Thank you. And sadly, I'm not finished writing the sequel yet. It's coming along, just a lot slower than I'd like.

Chapter Nineteen: Shadow of the Day         
Sorry about my little snit earlier.  It was the shock of the ending.  If I hadn't enjoyed the ride so much I wouldn't have been so shocked. at it's abrupt finish.  Let me tell you why I enjoyed this fic so much.  I loved the way you portrayed the return of Queen C.  I think Cordelia is a much neglected character; her moral growth is enormous and her courage immense.  I missed her bitterly when she was written out of AtS.  Your comments on the different dynamics of the Scoobies and the AI gang are very insightful - I've always felt that the fudging of Cordy's age in AtS was beneficial to the relationships as her growth and maturity was given the implied time to happen.   The warmth and compassion of Lorne was a delight too - another character I'd love to see more of in other fics.  Anyway, the introduction of the Winchesters was  cheeky and charming.  The link is a little tenuous right now, but I'm desperate to see where you go with it.  (Can you explain , perhaps, why Dean walks like that?)   So, in other words, show some compassion. Take pity on us. Write the bloody sequel!   
ps I'm English.  I'm allowed and expected to say 'bloody.'  
     
That's okay. Your snit made me giggle. And since I've had the same reaction to stories I like just ending, I understand completely. :)

I missed Cordelia as well. Her character leaving the show left a big hole. I liked her brutal honesty on Buffy, and I loved her growth on Angel. I just couldn't leave her out of this fic. As for Lorne, he's just awesome! Lorne needs more love.

And I know the link between the Buffyverse and the Winchesters is tenous, it will get fleshed out in the sequel. It's just that Connor and Sam both went to the same college at the same time, and I'm just a little obessed with Supernatural. I couldn't resist throwing them in. :D

And the sequel is being written. Saddly, it's going a lot slower than I'd like, but it is being written. :)

By the way- When you asked this, (Can you explain , perhaps, why Dean walks like that?) , could you drop me a line and explain this? I looked back and I can't figure out what you're referring to. (And I'd just email you if I could find your name on this site.)

Is there a sequel?  Dear lord let there be a sequel.  If not you are going to hell, you know.  Around about the seventh circle, I think.   Tell me how to get to the sequel!
I would tell you how to get to the sequel, but it's not finished yet. :P

Honestly, I'm still working on it. Thank you for the reviews! :)

Read your story a second time and I hope that you have started that sequel 'cause it would be a real pity to leave this tale unfinished -
There will be a sequel. I just wanted to get FWtBT finished first. So don't worry. I refuse to leave a story unfinished if I can help it. :)

Wonderful story - so glad that you are doing a sequel and that we will be having Supernatural Folk with us along for the ride -

Hope that you give Spike more time to develop his own place in the world, sperate and fully equal - and I sincerely hope that our little miss buffy makes her entrance into the world as a woman on a path of wisdom and not just as a warrior -

Please try to bring more of Lorne into this story, he has such great potential as a character and yet is so overlook in buffyverse and angelverse ff. Look forward to Connor's development as well as Dawn -

Would be fun to have an adventure with Sam, Dean, Connor and Dawn as a spin off - maybe with some Cordelia and Lorne in the story - I can always hope.

Well this was a happy suprise. :)

I'm glad you liked it. I had been stuck on how to end this fic for months, and it finally opened up when I added in Sam and Dean.

I fully plan on having Spike find his own place in the world and have Buffy do some growing up. I think they both need it.

I'll certianly see about having more of Lorne. I just love him. :D

As for the spin off idea, I'll keep it in mind for later. ;)

Thank you for the review and the wonderful suggestions. :)

That was excellent. An emotional rollar coaster - some of the characters I want to smack, others I want to hug, and some I want to do both at the same time! lol

I love that you're bringing Sam and Dean into this, btw. Should be interesting! I look forward to the sequel.
I'm glad you liked it. :)
Connor and Sam both went to Stanford, so I couldn't resist adding them in. :D

Anyway, now that this is finished I should be able to plan out the sequel.
Thank you for the lovely review. :)

That was great, but left at a cliffie. I want you to write the sequel soon, but I also don't feel like I can wait for another chapter of 'For Whom The Bell Tolls'. I feel bad that Buffy and Spike never made up.
I'm glad you liked it. I had always intended to write a sequel, so this ending was going to be left open. As for "Tolls" I'm working on the next chapter as I write this. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon.
Thank you for the review. :)

oh no I feel so sad for Buffy. They never patched things up, but I wonder why he left the skull ring.
I feel bad for her too, but Spike had to get his rear far away from Wolfram and Hart. ( Connor too.)The reason behind the skull ring will be revealed in the sequel. Thank you for the reviews. :)

When are the Powers ever any help? When they do decide to lend a hand it's always cryptic stuff that makes sense after the event has taken place. Glad you liked it and hopefully I'll have more very soon. =)

I loved Buffy’s talk with the Oracles and with what they told her along with what the others, particularly Wes, have told her hopefully will really help her see Angel for who he really is. Thank you so much for the update, I really enjoyed it.

What can I say? I actually liked Hamilton. He's evil. =)

Chapter Thirteen: Man In The Box         
This is an execellent story. I do my happy dance every time I see that it has been updated. I love that you update often and with nice solid chapters. The story is well thought out and put together. And each chapter forwards your story’s plotline. I give this story 10 stars with 3 snaps up.
However, I am very confused after this chapter. The way that you are portraying the L.A. gang, Angel and Buffy are out of character at some points. And Buffy boy she needs to keep thinking instead of opening her mouth. Now each one of the L.A. gang has been saved by Angel, over the pass 3 years.
Gunn almost lost his soul and life over a car. Constantly put up with his abuse about not wanted to work with Vampires, Gunn choosing his crew over Angel.
Fred from Pylea, plus he provided her with a safe haven to recover.
Wesley he helped to become a man, a demon fighter and helped him to become more comfortable with himself.
Queen C. he protected when she would have ended up demon food on a number of occasions.
But hear they sit and condemn him because he took their memories of his son. That’s friendship for you and the fact that none of them can even try to understand why a father would do it to protect his son shows that these people are not really all their. After all they all choose of their free will to work at W &H, surely they knew it came with price tags they could not see.
But the person who takes the cake in this chapter is Wesley. He made Angel's actions seem petty. In my opinion Wesley is living in a glass house. After all when he found the prophecy saying that Angel would kill his son. Like an upstanding friend, I am sure he called a meeting with Angel or even the others to discuss what he found with them and decide the best way to act and everything worked out in the end. Oops nope that's not true, Wesley after keeping the information to himself and vaguely doing an so called investigation and listening to a man who has hunted and hated Angel for years came to the conclusion that Angel would do the unthinkable and kill his son. So instead of either confronting deal with Angel or taking his evidence to the group so they could come to a decision after all several evil, eviler and down right destructive groups are after the child. Wesley knocked out Lorne, stole Angel’s baby. Then not 10 steps from his door, ends up losing the baby to the evil people he trusted instead of his friends, which was a direct result of the boy being raised in an hell dimension and having a life he was never meant to, therefore it is no wonder that when Connor returned he was very unstable. Let’s say I can see why Angel did not ask his permission to take his memories.

Don’t get me wrong, I am in the middle on what Angel did, I understand why the group would be upset that he took their memories about Connor, but then again none of them have kids and who knows maybe if they did and after seeing what was happening to there child because of this world they choose as an adult to enter and fight in they might decide that no one friend or not knowing about their child was the only way to keep him safe. So if a parent is willing to keep their child safe, why not wipe friends memories clean.

Now Queen C, took the wrong approach with angel and she messed up her intervention with him. And in spite she choose the most nasty way to let the cat out of the bag.

I do hope that Angel does have a grand plan, and if he does not then I hope that he can be redeemed and brought back in the fold.

Thanks for writing this story.
Boy did you have a lot to say! =) And I do thank you for taking the time to do so. Your comments helped me write this next chapter. I am glad you like this story and I hope that you continue to enjoy it. Thanks again!

oh angel is so in over his head...i dont think he really understands what he's doing and in some misguided way he probably thinks he's doing a good thing but he's completely motivated by jealousy and bitterness *sigh* great update though, cant wait for more :)
Don't worry. There is a reason for Angel's behavior. He's an idiot. O.k so that's not the reason in the story. It is just my opinion! ;)
Next chapter is up now. Hope you like it!

I think if Giles tries anything Wes will definitely stop him. Maybe with a little pistol whipping.

I'm glad Cordy woke up. The reason I always liked her with Angel is that she doesn't let him get away with things the way Buffy always has.
Ahhhh what an image. Giles definately needs some sense knocked into him. I'll see what I can do. ;)
I figure if ANYONE could get Angel to see the truth it would be Cordy. If not she would probaly bash him repeatedly in the head. Now that is a nice image... =)

Really want to smack the crap out of Giles and Xander. Angel is definitely not a champion and I seriously doubt Buffy is any more.
I have wanted to do that a time or two as well. I always believe that Spike made the better Champion anyway. He chose to fight. No curse for our vamp! Buffy needed to learn some humility when it comes to certain aspects of her life.

Chapter Seven: Down In A Hole         
This truly is the saddest story. Well written, but sad. Spike neither needs nor wants Buffy, and she only wants him for all the wrong reasons. Even Buffy's sister, her only family, hates her. She needs to apologize for interrupting their lives,go home, and move on, letting them do the same.
In my opinion, Buffy needs to grow up a bit more before she could ever be in a real relationship. From what I could see, that didn't happen on the show. Relationships take work. You pick each other up when things are bad and you realise that it is now two people's wants and needs to take into consideration, not just one. A real relationship can not be all about one person.
If I could make it so Buffy lost him to someone better, I would. But I can't do that here, so she will just have to grow up and earn him back.
I'm glad you like this story! If it is sad, then I've done a good job. I do hope that you enjoy the rest of it. These reviews do help keep the stories going and they make my day.=)

Spike forgave Buffy before but then he didn't have a support system like he does now.

I love how even Dawn was digusted by her. She's gonna have a lot of obstacles trying to get him to forgive her.
That is true and also because Spike easily forgives most wrongs done to him. (at least that's what I noticec on the show)Now well, he's angry and depressed and knows that Buffy and he are on even footing. Buffy will have to convince a lot of people she's ready to change before they let her near Spike.

I was writing that chapter and Harmony just popped in and insisted on getting a few words in. So I let her. And yeah, Buffy blew it. Now she has some serious groveling to do. =)

Great chapter, I'm just hoping Spike doesn't forgive Buffy in like a sentence or something if he forgives her at all...She needs guilty/pain/suffering ;)
I don't think I've ever had Spike just forgive Buffy in one sentence, so no worries there. :)

08/09/2007 03:55 am
Chapter Six: Bleeding Me         
Well, I was really looking forward to reading this fic when I found it, but it looks like I'm going to have to sit this one out. You are a very creative and talented writer, but I can handle reading another Buffy bashing fic.

I realize this kind of thing is a lot of people's cup of tea, but it really turns me off. I think part of the reason is, there's been a huge amount of fics lately designed to make the reader hate Buffy and feel sorry for Spike. But, I simply can't take reading another one. I'm really tired of being made to hate Buffy. I know it's not popular, but I really like her.

Anyway - please don't be offened. I fully believe you should write what you want to write, but I think I'll pass this one up and wait for whatever your next prohect might be. :) because, I really do love your writing! :)
I'm sorry you feel that way. I didn't see it as Buffy-bashing, and you were supposed to feel bad for Spike. He had been ripped from heaven and now had to face visions and Angel.
I'm not offended, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me this. I'm going to be reworking this story, now that it is done, and I'll keep what you've said in mind. :)

Thanks! Buffy really started irritating me at the end of the show. So now she has to earn Spike back. It is time she realised that she was not the center of the universe.
And poor Spike was no where near hell. I'll get more out as soon as I can.

It makes more sense that Spike wasn't in Hell than he wasn't . Even lacking a soul , he fought to do good in the service of love. Then once he got a soul, he died to save the world. He died in a state of grace.

Even if it turns out that there is some spell making Buffy act like that , she's going to have to do some serious crawling to get back with Spike and I for one will enjoy every bit of it.
I got the idea from a few comments made when Spike first came back. I think it was the second episode of the season(the first full one Spike was in) were he asked if he was in hell and Lorne told him no, just L.A. And we all remember Buffy asking Dawn the same thing once she was brought back. ;)

I plan on making her earn him back. Spike has done enough reaching out. It is now her turn. =)

Cool beginning! I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone write Spike with 'The Visions' before.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
In my opinion, there are not enough stories dealing with this subject. The main bulk that I've come across deal mainly with the Buffy side and not Angel. I've read one that is solely in the Angel universe. It's not Spuffy but a Spike/Fred story and set in an AU season four. The other is a slash(Spike/Angel)story with some Buffy thrown in. They are both well written, but most of the Spuffy ones stay in Buffy's world with a little Angel thrown in.
None deal with the issues I want to deal with. So I'm going to cross my fingers and hope this works out. ;)
