Thank you!

Couple of things you should know.  One, I don't review a story unless I've read it more than once, usually more than two or three times.  Two.  I don't generally review new authors.  Rarely, if ever, actually, unless the story strikes me as. . . well, as if there was some potential for something better than what a whole lot of newbies are posting.  Three.  Not a real big fan of WIPs, unless I know the author.

On the other hand, there's you.  And a couple of other authors, most of whom have become good friends.  This story caught my eye because of the title (I'm a huge fan of the Psychedelic Furs and most especially this song) and I had to read it.  You hit a lot of my buttons with this story -- changing the way Buffy came back in season 6 and what went on between Spike and Buffy and also what happened with the dweebs sorry, the Scoobies.  I'm not a big fan of Willow and Xander and I think they both needed multiple blows to their heads.    I confess to reading this, not once, not twice, but three times and also, going back and reading specific chapters over and over again, waiting for you to update.  And here I sit, finding myself reading this again, for the fourth time (and I never do that with a new story) and I felt I should let you know how I feel about this story, and really all your writings.  Don't worry, I'm going to review as I go along, but I just wanted to let you know what I'm thinking.  I'm really sorry that most of the awards sites are gone, because this one?  Deserves an award.  And if I can find an awards site that's still running, I'm probably going to nominate this story (Just so you know).

Keep up the wonderful storytelling.

Thank you ever so much!

I really hesitated for ages before delving into fan fiction. I had loved writing fiction back in high school, but when my (now ex-) boyfriend treated as a big joke, I became really shy about it, and basically stopped writing fiction at all for about 25 years. (Yeah, I just hit 40. Sucks to be old.)

But then last summer I discovered Buffy for the first time (I was in grad school when it was on the air, and I watched nothing that wasn't a microscope), and I was HOOKED. The characters just completely got into my brain, and wouldn't leave. So I started reading fan fiction. Ok, I got slightly obsessed with reading fan fiction. The whole 'what-if' idea just struck me. What if x happened on the show? What would the result be?

So I finally decided to brave the waters and plunge in. I have been enjoying it so much that I would probably keep doing it even if no one reviewed me at all. But to know that, hey, I wasn't crazy back in high school, I was a decent enough writer, that really heals some old wounds.

So thanks again for the support! I know absolutely NADA about awards sites, but if you are moved to find one and nominate, I would be honored.

Poor Spike...grieving plus the added burden of wondering about his sanity. Very well written chapter!
Thank you!

this is an interesting take on bargaining, very original, which is much appreciated. Looking forward to more.

Thank you! I was worried that it had been done before!

excellent start - you are spoiling us with a new fic already!  Thanks!

Thanks for tuning in again Mazza! Can't guarantee how rapidly the chapters will arrive, but I'll try not to keep you in suspense too long.

I am already in love with this fic! What a wonderful and interesting premise. Please update soon. 
Thanks for the review. I'm a big fan of 'what if's', so let's see what happens...

Good start!   So nice to have a new Spuffy writer aboard.  I look forward to checking BSV for your work.  And now a new story!  Buffy fading in and out from Spike's view makes it very difficult for Spike.  Makes things more interesting.
Spike is going to have a time of it, I must say.

Glad you like it so far! Thanks for the review.
