I love this story.

I love that you took the time to delve into Buffy and Spike's respective problems and thoughts before even getting them in proximity. I love that you created a likable villain you feel sorry for. I love that you weren't afraid to destroy Spike's perfect body in a hideous way most of us don't dare. I love that there was some angst on both sides about the other not loving them anymore. I love the way they did manage to say 'I love you'. I love the magical aspects of the story, the elements in the binding and especially the reading of the stones. I love that you are one of nowhere near enough writers to realize how important Dawn is to Spike and vice versa.

Oh. And I love sane Dru. She's creepier that way. :)

Xander's not really the most interesting character in my book, but I like that you made him grow up. It's interesting which ways his character might be able to go.

About Giles: I do agree that he has been treating her wrong and that Buffy should start standing up to him, but it does fill me with grief to think they will never have their unique father-daughter bond again. I don't know where you're planning on taking this story where that is concerned, but I would like for them to find a way to start over. (Yes, sappy me.) And he better not give Spike any shit.

Thank you for doing a great job and I hope you will update soon.

Author's Response: This may be one of the best, most thorough, and certainly most rewarding reviews I've received for the story so far. Thanks so very very much. Hopefully you like the things I have planned as I reach the conclusion of this story, and hopefully today's update (good timing, btw) satisfies your craving. Cheers!

I've been very bad not posting comments on a fic that I love so much. It has been heartbreaking to read what they have both had to suffer through but hopefully things are going to get better for them now. I really love and enjoy your writing and I promise to be better about posting reviews in the future. Thanks for sharing this with us. More soon please.

Author's Response: I'm so glad every time I see a reviewer who is delurking for the first time to post their thoughts. It's very flattering, and for that, I thank you! So glad you're enjoying the story.

I'm glad that Buffy called Dawn first. Buffy had to ask the question, to make sure that Dawn was in the dark, just as she was. But I can understand why Dawn was so upset. It's funny that the hardest fights for Buffy seem to be emotional monsters rather than the fangy ones. I also loved that Spike was there for her as well. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Yeah, Buffy is great at Slaying, not so great at the everyday stuff. She may not have needed Spike as much as she thought she did - he's right that she is stronger than she realizes - but he will always have her back.

Been pretty rough on Spike physically since Buffy and Xander rescued him.. and for a while I thought he was going to have to endure a Buffy that was going to be a slave to the feelings of said friends..
Glad to see she has talked to Dawn and see resolute to being with Spike.. for now..
enjoyed

Author's Response: This Buffy may not have realized it yet, but she's already completed the hardest, first step toward independence by walking away from Giles. The other Scoobies will be easier to deal with than she expects. So glad you're enjoying.
