Summary:

When it's all said and done, Buffy chose to stay with a shanshu'd human Angel. Spike had thought his resilience and devotion would sway Buffy's decision but it did not. Heartbroken, Spike decided to travel the country and become a demon hunter of sorts. It was during one of his missions that he ends up fighting a demon that could cross realities/dimensions. 

Not thinking, Spike jumps through the portal and kills said demon resulting in him being stuck. 

In this reality he had died closing the Hellmouth. He also finds a grieving Buffy who is devastated that her Spike didn't believe she loved him. 

 

I basically want a story where two heartbroken people get a second chance for love. 



Summary: Post Season 7. Buffy chooses a shanshu'd Angel over him. What happens when a heartbroken Spike ends up in a different reality?
