I liked! I really really liked. I'm curious now though. What if Whistler had gotten the right vamp to begin with? How would that have turned out?

Wonderful story, all of it.  A very great alternative to season 6.  I think the best part, though, was that Spike did it all without his soul, like we all knew he could.  I loved this so much I even read some of it at work, where the policy is "don't use internet for anything personal!" and nearly anything interesting is blocked.  Well, I know of two computers that can still get on BSV, so, I read, and I enjoyed.
Thank you, I am honored.  I appreciate  your reading and commenting.   k

Positively a lovely Spuffy Treatment - an excellent way to give both Buffy and Spike, all the Scoobies a second chance.  Second Chances all around.

Thanks for the wonderful poetry - I loved Pablo Neruda - and his Love Sonnets -

Thanks for a wonderful read -
Thanks!  For some reason I always picture this pair when reading Neruda (love him too).  I'd like to think they all would have benefited with a bit of thought.  Glad you enjoyed it.  k

I loved this fic. It was beautiful and in character. It also fixed many of my issues with season 6 which I really enjoyed. I'll defineley have to check any of your other stories.
Thank you!  So glad you found it in character.  Season 6 had some wonderful things but also some really messed up turns that I keep going back there to "fix" things.  Glad you enjoyed the story and hope you enjoy my other ones. I'm still writing but don't post WIPs any longer so it may be a while before I post any new ones.  Thank you again.  k

Wow!  If Joss had ever been able to follow up the series with a TV movie, this would have been the one I'd like to see!  There was so much going on as you so wonderfully rewrote season 6 that I could never find a good stopping place...hence I stayed up almost all night for two nights straight until I had read it all.  It was well worth all the tired yawns at work the past two days!!!  Your work is always excellent, but this is the best piece you've ever written: well plotted, super character voices, fast-paced, and thoughtful insights.  You should be very, very proud of this story!
Thank you for the lovely feedback!  I am honored you gave up sleep for this (I do that too and know what you mean).  I am blushing at your lovely compliments on my writing and pleased you think this one of my best.  So very glad you enjoyed it.   K

That was a really amazing read - I love how you kept so much canon and still changed so much.

Thanks for the hard work
Thank you sweetie!  I do try to weave with canon when I can.  Working on a few more and don't think of it as hard work at all....a joy.   K

excellent wrap up to a fine tale.  (even though you had to redeem buffy and xander's friendship.) thank you for the fun read.
I tried to remember the moments in S7 when Xander was showing signs of maturing...that hand on Spike's shoulder in Lies My Parents Told Me for one showed he had it in him to actually grow.  Thank you.  k

I love all your stuff and this did not disappoint.  It goes into my favorites list.  Thanks so much for writing it and fixing Season Six!
*blushes*  Thank you so much for your kind words.  Glad I made S6 better for you too (one reason I write is to "fix" things for me).  k

Wow. I thought I was at the point where I had read all the good fanfiction out there but I was wrong. This was exactly what I was looking for!

It wasn't so much a fanfic as a story IMO. It was really well written and the plot line was well planned and thought out. I really loved seeing your view of what went wrong in season 6, I don't think I've ever seen someone do it the same way you have.

Thank-you for entertaining me for a couple of hours :D
*blushes*  Thank you.  So glad you enjoyed the story.  My pleasure to entertain.  I'm working on a few more but won't post until they are complete....RL has a way of buggering up me posting WIPs. LOL.  Thank you again for the kind review.

Outstanding! I should have reviewed each excellent chapter, but I couldn't pause long enough, I needed to hurry on to the next to see what was going to happen! I particularly love the way that Spike didn't realise the soul had gone, but managed to do the right thing without it, proving that he didn't really need it in the first place. You also had believable logic to cancel out the appearance of the FE.
One of the best 'let's go back in time and fix things' fics I have ever read. In fact I enjoyed it so much I might just go back and read it again....
I don't mind a review at the end....just to know it was read and enjoyed is all that matters.  You please me so much saying it is worth a second read!  Thank you!!!

Excellent story all the way through.I love how the addition of Giles torpedoed Riley's set up of Spike. The aftermath of that makes me think that there may be a lot of trouble )maybe even a divorce) in Riley's future.
I'd like to think Sam made life very uncomfortable for Riley off screen...he deserved it for still interfering in his "ex" girlfriend's life that way.  Actually Even what they did on the show would have been reason for an argument IMHO.  Thank you.   k

will not bore you with my thoughts on xander. but he does make it easy to dislike him. very good read, thank you.
Ahhh he is actually fairly complex though.  Quite brave and loyal in so many ways and a survivor of a terrible childhood.  ... then comes the blindness, jealousy and bigotry.  It is easy to make Xander a villain but important to remember the rest as well.  Thank you.  k

Nothing Normal         
have to enjoy xander consistency. he is always an ass. spike's best advice (getting help) is paying rewards already. very good read, thank you.
Thank you.  Yes, she really did need help not having even more dumped on her...the girl had a breakdown before she even had to dig out of her grave for heaven sake!  Thanks.  k

“I shall endeavor to channel my inner Roger Daltry then,” he promised.
Oh, that made me giggle.  Channelling his inner rock star by using words like "endeavor", lol Giles. 
Thank you.  It seemed the way Giles would put it.

Surprised Spike didn't try to stop Xander... but Giles did a good job. VERY worried about Willow.
I think Giles would get throught to Xander faster than Spike since Xander would likely just think Spike is a demon and to be ignored.  Yes WIllow has problems.   k

she final voices her thoughts. sure, it's at the end of a rant, but she does say it out loud. fun read, thank you.
It just seemed the perfect time for her to let it be said (I just had to make sure Riley was there to hear it too...the demon in ME lol).  Thanks!  k

Awww, yay!! She luuurves him! Shame it had to come out like that but yay! Stupid Riley needs a slap upside the head.
Poor Spike doesn't know what to believe but Riley has no trouble seeing the truth.  He needed a literal slap, yeah.  k

Live With Some Missing Pieces         
even in canon, there was so much hope in that scene with them on opposite sides of the door. so much despair when, as here, she turns and walks away. very good read, thank you.
Oh yes!  That scene was packed with emotion.  We all acknowledge JM's ability to act rings around people without saying a word but SMG did a fine job of that too.  This is a stand out scene in canon and I was so worried I couldn't do any justice to it at all.  Glad you liked it.  k

buffy is actual thinking!  tried the "Don't wanna think...." usually does not work too well. very good chapter, thank you.
I figure Spike turning her down was like a slap to the face of a hysteric...it got her attention and made her start to do some thinking.  Thank you.   K

Just stopping to say I really like what you've done. I think Spike might have chose to do this if he had the chance. Can't wait to see where you're going... onto the next chapter.
Thank you!  I do think Spike wanted to help Buffy and if he felt he had the chance to try something else he would have done it.  K
