If her reality did not give him a reason to live, at the very least it offered him a reason not to die, and he felt his spirits shift accordingly

William is honest with himself - he is dying, he likes this Buffy, he will not play the fool again. It is heartbreaking!

Her necklace was in his watch pocket, just below his heart
How charming [and Victorian].

No matter how bitter and pragmatic William is, he's still a romantic at heart. I'm glad you liked that bit. Thank you! :)

He had neither the time nor the inclination to consider lesser idols.

What a great line.

I've been remiss in not commenting before now to tell you how engrossed I am in this story. And something Buffy said to him in the previous chapter is staying with me. She told him that the portal only opens for her, but maybe someday it will open for him too. Not sayin' anything, but just sayin'.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on this chapter; I really appreciate it. And I'm glad you're still enjoying the story.

Ah, you caught that, did you? ;)

Hi, I'm really enjoying this and think that your William is very much as I imagine he would be in this situation.

How I love this William of yours. He's so real. I just want you to know that he draws me in. I'm quite curious to see what will become of him, and Buffy too.

Thank you! I'm so happy you like the way I write William. He's such a contrast to my last version of the character I was worried readers might not care for him the same way. :)

She was not a dream, and that meant he needed his strength in order to meet with her

Looks like William just got his wake up call.

There had been another. Just the one and it had not lasted very long, but it had been no less genuine because it was ill fated

That part REALLY intrigues me!
