I loved the father-son talk and how Spike called him William. He is another William suffering for love isn’t he? Father and son are both the sweetest thangs!! Thanks for another wonderful update. More soon please.
Author's Response: Yes, Billy is definitely William at heart. I've considered having him insist on being called William later when he's older, but not sure if I'll do that or not. I'll just have to see how it works out. The characters do seem to take on a life of their own, so we'll see where the sweet boy goes with that as he gets older. Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in!! Love hearing from you, Melly!

Poor sweet Billy. Such a touching father/son moment. And I love Billy for calling out Spike. Totally how it would have gone. Good thing Buffy and Spike didn't court over email! Nice to see a little normal growing-pains type heart ache. Not actual the world may end heart break. Update soon!
Author's Response: HI BR! Yeah, tears like that are a welcome relief. Poor, sweet Billy. I love Spike trying to be the guiding hand and Billy's intuition about what his father would've done in his place. Poor Spike - forever Love's Bitch. :D Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in!

Love the quidnon demon. I know that's spelled wrong, but you know what I'm talking about. She will likely be a thorn in their side until the clan can convince them it's in their best interest to move out. I also love the whole slayer Olympics. A shame we didn't get to live through more of it. Pretty cool to watch Spike and Buffy go at it old school. Also a good bit of wisdom by whoever was manning the cameras. Figures Buffy would rather take her victory lap in the dark than infront of the crowd. :) Pretty awesome. Have a good time in outer Mongolia. :)
Author's Response: Hi BR! Sorry I didn't write more detail of the Slayer Olympics, my muse just really had that one event burning in my mind. Maybe next time we can see more of the other events. It'll be fun to see Spike and Buffy dealing with their new neighbors ... they'll show up from time to time as we go along. Outer Mongolia was something else! I don't recall dial-up being THAT slow; I could barely retrieve emails. I was right in thinking there would be no way to post anything from there. Home now though ... how did we live without high-speed wi-fi before? :D Thanks for reading and stopping in!

I wonder if Samantha knew that her neighbor may have been a Quidnuncious Demon too?! Gladys Kravitz was the epitome of the nosey neighbor – what a brilliant idea to give Buffy her very own version!! I’m very glad that the Olympics were successful and they worked out a way for Bess to compete. Whose idea was it to turn off the cameras before Spike and Buffy “went for the gold”?!?! Thanks for another fun update! More soon please.
Author's Response: Heehee! I wonder! Buffy and Spike should have a wonderful time dealing with their new neighbors. :) I can assure you that it was not *my* idea to turn off the cameras before Spike and Buffy got to the good stuff - maybe Giles. He really needs to loosen up! :D Thanks for reading and stopping in, Melly! Love hearing from you!

Lovely little reunion. Good to see some fun breaking into the drama. And they've still got the scroll! Very excited by that. Update soon!
Author's Response: Yay for still having the scroll!!! At least something good has come from all this agony!! There will be more fun on the way, too - a few tears, but mostly fun. Finally. :D Thanks for reading and stopping in, BR!

Loved the picture of the “big girl’s toy” at the beginning of this chapter!! Yes I’ve meet guys like Sammy. Being born and raised in Alabama if I’m not related to them I at least went to school with them!! My brother and cousins had fast cars and taught me how to drive them so I completely understand the love fest over Darth Vader!! You’re absolutely correct about how they can be the perfect southern gentlemen – especially when they’re around anyone’s mama!! Thanks for such a fun update! More soon please.
Author's Response: Hey Melly!! Oh, I couldn't resist putting the big girl's toy picture at the beginning! Squeee! Love that picture ... that whole photo-shoot! Oh yes, there is no misbehaving around someone's mama for a southern boy!! They know how to spell R-E-S-P-E-C-T ... even as they're spittin' ta-back-y. heehee! More fun on the way ... Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in! :)

At least they've made peace with each other. Always better to hit all the bad news with a united front. And a visit from Sue Ann, could only be good. At least for a little while. Update soon!
Author's Response: Hi BR! Yes, the two of them working together is always the best way to go. A visit from Sue-Ann will be fun ... mostly. Got more for ya! Thanks, as always, for reading and stopping in!
Author's Response: ps: I keep forgetting to post this on the chapter, but I got a 'history' and 'universe map' done, per our other convos here. Sooner or later, I'll remember to post it on one of the chapters. It's on my website, here is the direct link to that page: http://www.growingguides.com/buffy/history.htm It'll be a WIP pretty much until this story comes to an end. There's a warning for spoilers, but as along as you're up to date with what's posted, you'll be good. TA!

It was very difficult to read this chapter with all the wonderfully distracting pictures!! The photos and the Spuffy love-fest has resulted in an unbearable increase in the room’s temperature so excuse me while I go and crank up the air conditioner…. I’m back now and with a request for both Cordy and Angel to have their collective behinds kicked! I don’t care if they don’t remember what happened in the Gift-less Verse they have no doubt done something to deserve having the PTB or Buffy and Spike kick issue a severe chastisement!! Thanks for another wonderful update. More soon please.
Author's Response: Heehee! Sorry, Melly, for increasing your electric bill! :) Spike does have a habit of increasing the ambient temp, despite being a vamp! ;-) I don't know what my muse has in mind for Angel and Cordy, but he will definitely take your views under advisement. heehee! Thanks for reading and always stopping in!

I am so glad that Spike was able to convince her that there was nothing to be guilty for. On a side note I would like to visit that doll store of the many Spikes. But back to the story I still wonder about the other diminsion and hope to hear what took place there.
Author's Response: Hi Blue Eyes! I promise we will check in on the other dimension and see how things turned out there - what Spike did to change things for everyone. It will be posted as a separate story and probably not until this one is completely, mainly due to my time constraints. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in!
Date: 07/15/2012 - 05:40 am Title: Fallen
All good things to know. Glad he got though to her. Always seemed like those things were not unforgivable sins. They've got the love, after all. And Spike and Xander on a mission. Hmmm... Does this involve breakfast pastries? That could be fun. Update soon!
Author's Response: I think the Xander/Spike mission turned out pretty fun, hopefully good for some laughs. You let me know what you think when we get there. You're right, of course, what happened to Buffy wasn't unforgivable by anyone except herself. She's way to hard on herself, just as Spike is often too hard on himself. Thanks much for reading and stopping in, BR!

I'm glad that things are better for Buffy now but...what about Cordy? I still think she needs to have her __ kicked good and proper!
Author's Response: That's two votes (at least) for Cordy getting her ass kicked. I will definitely have my muse take it under advisement. :) Thanks so much for reading and stopping in, Sibb!

Of course Spike, with his insight and boundless love for Buffy, was able to once again come to the rescue. Good to know that the heavy duty angst is pretty much over with, although now your comment has me worried about our Spuffy couple in the Gift-less universe. Thanks for posting another great update so quickly. More soon please.
Author's Response: Hi Melly! Yes, Spike will always find a way to get reach Buffy and help her back from the brink. I can assure you that there will be angst in the Gifl-less!Spike's life - there is just no way around it. I will probably wait until this story is over to start posting that, however. Mostly because of time limitations and also to have something as a 'filler' between 'seasons' as I have nothing started at all for Unexpected after this story, and that is unusual. Usually by now, I've already got a few chapters of the next installment done, but I have zero done. Anyway, I promise we will find out what tortures Gift-less!Spike will face and how it works out for him. Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in! Love hearing from you!
Date: 07/13/2012 - 04:01 am Title: Fix You
So glad Spike doesn't know how to not try. Gonna save his woman even if it kills him. :) Hopefully, this will save them both. Baby steps, even though theirs are quite a bit more violent than most. :) And I love Buffyland. Such a marvelous concept. Anya should open up one of those shops for real. I think I would like a rock and roll Spike and an original William. Variety is the spice of life! Update soon!
Author's Response: Hi BR! Oh, I love that 'Spike doesn't know how to not try'! You are so right! Glad you loved Buffyland. Maybe Anya and Warren could go into business together to make and sell Spike-bots and William-bots. And yes, I agree - I'd need one of each and lots of 'personas'! I'm already missing William, even though I love Spike. Got your update for ya! :)

Buffyland?!?!?!! What a brilliant idea! I loved Angelpie as the gate attendant sitting on that throne! The shops on Main Street were perfect and having Anya as the shopkeeper in the Pick Your Pleasure Shop was another genius idea; although my brain almost fried from the image overload caused by a shop full of Spikes - but in a good way of course! Thanks for such a gut-wrenching yet humorous update, more soon please!
Author's Response: Heeehee! Hi Melly!! I was just trying to think, what would the inside of Buffy's mind look like and ... well, Buffyland! came out! Glad you like! And yes, that Pick Your Pleasure store ... OMG! I want the address to that! Look out credit limits! Didn't you love Angelpie as the gate-keeper!? A protective lion wrapped up inside a cute little kitten. :) And, of course, she would have a thorn! Glad you enjoyed the ride! Will try to have more maybe Friday if I can, if not then Saturday. Thanks so much, Melly! Love hearing from you!
Author's Response: thorn ... throne ... you know what I mean, I hope ... need a beta for review replies... :)

Buffy is traumatized now that things have been set to rights. Annie has her legs, Angel is with Cordelia, but what about the scroll that they took from the giftless world? Will she overcome her fears with Spike's help? Will they find the gem they need for Bess?
Author's Response: oooooo - you have zeroed in on the one big question that I'm not sure anyone else has asked about: The scroll from the Gift-less world.... Excellent! Before we get to that, first we need to find out if Spike can get her out of this self-destructive behavior and get to the bottom of it. We'll be exploring Buffy's sub-conscious coming up ... gonna be a crazy ride. Thanks so much for reading - always love your reviews!

Back to reading the story, it is really action filled and full of angst! Buffy should never die at the hands of Cordelia, Cordy needs to die! LOL!
Author's Response: Vette!!! You're back!!!!!!!!!! Yay! The angst involving the kids is pretty much over ... well, there will be a bit later, but not because they're hurt or anything like that - just normal, everyday angst. Buffy dying at the hands of Cordy is way bad. She's survived every baddie in the universe for Cordy to kill her?!?! That's just wrong! So glad you're back! Always love your reviews!

“No — I’ve never hated you. I’ve been annoyed with you, cross with you, mad as hell with you. I’ve wanted to throttle you several times, and there was once or twice I desperately wanted to kill you, but I’ve never hated you.” -- Indeed, the definition of soul mates. Glad she's finally opening up, even if she's not sure what she's opening. Loved her freaking out with the bats. An interesting problem, and no easy solution, and those kids will forever have the "Batty Mom." Least their dad is still cool. :) And after all that reset, I wonder what happened to the scroll that Annie brought back with her? Things are better, but Buffy sure isn't. Can't wait to see what happens next! Update soon!
(Also, I think it would be quite awesome for you to put together the whole Spuffy tree on a website. So many things to keep track of here. :))
Author's Response: Hi BR! I'm so glad you liked that line! I was really pleased with it myself- it sounded so perfectly Spike when it came out of my muse's evil brain. I'm seeing Dani having to beat someone up in the future for calling her mom 'batty' ... :) And yes, they still have the coolest dad! I think all their friends will be wanting to do sleep-overs at the Weckerly's as they get older! :P Oooo!! And you picked up on the other main point of this whole story : THE SCROLL! Where is the scroll?! Did it go back? Can Buffy and Spike find it by delving into Buffy's sub-conscious? We will find out - it might take a couple of chapters to get through it all.
I will definitely work on a page with all the universes we've covered and all the key dates, events, birthdates, full names, etc. of everyone on it. I couldn't do it before this re-set because the one I drew had that spoiler in it showing the redo that Gift-less!Spike will get. I also promise to show what happened there. I've written it as a kind of 'crossover' story, so anyone can read it, although they won't have all the background loyal Unexpected readers will have, it will be enough to be understandable. I won't start posting that for a little while, though. It's not gonna be super long, maybe 10-12 chapters - I already have an epic, don't need another! :)
Thanks BR! Awesome review! Love that you asked about the Gem!

I don’t know if I can handle them having trouble in their relationship. The worry over their relationship falling apart will definitely be more than I can take so I hope you make this better soon. Thanks for the long update, more soon please.
Author's Response: Hi Melly! Spike won't let up on this, even though Buffy will try to get out of sharing (again). There will be tears, but things will start to heal for her and between them soon, so don't fret. There's fun to be had later, so good things to look forward to - FINALLY! :)

I am so glad that it worked or is it a dream no can't be a dream because its not perfect Buffy has residual feelings. I can't help but wonder about the Gift-less dimension turned out, does that Spike remember anything or is he like this Buffy with a feeling but not able to understand.
Author's Response: Hi Blue Eyes! I can assure you it was NOT a dream. I like using dreams, but I think I always tell you its a dream (before or after) or at least do something outrageous that allows you to figure it out. Going through a whole story and having it be a dream at the end is not something that you'll find I do, just 'cos I hate that when I'm reading a story. We will find out what happened in the Gift-less dimension with that Spike later, I promise. We'll also find out why Buffy still has these strange fears and feelings when no one else does, very soon. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you!

Well, what other dimensions have we visited so far? Time to start with a new pair of Spuffy? Or maybe the combination of ingestion and slayer blood is just what the spooky time-travel jello needs. Just gonna have to trust you in your next update. This whole world needs a reset! Update soon!
Author's Response: Hi BR! I actually had to make a drawing of the different dimensions we've visited so I could keep them straight! I'll probably turn it, along with the history of birth dates and stuff, into a web page and link to it on the stories in the future. But, no, not time for a new Spuffy yet - but that day will come eventually. Got ya an update, so you can see, at least partly, what happened. More of exactly what happened will come out as we go along. Thanks so much - love hearing from you!

I hope when this is over that Wolfram & Hart b i t c h slip Cordelia, Since I know Buffy is too good to do so, may she reap what she sows and it would be great if Angel does return and dumps her or something equally cruel.
Author's Response: Hi Blue Eyes! LOL! Why do I think that W&H may try to use Cordy to get Angel to come work for them at some point? I don't know for sure - I haven't really had any clues on that from my muse, it's just a guess for one day. Will Angel ever leave her? Hmmmm ... never know!

Cordelia never ever thinks of anyone else but herself does she--true to form once again! I love all the regular updates. They help keep us readers from completely falling apart over these cliff-hangers!
Author's Response: Glad you thought Cordy is acting like ... well, Cordy! I kinda liked her better as the bit-ca that she was in HS rather than the 'higher-being' thing that she became in Angel canon, so I'm keeping her that way. She's way more fun and interesting and another wild-card to go with Angel. I do try to update pretty frequently - I know how it is to read and have to wait a long time for an update - I hate it, so I try not to make anyone wait too long! Thanks Sibb! Love hearing from you!

“Cordy must die, slowly and painfully” aside from that mantra running through my head I’m totally speechless at the moment. Thanks (?!?) for what may be the best, most gut-wrenching cliffhanger of an update yet, more soon please.
Author's Response: LOL! No one has any sympathy for Cordy ... :) So glad I'm able to wrench your guts and leave you hanging off the cliff! What an awesome compliment!! Thanks so much, Melly! Got more for you - gut wrenching may not be over, but most of the evil cliffies are, I think. :)

Once again I am left in awe of the evilness of you and your muse!! Buffy having to leave William there just when he remembers that he’s Spike!!! At least if the Reds capture this Spike he’ll have the Gem to help keep him from dusting. Right? You won’t make him somehow lose possession of it will you?!?! Thanks for another great update, more soon please.
Author's Response: Hi Melly! I can assure you that our Spike will not lose the Gem this time, so the chances are he will not dust. Poor Buffy! Having to leave him! Gift-less!Spike better have what it takes to fix this. We'll find out soon! Thanks so much, Melly, always love hearing from U!

I just hope he's busting out some extra awesome because of the time he spent all William-y. And that damn gem better be working double time! Got to believe in a happy way out of all this... Somewhere in the future. Update soon!
Author's Response: HI BR! Thank goodness he has the Gem, at least! And yeah, I think our Spike will be ready for a good brawl now that he's back. The end, as they say, is near. There's actually much more to the story, but the end of the horrible, horrible angst is near - within a few chapters. That's near, right? :) Thanks again - always love hearing from U!
