Ooh!!  Two Spikes!  I was wondering where this time's Spike was hanging out.  Hmm, are Buffy, Spike, & Giles just back in time or in another dimension AND back in time...would be interesting to find that out.  Really liked Spike's jealousy...& nice switch on the pout.  Totally thought it was Buffy...nice to see it was Spike. LOL Glad the Scoobies told the truth about Dawn...Ardeth knows a lot & Evy's a good researcher, it could cut down on the time it takes to find everyone.  I'm really enjoying this story!  More soon please! :)

I'm glad Ardeth already knew about the Key...& I liked the succinct explanation by Giles--though Buffy's was amusing.  Glad Logan's seeing something positive about working w/ THIS group, @ least...since he could barely tolerate Cyclops & working w/ the X-Men.  & yay! Giles' grandmother!!  Love that inclusion, can't wait to see what she has to say. & maybe Spuffy can give her Slayer a couple pointers to help her out (w/o changing history too much).  I'm liking how Spuffy & Giles are working together as the leaders of the group & that it looks like they have an actual plan of sorts. I also really enjoyed seeing POV from several of the main players.  Oh & I loved the quiet Spuffy moment of them watching the sunrise together--lovely.  Great ujpdate!  Hope to see more soon. :)

Totally loved this chappie! I really loved Buffy standing up for Spike & making it clear to Giles' grandma that Spike's not to be harmed.  ADORED the almost casual way Spike revealed that he felt when Buffy was called.  Can't wait to see what happens w/ the other Spike, I'm sure Spuffy will find him eventually (if he doesn't find them first). So glad Giles knows the truth about Buffy being in Heaven & I really liked that he wished Tara was w/ them to see Spuffy's auras.  & where in time is this THIRD Spike?  Can't wait to see what his story is & why he left the Hellmouth & what his relationship w/ Giles is like.  Fantastic chappie...pretty please, more soon? :D

Bwahahaha! Loved this chapter! Especially the juxtaposition of Giles telling his grandmother about Spuffy's tenacity--as they complain & shop & try to get drunk.  I was giggling through the whole chapter. LOL Loved that Edna finally accepted what Giles said as truth & was willing to help.  Absolutely LOVED Buffy telling 1941-Spike to come out & help her w/ the Chaos demons & his utter amazement @ seeing her fight for him.  Wasn't surprised that he fled when he had the opportunity, I'm sure we'll see him again...soon! & I like that Evy & Buffy are planning some revenge on the boys for getting piss-drunk. Great chappie!!!

First of all, I'm sorry to hear that the collab will no longer be writing this story, but I'm VERY happy that you're continuing it anyway.  Great chapter!  I'm really liking how their stay in Egypt is affecting the timeline in different ways...can't wait to see how it all pulls together!  & I like that everyone is getting new memories, Spike & Giles included.  Makes for an interesting time.  & I really loved that Buffy's first thought was to inform Evil!Spike of their plans...wonder if Current!Spike worries that he'll have to fight himself for Buffy's affections? LOL  & I'm excited to see the trouble they cause in London--isn't that where the Watchers' Council is?  Now, I'm sure they do their best to avoid the WC, but who knows what could happen. *wink, wink*  Oh & I quite enjoyed seeing the young'uns (Dawn, Alex, & Rogue) trying to figure out a) what's going on & b) how to escape.  Really lovin' this story & I look forward to more.

Ooh...I am LOVIN' the revised future!  Warren summoning Sweet made me giggle. & le sigh for Spuffy @ Prom.  & this was a fantastic chappie!  I really liked Buffy making the first move w/ Past!Spike, & that Present!Spike was jealous.  That was cute.  Though I get the feeling (or maybe it's just a hopeful wish) that Buffy will rectify that situation soon. :D  & interesting how the future is changing...Giles knew Spike as a teen?  & I like the idea of stopping Glory before Buffy has to sacrifice herself.  & ooh! Was Baldie/Imothep talking to the First? That may explain why the kids didn't see anyone.  I do like that they're taking their rescue into their own hands--not that they don't think the adults are capable, just love that the kids aren't willing to wait around to see what Baldie has planned.  & great idea for having Spike talk to his past self a bit & give him a heads up.  As always, I look forward to more!

Absolutely wonderful!  I'll be sure to post a message on Tasha's CB to let her know I appreciate her hard work. :D  I totally loved that you showed the fighting side of Spuffy (& not just the physical stuff!).  & I liked that the kidnapped kids are getting just as frustrated as the adults.  Hope to see more Spuffy (w/ both past & future Spike)...& that we see what other changes this adventure has wrought for the the future! :)

Of course they need magic to get their answers!  The baddies wouldn't make it too easy to stop their plan.  I liked Dawn, Rogue, & Alex bantering & working together.  & was that Beljoxia's (sp?) Eye that caught them?  That would be odd, to say the least.  And I really liked Logan's foresight in contacting Xavier, even if the Professor is on the young side.  It definitely helps give the rescuers a better shot at success!  Also, so hoping they manage to destroy Acathla before they leave town!  If not, hopefully Spike & Giles can get to it in the altered future. :D  Great chappie, hope to see more soon!

Fantastic chapter!  I like that Rogue has control of her power, but I hope we get a flashback showing some of what she went through in those 10 years.  I LOVED Buffy's reaction to Angel, and Angel's reaction to the two Spikes.  Ooh, and Amy's grandmother being involved?  Maybe Catherine won't get a chance to steal her daughter's life (or want to).  I can't wait to see what happens next and what changes occur to the timeline.

Oh I really liked the Mary POV,and that it was meeting Spuffy and friends that led to her moving to America and meeting her husband!  That was fantastic.  I also like that Amy will be unratted…I hope this doesn't mean no Tara, though.  And I enjoyed everyone's reactions to the mummies and the kidnappees finding out what Imotep wants.  Awesome update!

Ooh!  I like Spike and Lawson staying together after the submarine, and that Spike never went back to Dru.  Though I worry that a part of him will blame Buffy and himself for her dusting.  I also liked Giles and his grandmother trying to find a retention spell.  Great update!

Reviewer: clarityfades Signed
Date: 11/24/2015 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Wonderful update!  I liked the little bit of Lawson's POV, and that he's still willing to help out.  And I like that Spike isn't in love with this timeline's Buffy yet; they need to know each other better first.  I love Edna in this fic, and I love that Spike came back to the side of good in part due to Robin.

Great chapter!  I loved the meeting in the Magic Box of all the different groups.  So not surprised that Angel tried to dust Lawson and Spike, he never did like to share his toys or be reminded of his not-so-appealing past.  But I liked Tara telling everyone what Angel tried to do and opening up about her dad.  Willow is right--poopyhead.

I'm sad this is coming to an end, because it's a wonderful story.  I do love seeing Buffy, Spike, Evie, Rick and Logan all working together.  Might I hope for a sequel?

As for this chapter, I liked the ingenuity of using Logan's claw & Buffy's strength to shatter the crystal.  And I love the idea that Alex and Dawn will meet again.  Terrific update!

Terrific!  I loved Buffy, Giles & Spike deciding to retain all their memories, and Buffy later telling Spike he'd want to know all the details.  And I'm glad Alex was reunited  with Dawn & that Joyce lived.  I can't wait to see how that happened.

Reviewer: clarityfades Signed

I liked it.  I really liked Alex telling Imothep what we all knew from the movies--she never loved him as much as he loved her.  And the appearance of Anqet intrigued me.  And Ardeth being reunited with Hassib was fun!  I loved this story!

Summary:

A dream on the way to Sunnydale changes Spike's entire existense.

Loved Spike's reaction to the girls' bet.  & I liked that they both recognized each other.  & yay!  Really liked that Spike told Buffy the Master could be resurrected (loved his reaction to the Master's bite).  & I totally loved Joyce's reaction to Buffy getting out of such an "oldie" car.  & I'm glad Spuffy are being completely honest w/ Joyce--& in a way that she cannot deny.  Great chappie!  Can't wait for the rest of this fic!!

Reviewer: clarityfades Signed

Yay!  I'm glad Spuffy took care of the Master's bones right away...& I loved their run-in w/ Giles & Angel.  Hilarious!!  Especially when Angel realized playing "hard to get" didn't get him anywhere at all. LOL  & I'm really enjoying how matter-of-factly Spuffy talk about their dreams & their future together.  Also, I thought the part about Joyce planning a trip to Africa w/ Spuffy for the summer was a nice touch.  Uh-oh!  Looks like Angel's trying to beat Spike to the punch...why do I get the feeling it isn't going to work? ;-P  Good Spike/Giles convo, & Giles believing Spike & Buffy was great.  Can't wait for more...update again soon, please!

Wonderful ending!! & I can't wait to see just how those other Spuffy's are getting along.  I loved seeing Buffy's smackdown of Angel, especially since he expected her to fall all over him.  Plus, I liked seeing Cordy, Willow & Buffy getting along for something other than a Scooby meeting.  & great idea of siccing Angel on Kendra! Bwahahaha!!  If Whistler hadn't appeared, I'm sure that would've been comedy GOLD. LOL  & I loved the li'l bit of Spuffy goodness @ the end.  Great story!

Ha-ha!  That was delightful!!  Loved that Buffy could see the castle & that Lorne & Gunn moved to Spuffy's town.  Too cute!  I'm totally excited for that "different story" as well...do I hear sequel in the works?  Hope so!  Really enjoyed that Dawn hired Spike to get Buffy...yay!  & that they all ran away together to live happily ever after. :-P  Wonderful holiday one-shot!

Aww...that was some unexpected awesomeness!  I loved that 2000 Spuffy still stayed together & that "today" Spuffy found their way to each other--near another Sunnydale. :)  Absolutely perfect for the holidays. *sigh* I especially enjoyed Willow & Lorne being happy for their friends going to search for each other & I liked that Dawn was right by Buffy's side, hauling her suitcase to the car.  & excellent tidbit letting us know that Willow & Kennedy are about to be kaput. Wonderful Christmas prezzie! :P  Thanks!

Aww...I don't like Spike rejecting Buffy. :( But I loved the story!  I really like the idea of Buffy being around during William's human years (@ least for a short while), & I loved that she told off the group being mean to William.  Really liked Spike not believing Buffy, & is this where Spike first started disliking magic?  Interesting idea.  But I quite enjoyed seeing Buffy try to be a Victorian lady & seeing William's love for his mama. Aww! :D
