Absolutely LOVED reading this again - hope all is well with you.  Perfect ending!

Oh wow I just finished this story after a marathon reading session--can you go blind from reading too much fanfic?! So many twists and turns to this story, you kept me guessing the entire time! I love that Spike and Buffy get to be immortal together, enjoy traveling, and even look forward to parenthood. And your character Emma was such a delightful creation, from the meaning of her name tying into the title of your story to her blue eyes like her papa and hair like her mom. Thank you so, so much for writing such a wonderful story.

The perfect ending - thanks for this awesome series.  I've enjoyed reading your works very much. 

Two words for this story: Thank you.

Beautiful story.

Heartbreaking and wonderful.  Excellent work, as always

Loved the entire fic!  But I resent that Giles is in assisted living after only 13 yrs had passed.  He's still younger than me and I'm kicking butt everyday.   

WOW!!! That had everything. What a fantastic storyline. I found myself thinking about the chapters I had read up to after closing my computer down because it was so good and I could imagine it actually being an episode of the series. That's the power of your imaginative writing! You are very talented. If there had been further seasons and then they decided to end it on say Season 13, then that would have been a brilliant way to do it. (Obviously minus the truly sexy love scenes, well the hardcore versions anyway.) One little error I noticed was that you said Dawn had brown eyes, either in this one or in the first novel. Very sad about her :(.  

I was shocked to find out recently that James Marsters was 35 when he started off in Season 2 which is a great compliment  to him passing for 28 isn't it.  No wonder he said when Buffy finished that if Joss who had implied he was thinking of doing a Spike spin off series "Better do it in the next 5 years as he was ageing and as a vampire Spike doesn't!" When he finished he was 42!! The man looked amazing for that! Maybe becase he is not that tall and has delicate features they weathered better. He was pale and fresh looking up to Season 5 but as he lived near the sea when he had the role and tanned easily it must have been hard for him to maintain the paleness. I thought he looked rather "Well" for a vampire by Season 5! His accent was pretty good but being a Brit myself and having a Mum born under the sound of Bow Bells which makes her a proper Cockney, there were a couple of things in the accent that weren't right. Personally I was blown away by Alexis Denisoff's accent as Wesley because I had no idea he wasn't actually English. To fool a Brit that well when you're an American actor (Unless you're Meryl Streep) is quite an achievement! Sorry I hope I didn't go off on a tangent too much. It is related to Spuffy after all. ;)

Shame Joss decided to concentrate on a very confusing series called "Lost" amongst other things rather than give us a better ending than we got.

this waa a truely beautiful story.

Wow. That was beautiful! I was actually saddened by the loss of Dawn, someone I was always hoping Joss would off.

A good ending, they have found peace and  a place to call home and they will start a family.

Wow, what a beautiful ending! And I giggled that they settled down in Vancouver - yay, Canada! Any way, despite the sadness of losing Dawn (and I admit, I thought it was in-context that she wasn't brought back to life), I thought this was a lovely story, had me on the edge of my seat. Thank you!

I wasn't happy that Dawn died, but the story was still well plotted and entertaining.  You are moving up in the ranks to premier level of Spuffy.  I'll look forward to your next offering.

What a terrific ending to a fabulous story. I'm sorry I didn't comment on each chapter individually (see comment at ch24), this has been a fic with every emotion going and I really loved it. Each time I read a new fic by you I think this is my favourite but now honestly I can say I can't put them in order of preference, I love them all! Many thanks again for sharing.

What a fitting end, I loved it greatly. Thank you for writing.

Sometimes you get uber miracles... sometimes surviving's the miracle. 

Peace,

Blue

What a lovely way to end such a wonderful story!  Thank you so much for sharing this with us.  I'm looking forward to reading more from you (inbetween working of course!)

Aw, that was a lovely way to round the story off.  

I loved this story from start to finish, and the ending is no exception. It's perfect. They're happy, and together,and wanting another child because, now, the time is right. You've wrapped it all up and put a big bow on it too::))..............I look forward to anything else you write.

Loved the story. Still crying at the end though. They may have made peace with what happened but I think there is still some sadness in them for all they lost. The fact that they waited 30 years to have another child is I think proof of that. They lost so much, Dawn (still breaks my heart), Emma and the gang when they couldn't stay in Sunnydale anymore because of the memories.

Dawn was always my favorite, don't get me wrong I love this series, and I understand why you killed her off, for the emotional impact. But I miss her, I could see her travelling with Buffy and Spike and Emma. Or even without Emma, seeing the world,  learning new things, growing up and having a family of her own.

The fact that the council went 10 years without a slayer makes me laugh. You would have thought they would have tried to get her out. Granted she wasn't much of a slayer. Just because she had the title didn't make her a slayer. She only actually slayed for about a year what with going bad, spending time in prison and all. But she could have come into her own with help.

Again loved the entire series and I can't wait for your next story.
