Hopefully I'll soon have some reviews
that the readers here have posted to add. For now, here are some
of the reviews that the story has received at other sites.
I've tried to pick some that don't give
away too much of the plot for those of you who might not have
read any of the story before.

It was awesome. I love the riley blowing up and Anya and Lorne Getting Married. That was great. I love how you tie up all the loose ends and give everyone a warm fuzzy feeling in the end. Thanks

Another knockout-great story from you, TOS. This was so much fun & there's too many super bits to mention them all, but I just loved Lorne in this *esp. his wedding attire* Lol at the tutus. I've enjoyed every bit of this whole story. Thanks for writing.

Sigh. Just wonderful. I like the way you handle soulless, chipless Spike, and the way Angel helped Spike. Thank you!

I loved every word of this story! What an emotional rollercoaster.. you had me laughing, cheering, crying (both happy tears and sad), and smiling! Too many wonderful moments to try to pick out just a few but I must say I loved the ending... Anya and Lorne now that's just gorgeous! Spike giving Xander a flogging was definitely a cheering moment and Buffy catching the bouquet was just lovely! Thank you! *hugs*

The ending is the way that I wish things had really gone. But then I have to remind myself that this is a television show and there are actors who are paid to say what other people right. It's not real. I tend to do the whole reminding bit a lot.
Anyway...This was an excellent story. Every single characterization was dead-on.

on chapter 6: My favorite buzzcocks song, *and*
joy division! I also enjoyed ( and sadly related) to the new/
old goth discussion. Though my own black w/ burgundy streaks days
date more from the velvet coat and satin corset days... sheesh,
do I suddenly feel old!

I know you know that I loved this story. I won't
go into detail because I've mostly done that throughout the chapters,
but suffice it to say it's a favourite of mine.

just to say - I loved this story: it's a dead good read, and really
really well held together. I loved Spike in the goth club! and
I thought your Spike-Dawn and Spike-Anya relationships were lovely.
I hope you do write more - maybe you could try a Spike/Anya fic
while you're experimenting!

I'm usually a silent lurker type, but I had to say how much I
enjoyed this story. I thought the characterisations were wonderfully
accurate and the plot particularly inventive. Can't wait to see
what you do next.
Anon.
First off; favourite lines:
"That's another myth, there are no flower
fairies. A deliveryman brought them from the florist's."
Totally Anya.
"Morality is simply the attitude we adopt
towards people whom we personally dislike." Were you reading
"An Ideal Husband" at the time? I always seem to incorporate
the stories I'm reading while I'm writing something. On the quote--
Very deep. Although it's obviously not yours, it was perfect to
put there.
Btw, thanks for putting in some bad-ass Spike
(as requested) even if it is only Emotionally-Unstable-Frustrated-to-the-point-of-being-bad-ass-Spike
Spike; It's still nice.
Great description of Clem as being "nicer
than most of us have been." I seriously think (with the exception
of Tara), he's the nicest person/thing on the show.
"His tenderness to his lover, was often seen
as potential weakness. This is possibly what forced him to indulge
in such savagery in other areas." Makes a whole lotta sense.
In fact, your whole "thesis" makes a ton of sense. I
can tell that this stuff has been sitting in your brain, fermenting
or something, just waiting for you to pull out the "Spike
Behaviour Theories" file and use it.
"However they make use of him when they find
it expedient." So true, but... Ouch.
Excellent chapter (as always), but probably the best one in a
couple. The story's really starting to warm up again. I'm sitting
here stupefied at your writing just wishing that someday I'll
be half as expressive. You're not overly superfluous, but lyrical
enough to draw a pretty picture.
Once again-Phew
