This story was very sweet, and the smut was pretty hot. LOVED how you portrayed all the characters, with no one being particularly assy (except for maybe Hank, and he wasn't bad). Especially loved Willow not being all über-innocent. Love her being sassy and worldly (sex with Xander, kissing Spike, teasing Spike about his erection, etc.)!

Does need some editing to correct grammar, etc., as well as some more general errors, for example:
* the Thanksgiving weekend timeline seemed off, unless I misread something. Buffy & Willow did the after-Thanksgiving sales (Friday), and then they went to the strip club that night, or was the strip club supposed to be Saturday? Because they went back to school the next day, and I'm sure that was Sunday. I missed a day in there somehow.
* I'm guessing you are not from the US, as you had the 19-year-olds drinking alcohol in bars in California. In the US, you have to be 21 to drink. Also, you had Spike smoking in the Bronze, and I'm pretty sure California has banned smoking in all bars & restaurants since 1998.
* here in the epilogue, you mention that 6 years have gone by since the prior chapter, but I'm thinking it might have needed to be more. I don't think you specified what year in college they are, but at 19 in the Fall, they were most likely sophomores, meaning as of Christmas they still had 2 years plus 2 quarters left of undergrad (if they finished on time). Law schools is at least 3 years, and med school is at least 4, so... I know, I'm being nit-picky about a fantasy story, but it just threw me a bit! =)

This story was completely fantastic, I've stuck with it for the whole series! A really great read. The sex was hot and not too crass (hehehe) and the plot was funny and engaging. There was just the right amount if angst. I applaud you.

I really really loooooved this story!

Ahh *sigh* that was beautiful.

I enjoyed the story, but I think that contasting the fluffy moments with a bit more angst would have given it better balance and made it stronger. Her confession of love to her while he was drunk did not seem like something worthy of her dramatic response. Also on a side note - to complete her education to be a pediatrician, Buffy would have finished 4 years of college and then 4 years of medical school and would officially be a "doctor" - but she would still need to go on to complete her residency (pediatrics is 3 more years) after this graduation. (sorry if that is too nit picky)

Sweet fic. :) How can anyone not like a happy ending.

This was such a great story. I really enjoyed it. I liked when Spike surprised Buffy on Christmas, it was really sweet.

Awesome job on the whole thing. :)

two words: loved it

Aw such a sweet story thank you :) I hope you continue writing. :D

awww its adorable... great job

loved the story from start till end!!

This is my favourite Spuffy story ever (and I've read a lot!) I am sad to see it end (is it too much to ask for a sequel? ;-) ) but I've enjoyed this story a lot. You're a fantastic writer, and I'm looking forward to this new story!

That was just a perfect ending. I've really enjoyed following this story and I want to thank you for all your hard work in bringing it to us. Good luck with your next project.
