Coming Back Wrong by dreamweaver 12/23/2010 06:12 pm Spike...very insightful as always. Loving it now that Buffy is listening more and she's appreciating the personality that she refused to see before. Also appreciating the fact that Buffy is owning up to her part in repressing Spike's inherent joy of being. She really squelched him those last two seasons and I wanted her to realize that. I haven't read the Season 8 comics, but what I've heard about them horrified me. So I had Spike express my reservations, because he always saw things clearly. Gill B 11/18/2009 11:37 am Lucky, lucky, Buffy... Another great chapter, Dreamweaver. How many chapters is this going to run to so I can prepare for it to finish? I keep getting invested in your stories (and one or two other authors) only for them to complete far too soon... Eight chapters - three more to go. I really should try for a longer one. But short has punch. I've got a time travel one that looks like it has the potential to go long if I can figure out a way to keep the intensity. Thank you for liking my work! 11/18/2009 06:57 am hmmm. .are you sure you don't want to revise your gendre description which reads "with some plot". There is lots of plot, great plot, fabulous plot!!! Glad to see Wesley, Willow, and the potentials are on Spike's side. And Vi's welcome was sweet. And Xander is open minded; yea. But I kind of miss the old Giles; this Quentin Travers Giles is a scary bad guy. You did a really good description of the sparring/fight scene between Buffy and Spike, too. i'm never quite sure how to label my stories - my porn has plot, my fluff has angst and the angst fluff. *g* The 'with some plot' seemed to cover all bases. Yeah, I miss the old Giles too - I was hesitant to write a S8 story because I knew it would have to involve a dark Giles. I'm so glad you liked the fight scene! I'm trying to learn how to write action believably. Thank you so much for liking the story! 11/18/2009 05:14 am Dreamweaver, another masterpiece in progress! I love reading your work for its unique plots, but also because it's so true to the character flaws and problems from canon, and really showing us how these characters in their lives could have changed things. Even when you put them in totally different situations, their feelings and responses are very real and their thoughts give great insight. Oh, you got it! Thank you so much! I was just insulted and screamed at by a person on the Spuffy Realm who accused me of Angel and Giles bashing. But you've seen exactly where I think Giles is at at this moment in time. My stories are my attempts to celebrate characters that I love and explore even their flaws to show how they might or should change. If I treat them harshly sometimes (Giles here, Xander in 'Running Wild') it's because the story requires it to demonstrate some concept or the other - the next story might reverse things. Where they are in their particular arc or time period is what matters. Thank you so much for seeing and enjoying that! calminthechaos 11/18/2009 04:47 am Awww! I seriously have a tiny tear in one of my eyes! This chapter was amazing! I'm glad to see that Spike's condition is at least being helpful by opening Buffy's eyes to the situation. I also liked the conversation Buffy had with Wes. I could definitely had seen that as a part of original canon. I can totally understand where Xander was coming from, and was glad to see that he didn't start up the 'let's hate evil Spike' bandwagon. I really hope Giles isn't going to do anything stupid again like when he and Robin conspired to kill Spike. But that would certainly add to the intrigue you've created! Loved the deadly dance they got to perform, and hopefully we'll have some yummy Spuffy goodness coming up! I like Wes. He made mistakes, but they were honest ones, while he was trying to do the right thing. The loss of Anya has made Xander grow up, but Giles is being seduced by the new power that he has, which he's not accustomed to, and Ripper is close to the surface. Spuffy will be coming up. :D Thank you so much for enjoying it! 11/18/2009 04:40 am I loved the cute playfulness of Spike and Buffy fighting again. It was described perfectly and makes me wish the show had continued exactly like this because seeing it in my mind is just not enough! I also loved how it took a little bit of sad but hopeful turn towards the end. Its almost a complete role reversal from season 6, something i would have never thought of! I look forward to a new chapter each day! Awesome work! I'm so glad you like it! Thank you! I would have liked to see the two of them sparring on the show too. 'Harsh Light of Day' showed them fighting and it was a rush. They're so evenly matched. I thought the role reversal only fair and that Buffy would grow from it. Thank you for enjoying it! Spikestussi 11/18/2009 02:09 am I am a terrible reviewer. If I knew what to say- I' d write Spuffy and not just read it. :-) all I can say is that I am really enjoying this , as I do all of your writing. I waited all day for this to be posted and it was worth the wait. Now I have to start waiting for tomorrows post. Thanks for your lovely work. Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! That's a plenty good review to me - especially nice when I just had someone on another site insult me and scream that I'm bashing Angel and Giles. (That's the way they both seem to be to me at this point in time.) I'm so relieved you're not offended! | |||
