And Spike gets his cloud with the silver lining. I'm glad he's going to walk again , eventually . I must say as much as I dislike Angel , i'm glad he's being stand up guy in this fic and not an asshole, or should I say arsehole, lol. another great chapter Mabel, keep im coming, come on , give me more, teehee.

Author's Response: I did this challenge to make me write Angel as he's not my fave character and after having him as horrid sod in CL thought i'd try to make him nicer in this fic! :)

Oh my, the irony... therefore Spike hadn't noticed that he was still strong. I wondered who he could have missed that.
Feared the session would go wrong with Spike no able to tell everything but it went good. Spike had to talk about it with someone that learned to do it (to listen and to help).

Author's Response: Yes the irony of it hit home - he did know he was bit stronger than'William' had been but wasn't enough to make him feel better about it happening! :) I enjoyed writing the Moira/spike scenes. :)

This is such a nice story because it´s different from the other stories. Please update soon:-))

Author's Response: Thank you so much for saying that it's different - I love it when people say that about my stories! I thin Changing Lives held a few surprises that readers didn't expect! Will update asap but this week is a bit tricky workwise but will try my best! :) Thanks for taking the time to review.

::::::::staggering:::::::: Spike having second thoughts before acting? Admitting he's wrong? Talking to a psychiatrist? Being friends with Peaches??? LOL Seriously - great story progression with Angel sharing the info, Spike realizing what he had done/wasted and his resulting guilt from it.
See you in the next chapter! :)

Author's Response: What can I say? lol I love making them act how I want them to - Angel should be nicer to poor old Spike! lol!! thanks for the review! See you soon!:)

*sigh* Its nice to see Spike's mental state is improving. I can so picture Spike's thought when he's talking to Moira, his voice was perfect. :) Love it.

“I will do, Brad,” said Buffy with a smile, “Perhaps there can be oil involved?”

“Bloody hell, woman,” muttered Spike, making both Buffy and Brad laugh.

LOL!! Loved it.

The the cliffhanger! I'd better wake up and find an update to this story, woman! Yes, that's an order.

I want to know what comes after the ... and I want to know NOW! : )

Author's Response: the oil involved line is ripped from episode in S7 where A and S are jealous of each other!! lol - thought it fit quite well!!

I loved this line : ) Great chapter.

“No, you really don’t if you keep on saying stuff like that. We deserve each other, we’re a team, two halves of one whole and all that baloney.”

Author's Response: gotta put a bit of corny stuff in there!! lol

A very serious chapter about a very serious subject, but I couldn't help but laugh at this line:

Spike closed his eyes and groaned. “Why couldn’t someone just die when they wanted to?”

Author's Response: glad you picked that line up - i couldn't resist putting it in! Poor guy just has nothing going his way!! LOL

Bad Spike! Thinking of ending it all again. But, it really is something a patient who had a setback would think.

Of course, now he won't be asleep when the woman of his dreams slips in. : )

Author's Response: He's rock bottom just when things were looking a little better for him - the humiliation as much as the injury did it! :)

“Bloody git, that cake had better be good.” LOL!!

I love how Buffy is sneaking in to see him while he sleeps.

Author's Response: there was no way she'd just meekly wait for him was there? :)

I really enjoyed this whole chapter with Angel and Spike talking. Made me smile, but below, I've highlighted some of what I liked. Great chapter!

“Well…I’m not anymore, am I? I’m just…”

“Freaking irritating, that’s what you are,” interrupted Angel, “You’re family. Just because some prophecy made you human, it doesn’t mean that you’re not still my grandchilde. Although I’ve never really forgiven Dru for siring you in the first place, little dork that you were.”

“I was not,” protested Spike.

“Oh no? ‘Course you weren’t, with your little books of poetry and your fluffy hair…”

“Your sodding hair grows straight up!”

Author's Response: glad you liked it - the reason I picked this challenge was to make me write Angel as I didn't know whether I'd capture him as well as Spike! :)

Date: 04/06/2008 - 07:59 pm Title: Is It Progress?

There were a ton of lines that I loved in this chapter. I really like the interaction between Brad and Spike. I loved this part:

“You look happy,” said Brad sarcastically as he walked into the room, startling Spike.

“Yeah…well…sodding things still won’t hardly move,” said Spike grumpily.

“Things take time, Spike. Don’t push it,” replied Brad.

“Suppose I’ve got plenty of that now, haven’t I?” said Spike with a sigh.

“Shall I go out and come back in again?” asked Brad with a grin, trying to prod Spike out of his depressive thoughts.

Author's Response: I love it when you pick out lines - lets me know that they hit the mark!! :) huge grin!

“Why do you always say that when I come to visit you?” said Brad, the physiotherapist, with a grin, “I’ll start thinking that you don’t like me.”

I'm liking Brad.

Author's Response: glad you like Brad - he's a good guy!! :)

I love Angel and Buffy crossing paths in the air and missing each other. : )

I also liked how you had Buffy finding Spike's duster and her seeing the hole and the blood.

Great chapter.

Author's Response: i love writng stuff like that where it goes from one character to another!! :)
