You should find the form below simple and easy to use. If, however, you have any problems or any suggestions as to how to improve the system please let me know by using the site feedback link at the top or bottom of the page.


 

Okay, most of my other stories already had reviews I could put up before I even started this site. This is the second one that won't actually be appearing anywhere other than here or The Crypt at least till it's finished at which point it should appear at Sinister Attraction (unless of course anyone else wants it), so I'm relying on you good people to send some feedback like you did for Ring of Fire so that the page doesn't look bare and pathetic. You'll get a nice thank you.

Wow!  That was an intense one.  I love the scene you set up in the field in their shared dream...your descriptions were so beautiful and evocative.  I also loved the emotional intensity in Buffy and Spike's discussion of the type of world their relationship has to survive in and how time is always against them.  Thanks so much for the frequent updates too!! :)


Josephine

Doesn't seem like they're going to get much time to relax! Great start to the next roller-coaster!

boy, talk about your frequent updates!  You are certainly making up for lost time these days.  Poor Spike and Buffy; hope you give them a little bit of a break now.  It occurred to me that most of the events in this series have happened of the course of just a couple of weeks.  And I thought *my* life was busy!

I loved the Faith/ Wesley interaction.   "Really? And yet you had no problem spilling it on the floor?  What's past is past, Faith. I'm not saying it's forgiven and it's certainly not forgotten but it can be laid aside."  You really seem to me to have a good handle on Wes' character.  Since he's my hands-down favorite of the MOG I'm truly enjoying watching him in your world.  I can't wait to see where you take this story next!

*beaming encouraging vibes your way* -- thanks so much for another wonderful chapter, but tell me, please tell me, that Spike's really going to be alright?


Elizabeth

Another chapter, your fingers must be getting tired!  Thanks for updating.  Looks like Spike is on the mend, always a good thing. Nice job, looking forward to more.


Josephine

A fitting place to pause for breath. Great ideas, and I love the way used things from the series for your own ends.

would have loved to see the conversation between the fang gang and wes and bee. I can just see her telling off angel and connor for being so rude. hopefully the cure worked for spike and he'll be back to himself in no time. great work.


Sarah
26 Feb 2004

Hello!! WOW!! Great chapter...I am glad that Spike finally got better!! I know this story isn't done yet but I was wondering if you are planing another one? I'm bein' nosey!!lol


RevDorothyL
25 Feb 2004

Kudos on another tantalizing chapter.  Will Wes and Faith ever make peace?  Will Wes and Angel?  Dawn and Faith?  Giles and Angel?  Will Spike's cure work?  Will somebody punch out somebody else in that house before the evening is out?  Can't wait to find out!


Elizabeth
25 Feb 2004

Good chapter, looks like some interesting Giles/Angel and Wes/Angel conversations coming up.  You captured the Wes/Faith tension well, could definitely tell there's history there.  Well done, more please!

Just finished reading chapter 4.18, and wanted to let you know how much I liked it before I go back and read it again. (Particularly cute is how the dog has bonded to Spike. Oh well, the Big Bad image is continuing to crumple.) Karen in CA

Hi!! Another great chapter!! can't wait for more!!


maryann
25 Feb 2004

great chapter. I'm can't wait for spike to try and get giles and angel drunk. that will make for a hell of a chapter. I hope spike gets well soon, we haven't had any spuffy lovin' for a while. keep up the good work.


Elizabeth
23 Feb 2004

Thanks for posting yet another chapter!  Nicely done. Interesting that Angel and Faith have shown up, am curious how long they will stay.  Nice touch putting Wood in the psych ward (hopefully in a tight straightjacket!).  Thanks again, looking forward to more.


maryann
23 Feb 2004

Nice chapter. I'm glad spikes back with his family. Not to sure i like faith there, but i'm sure i'll come around to the idea. I like that wood is going to the psych ward, hopefully he'll be there for a good long while. By the way, are you saying that Bee and Rosa will never be able to have kids because there both part demon? keep up the good work and update soon.


zanthine
22 Feb 2004

Yeah!  Holden!  I imagine it's only a cameo, but I'm still glad to see him.  And I like your blood donation solution: I remember wondering about that the first time I watched season 3!  Thanks for the frequest updates,

HI! Another great chapter!!  I can't wait for more,but I will!!LOL...Keep up the great work!!


Josephine
22 Feb 2004

Hee hee. Kind of appropriate for Wood! Good chapter.


Kate
22 Feb 2004

Very cool.  I love this chapter!!  The scene at Wes' house with everyone - Buffy, Spike, Dawn, Giles, Faith and Angel was so great with all its multi-layers.  Buffy & Faith's history, Buffy finally having Spike back, Angel's history with Wes and amongst all that tension and issues you managed to weave some great humor into the scene - a wonderful Buffyverse characteristic.  And I *love* your inclusion of Holden at the end - so fabu!!


KT
19 Feb 2004

Thanks for keeping the chapters coming.  I was glad everybody mobilized to help Spike.  Even Xander was less of an ass than usual. I've always wondered why he can just walk into a house without knocking -- especially a house populated by women, one of whom is a teenage girl! Can't wait to see what will happen next.


Josephine
19 Feb 2004

Hooray! (Seems like an appropriate comment. And Xander trying to get things right - good to see.)


Rebecca
19 Feb 2004

I've been reading this story from the beginning...it must be insanely difficult to have kept at it for so long!

These cliffhangers kill me! Barbeque Spike has me concerned!!!!!!!

This continues to be one of my all time favorite's and you continue to be one of my all time favorite writers.


RevDorothyL
17 Feb 2004

Love it!  Can't wait to see the denouement.  Thanks so much for writing this.


Elizabeth
17 Feb 2004

Wow, another chapter so soon, good stuff!  Hope this is the last we'll see of Wood for a while, if ever.  Nice way to let Buffy in on Spike's location.  Looks like the group's just about out of this latest adventure, am curious what you have in store for them next. Thanks for the update, more soon please!


Michelle
17 Feb 2004

I absolutely love this story.  It's one of the best!  Thanks for all your hard work on this.  It is much appreciated, and please, please keep up the good work.


Sarah
17 Feb 2004

HI Again!! I am reviewing another great chapter!! I needed it after hearing that Angel was getting cancelled...No more Spike..but I have your stories and reruns and DVDs to get me through!! Thanks for this chapter!!! It was just what I needed!!


maryann
17 Feb 2004

WOW! Wood got off way easier than I would have let him. hopefully he takes the hint and leaves town. But knowing him he probably will be out to get everyone now, and not just spike. Hopefully they get spike back to that demon doctor soon. i love dawnie telling xander off again at the end of the chappie. keep up the great work, I Can't wait for more.


Kate
16 Feb 2004

Look at you - these chapters are flying.  Thanks so much for that - and your muse!!! *bg*  I *loved* the scene where Buffy comes flying down the stairs with Spike's location - Wes' reaction was hysterical. :) :)  Great confrontation scene with Wood.  You captured the Scooby sense of family perfectly and mixed in the right dose of Buffyverse humor.  Really excellent chapter!!


messy
15 Feb 2004

Hallo there, long time no hear :P I've just read up a bunch of chapters altogether and by the chapter 4.13 I was sure you were the First; but then I read the following and I thought " thanks God, I really loved her style!" So,now that I assured myself of your still-human status, I can tell you that your story is still very much worthy the time of this (me) very Spuffyfan reader ;-) I mean that sometimes when series get so long they somehow lose the interest of the reader; not you though :D Now, I'm not sure if to let another bunch of chapters to add up or keep up to date!?!? I dare to ask you, how many amazing chapters will there be to read till the end? If you still don't know it's ok, if you don't want to tell me it's ok too; but if you don't mind me knowing and you'll tell me it's better :P Love, messy


MaryAnn
13 Feb 2004

Great chapter, Evil cliffhanger. I hope buffy finds spike in time to help him kick woods Ass. The man needs to be put in a mental institution, it's easy to see that the guy has lost all his marbles and is completely wacked. I love bee, never even occured to me that she might be a demon. I wonder what happeded to giles and tara, we've never seen this happen on a spell before. And good ole xander being mister righteous (sp?). Thinking he know's all, and never does anything wrong. God I hope someone just bitch slaps him soon. great work, update ASAP; i can't live long without another chapter:)


Barbara
13 Feb 2004

Yeah!  An update, and so soon!  I've been out of town for the last couple of weeks, and it was great coming home to so many new chapters! 

I like how you're working characters and situations from season 7 into the story, and I'm really enjoying your original characters.  Especially Bee! I wouldn't have guessed that she was part demon, but it makes sense.  I hate to say "update soon", but you left the story hanging.  I mean, I'm pretty sure Woods won't kill Spike, but that ending is pretty evil!

Thanks again for all the hard work you put into this story and site,

barbara


Elizabeth
13 Feb 2004

Another chapter so soon, great!  Nice job, looks like some Season 7 reminiscing going on with Wood and Spike in a room full o' crosses.  Am curious how Buffy will find them.  Thanks again, will be waiting for more.


Josephine
13 Feb 2004

Good for Wes, using his head. And, Spike's not doing too badly in the intelligence stakes either. Looking forward to more.


Sarah
13 Feb 2004

Hey! Me again!! I just wanted you to know that this was another great chapter in this fantastic series...I can't wait for more..Hope you are feeling well!!


Elizabeth
12 Feb 2004

Nice chapter, still reading and still reviewing!  Am wondering what's in store for Spike now that Wood appears to have him.  More soon, please!


MaryAnn
12 Feb 2004

Hi, I'm so sorry I haven't updated for the last six chapters (hangs head in shame). But my computer died and I had no access to the internet for almost an entire month. But as soon as I got back you were the first website i visited. These chapters are excellent. I so glad spike isn't dead. I still can't believe Xander, trying to say the demons drugged his drink. He so immature, that he can't even live up to things that he knows are wrong but does them anyway. I hope something happens to make him see the light that not all demons are bad.  keep up the great work, I love this story.


RevDorothyL
11 Feb 2004

Hurray for the loyalty of the animal contingent, as well as the dawning realization that treating Spike like pond-scum is NOT okay and is as damaging to HIS soul as it is to the soul of the person doing the abusing. 

Because of that, I forgive you for giving me heart failure with that scene at the beginning -- I knew there had to be something wrong there, but wasn't sure you weren't planning to emulate Mutant Enemy and do some resurrection mojo.  Thanks for keeping me guessing, as always!


Kate
11 Feb 2004

Yay, I love my girl.  Thank goodness Buffy wasn't fooled by the trick. *bg*  I so love Bee...she cracks me up: "Look pretty." lol  Plus, she makes a whole lotta sense.  More soon...what's going on with poor Spike? :(


Sarah
11 Feb 2004

Another Great Chapter!! I was glad to see another one so soon!! Can't wait for more!! Keep up the Great work!!


Josephine
11 Feb 2004

First, you had me confused. Then I realised I'd just missed a chapter - don't know how. So, I read the earlier chapter, and then you had me worried. Very worried.

Gripping stuff.


Elizabeth
9 Feb 2004
Wow, I'd hate to see what you'd do if you were REALLY mad! :)  I solemnly swear (holding up right hand) that I will review every chapter from now on...:) I've been reading all of your updates, that's one heck of a cliff-hanger in the latest chapter.  More soon, please!

Rev Dorothy L
9 Feb 2004
Please, please, please make Spike better soon (all the anxiety and stress is just not healthy . . . for ME).  Well-written, as always, but that's what makes it such a torture to read about the characters' sufferings.  At least now, hopefully, Bee will stop beating up on Giles (verbally or physically) every time she sees him.

Nightwind
9 Feb 2004
Eep! I realy dislike the way the first tends to play mind tricks, but excellent portrayal, I hope you will update again soon, I hope Buffy doesn't fall for the First's trick/trap.

i_digress
9 Feb 2004

Heh, yeah, you are evil - but I like you.  And seeing as you asked so nicely, here's a review. 

Sorry it's short but it's late and I'm brain dead. I'm liking Bee more and more.  Strong but willing to apologise, bright but far from stuffy.  Yeah, definately a keeper. Another example of how good you are at bringing in the original characters and expanding the roles of lesser canon characters.

I'm not panicking about Spike.  Mainly because I really doubt you'd kill him off at this stage but if you did that you'd find a way to bring him back. And partly because of the whole First instruction to Wood and the cameras and other trickery.  But hey, if I'm wrong, it'll be a pretty original end to a fic of this length and Spuffiness.

Still reading, still loving, still (occasionally LOL) reviewing.  Thanks for coming back to this story and for keeping it going.


Kate
8 Feb 2004
Ack...what a chilling ending  - meanie!! lol Great conversation between Giles and Quentin.  How can you not love a Ripper-esque Giles? :)  And it was even better that Bee got to see that side of him.

Sarah

"Rupert showed his disdain for the vampire's tirade by sitting down and licking his genitals."

For that line alone, you deserve thanks and affection from all your readers. Priceless (especially out of context)! Keep up the good work, and PLEASE let Spike be alright, soon!

More tension? We need some resolution. (No, we don't really NEED it, but it'd be good for my poor heart.) Hope you're able to update soon.

What can I say about Spike? Even in his current state, he's still thinking about the people he loves, even if he has an unusual way of showing it.

Oh, and I really wish I could actually see Anya calling Xander on his behaviour like that. I thoroughly enjoyed that bit. I can't help thinking she's about the only character who could do it. Willow just wouldn't, and Buffy - well, Xander feels perfectly comfortable with telling her she's doing things wrong, but he's not so much into listening.

Thank you for continuing the story. I very much liked this chapter. The Buffy and Willow scene was really touching and the ending was very scary. Especially the spooky "imaginary" Buffy.

I also like the new layout. I found the earlier layout a bit hard for my eyes to read. The brighter backround image in the middle was a bit distracting. Much better now and a very good idea to use scalable fonts too.
Thank you :)


Rachel
7 Jan 2004
Yay! I'm so glad to see you back and with a new chapter in your series! :) And this chapter definitely did not dissapoint. Can't wait to see what you're going to do next with this story. Keep up the great work, I love this series!

sweet sweet review! (wipes away tears of joy) I'm so glad your back. this chapter was great. and poor dawnie's about to be eaten, I hope spike doesn't feel guilty for too long. She's gonna go right to his hips. anyway keep up the great work and update soon. I love all your stories and can't wait for more.

I love the whole series!!! I printed out every single page fo every single one!!! I printed True Colors out, then Ring of Fire and now this one!!! Update more often PLEASE!!! Finish the whole story... though, I want more on the series... just update more... I want to make it into a really good book... For my personal reading... Thanks for writing such a great fic!!!

Great to see this being updated again! And I love the new look.

Great chapter, and a likely villain - I never did like him. Glad to see Willow coming around a bit too.

I just recently discovered your wonderful stories about Spike and Buffy and have read through them all. I even printed out "Ring of Fire" and took it with me on my Christmas trip to read on the train. They are all wonderfully written and so enjoyable to read. I do hope that you will be able to continue writing this series. They are all such terrific stories! Thank you for writing them.

Hi there,
I'm buisy for days in reading your story(ies). Yay! I say I love it so far. I'm almost up to date. And now I'm glad that you update so regulary. TNX.

13 Nov 2003
wow, i never thought I'd see the day when even joyce was mean to spike. I feel so bad for him. I hope willow will give buffy something useful to help spike. I can't wait to see why that guy from london was calling giles. update soon.

Josephine
13 Nov 2003
Oh, poor Spike. Not enough you torture him with physical ailments, not you're toturing his poor mind too. Still, you're going to make it all better, aren't you?

The last scene was so painful - and written well enough to really hurt.

This chapter was awesome! I loved the shared dream buffy and spike were having. I've been waiting to see how Willow was going to come back into the story. I can't wait to see how buffy reacts to the news. Update soon.

Elizabeth
05 Nov 2003
I have read a lot of BTVS fanfiction over the past couple of years, and this series is one of the best out there. I love how you've developed Spike's character since the beginning of "Spike's Will Be Done". (Don't we all wish we could find someone out there like him? --*sigh* :) ) You've done justice to Buffy and the other characters as well. Excellent work, and keep the chapters coming!!

Kate
04 Nov 2003
Love it!! This is such a great series. Ack...the blood, of course!! I love how you strung us along with the possibilities of who it could be hurting Spike. Too many options for me to even take a guess. Can't wait to see how this plays out or the Spike-Buffy shared dreams. Thanks for the constant updates too.

Chapter 4.04:
It's been a little slow actionwise for awhile, but it seems to be starting now. Good to have Giles back and I hope he can see how good Spike is with Buffy. Loved the talk between Wes and Giles. Tose were pretty much my thoughts about Angel too.
Very nice to see how everyone wants to help Spike. I also love the way Tara is part of the Summers family.
Xander and the cookies earlier :) Very funny.

Keep up the good work.

Another riveting chapter. I hate that Spike is suffering, of course, but I LOVE the "circle the wagons/take care of our own" treatment he's getting from the gang. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Maryann
03 Nov 2003
great chapter. I loved the little speach wes gave giles about how he truly believes spike loves buffy. And how he's cooler than angel. I can't wait to see who it is that's hurting spike. update soon.

Still reading and still loving it. Bad Emma for not reviewing more (gives self mental slap).
The party chapters were a joy - I especially loved the interaction between Bee and Giles. Heh, still trying to decide which is my favourite Rupert.
Your Spike is as vivid as ever and I thought the moments between him and Buffy through the last 9 chapters were spot on - the latest section with the claim jealousy was great. And it's good to see that Dawn is recovering from her ordeals and that she's keeping Brandon on his toes.
As always I'm looking forward to more.

Kristin
28 Oct 2003
Oh... that was just awesome. I can't believe that you were worried about this chapter. You resolved it so well. Buffy's 3rd person speech was inspired. I just can't say enough. I can't. Just love your gift, sweetie.

“Wha’? You drink blood out of a cup, it’s bound to get a bit of air in, now and again. Gotta come out somehow. You tellin’ me old poker-hair never burped in front of you. What was he? Master of the Silent Fart?” Lily took his mug from him, refilling it using the second pack of blood from the microwave.

Buffy couldn’t help but smile at the idea of Angel trying to look serious while he clenched his butt cheeks to avoid letting rip, but she still felt obliged to defend him in his absence. “Old poker-hair, as you call him, never drank in front of me. Not blood, anyway, and now you mention it, I’m kinda struggling to even remember him drinking coffee.”

My poor computer screen. Spit bubbles all over the place, on a polarized screen. Thank you for making me laugh out loud... couldn't restrain it, didn't want to try.

Love over-protective, big brother Spike, and Buffy's gentle laughing at him for it... loving the demon families and little Rosa and still waiting for Willow and Xander to get their comeuppance.

Fondly,

Andrea

Very nice. I like the stoned Xander!! Keep it comin' girl. I really appreciate all the hard work you are putting into this, I hope you know that. At this point I almost feel like you are writing it just for me. I know that you're not, but it's a nice thought anyway.

I thought chocolate was poison for dogs? I guess there's not enough chocolate in the cocoa used to be dangerous, though, and I love the image of the puppy and kitty curled together. But Spike! What have you done with Spike? So cruel to tantalize us like this!

Maryann
03 Oct 2003
This chapter so kicked ass. I think xander should get stoned more often, it actually makes him a somewhat decent person. I was laughing out loud at xander trying to hook up Clem and his wife. I also liked Giles and Lily getting along with each other, I didn't really see that one coming. I also have a suggestion for you: Bee and Tara. Bee can't keep a man and worships cats, Tara don't want a man and loves the kitties as well. They would be so great together. I hope nothing to serious is going on with spike. Update soon.

I think I should protest about the cliffhanger. But then, the picture you painted of Xander is just about enough to earn forgiveness, provided we don't wait to long!

Kristin
02 Oct 2003
ok, what are we going to do with Xander? He was able to control himself and came across nice enough during the introductions, but he won't eat the food? This is the man that would eat a jelly donut off the ground if it fell. Tsk, Xander, my boy, you need help. Or we could just follow my previous suggestion and Anya could tie him to the bed. Oh well...

This is going great. I am so impatient for more, though. Keep up the good work!!


Maryann
02 Oct 2003
great start to the story. I loved giles talking back to bee thinking that she was talking to him. I can't wait to see what tara and lily are talking about. I have a feeling they could become real good friends. Still waiting for xander to make an ass out of himself. Update soon, the story just gets better and better.

Josephine
02 Oct 2003
Mmmm. Still feeling the urge to shake a little sense into Xander.

And poor Giles ....

Great chapter. I can't wait for this party, you've been building it up for so long I know it's gonna be awesome. I love all the subtle hints at the impending chaos: the cat/dog, pot brownies, xander, and more I probably missed. Update soon.

Oooh hash brownies, I can't wait to see who will get into those ^-^

Preparation, preparation. What I want is the party. The sacrificial lamb, and the eejit. I want to know how it all turns out.

Seriously, the preparation was good too. You've set the scene very nicely, now we need to get back to the action!

Poor Tara. I keep forgetting that she lost the most when they kicked Willow out. I love how spike is able pinpoint exactly why Willow is the way she is. I can't wait for the party. Update soon.

Kristin
25 Sep 2003
I love your Spike. He is exactly like what *I* saw in the character (and his potential) in Seasons 5 & 6. Please don't make the Orbs hurt him. I don't need that type of angst. I loved the interaction between Spike and Tara in this chapter. I also wanted to let you know that your Anya is the best. Her strength is impressive and I can't wait to read more. I check your site daily (and sometimes more often) for updates. Can't wait to see where we're going here.

Josephine
25 Sep 2003
Homogeneity! Now that's a word to conjure with.

Lovely feeling of 'family' in this chapter. Now, what should Tara get for Spike to thank him for the desk. How about a halo? After his chat with her, I think he deserves one.


Andrea
25 Sep 2003
Hey Tales!

This was by far one of the most beautifully written chapters in a long time. Spike's depth of understanding and caring for Tara was something else. Just wonderful. All part and parcel of why I am so in love with your Spike. He gets it. He gets everyone... and is still self deprecating. One day he has to KNOW his self-worth.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for Lily's party... wondering if Willow will crash it... or if Xander will boob it up again, either in error... or more likely with his xenophobic arrogance once more.

Waiting nicely for the next chapter. Popcorn ready. Visit Smiley Central!

Fondly,
Andrea

God, I love Anya. I hope xander realizes what he has soon, before he loses it all for good. And Rosa was so cute! I can't wait for more of her. Update soon.

This had me grinning so hard I almost cracked my face in two! Utterly delightful and hilarious.

PassionFish
22 Sep 2003
Ahhh...thats so cute - love that Rosa character.....actually I'm a fan of all your new characters - not many authors can add a new character to the fiction and have them meld in well enough for it to be 'realistic' but you manage it great!

Josephine
21 Sep 2003
Anya making me smile in a way that has nothing to do with laughing at her. Wonderful!

Evil cliffhanger-y chappy - wants more!

Mike Preble
17 Sep 2003
I've been devoted to your fic for awhile now. I'm certainly waiting impatiently to see how you recraft the beginning of season seven with Tara still alive, Wesley in Sunny-D, Wood unmasked, Anya still human, Willow on the outs & a certifiably less crazy Spike. If what you've written so far is anything to go by I expect it to be spectacular. Angel's confusion over Tara wearing Spike's coat was priceless. I can't wait for the next update.

Josephine
17 Sep 2003
Not liking the Spike-incapacitation. You've got me worried. I hope it's just what he suggested, and not a sign of something worse.

Brandon's reaction seemed realistic on the whole, but I could still feel Dawn's disappointment.


PassionFish
16 Sep 2003
LOL - I'm all giggly - it's thoses kinda chappy's that you wish that the Joss-world might have had a go at - because they add some major light relief! Loved it and can't wait for more...

great chapter. I loved spike acting all cool and giving his big speech. keep up the great work.

No signs of distraction, and I LOVED the talk. Particularly the last part.

I'll be brief, I love it when spike gives speeches and I really loved the phone call with angel in the last chapter. Keep up the great work. :)

I actually owe you a whole lot of reviewing, and this isn't going to be a real review, I just can't take it anymore.
"Buffy, something is obviously going on up there. I think maybe it's some sort of spell. Just please, don't let Spike sleep with anyone else before I get there."

DYING OF LAUGHTER HERE! Oh my, it was funny enough last chapter as Angel was trying to put it all together, and I was eagerly waiting for the phone call in this chapter, and you sure didn't let me down. Anyway, I've been reading your stuff since I first found Spike's Will Be Done, and I've totally enjoyed your use of characters. At some point I will sit down and write real reviews for your stories, this is just a quick little note to let you know that the much anticipated phone conversation was everything I could have wanted and more. Bloody hilarious!!!

Loved the latest chapter. It was just hilarious. Angel just can't seem to think anything but the worst about Spike. I can just see him in my mind when Buffy told him that Spike was sleeping with Dawn :) lol
Thanks for the Buffy pic earlier too.

PassionFish

Wow - I'm just so amazed - this is the first time I have ever read a fiction this long, and not felt like the author should have stopped a while back. I'm so impressed that you've had the perserverence to continue with the same storyline and not go off on to another fiction like so many other authors do......me included! I began this fiction originally on Fanfiction.net, but like so many other fictions I start there I wasn't able to keep track of it....partly due to the site's format...but mainly to do with my lazyness! I can't get over how wowed I am by this fiction - it's incredibly well written, keeps in character the whole way through - never once have I felt bored and wished the fic would hurry up - neither have I felt like too much has been thrown into the mix too quickly! Also - I love your British solidarity with your rating system - glad to see you haven't totally caved on the American system - I'm evil, I've done a mix of British, American....and the
n the funky channel five ratings! Back to the fiction - I love it - what more can I say?! I'm also soooo glad to find that the updates were recent - I was worried I'd gone and started another WIP that hadnt been updated for two years....and gone and got myself all addicted! You know what else I like - the way that you're using parts of the 'natural' BTVS progression, but making them your own (e.g. Wills magic thing, Riley Initiative thing, Robin Wood thing....to come!) It's great because the way you do it makes the whole thing easy to visualise - and very addictive! I'm going to try and put myself on your mailing list now! Also - maybe I should go to sleep - I only found your site three days ago - and since then I've been reading for about a total of 36 hrs! Can't wait for more........PassionFish xxx

Maryann
11 Sep 2003
great chapter. I loved anya telling xander off, and I also loved the confused angel phonecall. I hope clem's mom can 'read' xander when they all go over for dinner. Maybe she can figure out what's wrong with him. Do you plan on bringing faith into this story, I'd love to see her interact with the scoobies now.

Andrea
11 Sep 2003
Tales... you've got to stop... I have freaking laugh face from this chapter!

I would just LOVE to have seen Angel's expression, poor, perplexed vamp that he is... trying to suss out all that his nose picked up. Wait... I've been waiting to see ANY expression on his face since he first joined Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hee - Mr. two expressions, indeed. Seems as if you were trying to give him a run for his money. The note-taking was priceless!

Tara and the duster attitude... very cool. Anya berating Xander for his xenophobic attitude... excellent. Buffy and Anya becoming closer... about time. And just the thought of Buffy almost wetting herself over putting Angel on like that... with Spike as an accomplice... just too much. All in all, just a gorgeous chapter... and I hope you get more wicked thoughts like that, soon.

I'm gonna smile for hours over this,
Fondly,
Andrea.

I always enjoy a bit of 'clueless Angel', so this was good. And I like 'Bad Tara ' too...

Damn you and your addictive prose!
Keep up the good work :)

Maryann
10 Sep 2003
I'm loving the new stronger, more self assured Tara. I hope you continue to develope her character more. It's like she's finally realized that the scoobies didn't just accept her cause she was dating willow, but actually view her as family. I also loved wesley leaving angel inc. their "one book". I was really confused about the ending where wes gave angel a letter that wasn't making a lot of sense. But I'm pretty simple minded so it's probably easily explainable. Keep up the excellent work.

cherie

Hi

Wes and Tara in La La Land!

Very good!

I likes Tara with attitude and the cool factor of the duster infecting her!!!!!!

Angel what are you gonna do if you actually realise you are just a patsy for the PTBs????

Lindsey strikes again! Hmm wonder what the letter says- can't wait.

Okay Angel - he's making a list checking it
twice. And leaping to some really bizarre conclusions!

Love it
Keep up the excellent work!!!!!!!!

Josephine
09 Sep 2003
Maybe it's too early in the morning, but I'm as confused as Angel is. I assume all will be explained in good time, so I'm waiting and foot-tapping.

Having said that, the Gunn/Wes aggro was good. I've never worked out what Gunn's point in the show actually was.


RevDorothyL

Another home-truth I've been longing to hear someone acknowledge: this time Spike letting Giles know how much pain his abandonment of Buffy in season 6 had forced her to bear alone. Good to have it out in the open.

Josephine
05 Sep 2003
Smiling now. Loved the last line. Now, I've GOT to go and get ready for work.

Maryann
05 Sep 2003
I'm glad spike told giles what his leaving did to buffy. Now I hope Giles takes what he says to heart and realizes that he did hurt buffy emotionally and that he has to do something to fix it. By the way, if Willow isn't talking to anyone but xander, and xander is mad at buffy for his own stupid reasons, buffy only has dawn as a bridesmaid and no one else. What's she gonna do. Keep up the great work.

been a while since i reviewed. it's not because i haven't continued to love the story 'cause i have and i continue to read. liked the willow age warp. that's a good idea. and i had thought xander would have grown up a little by now. god he's a bully a wuss and a wanker and only continues to prove it. robin wood enter here. well this should be interesting. thanks as always for sharing your imagination. faithfull reader scrub1966.

Can't wait to see what spike has to say about Wood now that he know's who he is. great work.

Josephine
31 Aug 2003
Xander's setting himself up nicely to be used by Willow. And, a lovely introduction of our newest Sunnydale inhabitant. Now I'm looking forward to the bit where Spike gets to persuade him to leave. (I trust we'll get that bit...)

Maryann
29 Aug 2003
Great chapter. Again. I'm beginning to think you have some kind of magical little story gnome that keeps writing these amazing chapters of yours. I love how you have the whole dawn storyline, and willow storyline and everything else, yet you are still able to bring new characters like wood into the fray. I can't wait to see more of him. I'm still waiting for xander to have the big "spike ain't evil anymore revelation" but I feel that's a long way off. keep up the great work.

27 Aug 2003

Hi

Oh boy you are going from strength to strength!!

I just loved it!

Anya was the best - she is fab. I am thrilled how you have developed her character! Love her speaking her mind and saying things that have needed being said for a while.

Xander stop being lead around by your nose - The Willow Hag is miles away from the Willow who he met in first grade!
Also hello you have a wife, time to consider where your loyalties lie and also to put your marriage first.
One Spine and brain needed for Xander the prat!
Dawn - good speech - really do like where you are taking her. less of the whiney brat and more of a Summers woman - shades of Joyce and Buffy are coming through. Love it!
Poor Spike - can just see him hiding behind a tree clutching an extension lead and purple sparkely collar on the mutt! Oh the embaressment!
Tara the biker chick in a cool leather duster that is very familliar - brilliant.
Spike and his women - LOL!
Keep up the outstanding work - really loving FTE.
Thank you
Cherie

Interesting to see Dawn turning all that teenage whining and general disagreeableness (is there such a word?) into a reasoned rant!

Still enjoying, and still wanting more.


Maryann
27 Aug 2003
I'm so glad anya and dawn were able to tell willow a few truth's about herself. Unfortunatly, I don't think willow is ready to take the blame on her own yet. She's still to busy trying to blame others and rationalize what she's done. I hope xander comes around soon. I know he's torn between his wife and his best friend, but he really needs to stop and think about everything willow has done and stop making exuses for her. I can't wait to see what happens next, keep up the good work.

RevDorothyL
26 Aug 2003
In case I don't get a chance to post this review after you post the chapter, I just want to say that chapter 2.07 is EXTREMELY satisfying. I've been waiting a long time for some of those home truths to be spoken, and I'm so glad that Anya and Dawn get to have their say. Plus, I love the virtue rewarded in the case of the friendly shop assistant. You go, girl!

Maryann
24 Aug 2003
I'm so glad spike and buffy made up. And I can't wait to see exactly how much willow has "stolen" from giles, and what he'll have to say about it. Keep up the good work.

Tina
23 Aug 2003
Just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed this series and how the stories have evolved and become more intricate and involved. The characters and their speech and interactions are very cleverly constructed and believable, therefore the scenarios can be totally way out and yet it all still seems 'real' somehow. Love it, more please, soon please, seems like I'm just 'addicted to love'.

Josephine
23 Aug 2003
Hmm. Feeling a bit better. I'll put it down to all the tension post-Willow. Can't help but wonder if there's not an ulterior motive for this though. Just have to wait and see ...

He He He

I'm the first reviewer.

Phew! I really was sweating over Buffy & Spike.
As I said before AWWWWWWWW he is a sweetheart.
Love the reconciliation scene at the end - perfect!
Willow's naughty books and other "Stuff" are being found!! Oh dear bad bad girl - poor Tara.
Though Happy Giles he may recoup some of the money and magical good Willow nicked off him!
Keep up the fantastic work
Did I say I loved this Chappie?????

Thankyou!!!!!!!!

great chapter. I still can't wait to see what happens with xander and willow. I hope buffy and spike make up soon, I hate when they're not getting along.

Andrea
21 Aug 2003

Well, obviously Buffy is still Buffy... no matter HOW in love with Spike she is. Still a few mental gymnastics to perform and master. Eventually, I am sure she'll get there. Poor, dear Spike... still feeling inadequate... even when the fault doesn't lie exactly square on his shoulders.

With the full measure of time... I am sure they'll get it all right. Perfectly matched, perfectly mated... and if all the disagreements vanished from their relationship, I guess it just would be them.

Decent chapter, sweet Tales! Even with the disharmony.

Fondly,
Andrea

I love how spike considers tara to be one of 'his girls' and makes sure that she's ok and he'll always be their for her. He's so sweet. I hope your upcoming version of season 7 ends slightly differently. (no dead spike) keep up the good work.

Josephine
18 Aug 2003
Spike the thoughtful, eh? Always knew he had it in him, but he needed to feel secure enough to show it properly. Lovely S/T interaction.

Maryann
17 Aug 2003
This was a really nice chapter. I loved that little hint into tara's past about riding the motorcycle, I hope we get more about tara's past. I also hope we get to see wes go see the fang gang one last time while he's packing for his move to SD. I'm so glad we finally got some more spuffy lovin' in, I was starting to miss it. keep up the great work, you are an excellent author.

Josephine
16 Aug 2003
I know I've said it before, but I love your version of Dawn. She's true to the original character, but without the whingey bits (most of the time). And, I really like the D/W interaction.

Wonderful -- more Spike as paterfamilias. I love it when he goes all protective of his womenfolk (now including Tara and Rosa)!

You're doing a great job of filling out Wes' character. I've always liked what I've seen on Angel, but you're making him more three-dimensional which is great.

Kali

Do not apologize for the choice of song that goes with section two, it fits very well! (I suppose it does not hurt that I have a Rice/Webber soft spot.) Seriously though, if they are going to play musical domiciles, it is a good choice.
Keep cranking out the chapters, you have me addicted.

Maryann
12 Aug 2003
great chapter. I can't wait to see what happens next. I have a feeling willow is gonna try some more magic to get her way. And I can't wait to see how xander say's sorry to evie, for insulting her. keep up the good work.

Maryann
11 Aug 2003
Yay! xander chose anya over willow. He has finally seen the light. And then when willow called him it just seemed to confirm everything anya said about her was true. I still can't believe willow doesn't think she did anything wrong. I can't wait for her to try more magic, then get older because of the curse. I wonder what she will have to do to be uncursed. I kind of wish there had been more of a willow/buffy confrontation, but i'm sure there will be more. keep up the good work, this series of stories you've written are some of the best i've ever read and just keep getting better. Update soon.

Josephine
10 Aug 2003
Sweet X/A interaction, and lovely to see X not jumping to Willow's tune. Can't help but wonder if it'll last, though.

And, scary Willow. Almost more scary than dark Willow, because she still thinks she knows best for everyone.

Hi. I've been reading your series, starting with "Spike's Will Be Done". I was excited to see you had started a sequel and read all of "True Colors" as it appeared. Of coarse I then waited anxiously for each chapter of "Ring of Fire".
Now I am reading "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" and realize that it is my turn to participate fully in the writer/reader dynamic by responding to your stories. So here it goes:

I Love Them! I Love Them! I Love Them!

Well, I feel better now. Thanks again for writing such great stories.

I really love the story, or should I say series. It really has everything I could want. Fluffy, romance, drama, angst, action and adventure and very good balance between them. And on top of that: Very fast updates. What's not to like.
The fluffy chapters are great but the action/adventure ones are just intense.
The new Willow story arc was a bit unexpected but knowing Willow. Maybe it really wasn't. I very much like how Wesley was integrated into the gang too.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

PS. Glad to have Spike smiling at me for the review but I'd rather like Buffy's smile myself ;)

09 Aug 2003
I read your whole site in less than a week. You made me so happy. Your stories are so well written and you make me believe, that these characters are better than the ones I so love on Buffy. I might never need to see another show, as long as you keep Spuffy alive. Please send me any updates. But I must confess that even if you don't, I check everyday. Thank you.

Maryann
09 Aug 2003
Yet another excellent chapter. I can't believe that nobody has slapped willow yet. the way she just assumes she's more powerful than giles. None of us really have any idea of how powerful Ripper was in his day. Maybe, since cordy is a higher being now, she can zap willow to another dimension where she'll be tortured until she learns to respect magic. Anyway, I can't wait for the buffy/willow conversation. I hope buffy really lays into her. Update soon, and maybe could I get chapters that are a little longer?(please don't hit me). Keep up the good work.

RevDorothyL
08 Aug 2003
I'm in awe all over again -- I really appreciate your actually dealing with Willow's abuse-of-power issues, which got lost under the "addiction" label on the series. Can't wait to read the next installment.

Hiyah Sweetie

Gads this heat is killing me! Ok I have to say this!

YOU ROCK!!!!

I have enjoyed, as you know the entire epic. But at the mo' FTE is by far and away my favorite book so far.

Mystical Bitchslapping for Willow!! Fab

Tara standing up for herself both to Giles and Wicked Willow - Double Fab!

Giles , Giles, Giles yes you have missed a lot - you naffed off to the UK and left them all hanging. Love the complete and utter shock he has at Spike cutting back on the booze..

Willow - arrogant, stupid and extermely dangerous! Silly girl - As soon as she's awake, she is scrambling to cover up her mistakes and surprise surprise using magic. Arrogant girl "It was jealousy, pure and simple.." How on earth is anyone going to get through to her???

Go Tara - I am glad that she has had the guts to tell Willow off and also make sure that Willow is aware that she in NOT a Wiccan. Something that ME didn't make clear - but then again you know my rants on the subject!!!

Willow stuttering over the fact Tara heard her and Giles arguing - oops got caught with her true colours showing!

Everything Tara says including "The thats all folks" for their relationship - brilliant!

So much to say about this chapter - everything in it is perfect.

Likes the bit about Xander always being the last to know!Funny..

Love the Dawn line about seeing the Hag!

Good for Dawn kicking out the Red Witch!

Ding Dong the witch is gone...

More please?

TTF

Josephine

Great! The workings of Willow's mind were chilling. And Dawn was superb - and taking that particular task from Buffy was a masterstroke. (I'm not sure Buffy could actually have done it, even if she was determined.)

Maryann
08 Aug 2003
Poor Anya! I can't believe xander never put's her before anyone else and refuses to believe what she say's about willow. He's got to learn that willow ain't perfect, and not all demons are evil. can't wait for more.

Andrea
07 Aug 2003

Hey Cutie!

Loved the latest chapter... you've managed to make even the most mundane business of searching for a lost puppy adorable with our bleached duo. I am sooo enjoying them enjoying each other... such a rare comodity these days in fics.

Anyway - my favorite lines of the chapter...

She pulled an obviously reluctant Spike away from the younger couple. As they got back in the car the vampire mused, "I wonder how you’d go about training the mutt to growl at him every time he kisses her?"

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Why bother training the dog to do it when we’ve got you?"

Goddess, if that doesn't sum up Spike in a nutshell, nothing does. Overprotective to a fault... but loving. It's what was missing in canon... when they dumped the Dawn/Spike friendship after that... Grrr AArrgghh.. episode.

Hope the heat goes down in your neck of the woods and that you feel better. Slip the muse some ice in the back of her neck... she likes that!

Fondly,
Andrea

Sweet, a nice change of pace after the recent intensity.

Maryann

Great chapter. I can't wait to see willow's reaction to herself when she wakes up. And I really can't wait to see how everyone treats her when she wakes up and they know what she was trying to do. keep up the good work. And "Yay!!, puppy for dawn".

Andrea

Happy Tales to Me!

Hey, girl... lovely chapter. I adore Spike's familial nature coming to the fore with Tara. He's just a big puddle of big bad vampire pudding, isn't he?

I also appreciate Tara's standing up to Giles... telling him that if Willow doesn't deal with the consequences of her forays into magicks, then she will be totally out of control, and unredeemable. A cautionary tale for witches. Most cool.

Most of all... hae to thank you for being so speedy (yes, woman.. that's what I said) with your updates. Sometimes fics go unattended to for months at a time. You are most appreciated.

That said, can't wait for more, of course. It's an excellent read... as I am sure I've mentioned before. Still gives me a happy.

Fondly,
Andrea


Josephine
04 Aug 2003
Well, nice, caring Spike, and a comparatively hard-nosed Tara. And, I really like the idea of the proposed living arrangements - exactly what Buffy should have done on the show. Except, it'll just put Willow's nose even more out of joint, and I dread to think what'll happen now.

I'm finding this part of the plot fascinating, and I can't wait for more.


Josephine
04 Aug 2003
Nine chapters at a stretch, and it's after midnight!

The imagination you've shared with us in this latest part is really quite exceptional. The ideas are great, and the logic for things happening as they do is perfectly believable. Great start to this part of the story.


Maryann
02 Aug 2003
Oh, thank god the demon magically bitch-slapped willow. Willow deserves everything she gets and then some, trying to sacrifice that poor little puppy. I love Anya being old friends with the demon. And I still trying to get the mental picture of wesley and giles on a motorcycle together with giles wearing a neon pink helmet. keep up the great work.

Michael Preble
01 Aug 2003
More . . . MORE . . . GIVE ME MORE! That is to say I love the story, "Spike's Will Be Done" and everything that came thereafter, though it would be nice if you put them in some sort of continuity on the web page, though that's just nitpicking as the summaries did a pretty good job of telling me what part came next. Keep 'em comin', the faster the better, as long as it lives up to the quality of what's come before. It's great when I find fanfic well worth reading.

Great chapter. I'm still hoping they are able to get to willow before she does anything stupid. I also hope no one gets killed either (tara), because I can kind of see that happening as a punishment for willow from the powers. I loved willows mom, just like I remembered her on the show.

Hi!

Love it!

Double the Watcherly fun! Pull out the beers and settle down Kiddies Giles will be polishing his specs!
Love the tie in with PMAIR! Wonder what Travers will be cooking up next?

I want Wes as a neighbour - at least Spike will have a bolthole!

Oh Willow when will you learn that is not the White Wiccan way. You are gonna get burnt!

Keep up the fantastic work - get that Mojo going girl!

Thanks

Great chapter. I really hope they find willow before she goes through with the spell. I also hope they all line up to smack some sense back into willow, she's really losing control and has no respect for the people she loves. keep up the great work, I love this story more and more.

More gripping, well-written installments (though I feel like slapping Xander and givng Willow a good shake, at the very least). I guess we all make plenty of fumbles on the road to redemption, don't we? Can't wait for the next installment.

Double your watchers, double your apocalypses! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the meeting with Buffy and Spike.

Nice to see Xander suffering again for his damned bigotry, and blaming everyone but himself (meaning SPIKE) for what's wrong with his relationships, and pushing his nose in where it just doesn't belong.

And Willow... tsk, tsk, tsk... will that deluded woman just NEVER buy a vowel and learn that mind control is never the way to go to win friends and influence people.

Happily waiting for more. This 4th chapter is as intriguing as the 1st. Excellent work.

Fondly,
Andrea

Please, please, please don't let willow manage to do the spell. I hope she get's caught before it happens because she needs to face the consequences, if she goes through with the spell then all of the last "book" would have been pointless to read. Also, i'm confused about something, Is anya a vengence demon again or did she go back to being human? I also think a lot of xanders jelousy's would go away if he just talked to people about what he's feeling, like about jesse and how everyone forgot him. And what about oz, he's a werewolf but xander was friends with him. Anyway keep up the good work, and if you really care about me you won't let willow go through with the spell:)

Going from strength to strength I can't wait to see where Willow is going with her plans!
Go Tara kick her butt!
Fantastic stuff - loved the self involved Xander gradually drinking himself into his Dad. Poor Anya
More please

This chapter was excellent. I am so glad dawn told xander off. He seems to become more and more narrow minded everyday. Hopefully seeing all the pain dawn was in will actually make things sink into that tiny brain of his. keep up the good work, I'm so glad giles is back now.

How'd you get so wise so young? This chapter is just plain brilliant, and chock-full of wisdom and insight. Nice going!
:-) I had help, some wonderfully patient person who put up with me bouncing theories and ideas off her to get her opinion... I wonder who that was?

I don't know who to feel worse for, spike or dawn. Dawn for what the army did to her or spike for having to relive everything the army did to him and blaming himself for what happened to dawn. I'm so glad that giles is back now as well, I missed him.

I really like the way things are developing on all fronts, even though they're all going to have to work through Dawn's trauma together. Spike's dream, followed by Dawn's outburst -- too well-done for words.

Ohhh, poor Dawnie. Knew there were gonna be repercussions to her trauma... and of course, knew they were gonna impact Spike the mush more than anyone. You didn't disappoint.

great chapter. It look's like wes is gonna stay in sunnydale and I couldn't be happier. I'm glad anya was in this chapter, we haven't seen her in a while. I personally believe you can never have too much anya in a chapter. keep up the great work, can't wait for more.
