"Also, I seriously doubt he was all about the mole checking. lol."
You serious?! I *so* would've checked them all! At least just out of curiosity.
You know, if there's something that you often notice in a person, and even if you haven't seen/remembered it for a long time, if you saw it again, it could suddenly just pop out of your memory and everything would piece together.
But I realize that if Spike found out that Buffster is Elizabeth, you wouldn't exactly be able to set the III part of your story in 5th/6th season.
P.S. I think I saw that Buffy's real name is Elizabeth on Wikipedia, and also heard it somewhere a long time ago.
Author's Response: On Wikipedia her name is listed as Buffy Anne Summers. ;-) I think what you read is probably a creation of fandom.
I've known my husband for seven years, and I would not be able to tell you how many moles he has on his body, where they are, or what they look like. If I went a century without seeing him, I would still love him; but I seriously doubt I would remember exactly what he looked like without the aid of a photograph. :shrug: So, I guess we're just going to have to disagree about that.

Man to be there in that moment Spike realizes the woman the same woman he has always loved is the same girl returning to him alive and in the current time. How will they both deal? How do you wrap your mind around the fact the girl you loved in your former life is the girl in the future you tried to hate. This is just too good it is like I am on the edge of a cliff here hanging on your next words to come.
Author's Response: The next chapter should come soon, and I hope you like it as much. Thank you so much for taking the time to review this one. :-)

Fabulously written and what a entrance for Buffy to make in coming back. Then the part where she cannot look at him and him seeing the bracelet and the whole thing coming together all at once was just phenomenal. I hope your muse sticks because I am enjoying the ride here I can tell you.

How very intriguing. You've taken us to Season 5, and given us shades of early, early Season 6 - where by this time Spike is chipped and unrequitedly loving Buffy - and she returns (this time) from the past ...... plonk! You finished Book II with vampire Spike seeing Buffy in Sunnydale for the first time and recognising her...... the likeness to his girl of over a century and his lifetime ago - and acting viciously as a result. Now, cut to this opener of Book III and she looks upon him as Elizabeth of just yesterday when she accepted his proposal, and he looks upon her as again, William in love, but now with all of Spike's vampiric existence within his tortured psyche, as once again he sees the bracelet ......
And, just as in Season 6, those damned Scoobies spoil a pivotal moment between William and Elizabeth, Spike and Buffy.
A wonderful opener, setting us off-tangent right from the start albeit with familiar scenes adding to the mix. But amid the mayhem they still see each other. The Spike-hating Buffy who disappeared is not of the same mind as this Buffy who has returned. This lovelorn vampire still retains his demonic edge: will he relish the thought that his natural enemy now has recall of a completely different him, of William?
Fantastic.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :-) I had a lot of people (including my beta) tell me how shocked they were that I jumped ahead so far at the beginning of Part III. I think most people expected me to continue the story from 1997. And the story will offer some explanations of what happened during that time, but they'll unfold slowly over the course of the next few chapters.

It was a so cool how you made Buffy blink and wish she could get back into the dream. Spike and Dawns easy relationship was nice too in how they just like one another. I think Spike taking off is for the best since they both need to think.
Great update made me hungry for more.

Sooooooooooooooooo
Is the engagement back on?
Sorry I could not resist myself there :D
So much packed into the punch of her returning in this chap. Spikes heart and mind are probably in a tornado right now and Buffy will not know what to expect out of Spike now once she gets the feeling back in her legs. He's not her Spike of the past now or her lover William anymore he's a mix of the two. Plus will he flat out hate or reject her now knowing she must have reconized him in the past and had a romance with him anyways. There is a lot of ways to looking at this. This has blown me ut of the water and I am only reading it.
Author's Response: ROFL. You would be the one to ask that question! Thanks for reviewing. :-D

There is like a new upday everyday toFtTP and I am just so enjoying it.
Spike now knows who she is so will he blame her or will he come back for her since his invite to the house is now open he can come back at anytime? He's going to want and need to speak with her. He will need her now more then ever before.
Author's Response: Well, I can't promise that I will keep updating so rapidly. I'm writing by the seat of my pants, and it just so happened that my Muse was very good to me this week. Still, if things continue in this manner, the next chapter will be ready very soon. I'm glad to hear that you're looking forward to it. Thank you for the review! :-)

Could she not look at him because he was no longer her William or because she could not face Spike and having him know Elizabeth was her?
So many questions are flying in my mind right now and the biggest one is when can we get more?
I know I know great writing takes time but can we just chain you to a laptop?
Author's Response: lol. You can try, I guess. But I'm a good escape artist. I promise, though, that I am working on the next chapter now. If the Muse cooperates, it won't be long at all ...

Oh, I like.
I was wondering, a bit, how the S2-present time would go... but it makes perfect sense that it would weave into canon, just as Spike's history did. Oh, some things were different, like the replacement of Buffy for Cecily, but certain larger events like William's turning and Slayer-killing, and his coming to Sunnydale, seem to have been set in history. I like that, it's like a softer Twelve Monkeys sort of approach to time travel; the past can stretch, but only so far.
Aside from the obvious ways it Buffy's echoes her resurrection experience, I liked the mention of how Buffy associated William with warmth and safety. It does leave me a tiny but apprehensive about how closely events of this future will echo S6...
That said, I hadn't realized you were getting criticisms on your plot, and I wanted to say, whatever they were, I don't share them. No, I wasn't commenting, but that had far more to do with the "1000+ comments" thing than the "break from the romance" thing. And while a part of me hoped for and almost expected Buffy to return to 1880 – which is a compliment, because I almost expect you to surprise us – I was by no means disappointed that she didn't.
FtTP has an elegant structure to it and a satisfying internal logic, as well as a heart-tugging story. I suspect some commenters meant to express how affected they were, in saying they wanted this or that to happen. (I've been known to leave the less wordy, "OMG, do this!" sort of review to show how a story has made me feel, and I never expect the author to actually do it.) Others, well, probably shouldn't be reading a novel-length fic, if they require instant gratification. *g*
Thank you for this story, it is a treasure.
Author's Response: As an author, it's always great to have people review when they read, otherwise, it's hard to know whether anyone *is* reading, lol. But it wasn't just the drop off in reviews I was speaking of ... it was more that some of the ones I was receiving were along the lines of "skip this part" "it's dry!" "it's not spuffy; make it spuffy!" etc, etc. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate the feedback or that the readers aren't entitled to their opinions, because they are. And I want to hear what everyone thinks whether they enjoyed it or not. But I have to admit, there were times there when I thought I had very few readers who were actually enjoying Part II. It's great to hear that this was not the case. Thank you for letting me know that you did, and that you are enjoying the beginnings of Part III as well. :-)

Buffy is a little hazy with the time jump and and everything and Spike....well he just had the shock of his unlife and me I'm sittin pretty reading the best story around.
I do have a question though wouldn't he know the outfit she went missing in i mean he went looking for her you think it be ingrained into his head but I cant remeber if he saw her in thar or not.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it so well. Thank you! :-)
Oh ... and in regards to the last question ... a lot will be explained in the next few chapters. I can't say how ... but it will come up.

reading this and reading it again and again and that look he gave to Buffy that Dawn noticed had to be much like a cat who got the cream. Yes there is shock there but in that moment he found his Elizabeth again and knows exactly who she is and whatever happens that in itself is just hot. Now he has his in.
