It's very good -- kind of poignant though.

Well, that's what I was going for, so thanks :)

Six chapters? Only six? But this is SO COOL! Maybe you might think of more chapters? More Spikes? LOTS of Spikes?? :)
You've got SUCH a fun idea.

Thanks so much! I have revised my estimate up a little on the total number of chapters.

Where in the hell are they all coming from? Bet it did rattle her to see that Spike dusted. Maybe he could have changed as well as the other Spikes did, now we'll never know. Not good at all. This is so weird but in a good way. Wondering if her Spike will show up as well. Thanks, MC.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Dusted the evil Spike! Oh, that was a surprize.

I thought about tying him up and keeping him around for a while, but the Spike tally is climbing too fast :)

this was a fun read and became even more interesting with this chapter. thank you. (don't bother to read any quibbles, just spend the time writing.)

Thanks, vladt. I hope to have the next chapter ready soon.

Okay, I had to read it twice, but I think I've got all of the Spikes: 1) Real Spike, who's not with Buffy, 2) Human Spike, who's married to and has a daughter with his Buffy, 3) Vampire Spike, who's with his barren Buffy, and 4) De-chipped Spike, who just got dusted by Vampire Spike. Is that right?

Tangent: Wasn't David Addison the name of Bruce Willis's character on "Moonlighting?"
*blushes* It was killing me trying to think why that name was familiar. Oops.

I'm sorry if it was confusing, but yes, you've got it!

I love this idea and I can't wait to see where you take it. The writing is excellent and the different Spike voices are very effective.

Thank you! I'm glad the different Spikes are working. I'm trying to make them varied enough to play up all the 'could have beens'

This is a great story, Ms, hope you write more. And, how many more Spikes are there?

Thanks again! I'm working on the next part of the story now. There are several more Spikes on the way.

Just catching up here (unless you put up all three chapters at the same time; in which case I don't feel so stupid..) Anyway - I love the idea and I think you're handling it well. Stories like this can be tricky because it's so easy to fall into plot holes - so, go you. Looking forward, obviously, to "her" Spike's finally showing up to help sort things out; no doubt, not without some misunderstanding and angst first.

small voice - there were a couple of typos in the second chapter-nothing major.
Looking forward to the rest of it. :)

Thanks! Actually, yes, I did post the three together. The 'native' Spike will make an appearance soon, and yes, he's going to be grumpy about how some of the other Spikes treat her and how she treats them.

My beta and I had some file corruption problems in moving the files around. I'll give it another look-over. Thanks!

This story is definitely interesting. Love the different versions of Spike. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the rest as well.

This is great! I love the idea and the various versions of Spike. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this one. Thanks!

Thank you for reading and reviewing! Hope to have the rest posted soon.

This is really neat! I mean, kind of sad for Buffy, but a really good story idea. How many Spikes can you fit in a small townhouse?

Thank you!

Interesting plot! Love getting to see Spike in all his incarnations.

Thank you!

oh man...that was disturbing to me, too, seeing any spike get dusted...excellent chapter, though, looking forward to more :)

Thanks! I hope to have more up soon.

I'm enjoying this. Also, kinda curious about the full stories about the other Spikes, especially as at least the human one lived in a identical house with Buffy. More soon please, it's fun.

Thank you! I'm working on rough drafts for the rest now. I hope you'll enjoy those too.

So, just gotta say, loving this, as I do everything you write. This David Addison, did he by any chance once work for a detective agency? Laughed out loud when cursed!Spike dusted unchipped!Spike. Thanks for writing!

Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying it.

I like it so far. I like that there are possibilities all over the universe depending on choices made or actions done.

Thanks, and yes, it has been a lot of fun thinking about how and what could be different in all these different realities.

An extremely interesting concept, hon. Can't wait to read the rest of what you have in mind.

Thanks! I'm working on the second half of the story now.

I love the idea of this and what you've done so far. I can't wait to see what other Spikes will turn up and if the real Spike will show up. It is disturbing to think of any Spike being dusted, just like Time Bomb. -shudders- Can't wait till the next update:)

Thanks! I'm working on the second half of the story now. There will indeed be more Spikes, and our own Spike will make an appearance soon as well.

Wow...that would definitely be bewildering.

Huh..wonder why all the Spike's..well, nevermind, it's because Buffy made a wish arouns a vengeance demon that got saved in the cemetery. Or some other wish granting type.

The David thing is squicky...but I guess it's very plausible that she and Spike had a confrontation, and still didn't get together. I'm pretty sure our Spike wanted her to do the chasing this time...to feel like he's worthy of it. Buffy's smell had to be in that club, though, because he'd never mistake her, otherwise. The miscarriage really sucks...(really, though I don't know how sorry I feel for Buffy in a fate sense, but that's just me being on Spike's side.)

And two out of three of the other Spikes are with her and in love with her....what a reminder of what they could have without the stubborn crap...

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm taking the idea from the comic that it was a fake in Italy, and yeah, part of why Buffy is miffed with Spike is that a) he couldn't tell it wasn't really her, and b) thinking it was her, he let her go on thinking he was dead.

'Our' Spike will be showing up soon. Hope you'll stay tuned!
