*Wipes tears* Still an absolutely beautiful piece of fiction and I wanted you to know I still love this short so very much. Maybe one day a sequel. I can hope.

hmmm... I like the idea... however, it is a bit.... vague. One thing I really do relate to is the huge need that Buffy had to people please. It was one of her fatal flaws, as well as a strength. Though she was very self centered, she also really cared about her friends, but unfortunately, she cared too much about their opinion. she didn't judge when they made surprising choices... Anya, Kennedy... even Cordy and Oz... I mean, Oz was a werewolf and Cordy at the time Xander got involved with her was almost pure bitca... Yet they judged her relentlessly and unfortunately, she let them. This is the cautionary tale. I do wish I'd seen what happened next... some hint that things had really changed, but I guess that's a different story.

Ah yes...this is another with a sequel planned.
I wanted the reader to be able to decide (until I do write that sequel) if Buffy would use what she had learned or if she would need further nudging to prevent a re-do of the mess she made the first time. I left it with hope and fully intend to explore what I think she'd do.
ITA about how she accepted her friends choices without batting an eye but really was too interested in their opinions when it came to her own life. Perhaps it's residual from her terrible choices with Angel that led to so much tragedy. She stood up to them then and in her mind that way led to death and pain. She lost her confidence at least with her love decisions. I'd like to think she'd get that confidence back especially knowing they were terribly wrong and she suffered for it.

I'd also love a sequal to this. I wanna see how Buffy will change her future. And I have no doubt her friends will support her once she admitted to herself that Spike is the one. :)
Thank you! Yup a sequel is in the works and once I have completely finished it I will post it. Glad you enjoyed the story!

My tears are flowing freely. Wonderful tale!
Delighted that you enjoyed the story! I plan a sequel to this in time but it may be a slight while as my muse is insisting on a couple of others first. Thank you for the review. Kathleen

:(:(This was indisputablly the best time-travel fic I've ever read.
I admire your talent,don't ever doubt that and don't think that I'm just being an adulator of yours.No,I'm not exaggerating anything in any of my reviews,I'm quite sincere. I've been sobbing for the last ten minutes.This was just so intense,so necessary,so familiar and so blue yet hopeful,but enough to prevent my breath by the sobs and tears it caused. I can't imagine a reality which I won't spill a few tears when remembering this or will forget it all completely.No,this beauty of your will always be on my mind,make me feel the very core of the Spuffy love.Thank you so much for bringing this piece of perfection to the reality.

*blushes* Thank you! I wanted it to end bittersweet....hopeful that Young Buffy would change everything but not deal with what she does until the sequel. I am honored at your praise and delighted you enjoyed the story. k

What a lovely story!
So sad that Spike had died without ever realising that Buffy really did love him, and that Buffy had to live with her regrets and without her vampire for so long. I'm so glad she took the chance and went back to try to make things right! *crossing fingers that it works!*
Oh, and the reason I kept thinking I'd read this story was that I was getting it mixed up with your fabulous 'What You Wished For'. *head desk*

So pleased you liked it! Yes I could see (especially from the bloody comics) that Joss was likely going to never have her realize what she had there so I fixed it *G*. Love that power.

That was just lovely, and I like how you've explained TGIQ so well with the Giles/Angel engineered vision of Buffy dancing. I like that explanation and it's the one I'm going to believe. Thanks for this story.
It made a sort of sense that nothing else really did without making Buffy an unredeemable bitca IMHO. Thank you and you are welcome. K

This is also slated for a sequel. I'll be starting the sequel for From These Seeds first then this one. *G* K

I will look forward to a sequel to this one.
Yes, in fact my Beta is demanding one too *G*. I'll do a sequel to From These Seeds first though. I like to give my Spike a happy ending even if he has to slosh through angst first. K

Like the idea of a sequel. I love these sad types of stories but that have a little hope, also love the tragic hero who does all the right things but never gets anything for it.
Oh I do love angst, but I love making Spike happy even more. I write schmoop too but my angsty stories have that silver lining at least. Can't just leave it all dark....sigh. Life offers few enough happy endings, I like my fic to at least offer the hope. K

WOW! This was just... wow. Any hope of a sequel?
Yup. I have a couple of other projects to get done first but a sequel is pretty much a given. K

Another great fic! I love what you did and am keeping my fingers crossed for a possible sequel sometime.
I'm most likely to do a sequel since my Beta will be on my case to do it (she wants one badly). I'd like to explore it further too. Thanks. K
