Chapter 6         
Lovely!  This was a very poignant, sad but hopeful story.  Interesting choice for his sister with a Giles...  I can see Drusilla doing something like this... both the lie, and the restoration of the memory.  Dru has always been a favourite of mine... wounded and destroyed, but at the same time so devastatingly powerful. 

I'm glad they gave him one last dream.  He's going to need it.  Hope they can find each other.

Peace,

They will always fine each other!

Thank you!  Yes, Dru would have done this IMHO.  

I love to play with detains about William's origins.  My first stories were explorations of that.  He is not far from the human he was and I enjoy looking into what aspects caused what behavior in Spike.

Chapter 6         
such a wonderful and interesting story - love how you connect the three characters and their tragic circumstances but ultimate love between Buffy and Spike. The Neruda poem is perfect and I love how you bring the first part using Buffy's voice. It is perfect for both Buffy and Spike, but especially for Spike.
Thank you. Glad you liked the story. That poem has always reminded me of this pair and I agree...mostly Spike.

Wow, what a great story, I enjoyed every chapter! I love the promise that one day, they'll find something sweet together... please tell me there's a sequel in the works!! lol This is the first fic of yours I have read, but now I am desperate to read more of your work!! :) loved it
Don't know about a sequel but won't rule it out. I have a WIP to finish and then two sequels to other stories that I've promised. I just keep having these ideas that insist I write them. Thank you for reading and reviewing. Hope you enjoy other of my stories. k

and dru won't be stealing this dream from him :) that poetry was absolutely gorgeous, love, i've read it before but can't seem to remember where...it's so very lovely...wow...that was such an intense, lovely story...very beautifully done, love :)
Thank you. I always think of Spike and Spuffy with that poem and it seemed the right thing to tie it all up. I appreciate the positive comments. (On another site I got one review and they basically said they were completely confused and had read the first chapter 3 times, unable to make sense of it....glad it was clear to you!).

Chapter 5         
Gosh,that Dru is off her stone!
1-Telling William that he was her destiny in his dreams
2-Making him forget all about the other woman-as in Buffy
3-Then sleeping with her oh-so-precious "Daddy" when Spike wasn't around?
Yeah,she really is insane!

But I liked the chapter so much,it was written beautifully:)
Thank you.  I always felt a bit sorry for Dru...she was a truly good person and Angelus destroyed her so totally.  Her jealousy for Spike's love (even though SHE loved Angelus more than Spike) really made her cheat him.  Thank you again.  k

Chapter 5         
Awww.... poor Spike, stupid selfish dru and mean, annoying Angelus! From the beginning Dru wanted him all to herself, (who wouldn't!!) but then still didn't mind throwing him away... destiny shmestiny aww... I feel so sorry for Spike, the poor sod goes from one heartbreaker to the next...
Yes, Dur didn't share well but expected her freedom. Spike had so much to offer and just couldn't seem to have anyone see his worth (Buffy at the very end did IMHO, but way too late). The boy was pure gold but treated like junk. k

Chapter 5         
just like dru to do that, to take his hope of his destiny from him, selfishly wanting him to be only hers, but not to really be willing to give herself in return...it just makes me furious...poor spike...excellent chapter, love ;)
Yes that is Dru....wants Spike exclusively but wants others too. She never treasured what she had....I think she was too damaged to realize it though so that's not her fault. Thanks. k

Chapter 3         
awwww, i can see why dru felt the need to take the memories of those dreams from him...i'm sure she thought they were a tremendous threat to her relationship with spike...not that she could change it, if it's a prophecy and all....i love this story, love, so glad you've posted it here :)
Yes Dru was threatened by Buffy and all she represented. Thanks, sweetie.

Chapter 2         
Poor William! His life doesn't get better in any way possible. Well,except for his golden goddess' kiss:)
Loved the chap,gonna read more:D
THank you. Yes, his golden goddess is his solace.  k

Chapter 2         
This is simply great characterization. I never really thought much about the "William" connection with the Spike character, but had me thinking. Great stuff, thanks!

Oh I love when the characters ring true! Thank you so much. I always saw lots of William in Spike and vice versa and this is one of my attempts to take a peak at that angle.

Chapter 2         
I have just realised that I LOVE your style... the way you write is just so... captivating. It's lovely! Spike, or William rather, falling for his golden goddess already...? That boy just had no hope of escaping the slayer lol :P
...:::blushes brightly:::...Thank you so much for your lovely words. No, William was looking for his effulgent one and Buffy was always it.

Chapter 2         
well it doesn't seem like a great loss :P lol
great chapter, love, i'm getting very much into this fic...and i'm not usually all about william fics, i usually prefer spike to be the focus...but this is so deep and emotional and lavishly written, i can't help being drawn in...beautifully done, love :)
Cam left a bit to desire right! So glad you are liking this. I always try to see the Spike in William and the William in Spike...they are both there and the reasons are his roots IMHO. That's why I like to explore the human he was from time to time. k

Prologue and Chapter 1         
Wow,interesting start with a nice story.Liked it.
But I didn't like William's father.He is mean.
William's father was like most "heads of family" in that time period.  A bit cold and harsh but well meaning.  Thank you.  k

You write, Kathleen! Sorry - *grins* - I don't read as much as I should, and somehow I missed this tale. Terribly intriguing start ... and it stands to reason that Dru could manipulate Spike's memory. On to the next chapter. *Clicks heels in glee*
Yup, I write! I also read veraciously (even if I can't spell worth a wet cat). Glad you are reading and reviewing.

I am blushing! Thank you. Hope you enjoy it. K
