that was beautiful

for a beautiful, strong, amazing woman, you are one bloody insecure bint

What a fine resolution to this horror story! Buffy's ability to know herself by the end of this (with a little help from her friends) is so satisfying.

This is very difficult stuff, and easy to get wrong, but I think you got a good handle on the issues, and were able to believably present it from the characters perspective.

¡Yay! Meta-fic.

This was very good, EXCEPT that the ending shouldn't've happened yet! Lovely Spuffy!

ohhh...how sweet! i really liked how it ended.

Excellent story. Sure with it had gone that way on the show. Even a fraction!

Very enjoyable.

Wonderfully beautiful! I thoroughly enjoyed it. My top 10 definitely...

very good way to end the tale. love the lines: “The problem was never you, love. It was your taste in men. Which has improved tremendously, I might add.” fun read, thank you.

Beautiful, just amazing.

 Great story. Sooooo much better than leaving him in the alley.

I really loved his speech about how she would be his girl no matter what. Beautiful.


I did find one typo in the last chapter:  "Buffy slowly became award of the difference..." 

 Aww, beautiful, tender ending. I loved reading this story, and am looking forward to reading yet more from you!

awwwwwww.... tht was so cute!
ok, except the ending line, ur a/n, kinda shoved a lil nasty reality into my perfect world life moment.
but, twas WONDERFUL!

Oh lovely....she even said I Love You without saying it and Spike is smart enough to have gotten the message as she called out her Stupid secret revealing body.

This was amazingly tender and sweet.  The tickling and teasing were something new between them and broke a few of her  barriers I'm thinking and that helped her to finally see wha they have as more than meaningless sex.

Love that she had the sense to understand his jealousy.  I think Riley and Angel's history with HIM had as much to do with his jealousy on the show as their relationship with her.  Angels past with him and Dru made Buffy's love for him even more unpalatable and Riley's involvement with the Initiative had to rub raw wounds too. 

Lovely tie up that makes that beat down bareable.  It was never even mentioned on the show and that was many shades of wrong.

Very in character for Spike to be the one apologizing in the midst of HER apology LOL.  You really do a great job of showing them as their true selves.  Brava.

Love that ending - great to have Spike get those words at the end instead of the other vampire -

Very Nice Piece and lovely Spuffy beginning for future -

"As if I’m not going to remember hurting you like this for the rest of my life."

A lesson that Buffy needed never to forget -

Just a teensy disappointed not to get the bitey claimy climax, but this is certainly the way I would like the situation to have been resolved.
Very nice, thanks.

Oh - so sorry to see over so soon! Was looking forward to more.  You did end it on a lovely note though.  Many thanks, as always for sharing!
