Great! I hope there's a sequel
Thanks! Glad you liked it.  I suppose any of my season six fics in which Spike and Buffy end up together could be considered sequels. LOL  No plans to expand on this particular fic.

  Happy ending, I dug it, though season six is a tough season to write happy into if you stick to canonical events.

  One thing I noticed as I read a few stories in a row, is that you are a big believer in restorative sleep. (at least at this point of your writing, it's brought up at least once per story.) 

  Another fun story, I worry about the day I have nothing new of yours to read.
Well, when I first started writing, "fixing" unhappy season six was my main focus, so yeah - canon pretty much goes out the window. :)  I am very fond of sleep - perhaps that bleeds over? LOL On the other hand, it seems to be my canon/fanon that both vamps and slayers need the sleep in order for their extrordinary healing powers to kick in and do their job. :)

Love the way you left Spike all gobsmacked. Ah, true love..
LOL - never expected that, did he? Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hey, this came up at the Random Fic on the webpage - and I'm so glad it did! What a sweet, sexy and just plain *better* ending to Dead Things!
hee! Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Yup, it's all good. I hated the way they never resolved the issues raised in this episode... I think yours makes so much more sense, although Xander rescuing Spike from the alley, and then being so understanding of his relationship with Buffy does fall a little bit in the region of rather unlikely 'if onlys'...
LOL - well, every once in a while I like to give Xander a bit more credit than he's used to. :)

the ending was perfect...so very sweet and tender...love it...that would have been so much better in the show, if she'd learned from what she did and helped him, instead of forgetting all about it...

Hey, forget whatever silly title I may have come up with for this story. You don't need it. You could send this out with no title and it would stand by itself. I loved it; Spike was Spike, Buffy used her brains; and I'm not sure what planet Xander dropped in from, but I loved the new, I'm not a complete idiot, ask me how Xander. I was sad to see the story end, but the ending felt right. Thanks for a great one LOL Isabella
Thanks for the great review!

That was a very sweet ending to this one. That would have been one heck of a great way for it to have ended for real. Her finally coming to the realization of it all when she did that to him. Excellent story, Patti.
Thanks, I like to think she first began to realize he meant something to her at that point. Even in the show, she was nicer to him at her birthday party as though she'd reached some sort of comfort level with their relationship. Then Riley had to show up and blow it all to hell. Grrr
