Brava, Holly! Brief but such huge emotional impact. I really can’t understand why it didn’t receive more ‘Favorites.’ It worked so well with the story line but resolved the terrible heartache at the end of the series. If it is ever expanded, I would love to see Buffy tell Giles and the rest (after taking Dawn aside) that she and Spike were partners and it was not open to discussion. At the end, it would have been great for B to ask S if she should look into birth control, and he to say maybe they shouldn’t. Loved this fic!

I really enjoyed this! It was great reading a Vampire Buffy story with a positive ending. It gave us a really supportive relationship with Spike, and worked out the insecurities and defensiveness in both characters. It was different to see kind treatment of Xander and, to some extent, Giles. It is nice for those characters to get some relief from their usual nastiness.

I don’t know if writers still look at comments after this long, but just in case... I find this story very interesting, especially considering the perspective of the more recent “Me Too” movement. Using the hyperbole of the vampire myth, I think it offers a very mature view of how dreadful mistakes can be made but gotten past with time and understanding. Spike is suffering too as well as Buffy. Ironically, I can attest that not many of our real world vampires are as caring and conscience ridden as William the Bloody. I am loving this story — totally engrossing! Thank you!

Don’t know if authors look at or care for comments so many years after their stories are written. I liked this very much. The ending produced some much needed happiness for sad, traumatic fictional characters, and for those of us who love them. It made me reflect on how everyone was lined up to dictate Buffy’s whole being — her Watcher, parents, Angel, her best friends, Riley, school, government. Of course, a whole organization of Watchers solely existing to control her. The only ones helping her become her own person were Tara and a renegade vampire. Even Spike tried to control her in the wrong way at times. No wonder the girl had trouble knowing her own mind. Great job with this!

Cool plot and great visuals, especially at Stonehenge. Loved it!

Summary: This story picks up at the end of Season 2, The Becoming 2. Buffy has made a deal with Spike to defeat Angelus. It goes off canon when Buffy leaves Giles' flat after talking with Whistler about how to defeat Angelus. Will Spike still help Buffy defeat Angelus when things go pear shaped? And what then? Where will their lives go from there?
You'll find familiar challenges for Buffy with unexpected results as Spike faces them with her. If you like a story with love, romance, sex, fights, angst, tears, laughter, marriage and babies then you're in the right place! I hope you enjoy it!

One thing I find a bit distracting is the changes back and forth in verb tense. I wonder if you have considered just keeping the narrative in past tense? Obviously dialog is an exception. Otherwise I love your fics. Tight construction, novel plots, great action, and positive Spuffy outcomes. I think the pregnant Slayer drinking blood a la Twilight was okay since it fit. The Holtz was a good addition. I found him one of the creepiest characters in either the Buffy or Angel series.

Somehow I am just reading this story the first time in 2021, pandemic ongoing. If you still read these, I just wanted to say what a fabulous story this is. Loved it!

When Dawn makes the ultimate sacrifice to save her sister, friends, and the world, Buffy’s mind snaps. When Buffy's friends give up hope of her ever recovering, and become afraid that she’ll turn violent and uncontrollable, they call in the Council to help. Fearing what the Council will do, Spike, forgotten and ignored by her friends, steps in. Will he be able to reach the Slayer when no one else could? Will he be able to keep her out of the hands of the Council and away from her ‘helpful’ friends? How much heartbreak, guilt, and failure can one girl stand before her indestructible spirit finally resigns the fight and gives up hope?

Did other obnoxious people mention it’s “cavalry” not “Calvary,” the place where crosses became a thing? Really common editing headache. Oh, I hope someone makes a very painful end for Weatherby! Please oh please!
You know, I don't think anyone did on this story, but I think I've gotten that message on another one at some point. Thank you! Not obnoxious at all. I really do try to not have mistakes in my stories but... {{shrug}}
I'll fix it. Thanks!
Weatherby certainly needs a painful end!

No, not squicky enough. I was a childhood abuse case, so no doubt I am prejudiced. He should have lost them. Even then, he would do it again.
It's hard trying to walk a line to not squick out too many people while also delivering adequate retribution. You're likely right, though ... he's un-redeemable, for sure.
Thanks so much for stopping in! Love hearing from you.

Wow, Masterpiece of a story! The previous chapter was a triple hanky. Thanks for the sunny ending!
Ooo! Triple hanky! that's quite a compliment! Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed the ups and downs of this story, and the HEA.
Thank you again for stopping in. Really is lovely to know people are still enjoying this older story.

Brilliant to allow Buffy to chuck it all and bolt the second time. The poor girl Had a world of unfair pressure from Watcher, friends, family, not to get started on demons and Watcher’s Council. I always loved the Ann period for her character and this explored that beautifully. I liked that Spike was honestly created, with muggings and Drusilla longings, and some real anger at Buffy, but the payoff is his character’s extraordinary ability to love and empathize. The humor was great fun and a very nice take off from the two series. Thank you so much for these two stories. They expand the Buffy/Spike legend beautifully and are at the top of my favorites.

I like the idea of the sisters and their interactions here. If one only sticks with canon, why write fan fic? Besides it would make it boring. A lot of writers have added sisters. It makes sense with Spike’s easy affection for Dawn.

Marvelous fic. I love the idea of Spike helping to parent both Dawn and his younger sister!
In life a lot can happen, people move on, the world changes. You get older, dreams are sometimes unobtainable. How would Buffy cope with getting older - and what about happiness for her and Spike? Is that still just out of reach this Christmas?

Thank you so much. Written a long time ago, but I am still pleased with it. At present writing historical romances - The Cousins of Pemberley series. I have a hard time stopping vampires and Slayers from showing up!!!

Goes off-canon during The Harsh Light of Day. Sunnydale is devastated by the release of a prototype virus that was being developed by a branch of The Initiative. Now, half the population is 'infected', and the other half is living on borrowed time. A bite will turn you into one of them, and Buffy's got her mom and sister to think about. With the gem, Spike's immune and so it makes perfect sense to Buffy that he should help them get out of town. But this thing's already bigger than Sunnydale, and if Spike's their best chance of survival then it looks like he's along for the ride.
Introducing: A vampire who's been needed before, but never exactly wanted. And a girl struggling to understand the true nature of good and evil, whilst standing shoulder to shoulder with the Slayer of Slayers. (Inspired by Stephen King's The Stand, AMC's The Walking Dead and every zombie flick I've ever set eyes on).

Yes, I much appreciate retaining the good qualities of Buffy and eliminating the terrible angst in their relationship that drove us crazy in the series. It allows for the love story we have all craved. Kudos!
Monsters, death, torture ... we can deal, but mom seeing video of personal moments? Now that’s truly terrifying! LOL. Good one!
Sorry for the delay in reply on this too, Eloise and thanks for reading. This one was pretty smutty overall, and nope, no one would want their mother seeing them like that. I hope you enjoyed the rest.

Really interesting fic. The ending is only partly sad. She may find a happy life with Will now, unless it really is an alternate dimension. Thanks for giving them one chance to make love. I wonder how Giles would feel with Spike saving the world and losing his first slayer.
Thanks for reading. Yes, it's intentionally ambiguous. It's up to the reader to determine what is real and what is not. I guess, with Buffy not making it out, Giles may not know for sure that it was Spike that saved the world. Maybe Faith saw enough to know what he did. I'm glad you found it interesting. Thanks for telling me so.

I’m going to call this a pilot. If you’d like to see more then I’ll continue, if not I’ll leave it as a one shot. Don’t forget to let me know what your thoughts are.
I've left this as R rated but if I continue the story its likely to move to NC17.

Comment from a Johnny Come Lately: Loved the live swimmers’ touch! Perfect ending!
Random thoughts for future fics: Really loved Wesley’s part in this. He became such a memorable character in the Angel series. Could use more Wesley and Fred in future fanfics (along side Spuffy, of course). I think it would be great if Spike and Buffy took the LA group back to the Hotel and formed their own demon fighting organization that coordinated with and outshone the Council. I’d like to see Giles and Willow retained but put in their place.
I agree, Fred and Wesley are great characters, I'd love to see someone write a Spuffy run demon organisation, perhaps you should add it as a challenge?
Thanks so much for commenting, I'm sorry it took a while to get back to you.

GOOD JOB! YOU HAVE US LIKING THE PIP AND KYLE CHARACTERS SO MUCH THAT WE ARE REALLY WORRIED WITH THEIR CHOICE OF DRINKING PARTNERS. HOPE THEY ARE NOT HURT!
Loved the dramatic action of the two vampires mid-air crash a la Edward Cullens? Also the moors and dark Wuthering Heights-like atmosphere. Since I am an American, I especially love the area dialects. It’s refreshing that Spike gets to be the stronger protective partner for a change, although I keep wondering if this Buffy is going to toughen up and help save the day. I find myself losing interest in many longer fics but this one is still really engaging.
Very cinematic — great action scenes. I really liked the idea of Dru turning the dog, and saying, “Bad doggie!” Would require a Buffy fan to totally get that allusion, but still would be effective for any. Very frightening Hound-of-the-Basquervilles type scenes on the moor. A Bull Mastiff, Great Dane, or Irish Wolfhound would also be good. Of course, seeing even a pet Labrador Retriever turn into slavering attack dog would be terrifying. The little boy ghost Tommy adds a lot. A vampire bishop? Friend or foe?
Eloise, I'm so glad you're still reading this and I Lol'd about the size of the dog, I thought a Labrador was more likely to be redeemed later in the fic but people found this chapter hard going when they first read the fic and were shocked at what happened to the poor creature, I felt terrible. I'm glad the atmosphere came through as you are totally right about Hound-of-the-Basquervilles, it was what I was going for.
Now, the vamp-bishop will be revealed when you read on, no spoilers for you, sweetie :D
Let me know how you find the rest, I'd be interested to know. Thank you so much for your comments.
