You write so well, and it is a very interesting concept you have brought up, but seriously I have a problem... I think I'm addicted... It's not healthy. You can't just leave me like that! Please update!!

Come on Spike. YOu have to realize that Buffy needs you. She is someone who is not jaded by the past. She doesn't have one. And I just love how Dawn is there to help Buffy and to put Spike in his place. And really, the cycle has ended now that she is back? Awesome chapter.

OOoo Consequences indeed! What a neat turn of events you've dealt us here.

Well written from start to end, great chapter.

Spike being noble and Buffy left confused...these two just have such a problem connecting lol. Loved Dawn's little talks with both Buffy and with Spike.

Looking forward to more.

Excellent update. I hope Spike sees the light and stop being an idiot. He deserves some Buffy loving. And I hope the Slayer line thing doesn't give them one more reason to send Buffy back. I like younger Buffy. She's nicer.

Spike is certainly confused.

And being the last Slayer ever is one hell of lot of pressure to put on a girl. And a reason to smack Willow silly.

Great chapter, so happy to see this story is updating. I'm in a rush but I wanted to write a quick review so the author can be told how wonderful they are to be writing this! Also, anyone who reads through the reviews should get involved in this story too. It's frustrating to wait between the updates, but it's always worth it.

I am so glad Dawn confronts Spike instead of being all twitchy and in denial and 'understanding' like the Scoobies handle problems. Spike deserves to be loved by Buffy like that, and this buffy is so happy and able to love and deserving of Spike. Still, I can see the dilemma in that she is still a young teenager now, and is not the same, complete girl he fell in love with. Also, we have the whole underage sex thing, because the physical parts- fighting or kissing- were a big part of Spike and Buffy relationships.

I really hope we get to see some of that 'family' stuff Dawn was so hopeful for before everything comes crashing down. I'm sure Spike will have the chance to be sweet and caring and that kind of gentler relationship with this young Buffy. Still, there are so many ways this could go and so many opportunities and dangers. Buffy didn't even know about Faith! How would she react, never knowing Angelus, if Angel turns up? Man, I really want Angel to turn up. Spike is the most amazing, heroic vampire ever and the comparison to the Brood Boy just makes him shine brighter.
Keep writing!

So good. Wish it was finished.

YEA BUFFY!!!!!! Great chapter I am alittle scared what Willow has brewing but you wont let her hurt either of them too bad will you??? I am so glad her and Dawn are closer that was always a relationship i thought should be closer and Tara, she is huge in this story I think sides are being drawn I can see it now... now I just wonder where everyone else will fall...

YAY Buffy! Very grown up of her to stand up to the bully gang! Glad Giles is there. Even if he is suspicious of Spike he's not going off half cocked like Willow (I am still worried about that reversal spell she wants to do!).

god, they're so unbelievable. yeah, pay no attention to how many times he's saved their worthless lives. it pisses me off that they think he would just go back to killing. i'm glad buffy at least put them in their place, but i'm worried that it won't be enough.

Yup, lovin' this younger Buffy. I liked her with a little weight, not the skeleton she'd become. Love that this Buffy's not jaded and has a different prospective on life. Thanks for the update, sweetie. This is getting really exciting, glad to have Giles back, but only if he helps with Spike.

Willow has that whole "I can fix it, no, really this time" vibe going strong right now. Somehow, I think poor Tara is going to get caught in the crossfire.

More Lethe's bramble for Tara, I'm sure! Now Spike can train with Buffy, Giles and Xander might not like it but it will help keep her safer. Besides they all know that he loves her, though Xander doesn't want to admit it. Really enjoying this, since I'm all for a happy Spike, it's great! Thanks for the update, looking forward to more.

I am so glad that this has updated! As soon as I saw it on the Most Recent List, I couldn't wait.
Of course Willow can't stand that she might've messed up a spell. So she can fix it-- with another spell. I can imagine Spike's response to that!
I am really enjoying Spike and young Buffy interacting. Spike gets to bring out the sweet side of himself that he usually doesn't get the chance to with all the insults flying at him. Buffy thinks of the chip not working so simply, and I'm sure Spike falls more in love with her just for that. Dawn is definitely looking for that match, and I know she'd be delighted Spike can defend himself, unless the chip only doesn't work on Buffy. I look forward to Willow and Xander's reactions the most, though. Stupid, hyprocritical bigots. Without living through the same things, hearing about them and able to think them through without prejudice, it sounds like young Buffy can see all the changes in her friends and how arrogant or angry or close-minded they've become. I wonder what the consequences would be if Willow did try a spell to affect someone from the PAST? She's usually smart, but who knows?
Can't wait to read more! Spuffy all the way! :)

I loved Buffy's reply to Xander's comment about Spike having some kind of weird obsession with her lol. Good job, Buf. In your teeth, Xander. Good I hated the scoobies in season 6. They were so selfish. Willow was so smug and Xander so incredibly annoying and mean. Great chapter. I love the chemistry between Buffy and Spike. Well done.

07/12/2007 01:44 am

Great twist on their conversation behind the store. This is going to be complicated. What are they going to do with two Buffy's. And this one likes our Spike. He has an unjaded Buffy, one that he has a chance with. "Torn" is just what he's going to be, between them, if they get the other one back. Great work, thanks.

So happy this Buffy can still see the truth before her. Xander and Willow won't manipulate her as easily this time. Dawn and she will be closer too since they are pretty much of an age. She'll need even more help than the regular Buffy though with all that responsibility on her 15/16 year old shoulders......she needs Giles and Spike badly and I hope she knows it!

Lovely update.

gosh, willow, get a clue! she's just going to go screw things up worse now!!! and pull buffy out of heaven and all that...or maybe....maybe she won't, and older!buffy can stay in heaven, and younger buffy can stay with spike! there! :) problem solved..

If Buffy were smart, she'd get rid of Willow and Xander and keep the rest of her friends. Then again, when has Buffy ever been smart? Excellent Scoobie characterization and good writing of a younger, less hard Buffy.

Spike's always the one to tell her the truth, even if she won't wanna hear it. It's gonna be fun. S1 Buffy isn't as conditioned to let her friends rule her life as S6 Buffy was...

"Our Buffy"!!! Oh my, I can see that Willow is going to mostly likely rejest the Buffy that they brought back as not 'their' Buffy. This has the potential to be really messy and involving a lot of screaming. Great story - thanks!

Uh oh, bet Willow's going to cause even more trouble. Love the tender moment between Buffy and Spike, very well done. Spike's never been around such an open and honest Buffy before, one that hasn't been completely jaded by a broken heart. Love it so far.

Chapter 4         
Willow is teetering on the edge. That much power is far too dangerous nad unstable, and the redhead clearly shows she has control issues. It's cool to see Buffy's reaction to her friends, not having been around for the slow changes and subtle differences adn explaining away new prejudices and hates. Buffy has a more open outlook on who they are now, and I can see Spike being fair to the ones who treat him like dirt.
I can't wait to see shy Buffy reacting to someone loving her with everything they are, real love, not like Angel's infatuation or obsession with her on a pedestal. Spike doesn't have a soul but even his demon is caring and that makes him far more unique than a monster with a curse if you ask me! Next chapter having the Dawn-Spike family welcoming Buffy? Please? I have to read more!

06/09/2007 02:01 am

Oh no! That idiot Willow is going to try again. Which Buffy is Spike going to get to keep? Teen Buffy or Mature Buffy?

Great to know that she's already lusting after him, but I was hoping that she had memories of Dawn too. So hard for her to discover that Joyce was gone. Lost her mother but gained a sister, all in one night. I see Willow's going to be the same here.

Without past prejudice, Buffy can see just how amazing Spike is for a vampire.

What a fantastic twist. Will she know her sister and what will she think of this Spike, the one that loves all the Summer's women.

Torn so far seems to have a great idea for a story. I love the idea of unjaded, unprejudiced Buffy getting a chance to fall for the more caring and protective Spike who loves her sister, forgetting all her baggage. I can't wait to see them together, and how without their prejudice, the reasons the Scoobies have to hate Spike just...don't matter! I mean, so what? Dawn will be ecstatic at having a family with Spike and Buffy.

Man, I can't wait for the next update! I do love the change that happened to Spike and his relationship with Dawn after Buffy's death, and I felt like the writers shortchanged us by twisting that into the abusive relationship with Buffy so fast. Who Spike is at this point... is someone with more feeling than Angel and passion and everything and younger Buffy doesn't have all the cynicism and fear holding her back! Gah, I want to see them together so much and I know it'll be a couple more chapters!
Great so far, and please update soon!
I agree! I'm glad you are enjoying the story.Thanks!

I started this at SR, but I'd rather read from here. It's a great beginning. Love Spike and Dawn interaction. So very like them, well done.

Interesting thought on Dawn and how the others blame her for not dying.

Great beginning! I'm looking forward to the rest, and an unjaded Buffy learning about her sister. This summer without Buffy always seemed to me the big turning-point for Spike- not the lustyu dreams and not the soul. When he loved Dawn for herself and was careful and gentle and greived for months instead of some flash-fire sobbing that ended quickly. Liked it so far:)
I couldnt agree more! I loved the Spike/Dawn friendship!I was very angry at the way the Scoobies treated him after Buffy came back. He helped them all summer, asking nothing in return and they treated him like dirt.
