The Garden of Good and Evil by Persephone Brit Girl 02/09/2013 02:18 am The Long Road to Happiness Well it might have been your first and seems like only fic on here but bloody hell it's good! Loved the last lines of Chapter 24 from Anya....hilarious Moonlight 03/04/2011 12:36 am The Long Road to Happiness A pleasure to read you!magnific black,angst,sweet...story.thanks a lot for sharing...i loved so much watch spike so charming and patient...As in the end of 5th season! Thanks. :- 06/21/2010 04:41 pm The Long Road to Happiness That was a wonderful story and i loved every chapter of it!!! Such a mix of sadness, cuteness, angstyness, loveness - okay, enough w/ the nesses- but truly, i loved the way you made the fic progress through flashbacks and how you included spike's history into the story. It was amazing how realistic you made it be. Can't wait to see your other work. ~Liz Truly inspired! You had me tearin' up and giggling. Wonderful piece. lovely story deary DeanSamWinchesterfan 04/07/2006 10:15 pm The Long Road to Happiness Good chapter.I decided to read this story after I saw the good reviews.I have to read the other chapters,but this chapter was really good.(I like to read the last chapter fast.If the ending is too crappy or sad,I refuse to read the rest of the story.I'll probably go back and read the rest of the story tomorrow because I won't be home tonight.) Do you watch Supernatural?It's my favorite show right now.(Next to "Bones","Lost",and "How I Met Your Mother".I love David in "Bones" and I'm a Bones/Booth shipper.I also love Alyson in "HIMYM" and I'm a Lily/Marshall shipper.I used to watch Gilmore Girls,but the spoilers have deflected me from watching now.)Start a new story soon! Thank you for taking a chance and starting the fic! I don't blame you for starting with the end of the story - I do that, too, sometimes to ensure that things will work out alright and seem interesting. I've watched a few episodes of Supernatural and like it. I've seen one or two episodes of "Bones" that I've enjoyed, but I have yet to watch "How I Met Your Mother". I'm a huge "Gilmore Girls" fan (even though the spoilers have made me want to stop for this season). I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic! :) vladt 04/07/2006 08:19 pm The Long Road to Happiness sweet ending to a very enjoyable tale. thank you for the fine read. Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story so much! sirc 04/07/2006 06:58 pm The Long Road to Happiness Loved this :D Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it! What a nice ending with lots of WAFF which were a nice counterbalance to the dreadful angst earlier. Thank you for the story. Thank you! I think the story really needed to have some fluffy romance towards the end to cancel out all of the angst and drama of the first 3/4. I'm glad you liked the story! Awwww happy Spuffyness Thank you! I think the story needed to be ended on a good note :) SpaceLord 04/07/2006 03:24 am The Long Road to Happiness Well a nice happy end and all but still a bit sad about Dawn. Always sort of liked her and what she brought to the show. She could be very annoying but she could also be very nice and be a real good friend to Spike when no one else would be. Thank you! I know Dawn's death bothered a lot of people, but it drove the plot a little. I hope you enjoyed the fic nonetheless! ahhh come on I want to read bout the orgy! sirc 04/05/2006 01:25 pm Seeking Male Approval Anya can be so predictable sometimes :) Great chapter LOL That she can be :) SpaceLord 04/05/2006 11:49 am Seeking Male Approval Anya sure knows how to get to the heart of the matter ;) And she's always good for some comedic banter :) LMAO at Anya! I love the orgasms and money. Even though she is so predictable, she still manages to rile up everyone and get them into a dither. That she does:) I'm happy you enjoyed her role in the chapter! lol...you had me for real laughing out loud at the end...great update....perfectly written anya...and giles and xander's reactions were very in character, and surprisingly good...love this story and really hoping we're not as close to the end as it feels :) great update! I'm so happy you enjoyed everyone in the chapter! :) We're VERY close to the end, so you'll have to wait and see what happens. ORGY ORGY ORGY!!! LOL It's a good option, isn't it? :) I am glad willow seems to be resonable! rayan 04/04/2006 05:13 pm Blessings from the Peanut Gallery yay willow..with the support and well the threats .....always fun!!...hehe anyway good chappie Thank you! Sometimes it's nice to throw Willow into a chapter to add perspective. I'm happy you liked it! sirc 04/03/2006 03:41 pm Blessings from the Peanut Gallery great chapter Thank you! or we can kill xander and giles if they don't cooperate, muahahaha LOL That's also an option :) great update...i love how you write willow...i hope that xander and giles dont wreck things for them...loved joyce's reaction too...hilariously awesome!!! :) Thank you! I enjoy writing Willow sometimes - she's fun to work with. You'll have to wait and see how Giles and Xander react. It's good that Red approves of Bleach Boy and the Slayer. Now, can somebody prevent the Whelp from making Buffy miserable or staking Spike? More story please. Your review made me laugh - thank you for that! :) You'll have to wait and see how the whelp reacts to the news. Sigh.. thoughts of spike naked fill my mind! sirc 04/02/2006 08:46 am Driven By Desire great chapter Thank you! SpaceLord 04/01/2006 09:58 am Driven By Desire Oh now the smut begins. This should be good :) The smut needed to kick in - the story was begging for it :) I think Buffy had more fun than the people she left at the club. Oh, it's entirely possible :) good chapter. that is one way to handle grief. thanks for the fine read. Thank you! It definitely is a way to handle grief LOL very very sexy chapter...love it...very sweet and hot interaction between these two... can't shake the niggling feeling though that she's gonna regret later the way she's distancing herself from her friends ... great great update Thank you! I think the story was calling for some sex :) You'll have to wait and see how things turn out between Buffy and her friends. Good for Buffy and Spike - they deserve some happiness rayan 03/30/2006 11:55 pm The Feeling Is Mutual heheh lovely...he didnt see that one coming No, he definitely didn't :) That was a very productive patrol. More story please. It's probably the best patrol Buffy's ever had LOL I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! awww....love this story...love how buffy is awkward and unsure, but as honest as she can be about her feelings for him....her reaction was perfectly in character, very well done :) can't wait for more I'm glad Buffy's reaction was in character - I really tried to capture it as perfectly as possible. I'm happy you liked the chapter! vladt 03/30/2006 07:14 am The Feeling Is Mutual leaving spike speechless is a true talent. fun read, thanks It definitely is a talent! I'm happy you enjoyed it! OHHHHHHH!!! that was sooo cute!!! Thank you! I'm happy you liked it! Hmmmm does xander really need his kneecaps? Joyce 03/30/2006 03:42 am Staging an Intervention What a load of ingrates! Good chapter. Thank you! They generally weren't nice in this chapter, but everyone will get better soon, I swear. Gross intervention. The Scoobies always know how Buffy should be feeling and acting in order to make them feel good and righteous. She's lucky if Spike stays with her. More story please. I definitely agree - the Scoobies can be like that sometimes. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! Can we kill Xander next? I think that's the consensus, but you'll have to wait and see if he gets better or not. good update. shame you did not kill xander,it would have simplified the chapter. actual any time someone kills xander, it improves the tale. ok, i'm a little bias. good read, thanks LOL I think everyone's mad at Xander, but he'll get better, I promise. I'm happy you liked the chapter! awww...great chapter!! i love your willow, she's awesome...hate xander though..is it just me or is he gonna cause a lot of trouble??? the intervention was good, very great dialogue,well-written and true to character!! thanx for another great update!! :) Thank you! I'm quite fond of Willow, and I think everyone hates Xander at this point, but he'll get better, I promise. I'm glad you liked the chapter! bet giles would have a fit about the burning of the jounrals. rayan 03/29/2006 02:44 am Let It Burn good chapter...i think i understand your need to write it....or maybe im just nuts...any hooow still good Thank you! I think there needed to be some sweetness in the fic - there's been enough drama for the moment. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! SpaceLord 03/28/2006 10:30 am Let It Burn Hmm I'm sort of waiting for the real deep loss of Buffy to hit her, I mean she lost a sister just a few days/weeks ago. I would think it would be more devastating. It'll be hitting her soon. Very soon. Maybe they could have sold Angelus' journals to the Wankers' Council for money. Still sorry for Tessa. I'm happy there's still sorrow in regards to Tessa - she was never intended to be loathed throughout the entire fic. The Council would've loved the journals, but I think Spike was looking out for himself, too - imagine what kind of info Giles would've found out about him. vladt 03/28/2006 06:21 am Let It Burn very touching chapter ending. very good story. thanks Thank you! I think it was time for there to be a bit more romance in the fic. too bad angel couldn't be there to be thrown in too.... *sigh* lol... or maybe riley comes along and trips LOL Riley appearing out of nowhere and becoming a burn victim would be nice, wouldn't it? very good update...love the burning of angel's journals...poor spike...and buffy too, she lost her sister...you write their emotions very realistically, and i like how you haven't really rushed their relationship, the slow development and all...love this story lots and hope it goes on for a while :) Thank you! I'm glad their emotions seem fitting - they can be hard to capture sometimes. Also, I've been trying to maintain a slow, progressing Spuffy relationship, although it'll get more intense very soon. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! poor tessa I feel sorry for her - it was a fitting conclusion for her end though I'm happy to see Angelus, Drusilla and Darla out of the picture. However, why is Spike going to LA? Looking forward to more. You'll find out why he's going to L.A. in the next chapter - it's nothing permanent, that's for sure. vladt 03/24/2006 05:36 am Time to Think thank you for the evil, short chapter. good read. enjoy the weekend. Thank you! Sometimes it's nice to have short, cliffhanger chapters LOL I hope you had a good weekend, too! NO SPIKE!!! Don't worry - he'll come back... he always does :) 03/24/2006 04:31 am Time to Think ye i totally missed the part where tessa killed herself. |I read it a couple times too. Poor Spike I hope he doesn't stay gone too long It's at the end of chapter 17 - I kept it brief, more for the element of surprise. He won't be gone long, I promise. very good chapter though, even if it was short....hope he's not trying to leave for good, b/c of stupid giles and xander....glad buffy said the things she said to him and hope he got it :) loving this story Thank you! He's not leaving for good - when has he ever stayed away? ;) I'm happy you're still liking the fic! darla and angel are dead - wow - wonder how this effects the LA crew... (yes I wonder weird things) vladt 03/22/2006 07:59 pm Justice Has Been Served love angel dust, mixed emotions about tessa. love the update. thanks Thank you! I don't think anyone was expecting Tessa to stake herself, but in a way, I think it had to be done. I'm glad you liked the chapter! SpaceLord 03/22/2006 08:48 am Justice Has Been Served Well that was a sad chapter, the villan in this story was really well done and someone you could understand and symphatize with. Thank you! I really wanted to craft an original character/villain that people would both loathe and sympathize with. I'm happy Tessa was believable! nats 03/22/2006 07:57 am Justice Has Been Served good chap. tho somehow i doubt buffy is finished withe tessa. Although Tessa's out of the picture now, she's not out of everyone's minds. I'm glad you liked the chapter! Just when she was getting less annoying!! EEK! She was getting better, but her death will be explained, I promise. whoa. that was powerful...and so so sad...i felt bad for pretty much everyone in that situation, even though angel and darla really deserved it...very great story, and i hope its not over??? It definitely was a tough chapter, and I agree that I feel bad for a lot of the people involved in the situation, even the people who had it coming. The fic definitely isn't over - there's still a few more chapters to come, I swear. I hope you continue to like the story! very intriguing story! wow...intense....love darla in this "you have a nice neck" ... ROFL....you write the humor very well...off to the next chappie :) Thank you! Sometimes it's nice to add a little humor to an otherwise serious chapter :) Evil cliffie! I do hope Tessa gets to talk before Buffy stakes her. I think Angelus and Darla must have made her as nuts as Drusilla since she's so interested in hurting Spike. More story please. Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I felt it would be good to end on one. Tessa will reveal the truth to everyone - no worries. And yes, Dru, Darla, and Angelus didn't keep her sane by any means. vladt 03/21/2006 08:11 pm Prepare For the Worst can't let buffy stake tessa immediately. must have the truth come out and angel bash. that is personal bias. what ever you do iam sure to enjoy the read. thanks for the update. Buffy won't stake Tessa immediately... or possibly at all - you'll have to wait and see who survives the fight and who doesn't. nats 03/21/2006 07:20 pm Prepare For the Worst Aww why'd ya stop. Can't wait for the fight. Can i just place a vote for darla and angel dyin/gettin staked and somehow leavin both spike n tessa alive. Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I felt compelled to end on one. You'll have to wait and see who survives and who doesn't in the next chapter :) *bounces around waiting for the fight* c'mon c'mon c'mon The fight is definitely on its way! can't wait to see what happens next rayan 03/21/2006 01:12 am A Few Hours Alone i like this story...i feel sorry for tessa and for dawn...im hoping tessa will find out the truth before its too late...anyway good chappie keep it up Thank you! Tessa will definitely hear the truth before it's too late - no worries. I'm happy you're enjoying the story! awww..that was really sweet...loved the playful banter between them, love the developing relationship....but i have a feeling tessa's going to do something just awful soon :( great chapter :) Thank you! We needed some sweet and lighthearted Spuffyness to break up the angst and drama. You'll have to wait and see what Tessa has in store next! Aww, sweet chapter. Thank you! I think the fic needed some sweetness to break up the drama and angst. very warm and tone changing chapter. really enjoy this fic. thanks for the fine read. I figured it was time for some Spuffyness, even if it wasn't anything hardcore (that'll come later). I'm glad you're still enjoying the fic! Awww, they're so sweet together! I figured it was time to have some Spuffyness in the fic, even if it was minor. I'm happy you liked it! tessa is such a contradiction - and how dare angel and darla not tell the full truth - growls - can't wait to see who all dies! Hmmm. Once again, Angelus is lying his eyes out in order to avoid any responsibility whatsoever for Tessa and her madness. Maybe Joyce will help clear up some issues. More story please. Joyce will definitely fill in a few blanks for everyone, but not all of them, especially the more important ones. Angel will admit the truth soon, and you'll have to wait and see what happens after that. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! SpaceLord 03/19/2006 08:14 am Family Reunions Hmm so Angel is lying with his shiny soul. I think that he would fess up seeing as he distanses himself from what Angelus did. I think Angel would fess up if he knew that he wouldn't be staked for admitting what Angelus did. I don't think he's too sure of how Buffy would react, but she'll find out very soon. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! vladt 03/19/2006 06:34 am Family Reunions very good chapter. even with the death of dawn, you present tessa so sympathetically, that is extremely difficult to seek her destruction. it is so much easier(and right) to scream for angel dust. very good read. thanks Thank you! I'm glad that it's hard not to be sympathetic towards Tessa in the fic - that was my goal. On the other hand, though, I think it's hard to be understanding, too, when it comes to her. Either way, you'll have to wait and see who gets dusted in the upcoming chapters. the ending of this chapter is sweet...so glad she let joyce go...i like the way you write darla....perfectly in character...can't wait for the next update!! :) Thank you! We needed a bit of sweetness in the fic to break up all of the drama. I'm glad I'm writing Darla okay - I think she can be tricky. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! Even with souls they're both complete wankers.... please tell me there's dustage in the future of Angel and Darla? please please please Yes, they really are, but the truth will come out very soon. You'll have to wait and see what happens to Darla and Angel, but I'll give you a hint - things won't end well for them. I feel sorry for Tessa, but she still needs to die - growls at her - at least she is being nice to joyce I can't help but pity Tessa.  In her own way, she is just as twisted and mad as Drusilla.  Hope Joyce doesn't get killed. I know what you mean - it's hard not to pity Tessa sometimes, and she's definitely as insane as Dru. Don't worry - Joyce will be perfectly fine. SpaceLord 03/17/2006 08:12 am Itty Bitty Puzzle Pieces Well now the hunt is on. Yes, it definitely is. The battle is coming up very soon. Has Tessa let Joyce go home yet? Spike better be careful whenever he finds Tessa. Did he feel Drusilla die? More story please. Tessa hasn't let Joyce leave yet, but she'll return home soon. I'll explain more about if Spike felt Dru die or not soon, and yes, he definitely needs to be careful when he finds her. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! Gawd Tessa is mental.... Yeah, she really is:( oh good!!! he knows she's there now!! that's great!! cant wait to see what happens next!! Thank you! Spike definitely knows now that she's in town, which means the battle is ahead soon. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! vladt 03/17/2006 04:20 am Itty Bitty Puzzle Pieces at least spike knows who, if not why. joyce can tell him why. very good read. thanks Thank you! Spike knows who, but he doesn't know the exact details of why yet. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! stupid scoobie - growls - very interesting story! vladt 03/16/2006 12:17 am In Her Hands good update. no, actually any up date with xander being hit by spike has to be considered better than good. thanks for the read. Thank you! I felt compelled to have Spike punch Xander because he was being a bit awful. I'm happy you enjoyed it! Weaver 03/15/2006 01:42 pm In Her Hands Nice plot but I think Joyce would be a bit more upset by her daughter's death. She seemed too calm. Also, Giles has done a bit of a 180. First he trusts Spike then he doesn't. Not really enough justification for this character development. Just a few thoughts. I don't disagree that Joyce would be more upset about her daughter's death, but I think she'd be just as afraid for her life. Giles changing his mind a lot about Spike was undoubtedly influenced by Xander. Also, I would think that after one kidnapping, he wouldn't be so worried that Spike did it because things didn't match up, but after two kidnappings, no one can be too sure, even a grown man like Giles. SpaceLord 03/15/2006 08:20 am In Her Hands Well I guess that Dawns blood falls squarly on the hands of Angelus really. Hmm Tessa also seems to remind me a bit about Kirsten Dunst character in "interview with a vampire". Yes, I'd agree that Dawn's blood does fall on Angelus' hands - great way of putting it. Tessa is a bit like Claudia in "Interview With a Vampire", although I think she's a bit more evil. Hmmm. I presume that Joyce is bait. Buffy's friends are still fun though. Joyce is definitely bait and won't get hurt - I think everyone likes her too much to want to see her be harmed. Who knows if anyone else will be taken away, though. ugh, totally hate the scoobies like usual... loved xander getting a broken nose tho he deserves more... Yes, he definitely deserves more - he was being awful. Things will get better amongst everyone soon, though, I promise. good for spike!! glad he socked xander in the nose, he deserved it! glad tessa's not gonna hurt joyce...i hope not anyway...and glad that buffy's sticking up for spike instead of taking her friends' side against him...could tessa maybe target some of them next?? lol ... like xander or giles?? guess that wouldn't hurt spike much, would it?? lol GREAT update!!! It was definitely a good thing for Spike to hit Xander - he deserved it. Tessa won't hurt Joyce - don't worry. You'll have to wait and see if Tessa turns her attention to either Giles or Xander in the future. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! noooo... not poor Joyce! I feel so sorry for Buffy what a nightmare! SpaceLord 03/14/2006 09:46 am Reasons To Be Concerned So are you going to kill off Joyce too now? I can't believe that Spike would not question Angelus and Darla about Tessa after he wisened up to their ways. No, Joyce will be fine - I always liked Joyce and don't want to see anything terribly bad happen to her. Spike will eventually find out what was going and what happened with Tessa, but that won't be for a chapter or two. Speaking of Angel and Darla, they'll be appearing soon, too. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! Go back, Spike, go back! He'll find out soon enough what happened, don't worry. On the same note, Spike will soon piece together what's been going on. oh no...i hope she doesn't kill joyce!!! and i wonder what happened to tessa when she went to find william...i'm on the edge of my seat here...more please!!! She won't kill Joyce, don't worry. You'll have to wait and see what happened when Tessa went to find William - that will be mentioned soon. I hope you continue to like the story!

So far I hate the Scoobies , cept Giles - evil stupid people! SpaceLord 03/13/2006 08:08 am Trust Has To Be Earned Hmm Tessa should really be getting her revenge on Angelus too I think. She will be very soon - Angel will be making an appearance in the story. It will be explained why she's going after William now and the reasons for it in a few chapters. the JERKS! *flails* They really are awful, aren't they? They'll get what's coming, though, I promise! vladt 03/13/2006 04:44 am Trust Has To Be Earned love the update. is there any chance of there being severe pain and unimagineable suffering being inflicted upon angel? not the so called guilt the soul was suppose to cause. nevermind, love your story and will continue to love, no matter where you go with it. thanks for the read. You'll have to wait and see what happens to Angel, although I can promise you that he will get what he deserves. He'll feel guilty about the situation, but I agree that it isn't enough. I hope you'll stick with the fic! OK, I see why she's mad at Spike. Still, she should be able to figure out after being around for so long that Angelus and Darla are both uber shitheads. Now, Buffy and Spike have to worry about an "intervention." What's up with Anya acting so stupid? Angelus and Darla definitely are awful vampires, and they'll be appearing very soon in the story, along with an explanation from Tessa as to why she's (finally) on a mission to hurt Spike and other people. Don't worry - there won't be much in the way of an intervention for a while. As for Anya, I attribute her acting the way she did to the fact that she didn't really grasp the concept of death at that point (as seen in "The Body") and her being her usual self at points. I love Anya, though, and won't make her act so oddly throughout more of the story. I hope you continue to like the fic! how sad for the poor little girl!! but i'm really scared about how she plans to make things "interesting" again...love the developing relationship between buffy and spike...so sweet...love this story :) Things will get dark again very soon, although not as bad as what happened to Dawn. I'm glad you're still enjoying the fic! poor tess, evil tess... lol i feel so confused... I hate her and feel sorry for her... guess we will have to dust her out of compassion... yep that is it vladt 03/13/2006 04:26 am Secrets and Lies i am enjoying this fic immensely. i do have a small problem: how can spike miss the presense of a master vampire close enough to hear his conversation. thanks for the read. Thank you! The way I figure it, no one knows how far a vampire can sense another one, so I've been going with that. Also, in "Surprise", Spike and Dru don't notice that both Angel and Buffy were watching them from above - the Judge pointed it out first. I guess it depends on proximity and how much attention a vampire is paying to their surroundings. He'll be catching on soon, though, that someone's watching him. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! OMG! That seems like Drusilla did know and was probably jealous. More story please. Drusilla definitely did know and wanted Tessa to leave, undoubtedly disliking William paying attention more to Tessa than her. I hope you continue to like the fic! ugh, totally hate Dru.... I think we all do - she's awful. I hope you're enjoying the fic! yeah...i bet...oh i have a feeling whatever they did to tessa is going to be just horrible *cringing*...well buffy took that news badly but not as badly as i expected...great update, great characterization...love this story!! Thank you! What they did to Tessa definitely wasn't good, but that won't be discussed for a bit. I'm happy you're enjoying the story so much! poor buffy and spike - I wonder how they will react when they find out why and what happened wow...i think he's making a mistake by misleading her...when she finds out later it's only gonna look worse...but i like the way she's softening to him for the time being...and this chapter feels like a bit of calm before a major storm...great update as usual...can't wait for the next!! wow...i think he's making a mistake by misleading her...when she finds out later it's only gonna look worse...but i like the way she's softening to him for the time being...and this chapter feels like a bit of calm before a major storm...great update as usual...can't wait for the next!! wow...i think he's making a mistake by misleading her...when she finds out later it's only gonna look worse...but i like the way she's softening to him for the time being...and this chapter feels like a bit of calm before a major storm...great update as usual...can't wait for the next!! Thank you! This chapter was a bit of calmness before a storm, although the storm won't really kick in for a couple of chapters. Buffy will find out soon about Harmony, and you'll have to see how she will react. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! vladt 03/10/2006 04:24 am Anything to Help joyce almost always knew what she was doing. good update. enjoying the read. thanks. You're very right - Joyce usually made the best decisions. I hope you continue to like the fic! Ooo I hope she lets him in ^.^ You'll have to wait and see what happens :) Poor Tessa - I keep going from hating her to feeling sorry for her - but she does deserve to die ... Ewww... Sickos!  You are doing a wonderful job of making the rest of Spike's family truly hateable!  Will be back to see what happens next! Thank you! The other three are awful vampires, and it's been interesting to see how twisted I can make them. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! SpaceLord 03/09/2006 12:53 pm Disharmony Hmm I would have hoped for a bit of torture of Harmony. I don't think that Spike would settle for just dusting her, I'm thinking that there would be hours upon hours of pain before she dusted. Spike still has to go check in on Buffy before the sun rises, although torturing Harmony wouldn't have been bad to see. But why prolong the inevitable? She had it coming, and now it's time for more angst and even some sweetness. GRRRR ARGH!! Will Spike ever figure out this puzzle? He should find Angelus, tie him up and give him to Tessa. Why does Tessa think everything is Spike's fault? Spike will figure things out sooner rather than later, I promise. You'll have to wait and see what becomes of Angel, too. Spike let Tessa be hurt and taken away, along with the fact he was the one who sired her, so she has a lot of residual anger. Don't worry, though- everyone else will get what's coming to them, too. What the HELL??!! Is that a good response or a bad response? What the HELL??!! What the HELL??!! vladt 03/09/2006 04:28 am Disharmony angelus does all the harm and spike gets the hatred? tessa could be a scoobie the way her mind works. very good read. enjoying the story. thanks You're very right about Tessa being very similar to the Scoobies in the way she thinks. Angelus is hated, too, but that portion of the story won't be coming for a bit. I hope you continue to like the story! omg!!! how awful, they're taking her away somewhere? um, no wonder the girl's bitter...i'm scared for spike...i wonder how Buffy's gonna take this...not well, obviously...i hope she believes him that he didn't do it...and he just killed the only one who could have given him a lead on what he's dealing with...*sigh*...this story still fascinates me, can't wait for the next update!! Yes, Angelus and Darla are taking her away, and William has no idea. You'll have to wait and see how Buffy reacts and how she'll treat Spike. Like you said, Spike dusted the only person/creature who could help him a little to figure out what's going on, which was a bad call. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! I hope Harmony and Tessa die a horrible and painful death. How could they? Ooh, Harmony is gonna get it... And she isn't even the one that killed her!  Nice twist! Thank you! I think Harmony deserves to be blamed, don't you? I hope you continue to like the fic! vladt 03/07/2006 06:40 am Getting Rid of Excess tessa is real skillful, harmony is getting blamed. very good read. thanks. Thank you! It's imperative to have Harmony be blamed. You'll find out why very soon :) I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! Yuck! Will Harmony rat out Tess when Spike catches up to her? Will Buffy believe Spike didn't do it? More story please. You will have to wait and see to find out the answers to your questions. I hope you continue to like the story! *stands with a bat, wanting to beat up the four nincompoops* tell me angel dies painfully, pleeeaaaase You will have to wait and see what becomes of Angelus/Angel - no hints from me. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! oh, ho, ho...tricky little Tessa! She is indeed an evil vampire. I hope you enjoy the fic! i don't know why you're not getting like 20 reviews a chapter...this story is incredible...i am beyond hooked... i am still in a state of shock over dawn...my God... i can't believe she's dead!! and poor Spike, finding her like that!! i'm just horrified and mesmerized by the whole thing, and can't wait to read more!! Thank you! Reviews are just icing on the cake - I truly enjoy writing this story. I'm happy you're enjoying the story, and I promise that things will get better for everyone down the road! oh no they killed Dawn - how horrible *looks upset* Oh how could you kill off Dawnie! I do not foresee a happy ending at this stage with this event. Wondering where you will go from here? There's definitely going to be a happy ending - there's a lot of evolution ahead in the fic to get it there. You'll have to read on to see what else happens :) nats 03/19/2006 05:22 pm Even Good Girls Get Punished just read all the chaps of this story. it's sad that dawn died but i can't wait to see what happens when tessa and spike see each other. I like tessas character horrible what happened to her at the hands of dru angel and darla. Would send you nuts to find that out. Hope you continue soon. Thank you for taking a chance and reading the story so far! You'll have to wait and see what happens when Tessa and Spike are reunited, and I agree that Tessa's past definitely wasn't a good one. I hope you continue to enjoy the fic! SpaceLord 03/09/2006 12:36 pm Even Good Girls Get Punished And she wonders why no one takes her seriously, I mean if some minions did that while Angelus or Spike were running things they would not live long. Maybe a bit of torture first but definatly no more walking around for those that didn't follow orders I would say :) You're very right - no more being Miss Nice Vamp with her minions LOL oh no!! they killed her?? Poor Dawnie!!! oh wow this is awful!! spike and buffy and joyce are all gonna be devastated!! wow this story is so sad!!! but very well-written..can't wait for the next update!! Thank you! Yes, Dawn was killed, and now it is time for Joyce, Buffy, and Spike to find out about it and deal with it as best they can. I hope you continue to enjoy the story! Okay, never liked Dawn but that's said and is Buffy going to go all Catatonic Barbie again? I haven't ever really liked Dawn, either, so she was my top choice to have die in the story. Buffy isn't going to go catatonic, per se, but she won't react well at all to the news. You can be sure, though, that Spike will be at her side to help and comfort her. Poor Dawn. Great update though. Can't wait for more. Thank you! I hope you will continue to read the story despite Dawn's death. poor tessa - one day as a vamp and already used and abused! YUCK! Angelus was one sick bastard. I guess Spike is still too young as a fledge to figure out the torture of Tessa until it's way too late. More story please. Yes, Angelus is incredibly horrible. William wasn't on the ball enough to figure out maybe something was off, but you'll have to wait and see if he will ever know or not. I'm happy you're liking the fic! Poor child! No wonder she is angry at Spike, but then again, he didn't know. Can't wait to see what happens next! Yes, Tessa has good reason to be angry with William/Spike - he should've stayed with her. I hope you continue to like the story! oh my God!! poor little girl!! spike should have known better than to leave her alone with them!! the dialogue in this chapter is perfect, you have everybody's voices down pat...still loving this story and can't wait for an update! :) You're very right - William shouldn't have left her alone with Dru and Angelus. I'm happy the dialogue is fitting for the characters, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story! gawd, please promise there will somehow be a stake-y ending for the poofter You'll have to wait and see what happens with good old Angel/Angelus - no hints from me:) Oh tessa took dawn - I can;t wait to see how this plays into her plans. Good story so far! You don't know who Belle Morte is? How far have you gotten in the books? And I think the child vampire I was referring to was in this last book or second to last (not counting Micah, I guess... just came out and I haven't read it) I've only read "Guilty Pleasures", actually - it was assigned last semester in a class about vampires in literature. I'd like to read more of Hamilton's novels - she's very interesting. I'm intrigued to find out about this other vampire now! oh my gosh!! poor dawnie!! i'm scared to know what tessa is up to...i knew it, evil angelus messed things up big time...i don't know, there may be potential for tessa to end up finding some sort of redemption? i feel sorry for her if she fell into angelus' hands!! awesome update, can't wait for the next! Angelus definitely did some things he shouldn't have, which will be revealed more throughout the next few chapters. There is potential for Tessa to find redemption, although if it happens, it won't be for a while. I'm happy you're enjoying the story so far! pfft, kill dawn, no one'll miss her, lol LOL You and I have a similar opinion on Dawn:) You'll have to wait and see what happens! vladt 03/04/2006 06:53 am When Youth Attacks good update. tessa definitely more than expected. thanks for the enjoyment. Thank you! Tessa has been in the story a lot so far (and will be for a little bit more), but soon, there will be a lot more Spike/Buffy stuff after Riley is written off. ARGH!! Tessa must have been hurt by Angelus and Darla. Will Dawn become a vampire? More story please. No, Dawn will not become a vampire, but you will have to wait and see what is ahead for her. Tessa was hurt by Angelus and Darla, and that will all be revealed very soon. I'm happy you're enjoying the fic! Intruiging - I wonder what the vampiress is planning on doing to Spike. vladt 03/04/2006 06:45 am Budding Alliances spike definitely has aproblem. tessa could be formidable, but harmony is helping. that is in spike's favor. fun read. like tessa. thanks Thank you! Tessa has been fun to develop and work with, and you're right that Harmony helping Tessa is in Spike's favor. I hope you continue to like the story! and wasn't there a girl who came later... the one that belle morte sent... okay i'll stop now Belle Morte? I'm not familiar with that name. Do tell! :) Oh yeah, I forgot about Nikolaos She was definitely one of the weirdest characters I have ever read - I was expecting her to be more innocent, but she was evil. ooohh...things are picking up..i still feel kind of sorry for harmony...the back story of tessa was beautifully written and fascinating...he did it to save her but he had no idea at the time about darla and angelus...if they got their hands on her, no wonder she hates him so much!!! this is not looking good...but i can't wait for more!!! Thank you! The story is finally starting to pick up and will only get darker from here. You will have to wait and see why Tessa is so angry with William/Spike, but you're right in that it involves Angelus. I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far! Uh oh, it looks like Tessa is out for blood! And she has dingy Harmony along for the ride, at least we know that with Harmony in the mix that the plan definitely won't work! She always bungled everything up! Please update soon! Tessa definitely has a vendetta against Spike, mainly for reasons that will be brought to attention in the next chapters. Harmony won't be much of an asset to Tessa - you're right about that. I hope you enjoy the story! OMG it's CLAUDIA! *screams and runs* lol LOL She is similar to Claudia, isn't she? She's also akin to a character from "Guilty Pleasures" by Laurell K. Hamilton, although Tessa is a bit more scary and dealt with worse treatment as a vampire. I didn't even think about the Claudia aspect until you mentioned it. I hope you're enjoying the story! interesting start to the story! neo_trinityknot 03/01/2006 06:43 pm Surrounded By Blondes An interesting start, cant wait to read more of it. Thank you! I'm happy you liked the first chapter! Poor Spike! Why do all the women in his life plot against him at one time or another? I can't wait to see where you are going to take this! Thank you! Spike hasn't had much luck with women, but maybe things will turn out well in the fic... or maybe they won't. I'm happy you like it so far! Eeep, well... it seems an interesting start Thank you! I'm happy you liked the beginning! i'm scared...this chick sounds scary...poor spike...and harmony will do whatever this girl tells her...very intriguing, can't wait for next chapter :) Tessa is a vengeful spirit - there's no denying that. You're very right about Harmony, also. I hope you continue to like the story! vladt 03/01/2006 04:48 am Surrounded By Blondes evil, but excellent opening. but much too short. loved it. thanks Sorry for the shortness of chapter 1 - chapters from now on won't be nearly as brief. I'm happy you liked the beginning! Interesting start. I look forward to finding out more about Tessa. Thank you for leaving my first review! I hope you like the rest of the story! | |||
