Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire by wolf116 Ok I am hooked need more please good news, not. good read, yes, thank you. hmmmm...that would be interesting, them getting released from the mental institution...wonder what "home" would be like for them in their alternate reality? interesting chapter, love :) Intriguing turn of events, should be interesting to see how this new development plays out. Loved Spike and Buffy's little exchange about Giles. Good update! That is a bit of a cunundrum? Where will they go and can they be together on the outside? This will be interesting. Thanks for the great update. clarityfades 03/28/2007 11:15 pm News That's of the Good yea...good to see what's going on w/ spuffy. hmm, still wondering if they're really in her mind or in some weird waiting room of the PTB. another excellent chappie, keep up the great work! Lou 03/28/2007 09:37 pm News That's of the Good Decisions decisions... OH boy oh boy oh boy YOUR EVIL!!!!! Yes cliffhanger damn it! Gggggggggrrrrr! please update soon! and ummm thank you! Evil, Evil, Evil! HE,HE! Just wait and see just how evil I can be. Don't you just hate a cliffhanger. Thank You! very good read, thank you. good conversation which they both needed. clarityfades 03/28/2007 06:23 am The Decision's Made aww...giles loves spike! lol excellent scene of dawn and giles doing their best for buffy. i wonder how long it'll take for wolfram & hart to start (or try to start) messing w/ buffy? and will anything be successful? and where the heck is spike? ok...deep breath. please write more soon...i'll hold my breath til you do! and i don't look cute in blue, so i look forward to reading more. LOL! Too bad what's best for them may not be for Buffy, but you never know. W&H? Well they're always messing with someone aren't they? Blue, ugh. Don't hold it that long. You might pass out. Thank You! awww, a little bit of giles and dawn bonding...very sweet...and giles admitting at the end that he'll actually miss spike, very nice touch :) Aww! Just makes you all squishy doesn't it? Giles needed to realize what Spike had done. A little too late, but still. Thank You! Thank you for someone mentioning him after two weeks and how cute was that Giles misses Spike too! That was worth the wait. Great work, thanks. Yeah finally! Giles needed to realize and recognize what Spike had done for them all. Thank You! It occurs to me to wonder - what are they doing about Buffy's more physical needs? Hydration, nutrition and elimination are still necessary. If she's been like that for 2 weeks, and they are trying to take care of her, who is stuk with that part of the job? (YUCK!) It doesn't take TOO long to die of dehydration. Gee, I'm just full of questioning commentary tonight. I should just go to bed and give all you authors a break from CrankyMe. I am enjoying this story, and I particularly liked the interaction between a slightly crazed Dawn and a Ripperish Giles. The image of her there with her hair in her face, glaring at Giles, was great. You know this review cracked me up. I don't know, but maybe they put some Depends on her for those unseemly accidents. The image that came to mind when writing Dawn's glare was the way that Dana (the crazy arm chopping off slayer) had that glare through her hair. Happy that you're enjoying. Thank You, for such a fun review. The talk between Giles and Dawn was wonderful, I also enjoyed reading their musings about each other. The bonding moment they shared over Spike's loss was very touching. Great chapter! :) I just had to have a G/D father/daughter talk. And couldn't resist the whole Spike moment. Thank You! Great chapter ... great interaction between Dawn and Giles. I am glad they BOTH are admiting to missing Spike. I still dont know what to hope for yet in this story... cant' wait to find out though! Thank You! It seemed to me that Dawn and Giles had gotten closer in Season 7, and he having a talk with her seemed to fit. Hope you like what I have planned for the rest of this. I like your portrayal of Dru, the interaction between her and Spike was great. Loved the Spuffy scene Tara walked into. Fantastic chapter! Thank You! You guys have made me smile, after the day I've had. Can't tell you how these reviews brightened it up. Thank You for that. clarityfades 03/24/2007 10:48 pm An Unexpected Cryptic Message ooh...dru AND miss edith? you sneaky, sneaky author, you. now, i'm panting to know when spuffy will figure out what dru was talking about! hope they figure it out before butthead angel and evil inc. another wonderful chappie! can't wait for more! Sneaky? Who me? Spuffy will find out shortly, but not short enough for you all I'd guess. Just hang in there. Thank You! Wow, that was a surprise. Guess if everyone else is here, why not her? Oh boy, wait 'til they figure out they really don't belong there after all. Wondering just how upset they are going to be? What did Giles really want from the couple, besides distrubing them anyway? Surprising chapter, thanks for the shake-up. Where else would you find Dru though? Oh they'll find out soon enough. Giles reason is coming in a couple of chapters. They ran into Dru on the way to his office. Thank you! very good chappie, thank you. glad to see dru, always loved her ramblings. Had to get Dru in there somehow. Needed a good loony moment. Thank You! Lou 03/23/2007 11:15 pm An Unexpected Cryptic Message Nice to see Dru. Thank You! hmmm, curiouser and curiouser....very intriguing, looking forward to seeing what happens next :) Curious? Hmm, happy to see that you found this intriguing. Thank You! interesting interesting.... Can't want for the next update!!!! Great Chapter! Happy to see that it was interesting. Thank You! I enjoyed learning about what the Scoobies have been up to. And the meeting was interesting, somehow it kinda figures Xander would eat during a tense time like that. I know the adults are probably thinking they're protecting Dawn, but not inviting her to the meeting is really gonna tick her off. Good update! Happy you enjoyed. The meeting was long over due, but had to come at the right time. Xander eating, he he. He eats it seems when there's something tense going on, I do try to make the characters believable. The adults aren't really protecting Dawn,she knows what they want to do, well atleast she knows what Angel wants, she just doesn't think that Giles will go for it. It's not necessarily the meeting that upsets her. Thank You! I wouldn't want to have to ask for anything from Angel, let alone something as important as this for Buffy. I'm still suprised that Dawn hasn't said one thing about Spike in the last two weeks. She has to miss him a little after all that time. No one's forgotten about Anya, have they? Even Faith accepted the strong relationship that Buffy and Spike had. Glad when someone, anyone will put two and two together. Only five days before Spike comes back. He was in the amulet for ninteen days. Can't wait, thanks. Can't say as I blame you on the whole Angel thing. Dawn is still trying to get Buffy back, and hasn't really thought about Spike, that will change though. Xander's still pretty much torn up over Anya. He's just putting on a front. Faith can be perseptive at times. Someone will eventually get the memo. You never know Spike may come back. I'm not saying a word on that front. Thank You! things are looking bleak...i hope they manage to help them...but then, maybe they dont really want to be helped :P No, there's reason to my madness. Just hang in there and you'll see. Thank you! hummmmm Let me guess,, they get her there in time for Spike to "arrive"? Still not sure how i want this story to go!!!!! Ggggggrrrrrr!!! Great chapter though! Maybe, like I've said you never know what's going to happen until it happens in this story. I hope you enjoy where it does go. Thank you! All things considered Robin took the news reasonably well. Gotta say I'm a bit curious about the two new coma patients as well. Good update! Yeah, Robin knows if Giles can't get the higher ups to give in, then he doesn't have a snowballs chance, might as well just take it and do what he's told. Everyone wants to know about the two coma patients. Who knows what's going on there, they may not even be any use to the story. Thank You! i'm wondering about the two coma patients, myself...interesting update, looking forward to more ;) The two coma patients? he he;? smirk. Anyway who says they have anything to do with it? You never know. Thank You! Giles doesn'y have to be so upset about it though. If Woods is infatuated with her, then it's a good thing he's no longer on her case. Hope you do get another chapter out, you know it's a favorite of mine, thanks. Well not actually infatuation, she'd just been his patient since he'd gotten the job at the institution. Giles hated having to take her away from the doctor that knew more about her condition. Sorry I didn't get another chapter up Friday, but you know how it is when the damned phone won't quit ringing, and housework decides it has to be done. Thank You! bt_ 03/16/2007 09:38 pm Orders from Above wolf 116 - I'm really enjoying your story. Interesting to see them _both_ in the "real" world, with the otherst still in the Buffyverse. I like the episode they did this in in the show - cool concept. I have a teenytiny quibble - in the line "I guess that I’ll just have to except the orders" I think you mean "accept" instead. I'm just a word nerd... I can't believe I missed that! My fingers got ahead of my brain. Thank you for pointing that little typo out. I still can't believe it. I'm stickler for the spelling, and word thing myself. Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed getting Dawn's POV of the Buffy situation. It's a shame she feels she has put on an act in front of her friends... she and her sister are so alike in that aspect. Good update! I'm so happy that somebody got the whole Dawn/Buffy thing. Kudos! Thank You! No confusion, sweetie. I was wondering when Giles was going to give up and take her there, She needs to be there if Spike's to come out of the amulet at some point anyway, right? Surprised Dawn wasn't more upset when Andrew mentioned Spike. Great chapter, thanks. God Giles really doesn't want her in the pit of hell. But she does need medical attention. As for the whole Spike thing, not talking about it. Dawn was so torn up over Buffy being comatose that she didn't register Andrew much at all. At least that's what I was trying to convey. But just wait.. And that's all I'm saying. Thank You! clarityfades 03/15/2007 11:57 am Bedside Vigil i'd never throw anything at you...maybe gently lob, but not throw. i'm liking the buildup...but i can't wait for the main event! LoL! I'd really rather not have throwing or lobbing, but I guess it being gently lobbed wouldn't be so bad. I'm glad you like the buildup, but just wait for the main event, it's going to be a whopper. Thank You! still looking forward to seeing the payoff, love..very nice chapter :) The pay off will be in a few chapters. Just not in the way that everyone is expecting. At least I don't think so. Thank you! very interesting, love...looking forward to seeing what happens next :) Thank you! I hope you enjoy what happens next. easy to understand why red cannot reach buffy. she likes were she is, or at, least, who is with her. very good read, thank you Not necessarily that, more along the lines that Buffy has no idea that Willow is even trying to get her out of the coma. She doesn't even know that she's in a coma in L.A. hell she doesn't even know she's in L.A. or at least not in the L.A. that has all the vamps and demons. Thank You! Lou 03/10/2007 07:48 pm Chocolate and Coffee Actually, the English gentleman is famous for having something up his arse! LOL! But Spike never was one of those stick up the arse types. William was, but Spike wasn't. Thank You! Loved the chapter! I was really starting to miss Spike and Buffy, I'm glad we got a chance to see what they're up to. Can't wait to read more! :) Thank You! I missed the blonde duo too. They really weren't up to much, but that'll change in a few chapters. Thank You, Again. I was wondering when you were going back there. A bit surprised that in the month that they've been there, they've not had sex, though. I can understand why but she still has her memories as well, there is no one standing in their way and Spike will always do what's in her best interest. Thanks, great read. Oh yes those nice little memories that she would love to act on, but can't. I understand what you're getting at, but the sex will come, I promise. Thank You! I am so torn on this one. I LIKE the slawer/vampire world,, but in this world they are together... Not sure yet where your going to go with this,, which world is real or maybe they both are? But I really hope they end up together and happy in the end,, I know i know sappy and I have read a few stories out there that dont end well for our favorite blonds, I just really hope this isnt one of them.... But i am hooked now I will continue reading even if thats where you go with it! :) I'm happy you're hooked, those words made my day. You should be finding out soon where this is all gonna lead. Thank you! clarityfades 03/09/2007 11:05 pm Chocolate and Coffee don't worry...i'll hang as long as i have to. i love this story, and i'm glad to see spuffy again. I'm glad you still love the story. I was happy for some more Spuffy too. Thank you! lol...yeah, i love lorne :) thanx for another great chapter, love :) I love Lorne too. Thank you! Loved the Xander/Lorne interaction, their first remarks to each other were so funny. :D Great chapter! The Great Pumpkin. God I loved that line. I thought having those two together would be a hoot. I needed some comedy yesterday, and this is how I got it. Thank You! That was definately a fun chapter with Xander and Loren. Your Xander reminds me of the Xander we all fell in love with during S1. Loren is always a blast. Eagerly awaiting your next chapter, thanks. I love Lorne, and I needed some comedy. My Xander will always be the funny one from season 1&2. That's when I actually liked the character. The next chapter should be up today or tomorrow. At least that's what I'm hoping for. Thank You! clarityfades 03/09/2007 12:20 am Confusion although not heavy on forwarding the plot...i liked this chappie. let everyone meet lorne, have a little comic relief, and bask...ok, i'm basked. please, please give us more soon! I just thought it would be fun. I love Lorne, and thought that the character should've been used more frequently in the show. I hope to have another chapter up later today or tomorrow. Thank You! I hope someone realizes that it's not the loss of the town, but the loss of Spike that has Buffy missing her spirit. Loved the conversation Willow, Angel and Lorne had about singing. :lol: Wonderful chapter! Well if I told you what was going to happen the story wouldn't be as good any longer. Let's just say that there's a few people on the right track, but they aren't exactly there yet. It's more of a something that someone shouldn't have done thing that's really going on. And that's the only clue I will give as to what's actually going on. Thank You! loved red's rant and lorne reinforcing her opinion that angel does have a clue. very good read, thank you. Ranty Willow. It just wouldn't be Will's if she didn't get ranty every once in a while. Angel's probably one of the most clueless people in this story, but all will be revealed, and he's not going to be happy about it. Thank You! What he saw is true to the story, just wished that Dawn would let them know who it was that took her spirit away when he died. We all know that Angel will just try and blame Spike even though he's not there, but it would piss him off and that's always is a good thing. Looking out for The Dance tomorrow. Excellent chapter, thanks. Well Dawn's not sure what's actually going on. She just knows that Willow did the mind walk thing. Other than that she doesn't even know what to think of the whole situation. Oh and you're on the track to figuring the mystery out. Just not quite there yet. Well right now Angel's still thinking that Buffy's still in love with him, and Spike's not even a factor. Glad you're looking out for the new chapter of The Dance. I still have to fine tune. But it should be up shortly. Thank You! Lou 03/06/2007 07:56 pm Where the Spirit is Great chapter. Lorne's reading was spot on -- way more perceptive than Willow ever was. Angel was a gas! Thank You! Lorne's reading what he can, just from what he could see when Will's was singing, but he doesn't have a clue as to what's going with Buffy. Yeah, he is more perceptive than Willow ever was. Angel is still on the wavelength that Buffy is still in love with him, so Spike's not even on his radar as a reason. And Lorne has no idea other than Spike died saving the world. Thank You! of course she wants to stay where she is, where she is she has spike..but i'm wondering if they didn't somehow end up in another dimension or something .. hm... great chapter, love :) He He, did you get submit button happy? Thank You. of course she wants to stay where she is, where she is she has spike..but i'm wondering if they didn't somehow end up in another dimension or something .. hm... great chapter, love :) Refer to above response. of course she wants to stay where she is, where she is she has spike..but i'm wondering if they didn't somehow end up in another dimension or something .. hm... great chapter, love :) Weeellll! Dimension maybe, something's more likely. Just remember it's something that someone shouldn't have done. And that's the only clue that I'm giving out. Thank You. *snerk* I can't wait to read more. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to get by to dilusion-land. Jace Back to delusion-land. I like that. It won't be too long now that we're back into the land of confusion. Just a few more chapters, but that doesn't mean that we'll be staying there very long. Thank You! I have been waiting and waiting to read this story,, I was hoping to wait until it was finished so i could read it all at once and not have to wait for chapters LOL I know pretty selfish of me :( sorry... But I just couldn't wait any longer and then i got sucked in and didn't review like i should have. I LOVE this story, I am waiting on pins and needles to find out what will happen next! I can't tell if her and Spike are in a alternate dimension or just some kind of mind melt or if maybe its a spell or what but a big part of me hopes that whatever it is, they will beable to be together there and finally be happy. I know it sounds cold but if the "reality" is really the near miss end of the world and Spike dying maybe its for the better if they stay where they are together. Not selfish, I do the same thing, then I can't stand it anymore and have to read it. I'm happy to see that you decided to start reading, cause it'll be quite a few more chapters. There are over sixty in it, so you'd be waiting for awhile for me to finish it. OMG! LMAO! Never in a milloin years would of thought to have her sing that. Never! That was hilarious! Absolutely fabulous. Looking forward to the reading. Thanks for the laughs, I'm still giggling, that was great. I had to do it. Seemed like something Willow would sing, it was between the Oscar Mayer song, and that one. It was kinda like a coin toss. Thank You! Glad I made someone laugh. poor lorne. very good read, thank you. terrible place to stop. I bet he wishes that he didn't have ears at the moment. Thank You! Sorry, the next chapter is pretty much what Lorne seen though. clarityfades 03/03/2007 12:12 am It ain't Easy Being Green sneaky, very sneaky...letting us see willow sing but not the results of lorne's reading. hmm, and what's goin' on w/ buffy right now? will spike come back before they get buffy back? can't wait to read more! Yep, I'm very sneaky. But Lorne's reading takes up a whole new chapter. We'll eventually get back to B/S. I'm not gonna answer that question, for fear of ruining the rest of the story. Thank You! That was an interesting choice of a song. :lol: Can't wait to find out what Lorne learned. Great chapter! Oh yes I had to use some silly song, cause you'd just think of Willow choosing something like that. I hope that you'll be surprised at Lorne found out. Thank You! Lou 03/02/2007 08:25 pm It ain't Easy Being Green Happy memories of the opera performance! Except it was screechy, and out of tune. Thank You! hmmm...interesting..can't wait to see what he found out :) Oh you may be surprised. Thank you, I'm still trying to get caught up witb your story. fun read,thank you. don't throw the keyboard out the windows, save that as a last resort. try gentler methods first. Thank you! I was talking about the whole darned computer. I've had more trouble in the last year with this machine, than I care to admit. Thank you! Poor Willow, even in the musical she didn't sing much... her interaction with Lorne should be fun. I loved the reaction Angel's innocent remark got from the Scoobies, especially Giles. :) Great chapter! Singing Willow, oh my ears. Oh not so much fun for Willow but way fun for us. I loved that 'innocent' remark. And had to have Angel speak it. Thank you! dj 03/01/2007 03:26 pm What to do spike kinda thing, loving it Well sort of. Thank you! What a great idea, Loren! He'll be able to read both of them, can Angel find out about Spike now??? Please let it be soon, I can't wait for him to know, but you must know that by now. Just love this, thanks. Angel will find out about Spike all in due time. How could I not use Lorne? I had to have a reason to bring him in on the fun. Lou 03/01/2007 01:51 am What to do Willow could always do a duet with Angel. Hair raising! UGG! My stomach and my ears. Thank You! oh goodie...i love lorne, he's one of my favorites, can't wait to see what happens when he shows up...and the joke about willow singing, lol, great chapter, love :) I like Lorne Too. Thank You! clarityfades 02/28/2007 11:14 pm What to do loved willow's reaction to having to sing for lorne! and the "willow inside buffy" remark was great. excellent chapter, can't wait to see what lorne learns when he reads willow. I loved that Willow inside Buffy joke so damned much, that I had to make Angel say it. Thank You! Lou 03/01/2007 01:46 am All Dark Cool! Thank You! good read, thank you. many questions, need more. soon,please. Thank You. Hope all your questions will be answered. The next chapter will be up shortly. Thanks. I guess Buffy's defenses must be really high if Willow came up against such a strong wall of resistance... or I suppose it could be something more sinister. Can't wait to find out what happens next. Great chapter! Actually, it's more of an outside type thing. And that's all I'm saying. Nothing sinister, just something that someone shouldn't have done. Thanks. hmmmm...wonder what they'll do now, since that didn't go as well as they hoped...hope they can get them back soon, and okay :) He! He! You never know what I've got up my sleeve, and I'm not telling. Thanks. Wow, very surprised. Buffy's closed off her mind which is so much more dramatic then what she went through with Dawn, which speaks volumes to her love for him. Guess we all will have to wait for Angel to find out about Spike. Can't remember, did she say Spike's name before she past out or are they clueless? That was an excellent chapter even if it wasn't what you had in your mind. Thanks. Yep, guess no one seen this one a coming. Oh yes, but it's not exactly like what happened with Dawn. Angel will probably fly off the handle, but oh well. She didn't say anything before she ate the dirt. I had to struggle with how to explain what was happening, and I still don't think I did it justice. But Thank You. clarityfades 02/23/2007 11:23 pm All Dark don't worry, the chapter totally makes sense and works just the way it is. hmm, wonder if anyone CAN break the barrier in buffy's mind? another good chappie, can't wait to read more. Oh I know it made sense. It just wouldn't come out the way I really wanted to convey. Break the barrier? Hmm! There's a reason why it's there, but I'm not saying. Thank you! angel's prank on xander, hehe...neither is one of my favorite characters, but at least angel could bring himself to show respect for what spike did..sort of...good chapter :) Can't say that I like either of those characters either. But I couldn't pass up the whole Xander getting dumped off of the couch. I needed some laughter. Hell Angel better show some respect. He needed to do that in the freaking T.V. show, but of course they couldn't have the big hero giving props to the actual hero, now could they? Thank You! Loved the Angel/Xander interaction. Can't wait to find out how Willow's spell goes. Great chapter! Those two never really did get along. It was a hate/hate relationship so there's alway that animosity there. Will's spell is on everyone's minds. You guys are just gonna have to wait and see what happens. Thank You! Loved it! Great line about Spike not being as moody as the poof. Loved that they all gave him their repect at his sacrifice. Waiting for Angel to learn of her love for Spike. Can't help it, just love knowing this is going to cause him more pain. Angel has to know somethings hinky, he didn't feel him dust. Fantastic chapter, thanks. Couldn't pass that line up. Any way it's the truth. Even with a soul Spike isn't as moody. The guy gave his life for them, they need to show a little respect. Angel in pain, don't you just love it. The whole feeling him, not really going on the whole childe/sire bond with these two, cause in truth Angel wasn't his sire, and ugh! Just the thought wigs me to know end. Thank you! If Willow shows up at the asylum, they are not going to believe her. You'll just have to wait and see what happens. HE! HE! Thank You! angel is an idiot. very good read, thank you. I so have to agree. Thank you. hmmm.....can't wait to see what they find out...and faith and angel should hook up, just IMHO :) Believe me, what they find isn't what they expect. Angel and Faith? Why would I want to put her through that misery? Thank you. Nice guy! He didn't even offer to help the more seriously wounded, like Woods. Not that he's got a hospital facility right there or anything! He must wonder what happened to Spike since he wasn't there. Never thought about it before but did he had to still feel Spike after he burned because his essence was still here. No problem, Angel has to suffer some before he learns her true feelings. Is Willow going to meet herself while she's there? This is going to be great! Thanks, great chapter. Angel's an ass. Oh well, you can take the vamp out of Sunnyhell.... Angel really does need to suffer, but you know. thank you. clarityfades 02/17/2007 01:30 am How to Tell a Vamp that His Girl is in a Coma angel is sooo dramatic, ha! i'm loving this story, good faith characterization. can't wait til they try to get buffy back, i hope it doesn't happen. hopefully, only spike can get her back. serve everyone else right! can't wait to read more, keep up the great work! Thsnk you. You'll just have to wait and see what and how Buffy returns, or if she does. Lou 02/17/2007 01:05 am How to Tell a Vamp that His Girl is in a Coma Angel panicking? There's a picture! He He! I know I couldn't resist that little bit of OOCness. good read, thank you. can see many conflicts coming soon. Oh yes many conflicts. Thank you. oh this should get interesting when they get there...can't wait to see what happens there, and perhaps they'll find some answers.. Maybe, you never know. Thank you. Interesting chapter, I can't wait to find out what happens when the Scoobies get to Wolfram and Hart. Good update! Oh the Scoobies at the law firm. Could be interesting. What with all those little slayers, and all the demons that will be lurking around. Thanks Yup, format's fixed. Giles is going to have a cow when he finds out where they went. Doubt if he'll allow them to go very near to W&H, let alone leave Buffy there. So excited love this. Happy V-Day, thanks. Giles hasn't really got a choice in the matter though, they need help and the only place they have is the hotel. Thank you. clarityfades 02/15/2007 12:01 am The Waste Land another good travelling chapter. hmm, the confrontation between faith and angel over his new address. and how is angel going to react when he realizes WHY buffy's catatonic? can't wait to find out! HE HE! Angel isn't going to like much if anything when he finds out exactly what's happened. Lou 02/14/2007 08:33 pm The Waste Land I can't help thinking Buffy and Spike will be better off staying where they are! Well maybe, but you never know. Thanks I enjoyed Faith's conversation with Robin, I love how insightful she is. Good update! Cool. Glad you enjoyed Faith. I was worried about how her character would come across, so far everyone has enjoyed it. Hopefully I can stick with it and keep her in character. Well the season 7 version of her anyway. Just made it seam like a longer chapter, is all! Really glad that Faith put it out there. Guess they all had some idea but don't think any of them wanted to admit it. So this has all been in her mind. Should of figured but still tring to figure out how Spikes there? Well now, Guess Angel's going to find out that Spike, not he, is the one she's in love with. Can't wait for that to happen. But they aren't they're anymore, they're at W&H!. Looking forward to more, thanks for the great update. Well that's what everyone on the bus thinks but the answer will be coming as to exactly what happened. Hopefully chapter 23 will answer at least one of your points. Thanks. clarityfades 02/13/2007 01:01 am L.A. Traffic don't worry, the chapter was totally readable...and re-readable. i'm liking this insight in the other side. hmm, will angel and AI even be at the hotel? and if not, will the scoobies take it over? i hope so!can't wait to read more! Hopefully Chapter 23 will answer your questions. Thanks Lou 02/13/2007 12:46 am L.A. Traffic A suitably fraught arrival in LA. HE! HE! I could just see Giles getting fed up and throwing around British slang. Couldn't get it out of my head so I had to write the chapter. like this chapter from faith's pov...very interesting to see her perspective...and can't wait to see what happens next :) Thank you so much. I hope you continue enjoying the story. Formatting was fine. I'm still thinking "huh?" now that we're back to the bus. Like your Faith characterization. There is reason I promise. Thank you for the compliment on Faith. Interesting new developments. Can't wait to find out what happens next. Great chapter! Thank you. I'm a little lost, but have faith that you'll enlighten me in the next chapter or two--so I'm not fussed about it. If you could kill off Kennedy, that would be great, too. It may take a little more than a chapter or two, but the answers will come. Sorry but the killing of Kennedy didn't come up in the writing, although I wish I'd have come up with a way to do it. I can't stand her. clarityfades 02/08/2007 06:31 am Fallen Warrior at the Crater honestly, didn't expect this EXACTLY...but i did think of them going to angel's for help. simply because they have no where else to go. and it was well worth the 3 hours, wonderful job. can't wait to see angel's expression, loved xander and willow sharing their grief and the start of kennedy's smackdown (the verbal part anyway), still hoping she'll get physically beatdown. can't wait for whatever comes next. Kennedy has it coming, not so much the physical smackdown, but you'll see. I can't stand the little so and so. Very well worth it. You needed at some point to start at the beginning. Great portrayal of Kennedy and Xander. He'd lost so much, he can't lose anyone else. Now Willow will understand her feelings foe Spike and when he pops out of the amulet they can be together like they're supposed to be, the poof be damned. Until then they have this alternate universe. Excellent work 116, thanks. Yep, but there's a reason why I went back so soon. Will's can be insightful sometimes. Oh believe me the poof will be damned. Thanks. eventually, i figured this sort of thing would be goin on, from the beginning of the fic...but not so soon...loved it...looking forwad to more :) There is a good reason as to why this part of the fic comes in now. But you'll just have to wait to see what it is. hmmmm...wonder what's happened here exactly....can't wait to see what direction you're going to take this in...love spike's behavior during the appointment :P I think everyone's wondering what's going on. Poor Spike. :( He finally got to see for himself, it's about time. Poor Spike, keeping his mouth closed was one of the hardest things for him to do. So Buffy's starting to figure this out,so what, this is her delusion alone and not Spike's as well? Very interested to know just what you have up your sleeve. Great chapter, thanks. God I felt so bad for Spike. Shutting up on his own, must've been really hard. I have lots up my sleeve. That was an interesting session. I was a bit surprised Buffy didn't know Robin was her doctor, but I guess Buffy was too disorientated to notice him in the room when she woke up in this world. Great chapter! Remember the only person she even reconized in the first few chapters was Spike. So yeah, you got that one right. Thanks now i know it is all a delusion, when buffy "...was slowly coming to understand it, she just wasn't fitting those pieces together to make a whole out of the puzzle. But she would." buffy? great read, thank you. What a surprise this thing is going to give everyone. Yes Buffy. Thank you. anya has a two track mind. fun read, thank you. Yes she does. Sex and Money. He He! Thank you. oh i love anya....you write her so well...love buffy's line about "if she says anything about money"...lol...excellent chapter, looking forward to more :) Thank You! I couldn't resist Buffy's line, it came to me way before I wrote the chapter. Thank you. Yup, the same Anya. At least she had good taste when it came to Spike. Thanks for the update, fun chapter. God she's so fun to write. Well if you had Spike standing in front of you wouldn't you be checking out the assets? Anya is definitely a fun character to have around... lol! Loved Buffy's remark about having to hug Anya. Wonderful chapter! I love The character of Anya, Just the way she acts makes her a fun character to write. Buffy having to hug Anya, thought that would be a funny thing to happen. Thank You! awww...this story is just so sweet...love the tenderness and teasing between them, very well done ;) Thank you very much. It just wouldn't be right if they weren't teasing each other. Domestic bliss! She was right about how she felt during S6 and how she treated him. Now she can make up for all that pain. Thanks for updating again so soon. Wonderful chapter. Spike domestic, how funny. Season six just pissed me off. She needed to own up to what she'd done to him. You're welcome. Thank you for yet another review. I read all the story so far tonight and find myself intrigued with this odd hospital and the introduction of familiar characters. I have many questions, and am hoping to see answers in due time. Thank you, I was inrrigued so much by the thought of the story I wrote most of it on my beach vacation,which really didn't go over well with my husband. It was one of those ideas that just wouldn't go away. All questions will be answered in due time. aww....i like this....i feel such a sympathy for them, in this very sad sort of place, but still happy together...excellent work :) Thank you, so much. I feel sympathy cause they have to live in a snot green room. At least they aren't on the really psycotic floor. Mostly they're just happy that they're together, and they hate having to be in this place. Ewww... snot colored walls, gross!But I guess as long as Spike comes with the room who cares! ;)Loved the playful Spuffyness, and the kissage at the end of the chapter! Great update! You know hospitals are always decorated with the worst colors, so snot green was an appropriate color to chose. I believe I could stand any color of room if Spike were sitting in it. Kissage, AHH! finally some snogging. Fore play is a must! Slutty nurse! Glad Buffy "stalked" her claim to him. Spike having to remember to breath was a giggle. Thank you for updating this so soon again, hopefully five days a week, as you wanted. Definately put the beds together, give them more room. Great chapter. Sex wouldn't be any good without the foreplay. Nurse is just as horny as the two patients. Stalked? He He. If computer problems would quit with being annoying, I wouldn't have so much trouble with updating. Thanks for the review. very happy to read an update of this interesting tale. thanks for the enjoyable read. You're welcome, thank you for reviewing. You've updated this wonderful fic, thank you. Looks like there won't be a closet for them after all! Janey not Jenny? OK. Can't wait for more updates, missed this happy to have it back. you're welcome. You never know there may be a closet. Well it was similar to Jenny, and I wasn't to fond of Jenny La Robia as her name. I hope to be able to update at least 5 times a week, but you never know. I love that the hospital is allowing Spike and Buffy to be roomates, this new development is full of interesting possibilities. Great chapter, and welcome back! :) There really isn't any reason to keep them apart, they always wind up back together. Oh the possiblities!! Thank you for the welcome back. oh, i like this version of jenny, and i'm so glad they gave them a room together...it's really sweet to thing of them wandering the halls in the middle of the night, making their way to each other...but it's better that they wont have to :) great job :) Wait 'til you see what's coming. I guarantee no one's expecting what is going to happen. Glad you're still reading, hope the rest is as alluring as the first few chapters. Robyn 08/01/2006 07:45 am The Whelp in all His Glory Spike's jealousy over Alex was really quite funny. I love how his and Buffy's reactions to things are stilled based on their 'delusional' world. I have really enjoyed catching up on this story and am looking forward to the next update. Robyn, I love you. You review every chapter. And always leave nice ones too. Spike's jealousy stems from Sunnydale, he's just reflecting it onto this version of the whelp. i wonder where dawn, andrew and faith are? wouldnt it be funny if they were like a family or something.. Uh, well! They will turn up, just not the way that everyone's thinking. Nikkole 07/25/2006 01:44 pm The Whelp in all His Glory I am still not sure about what is going on here. I am still leaning towards a holding cell. IT imakes the most sence to me. UNLESS, you are a 4400 fan and they are in Buffy's mind to create a stronger bond....that would be cool! Hope you update again soon! Oh just wait, a few more chapters and you'll have the answer to what is going on. Irina 07/25/2006 07:49 am The Whelp in all His Glory Whoa! Xander... I mean Alex was incredibly rude, figures it would be hate at first sight between Spike and Alex. I liked how affectionate Buffy was with Spike in front of Alex. Loved the chapter! Rude, gross, and funny. Hate at first sight, I just love that summation. I love the way your wrote Xander. I could vividly picture him with food hanging out of his mouth. Lmao, it was gross yet funny. your description of xander was so totally gross..very well done...another great chapter and cant wait for more :) Yep that was totally gross.. It made me sick trying to write it. Verda 07/24/2006 11:57 pm The Whelp in all His Glory This is torture you know! At this rate it's gonna take five or six chapters more to meet everyone, if not more. Good to see that you're writing Xander the same clueless dork, with bad table manners. And talk about clueless, so in the dark here have no idea where this is going, hopefully to some Spuffyness soon. Great job! Five or Six? Poor old Xander, don't you just feel for him though? No idea, I don't think anyone has any idea of where this is going, except for the girl who's writing it. ewwww xander.... Yep, but was that not the way Xander would be? Robyn 08/01/2006 07:35 am You're a Pig Tara really did get it right, Buffy and Spike do belong together. Oh yes they do. Tara always was a perceptive little woman. Nikkole 07/24/2006 02:42 pm You're a Pig Very good chapter. It bugs me that she keeps calling him "Spikey", that just reminds me to much of Harmony...BLECH! Keep up the good work, and hope to see more from you soon. Oh, she's only doing the Spikey thing because she knows it gets on his nerves. Irina 07/24/2006 12:02 pm You're a Pig *shudders* Talk about a scary mental image, I don't blame Buffy one bit for being creeped out by the thought of Spike's mom and Quentin sleeping together. Loved Spike and Buffy's bantering in front of Tara. Good update! Eww! Quentin all sweaty and UGH! I can't even go there. vladt 07/24/2006 07:38 am You're a Pig fun update, thanks Thank you i love tara...very good update, should be an interesting meal coming up here...can't wait for more :) I loved Tara too.Interesting isn't the half of it. Verda 07/23/2006 08:38 pm You're a Pig Wes is his cousin, but Quentin is still a jerk. Yup, Tara's going to have to get used to these two since she will definately going to be friends. Very curious as to where this is going. Great read. Thanks. I truly couldn't say that Wes was his brother, and stick as close to cannon as possible. Quentin is a big ol' jerk. Tara has a feeling about these two. That's why she likes them so much. This is going all over the place. Robyn 08/01/2006 07:29 am Meet the So-Called Family Quentin as Spike's father, you are beyond evil. :) I loved Anne's summation of why things went they way they did for Buffy and Spike. EVIL!! I am EVILLLL!!!!!HA HA HA HA!!! Anne was a really nice character to right. In the show,before Spike turned her she seemed to be a level headed woman. So I just wrote her like I saw the character would be if she were actually in the show. vladt 07/24/2006 07:34 am Meet the So-Called Family seriously weird family is right. very good read, thanks. HE! HE!. Thank You pfft. I guessed You guessed?HMM,maybe I wasn't so sneaky after all. Verda 07/23/2006 08:16 pm Meet the So-Called Family No way! Travers' his father? That a big world of eeewwwwwww! And what stick does he have up his but? who's Wes to him? at least he has his real mom to help ease his mind here. Really wondering what all you have in mind for this story and Angel and his crew. Love how Buffy stood up to Quentin. another great read. LOL! Travers. YUCK! Travers' always had a big ol' stick up his arse. Wes is Spike's cousin. Had to stick with Anne, she was a good character. If you try and guess what's actually going on, you'll have brain melt down. Oh Angel's crew will be coming up shortly. Buffy always did despise the man, it's no different here. Thank you Nikkole 07/22/2006 03:02 am Meet the So-Called Family Nope, I had no clue that was who you had planned to be his family. It makes me question the whole thing even more. So far, everyone has been in roles that were very close to what we would have seen them in on the show, Quentin is completly out of place, so much so that it makes me believe that Buffy and Spike have been PUT into another dimension or something like that. We have not seen the LA crew as of yet......HMMMMMMMM..... Can't wait for more!! Quentin was British, and the only other English guy other than Giles that would be old enough to be his father. Although he was acting a whole lot like himself. A big, ole pompous ass. We have seen Wesley, so that's at least one of the LA crew that has been seen. Also Cordy was mentioned in the first chapter. I'll give you a clue though. everyone that has been mentioned so far has a connection, with the exception of a few people. The puzzle is what is the connection? Here's the people with the connection. Cordy,Buffy,Spike,Tara,Anya,Amanda,Wes,Quentin,Joyce,and Anne. That's the list so far. These are the only ones that have been mentioned. Can you figure it out? hmmm....very intriguing...i think i may be starting to piece it together, but knowing you probably not :) i bet you'll surprise me again yet :) Oh ho, you might,but then again. There's a big twist coming up. I'm pretty sure that you'll be a little surprised by it. Irina 07/22/2006 02:06 am Meet the So-Called Family I just love Spike's mother Anne. I'm so glad she's his mother in this reality too, it really makes up for the fact that stuffy Quentin is his dad. Loved the chapter! :) I'm tyring to stick to the whole mother thing, cause I loved both Joyce and Anne. Then the whole Quentin thing was just he's British, and also quite a surprise to everyone. I couldn't use Giles cause that's been done to death, Wesley sooo wouldn't fit, considering that he's almost as young as Spike would be. Lou 07/21/2006 08:23 pm Meet the So-Called Family Imagine having a cold fish like Quentin for a dad! All slimy, rotted, and smelly? God, I think I'd go into a coma too. Robyn 08/01/2006 07:22 am Apprehension Due to Family I loved Spike's reaction to Buffy calling herself his girlfriend and her teasing him when he wanted her to repeat it. It just seemed like a completely Spikey reaction. vladt 07/24/2006 07:27 am Apprehension Due to Family fun read, thanks. can't wait to meet spike's family. Thank you. Spike's family HE! HE! Nikkole 07/21/2006 05:01 pm Apprehension Due to Family I like this story very much. I think Angle has them in one of his alternate dimension rooms at WR&H. It would be just like him, the big loser. The only thing I am having trouble with is the POV of the story. I like it alot, but it is kind of confusing to read sometimes. BUT, the idea of the whole thing is AWESOME! I can't wait for the next update! Thank you. You know that a.u. thing is a pretty good idea, but not so much that as a whole lot of things. POV? Usually if it changes I try and put these **** in between changes. And thank you again. I like AWESOME. Update should be up within the next couple of hours. Verda 07/21/2006 08:53 am Apprehension Due to Family Oh oh, he's got family! holy crap that means Darla Angel and...Dru. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Is Dru still crazy and is Angel "Mr Broody I'm so tortured guy"? This is going to be SLAMMIN'. Update soon K? Sooo excited. HE HE! I'm evil, and you'll just have to wait and see who his family turns out to be. Not so much SLAMMIN' as disastrous. Update should be up soon. awww....that was really sweet and romantic...love supportive buffy :) can't wait for more :) Like I said I could write that stuff all day long, but the story would really be boring if I done that. Irina 07/21/2006 01:53 am Apprehension Due to Family I loved how playful Buffy was in this chapter. And I really enjoyed Spike and Buffy's talk. Since he doesn't have any idea who his family is, I don't blame Spike one bit for being nervous about meeting them. I hope the reunion goes well. Wonderful update! Playful Buffy, kinda new territory for her, huh? Nervous! He's terrified of the whole thing. Has no clue what's in store for him. Not so much a reunion, as a disaster. Christine 07/20/2006 11:53 pm Apprehension Due to Family I like! Who will spike's family be, though!? The suspense is killing me... Spike's family comes in tommorrows update. Just hold on for a little while. Lou 07/20/2006 07:17 pm Apprehension Due to Family Nice update. I'm a little surprised Buffy is so sure Sunnydale was a delusion - seven years versus three days? Well she'd rather believe that Suunydale's a delusion, than be there without Spike. Robyn 08/01/2006 07:16 am Mommy Dearest Buffy letting Spike know that she loved him and then ranting about his reaction to her statement was great, and I loved Buffy's reaction when her mom suggested that Spike might not be good enough for her. She should've said it a looooooonnnngggg time ago. vladt 07/23/2006 04:24 am Mommy Dearest great update, thank you. love pragmatic joyce. even if she is just going with what is best for her daughter, she always had a soft spot for spike. Oh, yes Joyce always did have a big soft spot for Spike. And she does believe that Spike could help Buffy, but little does she know what's to come. Irina 07/20/2006 02:07 am Mommy Dearest Wow! That was an explosive first meeting between Buffy and her Mom. I do get where Joyce is coming from, but i'm glad her opinion changed when she saw Spike and Buffy interacting with each other. Things should get even more interesting when Spike's family turns up and meets Buffy. Fantastic chapter! Oh yeah! Explosive and inciteful at least I hope it was. Just remember that Joyce trusted him more than any one else ever did. Spike's family, HE HE! I'm sorry, everytime I think about it I can't help but laugh. Thank you for reviewing. Verda 07/20/2006 12:38 am Mommy Dearest Now what's Spike going to do when Buffy leaves? Want work did he do before the coma and where is he suppose to live? Summer's basement, like always? Good to see that Joyce recognizes Spike as being important to her daughter. At least here, there's only a few years difference in their ages. Oooo, can't wait for the story to unfold from here. Very excited. Thanks for the read. I'm evil. Would I break our favorite couple up? Spike work? OOOkay. If he needs somewhere to live my house is good place. Joyce always did see something in Spike, heck she liked him a whole lot more that Hair-gel. UMMM! I mean Angel. Age Shmage, Spike's hot and Buffy's not blind, plus he's the only person that knows anything about what she's been through. You just wait and you'll see the answers to all your questions. It all works out is all I'm aloud to say, or the whole story will be told with just one little sentence. Thank you for reviewing, I hope that the rest lives up to expectations. very excellent chapter, very much enjoyed it :) Thank you very much. Lou 07/19/2006 08:11 pm Mommy Dearest I thought Joyce was surprisingly cool about things. Nice one. Joyce is thinking Spike will be a means to an end. What little does she know of what's to come. Thank you. margaret 07/19/2006 07:49 pm Mommy Dearest lovely chapter. glad joyce is accepting spike. can't wait to see who else will show up...does spike have family in this reality? thanks for the regular updates Joyce accepts him, only because she thinks if Buffy is with him that she'll get better faster. Spike's family, he he. Just wait and see. You're welcome, and thank you for reviewing. Robyn 08/01/2006 07:07 am Hooked on a Feeling I love Buffy remembering that she is a virgin and Spike's reaction to it. LOL, actually I'm LMAO. vladt 07/19/2006 06:40 am Hooked on a Feeling great update. going from contemplating "doing that in the middle of the hall," to remembering she is a virgin. that is hilarious. thanks for the fun read. Yep, that's quite funny after all of that, she ends up remembering that she hasn't had any ever. Then Spike being Spike he just can't let that little piece of info go. You're welcome, and thanks for the fun review. bad spike... no embarrassing the virgin But that's what he does, or keeps at it until he gets what he wants. that was actually quite sweet and hot at the same time...so...is it actually a delusion? i'm dying to know the secret....cant wait for more :) So love the sweet and hot scenes. I could write those all day long, but it wouldn't make for much of a story. As for the delusion question. Do you want me to ruin the whole story for everyone? The secret of it all will be revealed, then when move on to yet another mystery. I'm evil. But that hoppy little bunny just keeps me a writing. Irina 07/19/2006 12:23 am Hooked on a Feeling Wow! What an interesting new development. Loved the sweet Spuffy goodness in this chapter. Now that we've learned something about Buffy's past i'm really curious about Spike's. Wonderful update! :) Oh yeah, the whole Buffy revelation, good stuff. Had to have the fluffy Spuffy. Just wait for what's going on in Spikes life. Lou 07/18/2006 11:03 pm Hooked on a Feeling Well if that's a taste of what's to come, I say bring it on! Oh there's alot more to bring on. And that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. Verda 07/18/2006 09:49 pm Hooked on a Feeling Still not evil, you did give us a crumb, but now that we know that she's a virgin here, neither Spike nor I will give up that easily. Betcha Tara and Willow can arrange something. They know true love when they see it! *squishes* Still lovin this fic. Oh I don't know, it'll be awhile before the actual deed is done. Tara and Willow could probably arrange something, but do you see Buffy asking them if she can borrow a broom closet so she can lose her virginity? That would probably be quite hilarious though. I'm glad to see that you're still lovin' the fic. IJ_nikara 09/12/2007 07:46 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? why isn't there a chapter ten? nmcil 03/27/2007 02:24 pm Father Figure Turned Doctor? you did a very good depiction of Giles season two - just started your story - liking it very much- Thank You! I hope you enjoy the rest also. Jessica 02/02/2007 09:31 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? Some of this seems kinda familiar, but not all of it. I love what you have so far though. Looking forward to more. Familiar maybe, I did have it up at B/S Central before it went down. So if you were on there you may have read part of it. Thanks for the review. I'm happy to see that you like it. 12/07/2006 12:34 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? AHEM!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL I WAS JUST GETTIN INTO THAT STORY EVEN THOUGHIT'S NEARY 1:00 IN THE THE MORNING AND I *NEED* TO READ THE REST SO PLEASE PLEASE WRITE THE REST!!! :) 1:00 in the morning?! Here's more for your perusal. Thanks for the review. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:55 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? I love how well you are doing everyone's character, and how perfect Buffy's reaction was to seeing Giles and then being pushed for answers from him. Thank you for the comment on the characters, I try very hard to make them seem right. Catrine 07/18/2006 11:00 pm Father Figure Turned Doctor? Quite an unusual story,and I mean it in a good way. I`m curious of what will happen next. It gets even more unusual the farther we go. Glad to see that you are curious, and hopefully enjoying. *smacks Giles* wanker Why are you smacking the poor guy? He's just a might bit curious. Irina 07/18/2006 07:06 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? You did a fine job with your characterization of Giles. I'm glad this first meeting with Giles went so well. I enjoyed Buffy's lighthearted teasing of Giles and Spike in this chapter. Great update! Thank you. Okay, the whole meeting was used as an ice breaker, plus Giles was supposed to remind Buffy of the watcher that she first met Not the one that tried to kill Spike. Buffy used to be like that with Giles when they first met, so you know. Opal 07/18/2006 05:43 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? Great updates (just read them all). Looking forward to see what happens next. Goodness, that's quiet a few chappy's. I'm glad that you're still enjoying this. maragret 07/18/2006 04:56 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? hey, just read the reviews and responses for the last few chapters, you're amazing to respond to everyone and write the story,too. very much in favor of frequent updates. giles sounds like himself! and now i can't wair for the plot twist! I feel if you're gonna take the time to review, I should be nice enough to respond. The story's the easy part, review responses take a lot of thought. I much in favor of the frequent updates, especially if it's a story I'm truly invested in. I was hoping Giles would sound like season one and/or two's Giles. Just wait, you may not like the twist, but how else will I tie everything in together? Although, I love the damned thing. margaret 07/18/2006 04:50 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? great story, are they going to let spike and buffy out of the hospital now that they're not in comas anymore? Just wait, some people may want to kill me when I get done with this. excellent chapter, and i find myself wondering if perhaps giles knows more than they think he do? ... looking forward to your next update :) Giles always knows more than they think he does, but in this case it's not what he knows, but what he doesn't. vladt 07/18/2006 12:12 am Father Figure Turned Doctor? very good read, thank you You're very welcome. Lou 07/17/2006 11:27 pm Father Figure Turned Doctor? Giles in trainers? Snort! That's hilarious, and I couldn't pass it up. Verda 07/17/2006 07:44 pm Father Figure Turned Doctor? You nailed it, very Giles like, and the way he felt affection towards her was a nice touch. How was Buffy's violent past in her file? since she'd been in the coma the whole time? Why was she violent here? Another great chapter and I said you were only evil "if" you didn't update soon, which you did, so definately "not" evil at the moment. *hugs* Thank you for the vote of confidence. If you go back to when Dr. Wood was doing his thing. It says in her file that she had a violent past. I was taking how she acted in Normal Again, as violent outbursts. So well sorta fits. But anywho. Also she was put into the hospital for believing in vampires, ahe wasn't in a coma when they brought her there, she just happen to fall into one. Willow was nervous because she thought that Buffy might have resorted to violence. Not that Buffy was violent. I'm glad that I'm not evil, hopefully I won't ever be, seeing as how I plan to put a chapter up everyday til this sucker is finished. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:45 am Story of Her Life I love how supportive and protective Spike is of Buffy and that she realizes that he is there for her. That's the way it's always been on his part anyway. Lou 07/17/2006 11:24 pm Story of Her Life Evil craterhanger! LOL!!!! i still need answers! All will be revealed, and/or answered. Just hang in there. Irina 07/17/2006 01:58 am Story of Her Life I liked how supportive Spike was of Buffy. The kiss they shared was so sweet. Giles theory is a good one, I look forward to finding out if he's right about it. Wonderful chapter! Spike in a round about way has always been supportive, and my character is the same Spike just a mortal one. Ah, sweet kissage. Giles theory is a good one, but the plot twist will throw everyone. Giles is usually right when it comes to things like this, but you never know now do you? Thanks for the wonderful review. Verda 07/17/2006 12:26 am Story of Her Life That was very evil of you, only if you don't update soon. Oooo, can't wait to hear what Giles thinks of the situation. I'm sure it has the girls curious. Love how you have him watching them as a silent observer and Spike's need to support and protect her. Great chapter, great read. Alot of people think I'm evil today, wonder why. Update should happen sometime after 12 est tommorrow. Well Giles' will probably ask a whole lot of questions, seeing as this is Giles we're talking about. Oh, Willow and Tara are curious to be sure. Thought that Giles stepping in before it was appropriate might be too annoying. Plus he figured that it was a private conversation. Well it's Spike and as always he had his girls back, even if he did disagree with something Buffy said. Thank you for reviewing and leaving a good one at that. I like when people ask questions I can answer without giving too much of the story away. hmmm...can't wait to see the reactions of everyone listening to the story they've just told...excellent update :) Well, everyone should know what Giles' reaction should be. I hope this lives up to everyones expecttations. pretty_in_fangs 07/16/2006 07:31 pm Story of Her Life And, did no one notice the inclusion of people that Buffy in this world hasn't yet met? It's a post-Chosen fic. So yes she has met them. In this A.U. She went into the coma right after the end of the actual movie. Before the season one. So she has met them in the delusions. The real question here is what's a delusion, and what's not. Cause I have a very big twist in a few chapters, that will have everyone going what the...? (OH! Look an evil cliffhanger.) oh yes a very evil one *rolls eyes* and then you brag about it. Evil woman :P Good story so far Wasn't trying to be evil. But atleast you don't have to wait a week to get the next chappy. Should be up sometime tommorrow. Glad you like the story. Maybe they should keep visions of Sunnydale to themselves if they ever want to get out of the looney bin. Oh yes, but then there would be no story to tell. Just hang in there and all will come to fruition. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:40 am Rugs and Redheads I love how you take bits and pieces, like the rug, that in this world are ordinary thing but in the other world had special meaning. HE!HE! There's alot of that going on isn't there? Lou 07/17/2006 11:22 pm Rugs and Redheads Is it real real or is it drug real? It isn't drug related. The question of the whole thing. Is this the real world, or is this the delusion? Irina 07/16/2006 06:14 am Rugs and Redheads I enjoyed Wilow's babbling, I think it's really interesting that Willow knew Buffy in high school. I can't wait for Willow and Tara's reaction to what Buffy tells them. Spike and Buffy's little exchange about the rug was so cute. Loved the chapter! You've got to have Willow babbling, she'd be out of character if you didn't. The knowing of her in high school was something that my muse wouldn't leave me alone about. Couldn't pass up the rug, and it seemed to fit with the office furnishings. margaret 07/16/2006 05:09 am Rugs and Redheads love the story, all the characters are there and noone dies! yea! Someone finally got the whole connection. You get a cookie. i enjoyed this chapter, very good...wondering why everybody's in the delusions in this particular version...cant wait for more :) Oh, it's not exactly like Normal again. That would've been a little boring considering. Plus the doctor in it wasn't a character that I wanted to revisit. bad spike, lol ...or good Spike. cause it brought to mind naked Spike. well worth the effort. great chapter. can't wait for more Thank you much. Very much. vladt 07/15/2006 10:47 pm Rugs and Redheads good read, thanks. love the bit about the rug. thanks again. Yep, having a bit of de'ja' vue here. Verda 07/15/2006 10:46 pm Rugs and Redheads Just thought of all the sponge bath's Tara must have given him while he was in the coma? to bad she's gay, so yum worthy, anyway they're all there and I can't wait to see their reaction to the explaination from the blonds. good chapter. Thanks for the read. You know I think I want to be Tara, now that you've brought up that little tid-bit. Just think about it, what would be your reaction to something as outlandish as the story they're getting ready to spout out. vladt 07/15/2006 10:46 pm Rugs and Redheads good read, thanks. love the bit about the rug. thanks again. Had to use the rug. Nearly everything has a connection to something in the actual Buffy verse. But what is what? Too bad for Spike. He needed a nurse who could appreciate his finer attributes. When are these two going to escape? Escape not so much, as something entirely different. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:32 am Not so Cold Comfort I loved Buffy's reaction to seeing Tara and the way Spike and Buffy were snarking back and forth was really cute. It just wouldn't be Spike and Buffy if they weren't snarking at each other. And Tara, god I loved that character. If I can't have her in one reality, then she shall be in the other. Lou 07/17/2006 11:20 pm Not so Cold Comfort It's a good job they've got each other or they really would lose the plot. Okay, you lost me about a mile back with this one. Thanks for reviewing. so cool...still wondering what's going on...and he's so insecure, reading the wrong things into her words *sigh* but so good update! can't wait for more ! Well, she always treated him like he didn't mean anything to her, and that's how he's thinking at the moment. But all will be situated in due time. Verda 07/15/2006 02:42 am Not so Cold Comfort Buffy has Spike, Tara has Willow at least some things are as they should be. Spike would look good in anything and if it's a problem, he could always be naked!!! Yummm, naked Spike. Great read, can't wait for more, need to know what's the what? Thanks. Yes some things are. Yes, Spike would look good in anything. Especially nude. But this is Buffy criticism, so you know. are they stuck there forever? That's just one of the mysteries. And it will be solved in good time. vladt 07/15/2006 02:09 am Not so Cold Comfort good to see tara added to this cast. fun read, thank you. Yep, Tara was on of my faves. You're welcome. And Thank You for reviewing. Irina 07/15/2006 01:34 am Not so Cold Comfort I really enjoyed the Spuffy interaction in this chapter. It's great to see Tara introduced into the story. Wonderful update! Can't go wrong with the Spuffy. I loved Tara, and couldn't resist writing her. Yeah, maybe you two medical knuckleheads should talk to your patients so that confusion can be maximized. LMAO. Never said that the physicians were bright. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:22 am A Meeting of Minds I did enjoy the Ripperish Dr. Giles. I am really looking forward to how all this will work itself together. Oh just wait. HE HE HE HE!!! ooooh... Yeah, always said my mind was a scary place to be. Nice work! I am enjoying how you are adding the characters to this story. I can't wait for this mystery to unravel! Thanks. This story has two mysteries in one, just wait for the big wow. Or I should say What? Huh? Scratching head in confusion part. Jessica 07/14/2006 06:48 am A Meeting of Minds Very interesting so far. I'm always wondering what will happen next. Looking forward to more. You never know from one chappy to the next what or who is gonna come up. vladt 07/14/2006 06:35 am A Meeting of Minds okay, if giles thinks it is shared delusions, then my thoughts along the lines must be wrong. thanks for the entertaining read. Just wait and see, it's all very complicated. golddrake 07/14/2006 01:40 am A Meeting of Minds great chapter Thank you! very intriguing...they're starting to put it together...can't wait to see what happens next ;) Well, sort of. It's one explaination anyway. Joan 07/13/2006 11:51 pm A Meeting of Minds What a treat to find this! I was reading it at BS Central before The Crash. Though I can't recall the details of the story, I remember thoroughly enjoying both the characters and the plot. Cool, another repeat reader. Does a happy dance. It's been totally re-done since it was posted on BS Central. Longer chapters, and quite a few changes to the original. Oh no, Wood and Giles better not try to do anything bad to my favorite couple! Now would I do something like that? Verda 07/13/2006 10:09 pm A Meeting of Minds If Spike wasn't human, I'd think they were both poisoned by the Glarghk Guhl Kashmas'nik, so interested in what this is. Hope you can continue to update regularly. Thanks for the fine read. He, he. There's one little monkey wrench thrown into the cogs. But it all turns out for the best in the end. I like the shared delusions theory. Better to share them than be all alone, I say. Oh yes, and to be sharing them with Spike just makes it freaking fantastic. Irina 07/13/2006 09:06 pm A Meeting of Minds I liked the new insight shed about Spike during Giles and Wood's conference. Love the way the story is progressing. Great chapter! Well he may be a human, in this dimension, but he's all Spike. Lou 07/13/2006 08:57 pm A Meeting of Minds Tricky tricky -- love it! I just like to keep people guessing. I can be really tricky at times. great update! :heartfic: so he was in that 'normal again'-demension/reality when he got his soul and went a bit insane?? That's a pretty interesting twist. Can't wait to read more and daily updates are more than amazing, so don't worry about the pace :) Sort of but he didn't get poisoned by anything. My logic in this is truly AU. But it all ties in nicely. It just takes a while to get there. great chapter. very different from fic i usually ready. can't wait for more I hope that you conyinue to read. It's a long and winding road, as to how all of this fits. But the trip is worth the wait. I hope. Spike is human, got that settled. Does that hospital room have a lock on the door? So, yeah he's human or is he? Their in a mental hospital, I'm not quite sure if they put locks on the doors in those types of places. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:14 am Some Q&A I love that Buffy admitted to Spike how much it meant to her that he always had her back. That's what should have said to him in the show, instead of saying it to Giles. vladt 07/14/2006 06:27 am Some Q&A wonderful read, thanks. so, they are both in the same delusion? or one of them is delusional? or it's real? or somethingelse entirely? Well, something like that. Everything is connected on some level. Verda 07/13/2006 09:14 pm Some Q&A Any Spuffy time is worth it. Just waiting to this how this is going to unfold. Nice story, good chapter. Thanks for the read. Yes any Spuffy time is sooo worth it. Thank you for reviewing every chappy. Doing the Snoopy Dance of Joy. golddrake 07/13/2006 01:08 am Some Q&A great chapter Thank you muchly. i'm feeling a bit of catharsis here...now they're not alone...great update, looking forward to more :) Thanks,and there will be more tommorrow after work is over and done with. Ugh! work, anyway glad to see everyone is chomping at the bit for more of this. Irina 07/12/2006 09:57 pm Some Q&A I enjoyed Spike and Buffy's conversation. Should be interesting to see if Spike is related to Oz. Great update! Spikes family is totally strange. I don't know why I did it to him, but everyone's going to be like WHAT? My mind is a terrible place to be sometimes. It's funny in a way. Think English. Buffy and Spike have many little conversations like this one, and then some that are quite hilarious. I happy that you enjoyed. i'm way too impatient for this *flops over* I've been wanting to say that to everyone that I'm reading. The updates just don't come quick enough. But I have to completely revise these chapters, so it takes at least a day. Sorry. MARGARET 07/12/2006 08:58 pm Some Q&A THANKS FOR THE QUICK UPDATES, MAYBE CRAZY LAND IS THEIR REWARD? Maybe, but then again... you'll just have to wait and see. Sam 07/12/2006 08:33 pm Some Q&A Just found your Story. Interesting. I got no Idea where this is going but i want to find out. Please Update soon. Believe me, it took me awhile to figure out where I was gonna go with this. Two years of writing off and on. This was originally posted a ff.net. But that version just really wasn't what I was going for. So I've revised everything, and am now posting the better fic here. Thanks for the lovely chapter! Such sweetness for our duo, hopefully questions can be answered for them both! Oh, the questions will be answered, and a whole lot more will be asked by the end of this monstrosity of a story. well I certainly did, enjoy that is!! great update :heartfic: I hope there'll be more soon?! :) Is tommorrow soon enough? I'm trying to put up chapters everyday, hopefully I'll be able to keep that promise. aged 22 - shouldn't Buffy be about 28 if six years are past, or is this more writer type trickery? Nope, this is happening right after the Hellmouth collapsed. So she is still 22. No writer type tricks I promise. Robyn 08/01/2006 06:02 am Contemplation I enjoyed how you did this chapter from the doctor’s point of view. It was nice to see his confusion and how it adds to the puzzle. Oh a confused doctor, it's sort of like Scrubs'. Are those guys ever know what's going on? Sorry for the long wait for Chp.17, computer went all crazy and stuff. vladt 07/14/2006 06:02 am Contemplation good update. thanks for the read. You're very welcome Verda 07/13/2006 08:49 pm Contemplation OK, now I understand how you're portraying this story. I had to laugh that you had Cordy a nurse, as if she'd had any compassion, probably just trying to marry a doctor. Can't wait for Giles' to explain that one. Good read Thanks. When I get to it the whole reason Cordy is a nurse will be revealed. The first part of this is completely AU in a sense. But the nurses and some other people do have a conection. Nice exposition, told in a truly unique way! Thanks! He he! I'd never seen this kinda of exposition in a story either. I thought maybe if we could get into the doc's head we'd all understand a little better. Okay.... now explain more... Chapter 4 will be up shortly. Hold your horses. i like the interesting twists you've got in here so far...very intriguing...seems like the doc's keeping an open mind so far...can't wait to see what happens next :) Right now, the good ol' doc doesn't have much to go on, other than it's really weird that two people that shouldn't know each other actually do. Also, this is Schizo world where Robins mother wasn't killed by Spike. I will eventually throw everyone for a loop, with what has been planned. Hope you enjoy what's gonna go down, and can't wait to see what you think about it. OK, I'm reading this one and looking forward to trying to find the changes. Good story. Post more please. Some changes are really minor, but then there's ones that are blaringly obvious. I hope you find this one just as good as the old version. Can't wait to see what you think. Lou 07/11/2006 11:03 pm Contemplation I love a good puzzle! I'll tell you right now, there's plenty to puzzle through in this one. There's a little twist that's gonna throw everyone for a big WHAT? HUH? Irina 07/11/2006 10:09 pm Contemplation I liked how you incorporated the people from Sunnydale into this reality. I can't wait to see who else turns up. Wonderful chapter! Oh, believe there's quite a few more characters to go through isn't there. You'll just have to keep reading to find out who else will turn up. golddrake 07/11/2006 09:26 pm Contemplation great chapter Thank you. Hope you enjoy the rest of it, too. DiamondRose 07/11/2006 09:08 pm Contemplation This is really great! Please update soon! :) Thank you very much. wow great chapter. i can't wait to see were you going with this. We have alot of twists and turns before all will be revealed. neo_trinityknot 07/11/2006 08:39 pm Contemplation Wow! Just read the 3 chapters up, this is great! Cant wait to see what else you do with it. Oh, I have so much more to do with this. I hope you enjoy the rest as much as the first three chapters. MARGARET 07/11/2006 07:13 pm Contemplation CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE VERY INTRIGUING PREMICE, AND LOVE THE WRITING Thank you very much. I'm happy to see you are enjoying. Cate 08/26/2008 07:17 am Awakening Hmmm.. this is very interesting. I can't wait to read more. "her favorite patient" Bet she was giving Spike his sponge baths. heh heh. This is very mysterious. Is Spike human now? I'm pretty sure the nurse would notice. I'd sure like to give him a sponge bath. Too bad being in a coma he didn't know what the heck was actually happening. Spike human? I'm not answering that question. vladt 07/14/2006 05:57 am Awakening good update. more unanswered questions. thanks for the read. This thing is full of unanswered questions. Verda 07/13/2006 08:18 pm Awakening Dr. Giles? Looking forward to the how and why of it. At least they found each other. Good chapter, continuing to next chappie. Dr.Giles, I know. Too funny. Wow! Wonderful chapter. This keeps getting more intriguing! Thank you! Everyone seems to think as you do. That's good. Maybe I'll keep everyone reading if it stays so intriguing. i wanna know whats going on! its killing me!! He, Hee! I'm just getting started. Wait til I throw in the What? Huh? scratch your head twist. Pulchra 07/11/2006 01:27 pm Awakening OOh I read this fic at FF.net is that possible? I love it! Oh that is so very possible. How do you like the revision, and lengthening of the Chapters? My first attempted at this is post there, but I like this version alot better. Irina 07/11/2006 07:50 am Awakening Fantastic start! I just read the first two chapters and the plot looks really interesting. Can't wait to read more. The interesting thing is I'm really not that fond of the epi it's based on. But where the plotbunny hops, I must follow. Robyn 07/11/2006 06:40 am Awakening Very intriguing and confusing (in a good way :D ). I am really looking forward to how all the pieces fall together. Oh believe me. I can't wait to see what my brain decides to do in the revision. Opal 07/11/2006 04:22 am Awakening I like this fic...I seem to remember reading this somewhere else but I lost track of it. I'm glad to see it posted here. Yeah, another repeat reader. You guys rock. Interesting! Looking forward to reading more of this. Hopefully, I'll be able to put at least one chapter up everyday, if not more. Spikes Slayer2 07/11/2006 02:24 am Awakening ooooh.. getting very interesting! :) Glad to see you like. Rose 07/11/2006 01:41 am Awakening So very interesting and unique. Can't wait for the next chapter. I try to be unique. My concepts are sometimes very strange. this is a fascinating chapter...i wonder what it all means...so very cool as a concept though...can't wait to read more :) Cool! It's all kinda confusing til the last few chapters. OK I am lost ... BUT I DONT WANT TO BE LOST!!! Guess that means i just gotta keep reading.... sounds good so far! It's not good to be lost. Thank You! Interesting twist! Totally reading on. :) Why thank you muchly. Hopefully you find the rest as intriguing. You should definitely proceed, and since you have, I won't have to nag. Although I will say, Spike and Buffy not getting laid for SIX YEARS! That's just too cruel. Writers are all alike. Mean. They were in coma's for six years before they came out of it. This is set directly after the Hellmouth collapsed. vladt 07/14/2006 05:50 am Prologue i'm sure the explanations will be as intriguing as the opening. thanks for the interesting read. Oh yes, but not in the way that anyone is thinking, anyway. Verda 07/13/2006 08:08 pm Prologue Looks very interesting, be glad to continue to read. want to know why Buffy's in the hospital as well. Good chapter. Thanks for the read. Oh, it's so much fun to keep everyone guessing. Your welcome, and thank you for reviewing. Nikkole 07/13/2006 01:44 am Prologue Interesting. Ic an't wait to see what happened to bring us to this point. Just wait til I throw in the monkeywrench. It hasn't even begun to get interesting. Ohh, I like this!! Very interesting premise. Gonna go read more now. I'm glad you like. Hope the rest lives up to expectations. *bounces* get with the explainy, buddy Explainations come in due time. Robyn 07/11/2006 06:33 am Prologue This is a very interesting set-up and I am looking forward to how this all fits together. Oh I hope you'll be surprised, by what happens in the next say 50 some chapters. Neart 07/10/2006 07:27 pm Prologue Interesting start, would be good to more pls. Thank you. Chapter 2 should be up later today. Hope you enjoy the rest. Okay, cryptic, mysterious beginnning. You've definitely got my attention. More, please! I'm all with the cryptic, and mysterious it seems. So glad I have your attention. I hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. golddrake 07/09/2006 10:41 pm Prologue great start Thank you I was reading this at BS Central before it crashed. So glad to see it returning now. Hello Mary. So glad to see an old reader. Hope you like the revisions and lengthing of some of the chapters. Can't wait to see what you think. Lou 07/09/2006 10:11 pm Prologue Mysterious start. More please. Just call me Mysterious Girl. Chapter two should be up in a little while. So more is on the way. twist on normal again, eh? very intriguing...cant wait to see where you take this, like it a lot so far :) Oh, yes. Normal Again, it wasn't one of my fave epi's, but this little bunny of a plot wouldn't leave me alone. I'm to see that you're intrigued enough to keep wanting to read. I like this but it seems very familiar to me. Maybe further chapters will alter my perception. If you were on BS central before it went down, then this is probably really familiar. I had about twenty chapters of it up there before the big crash. Although alot of it has been revised and lengthed since then. I hope you continue to read. Thanks for the review. well I like it and I hope you'll continue this... soon!! :) Hopefully another will be up shortly. | |||
