...and then he drowned her? *hopeful eyes* No? Oh, all right then. :-P

And I just realized how odd that would look to anyone reading your reviews that doesn't get the joke, lol. "What?? She wants him to kill Buffy? What kind of Spuffy fan is she?"

I really do like Spuffy - and I like this Spuffy, and would not at all be opposed to them not dying horrible deaths! (But just this once.)

sweet read, thank you.

This was such a nice "feel-good" chapter.  It was nice to see Cordy, Welsey, and Fred again--and discover that Wesley had asked the Counsel to NOT do the Cruciamentum.  What a good friend he has been to her. So now Buffy is hung up on where Spike gets his money, huh?  Well, I guess they will continue to have issues to deal with the rest of their lives together, but what you did was show that their love and respect for each other is strong enough to get them through those disagreements. 

And you did a lovely job of summarizing their relationship.  I'm surprised this wasn't the end of the story; it would have worked well as a finale...but I'm also glad to know that it isn't the end and there will be more to read!!!

Yay for the nice, sweet chapter. It was all cutesy.
Love that you brought Cordy back for a little bit. I've always been a fan of hers.
Can't wait for more.

Just lovely interlude but most of all I really loved the imagery of that last line.  Yes he may be following her lead but she is trusting him to take her to deep waters too.  Lovely!
