Thank you for writing this! I just finished #37 and am a little terrified that Joss will negate the many Spuffy reunion fanfictions that I have come to love. Sneaking this piece in between two issues is perfect. Well done - just enough romanticy goodness mixed in with believability. :)

I refuse to read the comics because from all I hear they aren't about the Buffy I know, respect, or care about. So I know very little about what is happening in the comic plots But since I like you as a writer, I wanted to read what you had to say.  And I like it!  I imagine you found a good way to add some Spuffy without going against the comics' plot by putting in this "it could have happened this way" scene.  I can just see this being the way the two of them would react to seeing each other again--the love, the need, the putting it aside for both pride's sake and for the good of the mission like always.  Thanks for making the comics more Spuffy!

Good get rid of that Angel stink once and for all.  :)
