Her Way by dreamweaver

Chapter 5         
I love this Buffy who gives zero fucks what anyone else wants for her or from her. There were so many times in canon that I just wanted her to tell people to back off or go to hell when they were making demands of her. Even with family ad friends, being the slayer is probably lonely and I think part of the appeal of Spike is that it means she does not have to be because he accepts part of the burden. I love the ending to this, the idea that her goal all along was the claim so she could use his protective instincts to get him to protect himself.

I love your works of fiction!!! They are bloody brilliant and how I've dreamed things would end since Joss fucked over our sweet Spike! Epic without being a million chapters long, the perfect pick-me up after a long night
Thank you so much for liking my work! I too hated the way Joss made things go, so all my stories are about giving Buffy and Spike a happy ending. :)

This was wonderful. So well written, such a tight plot. And such tight porn.

Utterly yummy and also thoughtful.
Thank you!  I'd just done 'His Way' and I started wondering how Buffy would handle things if she was the one to go back in time.  I'm so glad you liked it!

Another amazing work.
Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you enjoyed it!  After exploring how Spike would change things, I wanted to see how Buffy would react.  :)

"making that little side-to-side wriggle that she found so touching, settling himself within her thighs, making himself comfortable"
and so you have writ a very charming, interesting adventure of the slayer and her vampire. 

I never read these--time travel is too much work with the what ifs--this story though and the follow-up are both so very delightful, sexy, and yes, you've made love of them, with them--Buffy with balls is awesome and as she should be--Spike accepting his tender side and being a bad boy--excellent combo! 

Thank you for the stories and thank you for all your hard work.  Truly appreciate the care with which you have presented the beloveds--their voices, their mannerisms, and their lives.  Done well--more please.
I had just done 'His Way' which was Spike going back in time and then I wondered how Buffy would have dealt with the same situation.  I love that dichotomy in Spike - that tenderness and the bad boy.  I couldn't resist playing with the bad boy side in my three longer stories.  You're right, the 'what-ifs' can make things complicated.  But I like to keep that part of it simple and concentrate on their emotions, which is where the story really is.  I'm so glad you liked it!  Thank you!  And that I got Buffy and Spike right.  I love them so much I would have hated to get them wrong!

 Love how you write both Spike and Buffy. I especially love how strong you make Buffy.
I never thought it was right that canon made Buffy so strong when fighting demons and so weak emotionally, unable to hold out under pressure from her friends or even to understand her own self.  I like a strong, self-aware Buffy and so I write her that way, even when she's all Denial-Buffy and making tons of mistakes.  Thank you so much for liking it!

That was so amazingly brilliant! I loved the ideas you put forward such as their “love at first sight” and the morality theme you put into place as well. That settles it. This is definitely my favourite story… I kinda have a rank lol. I also loved the Spike version of yours in “His Way” and also your other story “His Girl”, which are both in my top ten. Brilliant writing. Ten million gold stars for you!

Oh, thank you so much!  I'm so glad you like my work!  I adore writing Spuffy and I'm so happy you like my versions of Spike!  I'll be posting a new story within a few days/

really like how you get so much effect from your short pieces - am enjoying very much reading your stories -
Thank you!  I'm delighted that you're enjoying them.  I think the effect comes because I see each story in my head like a movie or TV show.  Watching BTVS, AtS and Firefly taught me a lot.  Joss is brilliant at compressing dialogue and action for maximum punch.  I'm trying to learn that.

I just found this, and have to say........WOW!!!  I loved it!   Please, please, say you'll do a sequel?  Or a series?  Please?  I cannot wait to see more.  Like, say, how Giles reacts to this?
Perfect 10!!
I'm absolutely delighted you liked it!  So many people asked for a sequel that I'm working on one right now and hope to have it up soon.

Ya know, I thought that I liked "His Way" a lot, and I really really did!!!  But "Her Way"  knocked me out of my chair!!!  This was a fantastic little story!!!  Any chance of a sequel??? Watching all the Scoobies spazzing out would be so much fun, and finding out that they can't guilt trip or manipulate Buffy anymore would be the most fun of all!!!  :D
Thank you!  I'm delighted you liked it!  So many people asked for a sequel that I'm working on one now and hope to have it finished soon.

This story is fantastic! I loved the new take on the going back in time theme. Is there any more to this story? Maybe when the scoobies find out, or on Angel trying to fix Drusilla?
I'm so glad you liked it!  So many people asked for a sequel that I'm writing one now.  Hopefully I can get it completed as soon as I can!

Oh no!!!  not "the end"! 
I just stumbled on this story and read it through, even though I should be working.  You can't have this be the end!  Maybe an aftweward, of little vignettes of how stuff changed? 
Or more real chapters?

please!!!!!
Oh, wow!  Thank you for liking it that much!  I am writing a sequel and hope to have it up soon.

That was brillant!  A really wonderful retelling of the events and of Buffy fighting for Spike.  I love that you didn't character bash anyone either in order to make this story work.  It was so wonderful to see Buffy so confident and go after what she wanted.  Thanks for posting.
Thank you for liking it!  I'm a new writer, so it absolutely blows me away when someone likes my work!  I try not to character-bash, though I have whacked on Angel and Xander a couple of times in my other stories.  Can't help it!

Awesome!!!

I'd really, really, really love to see a sequel of this. All those reactions and Buffy having fun with them instead of grief :)
I hadn't planned a sequel, but everyone is asking for one.  So I'm working on one now.  Thank you for liking this!

Oh wow!  That was AWESOME!  Loved everything about it--the story, the dialogue, the characterization, the intimacy (made me pant a little)--great job!  And thanks for posting the whole story at once.  I sat and read the whole thing and smiled the entire time!
Thank you so much for liking it!  I always post completed stories because I'm too insecure to let anyone see it before it's done!

Amazing; sad it's short, since I now have to wait forever and a day for your next story, but still, very, veerrryyyy good; can't wait for more; thank you again!!!

Oh god!  That was the sexiest porn I've ever read.  *wibbles*  Well...I don't know about ever, but good lord!  HOT!  So good. 
Thank you!  The show suggested bondage was wrong and I wanted to show that it could be fun, with nothing wrong about it.  It sure was fun to write!

03/13/2008 02:24 am
Chapter 4         
Guh.  That's all I have to say.  Guh.  Congratulations; you've whited out my brain.  Thanks very much.  Guh.
The show seemed to imply that bondage was wrong, what with Buffy being ashamed and trying to hide her handcuff marks from Tara.  And there I was thinking: 'Hey, what's so wrong with it?'  So I wanted to show how much fun it could be!  And, hey, that 'Something Blue' scene with Spike chained up in the bathtub certainly did give a lot of women naughty ideas!

Chapter 3         
"You know what your perversion is, Spike? Gentleness. That’s your perversion. For a vamp, that’s perverse."

Truer words were never spoken; so so true!  Amazing chapter; off to read the next one; really enjoying this Buffy's view of her relationship with Spike; she's looking at it with no blinders, and it's soo refreshing!!
I wanted one story with Buffy with her eyes wide open singlemindedly going after Spike.

Wow...I really like where this story is going.  Buffy is so sexy and confident...far from how she really was in S1.  Her interactions with Spike and hot.  Great voices for each of them.  Loving this story.  It's unique and I'm hooked. 
I'm so glad you like it!  I thought that this Buffy, twenty-three years old and knowing exactly what she wants, would be sexy and confident.

Chapter 2         
Oooh, hot hot hot; LOVE your Overlord rules; it's an awesome way to keep the peace b/n them and let them work out their relationship; absolutely loved the Disney reference; hilarious!!!  Can't wait to read more!
I was worried about the Overlord part because it's not canon.  But it was the only way to keep this Spike from keeping on trying to kill Buffy.

Hi ! I loved your stories : Her way, His way and Changes, what a good writing especially the characterization (?) of Buffy and Spike. But a question remains : what about Dawn ? All of your stories elude her but doesn't she still be in their memory ?
Thanks for your writing though !

P.S : sorry about the mistakes but I'm french, so....
Oh, thank you so much!  I'm so glad you liked all three stories!  About Dawn - all three stories take place in Season 2, so she won't arrive for almost 3 years.  Both future-Spike and future-Buffy do remember Dawn, but she won't be an issue until she actually arrives.  'His Girl' is set at the end of Season 5 and 'Awakenings' at the beginning of Season 6 and so those two stories do have Dawn.
P.S.:  No mistakes.  I wish I could speak French as well as you speak English!

a definite change in the way she did things. very good beginning, thank you.

Nice timing, Xander!  Really good job!  Could I BE any more sarcastic???  Hope this is a good long one, if it's your last until you get more written; looking forward to the next chapter; another time-travel one!!  You know me too well!!  LOL!!
Love time-travel!  I'll probably be doing more.
