She does indeed. The angst always makes it sweeter. Lovely and sad, and just a little easier to take because I've read that story. Thanks for sharing.

That was fantastic. So sorrowful, so deep, so hopeless. This piece just oozes sadness, I don't think a comedian could read this in a happy or funny way. It's a worthy explanation of Buffy's affairs with The Immortal. It also depicts Buffy's feelings without Spike quite well. And the simple, telegraphic sentences hold such power and meaning. I especially liked the end: "Not even dust."

Oh Addie...you certainly know how to make a reader cry.

What a heartfelt and touching fic, and one that makes the rest of your post-Chosen series even sweeter.

It is so fascinating to see your empathy with the characters you write about. Once more, the words here are so carefully chosen, and the ficlet is very well-rounded. It was a pleasure to read this, last but not least for the sake of the explanation how Buffy was thinking when she spoke out the "Magic Words" and the reason why she started an affair with another man so soon.

I love this little insight, it fits perfectly into the series. I especially loved her italics, they went deep and showed her feelings, and the bitterness, and the sadness so well. Great work!

It's funny. This has angst written all over it, but yet, I sit here smiling. Maybe it's cause I know what happens next, that's most likely it. But anyway, I enjoyed this. Very good. =)

Very nice reflection on what Buffy goes thru without Spike by his side. Good one.
