Bag of Bones by Shadowlass tamisnead 12/05/2017 09:40 pm Twenty-one I just finished reading this lovely story and I wanted to congratulate you on how well you translated the characters. They all seemed to be true to themselves and you never decended to bashing any of them, they were all complex and the story never seemed rushed yet it all worked out and everyone seemed to grow from the beginning. So, I really enjoyed reading it. Great reading this story again - I read it a long time ago. It's a great alternative to how Willow and all of them come back from the horrors they imposed to one another in the dark times of season 6. Pre review: I love this fic. I have been looking for it for ages but couldn’t remember the title. I am probably not going to review as I go, but I love this story. Thx. :-). A most unexpected ending. 07/05/2010 01:49 am Twenty-one sister cuervo 11/09/2007 02:25 pm Twenty-one An old favourite story, worth the re-reading. Love the character development, and everything else about it. Thanks for writing. Awww! I'm glad it was about the Scoobies, and not about Buffy and Spike. I mean, they're awesome, but nothing like the Scoobies. Great work! Robyn 09/16/2006 12:37 pm Twenty-one I love that Buffy pointed out to Willow her manipulating people was her real problem. The ending had me tearing up with Buffy going past her anger and reconnection with Willow. I loved Spike and Dawn at the end. Thanks so much for such an enjoyable story. ahhhh that was so sweet! I really enjoyed the conclusion - very lovely story! This fic was absolutly wonderful! fallen_angel 09/03/2006 08:57 pm Twenty-one This was a really nice fic. I'm glad I read it. Thank you Deb 08/31/2006 11:03 am Twenty-one I like the way that you provided resolution for the characters, just a bit bittersweet. Very much in the style of the show. You did a great job in making me think it was Dawn. I'm not certain that I fully understand Willow's reasoning for how cursing Spike brings Buffy and him together. Do like the way Buffy finally has her relationship with Spike and how it "could" have been done on the series. Well done. Araedhel 08/30/2006 09:14 pm Twenty-one LOved the story!!! Sequal Please!!!!! vladt 08/30/2006 06:57 am Twenty-one very good tale. very surprising ending. thanks for the fine read. THE END??!!! :-) 07/05/2010 01:32 am Twenty Robyn 09/16/2006 12:20 pm Twenty I love that Spike left Xander a note apologizing. Buffy’s trust in Spike is so refreshing and I loved his comment about how he wouldn’t give her up to bite people. ohhhh wonderful so far can't wait to read the rest Very interesting characters and glad spike got a punch in fallen_angel 08/24/2006 11:29 am Twenty You sure know how to keep me hooked. Gah, get to the explainy! :-) 07/05/2010 01:20 am Nineteen great chapter! WHooo hoooo I knew it hadn't been dawn! Now off to see if it is willow or not! Great chapter! Robyn 08/20/2006 04:50 pm Nineteen I’m glad that Spike found out that it wasn’t Dawn who gave him the dead cat. I really enjoyed the updates, thanks. vladt 08/15/2006 11:08 pm Nineteen wonderful read, thank you. starting to feel like a pi,g pong ball. vladt 08/15/2006 10:22 pm Nineteen wonderful read, thank you. starting to feel like a pi,g pong ball. fallen_angel 08/15/2006 05:54 pm Nineteen So it's willow? Heeeeeey, no with the confuse-y! clairedelune 08/15/2006 02:07 am Nineteen great chapter! oh no, I hope spike doesn't start to get evil again!?! you love tormented me - dawn or willow - dawn or willow - can is still bet on neither- lol i love my charcters - great chaper and story Robyn 08/20/2006 04:32 pm Eighteen I am glad that Spike finally told Buffy about the pain he is in. I looks like Xander is finally coming to terms with some of his actions and I loved his thoughts about Anya and Riley and this line, ‘It was time he trusted her with her heart’, concerning Buffy. fallen_angel 08/07/2006 06:58 pm Eighteen Ha! So Dawn did do it. What's with Willow? Ewwww, Dawn murdered a cat? Not that I like cats... but ewwwww And why is Buffy acting weird and not with Spike?? vladt 08/05/2006 12:39 am Eighteen very good read, thank you. see review for chap 11, i'm right back there. :-) 07/05/2010 12:55 am Seventeen oh no! I wonder if it is willow. Now i have to know! runs to next chapter! Robyn 08/01/2006 10:56 am Seventeen I loved Giles’ reaction to Spike’s story and getting interested in it in spite of himself. I’m glad that Dawn seems to be thawing out a bit towards Spike. Thanks for the update, I enjoyed it. vladt 07/28/2006 09:05 pm Seventeen evil. but a very good read, thank you What the hell??!! Is everyone going nuts??!! clairedelune 07/28/2006 05:37 am Seventeen Nice twists,...so the bad guy is Willow? or maybe Willow, Dawn and Anya are all in it together?!!! Evil, evil plot twists. :-) 07/05/2010 12:46 am Sixteen gah buffy is so stupid at times - i hope she realizes what she has before it is to late and she loses it! Robyn 07/19/2006 08:51 am Sixteen I loved Spike's speech to Buffy about the men she loves leaving her. It was perfect. Thanks for the lovely update. vladt 07/18/2006 06:47 am Sixteen very good read. thank you. in the contest for who is dumber than a box of rocks, who is winning, giles or buffy? thanks again for the great chapter tell her about the soul!! *waves arms* clairedelune 07/18/2006 03:36 am Sixteen I love this story!!!!!!.....Way to go obtuse Giles, and GAHHH Buffy when will she EVER learn?!!! Oh i adore this chapter! Each one makes me wonder more and more he did it - i cannot wait to see the resolution you have planned! Robyn 07/19/2006 08:37 am Fifteen I love how well you do Dawn's confusion and mixed-up emotions. vladt 07/12/2006 07:07 am Fifteen great read, thank you fallen_angel 07/11/2006 12:40 pm Fifteen I love Spuffy!Update soon. Who is it? Who is it?? clairedelune 07/11/2006 02:15 am Fifteen Great next chapter. The plot keeps twisting!!! Still trying to guess who is the bad guy? Dawn or Willow? Update soon...pleeease! Sweet. :-) 07/04/2010 07:59 pm Fourteen oh wow - i love it - bet giles never saw that one coming! Very good chapter! I love the suspense and not knowing! Robyn 06/28/2006 06:57 pm Fourteen I like that Giles realized that his leaving affected everyone and not just Buffy, and that he hadn't been there for them like he should all along. I loved Buffy and Spike's interaction and the sweetness of it. I am looking forward to the next chapter and Giles's reaction to Spike being with Buffy. oooo yay!!! yummy spike snuggles!! vladt 06/27/2006 08:00 am Fourteen the update was a gret read. the ending was superb. even when they are trying to do right, the egocentrism of giles and xander is unbelievable. :-) 07/04/2010 07:47 pm Thirteen ohhh i can't wait to find out what he thinks - does he suspect dawn. I love this - great story! Robyn 06/21/2006 01:36 pm Thirteen I really like how you had Giles finally figure out why he shouldn't have left Buffy. I also like how Anya explained Buffy to Xander, I just hope that someday he will actually understand. Thanks for the update. And now they can destroy Dawn, muahahahahahaha vladt 06/20/2006 04:02 am Thirteen very good update. thanks for the read. does spike know?- :-) 07/04/2010 07:33 pm Twelve oh no - i believe Willow is innocent - and I don't think dawn knows enoughtto pull it off - to prank him yes; but not to hurt him. So who could it be or perhaps i am wrong... great mystery going on! vladt 06/15/2006 05:47 am Twelve good chapter. love the surprising red-spike conversation. spike better start chanting or get some real help. thanks for the fun read. Robyn 06/14/2006 01:09 pm Twelve I feel so bad for Spike, wanting to reconnect with Dawn but not knowing how. Thanks for the update. :) Ewww, vampire puke... :-) 07/04/2010 07:23 pm Eleven she is caught! GREAT SCENE love anya in this - very lovely chapter! vladt 06/15/2006 05:31 am Eleven good chapter. anya was fun. you convinced me, against my insticts, that it was red. now, i am back to dawn, where i started. you are doing your job extremely well. thanks for he fun read. grate story, Hope to see an update soon. Robyn 06/08/2006 06:02 am Eleven I love Anya and I am enjoying her in this story, you are doing a really great job writing her. Dawn visiting Spike? I am really looking forward to the next update. Eat her! Eat her!! :-) 07/04/2010 07:07 pm Ten ohhhh is willow the guilty one or is she not - something more then what meets the eye is up! vladt 06/03/2006 07:59 am Ten great update. had me totally convinced of red's innocence, until the last two paragraphs. thanks for the fine read. Robyn 06/02/2006 03:59 am Ten I like that Buffy told Xander that she didn’t want him trying to control her life, that all she had ever wanted from him was friendship. I like that Willow pointed out when Xander’s true hatred of Spike started, but the rest of her thoughts have me worried. Thanks for the update. :) Eeek, is Willow evil?? thunks head - buffy can you not see that willow loves you and wants to make it better? Obviously it is not her (unless i am wrong of course lol) great chappie beat her down! beat her down! lol Robyn 05/23/2006 05:23 am Nine I'm glad that Buffy finally had a talk with Dawn, hopefully things will improve with them. I love the friendship and openness that Buffy is giving Spike. I am looking forward to the next chapter and Buffy’s conversation with Willow. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it. vladt 05/23/2006 03:54 am Nine very good read, thank you. buffy seems to have, as she occasionally does, jumped to the wrong conclusion :-) 07/04/2010 06:49 pm Eight ouch dawn is just having hissy fit AFTER hissy fit isn't she - makes you want to slap her up the head huh. *smile* good chappie vladt 05/17/2006 03:05 am Eight very good read. like the strong, decisive buffy. thanks for the read. Robyn 05/16/2006 01:40 pm Eight I liked Buffy's talk with Xander and the truths she pointed out. I also liked that she told him that Spike was her friend and her thoughts later when she realized that the only time she had revoked his invite to her house was after he had told her how he felt. Buffy’s guilt towards Giles shows what a good heart she has. Now if she could only reach Dawn. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it. Kill Giles while she's not looking! Muahahahahaha clairedelune 05/16/2006 02:52 am Eight I'm glad you made Buffy a stronger, more independent character in this story. It always bothered me in the series that, for a powerful heroine, she was so ruled by what others thought of her. Oh, I loved "what's her name? Mary Sue?" Genius. Great story. poor spike no one ever trusts him - they probably would not even care he had a soul - loved the tirade against giles! Robyn 05/11/2006 04:22 am Seven I really don't like Giles interference, he leaves Buffy on her own without help until he thinks she is doing something he doesn’t approve of and then he comes back to ‘fix’ things. What’s up with Spike and his little ‘gifts’? I am really enjoying this story and I hope you will be able to update soon. :) vladt 05/11/2006 04:05 am Seven good read, glad giles is written as canon, a complete ass. i suppose the show would not have last so long if the scoobies weren't such an egocentric group. no plot lines. love the read, thanks LoL, Sam was a major Mary Sue, yeah WHAT DID DAWN LEAVE HIM THIS TIME? That teen's got issues to work out. Update again. And does that poem have something to do with the spell? Would be amusing if Dawn got a spell off a poem, Buffy'll never pester her to read again excellant chapter - love buffys reasoning for hated willow very good reasons - love this chapter update soon please!! Gah, meddling old bastard.... *grumbles* I really am not liking judgmental Giles. He leaves when Buffy needs him the most, and then comes back because he's not sure that she is doing things the way he thinks she should. I like that she and Spike are getting along, and that she seems to be treating him like a friend. Excellent chapter. Keep going please, I'm loving this. ^_^ ohhh - I wonder what willow is up to and wondering what dawn has done. Very good chapter and very intriguing story my guess was right. i think Dawn needs a shrink or a counsellar DAWN? Gawd, I always hated her and the scoobies... heck, hated most of the characters... but this chapter really makes me hate them... Robyn 04/26/2006 02:20 am Five Thanks for the update. I like that we got Xander's, Willow's, and Dawn's thought of some of the things going on it their lives. And how these thoughts let us know some of Buffy's life. vladt 04/25/2006 11:05 pm Five fascinating chapter. delusional xander, willful red, and vengeful dawn. i am going to enjoy the read as you sort this tale out. thanks for the read. :-) 07/04/2010 02:24 pm Four :-) 07/04/2010 02:24 pm Four :-) 07/04/2010 02:24 pm Four :-) 07/04/2010 02:24 pm Four :-) 07/04/2010 02:23 pm Four I really like Buffy's job - makes a lot of sense. Great chapter -i wonder who stole the bundle? h,mmmmmm - very lovely I think i know who it is. but i could be wrong. Eeep! Who did it?? Dawn?? Ripper??? vladt 04/19/2006 10:06 pm Four wonderful read. became so engrossed in the conversation, i forgot about the bones. Robyn 04/19/2006 08:27 pm Four You really showcased some 'truths' from the show in Spikes thoughts. In particular how Angel was always good, Angelus was the one that was evil, and Spike was always evil, and if he did good it was only for selfish reasons. I really liked that Buffy and Spike finally got the first meeting over with. I am looking forward to where they go from here. clairedelune 04/19/2006 08:24 pm Four really enjoying this story! can't wait to see what develops. clairedelune 04/19/2006 08:23 pm Four really enjoying this story! can't wait to see what develops. Excellent. :-) 07/04/2010 02:11 pm Three ohhh i cant wait to see what happens next - poor spike everyone seems to be out to get him, yet he really has been trying to be good - even got himself a soul. *shakes head* Anya likes Giles? ewwww... sorry. i just don't like that coupling but lots of people do and it's ok. gr8 chap. vladt 04/14/2006 09:13 pm Three perfectly evil place for the end of the chapter. thanks for the fine read. Robyn 04/13/2006 11:15 pm Three Buffy and Spike finally come face to face, this is going to be interesting. Thanks for the update. Eeep! The meeting! :-) 07/04/2010 01:58 pm Two very good second chapter - i can't wait to find ot what happens next - very intiguing - is there a spell - who put it there - how is dawn inolved - good chappie i love Anya. Wonderful chapter. I don't see where you get on with this chapter yet but your characterization of Spike is hilarious. I feel so bad for Spike, so many bad things happened while he was gone and the worst is Tara's death. He keeps expecting Buffy to show up to punish him, and she doesn't even know he is back. And then there is the person who left him the little gift. All this on top of his new soul, he has a lot going on. I hope you will be able to update soon. Awww pooor pooor Spike excellent chappie :P Thanks for sharing :P :-) 07/04/2010 10:56 am One very intriguing start - i cant wait to see what happens next! I hated Joss for taking away the Spike-Dawn friendship. He didn't even give them a chance to talk it out. Hope u do in the end. This is really good. I am looking forward to reading this. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww vladt 04/07/2006 04:52 am One love the tone, the setting you create to start this tale. really want more. thanks for the fine read. OH MY God when I first started reading in this fandom this was one of my first favorite fics, but at the time was to lazy to review :P I will now I love this fic and am so glad you are posting it at the verse. | |||
