The victim of a spell gone awry, Buffy finds herself trapped in Victorian London, where she meets a man surprisingly familiar to her. 
I loved part 2...you couldn't have written it better. I actually wanted to see some more but going right into 1997 is fine too. The million dollar question is will she ever remember him...i mean i don't see how she can unless someone actually comes forward and says 'hey your alternative reality self went back into the past and fell in love with william and thats why he is so drawn to you'. I mean she's not going to refall into the portal again....is she? Hmm....it would be like the never ending story...hehe
Also i'm a bit interested on how you'll alter the episode from season 2 and beyond. Its got to be different in some way....I mean Spike is going to have to come out of denial sometime and crack open his eyes and see that this girl is HIS girl.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you! :-D
ohhh...so everyone thinks she was in hell...all but Spike. He must be utterly confused at the moment...everything now can fit together about Elizabeths strange behavior of knowing things like cars and stuff and why he was now in love with Buffy. I really wanted him to stay in the house but after seeing what he saw i guess he would leave before he strangled all the Scoobies.
And i like how he did the same reaction he did after Buffy came back to life in 'Afterlife'. I guess it fits the story since he's reacting to see a dead woman that he thought he would never see again. Spike must be mad at Buffy for not telling him the truth about who she really was back in the 1800s. But then again he wouldn't have really believed her until now.
Will William now reappear from deep inside Spike? Does he stll have that ring that was for Elizabeth?
Author's Response: lol. I'm afraid of answering your comment for fear I'll accidentally give away part of the plot. So, I'll just say thanks for reading and reviewing! :-)
consequences with magic are never good. i wonder what it will be...be a demon that wants to kill Buffy like in Afterlife or something worse?
Grrr on Xander...not my favorite guy at the moment. He loves to keep going back to the Spike issue and disinvite him into the house. Little does he know that Spike probably doesn't want to be around Buffy for a while away. I bet Spike can't even look at her.
Buffy better not wash her neck either. I have a feeling she wants to treasure Williams mark.
And lastly, Angel? Oh god...why do i feel that is not going to just make matters worse--for Buffy and Spike. Darn Willow she always does the wrong things at the wrong times. If the Scoobies never did that spell Elizabeth would have been with William forever.
Author's Response: Willow and Xander have the best of intentions, of course; but you know what they say the road to hell is paved with ... As for Angel, well, we'll just have to see where that goes. Thanks for the review! :)
uh-oh...angel cakes is coming. I know Willow just wants to help but i think she doesn't understand that Angel is in the past...and that Buffy and him have two different lives and when they broke up they gave up all the rights of being part of these type of situations. (Like you made Xander say in this chapter) I just think that Willow is trying to be the puppet master of Buffy and Angel when in fact she should just stay out of it. I hope Buffy gets to say that to Willow at ome point of your story (or maybe Giles say it) because i always wanted her to say it in the real show.
I'm glad Dawn is pushing Spike in to thinking maybe Buffy/ Elizabeth wasn't the 'lying bitch'. And once he talks to her he'll realize that she never wanted to leave William. She probably feels extremely guilty now for seeing that her William was turned into a vampire and had to go through everything for the sake of his pain of losing her.
Author's Response: Willow had only the best intentions when calling Angel, but you know what they say the road to hell is paved with ... Thanks for the review! :-)
Angel is evil!!! Evil soulful vampire! He still has a little bit of Angelus in him after all.
What is wrong with Buffy? Why does she want to avoid Spike? I mean the root of Spike is William....i mean if they have a very long talk and get everything out in the open she would see the layers of old evil Spike are trying to go away and he is truely William at heart. He's a shy, sensitive, and caring man.
Now if Angel tells Spike that she went through a 'terrible' experience he's going to be heartbroken. And i think Spike already had his fair share of misery for an unlifetime. I want Spike to fight for her...FIght! Fight! Fight! Or Buffy needs to fight for Spikes forgiveness. Want Spike to bash Angel's head in and tell Buffy that Angel made him a monster. And also that Angel's soul is like a serial killer being in prison...prison being the soul of course.
Anyway, thanks for update. Can't wait to see what you have in store next time. Hopefully we'll learn soon....maybe?
Author's Response: I had this three-paragraph, in-depth response to your review all written out ... and then I had to delete it for fear that I might give something away. So, I'll just say "thank you very much for the nice review", and leave it at that. :-)
Loved it! I knew Buffy was going to run away from him (I guess we're lucky you didn't make her punch him in the nose and instead have her say she's sorry).
Now that everyone is starting to know...Tara...Giles...I wonder how they will influence Buffy and her choices regarding Spike. I feel Giles will be all negative but Tara may think differently and side with Dawn about William and Spike being one of the same. I'm afraid too of what Spike will now do now after what they did together. I mean for Spike it probably feels like a thousand knives piercing his body because the pain that he feels is so deep.
I'm was wondering also if you'd make Buffy ask about being sent back in time to William. I would love to see William again and see them get married but I think Buffy needs to stick it out being in her own time--dealing with the consequences. And learn a lesson in love and fate.
Lovely fashback too...nice wrap up to the chapter. William is such a passionate man...sigh....
And this line: “A hundred bloody years…over a hundred…with all the things I did…and you were all I could think about.” got me thinking...did Buffy take the meaning of his words the wrong way. I mean we (the readers) know he was in pain for losing her and he thought of her often. But I'm wondering if Buffy mistook his meaning for something bad. That not only it was her fault for Williams death but for all the lives that he took for when he was turned into a vampire. If thats the case...I'd understand why she feels like she's in hell.
Author's Response: Yes, I'm sure that you're right. Buffy did misconstrue Spike's words as an indication that she is to blame for at least part of the havoc he has wreaked in his life as a vampire. She has a lot of guilt and confusion to wade through before she's ready to accept that he and William are the same man, but she will get there eventually. Thank you so much for the review. :)
oh i think i know what the secret is...hehe...but i'll keep my guess to myself so i don't spoil anything if I may be correct. Thanks for updating. When i saw this in 'recently added' i went all 'yayyy'. And i can't wait to see you update Tailored Encounters too. :)
Author's Response: Giggles, ssshhhhhh, there's a few I'm sure haven't guessed, but well, I think its obvious, giggles again. Glad you enjoyed the chappys hon and I'll try and update TE soon as well. THanks hon. Kisses.
i enjoyed that very much. thank you for that giggly chapter.
Author's Response: You are very Welcome!!!! xx
there has to be a some way out of this for Buffy...i mean...i think its a long shot but that demon made a deal with Elizabeth and not Buffy...that demon may do something next to worse than death--take elizabeth's memories.
