Aww. For me? Aww. . . gonna make me cry, dammit. Don't do that. Its nearly by birthday. . . don't wanna cry on my birthday. *sniffles* I didn't want this one to end either, but hey, I know what you've got cooking (hey, I can cook bunnies, did ya know? well, plot bunnies anyway). This story was just really good and a nice way to get them all back . . . to get certain things cleared up and, well, get that happy ending I keep carping about. Thanks sweetie. Love you lots.

Awe, Proposal :)) Lovely chapter. Good answer to Angel's question: You told me once you'd always be my girl." "I did. But I'm a woman now" Loved reading it.

Oh, cute proposal! Like this chapter very much indeed. Also loved the resolution with Angel. I adore Angel, but let's face it; he and Buffy have both moved on. He doesn't always do "gracious looser" very well; even though it seems to be Cordy he's in love with these days! ""You told me once you'd always be my girl." "I did. But I'm a woman now." Buffy walked out then, into the daylight." Loved this part!

"Good, cause I'd have to kill any bloke that tried to get you away from me, and I'm not supposed to be doing that anymore."--I loved the proposal. And the references to them being engaged for four years. And the bit with Angel, that was some pretty cool closure. And Angel asked her a really good question. But, I would have liked to have a bit of a sidebar about her breakup with the immortal... and I'm sad that there's only one more chapter... But the whole thing is so darn fabuous. Wonderful job! Please, update soon!

I LOVE that last line, "I'm a woman now" That's great. Like it's finally time for her to "put away childish toys." We get to see the wedding, right?????? please?? Update soon!

I really liked the last part about how Buffy once said she'd always be his girl, but she responded that she was a woman now. That was so perfect. Great way to end the chapter.

WOW...........awesome chapter addie. i love this story and i'm very happy the shanshu went to the right vampire.....

Good chapter, sorry the story has to end. A bright ending is much better than what we had on the TV series.

Good chapter - liked the way Buffy went to see Angel and cleared things up. Glad to see she would've still chosen Spike :) Looking forward to reading the final chapter :)

I liked where it was going, send me an e-mail on what things you want to be included in the banners, and the names of the fics, and I will try to make them. I was sort of dabbling on one for your pirate fic, but it is slow going, and the awesome place I get screencaps from is having errors all the time. Also you should ask sueworld2003 at live journal if she will do it before you have me try them, she is REALLY really good at manips, way better than me, I am just starting to get the hang of it. trinityknot@yahoo.com Banner offer is open to anyone else who reads this too.

Can I just say that I totally loved this story it would have to be one of my favourite post nfa fics. It's just a shame that you cant send it to Joss, coss I really would like to think that if he ever mad a movie about Spike and Buffy meeting again after the end of Angel that it would be just like you wrote it. I've read hundreds post nfa stories and I have to say as much as I may have loved some of the others, I think this one is the closest to cannon. All the points you made about Angels decisions were extremly valid... I allways wondered why he was never there to protect her when the oracles told him that if he wasnt a vamp he wouldnt be able to protect her, I meaan what was the point of him taking the day back and staying in LA when she lived in Sunnydale.. seems to me it really didnt matter that he stayed a vamp. And I liked the fact that Willow didnt go all gushy on him like in some of the other fic's it lent to the credibility of the story. Anyway I've rambled enough... Loved it to the power of ten as I do pretty much all your work. Keep up the writting cos it brings a little brightness to our lives. Thanks.

"It's just… Whatever happened to 'I've always been bad?'" "Never said what I was bad at." So terribly endearing! I adore that they are together, and they certainly seemed to do it right. I love how Spike gets so uncomfortable about his human self, and how Buffy just already kinda knew. They have such a great dynamic together. And I can't wait to see what happens next! Please, update soon!

I've been away, so this is commentary on this chapter and the one before. I think you controlled the build-up, as it were, very well. I'm fascinated by the idea that it was Spike all along who was intended to Shanshu. It makes sense. And the coming together of Buffy and Spike was all the more moving because of the slow build-up of trust between them. Plus, very hot.
