This was very sweet. Like that it was realistic with them having to figure out the age/life path differences, him being ready to settle down, and her needing to figure things out.

Wow, I loved this story. I am so glad everything ended up great with them. Thanks for the fic.

I have to say it was one of the deepest character psychoanalysis I've ever read in Spuffy realm. Good job :)

Just read the whole story in one sitting and loved it! There were many times I wanted to reach inside and literally ring Buffy's neck, but, alas that wasn't possible. Totally loved William and wish that my husband was that passionate and intense! Great job!

Loved it sweety! I'm on an AU kick it seems, don't usually read many of them, but I'm slowly making my way through your selection. :D Off to read the sequel now!

Hmmm not that I don't mind the angst but sometimes I think that given the background of some characters they are acting very strange. With his history with the married woman I find it hard to believe that William would not break up with her even if he loved her just because he's been here before, she doesn't love him and I don't think that he would want to put himself through that again.

Beyond Brilliant. This is not just an outstanding story, but a MUST READ. I was in a relationship with an older guy when I was in my late teens/ early twenties and the issues you raised in this story were so spot on. I cringed at many parts that were painfully insightful and true. The character development was not only strong and believable for the spuffy realm, but there was so much of the story that resonated with me beyond that. I think this story allowed me to see myself then and my ex in ways I never had. I love your writing and all the other stories of yours that I have read. I knew I would like this story after the first few sentences, but this continually suprised and impressed me. There were so many great scenes I had to read and reread because I couldn't get enough of them. The scenes where they had broken up, but he was still flirting with her - "your still my baby" scene - I read several times, I liked them so much. Wow. Thats all I can say. Wow. Thanks ever so.
Author's Response: I think you made me blush! I'm so glad you liked it :) I always try to make my stories as real as I can and explore what people go through in real life at one time or another. Thank you :)

Yay!!! okay, can I possibly say "yay" enough times to convey how happy I am? Probably no...pretend I filled up this entire box times three with "yay"s and then we'll be hitting close to the mark...I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!!

Date: 10/11/2006 - 12:35 am Title: Forty one
YAY!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! happy happy happy!!! ooh this is sooo excellent!!! she LOVES HIM!!! SHE REALLY LOVES HIM!!!

ooh, quite the metaphorical dream. plus Wesley and Fred are almost just as cute as Spike and Buffy. and she should have called him! he would have liked it!

aww, yay! loved this chapter! so sweet!

Date: 10/11/2006 - 12:15 am Title: Thirty eight
yay, a dinner date! stupid Faith has GOT to stop planting seeds of doubt in Buffy's mind, it's not like she needs any help in THAT direction. and Buffy and William continue to be adorable together...:-)

Date: 10/11/2006 - 12:08 am Title: Thirty Seven
ooh, they're so cute together! and Buffy is certainly wicked with making William jealous...

Date: 10/11/2006 - 12:02 am Title: Thirty six
teehee...yes, without a doubt, Spike has the touch...:-) I hope Fred and Wesley get together soon and put Buffy at ease in that department...

Date: 10/10/2006 - 11:55 pm Title: Thirty five
well, okay, I guess I get where he's going with that. he's going to give her time to find her trust in herself, and he has faith that she will come back to him once she trusts herself.

Date: 10/10/2006 - 11:47 pm Title: Thirty four
WHAT?!?!?! WHAT????? but that was such a good talk!!! why in HELL does he want them to stay broken up?? he loves her, right? is he just worried he'll keep her from living, or succeeding, or something like that? NOT FAIR!!!

Date: 10/10/2006 - 11:39 pm Title: Thirty three
well, that explains a lot. god, I can't take the Buffy and William not being together! please let them work it out soon!

Date: 10/10/2006 - 11:31 pm Title: Thirty two
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! no no no no no no!!! oh god!!! they broke up!! over a misunderstanding!!! aaaaack!!!

Date: 10/10/2006 - 11:20 pm Title: Thirty one
but like she said, William makes her feel alive--doesn't that count for something? I think Joyce hit on some majorly important points, such as the part about Buffy being afraid of the finalty of finding her soul mate. she finds falling in love scary, and she deals with her fears by pushing what she doesn't find comfortable away. like Joyce said, if she's not careful, she could push William clear out of her life. Not that I think he'd go without a fight ;-)

yay! kinks worked out. definitely feeling better. they're going to date--most certainly a good sign. and William got what he was feeling out in the open--that's important, too.

Date: 10/10/2006 - 11:05 pm Title: Twenty - nine
well, that didn't go terribly...i'm still substantially worried for their relationship, and for the fact that Buffy's all "I had fun, maybe I'll do it again!" I understand where she's coming from with the need to act her age and live a little, but then I also understand how William feels. which means, all in all, that you're a really good writer to have me all torn up about this :-)

Date: 10/10/2006 - 10:54 pm Title: Twenty eight
mmm, glad William came to rescue. can't say I'm looking forward to tomorrow's confrontation, though.

Ooh, I love the way you blended that song into the chapter (excellent song choice, too, I love Alanis!) it worked so well! Thank god they talked about things, and she really doesn't want to leave him. that makes me feel a gazillion times better. plus they won't be dating other people--that's a BIG relief.
