| I LOVED that story. It was so sweet! |

| Hopelessly romantic. I loved every chapter! |
| |
| BuffyRat | Six | 04/30/2006 12:56 am |
| That wrapped up so nicely. BR Spike headed back just after he got to piss Angel and Spike off, and Spike got to understand just how much he meant to Buffy, that his other self was there because she loved him... Wow, a beautiful little sentiment there. Loved the whole thing. Thanks so much for sharing. |
| I've been thinking of you and your last review. I was hoping you wouldn't be disappointed that there was only the one chapter left. I'm glad you thought it reached a good conclusion. Thank you so much for taking the time to review all the way through. |

| ahhhhh how wonderful sweet! I loved this story! It was really great! You write such a great and flowing story - brings out strong emotions and is quite wonderful! hapy sigh! |
| Thank you!! ;)It's all about the emotions right now. I'm glad it worked for you and that you enjoyed reading it so much. {{hugs}} talk to you soon, Megan |

| What a beautiful story! I felt disdain for Buffy when she took up with the Immortal - brilliant to make him really be Spike! You've made another "unacceptable" part of the Buffy story not only acceptable, but touching. |
| Oh, you don't know what it means to ahve people enjoy the way I twisted that particular part of canon. it was so horrible on the show--intolerable. Thank you so much for enjoying my story. |
| |
| SinisterChic | Six | 04/28/2006 09:52 am |
| Pure brilliance! The most imaginative Girl in Question fic! I love The Immortal really being Spike. *L* Oh, it was so much fun. |
| **Squee** My beta tells me this is her new canon--the only way she can live with The Immortal in the show. So glad you liked it. And who knows, maybe it could be revisited later on. Maybe. No promises. |
| |
| Death_Dealer | Six | 04/28/2006 01:07 am |
| I really love the closing to the story. It's really sweet. Great fic. |
| I'm glad you enjoyed it--and I hope it wasn't too sweet ;) thank you for taking the time to review. |
| |
| jl1980 | Six | 04/28/2006 12:49 am |
| awww...so sweet...love the ending |
| Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for reviewing throughout. |
| |
| Robyn | Six | 04/27/2006 06:21 pm |
| The ending was absolutely beautiful, and the entire chapter was great. I really enjoyed your explanation of the Immortal, that Angel didn’t fight but realized that it was hopeless for him, that BR Spike never fell in Love with Buffy and instead got on his future self for falling in love with a slayer, and that BR Spike remained a pain right up till he was sent back. Or to put it another way, I really loved this story. |
Hi Robyn, when I thought of this idea almost a year ago, it was basically just set around BRSpike taking on the Immortal persona. Was the only way I could stand thinking of that part of 'canon'. And all those things--I'm so glad you enjoyed the way I structured it. I am just very relieved it's done. Now if I could just kickstart Dis again, I'd be happy.
Thank you for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it. |

| What a very sweet way to end this story ... "This time she would have her happily ever after." That was so beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful fic, Megan. It uplifted me with hope many times during the reading of it. You are a wonderful and beautiful writer. I hope that we always get to share in the pieces that you and your muse create. Thank you. |
| Oh Tasha, what beautiful things to say. Thank you so much. I'm glad it had such an effect on you and it really makes me happy that you enjoyed it. I'm relaly up in the air about how I feel about posting right now. But thank you for making me feel appreciated. It means alot. |

I love happy endings. . . . very nicely done sweetie. . . . very nice. Thank you for sharing it. |

Ohhhhhh! That last line made me smile so bright I almost started crying! I LOVE IT!
I am sooo sorry that this review is soooo late! I've had a crazy few months! But am here now, yeah? I enjoyed this entire chapter. The insights you portray of the characters are poignant and beautiful. I apologize, but now I MUST read the last chapter! Ta. |
| |
| wall_flower | Five | 05/23/2006 04:38 am |
| Take. My. Breath. A. Way. That was incredible- and so smart to have past-Spike as the Immortal. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. I ADORE this :] |

| |

| |
| Randi Giles | Five | 04/24/2006 05:08 pm |
| Ohhhh my gosh! Spike is sooo not gonna get along with himself is he? And the "Hello, cutie." is there a more perfect line.. |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Five | 04/24/2006 09:30 am |
| YEAh!!! Spike found her. Now what will happen with Spilliam ... LOL ... Our Spikey half William. {Grins} This is good. I love this fic. Look forward to more. |

| Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| |
| BuffyRat | Five | 04/24/2006 12:41 am |
| This chapter was fabulous. Spike getting a thorough talking to by Giles and deciding perhaps saying "hello" was the least he could do. And Buffy dealing with BR Spike, and have so many conflicted emotions. Amazing as well. Not to mention his pention for making the Immortal look like an idiot. Very classic Spike if ever there was. And that simple, classic greeting, "hello, cutie." God, the fact that I will be without a computer for the next week and have to leave it there... may just kill me. Worshipping before this story. Hope theres a bunch of chapters waiting when I get back. Oh, right, PLEASE! |
| |
| Robyn | Five | 04/23/2006 09:39 pm |
| I am really enjoying your version of why Buffy was with the Immortal. I loved the phone call Giles made to Spike and loved how clearly you put Spike's reasoning for not seeing Buffy, as well as the reason he really needed to see her. And what perfect words for him to say to her on their reunion. |
| |
| vladt | Five | 04/23/2006 09:32 pm |

| |
| Niamh | Four | 04/27/2006 11:54 am |
| Bad Giles. Very very bad Giles. I hope Buffy yells at him for a long, long time. And then never speaks to him again. And I love how he uses The Immortal! LOL. |
| |
| kittiekat | Four | 04/26/2006 08:23 am |
| Lots of very nice UST! Oh, me like a lot. Of course, it's not Spike-Spike and thus it IS wrong, and still the wrong always seems so much more alluring, doesn't it? Enjoyed the whole chappie, girl! Thank you! |
| |
| Delicia | Four | 04/24/2006 06:38 pm |
| Great chapter! I loved the snarking. I can't wait to read what present day Spike will do after Giles' call. |
| |
| Lou | Four | 04/23/2006 04:46 pm |
| 'Fuck off, pops'! LOL hysterical! Great stuff. Buffy will have her hands full! |

| good chapter. the though of two spikes, very interesting. thanks for the fine read. |
| |
| akarinacj | Four | 04/23/2006 05:38 am |
| This is a very interresting version what could have happened. So, he goes by the Inmortal, and the real Spike is back in L.A... Can´t wait to see what happens with all of them. Please update soon. |
| |
| yangchencen | Four | 04/23/2006 04:02 am |
| Man, certainly didn't see this one coming! What will you do with two Spikes? (YUMMY! YUMMY!) |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Four | 04/23/2006 03:38 am |
| Oh boy. So Spike is still in this dimension ... but he didnt' get snatched to Buffy with the spell ... oy. Sounds like lots of good stuff still to come in the story. I look forward to more. |
| |
| Robyn | Four | 04/23/2006 12:46 am |
| I really love Spike's and Buffy's argument and fight in this chapter. It was very enjoyable. I am glad that Giles finally realized that Spike and Angelus are nothing alike and him continuing to compare them is foolish. I hope he is able to make peace with Spike and help Buffy like he should've in the first place. |
| |
| kim | Four | 04/23/2006 12:12 am |
Yep, Willow's words of checking any other dimension but their own were very telling. If she had included here, which she really should have, just in case, they'd know Spike is already back - Buffy's Spike.
Oh, Willow... |
| |
| Caro Mio | Four | 04/23/2006 12:07 am |
This is happening at the same time Giles knew Spike is back?? Ooooo, somebody needs to skin a Watcher. That bastard....at least he wants to make it right, now....and if he mentions the situation to Spike, Spike will definitely be on the first plane to get his old self away from Buffy before damage is done.
Poor Buffy... |
| |
| BuffyRat | Four | 04/23/2006 12:05 am |
| We've got BR Spike running around, and the real Spike running around in LA with Angel, and Giles knew it! Man, sure would explain why Willow couldn't find Spike in a realm other than this one. Glad Buffy was able to hold off on the gratification with BR Spike. Loved the chapter. Can't wait for more! |
| |

"He felt his gut turn at her sniffle and then she was holding his hand and he thought he was going to hurl all over the pretty bed covers."
I love, love, love the inside look of Spike's head. I mean, this is so totally 1900's Spike. Just perfect! *claps hands* Beautiful!
|

| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Three | 04/23/2006 03:31 am |
| Holy moley. Awesome chapter. I am a couple days behind. So, I have one more chapter to read. I'm literally typing this review so fast that I've had to erase and retype MANY times because of typos. So, I'm going to end the review and head for more. |
| |
| jl1980 | Three | 04/22/2006 11:47 pm |
| i like this spike, evil though he is...i cant wait to see where you take this, it's wonderful so far! |
| |
| Delicia | Three | 04/22/2006 11:46 am |
| This is a very interesting twist! I love Buffy's thoughts on the "wrong" Spike. It's him but not him. I am eagerly awaiting more |
| |
| Lou | Three | 04/22/2006 10:10 am |
| Gotta love untamed Spike! |
| |
| BuffyRat | Three | 04/22/2006 12:08 am |
| I see much interesting interaction before they are able to fix this. I wonder if this Spike an Buffy are destined to teach each other things. Great premise. Looking forward to more! |

Well, Willow did bring back William the Bloody.  The next week or so are definantly going to be interresting for all parties involved. Thanks for the great update. |
| |
| kim | Three | 04/21/2006 05:09 pm |

| |
| Athenewolfe | Two | 04/28/2006 12:51 pm |
| NO!!!!!!! How horrible for Buffy - how could the powers let hium come back and then have him come back wrong. That is just awful. I can't wait to see what you write next - this is a great story! |
| |

A flawless crystal created by none other than Leonardo da Vinci—and sarcastic cracks about her momentary confusion as to why Leo off the Titanic would waste his time on something that didn’t make him look pretty were really unacceptable.
So very Buffy. . . .
“What the hell is that? Are we conjuring Spike from the beer drinking dimension?” Buffy stared at the bottle with a mixed look of confusion and appalled curiosity.
Oh my god, that was soo funny
It was Spike.
He’d just come back wrong.
Uhoh.
|
| |
| jl1980 | Two | 04/22/2006 11:12 pm |
| wow...well when she came back and irrationally attacked *him* (for a whole season)...he was there for *her*...if she's planning on staking, i'm gonna kill her...honest...gotta read more now |
| |
| Delicia | Two | 04/22/2006 11:27 am |
| Wow, great chapter! I guess it didn't work out too well. I gotta see what happens!! |
| |
| BuffyRat | Two | 04/21/2006 11:53 pm |
| Damn, that sucks. Poor girl, her boy but not quite... The spell and Buffy's anxiousness was beautifully written. Loved the experience. Hope they can fix him... |
| |
| kittiekat | Two | 04/21/2006 04:31 pm |
"That hurt a whole lot more than Buffy would have ever expected, but like the parts of herself she’d lost when she was torn out of Heaven, like little sacks of baggage checked in and lost between boarding and disembarking, the loss of Spike’s soul was devastating. He’d won it because of her—for her, and she considered it her gift. The greatest gift anyone had given her besides life, and she wanted it back. It was beyond wrong that it could have been blinked out of existence along with her town and along with a hero."
LOVED this part. So pretty!
"Andrew looked way too confident for a geek with sci-fi separation issues. “Guess whose contact was gay? I have a date for Friday night.” His smirk rivalled those of the best, and the best, as they all knew, was Spike."
lmao! So funny!
The whole imagery with the spell was fantabulously well-written! Kudos! I was so curious to see what was gonna happen, though, I was like faster Annie read faster! And so he's back. From outer space. Kidding. I'm totally looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Oh, and those last two lines - haunting. (and of course I recognize them!)
Lovely! More soon, I hope!
A.M.L - Annie.

| Shouldn't Buffy know by now to listen to her inner self? I love the detail you used in describing her unease, and I am looking forward to where you go from here. Thanks for the great update. |
| |

Previous version Spike. They asked for William the Bloody, and that's who they got.
This one isn't having anything to do with AtS season 5, is it? Wasn't sure how AU you are going. |
| |

| |
| Niamh | One | 04/27/2006 11:14 am |
| Ohhhh, good start. . . . am going onto the next part immediately. Lovely . . . her despair and sorrow and its just so real. |
| |

"We tried to get you to open up by making you angry?thus the evil bad dateage."
Well, that certainly shows how much Willow has changed from her evil, manipulative, controlling ways. Not at all, I'm thinking. |
| |

| BuffyRat | One | 04/21/2006 11:32 pm |
| Wow, that was another amazing intense chapter. Loved this line, "Though Spike had represented monochrome in its most extreme, she now saw that he added the most colour to her life."--So very poetic, even in its obviousness. And now, we're gonna resurrect Spike!?! Way awesome. |
| |
| vladt | One | 04/20/2006 12:26 am |

| Hmmm ... and uh oh ... I wonder what is going ot happen. Will Willow check to see if Spike is in a heavenly dimension first? Don't want Spike to come back all hating Buffy. Excellent chapter, and I look forward to more. |
| |
| DeanSamWinchesterfan | One | 04/19/2006 03:46 pm |
Good story so far.It'd be nice if Spike had been in Heaven,and we'll deal with I Want To Be Dead!
Spike.I love this story so far.
Update soon. |
| |
| kittiekat | One | 04/19/2006 02:42 pm |
Ohh! *claps hands* How exciting! Can't WAIT to read more of this, I hope you have an update planned for the immediate future. 'Cause otherwise it'll be one sucky future. ;)
I liked the portrayal of Buffy's grief. It felt deep and real and private and then like such a release for her to be able to share it. Also enjoyed the little background scenarios for the Scoobs. Will and Xand's families and Will studying and all that. Just really enjoyed the read.
Now, march off and write more! (Please!)
All My Love - Annie. |

| |
| Robyn | One | 04/19/2006 04:13 am |
| Really good chapter, I like the exploration into Buffy's grief. I am looking forward to where you take and how you handle the resurrection plan. |
| |
| kim | One | 04/19/2006 03:29 am |
| Just make sure to check where he is first! It would be comfort to Buffy if she knew for sure he was in heaven. And if he's in hell, or limbo, then they can discuss further options. |
| |
| MarzBar | One | 04/19/2006 03:25 am |

| You're imagery here is simply awesome! Thanks. |
| |
| BuffyRat | Prologue | 04/21/2006 11:17 pm |
| What a beautiful look into why Spike found fighting slayers so powerful... almost like his religion and certainly a purpose for his life. To take the chances and risks he never got to, but now he could try one thousand fold. I love it! |
| |
| kittiekat | Prologue | 04/19/2006 10:58 am |
oh how beautiful. I mean, absolutely horrible with the death and the bloodthirst, but ain't that partially what we so luv about this vampire? How his past just catapulted him with perfect aim straight to Buffy? Oh, you depicted this turning point of his existence with perfect precision and wonderful language.
I'm on to the next chapter! |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | Prologue | 04/18/2006 10:17 pm |
| You have me intrigued. I read the summary ... and now I've read the prologue. It really has me wondering how the two events are going to coincide ... what connection they have with her wish. I look forward to reading more. I hope that you have Chapter 1 ready soon. |
