NICE exchange between Buffy and Giles - 

 

Loved the scene between Buffy and Giles. How seemlessly you wound the image of Buffy and Spike's jewelery and Giles gentle words. Lovely - and quite an image.

I really liked the moment between Buffy and Giles. That he let her know he was proud of her despite not being overjoyed at all her choices. It was a beautiful moment and did highlight what the girls were missing out on by not having their own watcher.

What exactly is going on with Faith and Willow? At first I was getting annoyed at faith's attention to Spike, but then it changed so she was more about Willow. That was a match I didn't see coming, but I could see the attraction. wonder if anything will happen with it.

It's good to see Anya finding some peace and slowly rebuilding a life for herself.

I like happy! but as long as they stay together, I don't care how much shaking you do! It does make it more interesting, but I still like happy. Again I say Ick! Willow and Faith? Really loved Anya's letter to Xander, what a sweet thing for her to do. Happy you've given her more purpose since he's gone, and I love how easy Spike and Buffy are together, a relationship better than any others. Eager to see who's coming to SunnyD. Wonderful chapter, thanks.

I loved the French lesson. Faith admitting to herself that she feels that what is Buffy’s is hers was interesting. I liked the look at Anya and how her new job is helping her cope. I liked Buffy’s talk with Giles and her thoughts about not wanting to disappoint him but that she wouldn’t give up Spike for him.

vert good read, thank you.

The conversation with Giles was really well done.

Two girls with problems gravitating towards each other -- could be tricky!!

mmm...that last little musing of buffy's...can we see that in a slo-mo replay please? ;) lol...and i can't wait to see where you take this story from here, love, great job :)

Faith and Willow? Hm ...Interesting pair...

Love this story. Faith & Willow? Didn't see that coming, but it's a nice touch. Much better than the obnoxious Kennedy! Can't wait for the next update.

I like how Giles is beginning mto see the good in Spuffy, however reluctantly.

As always an excellent update. Can't wait for more.

That was a wonderful chapter. Faith's inner struggle, Anya's grieving, the touching scene between Giles and Buffy... All so very nicely done.

Funny nose? What's Faith been smoking? Not so subtle hints that she's leaning towards Willow...can't see her going that way very long though..the girl likes to drive stick. ;)

Nice Buffy/Giles scene. Very touching.

Totally funny with Spike distracting her from her French homework, too.

And I loved the spot on Anya...writing to Xander is perfect...and it's good to see her eating.

Even without a lot of ramping action, I am really enjoying how you are conducting the writing of this fic (that making sense to anyone outside my brain?). The whole Faith/Willow/Spike thingy is interesting. They all have quite a bit in common, yet the way they act is all quite different. I've often wondered what was going through the mind of Faith when it came to that basement scene with Spike, and you've given some cool insight into that as well as Willow news. Great job, and I hope you were able to follow what i was trying to say in this review:P Can't wait for more:)
