I think this is my favourite of your fics (that I've read so far). Really enjoyed reading it, from the ghost-Spike to the dreams of the murders to present day Spike and Buffy. I'm glad they got their happy ending!

Author's Response: Thanks, Xaph! :D I think this is my favorite that I've done too. I had to give them a happy ending after all of the badness lol Thanks for reading, reviewing, and liking it! *hugs*

I've just read this all through in one go and wow - I'm loving it. Your writing is fantastic, and this is a very orignal plot.

Gah, cliffhanger! I hope Spike will be all right, and poor Elizabeth. I did want to mention that I liked how in the past couple of chapters we've seen the separation completely from her PoV, it makes you empathise with her missing Will even more.

Looking forward to the next chapter :)

Author's Response: I am so very glad you mentioned this. One of the things I had thought about changing is that we never really know very much about what Will's doing in this part. But I wasn't really writing about the "case", I was writing about the relationship. If that makes sense.

Aww, great chapter. Glad that they finally let Beth in to see him... wonder if he'll start calling her Buffy now?

Loved the update :)

Author's Response: Rules are made to be broken. In my opinion. Especially ones that should really be situational anyway, but often aren't because establishment has no trust in the judgement of the people actually doing the job. End rant. :) Glad you like the story!!

Date: 06/15/2009 Title: Chapter 18: Come Monday

Not the way I was expecting Beth to tell him, but it worked... except that now, Spike's put his foot in it. Ah well, I'm sure everything will sort itself out.

Glad to see Spike and his dad getting along, even if the real "big" issues haven't been tackled yet.

Still really enjoying this fic, and looking forward to more :)

I'm not sure whether you still check reviews from this site, or whether you'll see this, but I feel that I have to review and let you know how much I loved reading this story.

Wow. Incredibly well-written and so detailed, and so much heart-wrenching emotion. I could barely read the last couple of chapters because of the tears blurring my eyes.

I loved the supernatural elements, though I was glad that they did not overwhelm the plot. The love story between William and Elizabeth was so beautiful, a natural progression and it was a delight to read.

I was sad to see no epilogue, but the story ended on such a hopeful note that its lack doesn't matter all that much (though if you were to see this, and one day return to upload the epilogue, that would be wonderful.)

Again... a fantastic story and definitely one of the best I've read. Thank you for such a great read.

Author's Response: Oh my goodness thank you for such a lovely review! How funny, I rarely check the email attached to this account anymore and had this delightful surprise waiting for me today : ) I\'m so happy to hear that you were moved by the story! I have felt so guilty for abandoning this fic, but truthfully I am in the process of turning Dreamtime into an original novel and it has been difficult getting back to the Spuffy version. The epilogue is complete, but I have not been satisfied enough with it to post it. I will try to keep working on it though. Thank you again for your sweet response! It\'s always so motivating to hear that people are still interested in this story : )

Just caught up on the last couple of chapters. Really enjoying the fic, especially how you're building up the relationship between Spike and Buffy.

That last part of this chapter was a shock, really looking forward to finding out what happens next :)

Great chapter, Angel doesn't like the fact that Spike upstaged him, huh?

I like that they've moved to the Hyperion and the crew are living there too... opportunity for some shenanigans perhaps?

Looking forward to more ^_^

I'm not the biggest Twilight fan (don't really like it, to be honest!) but your summary intrigued me and I was curious to see how a Buffy/Twilight crossover would work.

Well, you've got me hooked on your story :D Very interesting how you've worked the slayer mythology around the Twilight-verse, and so far you seem to have taken some of the things I really hate about Twilight and altered them so I don't mind them so much.

Interesting to see Oz and Wes turn up at the end there... wonder what's going on? Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: I am so glad you like espacially since you don't like twilight. I never liked how whiny Bella was, my intention for this storie is to make her stronger. Thanks for your wonderful review.

Summary: When you lose the love of your life, can you ever really get over it? Can a broken heart be mended? Spike isn't sure that he'll ever stop loving Buffy even though she seems to have moved on. Spiralling ever deeper into depression, will he be able to find a way back to happiness?

Great chapter, can't believe Angel did that! I hope Spike gets himself together and goes back.. I'd imagine Angel didn't tell her what happened, so surely there's hope yet! ^_^

Good chapter, but I'm anxious for Buffy to make her appearance again. Glad to see Spike getting his life back together, but still feel sorry for him :(

I thought for a moment that Cordy knew Buffy and wanted to help him contact her, but looks like she just wants to befriend him.

Looking forward to more!

The Cordelia-as-a-reporter thing was a twist I didn't see coming! Glad to see inside of Buffy's head a little in this chapter.

Their reunion was great, but very sad :( Poor Spike. I'm counting on you to make everything happy in Spuffy land in the last chapter :P

Great update!
