I love this story - well done.

This was a great story and I'd love to see the aftermath.

Good story except I like it better when Buffy becomes immortal through the mating/claiming I don't like to think of her eventually growing old and dying and leaving Spike. What would he do after she's gone? It would just be to sad.

Excellent mating story -

i love it..i love it...i love it!....

i love it..i love it...i love it!....

Wow. That was just gorgous! I loved it. Very well written!!

I always loved a happy ending

Loved this....wish their writers thought this way.

Loved this one!

oh my God!!!!!!!!!!
I totally loved it :)

Very nice! I am off to read the next installment!

To bad it didn't work that way in canon. It would have been perfect if Sarah would have signed for an eighth season. Having each other's strenghth has to be awesome. Can't wait to see wait the scoobies are going to say, This is going to be great! Let Xander sit on that! Very excited to begin the sequel. Thanks

Mmmmm, fun bitiness. Liked all the details about the claim kicking in, especially.

that was a sweet tead, thank you.

Beatiful, just beautiful!

I love it! I'm so glad you are continuing it. I'd have liked to see this happen. ::sigh::

This was really sweet. I love the idea of the mating ritual making them stronger or weaker depending upon the truth of their love. I’m glad that you started posting the sequel so that I was able to find this gem.

I missed this the first time around. Beautiful!

Really nice:) Would have liked to see what happened next...if they got married and stuff;)

wow..what an original idea, and beautifully done...very sweet and romantic and that really would have given them a chance...very much enjoyed this fic

Beautiful. A new twist on the mating ritual too. Thanks for sharing.

that was SOO FANTASTIC!! i can't believe it all exition overload if u can will u make a sequel but a long one so i can enjoy heaps more if not u still will rock because of this fic

I love this story. They should have done it this way on the show. Can you continue it?

That was the cutest story i have ever read! if you can, try and convince james marsters and sarah michelle gellar to do this it would be the best!

Beautiful. The ending was the best.

This story is so sweet! I really enjoyed reading it! If only that had happened on screen.... sigh! :D I am off to start work on your banner! *g*

this was a great storyline, but u should have stretched it out more, it was over too soon!! Nice tho!!

Neat idea. I've come across the mating ritual before, but this was done in a unique way

I loved this one. I hope you decide to do a sequel. That would be great. I like your take on the claiming. A couple others have taken this outlook, but most don't. I like it.
