Wow, great story... with quite an emotional end. And you kept them all in character (as far as I can tell..) so it all felt natural. Good job! :)

That...was really really good! I had so much fun reading it! I always thought spike and fred would make the best couple. So different but so alike.

ok i've read this story once before when you first started to work on it and then i just left it..getting tired of waiting lol..anyways i read it again just now and i have to say wonderful..at first i was a little confused but at the end you had me in tears...im a sap! lol..i love the idea of fred and spike..to unlikely pair..but wonderful all together...love it..i cant wait for you to update the sequel..i read that last night also lol.

the ending was beautiful!

Your 'first ever fanfiction' was fabulous! Spot on character voices and characterizations that made me sigh with pleasure.

Thank you!

It took a while to find the time to finish reading this, but I'm glad I didn't try to skim. The plot was fascinating, and your characterizations were spot on. The dynamic of Spike and Fred was surprisingly believeable, and all of the story was well paced and engrossing.

Your original character, Leah, was vivid and worked well in the context of this story. Eve was deliciously evil and manipulative, I hope she gets her comeuppance in the future.

I liked the observation "Spike made every word count and took equal calculation of others'." The ME writers mainly used his clever wordplay to make lascivious and insulting remarks at others' expense, but once in a while thay gave Spike a speech with insight and intelligence. I enjoy that side of Spike exploited in fanfiction.

Excellent characterizations all the way around. You really have a handle on Fred. Your Fred is strong willed and complex. Her anger at the group's babying and her migraines are outside of canon, but work in the story. I'm finally reading this so I can move on to "Work In Progress," and it's already proving entertaining and well crafted.

wow, i am totally into this story, and i think you captured spike and fred's characters perfectly. i commend you on a job well done!

*hisses* What? That's all? C'mon, This thing needs a sequel, cupcake!

I have to say that I'm very impressed with your depiction of the characters. Although I haven't seen much of the fifth season of Angel, I do kind of like the idea of Spike and Fred together. I especially enjoy how you write Fred. I think you've got her spirit down to -pardon the slight pun- a science. Your writing is also pleasant to read in general.

Keep it up! :D

This is awesome!

*tear* That was so BEAUTIFUL! But it was so sad in the end. A really good job. I think there should be more Spike/Fred fics out there. They make such a cute couple. Once again, BrAvO!

ok may I just say Wow? ok wow. I'm normally a Wes/Fred fan but I also am a Fred/Spike fan. This was really really well written, I loved it. Great job for a first fanfiction.

Update. So not enough spike/fred out there. And this is very interesting.

"Ha, ha, little roller coaster humor there."
Hee! Damn, I love your Willow! This story is fantastic.
