Summary: A sequel to Borrowed Time. In this version of events Joyce survived, Buffy and Spike had a substantially healthier relationship and his motivation for getting the soul was different, and Tara was not anywhere near the house when shots were fired. Also the Bringers started their potential hunting early and the activation spell was cast over the summer to protect the girls who don’t show up on Council radar. So what happens when the lost potentials start popping up, and what is The First up to?
In this installment we meet a new slayer, Spike observes how much changed in his absence, and Buffy dreams. R for now. Eventually NC-17.

I really enjoyed this series. I liked that just having Joyce around didn't change things too drastically but enough that it made the last two seasons run smoother. You really did an amazing job on this story. You didn't make Spike too soft or Buffy too much of a bitch. It was well balanced and I liked the redeeming of Faith too, though her relationship with Willow didn't do much for me. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I really did thoroughly enjoy it.
