Thank You for creating such a great Buffyverse story and original character - I loved this story from the first chapter.

  Frenetic last few chapters.  It was an unique journey (although there is one more chapter, this feels like an ending) but one I have enjoyed thoroughly.  It was strange how her opinion of Spike stayed so high, but her ideals were definitely changing throughout the story, Spike was almost like the rock she used to steady herself.  
  I like that she realized she no longer needed it by the end though.

  Two friends on two different paths, it made for an excellent tale.
Wow!  All I can say is thank you so very much for taking the time to comment on each chapter.  I thoroughly enjoyed your comments and am glad you enjoyed the story.  I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to get any sleep, though!   But what a difference it makes to have comments on each chapter.  You see the effect your work has had as it progressed.  As much as a comment at end of a story is appreciated, yours certainly wins top marks from me.

I will await your comments on one of my other favourites We Will Remember Them.  I think you'll enjoy it.

" It had been an odd day - one of his best friends had tried to kill him, the world was probably coming to an end and he was taking tea with a vampire."  Again with perfection!  I can see this interaction clearly.  I love Giles and the way he is suggesting Agnes move back to England.  He seems to have taken her measure quite thoroughly.

And so they are off.  So now we know what became of Warren's body.  Better than he deserved if you ask me!


Oh dear...W&H.  It makes perfect sense but they are so beneath Agnes it's too bad she has to soil herself by dealing with them.  Naturally Richard would have been their client though.

Thank you so much for all your reviews.  I know you have been one of Agnes' staunchest supporters from the very beginning.   She keeps apologetically coming into my mind asking me "did I know she once ran a bed and breakfast hotel in England funded by Rupert Giles"  What can she mean?

Really good story, and showed the real unhealthy obsession that Spike has for Buffy, and Buffy's complete lack of anything.

Thank you so much for writing this unique tale, I'm sorry to see itend because I've enjoyed it so much.  It was a real treat to see the events of S5 and S6 through another's eyes, and of course the snapshots of Agnes' life were wonderful.  Leaving Sunnydale is the perfect exit for dear Agnes and her family and I hope they go from strength to strength.  Cakes ahoy!
How kind of you!  Thank you for staying with me and Agnes on our journey.  I've loved reading all the comments and they've helped a lot.

Another wonderful chapter and I'm sad to see the very last.  Loved the worm casserole and Giles being forged in the furnace of public school.  :)   I'm going to miss Agnes.  
So glad to hear you liked the last chapter.   I will miss Agnes so much.  She is part of my life now!  Still, Future Imperfect beckons imperiously, so must get on!

Agnes Pringle is one of my favorite original characters.  This was a lovely retelling of canon, with Agnes filling in some holes.  I'm imagining Spike contacting her after he recorporalizes in Angel Season 5.  And she opens up a new tea shop!
Thank you so much. Delighted you enjoyed reading about Agnes.

I'm so glad dear Agnes didn't bite Giles and that she'll be well out of the way by the time the FE shows itself. I suppose it would have been too much to ask for you to take her through season 7 too, but hopefully she won't fall foul of Angel in LA....
I suppose I always assumed that her inclusion would have led to changing canon sufficiently so that we'd end up with happy Spuffiness, but I guess you always intended to keep her on the sidelines.
Thank you for your support.  Yes, I never wanted Agnes to interfere with canon. Most of the time I showed how canon wouldn't have happened without her!  So perhaps not so much on the sidelines as in the centre!  

And no, I couldn't see how she would fit into the Season 7 scenario.  She would have hated Spike getting a soul, hated him with Buffy even more and probably ended up baking scones for The First!

But Agnes and Giles in England.....well.....
