This was beutiful done, a great chapter were they fill each other with hope. wonderful writing and use of pictures. That Buffy picture in the beginning felt perfect, the way she looked was just right, I could see the emotions.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! I'm so glad you liked the pictures! I'm having a small problem finding many of Spike since my muse had to make him look like William or Spilliam ... I tried to change that and make him look like 'Spike' again, but my muse told me he'd walk if I did that so..... thus the use of more metaphorical photos...

Will have another chapter later today ... still on hiatus from the angst for at least one more chapter ... Thanks sooo much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you, as always!! -P4S 2011.05.20

Another really powerful chapter. I'm so worried for Spike, I don't know how long he can hold out w/o losing his mind completely. :( Than God Buffy is there and is healed and is giving him some comfort. He really needs it.

I'm loving the Buffy/Dawn scenes. They're so cute. Yay! for Buffy finding her Scythe. that ought to help, hopefully. Loved Buffy telling Dawn stories about her life, and Spike. Thank goodness Buffy has Dawn.

Love the story...angsty beyond belief, but so, so good. :)

Author's Response: Hi AMI! It's definately worrisome ... They're really messing with our Spikey's mind and heart and soul... Hopefully, Buffy can give him enough comfort and love to keep him from going over the edge while she works on fixing it.

I'm sooo glad you like the Dawn/Buffy scenes - I was hoping those would take our mind off the fact that Spike isn't in every chapter, which goes against my religon ... but, I must do as my muse instructs! I like this Dawn sooo much better than the brat she was on the show! (which is why Spike and Buffy have Annie and not Dawn! LOL!)

Will have more soon! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in - really love hearing from you! -P4S 2011.05.20

The angst may not be over, but Buffy has use of her arm back and is no longer dying from a ghost infection. And the garden seems to be a much better place to kill time than hell-to-be with flying werewolves and spider monsters. But, what is one more angst for another. Glad they got to have a moment, good to remember what you're fighting for. Update soon!

Author's Response: Hi Buffyrat! Yeah, it's good that she's healed and a little time together in the garden will help their spirits! Will have more later today! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you! -P4S 2011.05.20

I am glad that Buffy and Dawn were able to share some laughter. This story is so sad. I feel awful for Spike. I hope you will not keep him lanquishing in this hell forever. There has to be some bright spot for him. I guess the bright spot is Buffy's love for him and their love for each other. Great but sad chapter.

Author's Response: Hi Bridget! I think Spike might have a little respite from limbo coming up very soon ... thanks to Buffy and the scythe. I'll get another chapter posted soon! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you! -P4S 2011.05.17

Nice bonding moment between Buffy and Dawn. I should have thought about the Scythe but when she found it I guessed that it would follow her into limbo. Poor Spike he's getting worse, I hope that finding the amulet will help. Doyle is probably sincere but the Oracles wasn't that much use in the show, so I wonder.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! The scythe will come in handy for her several times. You're right about the Oracles not being much help on the show ... we'll see if Buffy can find a way to make them more receptive! Thanks so much for reading and alway stopping in.

She may not have found the amulet yet, but having the scythe makes me happy. Especially if it can travel with her to limbo. A true part of the slayer. Hope Buffy and Dawn can make it out of the Sunnydale Crater and didn't get too drunk on the wine. A real nice touch finding the vineyard. Awesome chapter. Another hint of progress. Ready for more!

Author's Response: Hi Buffyrat! Getting the scythe will help a lot ... not just healing but being able to take it to limbo... it's gonna come in handy more than once! Will have more soon! Thanks so much for reading and chatting! Love hearing from you! -P4S 2011.05.17

Well that's a twist..Doyle huh? I aleaysliked him, so sad when the actor playing him died. I hope he's trustworthy here..after all he is Angel's friend, not Buffy's. So the Broodypire(tm) is in the SunnyD crater huh? lol Too bad we can't leave him there. *Angel rage is still strong*

Poor Dawnie, she feels so guilty. :( Which is normal IMO and I'm surprised she didn't feel more so in the show.
So everytime Buffy falls asleep she gets sent to hell-limbo? That's horrible. She does need to sleep..maybe she can figure something out, and only go to butterfly land.:)

Question...Buffy knows about Doyle from her memories of other dimensions right? Cause she's never met him in her dimension. I don't remember if she met him in AtS when she appeared on that show...she probably did. Anyway hopefully he won't double cross her. the Oracles I can't stand...they never helped really.I just hated all that crap on AtS. *shrug* Oh well guess beggars can't be choosers, she needs all the help she can get.

More, more more this is so good. *hugs*

Author's Response: Hi AMI! I always liked Doyle, myself - It was tragic when the actor that played him died (Glenn Quinn). You'll be happy to know that Angel himself, has only a very small scene in this story (and no, Buffy doesn't beat him to a pulp or dust him in it ... sorry!). Buffy did meet Doyle the one time she went to LA - that was the show where Angel met the Oracles and had them 'take the day back' - the day he was made into a 'real boy' and spent it with Buffy. We'll just have to wait and see what Doyle, the Oracles and the PTB can/will do to help her- but first, Buffy has to find the amulet.

Yes, thus far, everytime Buffy's fallen asleep, she goes to the hell-limbo, she's gotten out to the buttefly garden a couple of times, but doesn't really have any control over it (so far).

I agree with you that Dawn should've felt guilty on the show - I think that any normal teenage girl in her situation would've felt horribly guilty about what happened.

Buffy's really not sure which way to go, so right now this is her best option - we'll just have to see how it turns out! Will have more soon!! Thanks sooooo much for reading and posting here - I always love your insightful reviews! {{hugs}} -P4S 2011.05.14

*sobbing* Oh this is so sad. I can't stand the thought of Spike being in so much mental and physical pain. I'm glad Buffy was able to wake up..it's the only way she can do anything, even if Spike has to be alone. :(

God I hate that skank-ho rat...I hope when Buffy finds her she inflicts major damage on her. Horrible bitch.I don't care if William married Cecily, even if they're happy she doesn't deserve it. Buffy will have major choices to make won't she? And I don't wanna think about if they had kids. :( Oh man...

Even with all the angst and tears I'm so loving Dawn Yeah! Dawnie...internet is great huh? Lots of info there. Loved the pic of Spike's dad. :)

I'm trusting you to give us a happy ending...even if it seems IMPOSSIBLE right now. The journey is long and hard, but hopefully it'll be worth it.

On to the next chappie...love it, boo. *squishes*

Author's Response: Hi AMI! My muse is smirking ... he loves to make us cry!! *hands you a tissue* He's such a devil!

Buffy will definately have some choices to make and things will get harder for them before they have any chance of getting better ... sorry to say!

Didn't Vette do a *great* job on Spike's dad!?? I loved that so much when she did it (a while back), I had to find a way to use it! And yeah, Dawn is about the only person that got *better* for not having Spike around to coddle her ... Thank goodness Buffy at least has her help in this crazy world!

Thanks so much for sticking in here through the tears and the angst! It's gonna be a long ride, so keep those Kleenex handy (I wonder if my muse owns Kleenex stock ... that could explain a LOT! LOL!) {{{{big hugs }}}} -P4S 2011.05.14

Hallie can't grant her own wish but Buffy won't know that. How does Doyle know about how things could have been? Mayby because he was a seer? This is really interesting. Dawn is feeling very guilty in this reallity she had to see more about how damaged Buffy was.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! You're right, Hallie can't grant her own wish, but Buffy doesn't know that .. yet.

I'm working under the assumption that, since Doyle is 'dead' and a PTB messenger, he along with the Oracles or other PTB minions, would have been able to watch the change in realities on earth but be unaffected by the magic. I get into that later - Buffy's told that magic on the physical plane typically doesn't affect the PTB ... I'll make sure that assumption is clear, though.

I never understood how someone Dawn's age wouldn't have been more guilt-ridden in canon over the death of her sister. In this reality, Buffy's mental damage from dying and being brought back was much more apparent without Spike helping her cope, so Dawn could see it more clearly ... and react to it more like I think a person in her shoes would've.

Forgot to add that I love how you worked the picture of Father Weckerly in, Spike comes from a long line of hero's. BTW, I hope to all that is holy that William in marrying Cecily didn't procreate with her.....cause that would be wrong! wrong and more wrong! Don't make me try to morph together a pic of William and Cecily to see how their off-spring would look like cause honestly, that visual would be too frightening. Let's keep our fingers crossed and pray that William threw up all over Cecily when she wanted to get intimate with him and no body fluids were ever exchanged. Going off the wrong bend here, so I'm begging off blaming your evil muse for this twisted thinking!

Author's Response: Hi Vette! I LOVED that picture of William's father - I had to find a way to use it! I wanted his father to be an intellectual, but a hero, as well, so when I read up on how the British Empire worked back then (with offiicers basically buying their commissions), it was PERFECT!

LOL about William and Cecily procreating ! Actually, there will be children in the 1800's for William and Cecily ... but, as always with my evil muse, they will be used for the utmost angst and torture for Buffy and Spike - you don't have to do any new morphing! If that makes no sense, it's ok, it will later! I hate to give all of BB's angsty surprises away!

Thanks again for the wonderful manips/morphs you did - I TOTALLY LOVE THEM!! {{hugs}} -P4S 2011.05.14

Love the glimmer of hope peeking through this chapter. So, Spike is in purgatory and Buffy can go to a different more pleasant place but not by choice just by chance? Could she pull Spike to that place to hide from the trials via a re-newed claim? Cause, Spike has very little marbles left and Buffy is running out of anatomy to their situation. Where's the Buffy Bot when you need it, what I mean is like the movie "Substitutes" Buffy can get crazy Willow to spell her consciousness into a the Buffy Bot to let her body heal while she goes to set things back to they way they were. Just saying.... All the pain Buffy goes through with your evil muse seems kinda cruel - *Glares at your evil muse* Anyhow, Yay Dawn - go help Buffy bop for baubles at the bottom of the hell mouth crater.

Author's Response: Hi Vette!! Yes, thus far, Buffy can't get out of the red purgatory on her own ... this time Doyle got her out - but your wish for her to find a way to get Spike out of it and over to the Butterfly Garden just might happen {wink} -you'll have to wait and see!

Unfortunately, with no Spike, there is no BuffyBot ... since he's the one that commissioned her. Plus, no Willow - Willow's lost her marbles, too.

Yes, my evil, blue-eyed muse (I call him Blue Boy, or BB, for short) is really making us all pay for me having him write that long, happy Christmas story ... paying us back in spades, he is.

Yay for a Dawn that's been made mentally stronger and more mature (on top of being older) for the life she's had - the only good thing to come out of no Spike to coddle her. We'll see how much help she'll be in Sunnydale soon! Thanks so much for reading, even with the angst, and stopping in here! {{hugs}} -P4S 2011.05.14

Another strong chapter, there were so much emotions in it. Cecily and William did get married, the question is of course, how did ske do this, magic or wish? In order to do something about it they need to know that. I can't help but wonder how Williams life was. If he was happy would it be right to kill him and his life? Ther's some etics to think about.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! Buffy will be led down a few different paths as she tries to figure out what Hallie did and how to fix it - I think she's going to assume it was a wish, since Hallie would know how to do that very well and word the wish exactly right to make the outcome as she wants. Buffy will struggle with the ethics of ruining the happy life of William (but that will be a long ways off after trips down a few dead ends) ...the question is, what will she decide to do?

OMG Dawn was so great in this chapter. Hopefully she's right and Buffy waking up will heal her. I loved the escape from the hospital and Andrew was funny..loved the snark.

God poor Spike, I can't stand what he's going thru. He's so broken and in pain. I dread to think what'll happen to him if Buffy leaves and he's all alone. :(

Hopefully when Buffy wakes up her and Dawn will start figuring things out and working on a plan.

A strong chapter, now I have Dawn to feel bad for too, but this means that Buffy has one person on her side. This story makes me think about the Kelly Clarkson song "my life would suck without you". When I first heard it I thought about Buffy and Spike during season 6, but in this story can we see that Buffys life would suck without Spike.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! Yeah, Dawn's had it pretty hard, feeling that what Buffy had to do on the Tower was her fault. I never understood why canon-Dawn never felt that way, frankly.
