Thank you so much for this beautiful story! It had so much raw emotion in it that I could actually feel the love; it made me want to cry when they cried and laugh when they laughed. Thank You!

BEST BLOODY STORY EVER!

oh my god...what a beautiful story! i liked it sooooooooooo much!

awwwwwwwwwwwww very sweet.

A just reward after such a tortuous learning curve for both of them. Really enjoyed this one.

I nominated this story at Love's Last Glimpse Awards. You really deserve it because this is such a great story and it's very rare that stories make me cry but yours did many times. It is going to be a classic in the Spuffy fanfiction!!!

just a great story from beginning to end. I am so glad that Buffy took the time to get to know Spike and he had the guts enough to give her a chance. Great story again from beginning to end.

wow! what a fic. What's next thought. gonna answer that wulfie challenge u mentioned on tag looong back?

Wonderful story, JL. Thanks.

I loved it! ::cheers::

This whole chapter was just beautiful. I loved the sweetness of the claim and how there was no hesitation in Buffy about her trust in Spike nor her desire to be with him forever. Thank you for such a great story. :)

Thanks for a beautiful, wonderful story--loved every chapter! Now you have to start another one!

It was a long ride and I enjoyed every minutes. Thank you for this beautiful story.

What a great ending and fantastic story!! I look forward to more of them from you and will check often. Thanks so much for giving me short escapes from the ordinary life.

Nice touch.  I liked that Spike initiated the claim with her, rather that suggesting it, and waiting for Buffy's approval, beforehand. Simply asking, insead, "Do you trust me?"  I thought that went a long way toward wrapping this fic up, nicely.  Thanks for the fun read. :)

beautiful ending to a tense emotional tale. thanks for the great read.

Always and joy and a sorrow to see such a good story reach its end. Thank you.

Wow, that was WOW!!!! Such a great, emotional story. I was seriously crying in some chapters, you're such a great writer. The synopsis is just a simple sentence, and I didn't realise what a great story it was representing. A great plot and wow, it's one of my favourite stories now officially. At times you had me with conflicting emotions, whether to be on Buffy's side or Spike's side. Glad it ended well. I read it all in one go and it was an amazing read. Love it!!! I could go on praising your story forever. Thanks so much for your work.

Great story and beautiful ending.

ok, my heart's a gooey puddle now. This was such a cool fic. I wanted it to never end!

Beautifully written. What a lovely tale of trust. Too bad it couldn't have happened on the show.

I didnt even realize this was the last one until I saw the Epiloque as the title while writing this review. Such a beautiful chapter, and it just goes to show what we will be missing from story now that its done.
For a while in this story, I was scared that it was going to be hard to make good what had happened in the beginning without, dare I say it, pissing me off royaly or going absurdly out of character. Congratulations, I'm glad to say you proved me wrong. I am also glad to say that I will see you again with Blood Bound, as I have trouble seeing myself without my morning dose of JL writing. Great Job:D ... but I'll miss it so:(

I really enjoyed this story. It went places most don't, and it did it very well. I'm looking forward to your next effort.

Well, I'm sad the story isover,but I am glad with how you've ended it. I enjoyed this story very much, and only hopeyou have another idea in your head for another great story.

Wow! I'm sorry to see the story end, but then that's always the mark of a great tale. Excellent, excellent excellent!

oooo Bitey, claimy Spuffy! YOU ROCK!

Awwww.....we got really lovey-dovey at the end.

EEEEEEE!!!! Happy ending!! With sexy claim-y goodness!! Yay!!
