OMG!! Wow - you are continuing to blow me away. As I was starting this chapter it suddenly occurred to me.. what's up with Angel? I hadn't thought of him until that point.. and as Spike continued on he seemed to be avoiding the topic - but I wasn't sure if you were avoiding the topic on purpose.. or because you'd just written Angel out of the story or forgot about him or something..
And then Buffy asked about Angel. and I was like.. wow. It was all on purpose. What excellent writing! You have pretty much put me directly into Buffy's shoes - as she learns things about this new world so do I, and as you perk her curiosity, you perk mine.. and as you make her drool over Spike.. well. ahem.. lol
But yes - so freaking good! And all the reminders of Giles and Dawn hurt me.. and the thought of Giles fighting against this revolution just seems so fitting. And everything is just falling into place like.. like.. Joss wrote it!! (are you Joss? *prods* are you? are you?!!?)
Anyway! ahh!! Angel is human? whothewhatfuck? You know.. this is the first time in a long time I've read a multi chaptered fic - I've just gotten bored of them lately and nothing's been original enough or well written enough to hold my attention - but this is that and more. I'm thoroughly enjoying your story and going to keep reading.. and I don't think its done yet, so if that is the case I will definitely be coming back for future chapters.
So.. keep up the amazing writing! and I'm going to continue with the reading.. and I'm sure I'll pop in again before I'm through =)

Hi - Your story got rec'ed at the livejournal community 'buffyversetop5' and so I came over to take a peak because I thought the premise was incredibly intruiging..
Well here I am 12 chapters later and don't think I'm stopping now! I just thought I'd take a minute to write a few comments before I go on to the next chapter.
First of all - like I said above, the idea for this story is fabulous! I'm a big fan of Buffyverse what ifs.. and always like to hear new and interesting ones, and this one is definitely interesting - Buffy getting trapped in the portal isn't any huge stretch, but the futuristic world you've created is amazing and I totally buy into every line you write.
And you've made Future Spike so undeniably sexy... But I won't gush on that because as you pointed out earlier.. Spike + suit = hotness, and in my opinion if you mulitply that by success and confidence, well, you get beyond hot. But we're talking about your writing here (or at least I am) and it's been really good. You've managed to keep the edge that is Spike, and yet domesticate him in a believable way. In particular I love the way you write the relationship between Mya and Spike - I could really see 'canon Spike' softening up and turning into this Spike you've created given the future circumstances you've set up.
And all the twists and interesting explanations are so good!! I really liked how you showed that Spike was married (and had me completely uncomfortable for a while) and then later on explained, oh wait, he's single now.. and then bam! he has a daughter!! And I love how in this chapter you've kept the events of Chosen and season 5 of Angel fairly close to canon (with the exception of Buffy) - I'm very impressed by the efforts you've made to tie in events from Buffy into your story - it just makes everything seem more realistic..
And well.. I should shut up now (and I really want to keep reading!) so in summary - excellent story, great idea, and I wish this happened on the show.
PS: Buffy is very in character too - can't wait to hear about Willow and Xander and the rest of the changes in the world..

So Buffy is with Faith now but only because Faith owns Spike some favors. ~ Too bad Spike can't think of something yet to help Buffy. It still doesn't look good. *sigh* I still hope it will end well; so many lost years for nothing, this would be a shame.

Thanks for the post-- I love this story. Love how Mya makes it ok for her dad to still have feelings for the Slayer. More soon, please.

LOVED the chapter! So glad Mya called Spike out. He will come up with something HE'S SPIKE!!!!
Maybe now Faith and Buffy can at least get to know each other ..
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Okay - just read the whole thing in one go... and I'm speechless. Utterly speechless. All i know is got to be one of the all-time best fics I've ever read, anywhere. And please god tell me your still planning on updating this. Because, I've just spent the better part of a hour sobbing through this thing, and if I were to find out you had abandoned this.... I honestly don't know what I'd do.

Glad to see this is still ongoing :)
Thanks for the great chapters!

I understand why the character of Spike had to quit, because of the conflict of interest given his new, nobler attitudes. But I'm sad that she won't be living with Spike anymore. Especially now that he's flirting back-- "was that kick or lick?" Very cute. More soon, please-- I've missed this story.

I have just read this, entirely enthralled, in one sitting.
You write wonderful dialogue that's true to the characters and I love the way that you've meshed humour with the gravity of Buffy's situation.
I shall look forward to more.

Spike made his stand (voiced his opinion / intention). Now lets see how Buffy is doing with Faith (getting along, arguing?) and hope that Norman will find a loophole.

Date: 11/25/2006 - 10:12 pm Title: Kick or Lick?
No! Don't make Buffy leave. Faith and Buffy as roomates isn't nearly as fun as Spike and Buffy. I think Buffy wouldn't object to either licking or kicking Spike's ass.

oh, great an update! I hope and keep my fingers crossed, that your writing flow is back. I liked that chapter and the gesture. ;:-)

Happy to see an update to this story. You haven't lost your touch.

great chapter! i love this fic, everything about it has me hooked!

Date: 11/25/2006 - 08:03 pm Title: Kick or Lick?
Great chapter I thought he was gonna kiss her...sigh.Please update soon!

Keep it coming. I'm loving the suspense. Poor Buffy, you would think the Council would intervene on her behalf. I'm a bit puzzled by Spike quitting though. it would seem he would have been a bigger help *inside* HU. Also, how is he going to support Mya? Spike, as usual, not using his head when Buffy's around.

Date: 10/22/2006 - 07:30 am Title: Crater of Embarrassment
So Buffy's going to stay at Faith's? It is a pity she can't stay with Spike. Just when things began to get more interesting between them=) Can't wait for the next chapter!! Good work;)

Date: 10/22/2006 - 07:29 am Title: Crater of Embarrassment
Spike is quitting.. then he can't be forced to work against Buffy... but he won't get news from H.U. ah well and Buffy will be taken away? That's not good either. Mmm Faith? Will she do it for another slayer sister? looking forward to read what she'll do.

Date: 10/21/2006 - 11:36 pm Title: Crater of Embarrassment
Mr Impetuous does it again! I so hate to see her have to leave the confines of Spike's house-- and just when it was about to get interesting between the two of them. I hope Spike goes back to his job and thinks this one through a bit. Looking forward to your next chapter!

Date: 10/21/2006 - 07:23 pm Title: Crater of Embarrassment
You got me with the "Buffy and Norman almost have an illicit affair." That wasn't very nice of you. ;) *pouts* I don't want Buffy to leave Spike's. Can Spike stay at Faith's too?
