I'm really looking forward to more of this story, as I've enjoyed it very much so far.
good to hear; unfortunately, everything's kinda on hiatus what with holidays and work, but more's slowly being produced and will eventually be posted.

more please. i really like this story i hope that portal buffy's spike becomes un-dead again too. that would be awesome. if say he actually did survive and they set him to get buffy cause she is like stuck in the past or is it another demension ala SLIDERS.
it would be awesome, but i'm afraid that this story is much more 4s-buffy centric. maybe someone else can write that bit...?

The ideas shown and evolving, new paths to be explored, are fascinating. I'm impressed at how realistic younger Buffy's character is, but doesn't fall into the denial or anger that were a part of her thought process.
For Portal-Buffy, I'm glad to see she's happy and living now. It's clear she has deep feelings for Spike, but losing him didn't destroy her. I don't know if Portal-Buffy can get the guy in the end, but I think focusing on the younger Buffy and Spike is enough. Loved seeing the Scooby interaction in this chapter, and thought the Xander problem was handled beautifully.
Good job, please update soon!
realism, me? dear god, i must be slipping! *grins*
thanks, i love writing the chatty bits.

I love your story !! It'd be wonderful if you could come up with a way to give Portal-Buffy her Spike when she goes back home(like dimensions influencing each other or something...)Anyway this season 4 is perfect! :)
's the way things should have been, no? *grins* don't think i'm gonna do anything with portal-buffy's world, actually, bt it's a nice thought.

So glad you decided to continue even with the beta bailing. I appreciate your muse!
work's slow-going, but i'm on it!

back online now, and i'm loving the new updates. thanks for all your hard work.
thanks. more are coming, but it's all hustle-bustle these days and 'll be a bit.

very good read. more accurately fun chapter, thank you. the current buffy just might have less pain in her life.
"accurately fun", huh? i can work with that. and that's what i'm hoping - it would suck to get to the end of portal-buffy's stay and realize that some major logical inconsistency in what i already wrote meant that i had to have dawn and willow wipe everything... *is basically and essentially evil*

thanks for the review.

Super update, really enjoyed it.
It's a bit of a shock seeing the scoobies so unbiased and rational. Hope it lasts.
so it's my perfect world - i always liked the monster-fighting with group hugs and cocoa for afters more than joss' favorite uber-angst, so i'm darned well gonna write about it! *grins* glad you liked.

Love how they are ALL learning from Portal-Buffy really. Glad you are still bringing this lovely story our way too.

there were the threats to life and limb if i desisted, so... *grins*
cheers!

Why do I think Riley's going to do something stupid to Buffy? And go nowBuffy for actually listening to portalBuffy and trying to make some actual life improvements. Let's see if Ben getting taken out actually will get rid of Glory. And I loved your Firefly quote.
would riley do that (*grins*)?

there was a firefly quote? where? obviously i've seen the show WAY too many times, 'cause i didn't even notice. oops.

Hooray for really quick updates! I really like how Buffy is using her future self as a sort of sounding board to work things out. Also, love the original Scooby talk since it was lacking in canon around this time. It's good to see how this is changing everyone, not just Buff.
i knowthere've been times when i desperately wanted to know how things turn out - 's why i like time travel fics so much, i suppose. glad you're liking it!

Good chapter. Update soon. It's sad that Portal!Buffy's Spike is dead.It'd still be awesome if he fell out of love with her, and Portal!Buffy was convinced she drove the men she loved away.
i'm not really sure what you mean, but i'm glad you're liking the story.

I love the bit about 'tapping into the Slayer' and freaking Riley out, not too sure it was a good idea though when he's still all 'demon bad'. Love the way Willow & Xander both seem to be more accepting than 'our' W&X.
I need some more Spuffy though.....
i don't think she was really doing it on purpose; that's why she kinda freaked. but i'm glad you're still enjoying it. heh. spuffy-loving may be awhile, but some snark is on the way *grins*

Hey B, another good chapter. Hey, I'm not so great with the smackage, but I'm good at annoying pokage. That didn't come out right....lol. Definitely like both your fics, they stand out in a site with hundreds of stories. Later

i, of course, think my stories are the best of the best (okay, maybe not. but i'm still kinda fond.) it's good to know that they stand out to other people (who are possibly a _wee_ bit less prejudiced than myself) as well *grins*

just try to keep the pokage to a pg-rating, ducks. this message board's supposed to be kid-safe! ;)

most excellent! i, of course, like my own work, but it's good to know they stand out to others, too.

*grins* careful with the pokes, this is a PG-rated message board.

Wonderful; just wonderful! I love the fact that Buffy, Willow & Xander are all communicating; I always thought it was so stupid the way they all fell apart in S4; they'd been so close, and been through so much, and I never could understand how relationships that were so connected would fall apart in just a few weeks, even with the uber-Spike manipulation treatment! I love the fact that this Buffy is so open, both to her Slayer self, and to the grey areas in her life; please update again soon. And on a side note, if you're looking for beta help, I'd be happy to give you an assist (cause then I'd get to read the updates faster!! *Rubs hands together and cackles maniacally!!!*)
beta help'd be fantastic! first duty: make sure i haven't screwed anything up so far. i'll send you the next chapter once i've got it written out - it may be a few days, because i've used up my notes and started playing it by ear until the end, though. gotta love the enthusiasm.

yeah, my favorite thing on buffy was how the scoobies worked together - i hated it when everything went to pot. so in my assorted universes, all goes well *grins*
