Buffy seems to have coped.
Yes, but look at all she had to go through.

Thank You!

can't wait to see what she wrote...
did the end of ATS happen as in canon?
Oh, what teenage Buffy writes about in her diary.

Yes, right up 'til they started to run into the fray, and the screen turned black.

Thank You.

Not into country but I love this song by Garth Brooks. It's a perfect choice for this story, just perfect. Can hardly wait for him to see her again and for Angel to know just who it is that she loves. Really looking forward to this fic, thanks.
Not really into much country, but Garth is pretty cool. I also thought this song went really well with this story. You'll have to wait 'til the end to find out what's really going on.

i like the start but plz dont do one sided fic where its written like spike has absolutely no reason not to go rushing to buffy, and in this case while she's on a date, ignoring that said date is a far cry away from the 'normal' life that shes been bitching about. there's way to many of those and they ignore alot of what happened between spike and buffy. i mean really after a the crap *both* of them did to each other and how buffy treated spikes feelings towards her and always avoiding them in the last season, is it really that suprising that spike didnt believe it when buffy told a dying man exactly what he'd been desperately wanting to hear for years, especially after she blew him off about 'the best night of his life' shortly before he goes to help her only to find her snogging angel.

plus, even if he wanted to believe it bad enough to go right to her to try to start up another relationship, i cant really fault the guy for being squeemish considering how screwed up their last relationship was and how well that ended. especially considering that she admits that 'She'd lashed out, gotten angry, as was always her reaction when something involved Spike.' yes spike is such a nogood bastard for avoiding jumping back into a pattern that led him to nearly rape the woman he loved.
So not what I'm doing with this idea.

It's nothing like that. The whole lashed out thing was just a knee jerk reaction to the secret that Andrew had been carrying around for months. She was hurt and it made her angry.

By the next morning she was totally over the whole angry thing.

No Spike wasn't a bastard. He was protecting his own feelings. Hell I get that. The last thing he wanted was to return to the abusive relationship that had occured in the last year.

And there will be a sequel to this. Where Spike gets to share.
I'm not going to do the one sided deal. My brain went with Buffy first, and then started having these little well what would Spike have done. Don't worry I'm going to tell the story from both perspectives. Just not all in the same story.

oooh, now i'm very interested to see what's in those diaries...excellent writing, love :)
I've had this idea nagging at me for so long. Last Sunday I finally found the plot, and wrote five chapters. The only thing is I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the right songs for each of the chapters.
Using country songs, I'm not too fond of, but most of the rock songs I come up with seem more like what Spike would be writing about. Soo, I have to hunt and ponder over it. Maybe I should've just done Spike instead of Buffy, but that wasn't where my brain was going with this.

Anyway, I'm glad you like it so far. Hope it keeps you riveted.
Don't worry about Frying Pan, new chapters will be up at least twice a week, this will be updated as I find the right songs for the chapters. So this one may take awhile.

Thank You!
