I love the premise of Joyce being alive in this timeline - wonderful beginning.

Poor Buffy seems very confused by everything that's going on. I like her neediness about her mom and how she and Spike seem to be insinctively connected

Thanks for the feedback, and welcome to the story. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of it as well!

It’s going to be interesting to see what kind of difference Joyce’s presence will make for Buffy.

Thanks. The toughest task writing this was sorting out where Joyce could and couldn't make a difference, and also remembering that the characters don't know she's not 'supposed' to be there.

oh very nicely done! I've never seen a season six like this where Joyce is still alive. It's one of those concepts that SOMEBODY should have thought of. ;) Guess somebody did. You're doing great! Keep it up. Can't wait to see more. :)
Well, the Joyce idea was Shan's. I just ran with it. It worked in nicely with some ideas I was already working on, and it gave me a good starting point for a way to make the season six era not quite so dire. I hope you'll continue to enjoy it!

Excellent start. And it's really well written.

Had to read this. Anything with Joyce and to have her relationship with Spike in print, I'll read it every time. Excellent start. Glad that Spike's the one who found her and Buffy asking if this was hell, was so heartbreaking. Great read, thanks.

There were a few grammer problems like "They'd made a mistake and now They'd corrected it, sent her to this place." that you might want to fix.
Over all I really liked it and I hope to see more of this story very soon. Good start! =)

Very interesting start. You captured the disjointedness Buffy perceives beautifully here-- it's all harsh and bright, isn't it?

Looking forward to seeing where you take this one!

Great start! Can't wait to see where this goes!

Wow...ouch. Definitely a different world if Joyce is able to live through the tumor, etc. Buffy won't spiral down so hard, and Joyce will watch out for her loved ones.

Very nice beggining. Loved how Buffy was using her families clothes instead of her own. Can't wait to see where this goes and the effect Joyce will have on everything.
