I have to say I really like your characterization. You've even got Angel right, down to how their relationship might be, unlike a lot of Spuffy stories. I hadn't even realized this was a Spuffy story until I looked at the top of the website and read what you wrote about him earlier. I'll go on reading it anyway, even though I tend to have my doubts when seeing Spuffy.
No offense, but if you don't like Spuffy, or believe in it, then why are you reading BSV? We're all Spuffy here, hon, so if that isn't a pairing you like, you might want to look at another site. :)

Thanks for the compliments.

Was hoping to find more of this posted, but enjoyed re-reading this chapter nonetheless.

It feels good to know that Buffy has already gotten a "perk" of her new position in that she feels more grounded. The Council was always *take, take, take* from the slayer ~ she never got anything but grief in return from them. Already the Guardians are kicking ass!
Sorry - Between some real life stuff, and finishing a novel, I haven't worked on my fanfic much. I will be getting back to it - just the muse temporarily pointed in another direction.

I like this story so far. Can't wait to see how the story develops and with Buffy being a Guardian.
Thanks! :D

oooh, this could be interesting...wonder what kendra would have been like if they'd tried to help her fit in rather than simply making fun of how she was...hmm....can't wait for your next update, love :)
I liked her. She was sweet, even with the Council training, and a really good Slayer. I actually found her fighting more believable than Buffy's.

Emergency! I am out of story, having devoured every available word. Need more story stat!

I am really enjoying this story. Love the plot and can't wait to see what happens once a certain blond vamp appears.
LOLOLOL

Thanks so much. I'll do my best to get more out soon. A lot on my plate right now, you see. :)

Wow, I just started reading this story today, and it's got me hooked. Good mysterious setup: the immortal Slayer, the Guardians, that vampire who's killed two slayers...hope he shows up pretty soon!
Yep, we'll get to Spike's entrance pretty soon. Just have to make sure Buffy can keep Kendra from staking him on sight! Well, she could try.... :D

I am so happy this story is still going on! Great introduction to Kendra. Angel was always more in love with the image of Buffy than the actual girl- if you could call his condescending obsession love. I can't wait to hear more about the older Buffy's plans in having Buffy become a guardian.

Spike. I know we have to work up to it, and Kendra might get in the way, but I can't wait to see Spike. How will he and Buffy act together? Can he fall for her without seeing that 'beautiful violence' she was capable of as a fight? Buffy could still learn self-defense and have some cool moves! Also, I really want to know his answer about why he didn't drain Nikki on the subway car.

Please write more soon! Loving it.
I think it was just as much a "puppy love" for Angel as it was for Buffy. Crushes fall off fast, as we all know, when the idealized vision of the object of our affection fades away. But, he's already been thinking about how she should have a normal life, deserves that life, now that she's not a Slayer. They had doubts enough as Slayer/Vampire, so Vampire/Human works even less for the self-doubting Angel.

OlderBuffy's plans will be spelled out indirectly through the Guardians, since they'll be guiding Buffy step by step. You have to be careful when you change the past. :)

LOL, I don't think I'll be getting to the Nikki fight, but Spike will definitely be made to notice Buffy. And I think her mind will remember how to protect herself, even if her body is less capable now. We'll get to late Sept. soon. :D

Thanks for all the feedback.

Thanks!

Happy to read the update! Yup, same ole Kendra! Excellent voices all round...Angel the amazing disappearing vampire included. Wonder how long before he gets interested in stalking....er....helping Kendra?

Yay, people are still reading! *whew*

Thank you, hon. Nope, no stalking of Kendra for Angel. I have different plans for him. She's not really his type, anyway. ;)
