Crap, sorry, Giselle, I didn't see what story you were replying to and the review notices I've gotten recently are for a different fic.

As for your comment, the story has barely started, though it's also not going to be very long.
Saying this here, too, in case people do like me and read lists of reviews:

Hi, all,

I haven't been able to write, really, since Labor Day weekend (first weekend of Sept. for you non-US readers) due to nerve issues in my right arm. Been getting treatment and all, but healing has been much slower than I'd like, so I'm behind on all projects. Really sorry about the delay and I hope to get new words to you soon. Thanks for your patience. If you know others reading my work, please pass the word.   Caro Mio

the personalities hold well to the characters, but this seemed like a very rushed piece. please go into more detail so it's not just the skeletal structure of what's going on in the story. this should have been a big moment, to see how buffy feels with this new power, does she feel like a demon, does she feel human still? you basically just said 'she got back and went out and killed things'. i'm with you on sticking around to read this,but please write more in detail so it fleshes out the story, yeah?
What Buffy's noticing is what's on the page. She didn't receive instant great power, so she isn't feeling instant great power. The Guardians can do what they do because they have developed it over time - Buffy will have to do the same. So, when she said she felt calmer and more grounded, more sure of herself, that's what she has. All 12 chapters have only emcompassed one month's time, so she's only been part of the Guardians for days.

Thank you for reading.

Oh, very intriguing!

The energy of the demon. Its spirit. It must become one with you.

For a a moment, I thought Spike was going to jump out of the box, but you've made it much more complex, as you generally do. Welcome back!
Spike in the box? LOL. No, it's the black smoke stuff we saw in the episode. :D

Thanks.

Interesting. Glad she didn't kill Spike in her thirst for death. Looking forward to reading more of this.

Thank you, Eyghon. She had the urge, but she's still in control of her faculties, so he was safe. I didn't want to do Feral Buffy.

I like this. It's simple, almost elegant in the way not only you did Buffy, but the way she interacted with Spike in S7. Friendly, butdistant at the same time. You really captured the way he seems to understand her more than anyone else, and the way she felt about that.
Kudos.
Thank you. Yeah, it does fit that time.....accepting more of the Slayer demon would change one anyway, but with Buffy here the space she needs is what she'd already been trying to create....except with Spike. As usual, he's the one person to understand this.

Intriguing!  I like super-powered Buffy, and I'm looking forward to see where you'll go with this.
Thank you.
