This chapter works well indeed. Don't doubt yourself. I'm enjoying your writing of Buffy's inward grieving.

Aww, you've got me all teary eyed. How sad! This is an awesome story, I love it. Great chapter.

excellent chapter, thank you.

Lovely chapter. You've handled Buffy's struggle to reconcile her role as slayer with her need for some semblance of a normal life very nicely. And I love how subtle you've been in portraying Buffy's grief - her almost subconcious denial that Spike might be really gone forever. Fantastic1 Want more! Soon, please?

Good chapter.Update soon.Poor Buffy.It seems like she's in denial.

I loved it. Seriously, this story has me so completely hooked. And I loved that last scene, especially the last line. Perhaps soon it won't be the wrong vampire..?

wow, the start of this chapter was so vivid and then it just carried on from there! great job

I think I read this chapter on another site and left a comment there. I must be getting old. anyway, excellent as always, I love this version of Buffy a lot more. I'm truly sorry Joss never used you as a writer, as I've said before, he really missed the boat on that one, Can't wait for the fun to begin

I don't rewiew often due to my very poor english but i like your storie so much that i juste can resist! Thanks for giving us this very good storie and i can wait to read the next chapter. an addicted fan from Paris.

The last scene does work well enough. Sometimes the muse gets hijacked by a character, or occasionally by an idea. So outlines are a good thing, but fleshing them out is what makes a writer.

Great chapter -- sometimes it's better to face your demons!

I love this story. So well written, please update soon!

Very nice update. Wonderful, vivid dream, interesting how she saw what happened in this world and the way it played out in canon... I'm sure there is a reason for that and I can't wait to see what it is.
I liked the last scene and think it worked well, but if you aren't 100% happy with it you may find if you come back to it in a few weeks, when you have a little distance from it, that you will be able to tweak whatever it is that is bothering you.

I liked the last scene--found it really touching. Got a little misty-eyed, as a matter of fact. So when you say fun stuff is going to be happening soon, does that mean you're updating soon, also? I really like this story. I'm also wondering if Spike is going to get resurrected--is that the upcoming fun stuff? Because the parallel between canon S6 and your S6, well, the only thing I can think is that we're in the 147 days. Hmm, intriguing!

Gone 148 day's today, but today doesn't count? What a wild dream but maybe she really had to see it to be sure that's what happened. She knows in her soul what he did but this is Buffy we're talking about, needs to see it with her own eyes, even in a slayer's dream. Don't blame her for not wanting to have to say goodbye for good. This is getting very exciting, waiting to see if Xander's going to help too? No way! Maybe Willow, Tara, Anya and Dawn would do it, if they asked. Thanks for updating. She's admitted to herself that she might love him, so good.

that was excellent, very well done...breaking my heart with buffy's heart break...looking forward to your next chapter, love :)

Great update. I particularly liked the ending sentence.

Nice chapter.

I thought the last scene worked very well. It was sad and touching but not overdramatic. It was a lovely update and I can't wait for all of the "fun stuff" to start. :)
