If Buffy goes back to find Spike I wonder how she will like William? I'm pleased to see Buffy finally putting first the one who loved her most.

Of course Riley would notice the ring first!  Buffy is a possession to him... I'm happy you gave Buffy a chance to really think about how she would do without modern conveniences and to weigh that against what is most important to her. 

This was exactly what Buffy needed, to do, give serious thought to all the ramifications of her decision.  Now she can go ahead with a clear mind... squeeeeeee

I been loving your story since the first chapter. I'm glad Buffy didn't change her mind. Can't wait  see if it's William or Spike or however you write up until the next chapter.

Buffys thought process was done in a very good way. All the things she had to think about.

   Wow, I was not sure wether she was going to go through with the time traveling. 

  To tell you the truth, I had been under the assumption that if Spike remembered as Buffy did, he would get himself vamped again and waith.
  Now I hink Buffy is going to save William from just that fate.
  Without Dru, who did.choose Spike, who knows if whoever he could get to sire him wouldn’t just flat out drain him.

  Then again I am probably way, way off.

  Looking forward to more. Awesome job.

I don't think the Powers were trying to be cruel. They just wanted her to make an informed decision. To really understand all that would change for her and everyone she knew. I'm glad she made up her mind. To know that there is a love out there that is wonderful and perfect for you and to not be able to go to it would crush your soul. She might miss Willow, Xander, Tara, Anya and Giles but she can make new friends in her new life with Spike. But even if she doesn't she'll still have him. And that seems to be a fair trade.
