haha-- actually, I *hadn't* been wondering what had happened over the past 3 1/2 years. I guess i just assumed that it followed the same canon as the show-- he knows that there's a resemblance to Elizabeth, but yeras, and dreams have made him confused. Buffy, of course, knowns nothing about it, and they continue just as it was shown on the show.

At least, that's what I had assumed. I'm *assuming* that I'm wrong, considering your author's note. haha

I loved this chapter!!! I admit that I was hoping for a "William!" as Buffy throws herself to him, but I have yet to be disappointed by the way you have taken this story.

Great job!

Author's Response: lol. While I'll admit that Buffy throwing herself into Spike's arms and calling him "William" would be romantic, I just couldn't see that happening in the story. Actually, I didn't see any of this happening. I had my basic concept - her return at the beginning of Part III - and then the rest just wrote itself. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks! :-)

stoopid xander.

Author's Response: ROFL -- that's one way to describe him. ;-)

AHHHHHH OMFG HE REMEMBERS HER AND THEY HAVE FOUND ONE ANOTHER AGAIN!!!! YAY FINALLY!! i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. i wonder wat happened between them for the past 3 1/2 years, did it follow the same time line as the show, it seems like it? i cant wait to find out wat happened. im so glad that shes back and that both know what they went through more than 100 years ago. i really hope that they get a chance to talk and get together like theyre suppose to be. also i hope that things work out and that the gang leaves her alone and lets her get situated again. PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING!!!, like always to read wat happens next. THANX SOOO MUCH!!! U ROCK!!!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the review. And don't worry ... I'm working on Chapter 42 even as we speak. Shouldn't be long ... ;)
