LOVED this story! I really like your style of writing. It was very sweet but not in anunrealistic-cheesy way. I'd love to read a kinda-sequel when they meet again. Could you do that?:)
Thank you, I'm glad that it came across as realistic and I appreciate hearing that. A lot of readers have been asking for a sequel, and this is what I have to say about that...
I would like to revisit this Buffy and Spike someday, but I'm not going to just jump in and write a sequel right now. What I would like to do is come up with an idea for a story, with its own plot and own purpose, and have the Spike/Buffy unfold during the events of this story. Not a classic sequel, (more like a kinda-sequel, as you put it), but a story all its own set somewhere in the future of this 'verse.
Again, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed this story.

Nice bit with the ring and I liked the way you just had a breath of romance and dodged it. Very nice piece.
Yes, "a breath of romance" -- I like that description. That was the idea, just a hint of possibility between them without taking that actual step, since that wasn't the point of the story. Thank you for commenting on that and I'm glad you enjoyed this! Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Perfect. Simply perfect. You captured Buffy beautifully at that age and that moment in her life, and then nudged her forward in such a subtle and natural way that the girl at the end of that night is not quite the same girl we saw at the start of the story. Both she and Spike evolve in the space of a few hours, just enough. More would be too much in such a short time, less would leave them in a less hopeful place. There's something especially poignant about her thought that Spike knows how to say goodbye. Would love to see more of this universe sometime, at whatever point you might choose to pick it up.
First of all, I want to thank you for your detailed review. It's helpful as an author to hear what people specifically liked or disliked about a story, and I appreciate the feedback about the characterization and believable growth of the characters during the story.
There is a potential for revisiting this 'verse, but I have no ideas yet.

A lovely, fitting ending to this very believable story. I ached for both of them.
Very glad to hear that you found the story and the ending believable and fitting. I know lots of readers were looking for a more clearly defined "Spuffy" outcome to this, but I felt this conclusion was truer to the characters and it was never my intention to "get them together" anyway. Thank you for your thoughts I am happy that you enjoyed this little story.

Yay, they're both better off than when they arrived. And an almost kiss!
Now I want a sequel.

Yep, that was the idea -- drawing two broken hearts together for a little healing and a bit of connecting. Glad you liked it! No plans for a sequel per se, though I might want to revisit this Spike and Buffy someday. Thanks for reading!
