It's neat that Buffy placed the sheet among her treasured possessions.

 You`re an amazing writer! I loved this, original, true to character, and with amazing presents :D I wish I could copypaste the parts I liked, but Bloodshedverse sucks that way, you know? ;P Cant wait to read more!!

  This is great! I loved the end of the first chapter...S6 is not my fav for B/S but you've certainly brought me around.

oh wow!  This chapter could stand alone as a truly lovely short story.  I'm almost afraid to read any more and spoil the tender mood this chapter has created...almost, but not quite!  I can't wait to see what else you come up with next. 

You should be very proud of your writing ability.  You have a gift for touching your readers' hearts.

Oh my.  Came here from Buffyversetop5 on LJ and this is as close to perfect as I can imagine. How wonderful that she's open to his ever so sweet - and immensely meaningful - gift of nothing.  Delightful, delightful, delightful - and I'm on to the next chapter, never mind that it's 1.34 am and I should be sleeping...

She noticed, for the first time, the little creases of use from constant folding and unfolding. Tiny tobacco smudged stains. Part of a red thumbprint in the bottom left corner. Ink? Or blood. Didn’t matter. It wasn’t empty. It was full. Full of so much feeling that it pared her to the bone.

Oh, very nice. You have a lovely way with words, though I must admit that you got me with the "you're pushing it" echo at the very beginning. I am hooked.

I love the little hint that Buffy knows Spike better than he knows himself (despite herself), when it's usually shown to be the other way around.

well. it's so sweet why can'ti find someone like Spike? Are sweet boys just drawn to mean girls because they need them more?

I remember this chapter, which I must have read awhile ago.  I don't recall, however, if I left feedback.  It's just lovely in every way.

Wow, where was I when this story came out?  Beautiful idea with the piece of paper and what Buffy added to it.  I'm going to get started on the rest of this now.

 That was possibly the best thing i have ever read! It could and really should have happened. Amazing job! I plan on reading the rest of the story now :D
Wow!  Thanks so much.  That's an awesome compliment!

That was the second sweetest thing that a man has ever given a woman for a present.  Whatever made you think of this I applaud.  I am so grateful you shared it with us.  Thank you very much.  Twas fine what Spike gave with his angelic smile.  Fine too Buffy's addition.

Spike's gift to Buffy is absolutely wonderful. I love what she added to the list, and how she saved it with her other special mementos.

This is really sweet Spuffy. Loved it.

Nice chapter! I love the piece of paper idea. It's so sweet. I was wondering about Dawn's dream. Was that a prophetic type dream? With the Cheeseman, I was thinking so. But feel free to tell me if I'm just an idiot and totally wrong.

Lovely.....so much said so beautifully! Wonderful tale. Ah but if only Buffy HAD understood the depths and reality of his love.
