My absolute favorite chapter so far, just so you know. Very touching, love how they get to explore one another in this. And very realistic, too. I love this story!

Promised you a longer review:

Finally,*I* was beginning to get frustrated from William and Buffy's UST. I think that you made a good decision by not making the scene completely pornographic. It fits the general romantic/sensual tone of the story. Buffy can be incredibly thick when it comes to knowing what she wants when it comes to men. Usually, I think she struggles between being the Slayer and being a girl. Buffy doesn't hesitate too much with William, but I think that that fits the story: Buffy's been removed from her life as the Slayer, and she starts making decisions as just a girl in love without having to worry about if the world will end because of it :)

Oooh!....I think I just got a chill! UB, you are very likely to be the devil....
How did you find out? I am indeed the Dark Master of the Under Realm. Muwhahahaha!!! :P

Oh, no! Of course it *would* be a bad omen ... can't wait for the next chapter!
Well, you know what they say...life's a bitch and then you die. Not that I'm saying anyone is dying, but still...

I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks for the review!

Poor William sorely needed that --as did Buffy! Nice touch of foreboding.
Poor thing had been waiting thirty-one years for it, so I'm sure you're right. lol

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Buffy actually made it right--that poetry spouting hussy. I love the so very Victorian assumption he made--that she would *have* to marry him. Now, of course, is where everything falls to pieces. It has to with foreshadowing like that.
lmao. Poetry spouting hussy, I like that. I think that's one of the big deciding factors in William sleeping with Buffy; he thought it would guarantee that she would not change her mind about marriage.

Beatiful chapter. Just please....let them have some more time together. They definitely need the joy of planning a wedding and some more loving nights. Glad that you mentioned Spike in this chapter. It seems that our dear Buffy was paying attention to Spike's physique back in old SunnyD...*WEG*
Oh, Buffy would have had to be blind not to notice Spike's beautiful body...even if she doesn't want to admit it.

I can't make any promises of blissful romance, but I hope you do continue to enjoy the story. Thanks for the review!

This was good! It was sweet and lovely! To bad William had to get sick after losing his virginity. I just love this chapter! I can't wait to see what you've got planned next! :D
Well, I wanted it to be realistic, and I think after all that alcohol he would have been sick. :P

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me so.

Great chapter. Only time for a quick note right now, but I'll write more later.

I'm glad you liked it IB...and I'll hold you to that longer review. lol.

Ominous!

Still really enjoying this.
I'm glad you are. As always, thanks for taking the time to tell me so. :)

Go Buffy and get your man. I am so glad that she got through to him and he asked her to stay. And she didn't just jump at the chance to sleep with him but tried to make sure this was what he wanted. I just can't wait for the next installment.. Love it..
Thank you, letitia, I'm glad you liked it. :)

I cried like a baby over the last two chapters. Just thought you'd want to know. Saying I love this story is like saying Shakespeare is a good writer. Please ease the angst of my mind and update soon!! Oh, and don't think I missed that little bit of foreshadowing, UB!!
I'm glad you told me, Lindsay. I'm glad I'm conveying the emotion in a way that is real to you. And I'm so flattered you like the story that well; thanks for telling me so. :)

Whew - I thought I was going to faint. That was so beautifully romantic and now you're going to rip William's heart out, aren't you?

Sighs.
Maybe, maybe not...but I'm not saying a word about it. You'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the review. :)

*sigh* Reads and rereads...maybe one more time...
You're so sweet. Thanks for the review. :)

Excellent chapter! This is a bad omen for him, that was great! Thanks for having her stay so he didn't think it was a dream. I'm hoping that you're letting her stay with him a little while longer. Will she be wearing his bracelet while she goes back home? It would prove to him that she was real. Thanks for this wonderful fic.
Thank *you* for continuing to review it. I really appreciate the feedback. :)

Lovely and passionate and so foreboding. This can't end well.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it despite its foreboding. :)

Bad omen indeed. Poor sweet William who has tasted heaven to fear the fall. Lovely update.

What a lovely way to put it. It reminds me of Paradise Lost.

Thanks for the review; I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. :)

Have just caught up on your wonderful story. I love it... just beautiful! I love your William, so sweet and shy and yet with so much of the vampire we know and love already there just below the surface.

*chews fingernails* With a sense of impending doom, I look forward to seeing where you go from here!
I'm so glad you like it, Always. I hope you continue to do so, even in the advent of doom. ;) Thanks for the review!

02/26/2007 10:20 pm
I think you just like to torture us.
That was wonderful...up til that ending!
Torture is my forte. ;) But I'm glad you're having fun anyway. Thanks for the review!

Beautiful chapter! I can't wait to see what you have planned for the next!
Thanks so much SanityFair. I'm glad you like it. :)

Well....it happened better than I expected. And I was all ready to be relieved, and then you get ominous with that last sentence!! Evil writer, you! No bad omens when our pair is finally engaged!
The path to true love never runs smooth...

Oooh, freaky ending. I've loved the last three or so chapters, this is my favourite fic, and has been since you started it.
Thank you so much, Terra. I'm glad you liked the update, and I'm really flattered my fic is your favorite. :)
