What an interesting premise you are working with - I really like how you have changed her history and how you are using The Guardians.  Very glad that I started reading this as I have always wanted to read a story with The Guardians.  Very surprised that the FF writers have not done more with the Guardians - seems like a great way to do something new with the Buffyverse and Spuffy while keeping the connection with the TV Era. 
I hope that you are able to update your work regularly - I am totally hooked in.

 

Just found this story, but I love it! That was actually something that bothered me on the show. If when she drowned and Kendra was called how did Buffy retain her power? Didn't really make sense, she apparently was dead long enough to call a new slayer so shouldn't the power have left her?

The "battle scarred immortal Slayer" has to be Buffy right, she did say she wouldn't have to dive off the tower again? And she is trying to get this Buffy and Spike together. 

Can't wait for an update.

This was rec'd by the inimitable Moscow Watcher over on TWoP and I'm so glad I checked this story out.

I *love* the premise, and am very excited to see how this develops. I hope it's a loooong ride, but I'll be happy with however much you deliver, whenever you deliver ~ I've read thru Chap 8 and this is 7/9/07, I haven't checked your posting dates or anything, but I pray this is an active fic.

Thanks for sharing you talent!

I was linked to this at the forum at Television Without Pity. I have to say, this is a really inventive and fascinating story so far.

Oh! Interesting development! Future-Buffy?

Well done, btw! :D

loved it so far, will keep checking for more.

lovely twist. very good read, thank you.

AHA!!OUR Buffy has done a bit of time travel methinks. Excellent update. Really enjoying this look at the Guardians. Fascinating group barely touched upon.

oooh, this is getting really good :) loved the update, thanx, love, i was beginning to wonder if it'd been abandoned ;P lol

Ah - I was wondering how Spike would get involved now that Buffy is not the slayer. Just picked this up and had to read quickly to get up to speed. Interesting and intriguing concept - can't wait to see what else you do with it! :)

Interesting. I liked it.

Alright! I only found this story recently, and loved that I could read through without the long breaks between chapters that can be torture. Chapter 8 is wonderfully crafted, with a fascinating way of young Buffy reacting to Spike, as the Slayer of Slayers. I'm sure meeting him will be amazing! Though I'm biased, in love with the idea of Spuffy, and I hope being a potential might have some affect that could give Buffy, as a Guardian, a little strength with her own knowledge and experience, so she'll be able to 'dance' with Spike. This story is so realistic and well-written, it just drags me in. All the points draw from the show with minimal changes to help the background.
I hope this story can move forward, as I can see Buffy maturing already. And what about everyone's favorite vamp hottie? Love how Buffy could notice that, especially while watching him fight! And I always wanted an explanation, in his own words, of why Spike didn't feed of Nikki's body. I can barely stand to wait for more!
