Epilogue         
Wonderful alternative reality you created - enjoyed reading this from beginning to end.  A sequel would be great but it's as you state - you have to have a story you want to tell.  Look forward to reading your other works. 
THank you. :)

This was an AMAZING tale!!  The last bit was a gem.   Hopefully, you will have a sequel.

Loved it!!!

So he knocked her up again?! LOL

I wouldn't sell either of those statues. They seem kinda important.

Chapter 29         
She has balls I'll give Willow that. To walk in there like nothing was wrong. She was so sure her spell worked she never considered they were on to her. And that was pure stupidity on her part. They caught her out in the beginning with all the spells she did. What would make her think they wouldn't be on the look out for more? I do disagree slightly though. The hellmouth might have had a bad influence on her magic abilities but I think a lot of it has to do with Willow's personality. Vamp!Willow was brought to this dimension because of her ego and it has just gotten worse. She always hated being shy, geeky Willow and now she has power. Enough power to change that and she likes it. She likes being the one with the power, likes making others dance to her tune like she had to in high school. You get the feeling that her parents only noticed her when she did something well, when she excelled at something. So she treated magic the same way. Only she forgot to learn the rules and just went for the power. I don't think the coven will take too kindly to her attempts at control. Hopefully they can change her. Because if all they do is teach her how to control her abilities that will just make her more dangerous. One mentally unstable witch with even more power? She'll be able to do everything she wants with no one to stop her. 

Tara was right. If the only reason Willow follows the training from the coven is the hope or promise that she'll get Tara back... It would be for all the wrong reasons and when that doesn't happen? She will go nuclear.

Chapter 28         
Yeah, I think they all better be concerned about Willow. I don't think she will take this forced ousting from the group very well. Here's hoping Joyce's surgery can actually wait until the next day!

Chapter 27         

FYI re brain surgery.  It's been 9 years since my brain tumor/craniotomy and I STILL am scheduled for follow-up MRI's.  It takes 2-3 years for the brain tissue to fill in the missing gap and then they check for re-occurences the following years.  The next scan will be the last, thankfully.

Chapter 27         
At least Spike convinced Joyce to keep that appointment!! Doctors may not know everything but a post brain surgery CAT scan seems like something you don't shrug off! Unless you have a death wish. I don't care how good you are feeling. When someone has cracked open your skull and poked around in it you really need to have a check up!

Chapter 26         
WOW!!  That was so romantic!

09/12/2015 03:15 pm
Chapter 25         
Is he seriously waffling on restraining Willow?? After all the spells she did? Did Willow put a forgetting spell on him or something? Nice haul. I wonder if the wooden statue is a slayer? Maybe the gold one too? Spike... you silly man. It's her wedding night. She wants it to be romantic and perfect. Not a quick shag in the shower!

Chapter 24         
Here's hoping no one finds out what that sword can do. I'm with Spike. Willow has little control over her emotions. Or rather she feels that her emotions are more important than everyone else. And if they aren't giving her the attention she thinks she deserves she'll do a spell. It's all about her pain, her feelings, her thoughts. She proved it already with all the spells she did. One of which almost starved Buffy to death.

Chapter 23         
Love how creative you have been with the events of the series and how you transformed the characters - particularly Xander and Tara as helpers.  Buffy and Spike working together and finding the treasure and the gem was expected but Xander and Tara were a good surprise.

Chapter 23         
I love Anya. There is no artifice with her. Willow is powering up some more spells. Why am I not surprised? What does it take for her to stop? She was starving Buffy to death. Made Buffy forget who the father of her baby was. Why can't that woman see she is dangerous?

Chapter 22         
Nicely composed scene, with some urgency applied by the need to get the gem without any ceremony. Writing flows smoothly, and characterization is spot-on.

Chapter 22         
In this instance Xander better hope Buffy is right about Spike. Otherwise Buffy would have to drive him to the hospital!! He could wind up with worse injuries than his shoulder.

Chapter 21         
Well they got Xander on their side and that's usually not an easy thing to do!!

great chapter - love the Xander takes charge treatment -

Chapter 20         
Those two are getting along!! I guess without the death threats and snarky comments in their history they have a chance to become friends. That'll be a hoot! Seriously though filling it with concrete? Was never gonna happen. Why in the world would the military spend that kind of money on an installation that most of the people who knew about it are dead. And to the ones that are still alive would never say anything about anyway? And I think someone in the clueless Sunnydale population would have noticed hundreds of cement trucks rumbling through town.

Chapter 19         
You show a knowledge of the basics of the kind of work Xander's involved in that's impressive. (Disclaimer: I was raised by parents who until their adult years lived all their life in big city apartments, and knew nothing of hardware. My father taught me that a screwdriver had a flat end. It was my wife, raised by an engineer, who exposed me to the revelation that there are many, many different kinds of screwdrivers.) Too often I read fanfiction that have hospital personnel who don't speak or act like hospital personnel, and even one fic, in in another fanfic universe, that referred to "Vivaldi's Concerto" when he wrote over 700 of them. So seeing researched competence on matters relating to a skill not known to all...? Works for me.

It's also fun watching Xander's interaction as the one with the power against Spike and Buffy. Too often he's the lovable goof, but he has his expertise. You've given him a chance to show this, and in way that subtly contrasts his competence against the brute force method of Willow's magic use. That's unusual, and interesting. Good writing, too, with no sense of strain, and regular forward movement. Very enjoyable.

Oh dear, Oh dear.  Willow, you're being evil again.  Don't be evil... or you might become google... y'know rich and powerful and into everyone's business...  well, into everyone's business, anyway!  sigh.

Chipped Harmony?! LOL!  The spell appears to be doing the most damage to Buffy.   Either Willow did it or she knows who did.  Why?

“Not sure you needed the ‘obscene’ there, slayer. If a sexual innuendo is done right, it can’t help but be obscene. And I do them right.”

Man has a point.  :D :D :D

What a neat story - great premise with Spike being the character that starts out with finding a way for all three to begin the process of getting their memories back and finding out how the origins of the spell.
