Brilliant.

Wow. This was really depressing. And I don't mean that in a bad way. The story was true to charcter and reflective and sad. It's just painful seeing Willow's regret at who they's become. And looking back on the firt 3 seasons, watching them all be so happy, then seeing seasons 6 and 7... it just makes your heart ache. So, um, good story, I guess.

Wow. This was really affecting. I'm in England and we haven't had the final series of Buffy on terrestrial television. Of course I'm spoiled up the wazoo but you know, and I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm wondering whether I really want to watch it. I've loved the show for so long and the fanfiction, etc. I'm not sure that I want to watch everyone get as tired and bitter and separated from each other as you here describe. This was a really powerful piece which rang true to me and gave me food for thought.

Thank you.

Wow, powerful stuff. I'm impressed.

Wonderful story, well written with great characterisation. Fitted in very well with the last few episodes.

This is *fabulous*

How very sad, and reasonable. It's just a great depiction of Willow at the end of s7 -- of all of them really. What a mood.

Wow. I thought this was a particularly incisive look into Willow's thought process. Particularly her weariness, guilt, and resentment.

I like the way you weave Willow's musings and feelings with her memories and past experiences. It gives more depth and helps me, as a reader, to buy into your characterization.

Wow. I'm stunned. Thanks for sharing your story.

Wow. Also "Ow."

Damn, I feel weary after just reading it.

They've come so far, and in many ways lost so much doing it. :-/

Great look into Willow's head.

Walking through the series with Willow this way helped me process my grief at the ending of the series as well. Thank you.

Wow. Sad, painful, and perfect. A better characterization of Willow than we have seen on screen in a long time with nicely fitting throwbacks to past episodes. Very nicely done.

that was one of the sadest fics I've read in a long time (sad in a good way). Beautifully done. Just wonderful.

Lovely and heartbreaking and perfectly true to Willow and the other Scoobies. I have to agree -- this is closer to the Willow we know and love than we've seen on-screen in quite some time. An excellent character study.

Ow. Oh, beautiful. And sad. And... *sigh*
