This was a just right ending considering how it started and the things that transpired in between.  In other words, they did not have time to work things out.  It's a new beginning.

 

Well done. So many nice little touches to this story, like humanSpike's utter disgust at his vampire self, and Xander's equal-opportunity evil-magnetism. I very much enjoyed it, and I think you left it at a good place.

actually like where you left the tale. maded a very good read, as is. and if you every wish to revisit this buffy and spike, they, and we, are waiting. good read, thank you.

Good ending. Start a new story soon. I like this ending as much as I wanted Spuffy together.

I like this story a lot and think you did a great job contrasting the two realities. I think the ending worked really well and I liked the uncertainty of their path.

OH I loved it, so Spike is not taking her away from Sunnydale.

I think the ending is very hopeful.
