Interesting ideas.  Really didn't see the ending coming. 

Thanks

Blue

Great story - read this before and I love it just as much, probably more even, this time.  Hope that I will not be disappointed and that you did your sequel. 

Okay so I read this in one sitting so thats why I didn't review each chapter. I loved this! So many things happened to them that season that I can really see them forgeting some of it. Glad Tara made it though.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! Please write the sequal...please please please....i need to know the next part...Awsome Fic. best i read so far to be honest! Keep writing..specifically the sequel!

Oh that was interesting

can i be the first to say 'Shit!' i mean spike human arrrr. love the idea though nice one!infact i love the whole story really really goooooood!!!!! *claps* well done ;)

hmmm...can't wait to find out what it all means...excellent ending to a very good tale....off to read the sequel now :)

excellent rewrite. missed this when it was first posted. love the rant (ch 17?) thanks for the entertaining read. on to the sequel, thanks again.

bwahahahaha oh the possibilities! Probably going to have to hold off on the sequel until at least tomorrow (what a tasty treat to look forward to!). Excellent tale wonderfully told.

Kathleen

Very, very good.

WOW I love the story and can't to get started on the next one.

Just read this tonight so I can read Second the First. Good outcome so far even though you really ticked me off more than once. Teeheehee

OOO! YOU WICKED WICKED GIRL! I like it!! I think Buffy just got her half man half vampire! GREAT STORY! I am off to start the sequel!

OH they stopped Willow.

why is spike gone? this version of the speech was great, too....loved this chapter...more now :)

 

OH he stayed this time

i'm so glad tara's okay...can't wait to see what happens next though :)

 

Oh you still killed Tara I hope Willow doesn't go off the deep end

no...maybe it's just another trick! i hope so...on to more :)

I don't hate you! You asked us to hang in there and thats what I'm doing. Now, don't get all delusional and think that I am not mad, I am, BUT, I saw it coming....

 

Yep Xander being Xander wonder what is going on with Warren.

well some help *Xander* was! great chapter though :)

 

Okay that was strange'

wow...you did have me going with that one...so glad he just imagined it...but they need to find warren and stop him, soon! :)

YUP, you had me going for a minute there! And YES, you are evil! But evil can be fun!!

 

OH I can't wait to see the reactions

wow....this should be way interesting...but is warren gonna come rushing in wiht a gun? i really hope not! great chapter :)

 

Okay so she was in the future again, wonder if sh ewill go back to the past

yeah, something's so not right about this!! on to more :)

 

Oh no what is going to happen please tell me she is not going back to the future

oh no...what's going on? why did she pass out? connected with the mysterious bad from two chapters ago perhaps?? on to the next one! :)

I love the way this chapter turned out... especially when Riley was the one who noticed that Buffy glowed...  lovely!

Blue

 

Oh I am glad everything worked out

much better version of that episode...very much enjoyed it :)

OH I wonder what it could be.

hmmm....what was keeping them in the house? i'm very curious now...can't wait to see... :)

 

OOh, I hate Warren!

OH I am glad they worked it out

warren could end up being quite a problem, couldn't he? :( i'm glad that willow managed to control the magic though, and that buffy and spike worked things out .. great chapter :)

Think you made a very good decision taking this theme of their darkness and how this played out again -

 

OH that was great

I think it's fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with Buffy liking it rough. It's not rape if you want it. She knew what spike was capable of and she wanted it and let him do it. I have absolutely no issues with this.

i think it was reasonable the way you did it...i just hope she doesn't end up hurting him because of it, hope they can get past this :)

Hmm didn't ruin it for me, I would have thought future Buffy would have better control but really they are supposed to be super creatures and normal "rough" sex is taken a little further. Don't see a real problem since she pretty much wanted it, I did not read the word "no" from Buffy. I hope I don't sound like I would say that rape is ok but to me this sex scene was not rape just really rough, felt alot like their first time when they brought down the house in season 6.

 

OH nothing is wrong with the chip wonder what Tara will find out.

that's a switch, spike going to tara instead of buffy going to her...i hope they can work their way through buffy and giles' list and fix everything...great chapter :)

 

Oh that was good, and please say Giles is staying

that last part was so very touching and heartwarming....very sweet, well-written chapter, i thoroughly enjoyed it :)

 

Oh well that was different.

oh no!! what did willow do?? another great chapter, on to more :)

 

And your instincts were right!  Buffy is giving too much away albeit unintentionally. 

Surprising how the things slip into writing like that, love the way it turned out.

i'm glad she's telling him...i think it will help the situation...willow's still headed for trouble, though...great chapter :)

 

OH I am so glad that she realized that her friends would deal

the songs, again, were very appropriate, mostly....giles' song brought me to tears...and the ending was great...very good chapter, on to more now :)

 

I remember Money from 1959 by Barrett Strong..spearheaded Motown movement.   Then the Beatles revived it on The Beatles Second Album in 1963.
The kiss was perfect!

OH I am glad they are kissing.

very satisfying kiss...very sweet chapter...the songs were quite appropriate...on to more :)

Satisfied? Oooh, yeah. Your OMWF is great. Wonderful choice of songs.

"Money (That's What I Want)" was sung by the Beatles, among others. Josie and the Pussy Cat isn't even a real band.

 

OH no never underestimate Xander.

wow....so i wonder if the time travel truth will come out in the next chappie...some things are just meant to be, regardless of how they try to change them, i guess...great chapter :)

 

OH that was not good, wonder if she will go to Spike.

is it just my memory all wonky, or didn't willow being buffy's "big gun" happen in season 7? hmmm....was that a slip, or is willow somehow in on the time travel thing? interesting chappie...on to more :)

 

Maybe Giles needs to go to the council for her.

yes, that is exactly giles on that matter i think... :) great chapter...love that she doesn't have to work at the doublemeat... :) love the way you brought the nerds into it...but warren's gonna be trouble isn't he? great chappie :)

Geez Giles, give her the check anyway! MEN!

Oops with the soul comment....Spike forgets nothing methinks this slip will return to bite her in the butt.

Kathleen

 

Oh I loved the cookie monster talk

great chapter, thoroughly enjoyed it...can't wait to see how this sweet relationship between them progresses :)

 

Yep, shoulda held his hand in the first place!

OH that was sweet, and I am glad she told them

awww..that ending *is* sweet...i'm glad she told them the truth...can't wait to see what other changes come about... :)

 

That is a good question

unh-uh...i'm thinking the consequences might be different this time around...looking forward to reading more :)

 

I love that Buffy is not being rash in the circumstances!

OH I think that is a good idea.

i agree with you, they need to take it slow...i think she's handling it well, but i still think she needs to make it clear to her friends that spike is no longer an outsider...great chapter :)

All things in good time....lovely groundwork here.

Kathleen

 

OH I hope she finds him.

i so wish she had faced up to it all in front of her friends....but it might have been too much too soon...can't wait to see their reunion :)

great story so far.  love how you used the key's power to send them back in time.  cant wait to see what happens next.

Okay that was different

i like the changes to this...buffy remembers all that happened, so now she can fix it..can't wait to see what happens when she sees spike again :)

I think yeah!!! Buffy with knowledge of the next two years and not messed up like the first time...bring it on (and look out Spike!). K

I hope that Buffy fixes what went wrong this time. She has another chance! I love Dawn so far in this story - great character!

MUCH better than the way it really happened!

What an ingenious way of tapping into Dawn's power with the bloodletting!

OH this looks interesting.

Hi sinister - liked the use of Dawn's power - wondering why Joss didn't use it in Season 7.

great start, heartbreaking and desperate and so good :) can't wait to read the rest and see what happens :)

I don't think any of us would want them to have to touch Jonathan's bone *G*. Off to read more, love this so far. Excellent Andrew voice BTW.

Kathleen

Very good beginning - I like the intital set up and can;t wait to see how they figure out to go back in time. Very intriguing ficcie!

I read this story some time ago on another web site but since I like this site very much and I just read this story again, I just wanted to tell you that this is one of my favorite stories. I loved the way you changed season 6 but still had angst and passion in it. Lovely story. I´m reading the sequel now.... Hope you update soon on that one.

Ok...WOW is my first comment. Secondly - thoroughly convoluted pathway you drew us along but MAN what a rush! Thirdly - you must be prescient to have so accurately gauged what our reactions would be to each chapter (I swear I nearly spat my coffee up when you said something about us probably shaking our heads at the screen bemoaning the ruinage of the fluffy Spuffy...I was like "am I on candid camera or something? LOL") so kudos! And finally - looking forward to reading the sequel. Definitely two thumbs up!

Magic Bone in the crater! LOL! I like this begging, I am off to read more!

Fabulous story! Such a nice way of fixing season 6
