Pleasure reading this again - 

I love this story - I very much like how you used all of the characters -

This was great! Probably what would have happened if Joss didn't enjoy torturing all of his fans:)

Squee! very good.

 I really loved this story. I wish that it was the end of the actual show, haha. I think that the ending of the actual show was too sad and cut-off. We finally got to see the Spuffy relationship and then it was like, "Oh wait, never mind, we are just going to tease you, and not give you what you really want." Agh! haha, but I liked this ending, because it is more...open i guess. I like that you gave everyone an opprotunity(sp?) at a future. In the ending of the real series, it was kind of choppy.  This ending could go anywhere. I loved seeing Angel in it! I also liked the Drusilla part, cause she's so crazy :) . I loved the ending with effulgent. That is my favorite word :) I just found this story today, and was glad that it was already finished cause I don't know how I could have waited if it wasn't. Again, awesome story, to an awesome series

Great Second Read -

Wonderful Story - this was an excellent alternative to the series and how the Slayer Scythe was used and how The Key/Dawn brought in her power as part of the battle.  Buffy and Spike and their mating; a splendid use of that theme and for how Spike was able to survive his use of the amulet.  I LOVE you Spuffy ending and your Spuffy version. 

wow! that was AWESOME!!!... i really enjoyed it! good job!

Wow! I think I'm in love! The entire story was brilliant from start to finish, with an ending I enjoyed much more than the depressing surmise of the actual series.

At first, like Buffy, I was a bit upset with cocky and possesive nature prescribed to Spike in his realtions with Slayers, in particular her; claiming... let's say ownership before any love, but, also like Buffy, I warmed to the idea and I appreciate and value your take on each character. I think you were able to capture not just character's beautifully (especially Giles, inwhich I thought was written very well) but also present underlying themes and ideas that I believe have not been as well analysed before.

The absolute ending with Buffy and Spike was absolutely gorgeous and beautifully written:

"...reds, pinks and golds of the sunset, and how they streaked iridescently through the darkening azure of the sky. He admired the inky black silhouettes of the trees against the glowing heavens..." -- my favourite lines, and really cannot be better phrased. Well Done!

Excellent!

this is the exact end ý'd rather for spuffy

Wonderful interpretation of the elements from the series with the changes to The Key especially and The Giles-Spike relationship. Very much like your presentation of Vampire Mating Powers Transfer - makes a neat solution to the limits of both Spike and Buffy. Using TRUE LOVE as the foundation, and limitation to it's use, gives the ritual a beautiful and romantic quality while also making it specific to Spike and Buffy. Would like to have had a little more to the climax with Dawn in "The Key" form - but I really liked how she finally given back her Key Powers. Not having Dawn in Key Form resolved in the series was one of the themes that I was really hoping for.

Very Much enjoyed reading your story -

Can O just tell you how much I loved this season 7! I really wish it had ended this way :)
