Title: Chapter 4
This story is pretty darned sweet. But poor Spike ... even when he really really tries to do the right thing and abstain from Buffy, he caves when the love of his life seduces him... and nearly gets staked for it. Thank goodness she came to her senses. One does wonder, however, why they didn't think to have Amnesiac!Buffy write a letter to herself in the event her pre-portal memories came back and wiped her post-portal memories out, like they suspected they might. And think the claiming thing happens a bit too quick... think it would be a bit healthier and realistic if they really took some time to make sure their relationship was solid before jumping into that. And why'd Bufffy wait so long to let Spike know she remembered everything... kinda tortured him there, didn't she? Guess she still had a bit of bitchy Buffy there... but still, loved the story. Spuffy goodness!
Author's Response: A letter wouldn’t have worked because what could amnesiac-Buffy say? “I fell in love with Spike who really is a great guy”? Real-Buffy would just think that she’d gone around the bend because of her amnesia. And, yes, bitchy Buffy is still a bit there, but mostly it’s because she’s still struggling to process all the things she now remembers. By the time she does, she knows that she really wants him and never wants to lose him, at which point she’s ready for the claim which would seal their union and reassure both of them of their true love for each other. Thank you for liking the story!

Awwww, a sweet, Spuffy ending. Yay! And call me evil but I just love seeing Xander & Angel all riled like that. And this is the best, snottiest insult to Angel I've ever heard: "Peaches! How’s it hanging? Still pretty uselessly, I’ll wager." LOL.
Author's Response: Spike would never have been able to resist that line. :D I'm so glad you liked it! Always a Spuffy ending with me.

So much happened here! First of all, your Anya is fabulous: ""A sexually satisfied Slayer is a better Slayer. Anyone knows that." Ha! And you nailed Xander. I've never heard a better explanation for his behavior. You've also gotten the Scoobies down as whole & how they treat her. Brilliant observations & just great writing. You've made me a fan :)
Author's Response: I always hated the way the Scoobs pushed Buffy around. And Anya is always so much fun to write. I'm so glad you're enjoying this! Thank you!

You are completely undoing me with this story. Your Spike is so sweet & so dear; "He could do without sex, had done all those months that Dru was sick. It was being with the loved one that was important."
And your writing is beautiful. The last paragraph made my heart ache. I am thoroughly enjoying this. Just wonderful.
Author's Response: Spike's utter commitment is one of the lovely things about him. Thank you so much for liking the story!

Oh WOW, this was good. Such delightful banter between them. Great sense of space & setting - I feel immersed in this strange world with them. And your writing is beautiful, I loved this: The way he was looking at her, as if she were wonderful and amazing and delightful and special, made her breath catch and her heart beat faster.
You were recommended to me by a friend - I'll have to thank her. This is the best new fic I've read in a good while. I look forward to devouring your stories!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you like it! This is one of my favorite stories.

that was great, luved it! i totally hated buffy when she first remembered but then you made it better, i also liked what you did with anya and her involvement in the story.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I never could understand why nobody ever seems to listen to Anya with her thousand years experience with the demon world and I just wanted to point it out for once.

Thank you, Thank you. I been searching for a story like this for ages, and now I've found it. I loved Anya and Dawn's part in this story. Especially how you nailed Anya's character to a T. The love making scenes were just bloody perfect. There first time together was not about foreplay, but about making love. How it should be :) Not some sex crazed lovers. I loved the way you made Buffy and Spike so passionate and warm for each other. I felt every cupped face, and every forehead touch . Perfect. Beautiful.... I could keep going . Thank you.
Author's Response: Love and caring are what give love scenes real intensity, otherwise one might as well read a sex manual. Loving is what it's really all about. I wanted people to feel right along with them. I'm so glad it came across that way! Thank you!

This was the best story. I have loved most of the stories I've read of yours so far. But I think so far I like this one the best because it has Dawn in it and I love the friendship between Spike and Dawn. I wish you would write a sequal to his way, I love that he went back in time to the beginning of his moments in Sunnydale and changed things. I would love that story to continue to the end of the series so that Dawn can come in, we can see Joyce not die. I know that would be a very long story and you probably wouldn't want to do it, and thats ok, I just thought I would bring it up.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked this story! I'm a fan of the friendship between Spike and Dawn too. His Way was set right at the beginning of Buffy and Spike's relationship, so to cover 6 years would really make too long a story! And honestly His Way felt finished, if you know what I mean. But I will be writing more stories with Spike and Dawn's friendship in them.

Very well written, good plot and most importantly, excellent timing. I liked how you developed Buffy's character, how doubtful she was and how she finally listen to herself to make a decision.
I'm really looking forward reading more of your stories.

Great story! I loved reading about the two of them in the other dimension. I liked the loyal and devoted Spike of this story and enjoyed the whole tale immensely. Thanks
Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad! Thank you! Spike always seemed totally loyal and devoted to Buffy, only she wouldn't see that.

I didn't know if Buffy would tell where Spike was; glad she didn't. It was sad to see her so different again, having forgotten everything in between. Spike must have felt awful. Otherwise he wouldn't have thought of getting dusted.
Angel was kind of the key again; relieved to see she remembers now.
~ It turned out well :) Buffy made herself clear and the other listen. A good end. Enjoyed the journey a lot.

Thoughtful of Spike to give Buffy a choice. Now she isn't her normal self. She is the Buffy she could have become.
Sad to see Spike was so right, thy were trying to find him, even with magic and now his crypt is damaged. Good thing he's at a safe place now.
Oh good, Tara was supervising Willow; I feared for a moment she was acting on her own.
Tara may be on something there; makes sense for me.
~ Willow seems to come around. But thanks to Tara, not on her own.
I wondered if Xander had called Giles or Angel. Always going for the big gun.
*sigh* Sad to see Spike was right, Buffy forgot what happened in the meantime and is back to denial Buffy.
Author's Response: It had to happen. The worst always does.

Tsk... Xander doesn't let Anya talk. I'm sure there was something she wanted to point out. Cookies for Tara to notice. Maybe they'll have a chance now to find them.
~ Time moved different in both dimensions? Or it was a time jump. Buffy can count herself as lucky that Spike is with her :) He knows his way around.
Ah back. Hadn't it been for Spike Buffy would have panicked. Nobody gave Buffy time (room), they just shouted, glad to have her back. It's different now that they are back.
Spike doesn't have to worry about Buffy, he has to worry about Xander that he remembers Spike didn't get a headache. ~ Good remark to Xander :-D
Neat hiding hole Spike found; even spell proofed, that's thoughtful (but hopefully not needed).
Awe :) Spike is indeed only a demon :) I really hope Buffy won't have that kind of amnesia that will let her forget what happened when she lost her memory.
Author's Response: I thought it would be very likely that time would move differently in other dimensions and I wanted time for Buffy to get to know Spike. Twelve days in each other's company would allow for that.
And Xander never seems to get called for the mean things he says and does, so I took the opportunity here.

If Spike is lucky the chip has burned out now.
That new dimension looks at last good, harmless. I hope it isn't dangerous. Spike is still a vampire even if he can go in the sun. Maybe he's still strong. *nods* Still quick moving, must be strong too. And a successful hunter. Thought so, all the years being around have taught Spike something. It's helpful to have him around.
Oh Well, I think what Riley did was evil. Geesh, and these are supposed to be the good guys?" I like that :) Buffy is right too.
And Brutus is an honorable man. Spike too. Not easy for him, that makes it even harder when Buffy is so different to him.
I'm trying to post this now and hope it gets through. The site is weird for me now. Couldn't post it yesterday but now the site is okay again.
Author's Response: I was always bored with Riley, but didn't dislike him until he staked Spike like that. It was such a mean, disgusting thing to do to someone who couldn't fight back. Then, in 'As You Were', I really got to despise him for his hateful, bullying tactics!

Oh my God! This is one of the best fics I've read for ages! Buffy's acceptance of Spike without all the emotional baggage she normally carries about is beautiful, and the way the Scoobies have become accustomed to manipulating her is made very clear when she comes to it afresh and rebels aganst it. I've made you a favourite author and now I'm gonna read everything else you've ever written!

good christ in hell you are amazing. i saw this story, its marked as unfinished by the way unelss youve corrected that already, ahd was so excited about another addition to your profile and let me tell you it did not disappoint. i mean, you're a real writer. we all read a lot of fics on this site cos we love spike and buffy, but lets face it, a lot of it is written really badly and its only bearable because of the content. but you write really well, your stories are interesting, the boring (but important) stuff like grammar etc is all perfect and it all makes for a great read. I hope so much that you've got more to come (and i have to say, the fact that we haven't had to wait for updates on your stories and they're all here at once is the best thing to happen since sliced bread) so keep up the amazing work!!!
Author's Response: Thank you for liking my stories! It's wonderful to hear! And thanks for telling me it was marked unfinished; I didn't realize and I've corrected it now. It's fantastic to hear that you think I'm a real writer. I'm so new to writing and I'm still learning. I've got one more completed story that I'll be posting tonight, but then it'll be another month before I can get another up. I'm just writing it and I'm slow at it because I obsess over every comma. That's why I post completed fics -- I get too embarrassed to let anyone see it until it's finished.
