| wild wolf free17 2006-02-19 ch 1, | abuseAbsolutely stunning. One of my all-time favorite Xander scenes, either on the show or in fic, is the beginning at the bar. I read this a long, long time ago and just didn’t review, but I completely adore this story. You are a wonderful writer and wrote Xander—my favorite “Buffy” character—perfectly. |
| Becka 2005-01-29 ch 1, | abuseThis is a _fantastic_ story. I saw the pitiful number of reviews, was appalled, and decided I had to add my own voice to the small collective wise enough to praise you. Your Xander is perfect. 100% of exactly what a Xander who's grown up a bit should be. He angst. He covers it up with a bit of snark. He sublimates and moves on. I couldn't write a Xander so well if I took a 4 credit course on him. The interactions with Faith, Willow, and Dawn are great. It's low-key but packed with a punch that leaves me grinning. I teared briefly when Willow saw Xander making a grab for her magic books and whammied Xan against a wall. Along the same vein, your Faith, Willow, and Dawn are also superb. I don't love them quite as much as Xander, so I'm a bit biased. But they were well written, and Willow's "this isn't in the script" thought process was brilliant. My one and only complaint is the lack of love for Lost Boys, but I love the movie and am aware of my own personal bias in this matter. Otherwise, this story is... fantastic. Like I said in my first line. And really, it is. Thank you for writing, thank you for posting. becka |
| MBB 2005-01-07 ch 1, | abuseGood fic, his anti-vamp-rant was outstanding. Short, too the point, and complete listing for people who claim he should be nice to Spike and Angel. |

| aka Arashi 2004-12-01 ch 1, | abuseOne word to sum it up? Awesome. I'd add some adjectives but they might get me in trouble. :P The only thing I have to say to the negative is this story could have been done in smaller bites. (if you had you could have racked up the reviews too) I ran out of time when I started reading it yesterday and it would have been more convenient to open up a chapter than scroll through the work. But that aside, this is a brilliant fic. I love the tone and voice of the characters... you have them all spot on. Your pop-cultural referencing is rockin' and I can totally imagine all the characters saying/thinking/doing what you've written. Thanks for the great read! |

| HecatonchiresLM 2004-02-17 ch 1, | abuseGreat story. Very reasonable world view of whats going on after the end of teh series. off to see if you've written anything else. |
| Tassos 2003-12-02 ch 1, | abuseExcellent writing. Xander grieveing and going crazy was well done and I especially liked how you wrote Faith figuring out what she's doing too. |
| Wolf31 2003-08-07 ch 1, | abuseI real nice fic. Can't wait for more of your writing. |
| casualattitude 2003-06-28 ch 1, anon. | abuseok, don't know if you're planning on carrying on with this but I think you should. Nice style and I like the rather diturbed Xander - good job. |
| zardoz1 2003-06-26 ch 1, | abuseExcellent story, you captured the charactors voices very well. You also dealt with the mess that ME left behind in regards to charactor interactions. THANK YOU for shuffling Wood outa there. |
| Malaskor 2003-06-25 ch 1, anon. | abuseExcellent character piece. I hope there will be more of that as the end is SO open to contiuation. Keep up the good work. |
| denaumo 2003-06-25 ch 1, | abuseGood story - but it doesn't feel complete. any chance for a continuation? |
| just jen 2003-06-25 ch 1, | abuseTruly, I am in awe. This was terrific. Characterisation, tone, references - everything spot on. Loved it. |
| Feliz 2003-06-25 ch 1, anon. | abuseI loved the fact that this fic covered a lot about Xander's feelings regarding the loss of Anya. I do believe that a lot of us refuse to believe that all he can say about her death was that she's always doing the stupidest things, no matter how affectionate that whole statement meant. We all want to believe that he would have felt more than passing grief over the woman he almost married and probably still would given a chance. I do hope you make a sequel and write back to me. I would not mind it if you asked for editing help. |
