It has taken me days to get rid of the image of Spike and Riley rutting. Frankly if I was able to scrub the pictures out of my brain I would do so. I don't know if I can read anymore of that type of activity but I like your writing and this series so much that I will keep reading. You said it would not be graphic but unfortunately your words and Buffy's reaction painted a really good picture. Ugh. Sorry I r put this review under the wrong chapter.

Author's Response: No problem .... I knew what you meant! :)

Author's Response: Hi Bridget ... I'm sorry - I really didn't think it was too graphic, and hoped people that didn't want to 'see' it could block it out. Sorry! There won't be any more of that - one more kiss later - that's it, I promise. I also hoped the double dose of Spike would wipe out the Riley-residue.... :) Think good thoughts ... just see the two Spikes. Keep the faith ....

Having Spike involved with Riley (I think I actually like Angel more than Riley) wasn’t evil enough for your muse!? He had to leave us there?!?! For one brief, hope-filled moment I thought Spike was going to stake Riley or let Annie do it when he was instructing her on slaying. I hope Spike has plans to punish him more than that for not saying anything when he opened the cans for her. Thanks for the update, more soon please.

Author's Response: Oh, the bloodlust! Tasering him wasn't enough, huh? Spike beating Riley up for it wasn't enough? Dust! Everyone demands dust! LOL! Sorry to get your hopes up on that - I kinda enjoyed having Annie taser him as a bit of payback. I can assure you that Spike is not happy with his childe over that ... it was, after all, a direct countermand to his orders that Buffy and Annie not be hurt. It's not nice to defy the king. Will have more soon, Melly! Thanks for stopping in!

I haven’t been able to review because I’ve been busy trying to scrub my brain free from the images of Spike/Riley; please tell me we won’t be subjected to any more of that?!?!? I appreciated that it wasn’t really very graphic so I’ll just say EEWWW and leave it at that. I’m surprised and disappointed in Tara’s attitude toward their Buffy. Thanks for the update, more soon please.

Author's Response: Hi Melly - Oh, I had really hoped the Double-Dose of Spike would've cleansed the Riley image away ... I guess that wasn't enough. I guess we'll have to have a second double-dose of Spike soon to try and clear it all away. There will not be another scene like that between the boys - I promise. Everyone's changed, even Tara can be hardened by enough loss and death. Thanks for stopping in. Sorry for the EWWWW and mind-scrubbing that was needed. :)

Buffy really is like a fish out of water in this new environment, she judges when she shouldn’t, is surprised when her otherworldly comrades don’t make a big deal in seeing her - dismissing her presence and is shocked at the coldness aim toward her from Spike when she disrespects him in front of the others. Apparently Spike is running the place like the old Spike that first arrived to Sunnydale used to – a dictatorship and not a democracy. The others do not seem to have a problem with it, so Buffy should just watch and learn how the inner workings of Spike’s new world run before trying to jump in and take over as a slayer. On top of that, the other’s look at her and probably detest her dead counterpart for dying and leaving them alone in this hell world. So sad that Dawn is too far gone down the road of denial; it would have been nice to have Annie and Dawn bond together. When Buffy went into her comma on the TV series, Willow traveled into the recesses of her mind to pry her out, can that be done for Dawn? Or just bite her and see if her survival instincts come rushing forward. The erotic sounds emitted by Spike and Riley just shows that Buffy needs to find ear plugs for Annie and herself – either that or just stun their loud carcasses with a taser! If the demon fighters run out of food, they could always cook Bob the big bug since he already is in a pit. Boy! Buffy’s dream was hot! Two Spikes! Your muse is evil, taunting us with the Spikeyness overload!

Author's Response: Buffy is pretty turned around and, yeah, pretty judgy. Spike is definitely in charge and definitely rules with an iron fist, which we will see more of soon. if they all think her counterpart committed suicide, that would make them doubly harsh towards her - thinking she's a quitter/coward and leaving them there to fight alone. On the 'soul gaze' or whatever Willow did to Buffy to snap her out of her comma, that would be interesting to see. Maybe Annie could do it ... assuming she and Dawn are counterparts and probably share the same soul in the different dimensions. LOL! on Buffy stunning Spike and Riley with a taser! heehee! That will be the extent of the 'slash' we will get in this story. and ROFL about cooking Bob since he's already in a pit! too funny! Glad you liked Buffy's dream! We'd been without any good smut for so long, I had to have TWO Spikes to make up for it! :) Thanks so much, Vette! Your reviews are always a delight!

Personally I can see it. Riley and Spike both sharing the love and memory of Buffy fighting the good fight the only ones able to do any damage to save the others.

Author's Response: Hi Blue Eyes! I'm very glad you can see how Spike and Riley could end up together in this scenario, with her at the core of their 'relationship'. Thanks so much for stopping in!

Love how you wrote this in such detail, better than TV anymore to me. Very harrowing scenes where the lucky ones die fast and clean and the unlucky ones get to tell their stories of woe. Spike and Riley giving cold comfort to each other is unexpected and I bet your muse loves our discomfort with the idea. Did he watch Brokeback Mountain? Just curious. Buffy is not all that fair when she criticizes Spike for turning Riley, how quickly she forgets her five years of hell. So, how will Riley react to mom Buffy? Will he look at Annie and think of what could have been his future had he arrived earlier? When Spike told Buffy to not trust anyone having Riley in the equation sure amp’s up the angst. Love how creative you are at demon species - good job! Look forward to more angst filled chapters!

Author's Response: HI Vette! I have the advantage of an UNLIMITED special effects budget! LOL! I'm glad you like all the strange and wondrous demons, they were all actually quite fun to write. What will Riley's reaction be ... hmmm - keep in mind that he's soulless here, so ... you never know. I had to laugh at the Brokeback Mountain question - that does come up later! (But to answer you question - NO, I don't let my muse watch anything but Buffy and Angel DVDs ... and football matches... {sigh}) I knew everyone would *hate* it being Riley, but my muse was adamant that it be him. Yes, Buffy can get holier-than-thou on occasion, but hopefully she'll come down off her high horse and give Spike a break. Glad you're looking forward to more angst - there's a BOATLOAD of it on the way! Thanks so much, Vette! Love hearing from U always!

I haven’t been very good at reviewing this part of the series but I have been reading; I’m not sure how much longer I will though because Spike/Riley may become more than I can deal with. You’re the only writer that makes me want to cover my eyes and peek through my fingers to read – just like I use to watch horror movies as a child. It’s all because of that horrible beast you have for a muse! Thanks for the update and I’m looking forward to the next with much fear and trepidation.

Author's Response: Hi Melly! I miss your reviews! Glad you're still reading. Don't worry *too* much about what will be shown of the Riley/Spike relationship. There will be no detailed slash in here. I promise that if you keep reading, you will ultimately be happy with the outcome, but my evil muse does love to put everyone through hell to get there. One day I'm going to tie him up and force him to write something 100% angst free (or say ... 93%). He did it once ... surely he can do it again. Of course, right after that, he sent Spike to Limbo and married Buffy to Riley ... hmmm. Well, it still seems worth the risk. Hang in there!! Thanks so much for stopping in!!

The relationship between Spike and Buffy will be interesting in this reality. Good chapter

Author's Response: Hi Bridget! Glad you liked the chapter. Things are about to get very ... complicated between them. We'll find out if Buffy can figure out a way to help him, and all her friends. Spike definitely needs a cuddle.

I've actually been to Alabama and seen the Boll Weevil Monument. First thought when I saw it was gross and WTF? LOL! Glad that Buffy got the scythe. Too bad it doesn't have the healing properties. Is that pyramid crypt with the goddess in there still? Would be handy to have her summon up any potentials and maybe put the healing touch on the scythe. Could its magic be used to resurrect this dimensions Buffy? That to me would be the best thing to do. Sad how Spike made Buffy promise not to trust anyone, guess that living in hell-like lifestyle can change a person. Since the demons are burning stuff to block out the sun, Willow's spell for creating a ball of sunshine would come in handy, though Spike would have to be careful if Warren or Andrew did manage to whip up that spell. Curious....what ever happened to the Watcher's Council? Did the council ever contact Giles before all hell broke loose? Just wondering if there is another slayer in this world. So Riley is a vamp in this world? Guess he would be handy in a fight with his vamp strength. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: LOL!! You are the first person to have seen that monument! I thought it was just too funny! :) Hmmm ... not sure if the Guardian is still about, she may be. We'll see if Buffy gets a chance to check. Yes, I'm sure Buffy is running lots of things around in her head about how to fix this - I was thinking of conjuring a giant rainstorm or flood that would put out the fires and then dust the vampires in the resulting sunshine, but the question is, can she figure a way to get *his* Buffy back after all this time (or would that Buffy be too wild and crazed after 10 years to do any good) and deal with the demons too? There must certainly be another Slayer in the world - just don't know where she is at this point. And yes, Riley is a vamp - the story of his turning is in the next chapter. Thanks so much for stopping in Vette! Always love your reviews!

You know how sometimes you have favorite and not-so-favorite parts of a fic? Well, this is fast becoming one of my very, very favorite parts :-). Keep it coming!

Author's Response: Really!?? Oh, that's cool! I have to wonder what aspect makes it so appealing to you? I love the poor, tortured Spike and Buffy treating him like a friend, if nothing else. I very much enjoyed writing this alternate reality, even though I cried most of the time and wanted to cuddle Spike all the time. I only wonder because probably, whatever it is, it will probably change shortly. As always, there will be lots of ups and downs in here, so I hope you keep liking it as we go on the roller coaster ride with them. Thanks for stopping in!

Buffy’s wish world is now the reality for Annie, good thing that Buffy can fall back to her experience of her own hell to prepare her for the harsh reality they find themselves in. Spike as ever is resilient adjusting to whatever is thrown his way. Now that they have a small reprieve from being a chew toy from demons, can Buffy come up with a plan to perhaps close the hell mouth to keep it from spurting out more demons? Seems like the TPTB have again place this Buffy in a situation they want to have handled. Too bad that she doesn’t have her scythe in this world but maybe she can go looking for it to use to fight back the demon horde. Who knows, she could find a way to use the scythe to call forward any potentials left alive with the help of Warren and Andrew who is no strangers to magic or technology. Dawn is comatose, something prevalent in the Summer’s DNA when it comes to coping with reality overload. Anyways, grim circumstances all around, your muse is probably sharpening his tools of torture for future chapters. Update soon.

Author's Response: Hi Vette! Very prophetic of you to mention the scythe! Buffy will go to retrieve it in the next chapter. Whether she can find a way to 'fix' things here for them remains to be seen. Yes, my muse is definitely sharpening his torture devices - his favorite being the tear-jerker.... heehee!

First: YIKES! One demon attack after another and all with the bloodlust. Poor Annie, she really has seen hell on Earth and Buffy having to fight off demons from above, below and all around must be exhausted. Spike on the other hand seems to be rather looney toons with the “conspiracy theory” attitude. I guess that Buffy needs to reason with Spike and ask him to follow his blood and let it tell him what his mind cannot believe. Where is Dawn in all of this? Did she stay in a catatonic state and is in the basement still mumbling the words no? Anyhow, this chapter was chilling.

Author's Response: Buffy is definitely exhausted! And Annie is totally freaked out and exhausted. Spike has probably got good reason to be suspicious - he's been in a world of demons (or nearly all demons) for ten years. I do believe blood will be the determining factor - as you suggested. We'll find out where Dawn is in the next chapter. Thanks Vette! Glad it got a 'Yikes' from you! It was an action packed chapter - more of those will come. Thanks so much!! Love hearing from U!
