Part 2.1: Fade To Black
Is this story finished? I would love to read the rest. Finally Spike gets some respect from someone, and Buffy and Angel realize that the universe does not revolve around them!
Sadly, it is not. :(
But I am still working on it. I know it's been forever, but I want it finished before I post any more.
Anyway, thank you for the review. I'm glad you liked what I've got posted. :)

"As for the Spike/Buffy loving, that will come sometime between this chapter and the end of the story. "
Well, that tells me a bucketful of nothing :D

another fine chapter added to the tale. thank you.
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. :)
Okay, I stayed up all night last night and re-read this whole thing, and is is just as well thought out and carefully plotted as the rest of it is. I liked the talk between Spike and Willow, I also like Angel as a vampire better in this, though he has been better in more recent chapters. On to the one bit of crit I have.... I Need Spuffy Loving! Hurry up and write some happiness for our duo, poor Spike is needing to let off some stress :D
Thank you!!! ::hugs Lis:: It's reviews like yours that help me silence those irritating doubts I have about my writing.
As for the Spike/Buffy loving, that will come sometime between this chapter and the end of the story. :P

love what you have done with dawn, and buffy's reaction. looking forward to spike's reaction to a strong, maturing niblet. very good read, thank you.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing that. Now I just need to write Spike's reaction. :D

Part 1.18
Another awesome chapter! Your descriptions are so vivid and the emotions pour off the page.
Buffy's reaction to Dawn's relationship is in true Buffy form. :) She forgets that her sister is growing up. Can't wait to see Spike's reaction, though I have a feeling that it will be a little more understanding than Buffy hopes, though I could be wrong.
Speaking of Spike, has he turned Angel? Oh, dear, what will happen if Angelus returns in all his glory...? The Senior Partners would have a field day with that!
Looking forward to more!

I put a lot of work into the battle scenes and I'm happy to know it worked. (This is only the third one I've ever written.)
Again, thank you for the lovely review.

Again, thank you for the lovely review.
My money is on a return of Angelus. Hope it's a version that will fight on Spike's side....but if Spike is his Sire he might. *shameless guessing*
Wonderfully vivid battle scenes, I am in awe! So difficult to write with enough detail while not going over some line...you did it marvelously!
Tee hee on the reaction to grown up Dawnie! So like her sister in her passion it's funny. I think Spike will be so glad his daughter is alive that he won't mind the kissage as much....then again.....
Wonderful wonderful update.

And I'm looking forward to Spike's reaction to a grown up Dawn as well...since I haven't written that part yet. ;)
But it will get written soon!
Again, thank you for the kind words.
WOW the war is on two fronts with neither nowing about the other...intense.
Well written pre battle scene. You can feel the building tension. Spike clearly feeling responsible for the outcome and it is wearing away at him. Good Angel is there with him and that he is actually accepting a role of lieutenant and friend. They worked well together in the past and that might help now as will Willow's magic ability.
The old hatreds and angers are unsettling but very realistic. Many is the time when old wounds must be ignored for the greater good. Nice touch.
Really enjoying this story.

Yep! They sure do. Wolfram and Hart’s motto, divide and conquer when you can, be sneaky and underhanded when you can’t. But it’s better to be both. :D

Part 1.16
I've just started reading this fic and I love it!! Battles, handsome kings, magic, dragons, Spike... what more could a girl ask for. :)
I hope Spike thinks of Willow when he hears about the cloaked army. Faith's right, Buffy needs to get over herself and let someone else be general for a while. I can see how it would be hard, though, having to suddenly play second fiddle, but she needs to accept that and help in any way she can. A bit ironic that she's feeling useless when they really need her in L.A.!
Looking forward to more!

Yeah, Buffy has some things to figure out. I honestly don't think she's ever been second fiddle in her life. (Popular cheerleader becomes Chosen One.)
I should have more soon. I've already finished the next chapter. I'm just waiting to see what changes my beta thinks I should make. :)
YAY an update on this story!!! I am so excited even before I read it.
Nice "gathering of forces" segment here. Faith gave Buffy a needed reality check (maybe just in time to prevent her attitude from getting sour before Spike gats back).
Have a suspicion obout the unnamed girl tattling on the Key and Father being in town.
Excellent update all round. Love Spike's humility (really that is what it is) in pooh-poohing the whole reverence for "the father".

And yeah, our Spike is a humble one, when he isn't evil that is. :P
the mindset of a great number of aerworuld's inhabitants seems very similar to that of earth residents. very good read, thank you.
Yeah, humans can be a bit illogical at times. :P

Kathleen
Yep, and I'm positive it's going to be a lot of fun writing the scene for when they find out. :)

Thank you for the review.
thought the conversation with aneirin would have mellowed buffy . seems she can be as egocentric as her friends. very good chapter, thank you. loved the ending scene.
Buffy and the Scoobies are a bit full of themselves aren't they? ;)

Part 1.14
I always thought it strange that the only sign of Buffy training Dawn was in the first episode of season seven. Given the inherent danger she was in because she lived with the Salyer, she needed a lot more training that that. It became on of the dropped plot points of season seven, like Dawn's friends.
That Oracle certainly knows what he's talking about. Looks like Buffy needs to take her ego down a notch or two.
And I doubt that these people are impressed by her being the Salyer , even if there was only one at a time. Salyers are always replaced , so ther's a line running back to the first Slayer but there is only one Key and one Father of the Key period. They are uniquie and irreplacable.

So did I. I mean seriously, how much trouble does Dawn have to get into before some one teaches her how to fight? They did drop many potentially good story lines then.
You are right that these people are not impressed with Buffy being the Slayer. Not only are slayers replaced but also their prophecy didn't call for a slayer.
Yes! Spike sees she DOES care (the no shoes, thin nightgown revelation was PERFECT. Spike is so observant and knows her so well that her actions showed so much more than a months worth of words!).
Love how "unimportant" Buffy and her crew are and that their presumption is treated the arrogance it is. Love Spike's explanation of he and Dawn being the Chosen ones in that world, not her!
Kennedy actually being helpful? GOD the world IS ending!
Glad Giles has the template, wonder how he'll use it to help?
I adore this story and am delighted to see the excellent update.
Kathleen
PS: small typo here<i>"people tell you how sorry they are for your lose.”</i> Clearly you meant loss and spellcheck didn't catch it!

Poor Spike's been jerked around so many times that he needed both the words and the actions to go hand in hand.
Is it bad that I'm getting a kick out of making Buffy being the slayer unimportant? :P
I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the review.
By the way-typo has been fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Looks like Buffy might actually have to earn forgiveness this time. She's had it too easy in that area with Spike until now.And he has every reason to be angry at her for not telling him about the Immortal. Letting him think that he meant nothing to her and that she'd moved on so quickly (and to a scumbag) was thought;ess and cruel.
Great chapter.
Great chapter.
Yes, Buffy does have some groveling to do. If only she had listened to Dawn. :P
I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the review. :)
I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for the review. :)
it seems that communicating is always going to be their problem. very good read, thank you. surprising touch having xander playing peacemaker. played well.
Spike and Buffy were always very good at putting their foots in it, weren't they? :P
I'm glad you liked how I had Xander talk to Spike. I wrote that scene and Xander was the one who showed up.
And as always, thank you for the review. :)

I do so love this story and am excited with the update. I'm kind of glad Spike put Buffy off and made her see the hurt she caused. He's right, she should have done SOMETHING to let him know that she was happy he was back at least!
<i>"It only made the Scoobies reluctance to accept him all the more painful. Here in Ærworuld, he had done nothing but show up and pledge to fight in their war and the people, for the most part, accepted him. Spike had fought by the Scoobies’ side for three years, at first reluctantly and then willingly, and they still did not trust him. It hurt more than Spike thought it would and he wondered briefly if his death had fazed them at all."</i>
So well put! No matter what Spike did over the years (and especially that summer when Buffy was dead and there was no way he was seeking her favor in return for his actions), they never treated him as anything but an annoyance and suspect. That always made me angry and it likely did rankle.
Excellent.

I'm so glad you liked it. When I started writing it, I just couldn't have Spike fall at Buffy's feet. I'm of the belief (most days) that Spike didn't believe Buffy in the Hellmouth. And that he didn't go find her at first because he was scared.
So after getting treated like a person instead of a thing, Spike reacted to Buffy's usual way to treating him with anger. Granted he doesn't know that the Scoobies have changed their tune where he is concerned, for the most part anyway. He'll find out eventually. :)
Love the changes you made to Spike & buffy's reunion scene; great chapter; can't wait to see more!!!
You were right about that section being rough, so I added in some more dialogue. I'm glad you liked the changes. :)
And you should have the next chapter in a few days.

So delighted to read an update of this. Can't wait till the "rescuerers" find out who the father is LOL. This society is in need of help with the troubled doings between dragons and humans...rather a parallel with the demon/human situation in our dimension. Who better than Spike to iron that out?
Excellent.
Kathleen
Excellent.

Spike is perfect for the job, as long as he doesn't lose his tempter and threaten to eat the humans. :P

You're Welcome! To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to Xander's reaction too. ;)
Oh boy indeed! This is cliffhanger is a lulu....finally an explanation (although I can think of a few and have already).
I really love this world you've created. I enjoy fantasy novels and this is a nice varieity of one with a mix of the medieval and mythological creature....lovely!!!!! Spike fits in perfectly. Can't wait for the rest of the crew to gather and find out the whole father/key thing too *snort*...think there'll be more than a few stunned expressions.
Excellent.

Great story. Want more.
Thank you. I should have more soon.
"Buffy came across as undisciplined and arrogant, and Liana knew those qualities could easily get a person killed."
On the nose!
Buffy should remember that the ONLY reason she "defeated" the First Evil was due to Spike. She and her army of Slayers could have only delayed the inevitable in that apolypse! Spike was the hero then and he is the one designated for this particular battle.
Like the gentle romance blooming for Dawn.
Love, love, love this fantasy world of dragons and so on! Lovely imagery.

Just found this story and enjoyed it immensely. Well crafted and an intriguing storyline. Love your dragons - great characterization! If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to have one of your betas double-check word usage. Spell check doesn't catch mistakes when one word is used in the place of another. (i.e. chard vs. charred, sever vs. severe - you get the idea) But overall this is an excellent story and I look forward to reading more of it.
I'm glad you like the story. Thanks for the notice about the word usage. I didn't have a beta when I started this story, and I've been trying to fix up the earlier chapters as best I can. Again, thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy the rest. :)

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. :) As for Einarr's stories, you'll have to wait and see. :P
Angel is so clueless, and self-important, he needed to be taken down a few notches. I like the friendship between Spike and Einarr. I have a feeling Einarr will be a very loyal friend, and that is just what Spike needs, especially when Angel meets up with him again. I love this fic, I can't wait for more :)
Thank you Lis. :)
I always felt Spike could have used some friends. I'm just glad I could give him some. And knocking Angel down a few notches was fun. :D
Hopefully I'll have some more up soon.

Oh, yes, I have read this story! I love the dragon! I love how you're splicing the different world sections together, because the Buffy world kinda makes for good comic relief against the dire conditions of the dragon world. I also like everyone calling Spike father, like Father in the "Beauty and the Beast" tv show. Eagerly awaiting when next you update, and I will review every chappie from now on.

wow, buffy and co can learn a lot from them. yes, willow, xander and the others are looking for him, wanting spike back, but they still need an eye opening brain scrub. i hope they all end up there to help spike and dawn i'm guessing in the battle.
Nice imagery. An "eye opening brain scrub" is exactly what they need. The Scoobies may have learned their lesson concerning Spike (in this story) but there are so many things that they don't know yet.
I'm glad that you like the story and thanks for the review. =)

Great epiphany on Buffy's part. The Scoobies do tend to act self righteous. While they do save the world , an a personal livel they're not very nice.
I'm glad that Spike is getting to know and be known by people who are displaying one hell of a lot more common sense than the Scoobies have displayed in the past.
I'm glad that Spike is getting to know and be known by people who are displaying one hell of a lot more common sense than the Scoobies have displayed in the past.
It was an epiphany that was long over due in my opinion. The Scoobies all acted self-righteous and were in complete denile of their own faults. That is one of my pet peeves concerning the show.
I figured that Spike needed adult friends, people who did not see the world in very narrow black and white views, or were connected to Angel in anyway.
I'm glad that your enjoying this story and I should have more up soon. =)

glad to see more of this. loved buffy finally seeing some hard truths and owning up to them with faith.
All I can say is that it was about time Buffy realised these truths and I had fun making her see them. =)

Spike definately needs friends of his own, not people he met through Buffy or Angel, but people who met him first. That way Spike can learn to get passed his baggage while Buffy learns to do the same. Then they can get back together. =)

Must be an amazing experience for Spike, to feel he's accepted.
I would think so. He never was completely accepted on either show, though Angel's friends did eventually accept him, it's never been immediate. He's always had Angel's shadow hanging over him. In my world, Spike doesn't have that problem to over come. =)
Thank you for the review and there will be more of this story soon.

Right hooks and Angel just go together!
Glad Faith called the idiot on his attitude even if I think it went right over his head (even with the poofed up hairdo in the way). Glad Buffy instantly remembered how she ahd said those words to Spike herself. FINALLY she is seeing these two loves as they are.
Excellent. The fantasy world sequences are nicely described and I can visualize the characters easily.

I understand. It's a whole different world that I've put the Buffy characters in. I'm glad you're still enjoying it.
since this other realm doesn't need buffy, when and if they find spike, will the others accept buffy's help?
You will just have to wait and see. =p
Actually I'm in the middle of writing that part of the story. =)

oh so stupid Angel, I hope you kick his ass, loving it so far :)
Don't worry, Angel gets knocked down a few pegs. ;)
ooo... liking this story very much! Angel's gonna get the shock of his life when he figures out Buffy wants to be with Spike and not him!! lol, I'm holding out for his reaction!! haha interesting plot, love seeing Spike as the modest hero :)

Just for the record, it's really neat to finally see Buffy/C'thulu mythos blend.I was wondering when someone would do that. How much are you planning on borrowing from Lovecraft? You've got the dreams and the nasty followers. I can't wait for more of this story. I'm definitely intrigued and want to see whats going to happen. And I really hope Angel get's a stern talking to and maybe a nice right hook, he's being a total ass!
Cool. =) I'm glad that you like it. I honestly don't know how much will be borrowed, if any. (well more than I have at this point.)
As for Angel, well I wasn't quite sure how anyone was going to handle him just yet, but "a nice right hook" is really tempting. ;)

It never hurts to have some common sense knocked into Angel. And besides, it's a fun process. ;)

I'm thrilled that you like it and I hope it keeps you coming back to read the longer it gets.
Ps: I have a soft spot for dragons too. Draco's look is based on a figurine my husband gave me. He sits next to the real Draco (yes I named a dragon statue Draco). He's a hand carved wooden dragon that my dad got in Indonesian . ;)

A little constructive criticism - might I suggest enlisting the help of a beta reader? For example, 'frigid' means really, really cold but 'fridge' is short for refrigerator. Those are the types of mistakes a good beta can spot.

Great start . You hit one of my kinks-Spike is Dawn's father (i figure that his blood was on the blade that was used to cut him and Dawn and that kept the portal from opening all the way and Buffy closed it the rest of the way ).
Loves Spike's thoughts about how he views his status in the world. it just breaks my heart.
I hope you can update soon!

It's one of my kinks(Spike as Dawn's Dad) as well. To me Spike never really looked at his self as a hero and probally only mentioned his part in saving the world to piss off Angel. And well who doesn't like to irrritate Angel? ;)
