excellent update, thank you. anya as practical as ever; xander growing up; tara channeling earthmother; dawn seeing a way to unite her best friend and her sister; and then there is red, as egocentric as ever. very enjoyable read.
Thanks. I'm still enjoying writing this one. Glad you like it. Some people really do come by change on their own...while others react in a healthy manner by considering ideas or events that challenge the way they think...while still others never change, because nothing is ever their fault. Willow always fell into that last category to me. She didn't like negative consequences, but always wanted to thing that she knew how to 'do it right this time.' :P

WOW! Amazing story. Great crossover idea. I hope you will update again soon because I can't wait to see the Scoobies meet Strider. :)
And that is coming soon - within the next 2 chapters! Thanks for the awesome review. Appreciate your continued patience as this story unravels. It's been on the backburner while I completed the next section of The Path Less Traveled which should be posted within a week. Once that's up, look for more updates here. Thanks again! :)

the plot thickens. loving this story. lovely to see spike as a hero
Thank you so much! I'm having fun writing this story. It's been on the backburner while I was working on the next section of The Path Less Traveled. It's almost done and will be up soon. As soon as I post that, I will be back on regular intervals for updates here. Thanks for being patient! :)

Oh Spike had a wife....sweet....hope this story is updated soon this just got way more interesting.
So sorry for the long delay in updates. I had to put my other WIPs on hold to finish the next section of The Path Less Traveled. You can expect to see that up within a week or so and then this should begin updating shortly thereafter. Thanks again for reviewing! :)

Oooh! Clifhanger! This chapter was worth the wait, and if you explain a little bit more, I know the next chapter will be, too.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I know you've already waited quite some time now, but I promise to start updating again soon. I'm almost finished the next section of The Path Less Traveled and once it's done, I'll be back on track here. Thanks for the kind review and for your continued patience! :)

I really do hope that he had a wife who he truly loved. Spike hasn't had someone truly love him unconditionly in all his life/unlife except his mother but that was a different kind of love. And Buffy has no right to be jealous, she still thinks that vile angel is her true love in canon.
I think you'll appreciate where this story is going next. Sorry for the long delay in posting. I've been hard at work on the next section of The Path Less Traveled and that takes so much time to write that everything else has to wait in the meantime. Hope to begin updating again shortly. Thanks again for reviewing! :)

Terrific chapter, at least until that last part. Now Spike´s true love was his elven wife? So Buffy is what? Noone, replacement, what? He forgot Buffy after diving into the portal? As fine as it is that he had someone, that true love part bothers me to no end.
Hopefully you won't be as bothered when you see how I lay all that out. Speaking of which, I realize you've been waiting quite some time to do just that! Sorry for the lengthy delay but all my spare time has been aimed at completing the next section of The Path Less Traveled which I plan to post within a week or so. After that I should be back on regular update intervals with this tale. Thanks again for your comments and for taking the time to review! :)

Great update! Willow needs to get over herself and I love Anya's way of looking at things. I wonder what the story behind Spike's wife is. Update soon, please?
I am so sorry for the very long delay in updating. I have been completely focused on finishing the next section of The Path Less Traveled which is my most demanding WIP and this has been on the backburner. I hope to have another chapter soon. Thanks for the review and your continued patience! :)

amazing tale. anya true to character,figuring how to best fit in and profit. willow concerned more about the loss of power than anything else. and buffy is sure to be jealous of spike's dead wife. fantastic tale, thank you.
Amazing? Wow! Thank You! Seriously, I'm sorry it's been so long since I updated. I had to put everything else on hold so I could complete the next section of The Path Less Traveled which has been quite arduous. I hope to have that up within a week and promise to begin updating this tale again soon. Thanks for your patience and enthusiasm! :)

yeah Buff, what now? I love this! (allthough I have a suspicion that it isn't exactly as she says... maybe he's just mourning Buffy ;-) and that elven wife was just a dear friend? lolz... or Buffy is going to have a jealous fit and it turns out it's all true... or it's something different alltogether....) anyway I'm still loving this story and eagerly waiting for an update!
Thanks for the wonderful review. I'm having a lot of fun writing this one. Sorry for the delay in posting. I wanted to get the next installment of The Path Less Traveled done and I can't focus on any other stories when I work on it because it's so demanding. Hope to post that within the next week and then promise to explain some of what's going on here. Thanks for your patience! :P

wow spike married? really loving this fic
Thanks for taking the time to review. Glad you're enjoying it & I promise I haven't forgotten this story. Sorry it's been so long since the last update. I've been hard at work on the next section of The Path Less Traveled and had to put everything else on the backburner as it is the most demanding story I'm working currently. I plan to post that within the week and will begin updating this story again soon. :)

hmmm...i think the lack of magic will probably be good for willow...if i remember rightly "magic -- for lack of a better word" was a natural part of the elves' makeup, right? not something someone could really "learn" or get by the means such as willow did...hmmm....interesting thought :)
i like anya's thoughts, too...very realistic to her character...i love anya :)
and wow! spike had an elven wife?? can't wait to hear more about that one!
excellent update, pet...can't wait for more ;)
