tam 09/22/2005 05:24 am Thursday Love, love, love this story. thanks! Stacy 09/22/2005 05:24 am Thursday Wow! You've created your own little universe, haven't you? I love it. I love how Buffy's all wise and capable now. And I like the little snippets of what's to come. I love how Buffy's been married a bunch. In fact, there's not anything I don't love. One thing, If Spike doesn't get a soul, he can't use the amulet, so why hasn't Buffy realized that yet. Can't wait to read more. The party should be a blast! Buffy has plans... lovesbitca 09/22/2005 05:24 am Thursday hey, i'm just loving this, it's great. I love hos Buffy is trying to do things differently, making Anya part of her inner circle. Please continue! glad you like! In for another great Spuffy reading of this wonderful Buffy comes back story. This is one of my favorite Buffy-Spuffy stories. I love this story. I love the Buffy in this story. She's so light and breezy, the way she used to be before Angel got his talons into her. And she's funny. I think you pegged her very well. Thanx for this story :) I love that line "Think about it Giles, I was a hundred and twenty two, what do you think I was doing?" Thanks! Strawberries 07/15/2007 07:17 pm Wednesday This is really cute and all that... it's just... I keep thinking changing the future is of the not-so-goodie... I mean hey... hasn't she learned ANYTHING from Harry Potter and his stupid timeturners! All I'm saying here; maybe Buffy needs a little Dumbledore-y advice about leaving things to be as they're supposed to be. Then again... maybe future Buffy is meant to be... And I don't want Spike to die so I'm eagerly devoting myself to what you think is 'supposed' to happen :P Thanks for reading! oh this could be so good!! i don't see any reason why they'd have to send her back...great start, on to more :) Thanks! soxfan 09/22/2005 05:23 am Wednesday Great story. I really like your writing style. It reads so fast -doesn't drag, ever. I love from the future Buffy. Friendship with Anya? Awesome. And Buffy's obsession with her teeth? The funniest thing I've read in a long time. Everytime her teeth are even mentioned, I literally laugh out loud. Thanks for the story I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the compliment! redwulf50 09/22/2005 05:23 am Wednesday Excellent chappies lol, I love Buffy keeps checking her teeth :P Glad you like wulfie! lovesbitca 09/22/2005 05:22 am Wednesday ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I love this fic, it's nice to see a 'Willow does a spell' fic that doesn't dwell on the spell, but focuses on enjoying the consequences!
Great story so far, can't wait for the rest, dentures and all! :D Thanks! Kawaki 09/22/2005 05:22 am Wednesday This is probably one of the funniest spuffy stories I've ever read. I love it. It's fun. I need a break from angst. Update soon!!!! Thank you!
samson28 09/22/2005 05:21 am Wednesday Very much enjoying this so far, nice to see a cheerful Buffy and loving all of the teeth comments! Thanks!
