what do you mean this is the end??????
brilliant as always. really really wonderful. looking forward to the one shots. loved the way you let spike walk in the sun, very clever

Author's Response: *lol* Well, it had to end someday, didn't it? And I did say there was only a chapter left. ;) It seemed like a good place for it.

Thank you so very much for your lovely review! And hopefully the one-shots will come soon to a screen near you. I'm delighted you enjoyed the bit of him walking in the sun. :D

Aww... what a sweet ending. :D The story was truly a joy to read from start to finish. Thank you for the entertaining read, Mari! *hugs*
~ I wouldn't mind reading about a love scene that took place outdoors. Just the thought of Spike getting an all over tan is all kinds of yummy. ;)

Author's Response: Awww, thank you, sweetie! I'm glad you found the story enjoyable and thanks for keeping my muse and I company throughout it.. I*hugs you tight*

Hee, your wish might come true very soon, one of the one-shots I'm planning takes place directly after the ending, right there in the meadow by the lake. ;) And I agree, Spike getting an all over tan is all kinds of yummy. *winks*

Just loved this ending. Buffy really has brought Spike out of the dark and into the light - beautiful. Really looking forward to anything else you have to share. Thank you so much.

Author's Response: Thank you, darling! You don't know how delighted I am that you enjoyed this story and that you loved the ending as well. *hugs*

Awwww, it's over? (well except for the one-shots to which I have to say a ton of YAYYYYYYs and SQUEEEEEEEEE's)

This was an incredible story, sweety, bringing forth so many emotions and a beautiful ride that I never wanted to end!

I loved this story every step of the way and I want to thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!

This was the perfect closure, and I'm more than delighted they both got the best of both worlds... the meanie in me is also more than delighted at Riley's fate, mwahahahaha!!!!

Can't wait for the epilogue and one-shots!

*hugs and squishes you and squee's in your ear*

PS. I really did nothing at all (other than get a sneak peek on the perfect night which was not altruistic, believe you me!!!)

Author's Response: Yes, it's over. *sighs* And now between you and Tina, I'm crying. So not good to have red nose and puffy eyes in the office. *sniffs*

And you did nothing at all? You made me the most lovely icon for my story and your encouragement and support from the moment we met, well, that's more than I can ever thank you enough for.

I'm ecstatic you found the ending appropriate, same as with Riley's fate. *giggles* And that you like the idea of the one-shots, especially since it was because of your suggestion that I began thinking about them. *smooches* See? More things to thank you for. ;)

*hugs and squishes you back and twirls you around the room*

PS. And again, you did, quite a bit. Thankee again, cariño!

I can't believe it's nearly over *sobs* It was so cute, and the whole 'Spike being able to walk in sunlight' thing was really unexpected! I'm going to miss waiting for these updates! oh well, it really was a great story!

Author's Response: Yeah, I can't believe it either, and if it weren't that I still have this one-shots to write I'd probably be crying my eyes out right now. Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you found that little tidbit unexpected, it had been in my head from about two thirds of the story to do it like that, to have him walk in the sunlight with Buffy. :D I'm very glad you enjoyed the story!
