Great to read this one again - 

I've just been back for a re-read. Still one of my favourite Time Travel Spuffy stories.
Still wondering what Dru has in mind for Giles... and how the Spuffy relationship alters future events.

Fun piece, especially for the genuine touches of Victorian class and sexual culture. Good voicing, and (as usual) excellent plotting.

It was great reading this story again - It's one of my favorite of your works - I love how you used the Iniative machine to send them back to England and their encounter with the Angelus, Darla and Dru.  I liked all the elements you used - the subsidiary characters were just enough to make them interesting without taking over the story of Buffy and Spike.  

I didn't leave a review when I first read it, because I was so hungry for your next stories. Now, however, after having read them all, I can say this is one of my favourites. Great description of Victorian England, lovely Spuffy, fantastic characterisation (even if slightly ooc in case of Dru). Enjoyed it from start to finish and hope you do revisit it some day to find out how the Dru-Giles thing developed and explain the effect of blood exchanges on Buffy,
You tend to leave your stories not completely concluded, but luckily you go back to some of them (even after many years - "The Gentleman..."), so I hope this will be one of those.

Loved it!!! 

I am coming to the BtVS universe very late, but find that I am enjoying the fanfiction immensely. You are my very favorite and I loved this story! Please keep writing.

Oh, and the story's pretty good too... 

Giles and Dru?  mmmmmmmm....  Mr. Muse finds that so very exciting...

Runs off, grabbing pen and paper on way to garrett...


Blue....

Sorry about that last post v v.  What i was trying to say was Love Love Love this fic.  I have been away from this ship for so long, then i started re-watching the series and remembered how wonderful the Spike/Buffy dynamic is.  Got me wondering if any good fic still existed, and one my very first try I find this lovely gem.  Thank you for reminding me what good fic can be.

This is such a great Spuffy story - it was a pleasure reading it again your treatment for all the characters was excellent and I enjoyed their time in England. 

Great story! So original! I never read some plot during the past in William's life so well set in that atmosphere...Spike and Buffy devolop the love in a lovely way...and you have given lot of beautiful details as Buffy deffending his poet, how the rutinary life goes, how important is the Slayer believe in herself,etc.
All my congrats! I enjoy a lot reading you!

 

Lovely tale!  The appearance of Drusilla finding Ripper was a surprise though.   And I like your inferred message regarding the claim.

Hi there! Just finished this story and wanted to let you know how much I truly adore it. I'm not usually a fan of time travel fics, usually sticking to stories that take place in Sunnydale for the most part but when I saw you took them back into Spikes real past I had to see what happened and I'm so glad now that I read it! The characterization of Dru really threw me for a loop because it was such a great twist on the character and her devotion to Spike that she allowed him to go and be with Buffy instead of trying to take him back..almost made me wonder if she'd gotten her own version of a soul along the way because the Dru we saw on tv I doubt seriously would have been so 'gracious' about things, if you know what I mean lol. Simply a wonderful fic all around, as everything of yours I've read is, but this is by far my favorite.

That was fantastic. keep up the good work!

Great to read this one again - I was really needing a Good Spuffy fix  -

This really is my favorite story of yours. Thanks for treating Dru fairly, and for giving Buffy and Spike a real happy end.

I'm so happy I got to reread this - it is definitely one of my favourites.

WOW! That was amazing. I could definitely see a sequel, maybe? I would like to see Dawn enter the pic. Find out about when Spike and Buffy figure out about the immortality issue. Also, what happens between Dru and Ripper?

Great story :)

I liked that Dru marked Giles, it made my laugh. Glad it ended well.
Lovely story.

Oh I just love this fic. Spike having to relive his life as William, Buffy getting to know the real man, Angel getting staked at last, Riley getting his just desserts and lots and lots of Spuffy lovin'... just perfect. Thank you.
Then there's that teasing little hint at the end... so where's the sequel explaining the effects of the claim on Buffy's lifespan then?

This is a beautifully written story which enjoyed from beginning to end. Nice and angsty with believable characterizations and driven plot. Can't wait to read your next story :)

I loved this story. It was great!!! Sequal, PLEASE!!!! ^_^

how sweet...excellent ending, with a bit of an open-ender there...giles would make an excellent vampire i think :)

24: awesome chapter, very well done...i thoroughly enjoyed this fic, very well thought out with good characterization...and dru came through in the end...excellent story :)

I just read your story all the way through and enjoyed it very much, especially the bit back in time.

Although I was taken a back at the mention of shoe polish their last night in London, because I missed the initial mention of the shoe polish to tone down Spike's hair so he too could blend in to the era. I would have enjoyed the bantor and description of that scene.

Since I finished reading late last night I think I was too groggy to understand the portrayal of Dru's actions at the end. Was that a set up for a sequal?

Oh yeah! My guess is immortality to the Slayer (woo hoo).

I rather like Dru and Giles (would that be Diles or Driles or Gru or Giru???) if Giles could keep his soul...we wouldn't want another Angelus!

Lovely from start to end. I couldn't stop reading so have spent the entire day in the Spuffy bliss that only comes from wonderfully written stories by gifted writers.
Thanks

Kathleen

Hmm, does that mean she won't age? I just read this whole thing now and I'm really exhausted...lol! I stare at this computer way too much. I definitely enjoyed this story, especially when they were in the past. You wrote that very well. I admit that some of it was hard for me to get through, but I think I managed pretty well. Good job, as always=)
