Great light and very romantic piece!  I certainly echo Fred!
This was the very first Spuffy story I wrote and I did it because I was so mad at how both BtVS and AtS chose to conclude.  I wanted Buffy and Spike to end up together so badly.  'Fated' was just a sketch meant as a fun one-off, but when people liked it I started writing more stories and they were fully developed.  I'm so glad you enjoyed this very first one.

Good story, but a little unrealistic. "Apartment buildings never run out of hot water." In what alternate universe???
"My new mission? Making sure you have fun."
Good one, Spike calling Liam out on the fact that he "could've given her a happy any time without losing your soul..."
I've lived in apartment buildings since I was a kid and you could stand under the shower for an hour.  The water never ran out. :D
Angel never really looked at what Buffy wanted, only what he thought she should want.  I'm so glad you liked the story and that it holds up.

Now this is what SHOULD have happened- too bad they didn`t have you writing the show  *sigh*.
Great peice. Totally loved the fluff (made my day all warm and fuzzy).
Though I had kinda hoped that they would get out of there before Angel showed up, but only because I still like Angel as a character (though clearly not as much as Spike) and the (albeit well deserved lol) bashing isn`t as much fun for me.  But then again, Angel`s attitude in this season irked me beyone belief (the end of Buffy too, where he`s all I love Cordy so much and I<m devestated that she`s in coma...but then hits on »Buffy a few days later when he brings her the amulet. I mean, way to be fickle! Not cool).
Anyway, there`s my almost a semi rant, and to get back on the point...great story!
This was my very first story and I was absolutely terrified to post it.  But I wanted Buffy and Spike to get together so badly and canon never gave us that.  I honestly do like Angel - when he's nowhere near Buffy.  He's not a bad guy, just not the right one for her, and when I wrote this, I was so mad at the way he treated Spike on AtS5 that I really wanted to whack him around a little.  I'm so glad you liked the story and that it held up!  Thank you!

I think this is my favorite story on the entire bloodshedverse, it`s written so emotionally and great , when Buffy cried, i cried :P.
I am the biggest fluff girl ever so the hole smack down with Angel, and Buffy and Spike singing to Lorne was muchly appreciated xD.
I have probably read it like eigth times, lol.
I can`t wait for your new fic =D.

Oh, thank you so much!  This was my very first Spuffy story ever and you wouldn't believe how scared I was when I posted it!  I was terrified that people wouldn't like it.  I hated the way the show never let them get back together and this was my attempt to do that - the way I wanted it to go.  I'm so glad you liked it!

"Gee, grouchy much?" Lorne remarked. "Guess we know what he’ll be doing for the next several days."

"Weeks," said Wes.

"Months," murmured Fred.

In chorus. "Brooding
ROFL. I so love this story!!!
Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you liked it!  It was the very first one I wrote.

Chapter 2         
"Ah, true love." Lorne sighed dramatically and with relish. "The two of you are going to be very, very happy. Trust me."

The elevator doors opened.

"Buffy!" Angel exclaimed in astonishment.

"Um...after a few speedbumps," amended Lorne and hastily backed into Wesley’s office, slanting the door half-closed so that it partially protected him.

Ah, so typically Lorne (and damn funny). Love your work and while this got a little too fluffy compared to your other perfectly brilliant fics, you still roped me in and kept me there. Love to you.
This was my very first story ever.  I'd never written Spuffy before and all I was thinking about was  wish-fulfillment of the way I wanted a reunion to go rather than the frustrating way the show left everyone hanging.  :D  So, yes, it was awfully fluffy!  I started thinking in terms of seriously writing only when the response to this was so good.  I'm so glad it still held you and that you enjoyed it!  Thank you!

Loved the story, just curious as to what song they started to sing was.
Thank you for liking it!  The song was from the 'Once More With Feeling'  musical episode on the show - the duet they sing to each other before the kiss at the end which sets off their whole clandestine affair.  The actual words are:
Spike:  I died so many years ago, but you can make me feel...
Buffy:  This isn't real, but I just want to feel...
But here Buffy changes the words because she loves him now.

Oh Nooooooooo Dreamweaver!! I'm done! I've read all your stories!! NOW what am I to do? I need more more more!!! C'mon!! New story time so I can get my fix!! :D................By the way............This story rocked! ~ Kelly
Thank you!  That was the very first story I ever wrote, so I'm really glad you liked it!  I'm just working on my next one now and hope to have that finished in a couple of weeks.

Yay! Claim, emotional outpourings and Angel bashing all in two (admittedly long) chapters. Buffy goodness at its best. Fingers crossed Wesley takes Spike's advice with Fred.
I'm so glad you liked it!  It was my very first fic and I was just blown away at everybody's reactions!  I can't help writing long chapters!  This was originally supposed just to be one chapter, maybe six or seven thousand words, and it just grew.

Chapter 2         
As with your other stories, I found this to be a great read.  I can hear the characters saying the dialogue and picture the action.  Love the use of humor and Wesley and Fred getting together.  Too bad Buffy and Spike couldn't have had such happiness when he really came back.
Oh, I know!  That's why I wrote this.  I hated the nothing ending that the show provided.

Thanks for the happy, feel good story.  I really loved the ending! 

"This is the best day," he informed the ceiling.
 

I could see this in my mind.  Great line.
I'm so glad you liked it!  It was my first Spuffy story.  I'm visual that way.  Stories come to me like a movie playing in my head and I just describe them.

Chapter 2         

This is the Spike and Buffy story I've been waiting to here. If a movie or show was ever made again I'd want this to be it. All the passion and love these two share they are meant to be together. Would love to read more of what happens when they get to Rome and after that.

Thank you!  I'm delighted that you like it!  I hadn't planned a sequel, but now that people have started asking for one, I'll have to work one out.  I'm in the middle of another story right now, but when I have that finished, I will work on going on with this one.

Brilliant...just brilliant!  Now I can imagine Fred avoiding the Illyria change and being happy with Wes and all of them avoiding Angel's idiotic suicide mission later....yes just brilliant.

Buffy put things perfectly to Angel about her "issues" and the impact on her life.  So very true.

Thanks for the best reading time in a long while.

Kathleen
In my head, that's what I wanted to happen -- Fred avoiding the change and everyone else avoiding the upcoming disaster.  I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!

Chapter 2         
LOL!!!  Love it, love it, love it!!!  Especially loved Fred "jumping" Wes's bones!!!  Now, you need to write an epilogue about the Scoobie's reactions!  Please??  Pretty please with Spike on top???
I hadn't even thought of an epilogue.  I'm working on another story right now, but I'll certainly look into an epilogue after that's done.  Who wouldn't want Spike on top? :D

"Let's see how many times I can make you scream before sunset." Ooh! This is good stuff.  I love less angst & more orgasms.
This was my very first Spuffy story and I was terrified to put it up.  I just wanted so badly for those two to get back together and canon never allowed it.  This is more a sketch that a real story with a plot, but the reactions were so good, I was encouraged enough to think seriously about writing and the next one had a plot.

Chapter 1         
OK, this is your last story. I've read all the rest. you gotta write more!!
and I noticed what you said about Buffy and the Immortal. Buffy wasn't actually with the immortal. It was a decoy.

In the comic she was going on a mission and she needed everyone to believe she was still in Rome..
I only have a couple of comics of that but last thing I read was she was in Japan, Dracula was working for her on the side of semi-good.
As you've written in your other stories, Buffy had started affiliating herself with demons and vampires that weren't as bad as the rest and I think that Buffy also started killing humans (haven't read that far) because she had almost eradicated all the demons with the other slayers. So the government got pompous and didn't want a superior race of women and tried to kill them and then she forced Faith to kill again and deal with wet works...

All in all, the comic isn't THAT great but it's still Buffy. I'm a loyal fan :)

BTW great stories!!
I'm definitely writing more!  My next story should be up soon.
I haven't been following the comics, except for the Spike ones, so I was going by TV canon in 'The Girl in Question' on AtS Season 5 for her involvement with the Immortal.  'Fated' was the very first Spuffy story I ever wrote and I hadn't heard of the decoy thing in the comics then, though I have now.  Actually I got the timeline a little mixed up as well, because in my head I set 'Fated' as happening just after 'Soul Purpose' when Fred hadn't turned into Illyria yet, but 'The Girl in Question' and the Immortal happened after Fred had.  I shouldn't have put in those lines about the Immortal, but I did hate Buffy dating him and how hurt Spike was, so I wanted to mitigate that.
I've been doing more research to keep things accurate in the last year, but I'm afraid the comics will never be canon for me, since I don't like the way things are going there from what I hear.  Slayers killing humans, for instance, even bad ones, just seems wrong somehow.  It's the difference in power, you see.  A super hero's powers should be used to protect not kill, which is why Superman or Batman hand human criminals over to the cops.  A Slayer killing humans comes too dangerously close to Slayers thinking that they are God.
I'm so glad you like my stories anyway!  Thank you!

What a phenomenal reunion!  The emotions between them are described so well, and your writing style is great.

And I'm curious: what's a hair shirt?

Thank you for liking it!  A hair shirt is what penitents in the Middle Ages used to wear next to their skin as a punishment for their sins.  It's a shirt made out of industrial strength burlap.  Must have been agonizing!

Chapter 1         

I cannot tell you how much I love this story.  You hit all my buttons with it dealing with Buffy actually grieving and why she didn't cry and Spike's insecurities.  You gave me the happy ending we were denied by ME and Joss.  I really love this.  Your voices were PERFECTION for the matured Buffy I saw and the Spike from AtS S5. ... dead on!  The sex was hot but more important it had HEART. Just lovely in every way.

I put you on my favorites list in hopes your muse will cause you to come up with more delectable Spuffy goodness.

Kathleen

Thank you for liking the story!  It's fantastic that you do!  I've read all your stories and love them!  I do have more that I will be posting over the next couple of weeks.

ok, let me just say this.  I read a lot of fanfic.  A LOT.  There's only been one other fic that made me teary eyed.  So bravo for being teh second. 

But she couldn’t stop. A hundred and forty-seven days worth of tears came pouring out of her, all the tears she hadn’t allowed herself to shed. She clung to him helplessly, shaking and sobbing, choking from the intensity of her weeping

Absolutely kills me.  I really REALLY hope she rubs the claim in Angel's nose.  Please???  Awesome!!!
I'm so delighted you liked it!  And absolutely I'll be rubbing Angel's nose in it.  I adore doing that!

Awsome I loved it but shouldn't Fred be Illyria at that point?
In my head, I'd set it just after 'Destiny' and Fred wouldn't have turned into Illyria for 3 or 4 episodes.  I was hoping that Spike's warning to her and to Wes would make them leave W&H so she would never turn into Illyria and she and Wes would always be together.
