TextI am having trouble understanding your time travel explanations about whether they will remember each other when they hit the future. Why wouldn't they? they going forward together to the future so it should be alright. And then there is Winston. Would not his future be totally different than the future they came from? And I could go on but right now that will be enough. JUst to mention this is the 2nd reread.
They should be, but the trouble with writing time travel is it's hard to avoid those paradoxes - if you change what you're changing, and it had a lot to do with where you are now, will you still be there after the change? And yet, if you aren't there, then you won't be sent back and the change wo't happen, and.... yeah. It's one big annoying loop of if this happens, then that didn't, and if that didn't, then you don't need to do this...
Winston's future was different from their's, and it was based on something they did when they first got there that they didn't even notice or do on purpose. And of, course it's getting more different by the day as they continue changing things. None of them - Buffy, Spike, or Winston are returning to the same world they left. Winston understood that and accepted it when he agreed to go back and help them. I'm assuming his world wasn't all that great either if he was willing to give it up to make sure they accomplish what they need to accomplish.  Perhaps we'll learn more about it in the next installment. :)

Poor clueless Angel.

So delighted with the Spuffy feelings talk!
Yay! Thank you.

Angel came, Angel clunked, Angel left.  Perfect.  And topped off with a nice bit of honesty and domesticity ... I have great hopes for them.
They've got some work to do, but who knows? As long and as well as they've known each other, they really have never had a relationship like this before. Going to take some getting used to.

I would have preferred Buffy to punch Angel on the nose, but kicking him in the knee was almost as good. :)
He's really going to put 2 and 2 together from what they said, isn't he? I wonder whether he's going to make 4 or 5, and what he might do about it?
And yes, to live together happily, both Buffy and Spike are going to have to rein in their rampant insecurities. That's going to be hard!
I suspect Angel will figure it out eventually....
