Thanks for the reviews...
When I read them, I realized that you guys were looking for something long and angsty in which everything would work out and Buffy & Spike would live happily ever after. I also realize that it would be a great plot for a story.. unfortunately, that isn't the plot for this story. It is a sad ending, but NOT for reasons that you might think and i don't want to spoil it for you.
i just ask that you read it if you think you can take it.
At the end, I added the song that this story was inspired by and hopefully, you'll see the connection.

Here's part one of the alternate ending! There should only be 1 or 2 more chapters after this and the ending will be fairly happy.
