Bio:I'm a 38 year old lawyer, mother of two adorable twin girls. I live in Guatemala City, Guatemala, Central America. So as you may have guessed English is not my first language, although for some weird reason I don't think I can actually write fanfiction or anything that isn't contracts in Spanish.

Excellent story! I'm enjoying it immensely and I really hope you update it soon. I love the way Spike and Buffy are acting with each other here and how you're merging the past, the present and the future in such a convincing way.

Poor Buffy and Spike! This chapter was kinda bittersweet; Something Blue is my favorite episode ever and your version was even better than the one in the show. You have me so addicted to this story, it's not even funny. Sorry I hadn't reviewed before but I've been following it for some time now and it has became one of my favorite stories so far.

Loved the last few chapters, sweetie! Very well done, especially this chapter. I just loved how Spike managed to gain the upper hand in this just by bluffing. Guess Angel is even less intelligent than he thinks he is. Can't wait for the second part of this, especially after your note at the end of the chapter! ;)
Author's Response: Angel is more full of himself than he really ever should be...Thank you so much for the review---really happy that you like it so much :-)

WARNING: You are not forced to read the prequels, because you’ll find a short summary inside! ;)
So, pleeeaseee, give it a try, it will be kind of fun!
Get ready for the most twisted and tortuous stuff , because my poor degenerate mind gets worse day after day..
* I EDITED the whole story, adding MORE SPACE, so now I guess it's more readable.. at least i wish.... *

I loved it, especially the parts with GB and ES. I just that couple, even more than the original couple of GB and LES. Not sure why, although it might be that I've always had a soft spot for Season 2 Spike and ES is more like him than LES is. ;) Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: lol, everytime you say that.. it's always impressing! ;) I adore you and you are always so very nice and kind with me, aww! Lol, I can't tell you when I'll update.. since it's up to you, lol! a big hug and good luck with FwF, but I saw it's a very success!!!

I finally got caught up with this wonderful, original and refreshing story and I'm loving it very much. It's interesting and I just love the twist that in this case, Buffy is the one that loves more. Christopher and Annette are so endearing. And Reagan is a wonderful friend. I can't wait to read how Spike and Buffy are going to rescue Annette.

Oh, poor Anya and poor Buffy and Dawn. It must have been very difficult for Buffy to separate from Dawn, hope they can keep in touch. I really don't like Liz and I like her less with each passing chapter. Can't wait to find out what's going to happen now that Buffy will have to go to protect Liz and Dawn from the Immortal and what will happen with Buffy and Spike. More, please?

Heh, yes, Liz's reaction was quite funny. I just love your Dawn, she's much much better than in the series. And I can't wait to see how you're going to incorporate the First Evil's storyline to your story. Wonderful chapter and I can't wait for more.Mari

I love this story, it's so real. I love the pacing, not too fast, not too slow, just right. I loved that they've cleared the air and that Buffy gave William the crumb he had been looking for and is ready to move on, even if she still loves Angel (although I guess that's diminishing with each of William's gestures), by accepting to go on a date with him. Can't wait to read more!
