More Than A Myth by KaylaTM "fascinating." excellent chapter, thank you. Thanks for the review! I'm glad that you continue to enjoy my story! katyk 08/02/2007 02:37 am Spun Sugar and Warm Apple Tarts I am so glad to see an update to this story. It is great so far, and i early anticipate the next chapter. Thank you for the review, katyk! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed reading the update! OH that was good, I wonder when she will find out that Spike is a Vampire. He could just claim her, get some of her blood in him and if would help him. More please. Buffy finding out that Spike is a vampire is a little ways off. I want to say about four or five chapters away, if my plot line goes as it should. Thanks for reviewing! Poor Clem!! He's only trying to help *rolls on the floor giggling* Can't wait for the next chapter. This fic is so much fun!! Thanks for reviewing, Avalon. I always enjoy reading your feedback. And yes, poor Clemmy-poo, his help is just no help at all. Nika 08/01/2007 09:37 am Spun Sugar and Warm Apple Tarts Great chapter. I can't wait to see the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad that you're enjoying what I've written so far! very happy to see buffy's attitude change so rapidly. aunt aggie is a charm. 'm sure buffy's reaction to what she can remember of her dream, "piercing golden eyes," will aid things in the future. excellent read, thank you. I know her change was a little sudden, but I thought of it in the way that she had already been drawing into herself for months, so, really, the change wasn't too rapid and she's still going to have draw-backs every now and again. Ah yes, the golden eyes. They will in deed aid...sometime in the future. Thanks for reviewing! Oh that was good, so Spike is warming up to Buffy, still thinking it might be a little spooky if him and joyce were together once and he gets together with Buffy. *sighs* A lot of people are getting squicked and are turning away from this fic. I'm glad that even though you're slightly uncomfortable, you'll at least stick through to find out the explanations for everything. I promise that things won't get spooky. Thanks for reviewing! Looooong chapters are of the good. I wish I had had such a supporting comitee against my bullies :( More, soon, plz?? I'm glad that you like looooong chapters...because I can't seem to keep them short. Haha, the Spike-Aggie committee! Their policy: kick the crap out of the kid that calls you names. A good cry can help you, that's true. ~ Buffy saw these yellow eyes? There is the connection again whatever it means. Did Spike draw that picture of Joyce? He knows how she looked like at last. And the attraction is on both sides. Spike's demon is drawn to Buffy. ~ Really loved that scene in the kitchen with Aggie and Buffy (and Spike). It's good that Buffy is there now. For herself and for Aggie. Looking forward to more :) I wonder what Joyce's special place is till then. Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer, and thanks for your help over at SR ;) Angi 07/01/2007 10:44 pm Piercing Golden Eyes Still love it, please go on soon. It´s a depressing and sad, though, that Spike "only" wants to kill Buffy. I hope that won´t remain his only reaction to her. And also, it´s a bit sad for Buffy, that he considers Joyce his one true love and still lives in a place where he holds her memories alive. I´m wondering how this is meant to go? Is this supposed to be a Spike/Buffy pairing at all? One the one hand, I´ll always want them to get together, I am a Spuffy-shipper after all, but on the other hand it somehow leaves a bad taste in my mouth to think Buffy would not be loved as "THE ONE", because he already had that - with her mother to boot. Major ick-factor.Or, even worse, he falls for her because she is his link to Joyce and looks much like her. So, any way I look at this right now, it doesn´t make for a happy Spuffy-shipper. Did you really have to make out Joyce as his great true love? I think that is what disturbs me most, because it makes everything else Spike could have with Buffy just second best. Not a very good idea, you´ll have to put some major work into making it believable after this set-up. Or, if you don´t want them to end up together, just tell me, and I´ll sit this one out. Here's the thing...I may be intentionally misleading you. Spike doesn't know the full of why he keeps wanting to attack Buffy. The dream sequence--which, I'll admit was pretty vague--showed him taking what was his, but when he woke up he didn't remember it. I'm going somewhere with the forgotten dreams. Buffy had one too. Hence the name of this chapter. But I appreciate your concern and will tell you that you shouldn't give up on this story. Things will come to the clear in time. Mali 06/14/2007 04:33 pm Finding Home Spike and Joyce? ..oh. Maybe... One never knows what could happen... Oh, the mystery. very good update. thanks for the fine read. THanks! I'm glad that you are still enjoying my story! SpaceLord 06/12/2007 06:41 pm Finding Home Very nice, I hope for more frequent updates in the future. You almost have to reread the whole story when this chappy came out to remember it all :) I know, I feel horrible when it takes me too long to post a chapter up, but sometimes RL just gets the best of me. I'm glad that you still continue to like my story, SpaceLord! So she found a painting of her mother, and for some reason I believe it was Spike that drew it. I seemed like Spike Joyce always talked about in the stories. More please. Thank you for the review, smlcspike! I'm glad that my story continues to intrigue you! Good excuse that Spike is ill and won't Buffy to get it too. I'm glad that Aggie is getting to Buffy (hopefully stopping her from running again). If she only let it happen she has a place there where she is wanted. More secrets (Joyce's picture). I wonder who did it (painting and hiding it). I think Buffy will stay now; that's good for her. Looking forward to more! :-D Thank you for reviewing, Cordykitten! I was wondering when there would be more of this. Beautiful chapter, all that pain and heartache.... Thank you, Avalon. Yeah, there was a lot of pain and heartache in this chapter... I had to break down some Buffy-barriers. I'm glad that you are continuing to enjoy my story! MARGARET 04/08/2007 01:05 am Revulsion GREAT STORY. THANKS Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like my story so far! now we know who spike is, and what is future might be. who is buffy? who is aggie? very good read, thank you. Jessica 03/31/2007 05:07 am Revulsion "His most precious gift?" I love it. Excellent chapter. I'm glad that we learned more about Spike. I was worried that he would lose control and hurt her with all the talk about her blood and by how overwhelmed he seemed. But I am definitely feeling better about it after learning about his "curse" and the last scene with him up against the wall. Loved it. More please. I'm glad that your worries have lessened. I don't want Spike to seem like a creepy serial killer to my readers--although, Buffy on the other hand, might beg to differ on that point. Thanks for your continued reviewing, Jessica. I really appreciate your feedback. PS: Sun / belongs to the sun = my guess: Buffy, light, sun ;-) smlcspike 03/30/2007 09:18 pm Revulsion OH I love it, I can't wait for more. Want to know more about why Spike wants her blood. All shall be revealed in due time, grasshopper ;P Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad that you're enjoying it so far! Buffy sleeps naked? Spike it seems likes the sight a lot. And Buffy was strong enough to roll them over *thinks if Buffy is a slayer here* Oh it was a dream! Sounds almost like a slayer's dream telling of things to come, changes, even if it was Spike here dreaming. Too bad he doesn't remember the dream, only the after-effects *gg* Why does Spike think if he is maybe cured *wonders* ~ ah he has a revulsion to human blood. That's indeed bad for a vampire. Mmm interesting story why this happened. I didn't see this coming. Ah it will lead Spike to where he belongs. To the sun ... Interesting why Spike longs for Buffy's blood so much. ~ Loved it, looking forward to :reading: more. I'm glad that you liked it Cordykitten! And just to get things cleared up, the tattoo of a sun on Spike's neck is just a symbol, he doesn't really belong to the sun--as in that big ball of sunshine. The tattoo has a deeper meaning. BloodyLuv 03/30/2007 05:04 pm Revulsion cant wait to know what happens next, great history lesson about spikes past, update soon!! Plus--bonus points for adding Billy Idol!Spike into the history lesson, right? Kimber 03/30/2007 05:30 am Revulsion Oh the plot thickens.......I take it that Buffy is his gift. Could she be his light, his path to humanity.....her blood calls to him for she is meant to be his and he hers......hmmmmm. More please...... "for she is meant to be his and he hers." Aaaw, how romantic. *gives a sappy sniffle* This is a great premise for an AU fic. I'm so curious about Joyce and Agatha and how they're wrapped up with Spike ... and if Buffy is just an ordinary girl or if there's something else going on. Reading more now ... Thank you, Verity Watson! I'm glad that you like my lil' story so far! The mystery does up the intrigue quiet nicely doesn't it? *wink* *said in a coy voice* You'll just have to keep reading to find out its' secrets... spike has it bad, whatever it is. aunt aggie is a joy (so far.) very good read, thank you. Yes. Yes, indeed, Spike does have it bad... Whatever 'it' is. Thanks for reviewing! BloodyLuv 03/21/2007 09:01 pm Scent simply brilliant!! i am very intrigued, cant wait to know what happens next!! Aww, you are too kind! So...Brilliant, huh? *blushes prettily* Thank you for reviewing! Very exciting. What's wrong with Spike? Can't wait to find out. Some things about Spike should be cleared up in the very next chapter. So stay tuned to find out! *wink* desertrose 03/18/2007 02:36 am Scent Yeah there might be a concern or two there. WONDERFUL amazingly good start to the story. I very much look forward to it all. Aw, thank you. It means a lot to know that so many people are enjoying this story so far. ella 03/17/2007 11:29 pm Scent I have lots of questions, but I'm living in hope that you'll answer them soon. :) Please, update soon! And I shall answer your questions...eventually. Until then, my advice would be to go out and buy a Magic 8 ball and ask those same questions. Haha. There is no finer method than that. What an original story, I love Aunt Aggie already. I hope it was Angel that Joyce was involved with and not Spike, Angel is the one who leaves someone for their own good. I really hope that Buffy is a slayer, so she is Spikes equal. Keep writing this wonderful fic, and I will keep reading :) Thank you so much for reviewing! Aggie is a sweet ol' bitty isn't she? I love her, too. We should all have Aunt Aggies... Especially if they all come included with a hot British caretaker named Spike. Hmmm. *off in my happy place* Kimber 03/17/2007 08:21 pm Scent I just had a thought. The princess in the story is Joyce's mother or grand mother. And the pale knight did not leave the princess, she died. Interesting we have Great Aunt Aggie, but no grieving parents for Joyce. Does Buffy look like this person, or does she share their slaylinage and it calls to his demon.....you've really intrigued me with this one.....I just hope if he was romantically involved he can convey to Buffy his love for her is different and not because....well you know....LOL That is very intelligent insight... I'm not going to tell you if you're right or wrong, but those are all very well thought out guesses. smlcspike 03/17/2007 07:55 pm Scent Please don't tell me that they are father and daughter, I am writing one but I want a love seen because I think they have the right cemestriy in this fic. Um, no, they're not father and daughter. That much I'll tell you. And thank you for the complement. It's good to know that the chemistry between Spike and Buffy is evident. Kimber 03/17/2007 05:59 pm Scent Damn, next chapter please, like yesterday........ Getting a little antsy to find out what happens next, huh? tis-kit 03/17/2007 02:41 pm Scent Wonderfully vivid, powerful writing. I particularly love the way you have expressed Buffy's grief. The following lines really captivated me: "Three times. Aggie had mentioned Joyce’s name three times in the last five minutes. Yet the world hadn’t ended." The last couple of scenes up the intrigue and I am now clamouring for more! Thank you. It makes an author feel good to know that something they wrote captivated a reader. *huggles* A little too late for Mandy to try to become a friend for Buffy on her last day there... it doesn’t sound as if Buffy leaves too many good memories there behind her. Agatha is far more nicer to her, more like a family member than Hank treats her. I wonder if Joyce learned to do her chocolate from her. Heh heh… that’s because Buffy thought Spike was a dog. He doesn’t like to be up early? Mmmh (reminds me of a certain vampire). As does the sent thing and Buffy’s head feeling heavy and her mind foggy. Like the eye contact caught them in a thrall. Huh, Spike doesn’t want to get touched by Buffy? He’s acting weird. *nods* And he definitely is a vampire.... And tempted by Buffy. More than a normal human? Seems so. Looking definitely forward to read more :-D Thank you for the review, Cordykitten. I'm glad you still like how my story is going! Avalon 03/17/2007 01:27 pm Scent I definitely want to get to know more of the Buffy-Joyce-Agatha-Spike triangle... mmmm... square :P Triangle-squares. My favorite. Mary 03/17/2007 09:34 am Scent Interesting story so far. But, please tell me Spike & Joyce weren't a couple, that would just be icky. You're right, that would be icky... *still beat* But one never knows what could happen. Well, except for me. I know. Thanks for the review! *pouts* That's all? I could read this all night! It's great. Spike's an old friend of the family huh? Is Agatha a retired slayer? Got to twenty-five and got to live out her life? Bet Spike was there the whole time, what fought by her side? Knew Joyce as a little girl? Is Buffy to become a slayer after all? Is that what he smells in her blood? Is that why he wants to kill her? His demon knows what she is? This is going to be fantastic. Wonder what Agatha's going to say about all of this. Can he stay there, all the while wanting to kill her? Hoping that you will be able to update regularly? So good, thanks. Aaaw, you're so sweet. You make me want to post this story all night so you could read it. ...Unfortunately, this is a Work In Progress, and I fear that if I updated nightly it would come out as insane ramblings. So...no more pouty? *pouts right back* Jessica 03/17/2007 08:04 am Scent Great note. ; ) I loved the chapter. Their meeting was rather explosive wasn't it? But my favorite part would have to be Aggie hitting Spike with the newspaper. Just priceless. Can't wait for more. Haha! Yeah, I thought the newspaper bit was appropriate because of the fact that Buffy thought Spike was a dog. Actually, before this chapter got beta'd I had him being twacked a lot more... I guess I got a little, er, too enthusiastic. But really, you can never have too many Spike Spankings, am I right? dicecanntcry 03/17/2007 05:46 am Scent Questions? Yeah I'd say i nave a question or two, like what the heck is going on?!?! lol. Very interesting story! I'm quite curious as to what all you have in store. :) More please! That...is exactly the reaction I was expecting. Looks like you'll have to keep reading this story to find out your answers, huh? *winks* maraina 03/17/2007 04:59 am Scent Thoroughly engrossing start here despite the circumstances still being so mysterious. The scene with Mandy & Buffy in the bedroom, and later with her *swallows in order to be able to say the word past the bad taste in her mouth* 'father' was so very banal in its reality that it throws the strangeness Buffy's found herself surrounded by in Sunnydale into even greater contrast by comparison. So...questions. Is Spike what I think he is (i.e. VAMPIRE)? What's Buffy (e.g. human relative/descendant, Slayer, potential/destined mate, future dinner item)? Who's Aggie (e.g. the woman in the story Joyce told in the first chapter, a descendant of said woman, no relation whatsoever to her but fortunately some kind of relative to Buffy)? Oh and most importantly - WHEN are you gonna update again, lol? *smiles brightly* Those...are all very good questions. And I wish I could answer them...but it would kind of give all of the plot away. Ruin the suspense, you know? But never fear, all shall be revealed...at some point. So keep those questions in mind. Was that vague and side-steppy enough for you? Oh, but I will give you this: Spike is a vampire. And if he wasn't, then he would be one twisted individual don't you think? All those blood-lusty thoughts. Eek. Randie 03/17/2007 04:43 am Scent Okay. That was not nice. I like it, and I want to read more, so post more. And no more cliffhangers, yeah? I suppose that's too much to ask for....LOL! I'm oh so very sorry for leaving the story in suspense like that--that was a bit evil, wasn't? *unrepentant grin* I'm glad that you like the story! Love Buffy's dad, he's such a jerk. Not sure Buffy could let go of him so easy at aged 17. What I was trying to do with Hank's character was to get the readers to idenify with what a typical split family would be like and how it always effects the child the most. Hank, as a parent who hasn't been there for most of Buffy's childhood, doesn't have a clue on what to do with Buffy, who is a teenager with problems. And when Buffy realizes that, she drastically decides to cut him out of her life because of the fact that she is young and thinks in 'forevers.' what a lovely bedtime story. fun read, thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Oh I really like the start of this one. Little Buffy with Joyce was so cute :-D Grown up Buffy doesn't have it easy in life with Hank. Hence the saving of the money I guess. Looking forward to see if she likes Sunnydale. I think I had the most fun writing the little Buffy and Joyce scene. I wanted something light and cute before all of the drama and angst. You know? I hope Buffy likes Sunnydale too... But there's going to be a few (or a lot) of problems before then. Jessica 03/07/2007 06:40 pm Catalyst Great start so far. And I loved the bedtime story. She had an excellent take on everything. ; ) Things like "a huge group of vampires jumped out at her and started being really mean!†and "Vampires are big meanies with cooties! That’s why they wear red lipstick and slobber it all over your neck!†had me cracking up. Looking forward to where you are going to take this. And of course meeting Spike. Yeah, I thought using the words 'really mean' and 'big meanies with cooties' represented the dialect of a six-year-old quite nicely. Thank you for reviewing! It means a lot to me to know that you like it so far. Well, isn't this a different piece of pie? Wow! Quite a mystery to be solved. Is Spike a vampire here or human like Buffy? He did attend the funeral and they're never at night. Facinating story. Looking forward to learn it's secrets. Excellent start. This is a weird one isn't it? When I started writing this I was like, "Um... Where the hell did that come from?" But the idea stuck...so I stayed with it. And just to throw another loose cannon your way, whether or not Spike is a vampire isn't going to be the biggest mystery to be solved...there's more. LOL Lea 03/07/2007 02:09 pm Catalyst Great beginning! I usually don't read 'normal-human' Buffy and 'vampire' Spike, but this seems to be more than meets the eye! Keep up the good work! I'm glad that I could get you to read something a little different! I hope it continues to hold your interest as the story unfolds. jen 03/07/2007 08:28 am Catalyst This looks to be really interesting. Looking forward to more. Thank you for the review! And I hope that it stays interesting as the story goes on! *fingers crossed* Little Buffy is very much like big Buffy. Love the misused words. The pale knight couldn't go in the sunlight, huh? Can't wait to see what happens. Little Buffy is very much like big Buffy. Love the misused words. The pale knight couldn't go in the sunlight, huh? Can't wait to see what happens. Thank you for reviewing! I tried to keep little Buffy in character, and I had a kick of misusing the words while writing it! | |||
