Aww, I liked this version of season and it can go so much further and off canon. It feels unfinished
Not unfinished.  I left it open to stand alone or be revisited.  One day I DO plan a sequel though.  Thank you,

I wish that there's been a 'finale' between the two lovers, but you know its inevitable.  What I really did enjoy was Joyce's role. I think she got less of a role in canon than she could have and that was unfortunate.  I like the way you drew her, and how she saw Buffy and Spike -- and how she let Spike in.  I loved the hug and how much Spike needed it.

The bits with Angelus were brutal and though they weren't fun to read, they felt frighteningly real.

This is one that I will revisit one day when I get a chance to do it the way I want to do it and not rushed.  I wanted it to hold hope that the reunion would happen and they would work things out but did and do plan to actually write it in time.

No, it was hard to write the Angelus bits too but I really wanted to be faithful to the character (and to the relationship I suspect vampire Angelus had with Spike for that matter).

Thank you....so glad it felt real.

Thanks. Good read. Wish it was longer :-)

What a Big Dose of Spuffy Pleasure - Love the story and how you tied in the series events plus change in the characters.  Loved your Joyce particularly and Oz.

Just read this in one sitting and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Fabulous characterisations, and wonderful, believable plot. Thank you for taking the time to allow Spike and Buffy to build a believable trust and friendship between them. And for having Buffy send Angel on his merry way once he returned, I thought it was bad enough that canon Buffy would so happily forgive and forget... after what your Buffy went through I really can't imagine that she could have.

I hope *crosses fingers* you have plans for a sequel somewhere down the track?

Hi. I’ve just read the whole story from start to end, and thought that I’d express my appreciations for a wonderfully crafted tale. First of all, let me say that the whole thing was extremely well written, with an excellent storyline and first rate characterisation. I particularly admired the way that you were able to interweave your story with the canon events so adroitly. This made for an excellent story, and it's only a pity that events in canon BtVS could not unfold this way. I should also mention how much I admired your portrayal of Angelus, he was suitably evil, and a really evil Angelus is something that I find many writers cop out on, but yours was a truly nasty piece of work ... well done! Truth be told, I admired your portrayal of all the characters, and greatly enjoyed your ability to express their thoughts and emotions in such a believable fashion. As a final point I’m glad to see (from your reply to other comments) that you plan a sequel to this story. It will be intriguing to see how your Spike progresses upon his return to Sunnyhell and the barriers you will put in the way of his getting together with Buffy. Once again thanks for an excellent story.
What a beautiful review! I am beyond touched by your words and will save this to reread on my days of insecurity.

Yes there is a planned sequel to this one in the making. I am delighted others are interested in seeing the difference with Spike's return under the circumstances.

Angelus was evil and there is no way in my mind to portray him in any other way and remain honest to the character. He was so unlike Spike that I never could find any redeeming charactistics in souless Angel at all. I didn't want to wallow in the evil or torture but wanted no shades of "good" to pop in either. He is as he is.

I am especially pleased that you felt the characters believable. That is one thing I strive for in my stories...proper character voice and behavior.

Thank you again.

Thank you! Yup I plan for a sequel ASAP (I have a couple of other writing commitments I need to finish first.). So glad you liked this story.

I loved this fic. You should do a sequel. :)
Yup, there'll be a sequel to this one and probably for Second Chances too. Thank you. K

Really hope you do a sequel. Kind of a sad way to end. {Sighs} The story was still a good one, but I always hope for a happy ending. Thought we'd have one. I'll hope for one in the sequel.
Yes, there will be a happy ending. They are only just starting to discover their feelings and have to get past some issues but the path is straight to each others arms. K

I hope Spike and Buffy have a chance when he gets back to Sunnyhell.
I'm going to do a sequel in 2006. I always have a happy end to my angst (or at least that glimmer of hope). I like my Spike happy and appreciated. K

An ending and a beginning all in one. Loved it to bits. Off to read more of your multiple updates. Thanks ever so.
Thank you! I am likely going to do a sequel to this in the New Year some time. Don't plan to make it syrupy but I always like my Spike to end up happy (or at least hopeful). K
