This was a great fic. I really enjoyed it.

Sweet fluffy story.  Thanks for the lighthearted fic.

I remember starting this a little while back when you first posted it and I just found it again and read the whole thing! I love it! I especially love how they heard their voices in the future... it was funny and oh so tangible... a lot of stories would make it ultra-sappy but yours was just right! Great job!

Aww, this was a nice little piece. I'm sorry that I missed it earlier but I'm very happy to have read it now. Nothing like a good intervention to be the Spuffy bandwagon moving. It was very original and I can't wait to read the sequel.

Would love to see a sequel to this story.
To see how things changed, by the early spuffy :D

Nice end to this fic. I would enjoy seeing a sequel.

great fic - I really enjoyed the story and thought it was quite wnderful (*happy sigh^

Hiya

Please continue on with this story I loved it. I'd love to see how you'd take them through the seasons as a couple.

Great chapter. I loved this story. It was not too mushy and they became a couple without devolving into sex. Very sweet.

Great fic. A sequel will be nice. I'll be gone for a while but when i return i will check out Parting Gifts. Thanx for the great read.

Very nice - you could have left miseryguts Xander out completely!

Lovely Spuffy ending. I would definitely read a sequel if you and your muse write it.

love the last chapter, especially the "for now." enjoyed joyce and anya hope the have strong parts in any sequel. (and as a favor you could kill xander) enjoyed the tale. thanks for the fine read.

aww great ending.. would *love* a sequel!

I loved this story from beginning to end and in particular Joyce and her strength in the face of opposition. I love how Joyce made Buffy go out and talk to Spike after she lied to Giles and the others, and that Buffy finally admitted the truth about her and Spike’s feelings for each other. I must admit that with last chapter and you said that there was only one more I was disappointed, I was enjoying this story so much that I didn’t want it to end, so please continue it this is one story I would really love to see more of. :)

An amazing story. i loved it from start to finish. :) I would love to see a continuation of this story because i love the idea

first of all, can I just say that I love Anya. And Buffy should have gotten more than words from Joyce by lieing about what they were told and seen. But I am glad that Spike is willing to give it a try. Love the chapter.

Oh lovely - does happy dance - this is really great - can't wait for the lovely conclusion!

great chapter. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

* screams and curses willow for interfearing* oh and i did like it

ooo ooo ooo ... more. Loved this update. I wonder what they are even going to do about the information. I look forward to seeing what you have for us next.

Oh and GO ANYA! Whoo hoo! I like it when people realize that she isn't an idiot. Loved her having the go with the knowledge.

want more!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrr

loved the update. leave it to the three most selfish scoobies to believe they should interrupt a "divine intervention." looking forward to the next chapter and sad that it is the last. thanks for the fine read.

Sweet. And such a neat idea.

I absolutely loved Anya in this chapter, and her reminding Xander why she knew what she was talking about was fabulous. I also loved Willow’s belief and new respect for her in the face of Xander’s treatment and Giles’ questioning. I also really liked the way the divine intervention worked. Thanks for the great update, I am really looking forward to the next chapter.

awwwwwwwwww that was an amazing chapter yay

Good chapter.Loved the vision. Update soon.

what only one more!?! but.. but its too good to be only 6 chapters!!!

Shorter? Then you'll do a sequel, right?

Very nice chapter! I loved the interaction of the 3 different episodes to make the vision. I can't wait to see how you wrap this all up!

Very interresting story so far. Can´t wait to see how they´ll react when they "wake up" again.
Please update soon.

Well this was fun, who really is the needy one? I hope you answear that question in the final chapter :)

A great concept of divine intervention. I loved the last bit of reaction of Buffy and Spike when they heard their other selves. I'll be very sad to see this fic end-- I'm really starting to get into it. I really loved chapter 4! Looking forward to the next post.

Will those snippets help Buffy and Spike fight evil together instead of each other? Why do the Scoobies feel they should interrupt a divine intervention? More story please.

oh i wonder what happened... great story so far really enjoying it

What's with the freezing?

EVIL CLIFFIE ... you are evil!!! Please more more ... soon please. {grins} That was a way evil cliffhanger. Loved the chapter.

I was delighted with Buffy's sulking like an angry child and Joyce's treating her like one. Sweeet.

Great chapter. Please update soon.

yikes what ever happened. ike i am waiting lol great chapter

oh i love this, sweet story...can´t wait for more..

very good chapter. after reading the ending of this update i am now certain the 'angelic' is sardonic. thanks for the fine read.

Thank you for the great update. I love how Joyce isn't allowing Buffy to kick Spike out of the house, and how she is treating Spike with kindness and respect. And what an intervention by the PTB's. With that ending...please update soon. :D

Hee hee hee....good ol' Powers intervention.

Ooh yummy!

Good chapter.At least Joyce will get diagnosed earlier,and thus saved.Update soon.

ACK!! Evil cliffie! Why did they freeze again? Is Whistler back with more cryptic and incomplete information for Joyce? I hope he tells somebody to get her to a doctor. More story please.

Evil cliffie.....did they just get a vision of the future? Or did they get a glimpse of what is to come for Joyce? The tumor? OH PLEASE update agian soon!!

How cruel but exciting, great story enjoying the characterization

Now that was evil ending it like that. I really love Joyce's role in this fic and can't wait to see what happens next.

 

Looks like *itch Buffy is back in force! Can't wait to see how Joyce interceeds and helps true love find its course!

Gosh Buffy's impossible!And did she forget the Angeleus incident and as for his change , how would he have *changed* if nobody had given him a chance.

This is an absolutely adorable story. I love the bond between Joyce and Spike. And granted, Joyce would have to be blind to not appreciate Spike's charms, but ewww... I like that Joyce was going to include all of her protectors in the hot chocolate celebration, and how Buffy has not quite gotten it right yet. Looking forward to reading the next two chapters that are already posted.

LOL ... Buffy's comment about irritating fake vampires. Too funny!! I love Joyce. I can't wait to see how each chapter unfurls with this one. It can be a really funny one.

Good chapter.I'm glad Spike wanted to save Joyce like that.
Update soon.

Good update. I can't wait to read how Joyce gets Buffy and Spike together.

it was worth the wait. Buffy just doesnt get it does she. oh well i am sure it will happen eventually

very good update to a very interesting tale. love joyce. thanks for the read.

Wonderful Joyce.

I really liked that chapter! It made me giggle a few times, which I really needed today, thank you!

I loved it! Nice mix of humor and action. I can't wait for more.

It was definately worth the wait. Can't see what else little suggestion they left for Joyce to help Spike and Buffy along.

The story is good but not realizing the potential of its premise. Joyce isn't just another adult who likes Spike. Joyce is Buffy's mom, the woman who diapered Buffy as a baby and grounded her as a child.

Joyce is the only person who can say "Buffy, go to your room!" and have it happen. Not only that but it's Joyce's job as a parent, even if she's not that good a parent, to teach Buffy what she knows. And rectifying Buffy's childish black and white morality is par for the course.

I really, really wanted to see Joyce ground Buffy. The little prima dona usually gets away with murder.

I LOVE JOYCE!!!!!!!

Buffy is one of the most stubborn individuals ever. Once she gets an idea, even when shown that she might be wrong, she still fights for it. I love how Joyce stands up for Spike and when Buffy calls him a liar for saying he would never hurt her mother she simply says that she believes him. And Spike was right Buffy would never believe him, he did have to show her. Thanks for the update, it was worth it. :)

 

oh how wonderful - i love your use of Joyce this is really great!

Doctors appointment huh? i like the whistler's mind works.

You covered all the angles of time travel. Neat...a hypnotic suggestion at just the right time. Really loved this chappie.

great start..update update!

I hope that Joyce can get through to the both of them. And they really did pick the right person to help push them. Can't wait to see what you have in store next for them.

Another good chapter. Of course it would have to be Joyce she is the most open minded person of the bunch. Please write more.

Joyce will be perfect to mediate!

Nice chapter! I like how you through in the drs app at the end there! Hopefully Joyce will make one!

Good chapter.At least Joyce will be fine.Update soon.

This chapter was really great. I loved Whistler's thought of how alike Buffy and her mom are. And I loved the set-up of Joyce having a Dr. appointment. Her death was one of the most upsetting things that happened on the show. I hope you are able to update soon. :D

Still with you ... wonderful second chapter, and I look forward to more. Love this one so far.

Excellant start to a story - can't wait to see what Joyce is going to do or say. :-)

Ok did Buffy see her mom just pop up? who's the guy? nice 1st chap.

Hey!! Cliffie! What is Joyce doing there? Is that Whistler with her? Post more please.

I'm liking the premise so far.

Good story so far.I love it. Update soon.

very good start. and bring joyce in at the end,lovely hook. thanks for the fun read.

I like the promise of a unique perspective; Joyce's.

Good start to the story. Please update soon.

Fantastic start!! *whines* Fast? This isn't fast. Oh well, I suppose I'll have to allow for time differences and all. *sniffs*

Nice start. I am glad that this is complete. I'll look forward to the posts whenever you post em to see where this one goes.

This is a really great start. I love the idea of Joyce playing matchmaker, she was one of the few who really saw Spike.

such a great start to this story. I can't wiat to see what you have next.

Nice begining! I cab't wait to see where this story goes! I love denial Buffy, so true to form! I always thought that Spike was very in touch with his feelings and what he wanted. You wrote him very well! I can't wait for the next chapter.

Always thought Joyce was smarter than the writer wrote her. She gave them enough time for them to be alone and really learn to like each other. If Willow and Xander hadn't been trying to run her life it could have worked. I really enjoyed this first chapter and the rest will probably just as great. Thanks for sharing.
