so perfect :3 Loved all of it! As a potterhead and a major spuffy fan, it couldnt get better then this... unless of course... a sequel is involved... ;)

Nice spuffy fic, yay. I love angst combined with romance and I do like it when Spike ends up happy because, boy, does he deserve it?!

Oh that was lovely. So painful and full of angst. So very them. All the misunderstandings that come with that pair. Also the Dawn and Spike friendship is one of my favourite things to read along with Spuffy. So this story made me deliriously happy. So well done.

Liked your story very much - Love your Spike and how you handled their resolution to the AR and her own absuive treatment of him. Not sure that I quite understand how Buffy could have had such an emotional upheaval of seeing Spike in the mirror if she did not feel enough love to tell him of her feelings or to even understand that she loved him now.

You have a very good quality for expressing emotional conflict and pain -

Don't know where you are taking this but I sure wish that Spike would take himself away from Buffy and Angel both; not have to be with either of them.

Guess I'll just have to turn the page and find out what you have in store for him.

This was so sad - I really like how you showed that Buffy believed she was only doing a last grand gesture with her "I Love You" and Spike's response.

Never could understand why Joss Whedon had that ending for their relationship - But it fits his story and life and way, IMO, perfect and great story telling. Of course with the Cassie/Cassandra telling him that she would tell him, it is also the right foreshadow and connection - since Cassandra was never to be believed.

Love your style - I hope to do some graphics based on this story.

NICE - lovely - a wonderful treatment of the sense of loss shared by Buffy and Willow and a wonderful introduction of Spike.

DR OKAKAGBE BROUGH HAPPYNESS TO MY LIFE

what a wonderful world we are living, i still doubt this spell caster how he did it!
My mouth is full of testimony, Am blessing my husband left the home for two years to south Africa for a tourist,he meant a prostitute and he was bewitch by the girl my husband refuse to come back home again, i cry day and night looking for who to help me, i read a news paper about a powerful spell caster called and i contacted the spell caster to help me get my lover back to me and he ask me not to worry about it that the gods we fight for me.. he told me by mid-night when all the spirit is at rest he will cast a spell to reunite my lover back to me. and he did in less than 3 days my husband came back to me and started crying that i should for forgive him, i,m so happy for what this spell caster did for me and my husband. is the best spell caster in the whole wild world.

I liked it! What was Buffy thinking at the end? There could be another apocalypse tomorrow! You don't wait to tell someone you love them.

i really liked your story...

i do wish that it had gone on a little more.

*sniffles*

Even though I love stories where they talk everything out and Buffy all of a sudden finds all her words, this feels *real*.

Write more spuffy!

Love Xander's internal monologue! Love how Buffy stalks Spike and can't talk to him.

As painful as it is - and as much as it makes us want to slap her - her reaction to Spike is so very spot on.

You're so very good at the conflicting emotions!

I've been looking and looking for a new author whose stories I could really enjoy - as opposed to just kind of like (and now I've found one!). I appreciate authors who have great story flow and grammar and vocabulary AND plot AND good character voices - it's rare to find all three!

I really like the idea of *Angel* being the one whose cookies would never finish baking, because he would always be searching for redemption. Great insight.

Also love that Buffy worries what she would really see is a pair of shoes.
