very good read, thank you. love the last line.

Buffy is so mercurial at times that it's confusing but I suppose that was her whole mood in S7. 

I'm enjoying the care and attention to the emotional detail.  There is a hesitancy and sweetness that really brings the characters to life.  I can feel a thoroughly satsifying read coming on! 

I'm really enjoying this story, and can't wait to keep up with your updates!
