I am sooooooooooooooo glad you came back to Spuffy. You left 2 stories unfinished and honestly I'm amazed at how well I've remembered them. You are an amazing story teller. I would love to know more about you. Don't forget falling.

Author's Response: I haven't forgotten "Falling," but I have put it on the back burner for now so that I can focus on this story. "Forward to Time Past" has such an expansive plot, it's hard to give it the attention it deserves if I'm also working on another story. As soon as this fic is finished, though, I fully plan to go back and finish "Falling" (probably give it a bit of an overhaul, too.) I'm glad to hear you like both stories. Thanks so much for reviewing. :)

You know your are my favorite author. Great story. Fantastic chapter,
And one of the things that make your story so great is that you take your time to answer all the reviews you get. I personally appreciate it a lot. From your answers I have gotten a much better understanding of your story and were you want to get with it. So Thank you very much and I hope you continue answering the reviews you get.

Author's Response: I really appreciate all the wonderful people who take the time to review my story, so I really am making an effort to show them the same respect and answer them. It's nice to know people do read the answers and appreciate them. If you ever have any questions about the fic, or even if you just want to bring something up for discussion, feel free, and I'll respond. Thanks, as always, for your review. :)

Sorry! I was out of town it seems on your last updae but wow 2 whole chapters for me to get caught up on I feel spoiled today. Ok this was so good he's learning fighting moves and has his own honor as a fighter and he's finding his way to become a master vamp in due time. I knew Angelus would turn up cause evil is always on your tail when your a vampire. I'm almost afraid for Spike and then maybe not sieeing as he has had a few successes I don't see Angelus getting the better of him this time. I do wonder though if Dru sent him word where they were at.
Great reading as always I love your work.

Author's Response: I was wondering where you were! Glad to know you didn't abandon the story. Thanks for reviewing. :)

Great chapter. I really enjoyed you description of Spike's almost subconscious respect for Emiliana and the sort of relationship that they developed. Not romantically, of course, but they knew one another, looked for one another, and their interactions with one another surpassed the basic "I, Vampire. You, Slayer. We fight? Neato" that is expected. Every chapter sheds a new light upon Spike to explain how he's become such an unconventional vampire.

Angelus coming after them? Not of the good. Looking forward to more-- and when I say that, I mean, like, checking every day several times a day just for this fic. I love it. I think I can safely say this is the best fanfiction I've read, and I've been reading for five years or so.

Author's Response: Your enthusiasm for updates is the greatest kind of compliment to my writing. Thank you. :)

A non-canon chapter, and all the more interesting for it; you allow Spike and Dru to escape the confines of Angelus's 'household' and spread their wings and sharpen their fangs in Italy. Italy, where he had once upon a time proposed to bring his mother and Elizabeth. Instead, he encounters the Slayer and they fight but he is unable to best her. Spike uses this defeat as a lesson: his battle edge needed to be sharper, and, for all his demon ways, there was still William within him as he respected her and her Calling, her warrior status. So when she is felled by the careless swipe of a demon, he mourns her; the passing of the Chosen One, and not in the manner of a fair fight as befitted her.

And then Angelus shows up. Bloody hell, what now?

Great chapter.

Author's Response: lol. I've got to keep you guessing, now, don't I? Glad to hear it's working so far. Thanks for the review. :)

You are good because this story makes me emotional. Seeing Spike with Dru *big sigh*. I'm glad for small things like But you love her more. ~ She was important to me; I can't just stop thinking of her because I've changed. Doesn't mean I don't love you. It just means that I can't fall in love with you *sigh*
Dru knows more again. Maybe including the stuff that will take place in book three. Miss Edith talks too much.
Loved the description of Spike's fight against the slayer. The D/S part not so much but you know that. So the slayer is gone now; looking forward to more, where they will go now that Angelus is back. And what will change now in their little family. I guess Angelus wants to take the lead again. But will Spike give it up?

Author's Response: lol. Now, how did I guess that you wouldn't enjoy the Spike/Dru interaction? Still, I'm glad to hear you're able to look past that and enjoy the chapter anyway. Thanks for the review. :)

Wow, wow, wow....and wow.

When I think that you can not impress me more... you just go and do it. When I think that now I want you to jump forward and have Spike and Buffy meet again. You write a chapter like this... that is so great an well written that I forget everything about my previous wishes.

Thank you for not letting Spike kill the Italian slayer. Their encounter was just perfect. He´s not good enough to kill her, but he´s good enough to fight and learn. And they fight many times. I liked that. And that part of the story was great and so very logic with the canon Spike.... Even the mourn of the slayer when she dies in such a "dumb" way.... by a demon, just because she got distracted.

The details in your story are fantastic.:
1 Giving Miss Edith to Drusilla...
2. Her second sight.
3. Trying to love Drusilla because he knows his Elisabeth would never love what he had become... Waking up with dried tears on his cheeks.

And then the end.... Angelus´s ... "Daddy´s home".... Perfect ending.... cliffhanger....

Please, please update soon. I can´t wait to read more....


Author's Response: It's nice to hear that this chapter allayed your impatience for Part III. I know everyone is eager to get to the Buffy/Spike reunion (including me, lol) but I'd hate to think that means my readers are just skimming these chapters. So, to hear that you're enjoying them this well really makes me feel good. Thanks so much for the review! :)

God, I really am enjoying your story. This chapter was beautiful--loved his Italian fantasy with Elizabeth and the accounts of his battles with his first Slayer. Really nice job. Never am able to contain myself for chapters to come.

Author's Response: How nice of you to say! It's great to hear you're enjoying the story so much. I'm working on Chapter 36 now, and I'm shooting for next Saturday to update. Hopefully it won't be any longer than that. I hope you enjoy the update when it comes. :)

I find this...

He would learn at the feet of the master. He would become a true warrior; and when he killed her, he would bow at the altar of her corpse and thank her for teaching him.

finally one of my old favorite fanfics updated. Yay! I wish we could of heard Miss Edith's secrets or catch more daydreams of Spike having about Elizabeth. I'm surprised Spike didn't see some similiar qualities that the slayer had and what Elizabeth was like.

P.S i know you getting as much done as you can but do you think the third part will be up sometime in this summer? I can't wait. But i'm still having a blast reading your version of William's journey with Dru and Angelus.

Author's Response: So far, I'm averaging one chapter a week (give or take) and if Part II will be as long as I think, then I will probably start Part III in as early as 10 weeks. Of course, this is barring any unforseen problems that prevent me from writing. I'm glad to hear you're so eager to read the third part, but I hope you continue to enjoy the one we're on. Thanks for the review. :)

I love this story. I like spike and dru. Of course not as much as spuffy. But I always thought spike and dru were special. Cause here you have two vampires who seem so into each other.

keep up the wonderful work.

Author's Response: I agree with you. Although I'm die hard Spuffy, I really liked the relationship he had with Dru. Although she was broken and unfaithful, they obviously had a huge amount of affection for each other. And I loved how he took care of her and protected her. I'm glad you liked the chapter.

“Of course, it isn’t something even to be considered,” continued Darla. “Drusilla, surprisingly enough, had a rare moment of lucidity."

Hee. I love Darla. Did she say this on the show or was it something you made up? Because it's definitely a Darla-esque thing to say. Overall though, I really am enjoying how you're writing her. She's one of my absolute favorite characters and you're definitely doing her justice.

This story is really taking shape and with the help of Angelus, Drusilla, and Darla, William's transformation to Spike is coming along quite well. I can't wait to read his take on the slayers,especially since little does he know in a matters of years, he'll realize the love of his life is one.

Besides loving this story, I'm also loving the fact that you respond to the reviews we post. It makes the story more real to me, reading your insight. The story itself seems difficult to write because of it's rich detail, so I just want you to know how grateful I am that you're sharing it with us, and that you're taking the time to write back when we review :)

Author's Response: I made that line up. I'm glad you liked it. :) Thanks so much for mentioning my responses to the reviews. I was wondering if anyone actually read them, lol. I love how you guys take time to break down the chapters and tell me what you like (or, even dislike) about each one. My new chapter is at the Beta's right now, so hopefully it won't be too long until I can update. I hope you like the new chapter when it comes!

Awesome! Brilliant chapter. Them leaving as they did was wonderful. Does he find the Slayer? Or does she pass before he gets to her? Is that how he ends up in China during the Boxer Rebellion? Because the Italian Slayer died? Hmmm.. More great transitioning into Spike becoming his own vamp. His reputation is becoming increasingly well earned, and Angelus.. ouch! That's hilarious, how Spike put him down and all, unmanning him, after a fashion. He's such a pussy! LOL! Love it and waiting for more.

CT.

Author's Response: Not many people have mentioned Spike mocking Angelus' manhood (I think the North London scene garnered more attention) but I laughed at Spike's cockiness there. He could have let the rape cow him, but instead he's using it as a weapon against his grandsire. I'm glad you like it. :)

So Spike found out about slayers... and is willing to try to fight them. He fights for the joy of the fight, to pit his strength against the slayer. And so it begins...
~ Caught up at last. Looking forward to Part III because Part II is harder for me to read; I don't like S/D even if this is endurable and I'm sure Part III won't be walking straight into fluffy spuffy.

Author's Response: I'm sorry it's harder to read, but I understand why. I promise it will be worth the wait when Part III comes. Althought you're right, it won't be fluffy. ;)

Oh my.. it almost seemed as if William had a death wish. And regarding the names, William died that night.
But it's easier for him to make Angelus angry for not obeying.

Author's Response: A death wish is a good name for it. He's a man with nothing to lose at this point, and he's acting accordingly. Thanks for reading. :)

William likes to read himself in the papers... he plays a dangerous game. Too dangerous; Angelus happened. *big sigh* And this is the start of Spike the mastervampire. In this way that he doesn't want to do what Angelus says any longer, nothing more.

Author's Response: Yeah, Angelus doesn't temper his punishments when he's angry. It's a hard thing to recover from, but Spike ultimately learns from the experience, which it good. Thanks for reviewing. :)

I'm glad too he hasn't forgotten Elizabeth, even dreamed of her. I wonder (but I'll read I guess) how the third part will be, if he'll recognize Elizabeth in Buffy when he sees her the first time. But Buffy from the past (the younger version of her) who didn't go back in the past, how can she knew him... and so on.
I know I should but I can't feel sorry for Archer. He deserved to be punished. Too bad for him it happened in this way.

Author's Response: It would take a lot more than vampirism and the passage of a few months to make him forget Elizabeth. And like I said, despite the darkness of this part, in remains a romance at heart. I'm glad you liked that scene. Thanks so much for reviewing. :)
