What a great Spuffy series - great reading this again.  Wonderful treatment on all of the characters.  

 

Amazing to see the sides of Buffy and Spike that you brought forth.  I very much enjoyed your hard work and the emotions brought out by their stubbornness and their love.  Powerful feelings between those two and having her sing for Lorne was sooooooooo very over the top touch my heart and make me cry beautiful, little writer!!  I was sorry that they fell to hitting again.  Buffy definitely needed to beg forgiveness on that one.  Good work my dear and thank you for it.  I like the relationship they have.  I particularly liked the reference to the other story--I find Spike to be awesomely appealing when he is in Alpha mode with the "you will not ..."   "You will do (thus and such) as I say!"  He is so potent when he is being his "yes you think I'm sexy..." riff.  A little John Wayne in my monster, yeah, that's it, pilgrim.
Loved the attendant characters--sorry Miles got killed, really expected Melissa to be one of the evils.  The little boy character was precious.  Thanks again.

I LOVED IT!

i love your portrayal of angel in this fic...i forgot to mention it on the last chapter, but the way he rented that movie and was such a friend to her and all...very good :) excellent ending to a great tale :)

Loved this story both parts! Loved how you ended it with Angel accepting their relationship.

wow - i'm in awe of this story and the prequel chelle. you have matured in your writing so much over the years. this story is simply beautiful. these 2 fics are some of the very best post-chosen ones i have read. this story touched me deeply and i want to thank you for writing it. more than that, i cannot say because you have rendered me practically speechless. awe inspiring what you did with these 2 stories. thank you for sharing them with us.

This story was so very well done. I loved the progression of Buffy and Spike's relationship. Both of them coming to terms with the needs or fears of the other, and her finally allowing him in in every way, shape, and form. And I loved how he gave her luggage away as a precautionary measure.

I cried a lot while reading this story and the weight of love, and when I say a lot, it's actually all the way through. Thank you;)

I'm glad you did a sequel.I thought Spike was stupid for leaving Buffy.

excellent interaction between them...very very good resolution to that situation :)

I love Lorne he is so great. This chapter was wonderful, with Buffy finally realizing that the Slayer side doesn't always have to be alone, and coming to terms with Spike wanting to protect her, even though she can usually take care of herself.

I was thinking about and as much as I love this story and the story before it,can you do a sequel?I have a premise:Buffy,
Spike,and Angel are sent back in time to season six where she reveals to the past gang that she's an alcoholic when they offer her a drink.They also try to change things.

i knew he was not gonna take that well..but somehow i'm not as scared with him leaving as i was with her...because spike always comes back :) lol...awesome chpter :)

He left her, I can't believe he left her. First not listening to her then leaving her. They are both so much alike. Great chapter with nice action.

oh buffy don't go to the beach!!! oh this could be bad..stupid girl!!! she's gonna get herself in trouble, not to mention cause another raging fight...right?

Why didn't Spike listen to her. Another great chapter.

so very sexy and hot and reassuring....like they're going to be okay...another awesome chapter :)

This chapter was great, I loved how she told Angel off when giving him a lock of her hair.

wow..my heart is aching for them..this is not gonna be easy to fix...but i think he's right, love isn't always easy and they'll make it :) another excellent chapter :)

Jameson is cute. This was a really nice chapter.

Great chapter - 

wow..that was intense...very gripping and powerful...and so very sad...buffy made me furious when she hit him...oh wow, this is something so hard to come back from...can't wait to read more :)

The pain both of them are feeling, you do it well.

wow...you portray the emotions so well...all of them. i can understand angel's and spike's POV, but i can also see why buffy's so hurt and upset by it...very excellent chapter, reading more now ;)

It's funny even thought all they want to do is protect her, all they really are doing is making her feel rejected. You do a great job of making her feeling come to life.

ugh....the mental images you create are so vivid...very very disturbing...can't wait to find out what's gonna happen next

Um, yuck, at the blood and guts, but still a really good chapter.

you know he's totally right...i feel bad for buffy but she's only hurting herself :(

She can certainly be her own worst enemy. Thanks for another good chapter.

go buffy! i kind of agree with her, i'd think it'd be worse for them to think that she's too weak to handle it...mean old angel...yet i have to admit i partially can't blame him...poor buffy, at least she's feeling better now

How like Buffy to keep pushing herself until she is done with what she feels that she needs to do. Another very well writen chapter.

ROFLMAO at Buffy's last line, pure brilliance

that's so sad...you write it so realistically...the grieving process...but i'm worried about poor buffy's arm...it's really messed up, isn't it?

Spike is so good for her and to her. And it's so true, some things only get harder the more you do them. Another chapter well done.

wow...that was heart-breaking...very good chapter...spike's reactions were awesome...great chapter :)

The fear, the pain of everyone, you did a fantastic job of expressing it.

wow...you create a majorly powerful visual there...poor buffy..but at least she got revenge for her friend

What a way to deal with her pain. At least she finally cried. Great chapter.

go get him buffy...wow you wrote that incredibly well..the sexy stuff was wonderfully hot...and the emotional shock of the next morning was devastating as it should be ... excellent chapter :)

This chapter was so heartbreaking, Buffy loosing a friend and it done because she allowed him to do his job, instead of continuing trying to do it all herself. Her pain as well as her guilt was tangible.

you've captured buffy's personality perfectly...i know people like that..can't delegate to save their lives :P lol...excellent chapter :)

Great start. I love the rapport between her and Miles.

ohhh love the set up for this ficcie
