It's as the wise man says "there's always consequences."

Thanks for sharing this.  Really did not see the end coming.

Peace,

That was really good. Superb writing excellent plot. bravo

Great storyline tied together very nicely.

very good read, thank you.

I loved this story, great work :)

I kinda feared something would go wrong when they came back, but it was okay.
Great story.

wow....not quite the ending i expected, a bit more positive than i thought it'd be...glad it all turned out well, despite the stupid mistakes they all made....great fic, pet :)

loved this story ! It was so excellant! wonderful conclusion - I liked how you mentioned all the changes in the three years!

Got the tear ducks going, but you have a nice happy ending. Nice story.

Wow. Spike getting dusted...so not good. Thank god Buffy finally got smart and got him back!

I was a little upset when I read the summary and found that you had written something with Spike dusting in the first paragraph. I will admit that I was wrong, wrong, wrong! You are a great storyteller. I loved every minute of it. I kind of wish it hadn't ended. Please think sequel. Thanks for giving me a great Saturday afternoon read Isabella

WOW! Totally strange view of Buffy's resurrection and love of Spike.

wow! that was really different. but good. but different :) I liked!

Part of that were just gut wrenching! But I loved every moment!

Freaking amazing. Spike's death was so painful and the chapters that followed- but omg was it ever worth it! And what a journey all the characters went through- I've never seen such fantastic character development!

Hated the whole Spike dusty death thing -- but yay with the Buffy falling in love with Spike through his words. And yay with the getting him not dusty. Loved it.

AWWW -- this was very, very nice.

Love this story! had to wipe away a few tears...

Wow!  It feels as if you are a practioner of the arts in this chapter. 

very good read.they must have missed the warning about consequences.

wow...everything has consequences, adn she got what she longed for, but i think they're both about to pay the price...great chapter :)

excallane chappie! I love how She got back Spike. happy sigh... she needs to be with him and now they can. Happy sigh again. On to the net chappie I go!

wow...that was an ugly scene...very well written and engrossing, but so dark and chilling...willow seemed to be on the way to recovery...and buffy just shoved her back down...wow...great chapter, though,pet :)

excallane - Willow just finally started to feel bad abotut spellcasting but a little pursuasion and she is right on the spell wagon

For a moment there, I was expecting a vengeance demon.   If Mr Rosenberg was anything like his wife, you nailed them. 

oh no....buffy no....that's such a huge mistake...and you just about brought me to tears with dawnie-missage....great chapter, pet ;)

oh no! Willow and tha mgic are never of the good! Poor buffy nmust be deseperate to fix it! this story keeps gettig better and better. I feel for buffy, but magic is never the answer! (course it could be...)

Ooh, even in the midst of all this angst,  I hate Hank!

man this is so incredibly sad...i hate that....i wish she could stay at home, things were just starting to get better....

poor Dawn - shipped to a man she never met in her real life; him pretending to care. I feel so deeply for Buffy - I hope she gets a happy ending. *hugs* great story!

It all has come to a head.  Buffy and Dawn really need to be together.

okay, she and dawnie need to just run for the hills...take off and leave everybody behind....it's what i would do i think, given the circumstances...great chpater, pet :)

oh no! they can't take dawnie away *whimpes* - I love what you did with anya's protection spells - wonderful! Can't wait to see what happens next!

You wrote what needed to be said about Willow's dangerous direction.  Also you channel a very accurate Anya.

lol...i love anya...that totally cracked me up, and was a much needed relief of the pressure that built up during the first part of the chapter, i have to say you are an amazing writer, pet, definitely one of my favorites...everything of yours i've read, i've loved...great job :)

excallnt update - xander is being so blind when it comes to willow - not to smart about that is he? I can't wait to see what happens next in this story!

An eavesdropper does not sound good. Who and what will be done?

oh no...i hope it's not willow...she's not gonna take that well...and i hope she doesn't do something awful..but i know she probably will :(

I loved this chapter! I can't believe that Willow is outside the room listening (at least I assume it is her. Poor Buffy! I love how Dawn has finally reached her, I hope Willow doesn't destroy her. *shudders* Willow is having some serious problems here. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Another excellent chapter!  Nice way to explain the 11 quid too.

wow...willow is getting scary...i dont much care for her or xander in this fic so far...hope tara and anya can be the support that dawn and buffy need through this :)

I so love the emotion in this chapter. The story was really incrediable - I loved Willow's actions, I watned to smack her - good portrayal of her when she is the depths of magic addiction.

Xander and willow are portrayed excellantly. Great update and fab story... runs to next chapter@

wow...that is so sad...i have to say, dawn is wearing on my last nerve as well...but maybe she'll get better..the story itself is awesome, pet ;)

I love this section - it is really fablicious -

He had saved her. Every night since she’d come back, Spike’s presence-- no matter how annoying-- had saved her from crumbling into insanity. He had managed what none of her friends and family had done; he’d kept her sane and able to function.

excellant story so far I am really enjoying it!

A wonderful start beautifully written!

awww....so very sad...maybe now shell appreciate him, now that hes gone....but he wont stay gone, will he?

Excellant first chapter! I loved this - the feeling, the emotion - it was incrediably moving!

I LOVE this story! Just wanted to tell you that. -Lisa

At least Willow got to do something right. I hate that Spike had to die at all but it all worked out.
