another excellent chapter.   They haven't figured out that she claimed him too yet.  Maybe Giles will be the one to put that together.  Love Willow's reaction and Buffy's reaction to knowing what she should have done before.

Thank you for liking it!  I wanted to experiment with an accidental claim and wasn't sure whether it would be believable.  But reactions seem to be positive.

Thanks for another great chapter; I'm glad she told him before telling everyone else. 
This time I wanted the Scoobies cut out of the loop for once.  Thank you for liking it!

she's being kind of stupid, there's no telling what could happen to him if he left, he could still easily be killed.  she already changed a lot, that might not even be an issue now.  all she has to do is stop herself from dying, then the first would probably not even show up.  yes, they may have been bad for each other at times, but she is the reason he was a champion and even cared to change, without that, he would probably still be a killer.  i hope she comes to her senses soon.
She's spent a year blaming herself and all she can think of now is that loving her kills him.  It's not logic.  But it's growth in that she's now willing to make sacrifices for him, instead of constantly taking.

I hope Buffy listens to the little voice that's telling her Spike is right.  Events do not have to repeat themselves this time.
Buffy always has to have things rubbed in!

This is so sweet and hot. I loved the Willow/Firoud mutual admiration society. I wonder if Xander is going to be a worse problem than in the original timeline? It's awfully funny that Buffy thinks she can weasel out of being with Spike, full on. Fate, dear girl. You captured Spike well with this:

“Only a month? Did something wrong, did I? Figures.”

Buffy's honestly trying to save Spike and thinks it's best to give him up.  But it's Fate, all right.  And the lovely thing about Spike is that he's aware of his failings and takes responsibility for them, the only one of the bunch of them in canon who does.
