Very good story!    I truly enjoyed this.     Nice to see that the characters from the show were spot-on, and I really enjoyed your original characters.    It would seem that any Travers, either Quentin or Phillip would turn out to be an arrogant, self-important, bigoted moron in any situation.   Well done!   Even better having Quentin declaring the Council's Witch in Residence to be redundant just before the Headquarters is destroyed in Season 7!   Excellent.

Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us.

This is a real gem! It's such a suspenseful and tightly knit story, and even if it's not short it's just long enough to tell what needs to be told. Once the child entered the story, I kind of guessed that the purpose of this time travel would be something in the way it then showed to be - but it still had me guessing until the very end. Both Buffy and Spike are very much in character - she's just a little bit more honest to herself aobut her feelings for him than she was in the show  (just as we all wanted her to be. :)  and Spike's feelings are very realistically reluctant. There is just enough between them to create that feeling of fated and inevitable love that we all also know is the case with these two. ;-) The end is open enough to fuel one's curiosity - didn't that time travel change things anyway? Something seems to be different... just different enough to point toward a more happy ending than season 6 provided us with.

Great read! I loved it.

I really loved the story! Read it in less than two days! It was very original, and very well written!

What is this tiny little loose end that you've left? Will you be writing a sequel? Please get back to me! Thanks! Great story!

ooh, I was right, I was right!! The similarity of the names was just too close to be coincidence.  At least, I thought it was.  I almost didn't want to think about it for fear I was being too simplistic.  But I think you did an amazing job with this.  Your knowledge of WWII really shows.

 

 

Thank you for a fantastic story.  I 've enjoyed every chapter - your characterisations are so good. Looking forward to whatever you write next.

Totally enjoyed!  I love the way you tied a bit together at the end.  And yes, sequel please!

Oh, bravo! Well done for seeing this out, you deserve to be rewarded with many lovely shiny things. I've enjoyed every moment.

Bravo, you wrapped all that up very cleverly.  I loved the business with the locket and the lingering feelings both Spike and Buffy have... in a circular way of course.  Toads rock.

Loved the story Lilac - especially our friend Henry.  Yes yes yes to a sequel.

The doctor watched them go. He felt satisfied with this adoption. The Summers were a good, kind couple. Not the sort to go out and save the world, but he was sure their boy would grow up to father children of his own and, the doctor chuckled to himself, perhaps one of those would one day save the world!

Holy shit.... I did NOT see that coming!

Bravo!!!!!!!!

(write more please :D I love your stories)

I really enjoyed the irony that Travers' evil plan actually helped Buffy to save her own Grandmother. :) Loved the Henry scene, you definitely need to continue with this so dear Henry/Flannigan can return and enchant everyone with his presence again... lol!
Thanks for sharing another wonderful tale, it's definitely been a delightful ride... good story!

Thank ypu! It had been a wonderful journey.

I will miss this story too.  I've filed it in my favorites book.  I really enjoyed it.  A sequel will certainly be appreciated.

Henry ate papers, yay!
Hank was Aurora's? Heehee. That explains how Buffy has the locket back even though she lost it.
And Buffy and Spike have hints of the past they're not catching.....lol......but who needs to know when you're gettin nekkid.
Flanagan/Henry knows the Council will blow up in the future.....yes, very good to run to Devon, indeed.

It's too bad Buffy can't remember how Spike kept helping her at a time when he was evil and unrestrained. But maybe those hidden memories will make her treat him better from now on?

Shame on me because I am commenting before I actually read the last chapter.  But I just couldn't wait to thank you so much for sticking with this story for an entire year and a half start to finish.  (Too many fanfic writers give up on such long stories, so the readers never get resolution in those stories and that is so frustrating!)  I know you felt sometimes that people weren't reading it anymore--but we were!  And now that it is completed, you will have another wave of people coming to read it because I know there are many who won't read a story until it is finished.  All your long, hard work was definitely worth it!  I can't wait til this evening when I have time to come back and read the rest of the story.  Thanks!

After reading this entire amazing story from start to finish I can say with utter certainty that I would love a sequel to this.

 "Oh me! Me! Yes a sequel please!"  Loved this from start to finish.  Can't help but wish that some of the memories flood back now that they are back together.  It could but help them in their current situation.

Love that Aurora is Buffy's actual grandmother.  Love that twist very much (what a shame her son became something of a rotter).

Still hate all things Travers, good job on painting them as the arrogant wretches they are LOL.

Just a delight start to finish.  LOVED Spike's vamp army.  Like to think they had a hand in turning the tide of the war.  Wish he'd told Buffy a little bit (it might jog her memory a bit too).

Sequel oh yes there had better be a sequel. This story was so much fun to read.

So Aurora was Hank Summers' mother - so Buffy had to go back in time to save her own ancestor or she wouldn't exist - the paradox makes my head spin! LOL
What a wonderful original tale you spun for us! Thank you so much. I vote for a sequel please... Um... Can I have more than one vote?
I want to know what happens to Dorcas and Flanagan... as well as how the Spuffy relationship develops....
