WOW - totally loved this story, was such a good combination of fantasy and the series.  I so glad that you have continued to write Spuffy FF - I plan to do an image for this story and use it on our Spuffy recommends list at Buffytube.   

Tabula rasa is one of my favourite episodes, I like this story of the spell lasting longer than it should. 

Brilliant. Loved it.

Loved it! Always been a fan of Randy and Joan and what-if fics involving them. And of course, dear old Umad. :)

Lovely story.  Poor Xander.  Poor Tara.  I think Anya and Giles make an interesting couple! 

Happy New Year!

Text This was beautifully logical.  If that spell had been actually thought about in its aftermath I can see much of this being the way it would play (and if the stupid writers had done this it would have made a BELIEVEABLE reason for ASH to leave and send Giles to England).  

Isn't it interesting that in canon Giles STILL left even after seeing how far gone Willow was at that point?  Why none of them even questioned their instinctive relationships was a missed point too (just as the issue of love was ignored after Something Blue...you don't have to love to marry and S/B LOVED).

Really enjoyable story with everyone in character and a sensible story that came from them being in character.

Nice re-do of this episode - and I like that you have Giles and Anya stay together.  I really liked them together as a romantic couple after this episode.  You probably are not planning anymore for this piece but it would be really nice to have couple of sequels.  I would love to have more about Giles' trip to the COW and his new life with Anya, plus, always good to see a new vision of Xander's life. 

With all the new things happening in the comic book seasons, I found that I really enjoyed reading a story based on their past. 

Always a pleasure reading your work.

 

This has been great. The spell gave everyone a chance to interact without their issues and the memory of that time helped them deal with the old memories.

Loved it!  And I very rarely write..poor Xander.

Love all the quiet blessings they've got.  Glad Giles is doing the responsible thing and not just disappearing.  And I love Spike promising lots of fights so they can have lots of make up sex.  Always a joy when they're in on the joke, too.  Thanks for sharing!

Lovely Spuffy ending, was glad to see Giles and Anya taking the plunge too. Much better suited than her and Xander. At least he's found a male friend at last. Great fun, enjoyed it lots. 

Oh phooey. It finished
I still think Willow got off too lightly and Buffy was too soft on her, but I'm glad to see Giles & Anya together. A bit sorry for Xander, but  he and Willow can console each other.
And lovely Spuffy into the future ...

I like this break up of Anya and Xander much better! I do feel sorry for Xander, but then again I never thought they were really right for each other. Sure she might have been stuck in a teenagers body when she lost her amulet. But in a way she was much to mature for him. She had seen to much and done to much for him to live with. She needed someone stronger and he wasn't it. Her and Giles now they work. Xander, well he needed a regular girl. A sweet non-hellmouthy girl. Sure he fought the good fight but he really wanted that regular life. With the job and the apartment and the wedding. The others they weren't looking for regular.

Willow was never really sorry for the damage the spells caused just that they didn't work how she wanted or that she got found out and people were mad at her. She never thought what she was doing was wrong, she had the power and used it. No thought to the morals of doing the spell. That old saying: Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

That was so much fun... and they lived happily ever after -- pretty much.
