Beautiful; angsty yet somehow hope-filled; as if this time, when Spike comes back, he might believe her final words to him in the Hellmouth.
Thank you!
I was going to do a follow-up to this one for the Spuffy Solstice Ficathon on Spuffy Haven (LJ) but it didn't get anywhere near done in time. I, too, hope he believes her when he comes back. BFN!

NICE PIECE - wonderful short story - loved how you connected the elements from the series into your story - especially the theme of "what does this mean?" -
I always think of that line and theme as connected to the work of Joseph Campbell and his comments on the contrasts between Eastern and Western philosophies - with the West always wanting to Name and Titled everything -

A lovely moment between them.

This was beautiful! There's so much unexplored emotion in those last few episodes, and you've created a lovely moment for both of them. I'm so curious to know what Spike's note said, but if you never tell us, it'll be a bittersweet mystery. And reading this sparked a little plot bunny... unrelated to the story itself, but dwelling in that moment of Spike's reflection gave me an idea. :) Thanks!
Thank you, sweetie!
The contents of Spike's note is entirely up to you - I have my own ideas. Chuffed that you liked and even more chuffed that has spawned a plot bunny for you. Cool! *hugs*

Aw, I want to know what he said to her in his letter! Chosen fics always make me a little teary, but it was so romantic!
Thank you, sweetie! I'm afraid I'm leaving it up to you to decide what Spike would have written to Buffy at this time. I have my own ideas but they could differ from yours. So glad you liked and thanks for letting me know. *hugs*

Ah, heartbreaking and lovely. What a wonderful way to remain within canon and still give Spike a bit of what we all hoped he would have someday. :)
Thanks so much, Patti! Playing between the lines of canon is so not my thing, so pulling it off is very pleasing indeed. Not that I'm likely to do it very often! LOL

wow was that ever gorgeous, love :) beautifully done, and i love how you reveal at the end that spike left her a note, without saying what it said...leaves me definitely wanting more...*sigh* great, tear-inducing romantic tragic ficcage here...great job, love :)
Thank you, DoS! So glad you enjoyed - and I thought leaving it up to the reader to decide what the letter to Buffy from Spike contained was the right thing to do here. *hugs*
