Please update. I have enjoyed every word and syllable. It's a complete change from other alternate and time travel stories, it so unique, you got me checking everyday for updates. 

This is such a great change from most of the other stories I have read - super nice to have something this different.  And I love your idea of the alternative D Buffy's Soul wanting nothing more than to connect again with her Spike.  Good Job!

Yaaay, super update. I can't wait to see how you get the Scoobs to bond with Spike. I like the idea of them being friends with him before Buffy. I know Spike always liked Willow and she was really sweet when he tried and failed to bite her. Without the death threats and kidnappings, Xander has little real reason for hating Spike. He loves super heroes and Spike's definately up there with the best. Looking forward to seeing how Buffy takes to being left out of the loop. She didn't seem to like it when she was told she'd been replaced. She seems to think that because she's having a break, so is evil. I wonder if she can stand aside while people are dying around her. Which is like every day at Sunnydale High. 

Love it!  I hope Giles's strategy works without too much distress.
