If You Don't Love Me... ~ Lie to me rewrite

[alwaysjbj]

This is my incredibly overdue twisted_spuffy rewrite of 'Lie to Me' *hangs head*

I was trying to get the whole fic finished (it is all nicely plotted out and the end is even written) but the muse deserted me. oracleholly suggested that I divide it up into chapters and post the first chapter now, and the rest as the muse decides to play nice and let me finish them... so here is Chapter 1 of If You Don't Love Me...

Title: If You Don't Love Me...

Excellent! I love that Buffy calls Angel on his lie, which she didn't do in canon (of course *rolls eyes*).

Looking forward to more of this!

Thanks, sweetie! I am really happy with the ending of this fic... so I will be REALLY pleased if the rotten, obnoxious, lazy-good-for-nothing nice, sweet muse would decide to revisit this fic and let me finish it.

Oooh, go Buffy with the "take-no-bullshit" attitude! I like it already!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie. No, my Buffy doesn't much like being treated as a doormat! lol

[crossreactivity.livejournal.com]

Lovely start! I look forward to seeing more of this.

I recently read and enjoyed A Future Set in Sand, which is how I found my way to your LJ. I hope you don't mind if I friend you. I'm anxious to read more of your work, and would also love the oppourtunity to get to know you better. :)

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I don't mind at all... I love new friends!

Oooh! That was a spiffy opening chappie! I hope the muse decides to play ball as I am wanting to see more of this soonest. Loved Buffy putting Angel firmly on the spot and will be looking forward to seeing his reaction. Thanks ever so. *hugs*

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie. I'm glad you liked! I'd be happy if the muse would play nice with any of the chaptered fics.

I really liked this. You got Dru's "strangeness" captured perfectly.
Now do you need me to come over there and help you sort out your muse and which weapons do you want me to bring. LOL

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! No, no weapons... he doesn't take well to threats... digs his heels in and gets VERY stubborn... bribery is more effective.

[harlemraine.livejournal.com]

Gee...you take the fun out of a girl's day. Party pooper. I feel the need to torture something and my parents won't stand still long enough. Ok how about the whips, can I at least bring the whips. **Grins**

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL. If it would make you feel better.

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Really fantastic, my dear!

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Overdue, Schmoverdue! It's going great so far! Loved Buffy getting in Angel's face about his lie...and I'm hoping you do something really gruesome to Ford (I REALLY didn't like that character! lol).

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie! *winks* Ford's fate has already been written... I hope you will approve... I just need to do the damned linky bits in the middle. LOL

Your story was rec'd on darker_spike and I'm so glad it was. I'm loving the beginning of this! I love rewrites and now I have to go watch the episode just to see how different it's turning out. Is it okay if I friend you to keep up with updates??

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Oh lovely! Thank you. I'm so glad you like it. LOL... have fun re-watching the ep... and I LOVE new friends! Welcome aboard.

[prophcygrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, I really enjoyed this, sweetie. I hope your muse decides to play nice. ;)

::smoochies::

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, I hope he decides to play nice too. *pokes him*

[garnigal.livejournal.com]

This is great! But I'm not fond of oracleholly - how can I possibly wait for the next installment?

[alwaysjbj.livejournal.com]

LOL... thank you! I do HOPE to have more reasonably soon.

[bloodytearslife.livejournal.com]

Ohh!!! Fabulous first chapter! I'm all giddy with anticipation on the smack down I know Buffy's probably going to give him. *crosses fingers* Is it a bad thing I'm excited there might be Angel bashing? Can't wait to see what direction you take this in. Hope the muse comes back to you!
