Like your conclusion very much  -  Spike is so clever about understanding that Love is not something that should come Easy and Quick for them - It's an excellent contrast point to how she fell so totally and, IMO, overwhelmed by her love for Angel.  

Liked how you used the three CoW members as well as your treatment for Giles and Joyce. 

Excellent way to end your story with all three characters bringing in a good Reality Check - it's a wonderful ending and starting to a realistic and mature relationship for them.  

very sweet.  and keeping Joyce healthy and alive... priceless!

That was so sweet and completely reasonable.  Thank you for such a smashing read, I've loved every chapter.

Totally enjoyed!  It's good to see Buffy really analyzing her feelings instead of ignoring them.  I'm hoping for a sequel re the issue of unchipped Spike and the Scoobies.  

And as the best stories do, we end on a hopeful note for the future; a new beginning. Perfect. Thanks!

I so love your stories.
