Loved this!

   Sigh.  Ok first, I am all man here even if I sigh like a boy. Second I dont go around sighing for just anybody, but you always deliver.   Story after story you give me good banter, excellent character work and just about always a Happy Ending.

   I love your stuff, It doesn't matter who you work with, actual characters or your own, I always like what you do with them. Your characters are distinct, They seem to breathe and feel and have their own motivations within the story.  You also almost always have a unique sort of bent to each one of your stories.  Even writing all the same characters again and again you seem to come up with something interesting, and worth the read.

  Third, I am most likely exaggerating my manly status.  Me being a man means I've always got some little boy traits innate within me. I swear though, it's probably like a good sixty forty split.

*happysigh*  That was glorious.  I got so caught up that I forgot to leave a review the previous chapter about Giles getting something like the smackdown he deserved... but I also like the compassionate resolution to that conflict.  They've all grown up, including Giles - he can't stay deliberately blind forever.

Of course, describing Spike and Buffy as a fighting force so formidable that just showing up could turn the tide of the battle was kind of awesome too.  There's a lot to be said for being legendary. :)

Very well done, very satisfying story.  And now it's nine minutes till midnight and I'm going to bed.

Cheers!

briliant!

That was brilliant! Loved the dramatic irony at the start and everything else, too. Thank you.

WOW -

What a great resolution story for NFA and Buffy and Giles post "Chosen/"  Like your use of the other characters - just enought to make them important but not to overtake your story. 

My appreciation of the outstanding Spuffy writers has only increased with the comic book season - I sure hope that Joss Whedon does not destroy the relationship and the transformation journey from the TV era.

Was very nice reading a work that was new to me. 

I love that the characters are so well-balanced.  Giles and Xander come off very well, with just the right amount of snark and remorse.  I was pictureing Spike as "House" in the last few chapters.

Awwww... that was lovely...  It felt real, it was well paced and I ached for them to find each other again...  I coudln't put it down 'til I was done.


Peace

sorry for the late review but just wanted  to add my thanks for a terrific story.

Very nice coming together and getting everything sorted out.   Love this ending.  I can see years and years of happiness. 

A wonderful story.  Thank you so much for sharing this.  You really brought them full circle while retaining the snark and heartbreakingly tender/tough dynamic that I associate with the best in Spuffy writing.  Excellent.

Enjoyed this fic from beginning to end, great job, well done.
 

Most excellent tale! Enjoyed it thoroughly.
