Yay, a new Xaph story! heehee That is a purdy banner. I was surprised (before I read your Author Notes) that you'd used someone else's artwork, since your own is always awesome :D

I'm liking the story so far! It does my heart good to know Buffy misses Spike, that she's mourning for him and not just shrugging it off and going on like he didn't mean anything to her. Hmm, I'm thinking that Buffy's seeing a mirage of Spike at the end there. I'll have to wait and see

Looking forward to reading more! *smoochies*

Author's Response: Hee, well this was art-to-fic, so... You'll find out soon why exactly Spike was there. ;) Thanks for reading and commenting!

I'm on a post -Chosen Spuffy kick right now cause of the damn comics. And this looks to be really good. :) I like that Buffy got away from them all to deal with her grief. Anf if thats Spike, will it be ghost!Spike or human!Spike cause it is sunny out and we don't want burned up Spike.

Loving it so far, can't wait to see where you take it. And that banner really is gorgeous. Ta!

Author's Response: I'm glad that it's come at the right time! I am steadfastly ignoring the comics, lol. No, we don't want burned-up Spike. All will be revealed. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

This is intriguing - looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you found it so. Next chapter will be up soon. :)
