teehee, this was great. I was tearing up a little at the beginning of this one, with the 'i hurt the girl' remark, that just brings back bad memories of poor crazy basement spike. But you fixed it. Nice one!
And my holiday was great!
Author's Response: Hi there! So glad that you had a good holiday and delighted that you liked the chapter :) Thank you so much for letting me know.

AWWWW!!, that was a lovely ending. You fixed up all the loose ends very nicely. I just love the banter between angel and spike in this last chap, I could imagine it in the show.
Mabel this was a truly great fic, I loved every minute, as I do with all you're writing. Buffy and Spike can be a challenging couple to get right but you do every time.
This was fantasticly awesome, lol, and I cant think of anything else to say about it, lol.
Looking forward to the next one. Yay! Congratulations on finishing this one!
love Puska *hugs*
Author's Response: You say that you can't think of anything else to say about it - but what you did say really made my day. Thank you so much. Won't keep you waiting too long for the next one. Really appreciated all of your reviews! See you with Parallel Lives! *big hugs*
Summary: This was originally written for the LJ TamingTheMuse Community
for prompt #87: Dreams. It's Spuffy, so I thought it would be good to
post it here. Almost all of the dialog in the piece below is taken
directly from S6: After Life and S7: Chosen.

I like this one. I like how Spike's looking after Buffy, even though he knows she's dangerous. Its a nice reversal of their roles. Love it!
*hugs* hope you're mood improves :)
Summary: Sequel to Changing Lives - Can be read as stand alone but you'll have missed out on a good fic if you don't read CL! lol! Life is good for Spike Norman - too good maybe? A strange encounter leads to a race against time to save Spike's life. (not all human - welcome to the Mabelverse!) The Spike/other is very temporary and probably not what you expect! NOMINATED MOST ORIGINAL PLOT AT THE SPUFFY AWARDS Thanks to whoever nommed it :)
