No More Snakes and Ladders...Final Update!

[tabaqui]

The last square.
Square Twenty-Five: In Which There is an Ending.

Previous parts are here.

You can bid us a fond farewell right here.

As always - and with many thanks and much love - kudos to camisha and darkhavens for beta-ing, chatting, nattering, squeeing, and generally making Snakes and Ladders just that much better.

Thank you, ladies!

Writing this story has been - amazing. I've gotten to know and - yes, love - reremouse. Have enjoyed every moment of writing this, even when our two cross-wired brains totally stalled out on each other and we were reduced to blankly staring at our keyboards and going 'whaaa??'

Rere, it's been a blast! I know we'll be working together in the future - but this story will always have a special place with me. Many many *hugs* and *smooch*es.


And yes - there will be an epilogue. We...simply...must.
Thank you! Enjoy!

A what?

:: faints ::

Wah!

I wanted to see em have some adventures and be happy for a while:)

I wanted em to meet up with Angel and rub it in his Batvampy face how happy they are together and that neither one of em are evil without their souls...To see what he threw away with Spike...and what a great vamp Xander makes..And doesn't the sire or head of the clan have to acknowledge new Childer?? Hmm..I really love this story but I wanted some more of the two happy vamps together for awhile..There're a few loose ends..

What are the consequences of Xander killing the slayer? What will Angel theink, say and do? What will Buffy think say and do?? What about Giles and the Council? What happens to Willow, and does Spike settle down now, without a soul, will he finally, finally be happy with someone of his own, that chose him and chose to become like him to stay with him?I guess I could think of a few more, Lordy I'm gonna miss the new squares of this story..Is this Spike's reward for saving the world...What would make them take their souls back? Sigh...

Ummmmm...there IS going to be an epilogue...
So not that many loose ends.
And no - no Sires, no Childer and no head of clan...stuff.
Just...
No.

Loverly, just loverly. I like how you ended it. Believe me, I was shocked to see this was the last square, but damn, it ended great. *G* Can't wait to see the epilogue. *cackles*

You two did a bang up job with this.

Awwww, very sad that it's over. Looking forward to the epilogue. Great, chapter - hope Xander isn't hunted up by any of his friends.

Thank you, bay-bee!
Epilogue soon.

Just finished reading the last square. Wow! I loved this story and am sorry that you've finished it. But, gotta say, glad Spike lost the soul. After their humans are gone, it'll just be Spike & Xander and Spike will be better off not always feeling so guilty. Maybe, after your promises epilogue, you guys can occasionally visits with the boys and share it with us?

[tabaqui]

Thank you so much!

We do intend to return and visit the boys from time to time, and you're right, eventually everyone ELSE will be dead.
