Wait.... this is all melancholy and bittersweet. Does Spike make it back in time to see Buffy's face? Did Buffy get with Riley? So many questions are rolling in my mind right now.

You took something relatively small cannon wise and totally flipped the scrip on everything Spuffy. I appreciated how everyone got on team Spuffy on their own (well Giles needed a little more convincing but he's stubborn that way). And Spuffy as vampires sound like they can rule Sunnydale, as peacefully as possible, together. I sooo love this

I sooo wasn't ready for their not to be more chapters after reading this for the better part of two hours I was sooo confused when I didn't see a next but to that's how good this is. On to your story I love how you went cannon adjacent no one is out of characters and you managed to introduced people from Angel"s team to a gir that never watched the show while it being natural. I know its been years, but I sooo hope you'll come back one day and finish this story.
I know I'm months late in responding to this, but thank you very much for your review. I never intended to leave this story where I did.
But there are going to be new chapters now. :-) Not sure if you're still around here, but I'm officially back on the case.

The reread I did just now was sooo worth it. I love this sooo much still. I love claim fics and I can't say I ever seen one that was a hesitant relationship and it's freaking amazing. I love the mackshift bond Buffy and Spike are making that's sticking to being realistic and adorable. Can't wait to see more. OK and did I welcome you back?
Thank you. Claims are and remain one of my favorite fanon tropes. And I have some different ideas about how to explore their claim that weren't apparent when I started writing this.
Thank you. It is awesome to be back.

This is one of the best ignoring all the craziness of the season Buffy resurrected stories I've ever read. I love how it's cannon but not and Buffy faced her own demons, plus some others and won with the help of Spike. It's crazy, it made me cry, but I'm in love with this.

OMG!! OMG!!! OMG!!!!!!!I literally have been reading this and all the stories that came before it since like yesterday and I stopped in my reading to say you are a fantastic writer. I seriously couldn't sleep wanting to know what happens next. The characters are all phenomenal, totally real (even though Casey's death sadden me), just unbelievably fantastic. You kept me guessing hanging on the edge of my seat driving me crazy. I'm sooo glad I found this series, I'm new to this site and I'm sooo happy I thought to look at series first.

Just when Spike thought he could hide it longer lol. I honestly can't believe this is your first story it's sooo good. You kept everyone in cannon, fixed the wrongness of Season 6 and you put Spike in the Scoobies all without him and Buffy not getting together let me tell you I can't recall reading another story that has done this. Great story and I'm happy you gave Spike some friends even if two can't technically talk.

I've been meaning to read this story for forever and I'm glad I finally stayed up late to do it. I love the sense of adventure you give and how drawn in to this story I was. It's a weird compliment, but I don't think I've read a story featuring so many other point of views that flowed like this. I didn't have to wonder what was going on with the other characters and I really appreciated that. Plus the way you build up the trust is all to the good in my book. I'm sad now that it's over.
P.S. who was in the car following them?

I couldn't even begin to the you how much I ignored life to read this. It's really crazy because I'm not an Angel fan... I never even watched the spin off but with this story I didn't feel lost or confused I just got it. I love how you included everyone in this story and watching Will grow up is sooo awesome. Which is another crazy thing because usually I don't usually read Spike turned into a human stories. I think the best thing is that this is different it wasn't Spike waking up one day as a human, it was Will getting to be the William Spike always longed to show. I'm happy I gave this story a chance and can't wait for more. I've never been so impatient for a Spuffy reunion in my life.
