When do we get more?? I love the Egyptian Gods. Hopefully they'll give Buffy back and let Spike stay with her.

I didn't have always time to comment but I've read that you did a lot of travel. :)
I like the dreams; they are like a story in a story *g*
Another story made me think of it again: Willow got Joyce's money out of Buffy's bank account. But the money isn't for Dawn alone. I guess taking care of Dawn did count in Willow's eye for not paying rent */end ramble*
Heh heh, bad Spike :) Willow won't be pleased. ~ Loved Spike caring for Dawn.

Title: Chapter 1
Your Spike prose was really on in this chapter. I loved this:
Informing all of the Scoobies as to exactly what kinds of physical impossibilities they should perform upon one another had ended with some impressive special effects; a lingering tingle down his left arm; shocked sensibilities on Tara’s part; and a new post for the vampire: Dawn-sitting.
And this: If he didn’t keep a sharp eye out, Dawn would be carrying him around in a customized purse and feeding him beef flavored heart worm treats soon.
Hee!
And I liked both Spike's mischief-making and his begrudging consideration of what the right thing to do was. One might agree or disagree on the math, but it's promising that he bothers to think it out and then choose what he thinks is right. (It being what will amuse him being only a bonus, of course. *g*)

Yeah, lucky Bot, being Willow's pet project. I wouldn't wish that on my robotic ex who happened to be modeled after the recently deceased love of my life. ;)

Another plan that could have worked... too bad for him that Spike is only dreaming.
Ah well so Willow's plan wasn't perfect either. In theory it sounded good. Too bad it has side effects. If Willow can handle it? ~ Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you! The dreams are fun writing challenges, and I'm really happy that they aren't coming across as flat or repetitive.

Title: Chapter 9
Every time Spike manages to save Buffy and Dawn in his dreams it makes me sad for him. When he's always dreaming how he could have saved them and then wakes up and Buffy is still dead. And therefore (because of Buffy) he reacted so violent to the dead girl. It's really hard for him. I'm not sure if the others (except Dawn) know how hard. No wonder he didn't like the idea of the bot even if it is neat, using the bot to get rid off the vampires for the moment. If they won't dust it's hard to fight them.
Loved the update as always :)
Author's Response: Between the 'Bot and the undustable vampires, he's got a lot of nasty decisions to make. I'm glad you're liking the dream sequences. Sometimes they're hard to write, but they're also guiding how Spike acts when he's awake. Thanks for the review!

As if the Buffybot being around wasn't hard enough on Dawn, now she's going to be a walking reminder of how Dawn is naturally a portal generator, and how that led to the real Buffy's death.
Ouch.
Not surprising for Willow, though, and not in the end an unreasonable solution... if you've got Anya and Willow's emotional detachment.
No wonder Willow was surprised at Spike's premature vote aye.
Author's Response: I'm not below a little knife twisting, and the BuffyBot was going to be painful, no matter how I brought her in. Glad you're liking it! Thanks!

A jackal wearing eye makeup. LOL definitely not something that belongs into the zoo *gg*. Easy for Spike to catch if you know to look out for it. And at last Anubis can do magic (to calm the animals). Ah Anubis was there stopping Spike from telling this story at the magic box; but at the moment is sounds as if he is too carefully.
Author's Response: Hee, but oh so very common in Egyptian artwork. Caution might not be such a bad thing when the entire cosmos has been thrown out of order. ;-) Thanks for the review!

Title: Chapter 7
At last Spike tried; not only to save Buffy in his dreams, the idea with the buyers / hearts was a good idea; not his fault that it wasn't so easy.
Hard to fight other vamps when you can't kill them either :(
Whatever if was (a vision, the real Anubis) he sent a warning... because of Angelus or the Scoobies?
But one problem less with Angelus gone; enough problems remained.
Looking forward to more :)
Author's Response: Since I'm skimming close to canon, Angel had to show up, but scooting him along was probably the nicest thing I'm going to do to the characters for a while. Thanks for the review!

Title: Chapter 6
Maybe that scenario would have worked; useless to think about, it only hurts. But I guess you can't help that.
Funny indeed that Dawn has that kind of false memories about Angel when you come to think of it *gg*
YAY :) Dawn helped (against Angel).
Duh.. Cordy's vision is exactly what Spike tried to tell Giles. Seems it took another person to tell to make the others believe.
Loved the chapter especially the interaction between Spike and Dawn.
Author's Response: The dreams are Spike's way of subconsciously flogging himself over Buffy's death, and it's a particularly masochistic, effective method. Glad you liked my "helpful" task for Dawn. :-D Thanks for the review!

Heh. This is moving along nicely. I liked Giles's acceptance of Spike's explanation... and his disomfiture at having to acknowledge Spike was right. Very good characterisations... and if Angel isn't portrayed in a sympathetic light, well, this is Spike's POV. *g*
Author's Response: What? Admit that Spike was right? Never! ;-) Glad you're liking this. Thanks!

Of course, avoiding Angel means for the moment he's avoiding two people (Giles and Willow) who could help him... if he managed to convince them his divine visitation was something other than a starvation-induced hallucination.
But Dawn has a point, they can be very dumb smart people.
Author's Response: Very, very dumb smart people. Thanks for the review!

Interesting to find allusions to a slayer in an Egyptian Book of the Dead. I wonder why that is the case (Egyptian!). Maybe another prophecy. She ate the hearts of the damned, but the darkness was eating her. If Spike wasn't hallucinating maybe he in on something there. *pets Dawn* Clever way to blackmail Giles into helping Spike. :)

High visitors Spike had. Interesting explanation why Spike can't die (Buffy being human but not normal will she has problems too? Just wondering. ~ Mmm a reward? The gods know more then they are telling.

Nobody of the other Scoobies cares for Spike; at last Dawn does. Like Spike took care of Dawn (and not so much of the other Scoobies if I remember correctly. It's very weird indeed that Spike isn't going to dust (but I'm grateful he doesn't). I wonder what Giles will make of it (find out).
