Oh honey this is JUST PERFECT! I finally had a chance to read a bit last night and couldn't stop. Your voices are on the money as always yet you have managed to add some believable growth to Spike especially. I am loving your OC's too. They are well fleshed out. Julie and Bobby are vivid and I look forward to seeing where you take them as much as where our old favorites go from here.
You have taken the drek of the comics and moved it to a place that I can completely get behind. I am intrigued by the changes in Spike that he promises to clue Buffy in on later. The loss of Giles and the aftermath of that is spot on for each character and Angel's plight (sorry no real pity from me there not after the comic take on his "reasons") is fully in character for all. Makes sense that Faith is his keeper, they had that vibe before in series only in reverse.
Buffy and Spike are dancing around one another just as they most likely would be. It may take a while for them to get past the past and on to tomorrow but I know they will and in a believeable way in your hands.
Really an excellent story and I can't wait for more. Can we PLEASE force DH to use your story and storytelling skills in season 9? THIS is a plot I can follow happily.

LOL I'm pretty sure we can't force DH (or Joss) to do anything. Alas. But I'm thrilled this is working for you. I hope you continue to enjoy it. :)

I like all the interactions between the characters. Really good coversations...except for our stubborn couple. So, Dru found another little snack huh?
Love the Faith/Spike snark, and Buffy's little bit of jealousy. And now what is going on with Bobby? Is her Royal Nuttiness nearby? oh oh... Showdown soon I hope.
Looking forward to the next post. :)
Showdown soon. Next chapter, actually, but it'll be a day or two. Thanks for reading.

caught up with chapters 7 and 8 - love the way you have brought everyone together, feels like a big showdown is coming, and it could be between any of these characters - this is why I love this fic. Bobby and Julie are great original characters and everything melds together beautifully, so looking forward to the next update.
Thanks. I'm so glad you're enjoying it. And yes, showdown is coming... chance for everyone to shine. :)

Meh, Faith needs to keep her hands off Spike :O And Buffy needs to speak up like, NOW. Gah, this is making me all anxious, haha :)
Loved the cliff hanger :)
Loved the cliff hanger :)
LOL I think Faith is only kidding. :) But there's nothing like knowing someone else might like your guy to make you do something about letting him know you want him. :)
