Hi! Just reached this point in (almost) one go, and I have to tell you, I love it. I love how accurate and realistic your buffy sounds, and your way of writing is spectacular. I'm usually not that into season 5 fics cause the can sometimes be a bit unrealistic (and fast) in the way that they get Spike and Buffy together, but here everything feels very natural and true to the characters.
Thank you very much. :)

There's a reason I don't usually write short fics, especially anything romantic. I like to take the time to really build a relationship between characters. I had a few different reasons for picking Season 5 to set this in, but it honestly was just perfect for what I wanted to do. I never intended for it to be as long as it's ended up being--but in the end I'm glad I went the way I did. I think it makes for a more interesting story, and more realistic characters.
