  I really djg this.
I am not gonna say I liked this better than the comics, because I like a kick in the head as much as I like those.
I'll just say that this would be a worthy ending for a fantastic series.
This was the first story I ever wrote so has a special place in my heart. Glad you enjoyed it.   Have you got to We Will Remember Them yet?  That's another favourite of mine.

What an imaginative different happy outcome!
 Thank you so much for all your comments for this story. It holds a special place in my heart as it is the first thing I wrote for Spuffy!   The temptation to edit is sometimes overwhelming but so far I have resisted!   So pleased you enjoyed it.

OK, I'm done now.   I rather wish I wasn't - I'd love to know if they succeeded.  
However, it was a beautiful story.  Choices - that's all we have, in the end.  That's all we really can ever own.  Glad to see theirs brought them together. 
 So glad you enjoyed Splinters. It was the first thing i wrote, so has a special place in my heart!  I sometimes feel I should go back in and edit it, but always decide, no, that's how I was writing then, so that is how it should remain.

Yes, they both had choices. Somehow it always brings them back together.

Epilogue         
Lovely story; can't believe it was your first; I really really enjoyed it!
 Delighted you enjoyed the story. Yes, it was the first I wrote. Bloodqueen666 insisted I post something because I was shy, so she is to blame for everything that followed!
I've always had a soft spot for Splinters and although I've been tempted to go back and edit it, I've always resisted because it is as it is.

Good story & good ending.I always thought Spike & Angel loved each other deep down.(Joss is a Spike/Angel shipper.I got that from the commentary for "A Hole In The World".I sorta ship them too.)But I think they loved each other in a relative-ly way.
Good to know you enjoyed it. The first chp of this was the very first thing I ever wrote for Spuffy fic. Always been “my baby”

wow...very interesting ending...sad about all the others being gone...but kind of intriguing to think of them alone together in this new world...a sequel would be nice! ;)
Don’t mention the dreaded s word! I felt we had reached the natural conclusion to this story. Any more would have been “wrong!”

Excellent update. Yeah, I'm like 2 weeks behind in my reading, but I still follow. Glad to see an update of this one when I got back to being able to read. I loved it. You can't leave us hanging there. Please write more.
Thank you for review. Hope to update soon.

Spooky! Will the PTB let Spike and Buffy be together now?

Chp 8 Heaven can Wait         
Huh? Did I miss a chapter here? I get that Spike is leaning towards death, big showdown and all. But, Buffy? Why would she be having to choose? Was she dying somewhere?
Sorry if I didn’t make it clear enough. The whole world has died. Buffy, too. As I said in the copy, the evil wouldn’t just have kept itself to America but spread all over . I’ll check in story and make it clearer. Thank you for pointing it out. Hope you still enjoyed it.

Yes, what a wonderful choice displaying true love and selflessness.

02/01/2008 09:05 pm

No!!!  Don't go to ANGEL!!!  LOL!  Definitely an engaging story, if you can't tell by my reactions!

Oh, No! Evil writer.

Oh my goodness! Did not see that choice coming and it was wonderful. Of course, Spike made the right decision - pooh on Darla for doubting him. What does she know? LOL Can't wait to see where this goes now.

01/13/2006 07:29 am

LMAO, take that Darla you cheap whore :P GGreatchappie, hope Spike eventualy gets back to Buffy.

I'm assuming you won't actually be sending SPike to hell??  But I'm worried anyways; great story; really enjoying it!

LOL - Anya can't imagine herself in hell and Tara doesn't like Kennedy. Well, who does?

Ok, not to spill any beans but I vividly remember this chapter and the next one. Both of which are excellent. Please tell me you have more coming soon. I've always loved the interaction of Joyce and Spike. More of them would be nice. (wink/nudge)

Love your Joyce - even if you gave her to us for such a short time - lovely ending for her. 

05/01/2009 09:14 pm
Chp 5 At My Side         
You wrote the essence of a loved one's passing.  We all would rather have them be there than all the sanctimonious praises and eulogies. 

03/05/2006 01:57 am
Chp 5 At My Side         
Very nice the way you've captured Buffy's thoughts and feelings now that the reality of her mother's death are sinking in.

03/04/2006 02:04 pm

that's perfect...that's exactly how spike would have handled it if buffy or anyone at that time had given him the chance to be there for her...very touching scene...loved it :)

sorry, started to leave a comment but was interrupted by a papillon, who decided it was play time. back to comments. love the story. wouldn't be upset hearing more of joyce's comments even if there are only in buffy's mind. thanks for the update

Love the way Buffy is inadvertently giving away her erotic thoughts.

02/01/2008 05:15 pm

she would have been proud to have called son.

Ok, so I'm a little sniffly here; love that line; always loved how Joyce and Spike interacted, and wish we could have seen more of it.

03/05/2006 01:53 am
Chp 4 Never Walk Away         
Was there ever a mom living that wanted a son-in-law who drinks, smokes and wears a black leather coat 24/7? Not to mention the whole serial killer thing? Joyce must be having a psychic premontion that Spike is going to shape up.

03/04/2006 02:06 pm

very sweet...i love joyce's perceptions of spike...i always loved joyce...and buffy as usual had to mess things up *rolling eyes*

I hate stories that make me all emotional and weepy...and stuff. You just jogged my memory - I had forgotten what a great mom Joyce is to Buffy and...sob..Spike!

Nice reflection on Joyce's part. Loved Buffy's dream. Dufus Slayer. That was hilarious with her waking up on Spike's lap with a wet spot in his lap from where she was liking. That was priceless.

I have just read the first 4 chapters and I´m very pleased of how good this story is so far. A little different from other stories about this. But so far I like this version of the story very much. I hope you update soon. This story has a lot of potential.
so glad you are enjoying it. I love writing this one.

OK, since you were so kind to explain tea to me when you commented on my review of Business as Usual, I had to come read this.  Excuse me while I run off to finish it now.

Chp 2 Tea for Two         
because there was the shoulder she knew would always be there, and she was safe and loved and fast asleep, curled up against a vampire in her kitchen.....

I think that may be one of my favorite lines ever in fanfic; bravo!
 Wow!  What a lovely thing to say.  Thank you so much. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

"He might be chipped, but she still reckoned he’d try and kill her the second her eyes shut."

What did she think he was schlepping that shot gun around for if not to kill her. You have to wonder about Buffy sometimes.

03/04/2006 02:11 pm

awww...how sweet...she really has to trust him to be able to fall asleep in front of him...that's a psychological fact!! ;) lol... i love this fic!!

Ooo ... did Buffy fall asleep on Spike's shoulder? That would be great. I can just see him bundling her up and carrying her up the stairs to put her to bed. Good chapter. Loved the making tea scene.

She is always the bitch. {Shakes her head} Good start to this one. Liked this first chapter. Analogies were good too about the splinter, lion's paw, etc. I see a second chapter is up. So, I'm going to head to that one too.
thanks for reading this one. My first ever fic, so special to me.

This is giggles. Buffy and her imaginary heroine getting the thorn out of the lion's paw and Spike acting all whiny.
So glad you are enjoying story. Will post more soon.
