I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this story from the beginning until this point.  It's definitely an interesting and wholly original viewpoint than any other AU season 6 fan fic I've read (and I've read a lot!).  I hope you'll continue this story.  :)

Thank you,
Veronica

I feel like I´m very hungry and someone just stole any available foot and throw me in an empty cage to suffer. How can  you  be so cruel not to write anything further? Please I`m starving here.You built up my expectations,making me curious about whats to come-and then you just stop-I know, its my fault- I should not read storys that are unfinished.Thank you for writing this-even so it seems you will never finish this.

I really wish you would have finished this story...*sobs in corner*
wanted to know new plat twist and end...

Thanks for the wonderful read though

I just found this story and I love it! All the twists and turns, Jenna the Slayer Ghost, drunk!Giles, Buffy with dark hair and a pierced tongue (she still hasn't looked in a mirror, yet, has she?), and poor lovelorn Spike. Always Spike. He's going to hate having to give her up again, poor woobie. Keep it coming.

very intense, a chapter full of intrigue and mystery...and love drunk!giles, very hilarious, and poor xander...can't wait to see what happens next, love :)

Buffy's not the only one having to adjust to her coming back. Hate that it was Angel's apartment that she went to though. It's going to hurt Spike to find her there, knowing this was where she needed to be alone. She's been at peace all this time, Spike's been in Hell and he's still in there. So many feeling's flying around, surprised all that emotion hasn't caused that dimension to be effected by it. Really glad Jonathon has stepped up to the plate. Update when you can, Amy. It's a great fic, thanks.

Why do I think Malena set a stage with her "run-in" with the 7 vampires? Most vampires don't use knives. Glad to see that this Jonathan actually has a conscience.

C'moooon, get to the her finding out the truuuuuth

My, my, my....what a world, this is...

Yea! An update! I had forgotten 'bout this li'l fic, but I really do like it and home to see more soon! :)

Sorry I missed this chapter. Malena's got it bad for Spike, hoping that Buffy will notice it and realize that he means more to her now. Now to your lastest update. Thanks Amy, it was a wonderful chapter.

I like this story a lot. I don't like Malena (even if it the name of a tango :P). She's really delusional if she thinks she can up Buffy's level *huff*

Hope to see more soon!!

Enjoyed that chappie, hun! Am wondering what Buffy will find in the diaries - and am still not liking Malena that much. How surprising!

Thanks ever so and really looking forward to more. *hugs*

Nice Chapter

Great story line. Looking forward to additional updates!

now there are two unhappy slayers. hopefully buffy will share what she learns from the watcher's diary, that this is not her reality. good read, thank you.

hmmmm....malena's not gonna be very happy about the way things are going between spike and buffy...something tells me she's going to cause trouble..great chapter, looking forward to more :)

Yay update! Hope Buffy starts realizing this isn't her home. The diaries will definately be a clue. Poor Spike. Wonder what he'll do when he realizes this Buffy isn't his Buffy and that this one will probably have to leave. Malena needs to be knocked out.

I hope the diaries will clue Buffy in on being in another dimension.

Can Malena die... horribly?

wow...sounds ugly....fascinating chapter, though....great job, love ;) very much looking forward to more :)

Hurray, a new chapter! This is such a complex story - so many things going on. I love the potential here for Buffy to actually fix several relationships that she didn't even help to screw up. That's a new, more proactive role for her. I'm also enjoying Jenna; what a likable character.

"the wait was worth it." glad we are going to see more of jenna. thanks for the fine read.

ohh very good chapter - so sad that there is no more chapters *pouts* very excellant fc i enjoyed it much!

Awww, you can't take Buffy away from Spike. Bad Demi!

Hi there, missed you over the summer, hope it was good. Does that mean Jenna's going to take Buffy away from Spike again? That's just so cruel, she's just starting to feel better about herself again and Spike. Where's the one that's supposed to be here instead? So many questions and W&H are going to start a war? If Demetrius knows about this war, why wouldn't he want the slayer there? It's really fantastic that Buffy doesn't want to treat Spike tha way that she used to but he is there to help. I hope she realizes that soon. Great job, hope you can update again soon. Thanks for the great read.

Intense!

lol...quite the reaction i would have thought :) poor jenna...wonder what will happen next :)

ohh i like this new character - how funny that buffy screams as a first reation - excellent chapter - i simply adored it!

Yey! I'm so glad I finally remembered to check for updates! I love this story, Can't wait to see what happens

wonderful read. fantastic chapter ending. thank you.

Nice character. This is going to be very interesting. Can't wait to see how this is going to unfold. Buffy doesn't want to go back and neither do we. Who will take her place? Great chappie Amy. Thanks.

Oh, I would scream too... then promptly have a heart attack!

great chapter

OUCH! I heard that scream all the way over here...

mind you I'd scream too if a ghost-girl woke me up...

mmm spike-snuggly

Great chapter!

I guess there's no really non startling way for a ghost to introduce herself.

Cool! Awww, Buffy's scared of the nice ghostie...and this will wake Spike, too. Gotta work quick, Jenna. Gotta get her to shut up so you can talk.

awwww...that was so sweet...moving and tender and intense, and so well-written...love it ;)

awww very sweet - still loving the twisty tunry world - very very excellant story and chapeters- i don;t think i like this new slayer and i can;t believe she doesn;t even care that someone died for her to get this job

shakes head!

Sooooo not liking Malena... can she die?

Ooo, they really need to talk soon so she can find out she's not in the same world. It will be a comfort to her to know that her world is still out there with everyone quite possibly safe and sound.

excellent update. if(when) you get buffy back to her sunnydale is she going to realize her spike is the same as the spike in this world? thank you for the very enjoyable read.

Oh, I can't wait till they find out Buffy's from another demension. More please:)

There you are! It's been so long. You did it again, another great chapter. This Spike is just as loving and caring as his counterpart and the interaction between them is so tender and caring. At least now, Buffy can express what and how she feels. Hope you will update soon.

Loved it! Nice turn by nasty Malena

Well I find it a little hard to believe that Spike would still be in love with Buffy after the way the "other" Buffy treated him. I know he's love's bitch but I think from what I've read in the previous chapters that I don't think even he would have much love left for her.

come on, jonathan, do the right thing here....*bites nails*...this chapter was great, loved how spike proved his love to buffy, and willow's reaction was very real...great chapter :)

excellant cahpter sweetie - this is a really great story and i am completly in awe of it. great job and brilliant writing!

when are they going to get it?? i'm so impatient

Really enjoyed what you have written so far. Very intriguing concept.

Thanks.
Liz

Will this chapter you just had to make me cry *sniff*. Buffy/Willow Buffy/Spike maybe things are getting a little closer to normal or at least as normal as this world you've created for us, can be. And alright maybe Johnathon's not a complete weasel, maybe only a squirrel, at least he did remember what Buffy did for him. Maybe he'll come over to the light. Update as soon as you can. As Oliver said "More please."

wonderful update, spike at his best and a surprising jonathon. thanks for thegreat read.

Very good update, I will be waiting for more!

I really like that Buffy realizes all that Spike has done for her and that she and this Willow conntcted. I am looking forward to seeing what help Jonathon gives. Thanks for the update.

you know, someone's gonna kill Andrew before the info gets out, and then we'll find out that some of the info miraculously did get through to Buffy at the last moment... lol, I've been watching too many mystery movies :)
Great update,

Good chapter.

Can't wait for Buffy and Spike's discussion, where she tells him the differences from her world. They REALLY need to talk.

Good for Jonathon. Never a bad kid, just wanted to belong somewhere, and made stupid choices.

so very emotional and intense...you've drawn me into this story, this alternate world...love it :)

oh sweet alteranate reality. I absolutly adore this story. really really fab. I can't wait to see what happens next - this is wonderful!

*grumbles at angsty wankers* lol

Oooh, Thank you for killing off Angel, now we know why another slayer was called and hey, Xander is Giles' roommate? Who else is there to kill off? You little death dealer! Great read.

Great exposition—this recap has answered a lot of nagging questions (if only serving to deliver more shock value…) I’m really liking Nicolas—who’da thunk? A watcher with a soul? And having Miss Lilah around is always good times—she’s so awesomely ev0l. But *sob* for Angel—and for Darla and Connor too, for that matter. And poor, broken Giles. And Faith going all Dark Phoenix! Is there anyone you WON’T kill??? ;) I guess I shouldn’t complain—at least you didn’t kill Xander… Loving these wonderful, broken shells of the characters we know.

But I’m getting slightly worried about you—between Spike, Willow, and Giles, you’re revealing an encyclopedic knowledge of all things alcoholic. Do we need an intervention here? *wink, nudge*

Just found this story and ack! you can't leave me there. I must know what happens. Spike inside Buffy's mind is great and I really want to know how he gets her out. Please update soon:)

great chapter

Neat! Such an interesting world you have created. Look forward to more. Like Nicholas BTW....sounds like William would have been.

Kathleen

Pretty horrible AU. Will Buffy be able to make a difference?

very good read. thanks for the excellent chapter. one question: if spike is consistent, does that mean that xander will be also? i mean, a worhtless ass.

Just read the story up to now. Very interresting this new world. Can´t wait to see what happens next. Please update soon.

Great update, I feel their pain. Poor Giles, he is so broken. I am eager for he next chappie.

Just read all 11 chapters...quite an alternate world you've created. Love that Spike caught on right away...they'll have a lot to talk about when Buffy comes out of her head. Shouldn't take much to realize that she's from another dimension.

And wow to all the other stuff. Imaginative.

Damn you sure killed off a lot of people in this chapter. So was Faiths death what called the new slayer? I seem to remember that no new slayer was called after Buffy jumped in season 5 but as this is an alternate reality kind of thing that might not be the same.

oh wow...that last bit did it, pet...brought me to tears...he has to make her see that he willingly will stay with her, because he loves her...great chapter, pet :)

ahhhh that was awesome - loved the interactions and everything -so perfect!

Ohhhhhhh my sweet spikey *pounces*

Talk about break your heart last line! Poor Buffy, everyone did leave her between the two worlds, except Spike of course! Great chapter.

Awww! *sob* So beautiful! You’re making me fall in love with Spike all over again! (Heh—and hopefully Buffy too!)

Wonderful! Very interesting developments, I am so into this.

hope everyone realises soon that this isnt their Buffy and that Buffy treats Spike better. hoping for more soon.

Nice going Spike! He gets what is making part of her miserable and may actually get through to her. Will he figure out the AU problem here?

great update. spike is the same in both worlds. thank you for the fine read.

so maybe that's why buffy in this world became so hard so much earlier...hmmm....interesting chapter, pet :)

oh very nice twists. Joyce the vampire i loved it! Great chapter!

what the bloody hell??

Holy Crap! this is freakin great! Willow's going to need to take some of Tara's meds and Spike going in to help...Brilliant! Megan and your "sisters" must be so proud of you!

And the masterfulness continues—this trip through Buffy’s head has me totally sucked in—you’ve really bumped it up a notch with these last couple of chaps. The twist with the white room and the capsules had me floored, and broke my heart at the same time. And Spike’s experiences in her mind are so touching! But dude! Joyce!! See, now I know you’re just entertaining yourself, toying with all of our heads/emotions. ;) And you killed Angel, too! Will it ever end?? ;)

You're certainly enjoying our annoyance and irritation aren't you? Can Spike get her out of her doppleganger's head?

oh dear i have to wonder what is going to happen to buffy. if she will be able to stay believing in her truth or not

vamp joyce would have been interesting. spike is going to need help when he gets out of this buffy's mind. good read. thanks

SHE WAS WHAT????....!"#¤%&...how the bleedin hell did that happen...explain missy!!...anyway that one blew my socks of...i love it when that happens hehe...good chapter...keep it up

Joyce is/was a vampire! And how on earth did that happen? That's so not gonna make poor Buffy feel any better - you know that, right? *gulps*

Will be waiting for more with the fingers tapping - think of my poor nails and make it soon. Please? Thanks ever so, hun. Brills chapter. *hugs* xxx

wow...that sequence was done very well...i loved it, great job :)

poor buffy - i wonder if willow will figure out how to help! Very good chapter!

ohhhhhhhhh *covers eyes*

So another slayers got the hots for Spike but who could blame her? Loved the visual of the creepy circus. Where's the Xan man? Is he showing up anytime soon? (FYI: Spike can't meet anyone's gaze through a mirror, can't see his eyeballs or anything else.) Other than that...this is becoming an awesome, but sad story. *hugs* to you.

Also: Hmmm… Old acquaintance, eh? Wonder who that could be… And damn, Malena’s hot!! But can’t hold a candle to Buffy, not for our Spike. *pets Malena* Plus, she’s a bitch. ;) But I do feel for her—unrequited love sucks. Umm…question, though. How can Malena see Buffy in Spike’s lap in the rear-view mirror? *cocks head* And what happened to Xander?? *bites nails*

OMG, your trip through Buffy’s mind is so poignant and heartbreaking! Gah, the torture of it all! I’m so impressed at your choices of scenes to replay in Buffy’s mind—they really hit home. Masterfully done!

good update. willow is going to need therapy after visiting this buffy's mind. thanks for the read.

WTF is going on in Buffy's psyche? Will Red figure out that this is the wrong Buffy stuck here? More of this confusing story please.

Squee! New chappie!

Brilliant work! I cannot wait to read more!

oh wow...it's jonathan? i find myself already hoping that when it comes to it, they can get him out, rather than hurt him...great chapter, pet ;)

ohhh very intriging - i am enjoying this and am wondering how everyhthing has changed - lovely lovely story

Jonathan? eep

Yes it does! so the little weasel's chosen his side. With all the wackiness... it must be Tuesday! Another good chappie. Thanks.

Heehee, Dave! I heart Dave. And ZOMG Jonathon! Little weasel. The plot thickens, indeed…

great chapter

Sirk is an interesting development. Will Willow help Buffy come out of her trance? More story please.

I can't wait to see where this new development is going. I enjoy your story and am looking forward to reading more.

An apt title for this chapter indeed. Reminds of that line from the Halloween episode "poor lost little lamb". Will the Guardians be able to help her, who are they sending to her, can or will Willow help reach her, and what of Spike during all this? Thoroughly fascinating reading - please update soon!

This just gets more and more interesting.

I'm really enjoying how this story is evolving. Looking forward to more.

another player in this AU, and the guardians try to fix their problem. at least spike is consistent. very good read. thanks

oh no!!! and she did it to save dawn!!! how very sad, so many cahnges...and i so dont trust this malena character...is she like this dimension's faith?

oh no whimpers whimpers not my dawnie! *sniff* good chapter sweetie

I had been wondering where she was...

Jeez, your killing me here. Dawn gone too? That will crush the slayer, at least she'll have Spike and that can only mean...Spuffy lovin?? Soon I hope! Another good read.

*iz floored* Oh. My. God. You killed Dawnie! *sob* (Actually, I think I’ll live—be nice not to put up with her whining and tantrums… ;) And again, me likey the darkness.) Wow—you packed a whole lot of intrigue into this one. A new slayer! You know, I always wondered why someone else wasn’t called after she died—that really bugged me about the canon version. And I like the potential for conflict introduced by Malena’s crush on Spike. And now W&H’s involved! Excellent. And evil, nasty Hank Summers. We hates him.

woo, interesting world Buffy finds herself in! I'm hooked.

Kathleen

many things are very different; some much the same. enjoying the tone you are setting. love the fic. thanks for the read.

Ohh you killed off Dawn....now that wasn't very nice if you ask me. Interesting about the new slayer, how much is different in this universe compared to canon one?

Wow! The 'other' Buffy sure seems to have burned her bridges with her friends. And my jaw just dropped at Hank's callousness. Grrr!

Malena appears to have a little case of the hots for Spike and I reckon she's just offering Buffy a place to stay to see more of him - but that's my suspicious mind for you! LOL

Loved the chapter, Amy, and can't wait for more. Thanks ever so, hun. xxx

Ah, so i *was* right about Dawn!

Interesting chapter; very believable alternative universe you're creating here. The details all make sense as we find them out. Very well thought out world!

Loved the bit with Buffy and the pierced tongue; very clever writing! And Malena is interesting so far. I presume Faith is also out of the picture?

whoa...is this stranger her watcher in this dimension? my heart is breaking for her, it's got to be so very strange...excellent chapter, love :)

rereading to gte caught up - so curious to what happened with the watchers! I cant wait to find out what is going on!

*falls over* My best friend Aimee loves Shiraz.... and she happens to be a redheaded wiccan.... *blinks then quakes in fear* lol

Girl, this is getting better by the second! The town? no Giles? an incapacitated Tara? This is great stuff!

Ooooh. Nice twist with the change in watchers—totally didn’t see that one coming. Still loving this different, darker world!

blinks ... but what do you mean there is no more. blinks blinks ... but i want more.... I stayed up and everything to read this and there hads to be more.... refresh.... refresh.... still no more... Amy..........

Does this universe have a different watcher? Is this just a visitor? More story please.

Good story! It sounds like Buffy has really ended up in a screwed up world. I am dying to see why she had changed so much in that world and where Dawn and Xander and Giles are. Please update soon!

Hmm... I wonder who this new watcher guy is?  Or, is it a twisty sort of thing?  Loved how you went into detail with the emotions within each character!

Excellent! Poor Buffy. poor Spike and who the hell is Nicholas? And what happened to Giles and... Yep, many questions which I shall look forward to being answered in due course.

Thanks ever so, Amy. Really looking forward to more. xxx

oooh, very interesting! I was right about Tara-- she never got fixed in this world. And I'm guessing Giles went home to England? Looking forward to finding out what's going on here!

You really captured poor Buffy's sense of disorientation well. ouch!

good update, but need much more. thanks for the read.

Interesting.

i think once buffy comes around a bit, spike may be pleasantly surprised...seems real!buffy was nicer to him that bizarroworld!buffy...even if not by much...more now :)

I think people were confused because I've read a couple stories were at least one died, but they both switched and what not... can't remember the names tho...

A little surprised that Buffy's so violent towards Spike. In her universe she didn't hate him anymore but there must be a point, so I'll wait. It really is good though. Kudos!

really liking the ficcie very good start very nice twisty world. I like - I like a lot!

well,at least,spike appears consistent. thanks for the read.

Wow.  And of course, he doesn't realize that she isn't the same Buffy he knows.  Definitely plot twisty.  :)

Scrummy, darling! There's poor Buffy dashing about in a nightmare, in a world she doesn't know yet isn't her own. And Willow... not too helpful there.

Am eager to find out ore abuot this strange place you've created.

Thanks ever so and really looking forward to more. Hugs, sweetie. xxx

Which Buffy is this and in which AU? Once again, Spike is the only one trying to help her. More story please.

Interesting story and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Interesting.

wow...that darker buffy from that dimension sounds interesting... :P lol...wonder how he's going to feel about the changes in her

I like the makeover ^.^

Wow! you really are putting it out there, love the twist and no more Angel right? because... BARF!!! that was hard on my stomach. Good work.

So I'm *finally* getting a chance to read one of your fics—figured I’d start with the most recent one, since I seem to be a masochist who subjects herself to WIPs. And you don’t disappoint! I’m totally intrigued by this new world you’ve created—there’s a big twisted part of me that likes it when writers go really dark with the characters, into horrific AUs and stuff, and this seems very promising. Looking forward to reading the other chaps this weekend!

Wow what a dark Buffy - me likey - darn you I am supposed to be in bed.... and now I can';t put the ficcie down... So yummy - I can;t wait to find out what happens next.

Wowee!  That is most definitely a different Buffy than we know!  I like how you are taking a drastic spin on this story!  Poor Spike.  I feel so badly for him.

New world! Cant wait to read more about it.

Thanks for a great update.

Great chapter, hun! Am really eager to find out what is gonna happen next. Please don't make me wait too long! *sobs into tissue*

I think there's at least one slayer in need of a beat down. And the place of the Bangel sex (shudder) is significant. I think either Angel asked where he lived or Buffy took him there to be as cruel as possible.

wow! very different world here, can't wait to see what you do with it!

very good first few chapters thanks for the enjoyable read. do we receive a drawing of the tattoo?

*snort* Dave ;) i just spit pop everywhere

whoa...so she ended up in a different dimension...weird...wonder what it will be like :)

LoL, I was going to check out this fic and was weirded out that I recognized the first chapter then found out I had reviewed it... wonder why I forgot to add it to favourites or continue reading or whatever, lol

Fascinating, can't wait to see where this is going. Very interesting you've got my attention.

Very intriguing... I am interested to see where this ficcie is going to go... can't wait to read more in the morning. Great start *huggles*

Wow!  Willow really goofed up.  Or, perhaps the broken urn which kept Willow from finishing the ritual created the chaos?  Either way, it's going to be an interesting ride!  Good chapter.

great set up can't wait to see where buffy is and how th eothers cope withoput her

You have to get worried with the PTB lose things. {chuckles} Look forward to more.

Still loving this to bits. Am getting excited now that you are getting into the plot more and can't wait to see what happens next (cough!). Thanks, Amy. xxx

ark!! please update.. i like this heaps!!!

Good grief. Poor Buffy; stolen out of heaven and deposited into an alternate dimension. More story please.

ohhhh cool, can't wait to see what happens!

eager to see where Buffy ended up

hot dame that good
more please sir i'd like more please

This is the first thing that I've read of yours and it's GREAT!!! So raw and powerful and filled with so much emotion... it's what he would have felt if we were privy to his thoughts. Can't wait to read more. Thanks

Very good start to the ficcie. I really enjoyed it now that I had time to try and get a little of my reading done. Nice descriptive beginning - can't wait to see what happens in the next chappie.

AA - really intense death scene! And, the heartless Scoobies won't let Spike touch the girl he loved. Perfect. In a mean writerly kind of way. The idea that Buffy dies when she closes a hell dimension with her blood made no sense because the writers already established with Angel that you get sent to another dimension (hell or otherwise). Angel didn't leave a corpse lying around. Looking forward to reading the rest.

God bless you, girl...  That was fantastic.  Your words have such depth.  I found myself stopping and re-reading where Buffy jumped.  Not because I didn't get it mind you, but because I felt like I was there!  I can't wait to see what you've written next... Gotta go find out now!

Awesome way to kick this one off. Very moving.

Great start! I can't wait for the next chapter.

*squee* Oh, Tigger! Wonderful start, truly stupendous setting for more - and dark, my favourite part of the dapple - to come! Huge, rib-cracking hugs for all the nice (bloody marvellous!) words you threw my way. Be sure thay have all been caught and put in a special little treasure pot here next to the puter. Will be peeking at them again on days of blue and ginning my chops off! You are a brave soul to step out of your comfort zone and I hope you adapt to the new feel soon. So do not want you uncomfy, Amy! Are you gonna have to drop the 'Angelic' off your name after this fic? LOL To say that I avidly awaiting more would be an understatement of monumental proportions - and I do so hate to understate! I'm off to squee and bounce in privacy now. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift - and I ain't just talking about the fic here, missy! *HUGS* xxx

oh awesome!! Fantatic start!! I'm so happy Sue got you started in this direction! *hugs you* Can't wait for more

This opening is pretty much of a teaser. More please.

Neat start and the story summary sounds really promising. If the rest is anything like the first chapter, count me in.

Awesome beginning, Amy. Can't wait to see where you go with it.

Eeep, poor Spikey *hugs* Curious to read more

Ok...wow. I have no words...Okay, I think I found some... ;) That was incredible!!! Beautifully written! I appreciate a lot of good fic but it takes a lot to move me to tears, and you did!!! I can't wait for your next chapter!!!!

NO need to be nervous, my dear. It was fabulous! Your descriptions are exquisite. I can't wait to read more.
