You squarely hit those points!   I got a sense of complete love enveloping the room in this epilogue.  It's a really nice way to end things.

Really good story, thank you for entertaining me

loved this so much...perfect!

very good "first ever challenge response." thanks for the enjoyable read.

That was so good! If only that actually happened. I loved that Xander was not a mediator per se, but he wasn't a total dickhead as he is usually portrayed in other stories. Although I do believe he would have been a bit more bigoted in reality; I liked the idea of everyone having to grow up over summer. Plus I love the Xan-Man :P. Spike characterisation was great as was Buffy's. Warren, Jonathan and Andrew try to attack while Buffy's guard is down, but Warren and Jonathan drown... lol I'm kinda glad that you left this one out,  it would have cheapened the effect you brought to your story. Well Done!

Very nicely done! Thank you for all your efforts to get this out in a timely manner. I absolutly love when a story, or author that I am enjoying is so prolific with the words! You are one of the great ones, can't wait to read another.  I really loved the cozyness of Spike and Buffy on the basement stairs, nice touch, very reminicent of the back porch on BtVS. Thanks again, N

I really enjoyed your story.  Thank you.

So glad you're back, I enjoy your stories so much!  Keep up the great writing!  This one was soooo sweet!

Great ending. I'm glad her friends found out the truth. I would love it if you did another challenge of mine. I loved this so much.

I enjoyed it immensely; thanks for sharing! Great job on your first challenge!

aww... what a cute ending. i like it. everything turned out pretty darn close to perfecto. beautiful job! as always... ^_^

What a nice story! Just the right mix of angst, romance and friendship. I really enjoyed it, and I'm sorry it's over, I looked forward to each new chapter.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Brilliant addressing of nearly every item on the challenge!  (the only way you could have done the last one that I could see is have the trio be the cause of the storm *G* and get hoist by their own Petard.)

I loved every chapter and this epilogue is such a sweet version of the truth telling.  This is how it should have gone to prevent further trauma.  I think Willow would have healed much faster and kept from the darkness and magic abuse had it gone down this way.

Another wonderful story to add to your already impressive catalog!  Congratulations.  You are turning into one of the best of the "new"
Verse authors rapidly.
