This is one of my favorite stories - great reading it again.

This is one of my favorite Buffy Resurrection works - love all the elements and how you incorporated the series and this new Buffy life you created.  A very good balance between the pain that she had to experience and the pain and love that Spike had to lived through in their relationship.  Really like how you wrote the Buffy-Giles relationship.

Great reading your work again - this is a wonderful Spuffy variation on Buffy being brought back.   Like how you used all of the characters.

i actully read this on another site were you couldn't comment but i just had to faind a site that would alow me to so i could tell you how great this story is!!!!

 

this was the 2nd  time that i read this and it still makes me go "aaawww"...  this is really a wonderful story!

OH I love it, glad everything worked out in the end.

This was great, I really loved it.

I loved it so much! It was perfect!

Wow. I can't say how much I loved this story in this little box! Seriously so amazing. I went through so many emotions with this. But the chapter where they bond was just overwhelming. And when Giles finally broke down and cried had me balling. Such good description. I loved that it was like the show, it had romance, angst, comedy, all of it. Great story!!!!!

loved this story...gave me a real happy....ugh not that kind of happy...ahh u know what i mean heheh...

Awww! What a sweet fic. Very nice :love

wow...i loved that! it was great.

sniff sniff sniff oh my that was so sweet - I loved this story - fab fab fab - loved loved loved - sorry i just can't describe how much i did. Very sweet, funny and nice!

oh wow - what a completely fantastic story. I too have been reading you for years - i have a whole binder with your stuff. I am so pleased to see that you are still writing - you have improved more and more over the years - your writing just gets better. This story was simply wonderful. thank you so much for letting Buffy get pissed off and telling the damn scoobies off. Although Giles was pretty harsh throughout the story until the end, which was surprising. Those scoobies are always so clueless - and the show really did a disservice by having buffy come back so traumatized and then immediately having her get back to slaying - it was so awful. Love this story Chelle - I hope you keep on writing for a long time. I would love to see a sequel to this one. thank you for sharing your talent with us.

I have been reading your work for years, and you have never failed to make me feel just about every emotion there is with your writing. I loved this story, I hope you continue with the wonderful work. I really wouldn't mind a sequel to this *wink, wink*

Great story. I really love it. You actually made me tear up there at the end with the "I hear it in my heart" line. Beautiful. I've always loved your stuff.

A very nice story!!! It was a fun read. Thank you for this great concept. Looking forward to reading more of your work.

Phew! Good to read Dawn made Spike coming back. And he now realized that he'll be bound to Buffy for a bit longer than he first thought. Well or not. Turns out the bond wasn't really a bond. Loved made her stay and not get teleported. ~ Loved the end! So not healing powers any longer and no long life for Buffy. Returning to heaven one day. Though I hope Buffy will live as long as Spike but I think it will be the other way around. Nice of Spike to give Spike roots too, being a real person with a passport etc. ~ Loved reading this one!

LOVED IT!! How about a sequel?

What a beautiful story. It made me cried and it made me smiled. Thank you for a delightful couple of hours.

Awwwe! Yeah! for happy endings. Really enjoyed this.

I LOVED IT! What a wonderful story! I really liked how you kept saying that you can't trust the word of a demon, lol! Hope to see more from you very soon....

Wow, that was a super and sweet happy ending. I'm glad everyone's emotional traumas got nicely healed. It's too bad Joss never let his characters be that happy. Great job!

This was a great story, full of passion & fire

yay! happy happy ending! and though, still not quite sure what was so evil about the alliance, but oh well...

awwww what a great ending!!!

Great end to a great story.

that was so sweet...love how giles managed to come to terms with the whole thing, and how there was really no bond but she still loved him...what an excellent ride this story has been...loved it :)

This was a great fic, I loved it. Good Job.

Aww, that was such a great story. Amazing, really. I loved it and hope to read more from you soon.

Nice ending.

Typical freak out from Buffy...so silly. Good thing smoochies shut her up.

Better be careful about all these sudden influxes of cash, kiddo. The taxman will be on your heels. Does the IRS keep track of demon banks?

That is true Wonder if WIllow would let herslef stay dead.

giggles - some very nice lines especially the last one about willow not letting him stay dead. great story!

The last and yet not last chapter. Well now Buffy don't have to tell she was in heaven. The others know. And uh-huh.. that didn't go well. And now Buffy hurt Spike with her mistrust. Uh-huh: Cliffhanger hon! I hope you'll continue. Please? Do you need begging? Just tell me :) Hopefully till next chapter :)

very good read, thanks. troubled by giles' slap going unpunished. his manner and words were enough to merit censure and a beating.

great chapter

Don’t worry, Willow won’t let you stay dead."

Love this line! ROFL - So much like dialogue in the show where you blink suddenly and then realize it's funny. Very clever. I was going to wait for the end to review, but I couldn't resist commenting on that line.

lol.. i cant believe giles hit her.. but lol to the interaction after.. lol

Yay! So glad Buffy can get out of the alliance but not out of the bond with Spike. Tee hee. And I think you dealt with all the Buffy and Giles emotional stuff really well. I'm much more satisfied with his behavior in your story than I was with it in the show!

I want more!:soon:

I have just read the whole story until now, so this is my first review for this story, but let me tell you I like it very much. Please update soon.

Goodness...

Is she going to just chicken out now? Because she already admitted to herself that she'd been falling for Spike, so...I just hate all the lies.

Poor Spike...

IS IN SIGHT? Oh, I'm hoping you're going to reconcile the spuffy factors before said end.

By the way, I love the last quote by Buffy xD.

i love the ending line...love how spike got her free of her contract, and giles and spike both going all macho protective over buffy...lol...gotta love them both...an excellent chapter in so many ways...but now she needs to go find spike and set things right! :)

*laughs so hard she snorts* Willow won't let you stay dead... i LOVE that line!!! ROFLMAO!!

OH that as funny Spike forgetting the clothes.

i love it - I would be such a bad slayer I would take the job in a heartbeat and not have a second thought. Maybe that is why I am more like Buffy then Fauth *sigh* although... wouldn't it be fun to do a faith perspective if she accepted this job? Don't mind me - the story is great which always makes me daydream - you are doing a fantastic job!

Oh.. it sounds almost as if Buffy was a virgin again, huh? Loved how Spike reacted when Buffy gave him the medallion. Otherwise? Don't worry! The chapter wasn't horrible, I loved it :-D

wonderful read. hot, sexy and hilarious. thank you.

This is a wonderful story full of strong emotion and even stronger pain. Complete with the perfect mix of Spuffy shaped snark. Spike running outside starkers was golden!

LOL. The last part was really funny!

Great chapter!! And that makes total sense, that her body might have been renewed like that. I've seen the idea only a couple times before.

And Spike running out the door without his clothes...so totally fitting...he would so do that without thinking, but I think he's a bit embarassed now. And that elderly woman won't be forgetting THAT sight any time soon!

And Yay, he has a sunlight charm!

Very glad that Buffy realized she's into him, too. Didn't want things to be one sided.

I just caught up with this fic today, and I love it :D . It's angsty, but not tooooo much, just when things get really dark there's a little light :) . Thank you!

lol thats funny!! i can so imagine spike doing that!!

well thats a pretty failproof test...naked spike in the sun not going all dusty...hmm...pretty picture, too :) lol...great chapter, loved it...more please :)

Naked Spike in a parking lot? Those people were lucky to get such a visual treat. Will Bob try to kill her now? Is she still immortal? More story please.

Dammit, why couldn't have I been in that parking lot *pouts* lol

That was awesome. Absolutely fantabulous. Very hot and sexy. I loved it.

great chapter

Just the opposite of horrible, actually. Can't wait for more.

 

oh well that is one way to get what you want. or don't want.

OHHHHH quickie! I am so jealous - I'll take spike anytime anywhere *blushes* oops did i say that - good story so far - I love it!

Travis was the first to notice that Buffy wasn't in hell and that got Giles thinking. And the Council knows of the Alliance? Then they are well known. And there is a way to get Buffy back? But I guess not longer immortal then or with the healing abilities. Ah, clever! Buffy isn't telling Spike, she just writes it down and lets him eavesdrop her reading. Then it is bad like Travers that. And I bet the way out of it isn't written in the contract. Mmm binding Buffy so she can't be teleported? Sounds like a claim to me. Oh it is time now!

Very good thickening of plot!

good update, evil place to stop. thanks for both.

WOW, I think she is in trouble now. I figured that Bob wasn't completely honest with her. I hope that they can keep her bound to Spike. Can't wait for the next update!

wow...that's um...impulsive....lol...excellent chapter, can't wait to read more of this...can't wait to see what happens when they get back to sunnydale, too :)

Giles to the rescue! lol I'm glad he changed his mind and decided to come back. Surprising that Travers would be that insightful. He's brighter than I gave him credit for. I can't wait for them to go back to Sunnydale now and have a chat with Giles about all this.

:O oh my.. great updates cant wait for the next chapter!!!!

Whoa! And we've jumped to mating! Well, he'll take really good care of her. Excellent care. Thank goodness she finally spilled the beans to Spike. Hurry! Hurry!

So Evil!!! How could you leave it there?!? Can't wait for the next update.

wow great chapter. hope theres more soon

You stopped there! More, more. PLEASE!

Aw! You cant stop there! Keep going! Love where you are taking this.

lol, a quickie

Are they realy gonna do it?

great chapter

 

At least Spike got her out of there in time, I wonder if she will tell him about being immortal.

poor buffy - to bad she had to miss Giles - I wish she could have met up with him - everyone is being so bitter - do they nt get it - well of course not but greta writng and emotions!

So know Buffy woke up and remembered Giles. Too bad it was to late. And the others are angry. Well they don't know anything yet. And again Spike stands by her side, helping her with her wish to get away for a bit. I hope it will help her.

road trip, good. scoobies bad. good read, thanks

this roadtrip should be therapeutic...you know i really think she *should* have told them all the truth...i feel bad for giles, though, that he didn't get to say goodbye... :( great chapter though

Yeah, maybe a little time away from Sunnydale, her overbearing friends and all the bullshit will help her. It's sad that she missed Giles though. Great chapter.

Where are they going? Buffy and Spike alone and away from Sunny Hell, cool.

I say tell them... that'd shut the jerks up...

great chapter

OH that is good, maybe Spike can get a message to Giles about where she really was with out the others knowing.

ahh nice bonding moment - and I rather like her contract lol - i think it is nifty - immortal, nice money - pleanty of time with her honey... sigh sounds like a nice life

Buffy had purposely made incorrect moves and sabotaged herself at every turn? Then she wants to get kissed :-D And then she runs again... ~ Mmm being immortal? Sounds good but not for one who came right out of heaven and can't go back than in order to you have to be dead, right? ~ And still Giles (and Willow) are thinking Buffy was in hell. I wonder what's the what with Willow's headaches. Normal? Or is there something behind it? And now Giles is going.

good read, thanks

Wow, going from missing heaven to finding out you'll never go there again, that's pretty harsh. Poor Buffy.

Buffy's immortal! Interesting read. Thanx. Loved all the Harry Potter reference in the last chappie.

great chapter

great chapter

poor buffy... and spike is such an ass...

Tease! Though could there be the teeniest chink in her armour?

you make me actually sympathize with willow...she made a huge mistake but her motivations weren't all bad...poor buffy, to think that immortality could be a bad thing, but i understand...poor thing...can't wait to read more :)

 

looks like she has lost some of her anger with the new demon bob.

oh i loved it - i have a feeling this contract could kick her in the butt - but darn that seems ideal for all her plans. I love this story!

And now Spike is acting as a counselor... because that's what Buffy needs at the moment. And when Buffy isn't thinking about her problems, than it was good. ~ Like the chapter :-D

excellent update, love the last line. thanks

Loved the buffy/spike talk

Only just caught up with this - great story. Good strong characterisations.

I like it.

oooh.. i like it.. cant wait for more!! :D

"oops, i thought i wanted to lose all my chips" lmao

Will Buffy tell Spike about her contract? Should be a fun checkers match. More story please.

All right! Now it's getting really interesting. Looking forward to the next update.

Well, I had a huge "Duh!" moment in my other review. I don't even know why I thought Belzor was the one who could tell her who to kill now. I guess it's because Bob is a shapeshifter and made himself look like Belzor when she first met him. Anyway, doesn't matter. Forget my last review. This one was a great chapter. I love that she wasn't as nasty to Spike at the end of the chapter. I guess having $100 000 in your purse puts you in a good mood lol. It's great that she opened up a little. A step in the right direction.

great chapter

This is shaping up quite nicely. I eagerly await the next chapter.

Well, she's bitchy, but at least she's sharing. And the money means they won't lose the house...and they can eat. Without DMP. Gotta do something about tax season, though. The IRS gets really cranky when you don't declare $100,000.

I like Spike trying to take care of her this way.

lol...that's awesome! though why she needs to throw it i'm not sure...she wins either way :)...she's starting to come around, and now the healing can start...thanx for this update so soon...can't wait for more :)

The sense of frustration practically jumps off the page in this chapter! 

He is right, I do think she needs to be watched.

I love it! She signed the contract without ever reading it quite on accident! I wonder how this will play out for her - and is the healing part of the benefits. Great story s far!

Oh shhhhhh** now Buffy activated the deal by accident.. a lifelong contract without even reading the contract terms *head desk* That can be bad. But for now her hand was healing quickly. All part of the contract I guess. And now she's angry. But I think it is a good thing Spike was following her. As long as he don't get caught ;-)

buffy really can be so stupid. very good read, thanks

Buffy has never made me laugh as much as in this fic.

That's not good. I wonder what was in the contract. I have a bad feeling about this. Well, any life long biding contract would be a bad thing, but when it's to a demon that can make you kill whoever he wants you to kill, that's even worst. And didn't Spike said that Belzor wanted him dead at some point? Badness!

Oh dear. Buffy has a contract for the rest of her life. Is it like a Wolfram & Hart contract that one can't even get out of by dying? More story please.

i hope he doesnt regret going after her, in the mood she's in...so now she's committed, albeit accidentally..a great chapter, and i can't wait for your next update...please make it soon! :)

stupid spike....

OH that was good between Giles and Spike.

still anxiously awaiting buffy's decision cncening her new job offer! great chapter - I am very intrigued with this story!

Oh :-D Busted.. Spike was waiting for Buffy after the shower. I'm sure he liked the sight *gg* Well, you came. You saw. ~ No, love. I saw. Almost came. Not quite. Yeah, right *gg* I :heart: it, that was funny :) At last Dawn is happy that Spike will be the new watcher. Buffy doesn't know yet, right?

giles can be downrright scary, can't he? and her friends still have no idea what she's dealing with...off to read the next one... :)

Very nice so far! I couldn't stop reading it! I can't wait for you to update again!

You have some really great one liners!

“And do consider buying something a little more ... practical ... when you get paid.”

great chapter!!! love it! cant wait for more!!

Loving this! Was hoping it was completed so I could read the whole thing, but I guess it's better for my dirty house that I have to stop here. LOL

She is so Spike's girl! This chapter was seriously funny, especially Buffy's reaction to the attack on Xander. Update soon

*makes a rude gesture at Giles with her hand*

it has always been difficult to decide who was the biggest ass, giles or xander. thanks for the fine read.

Oh! I'm really enjoying this! More please!

Just thought I would comment on how awesome your story is so far. I love how you are writing all the characters, especially Dawn, Spike and Buffy. I actually really like how messed up Buffy is, and its really believable. Cant wait to see where you take this. Update soon!

Maybe I'm biased, but I'd really want to tell all of the scoobies esspecially Giles and Xander "Fuck you all to hell".

People see what they want to see, but blindness has a limit. And how can they be so cruel? Yes they have their own problems and frustrations and they snap. But they snap to Spike who I love very much so they can all go to hell.

Please let this fic have a hellish end.

/rant mode off

OH I wonder if he wants Buffy.

i wonder what i sgoing to happenn next - both of these things seem to be to much of a coincidence - i am on the edge of my seat!

At last Buffy had fun with the mud even if it was only for a moment. I hope Buffy would loose the scroll and Spike would see it but that would have been to easy, right? :) And now he is walking her home. Good he was able to make Buffy's wall a bit weak. *checks* Xander got attacked by Belzor? That's the one Buffy has to kill (if she chooses to work for BOB). So they'll hunt him now or more precisely: Hunt his spell. (And yeah, nobody thought Buffy would go to heaven when she died. They only thought she would be trapped in a hell dimension. Not even Giles.)

That Belzor sounds like bad news.

so buffy needs to go after this thing anyway...wonder what she's going to decide... :)

why did he attack Xander?

very good read. xander getting hit by a demon is just a bonus. thanks for the read.

Hit Xander some more!!

OH please tell me she goes to Spike and she choses wisely with the demon

Oh my goodness - what a brilliant twist! I loved this - fab fab idea!

Mmm BOB. I wonder what's the what with his offer. A life long contract? This is too good to be true. But Buffy didn't burn the scroll yet.
This is the last chapter for today, it is late. But the story isn't finished even it is listed as finished or am I wrong? Because: The end is in sight, folks! Thank you so much for reading this so far. I'll try to finish it up and post the rest this weekend. *scratches head*

Woah, that was an interesting twist. I've never read anything like this before, which is rare in fanfiction because so much has been done before. Good for you. I'm really loving this fic.

wow...why was she suddenly so scared? this has bad written all over it...and yet i'm intrigued...you are doing an excellent job of making me feel her emotions :)

interesting turn. good read, thanks

How thoroughly enthralling! Can't wait for the next update.

You're on fire! Seriously, this is really good! Update soon.

Well, that's interesting.

you can run, but you can't hide, Buffy... muahahahaha

OH at least Dawn is taking it well.

sweet dawn and giles moment - i love why you gave giles reason to return - that ,akes more sense then the show did - thank you very much

So Spike has now the position of a paid watcher.. more or less. ~ Loved Buffy's talk to Giles, very moving (heartbreaking). And Buffy trying to slay? It sounds as if she is in trouble now.. lots of trouble.

You made me cry a little =(

spike needs to come help her!!! poor buffy! her speech to giles was utterly heart-wrenching, and so true...how could he resist that? but then -- he's gonna have a baby....i'm so torn...more please :)

I am enjoying this story. Very good Buffy characterization. I like the way you have Giles leaving. For such a good reason but even that Buffy cannot understand. The Giles/Spike conversation was just hillarious "Sold. I'm a Watcher.

"You're a 'Looker After'. You're a 'Seeing Eye Vampire'. You're not quite a Watcher."

Very funny dialogue. Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Ugh, please spare the baby the ho music *shudders*

good read, thanks. i'm trying to decide which is more evil: 1) leaving buffy without a weapon and thirty vampires between her and an exit; or 2)"...and we listened to Britn-"

good read, thanks. i'm trying to decide which is more evil: 1) leaving buffy without a weapon and thirty vampires between her and an exit; or 2)"...and we listened to Britn-"

30 vamps? Buffy's toast.

Great story - please continue!

Thanks, Cheryl

Im loving this fic so far - can't wait for more!

Update soon please :D

Very cool. I haven't seen Watcher!Spike (kinda) in this timeframe before. I'm really looking forward to that. I like the Giles stuff here too, and I hope there's more of that coming.

Buffy is messed up - so are some of the others - and I'm eager to see how Spike will fit into the mix given his mandate from Giles.

Super good story happening here! Will be eagerly awaiting updates...

Wow! Talk about childish and insensitive...  Buffy really needs to get off the ego wagon and delve inside herself.

OH Giles did not handle it well, I wonder where she will go.

poor buffy she is not taking anything rather well at the moment -being pulled out of heaven was so harsh on hr - i like your version of her

Willow takes magic to easy indeed. Good she changed her mind of doing the spell. "I'm sorry my being back from the dead isn't everything you'd hoped it would be, Willow. Maybe you should return me and get a refund. Buffy hit the target. Not very funny but right. And very hard news for Buffy. Giles will leave her do; she didn't expect it.

That was so sad for Buffy. At least he's got a better reason that he had on the show. But I still think it's cruel of him to leave her, and unfair. He has a responsibility to his Slayer and should put his foot down and try to make Olivia change her mind. They don't even have to live in Sunnydale, they could live nearby so he could be there when Buffy needs him. For God's sake, she just died and come back! So sad. Good chapter.

wow that brought me to tears...poor buffy, she must feel so abandoned...but i cant blame giles, either...she's lost so much...another excellent, moving chapter :)

Giles has always been a major wanker...

very, very good. thanks

OH that was a good talk to bad it didn't go his way.

how sad - poor buffy

And the cold water made her sober. But I guess not ready for Spike's talk. Is being tired an emotion *gg* Buffy tries to argue against Spike's opinions. That's a hard task for Spike, saving Buffy (who doesn't want to be saved).

God she's so stubborn. Good thing Spike is patient... At least when it comes to dealing with her. I hope he can help her.

this is heartwarming in a very sad sort of way..he's so there for her, she just doesn't know it yet...excellent chapter :)

pounce her Spike! hehe

good read, thanks

yep that Blue stuff did her in.

good chapter!

Silly Buffy... does she really think she can drive? Yeah, she drunken enough to do it. At last Buffy is getting the booze out again. Not a pleasant way to do it.

So sad to see Buffy hit rock bottom like that. Great story so far. Can't wait to read more.

poor buffy...that's quite tragic actually...poor thing...bet spikey can make it all better :P :)

throw up on him! throw up on him! lol

good read. i found the chapter(not that i believe it was intended to be that funny.) but having starred in both roles, especailly at the end, i found myself laughing. thanks for the fun.

Oh that was good, wonder what the blue liguid was

Very intriguing start - I wonder why Buffy keeps loosing hersef in drinking. I am looking forward to reading more

Oh my.. apparently Buffy is loosing it. She is getting drunk every day and harder stuff too. And know Spike sees how serious it is. On to the rescue, huh?

spike to the rescue!!!! poor buffy...that's depressingly sad..can't wait to see what happens next! :)

hehehe, drunk slayer

very fascinating beginning, thank you for the fine read.
