Oh, so sad! I can definitely see it happening, though; well done!

Thank you! I guess I have a thing for angst, but when I write my goal is never angst but 'happy' though it somehow turns on me, damn my fingers!

(Thanks, still a bit new here, so I didn't know all the rules!)

Oh, that's depressing and lovely. I really like the idea that the vow is to reach heaven.

Thank you! I hope it's not too depressing, I just wanted something a sad yet hopeful, thus where the promise to meet in heaven came in.

I do really wish that. I know Spike has done really horrible things (his body count is in the 10s of thousands) but I think maybe after saving billions and being a good man (repenting?) that somehow a part of him will make it to heaven (like his soul will go there but his demon part goes to hell er something).

Wah! Beautiful.

“Be happy Buffy and don’t wait up for me, yeah?”
“Sure…but I’m waiting…for you..."

Oh, tissue alert!

Thanks! I will insist that Buffy will wait for Spike no matter what, even if he never makes it, so at least something of Spike will be with her in heaven.

*sniffle* That is so sad and beautiful. I could so see it happening like that. That's a tall order she's left him. Love how she turned around the lines from "Chosen".

Thank you! This is definitely how I see the end to Buffy's story. I can never see her growing old and dying naturally.

I wanted to do that (the turning around of the lines from "Chosen") about half way into writing this. It kind of just came to me and I thought it would work and be so right for them, because the "I love you"/"I love you too" just doesn't seem to fit for them.
