I like how you resolved the series history for this Buffy and the alternate dimension Spike - it's a good solution.  Been a pleasure reading your work again.

Some people wanted each dimension’s Buffy and Spike to end up together, but for me it having the cross-dimensional pairs together made more sense, for the reasons I mentioned at the end of ‘Revenant’.  I’m so glad you liked the story!  I’m very fond of it.

Great Story :)
I'm always nervous when I write a sequel, but this one worked out pretty well. Thank you for liking it!

Oh I'm so glad she got to keep 'her' Spike! Because he really was her Spike, loved the way you put together a Buffy without all the damage and badness of season six and a Spike who knew how to avoid all the things that made her that way. Also loved the resolution of the other story but I didn't comment there so I'll do so here. Beautiful tales, both of them.
Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you liked them!  I'm very fond of how this pair of stories worked out.

He finally got to save her!!  And what a fantastic idea - that she needed this Spike, and he needed her, and viceversa for the other dimension.

Bravo!
After Spike's 'Every night I save you', I really wanted him to have that.  And I'm so glad you think these pairs belong together the way they ended up!  I think they match, but some people had problems

excellent tale. thank you. enjoyed that both buffys and spikes found what they needed.
I'm so glad you liked it!  Thank you!  Some people wanted the original pairings, but I thought this suited.

Love the portal and the non true death solution. Fantastic tale!
Thank you!  This pair of stories was an experiment in mirroring and I'm so glad you think it worked and liked it!

Great story; even the ending was perfect. The last chapter is the down-fall of some stories. Yay to how Spike saved the day - I kept thinking - but Spike, you have Buffy's blood, too. But I didn't think about how Spike having Glory's blood might save his life. Also getting drained of her blood keptyou from having to explain how Spike kept from killing Angel in the ensuing days,
Oh, that last chapter is always so hard!  Having to resolve everything.  I'm so glad you feel it worked!  And that's exactly why I had the rift drain that power. :D  Thank you for liking the story!

Very good story. You're one of my favorite authors. Can't wait for your next story.

Thank you!  Working on the next right now. :)

Why is it that the stories that I love end so soon and the rubbish ones seem to go on forever...?

Love that you gave Spike the solace that he needed and stopped this Buffy from going through all of the pain of her Mother's death and dying herself et al, and that you sent Angel off with a flea in his ear hopefully realising that he could have had Buffy and now never will.

All I can say is 'More please' - perhaps a quick Epilogue like at the end of season 4 in the series but without the cheeseman LOL...
I never know what to do in epilogues - everything seems to be covered in the story itself, unless it's the two pairs talking to each other, which would be difficult to arrange and would seem artificial.  So I'll leave it the way it is.
I'm so glad you liked it!  It wasn't intended to be a long story, just fluff.  I'm three chapters away from the end of a long story, but a new one has taken possession of me and I'm working on it right now and hope to have it done soon.  Only it's not very politically correct and people may hate it.  :D

Brava!  Another tour de force.  My only complaint... "It's over..." Oh say it ain't so.  <g>

Also, just a quick "thanks" for taking the time to answer my questions about your writing style.  It was a fascinating read.  Loved the way you explain chapter length.  Maybe _others_ will heed your words. 

There was also one point in which you mentioned, "That all writer's find people fascinating"  and as true as that might be, not all writer's have your innate ability to _really_ see and then put those thoughts to paper. (I'd bet my last dollar you're probably considered very "wise/insightful" amongst your friends.)

Well again, a big "Thank you" for sharing your wonderful talent. 

Ta!
Thank you for liking my stories!  That 'wise/insightful amongst your friends' made me laugh.  I'm the most horrible introvert and tend to keep my thoughts to myself.  I'm the only romantic one in a family of terribly pragmatic people and got cut up whenever I betrayed even a little of that.  The only place where I show myself is in my stories and it's lovely to have people like and value that.  That's the only place where I'm wise and insightful, except in my head. :D  It's probably a good thing that most people don't know what I'm really thinking!

awwwww.....they are sooo sweet...lovely.....

Nice final chapter. I liked that you incorporated the spidery world from Angel, which was always incredibly creepy to me. Nice character bits of everyone. I love a happy ending. *sigh*
I'm so glad you liked it!  Thank you!  I have Season 1 and Season 5 of AtS, but got bored with the whole Darla/Connor/Holst story lines and never followed Seasons 2-4.  Was the spider world in those seasons?  That writer must have found spiders as creepy as I do!  :D

 That was wonderful! I almost cried when Spike jumped , Scared me so much. i love the ending The right buffy for the right Spike. Great idea. Thank you.
Oh, I'm so glad you liked it!  Thank you!  This was to balance 'Pinch Hitter' - each pair finding the right partner.

That was really nice.  I can't wait to see what you write next.  I'm glad to see some writers still doing non all human stories.
Thank you!  I'm so glad you liked it!  You'll never find me doing an all human story and giving up that whole Vamp/Slayer dynamic.  Without that, it's just another Harlequin.

One word- amazing.
Knew Spike was going to jump through the portal. I always assumed he would have tried to do that in the show if it had been possible. As long as he had the blood, it should have worked. And hey, chances of him dying would have been less- him already being dead and all.
That's right- that's exactly what both the orignial Buffy and Spike needed- the slate wiped clean. I know they loved each other, but there was so much pain there. I mean, I highly doubt that they'd stop caring about the other Buffy/Spike entirely -too much history after all-, but they needed this new one. In my mind I kinda hope Buffy2 somehow gets the message that Spike (this Spike, not the other one- wow this can be confusing lol) is happy. I'd think she'd want to know, just like this Spike would be happy she is.
Anyway, this was a great story. Can't wait until whatever you bring out next!
I too think that he would have jumped on the show, if it would have saved her.
Maybe the PTB will let Buffy2 know somehow.  :D  Thank you for liking it!  I've already got another in the works.  But it's going to be so not politically correct and people may hate it.  But the stories write themselves; I don't really control them.
