Yay!  He claimed her!  Great Spuffy lovin, as usual.  Can't wait to see Buffy's reaction when she finds out about the claim. :P  I think she may just jump Spike's bones right there & then in order to claim him back--and b/c nookie is fun. :D  & I adored Buffy' reaction to Spike's ILY...it was sweet.  But as much as I loved the Spuffy...my fave part of the whole chapter was knowing we finally saw the world w/o shrimp!!  I've only read one other story in my YEARS of reading Buffy fanfic, who used the world of shrimp.  But you're the first author to actually take us there.  So thanks!  & wonderful chappie!

Fantabulous way for Spike to give Buffy back some of her self-confidence. ;)  I lurved it!  & I really liked Tara's introduction...I miss sweet, shy, stuttering Tara--she'll be a Wiccan goddess in no time!  So glad Tara won't have to put up w/ the ex-Scoobies...& I think Anya & Oz will be really good for her.  W/o Willow competition, I always thought Tara & Oz would've gotten along really well.  & Anya's bluntness may help Tara out of her shell, while Tara's gentle understanding will help Anya adjust to being human.  Aww, I want lots & lots from this story...I hope it's super long or @ least has many sequels! :D  Fantastic chappie!  Hopin' for more soon!

Fantastic ending to a great story!!  Loved that Spike went to back up Buffy @ the door, loved Buffy's smile fading when she realized it wasn't her friends @ the door.  & stupid Angel!  Will he never learn?  I liked that we got to see the whole gang @ Buffy's--including Oz & Ceely Rose...& I liked the Lindsay part.  Totally shocked me!  Lindsay working w/ the PTB cracks me up, glad he got his final revenge on Angel too. :P  Wonderful job, can't wait to see what story you do next. :D

Aww...I loved Giles standing up for Buffy--even though he's not thrilled about her choice in work partners.  That was fantastic!!  I hope Buffy & Giles will be able to mend their relationship fully, & so happy Joyce is on board w/ them leaving the buttheads behind.  REALLY liked Wes standing up for Buffy as well, & seeing that none of the Scoobies will be following Buffy, except Oz...he rocks, so he can stay. :P  & I loved that Anya's still around, I like the new Scooby gang forming, I think their reaction to Spuffy will be much better than the old gang's reaction.  Great chappie!  Off to catch up on the rest!

Okay...coolest thing ever?  Polgaras having racial memory...LOVE THAT!!  I hope it plays a role in one of the other dimensions as well (or in one of the other stories--the Sultana's group could be interesting w/ a Polgara on their side). :P  I really liked this dimension's Buffy being nervous about sex w/ Spike.  & I thought the introduction of Faith & Wes was a nice touch--I look forward to seeing if they end up staying w/ the Sunnydale group or going on to the Cleveland Hellmouth.  & I'm looking forward to seeing the Master go down--especially w/ all these demons willing to help out.  Can't wait to see what else Anne & William can do...that wing thing was kinda crazy!  Fantastic chappie, love seeing this one updated...more soon, please! :)

Great chappie!  I liked that you went back & showed us how the gang decided on Angel's new dimension, & that Dawn's learning more about what she can & can't do w/ her Keyness.  & I liked that they sprang into action against the Master...black hair w/ pink streaks?  I can totally see Buffy rockin' that look, @ least for a little while.  & I really liked that Spike was understanding about Buffy not being ready for anything physical, after what Angel did to her.  It's too bad Ripper needs to get back to his dimension eventually, b/c I'd love to see him paired w/ Anya.  Though maybe he'll end up sticking around somehow?  Wouldn't mind that @ all.  Fantastic, & I look forward to more soon! :)

Great chappie!  Loved Illyria's reaction to the Shades...nice to know that even a God-King has something to fear.  & ooh...only the Immortal Guardians can defeat the Shades?  Interesting, hope we flash back to this dimension so we can see that realm's Spuffy finish off the Shades.  & I liked that Ripper got back to his own dimension...though popping into the Initiative must've been unpleasant.  I really liked how Anyanka dealt w/ him, though...especially w/ a li'l help from this dimension's Spike.  & the kiss w/ Ripper?  Ooh-la-la!! Any chance we'll get a li'l extra scene from this dimension where we see Ripper plant one on Anya?  They pair up much more nicely than Xanya, in my humble opinion. ;)  I'm looking forward to this newest dimension, though.  Giles AND Merrick?  Maybe this Giles is meant to travel w/ the IGs, that could be interesting.  Oh & I loved Spuffy's entrance, it had...style. LOL  More soon please!

Wowza!  I was not expecting that at all!  Totally threw me for a loop (in a good way).  Fantastic chapter...I really like the idea that the Slayer forges strength through pain plays out here.  This Buffy didn't have the same pain, perhaps she's not as effective a Slayer?  Hopefully whatever advice William dished out, helps this dimension's Spuffy.  & I really loved that Giles & Spike of this dimension already ran into them before.  That was a fun twist.  I really love this series, & this story be-boping to different dimensions is just so much fun!  Looking forward to more soon (hopefully)! In the meantime, I'll have to satisfy myself w/ re-reading the full series...again. :-P

Diane?  Claudius?  I must know more!  This was an amazing chapter!  So much info, so much yet to be understood.  I still wanna see Spike put into action the advice William gave him...whatever that was. ;)  I really like that it was one of the Docs who released the Shades...& I'm intrigued by the Puzzleman.  & I liked that Buffy was jealous that Anne was trying to put the moves on HER Spike...I wonder how deeply her feelings are buried?  Hee!  Oh Willow...I get the feeling Illyria's going to take over her body & try to stay as far away from the Immortal Guardians as possible.  But not before Willow attempts to tangle w/ the IGs on her own.  Good job, hope to see more soon! :D

Hee!  I see Claudius tried a similar tactic as Spike to 'capture' the heart of his lady-love. LMAO  Loved seeing a bit of their history.  & I really like that Spike doesn't care for his vapid-ish Buffy, hope she can show some of that (non-Slayer) strength soon!  & nice bit w/ showing how he met the dimension-traveliing Buffy/Anne.  & I liked that the travelers are excited about the pie. That cracked me up.  Uh-oh!  Amon's finally found the proper Key...this should be funny (particularly for Buffy).  Fantastic chappie!

Ack!! Too much information!!  But I love it :D I like seeing what's going on in different dimensions, especially the one where Glory won.  Love knowing that Buffy & Spike are in LA with Angel & Darla (I bet THAT situation had some fun convos!)  And I really liked seeing more of the Puzzleman and the Order of Cerebus...but why didn't sending the soldiers work?  Hmm...maybe it's because Willyria was already there.  And I love seeing Amon willing to help (& obey any rules as far as Dawn is concerned).  My fave may be Buffy seeing her doppleganger & Spike having sex. LMAO So awesome!  Especially the gleam in HER Spike's eyes when she told him about it during the Gem of Amara.  Fantastic chappie!  I've been missing this story! :)

Great chapter posted on my birthday! LOL Only got to it now because I had a busy weekend. :)  I liked seeing Willyria's new dimension from the Scooby POV...can't wait to see what happens there!  & I'm liking the visit to the past.  Can't wait for Young!Giles & Buffy to meet! LOL  Oh yeah, & I love that there's still some outside unknown force blocking the bad guys.

Another Codex found, so that's good. And one prophecy has come true, bye to Willyria but Knox has some questions to answer. Glad Dawn woke up! I wondered if she would.

Yay!  Glad I was right about Dru.  Love that Willow rushed straight to Giles to.give him the update, but Merrick will be a problem.  Dawn & dragons?  Can't wait to see what that's about!  Great update!

I was so hoping this one would be updated!  Still confused about the Shades...but I think I'm supposed to be.  But I loved seeing Buffy's POV about being around Spike & Angel's little mention of Anyanks intrigued me--I really want to know what her EXACT threat was. LOL  & I really liked seeing everyone working together to gather information...aww @ Hassib wanting his wives out of town!  & nice throw in of Willyria...I get the feeling she's operating under the impression that Slayers don't get stronger w/ age--or w/ mating...of course, she doesn't know about the mating part, but still. :P  Can't wait to read more!  Fantastic update!

Aww...sweet Spuffy lovin...always appreciated. :P  & I loved Clem's nervousness while wondering if he played his role well...will he get some lovin' too?  I hope so.  & I'm really digging Tara/Lawson--I'm glad he's taking it slow, & I adore his POV on Tara, it's so cute!  Oh, & I'm glad he & Wes are on their way to see what the Poofter is up to, don't need him fouling up things.  Also, I thought it was excellent that Jesse realized Faith was in Heaven, hopefully he can help her deal with that (along w/ Giles & the rest of the gang).  Interesting that Hope still left even after knowing/suspecting where Faith was...will we see her any more?  Or will she be busy w/ college life?  Can't wait to find out!  Excellent chappie!! :D

Oooh...Sister Edith--Spike's sister or mother?  Or maybe even the spirit who lived in Dru's "Miss Edith" doll?  Can't wait to find out!  & I really liked that Faith noticed that Spuffy's tactics were working...& aww over Faith & Giles.  I'm glad he's going w/ her & even Anya's on board--I think Faith needed the support.  I am curious to see what Jesse decides to do, kinda leaning towards following Hope...he fell for her so quickly.  So glad Oz & Tara will stick around & that all seem to be happy...except Angel, of course.  Glad we'll get to see Lorne soon, & find out the 411 on Angel's activities.  Loved Buffy's plan to seduce Spike to her way of thinking but it wasn't necessary. :D Really lovin' this incarnation of Spuffy...can't wait to read more!  Wonderful chappie.

Fantastic chappie!  Loved the Dot/Oz mating...yay!  & I really liked how Wes & Lawson dealt w/ Angel.  & Xander's reaction was terrific...nice way of letting us know the main thrust of the AU history.  & of course, I liked the Spuffy, liked that they made the connection to Miss Edith.  Oh, & Giles & Robin @ the same school?  That'll definitely help Faith.  Can't wait for more! :D

Great ending!  I always love happy endings...& I cracked up @ Lydia chasing off all the women trying to get a piece of the Immortal.  Seriously, it was hilarious to imagine. :P  Of course, I loved the Spuffy happy--especially Buffy's decision to go back to bed since everything was taken care of. ;)  I like who everyone ended up w/ also--kinda sad that we didn't see Xander meet his perfect match, but everyone else seems nicely happy.  Fantastic story!  As always, I enjoyed the ride. :)

Okay...first of all, I love the idea of a lazy demon inside a vamp--cracks me up!  No surprise that Egyhon was able to take Chad over.  Wonder how much destruction he'll cause before he finds Giles, Ethan, & Oggy?  Loved seeing Buffy jealous over Spike, & Spike reassuring her.  Will we see a smidge of Xander's therapy session?  Hope so, though he may have to help w/ Egyhon first.  & the song for Angel & Cordelia?  Bwahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!  She just might be able to keep Mr. Broody Pants in line...though I adored that they were whisked away almost immediately.  Lilah's wish also gave me a giggle...W&H are gonna be sooo pissed! LOL  Also loved that Fred was saved years earlier than canon, hope for an explanation for the exchange, especially to Wes in England (or was that a Ceri special?).  Great chappie! :D

Oh Harmony! She seems destined to end up a vamp! LOL  But I was glad to see that the Scoobies know she's missing & are trying to find out why. Also glad they know about Angel & Cordelia's disappearance.  I liked seeing Egyhon's POV while he searched for a suitable new body. & I love me some Dalton, so I was glad to see Spike was willing to take him along. & I loved that Spike officially left Dru, realizing he'd been a fool for way too long.  But Chanterelle should learn that master vamps can't be taken that easily. :D  I'm really enjoying Brenna's inclusion, especially her willingness to help Buffy's friends as well as the Slayer. & one would think that Spike would've already learned his lesson about wishing for stuff--but since this was a good wish, he's forgiven. ;) Great chappie! Keep up the excellent work! :)

I was JUST thinking that I missed this fic & hoped for an update!  Great minds & all that. :D  Fantastic chappie!  I liked that Buffy was a bit miffed to be left out of the slaying & that she made her displeasure known.  Also liked the original Scoobies spying on the Cordettes to get info on Cordelia & Harmony.  I do have to wonder if Angel & Cordelia will find their way out of Pylea any time soon. LOL  If they don't, I won't be too upset, but if they do, that'll be good too! Ha!  & Anyanka's convo w/ Ceridwyn cracked me up--as did her plan to keep Xander away from her.  It might be good for both of them for HIM to be the pursuer in the relationship, rather than the other way around.  & I really like that everyone's gonna end up in the same place anyway. :)  Especially liked that we'll still see the Order of Taraka--but Dru should be careful, if she pushes Spike much further, he won't have ANY feeling for her left to stop him from staking her butt.  Wonderful update!  Thanks!

Glad to see Lilah's vengeance work so well! LMAO  I particularly like that the Senior Partners were also affected.  & I can't wait to see what trouble Angel & Cordy get into on Pylea...especially since Fred isn't there to be rescued.  Hope we see a li'l Wes & Fred while we're @ it.  Good that Egyhon's out of the way, now Spuffy can concentrate on their relationship amidst the slaying.
