Lovely story.  And I like that you don't make Angel or Giles into villains of the piece.  I always thought the writers needed to come up with better reasons that Buffy and Spike weren't running to eacho ther...  The Spike I know would have gone to her... or we would have seen his fear to go to her because of coming to terms with all that he'd done... or something... but anyway... i enjoyed this. 

This fandom isn't even close to dead.  Trust me.  If nothing else, I'm keeping it alive all by my lonesome!!  Seriously, I don't think you have anything to fear.  New people are still discovering Buffy b/c Buffy is a classic.

 But what are the implication of *no* illness *ever*..... hmmmm

Lovely story. Finally an Angel who is gracious in the face of resounding defeat(!) XD

Good point you caught,love! Liked it.

That is so lovely I realy love it

Very good emotional fic. It had a personal importance to me because in June of 1995 I was diagnosed with cancer a month before my wedding. By April of 2006 I was blessedly cancer free. Although I've had a few scares where they thought it was back, I've been in remission for 10 years now. So, this fic touched my heart. I am glad that I never had to get to that point where you had to say your last goodbyes, but I can tell you that the thought is very scary, even if you have the hope of getting well.

This was an excellently written fic.

great story!! it made me cry, and laugh and had a nice spuffy ending, I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing

AHHH how wonderfully sweet! Good story!

Wonderful, I really loved this story and the Dawson reference was cute.

fun read, thanks for the tale.

A wonderful take on that Angel episode. So totally unlike Angel to want anything good for Spike, and especially when it's Buffy.

This was such a good story.I like how their "wires" crossed,and neither knew how the other was feeling.Start a new story soon.

great story. Just glad that they finally got their chance.

Buffy is simply "stopping by"? That sounds indeed a bit strange. Mmm Buffy is ill? Oh she said she is dying. And apparently the had contact via telephone before. ~ And Spike gave Angel an idea, and not the turning one. I wonder what it is. Empty pool? The PTBs... Uh-huh... the trials are hard. The first was almost easy against the second one, but the third? That's very hard indeed. So Spike has to give his life and Buffy has to watch. Phew! Just as I hoped, the decision to go through with it was enough. Or not as it seems.. problems again? But Jeeves did give in. I forgot about the clause. Good that Spike was too stubborn to let Buffy go even if he took his time to catch her :) Loved it.

Wonderful!

Just beautiful - really enjoyed this story - keep up the good work

That hit in all the right places. Was this new? Or did I miss this somehow?
