That whole thing was brilliant!!! And the ending was so sweet! But what was the bit with Teddy and Xander and the camera...?

I love this story - I'm sure that I mentioned before that I liked how you changed the usual Qrentin Travers character.  It's really nice to have a different head of the Watchers Council instead of the arrogant and cold hearted cruel portrayal.  

I always enjoy the good relationship between Giles and Spike in a story as well - also, very much liked how you created the human-demon relationship change showing how they can coexist. 

Thanks for a great Spuffy love story.  

Very sweet...  wow, you made me like Quentin more than Xander...

I really do like Giles and Anya...  One day you'll have to do a G/A story...

Blue

That was beautiful.

Wow. I can understand why this story won awards and nominations. It took me less than 24 hours to read it!

I must say that my absolute favourtie part here was the telepathy between Spike and Buffy. That alone was enough to place this fic head and shoulders above the rest.

Great job.

Every time I read this it brings a smile to my face...Thank you for that.

I don't usually go in for claiming stories, but this one had me. Plus, anything that prevents Riley date-age is a wonderful thing! Very sweet story.

That was amazing! You write amazingly well. Probably one of the best Spuffy authors. I know that once I start, I won't be able to stop. Keep up the great work. I loved that you allowed them to claim in the end! Great ending.

I loved the wedding, and I liked it wneh Travers came and said Spike and Buffy could claim each other again.
The whole story was great, loved it from the beginning to the end.

Bloody brilliant. That's all I can say really, just pure genius.
Thank you.

Wonderful! I have read through every chapter and it is truly a great story. All characters are very believable. I'm normally not one for happy endings and romance, but this works for me. Xander behaved like the immature and insecure moron that he is, Anya hooked up with Giles (so much better for her) and Willow is -so far- happy with Tara.

This piece of art is something to be very proud of.

OH MY GOD , one of the best fics i read... so MY GOD, words won´t describe the feelning when i read it. Its Just sparkling!!!

The story was great fun! I'm so pleased to see a fairytale happy ending for them for a change - with a beautiful wedding surrounded by friends! And I have to tell ya - I am *all* about the bitey fiction! I LOVE it! I think it's what makes Spike as a vampire so intriguing....and sexy ...and yes a little bit scarey (Big Bad after all! ;) ) Thanks for the fabulous read! ~ Kelly

Such a great read! Thank you for this story, it was fun and sexy. Mixed in there was insight into the characters and their reactions to the strangeness that is their lives. I will definitely revisit this story in the future!

It's cute that Buffy and Spike are getting married. The way they banter makes me laugh. Great update.

Xander got an eyeful now didn't he? Is it cruel to want to laugh? Oh well, hahaha!! Spike's proposal was so sweet! Thanks again for these wonderful chapters.

I'm looking foreward to see where the new 'thing' between Anya and Giles leads them. Glad Spike got back safely.
Great chapters.

OOOHH...Xander is really getting on my nerves. How dare he talk to them like that. I hope Anya and Gles do get together (by the look of the banner I would say they are).

I love how you wrote the parting scene and how Giles acted toward them both - it's a realistic treatment for the Giles who loved Buffy and had respect for her as both a the Slayer and the woman.  I'm having a great time reading this again.  

I don't want Spike to leave.. :(
Great chapters.

More goodness from these chapters!! Everything I read was absolutely filled with energy and care! Thanks, onto the rest!

Still love this story!

Well needless to say, I love this story. Everything is great! From the claim (definitely hot) to the interaction of the characters. I NEED to go read the rest!

Kayt 06/26/2005 @ 03:03 pm Email Awww! I have to say, usually I don't really buy "romantic sex" fics, but this one teased at so many issues the show left unexplored, and made such an involved portrayal of Spike/William's personality, and had such believable writing that I couldn't help but go with it. Just awesome. Iona 06/22/2005 @ 10:50 am Aww.. I've just read the whole story.. Stopped twice to eat. ;) Really loved it! Spuffy forever!

Lol - and this: “So,” Joyce said brightly, “I have a wedding to plan!” 35 Oh yeah, still missing that claim, too. Wonder who their witness was. Or should I say stalker? Spike noticed the smell, but it was to short... Oh - it seems as if it was Xander. I forget about him... Well, that's right - no pleasent way to find out that your lover has moved on. But it's mostly Xander's fault. Loved Buffy sharing her joy with the engagement. (Ring) So there were tapes, lol. 36 Mmm - what did Xander do? Did he a wish and wished everyone away accidently = he got wished away by himself? Or is it worse?? 37 That was a wonderful description of the wedding, good enough for me! I don't need to know how many laces Buffy's dress did have. Till he asked if anyone knew of a reason the couple should not be joined... *Head desk* Your are evil, you know that? You have to be a genius for this... *sigh* I look every day for an update on the update site, and on some days there is an update mentioned of several chapters. ...
