oh no - another story that's too good NOT to follow. It's so hard to keep track! :)
Keep going - you've got a great beginning so far!

So, he did believe her. I like it. And, Xander is here just in time for fun.

I'm loving the story so far. And I really like the fact that xander interupted seeing how Buffy handles the whole situation is going to be extremely interesting and I really hope you don't make us wait to long for the next chapter, but I don't want to rush either lol so dont release it till you like how it looks GREAT STORY SO FAR KEEP IT UP

Wonderful chapter. I'm starting to really like this story. Xander interrupting them should turn out really interesting.

I wonder, how will Buffy react to her mate being attacked by Xander? A neat twist there and I can't imagine how Spike will react to what Buffy tells him. I hope he realizes that Buffy never intended to not tell him but I guess I will have to wait on you the writer to tell me...*anxiously waiting on edge of seat* :D

This is a wonderful story and I just love it! :D

ARRRGGG! You just had to end it there didn't you! You are evil!

Update soon please! I want to know what happens next!

Like the story so far. I hope Spike doesn't get too mad though. She was going to tell him, she just wanted to wait a bit. If only they could get rid of Xander real quick. ; ) More please.

yep, good old Xander with his impeccable timing and his nose firmly fixed in Buffy's love life. Looking forward to more.

Eeep!!! Don't stop there, please! Gah, such a fantab chapter, especially Spike's dream. Please, I beg you, more soon? Please.

Can't wait for Buffy to explain this. Great chapter.

ok, the previous statement(agreeing with buffy's reluctance to tell spike) was probably very wrong. now we have the whelp interrupting. with any luck buffy will jump all over him and his attitude. very good read, thank you.

Wow, Spike remember himself dying in the Hellmouth. Yup, they have some talking to do. Damn Xander! Glad when he gets that Spike's here to stay. I'd save Tara again and again and again, to hell with Kennedy. Thanks for the wonderful chapter, hope you'll be updating again soon.

Great story - I love second chances. Definitely looking forward to more soon!

Awesome story. I'm completely in love with it.What a marvelous way to irradicate all the misery of season 6. Love the dialogue between Spike and Buffy and the love scenes are just beautiful, so much emotion, love and caring between them.The interactions between the other characters are really well done also. It's just lovely, truly. I especially liked the scene where Buffy is talking to herself and justifying changing past history and relationships with the line about her friends always tampering with her life; well said!I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter; can't wait!!!!

Ohh, this is looking good so far, very promising. (Ok, so I have a weakness for timetravel fics anyway, but still.) The bit about the dream was a clever idea, especially the physical manifestation. Even in the BtVS verse, we never saw real time-travel, so I can see the characters having a hard time to simply believe it if someone told them they are from the future. After all, even if many of us love the idea of it, trying to think about it too much - or god beware, apply logic to it - will make your head explode. But with the dream, and the burn-mark, you gave Buffy something to back up her explanations, something to build on. Well done.

One small suggestion if I may. To me, the use of asteriks as emphasis was very jarring. When you spend a lot of time on the internet, you pretty much accept it as a general truth that whenever you see text encased in asteriks, that's meant to be an action. *smiles* See. So while it is possible to use it for emphasis, it also made me hesitate whenever it showed up. Maybe it would be easier to bold things for emphasis (since italics are thoughts). The html-code is like the one for italics, just replace the i with a b.

loved the chapter, loved the sweetness between them, and also spike's demanding answers..the dream was touching and intense, i totally loved it...can't wait to see more, love...

oh, and a little note from your beta, i went back and double-checked...it *does* say "peckish" -- which is correct, so...not sure about the other comment...? :P

Spike having the dream was very interesting...and them both having burns! Looking forward to finding out why that is happening. Eeek, Xander! *sigh* He is not going to make things easy for them, is he?

*little voice* Just one thing, sweetie... I think you meant peckish, not puckish.
