This is such a sweet story.  Spike should get nothing less.

Nice idea! I really liked the first part, not so sure about the solution, though; personally I would rather have him experiencing a second chance with a Buffy knowing about their past, rather than just dropping him into another version of their life.
 Thanks for reviewing.  I hope you read this response.  I love every single persons different take on this story, and that was the point.

I really liked the story, and the concept, however, I didn't really like the ending. I dunno... it seems to me, at least, that Spike's real wish would be to be with Buffy as she is. He loved her slayer side, and he loved being a vampire, although he didn't like certain things that went with it. So to me, a more realistic or ... Spikecentred wish would've been to go back to Buffy, say through being sent to Angel in the amulet or whatever. Like it would've worked better as a ... in between piece.

Not to knock you or your vision, cause I can entirely see where you're coming from. I really don't want to offend you, cause the story was good, I just found the ending unrealistic... if that makes sense.
Ashlie - I am not offended at all!  I am glad you took the time to read and review :)  I must however point out one thing that apparently I didn't get across to you.  The whole premise of the story was "was it a dream?"  Did Spike dream his meeting with St. Peter?  Did his self conscious analyze his own life in a dream?  Did he dream the whole "slayer/vamp verse"?  I wanted to see how each viewer perceived it.  You saw it as he went to heaven and simply chose to go back to Buffy... but as humans.  This view to me seems plausible as Spike did love being a vampire, but he did have issues with it as you pointed out; he loved Buffy above everything and all he wanted for her was to be happy.  He saw her struggle to be the Slayer, but he also saw her grieve never being able to have a normal life.  He never "voiced" his choice to the reader or St. Peter as far as we know... maybe St. Peter got it wrong?

There is no wrong way to view this.. I have no idea what he would have chosen.  I think he would never have been happy with Buffy as an immortal, and Buffy a mortal.  But this wasn't about changing everybody's fate.  What I wanted was reviews like yours.  So thank you, your honesty is great.

You know, I liked the whole thing, up until Spike's "gift" at the end.  I thik it'd have been better if he'd going into Heaven and sat down to wait for Buffy just inside the gate, or something.  This just seems, well, kind of like he's gone to a Heaven crafted just for him, and it's not real, but he thinks it is?  Not real, just a really nice construct. 

Oh, and in the sentence "I see it in your recollection of your sorted past.” I think you meant "sordid."


Let me first say thank you for reading and reviewing.  This piece of fiction was a vision, a tale woven into Spike's mind.  Was it real?  was it a dream?  You as the reader could choose.  The only point I meant to make was that in Buffyverse, Spike was a bad man, but did many things that were good, whether he realized them or not.  In the end .. his choice to be happy was to be with Buffy.  Maybe, in your mind, he should have clarified his wish more to St. Peter.  

And no, I meant sorted.  But thanks again.

Wonderful concept! Loved it!
 Thanks so much.  I wasn't sure how this would be viewed by the readers, but the plot hit me hard and heavy and needed to get written.
