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!
{{ Thanks so much to Angelic Amy and PaganBaby for all their help with this story!}}

Buffy has a Slayer dream that spurs her to take action in another dimension . . . in the dimension where Spike burnt up in the Hellmouth alone and was sent to L.A. to work with Angel. But can she return from that mission in time to avert disaster that threatens Spike in her own world?

What were your exact words? Something like the Evil Joss Dimension. Loved the concept. Of course, breaking every Spuffy fan’s heart directly led to Spuffy fics, so maybe not 100% evil. Just 96%?
Yes, as much as we bemoan what Joss did, he is the reason we are still in love with these characters 25 years later, still writing and reading fanfic about them, still FIXING everything!

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.

What a great fic! 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.
Many thanks to Pfeifferpack for the wonderful banner.

What a wonderful story! I really liked your showing a man (Xander) can be abused as well as women, if not always in the same ways. My father was and my mother abused me too. Thank you for that. I hate it when a really good story ends. I want to keep living there. Luckily we have so many good writers on this site.
I absolutely loved the concept of FAMILY, and most of all that Spike got to have real family!

I really like Dalton a lot. I would love to see him survive in some story and be a part of the team, or at least Spike and Buffy’s team. Loving Dawn in this. Fun story!!

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!

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).
