pj! I remember wishing one of your stories would be finished seriously about a decade ago. Amazing. I just tried an old password I used to use and amazingly got in too. Memories!

“You even have to ask? Of course it’s you. I have no doubt it would have been you even before I ever met you."

Lovely. Such emotion. Always the push pull with them. Glad they tied at the end. :) Thanks for sharing.

This was very lovely, but I wish Buffy had been braver before you ended it. Seems she's still short-changing Spike, isn't she?

luved this story wished there was more

Author's Response: I was thinking about doing a sequel, but I'm pretty sure I've told all there is to tell. I've dealt with the Scoobie issues, had a Dawn/Spike reunion and brought Buffy and Spike together in a way that makes me happy. Plus, I couldn't really use the Mirror anymore and that was the plot (and kind of main character) of this story, so the sequel would have to be something else entirely. I will write other stories, but this one is actually over. Thank you for reviewing! :) Acajou

The ending felt right for this story.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you think it fits. :) Acajou

Very nice ending. I'd be interested to know where you had originally been heading. I know only too well how the characters tend to go off on their own and take you somewhere that you had never envisaged.

Author's Response: Well, I was originally going for a very, very sappy happy ending, where Buffy looks in the Mirror and finds Spike (without Dawn tagging along) and tells him she loves him (in one to three chapters, it was, after all, just a little idea). But that really didn't work out and there was so much more going on there that I needed to deal with. So I eventually gave up and just let the characters do what they wanted. I had really intended to have Buffy tell him she loved him, even in front of the Mirror (I had to bring them back there, because symmetry dictated it, as well as the desire to show that Spike actually sees her in it), but she just wasn't ready, even after I gave her two more chapters and a lot more room for character development than I had intended. But ultimately, I prefer it that way, because lets the story end on a hopeful note and something to look forward to in Spuffy's future and not with the perfect happy ending that's too sappy to be true and can't really be the beginning of anything. :) Thank you so much for reading and for your continuing reviews. I appreciate them very much! :D Acajou

Reviewer: magnus374 Signed Date: 03/23/2012 - 03:26 am Title: Chapter 4

A good chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'll have the final one up soon! :) Acajou

Reviewer: Dawn Anonymous Date: 03/16/2012 - 12:17 pm Title: Chapter 3

Can I just reach in your story and slap Buffy! Perfect reunion, as much as we'd all love to the hugs and smoochies, that is not them, and you nailed it. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Haha, I felt the same way! :P Buffy made me go in an entirely different direction than I had intended and I'm really glad you agree that this is better than an instant happy ending. :) Thank you for reviewing and I hope you enjoy the next chapter, which should be up soon! Acajou

Reviewer: magnus374 Signed Date: 03/16/2012 - 04:36 am Title: Chapter 3

A very good work on the reunion. It didn't go well but it felt right. The thoughts and actions felt in character.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you're supportive of the direction the characters wanted to take. :) You're awesome for reviewing! Acajou

Reviewer: Allegra Anonymous Date: 03/15/2012 - 05:24 pm Title: Chapter 3

Oh my lord, I'm sobbing! This was heartbreaking and yet perfect. As absolutely miserable as it made me it might be the most realistic take on a post-NFA reunion given who Buffy is and how she acted in the past. Please Please Please post more soon :)

Author's Response: I can honestly admit yours is the review that has made me happiest out of all the ones I received for this story. It feels amazing to know you can touch people with your words and make them feel as strongly as you just said it did. :D The next part should be up soon, although it will be a couple of days at least. Again, thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the rest! Acajou

Reviewer: All4Spike Signed Date: 03/15/2012 - 12:52 pm Title: Chapter 3

Oh, how very awkward - and how true to the characters. Dawn really should have knocked B&S's heads together...

Author's Response: True, true. Dawn was my savior in this scene... I really wanted to make them do the happily ever after thing during this scene, but Buffy didn't want to and Spike really wasn't ready either. So you'll just have to wait until they get their heads out of their respective asses. :P Btw, I left you a review for your Buffy in coma story (Sorry, don't remember the title right now) and it was really long and detailed, but I think it got deleted seeing as I left it during that wacky time when The Spuffy Realm didn't work too well. I don't want to write it again... Either way, I really loved the story! :D Thank you for your review! :)

Reviewer: magnus374 Signed Date: 02/14/2012 - 04:46 pm Title: Chapter 2

Good work on how the characters could have moved on with their lifes. Buffy suddenly having several loves seems a lot out of characther though, but that's just a minor thing.

Author's Response: I'm not completely sure what you meant about Buffy having several loves. If you meant the part where I wrote she had had different lovers since the destruction of the Hellmouth... Well, it has been a few years since then and while I get where you're coming from (if that is what you meant), I thought it fitted into where I went with the character. The Buffy in my story is a very lonely, isolated person because she can't seem to let anybody get close to her. Plus, seeing as I haven't seen whom they made her hook up with on 'Angel', I went with what I read in fanfictions about The Immortal and added to it the fact that he wasn't special and that neither he nor anyone else could fill the void Spike had left. You're right, Buffy isn't one to sleep around, but that's not what I meant with it. Call it loneliness, call it trying to move on, call it failed beginnings of relationships. (Btw those are all post-your-review-thoughts; you really got me thinking! I didn't think much when I first wrote it, but taking a closer look, I'm still satisfied this is the setup I need for the Buffy in this story.) Thank you for your review and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. :)

Very realistic reactions all around. Looking forward to see how you arrange the Big Reunion - 'cos there is going to be a Big Reunion, isn't there?

Author's Response: Thank you! This story has basically written itself so far, so I'm really glad you agree about the way the characters would behave. :) And yes, there will be a Big Reunion. Once I finally manage to make that third chapter work. :P

Reviewer: All4Spike Signed Date: 02/10/2012 - 09:23 am Title: Chapter 1

Well, of course it's Spike. Very good start, can't wait to see where you take it.

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I hope you'll like where I'm going with this story. :)

Reviewer: crazylife Anonymous Date: 02/07/2012 - 05:13 pm Title: Chapter 1

Wow! Great first chapter. My personal opinion is that the mirror will fit in perfectly. I'm eagerly waiting to for the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you! I think the Mirror of Erised is an incredibly likely object to magically pop up in the Buffyverse, I'm glad you agree. :P

Reviewer: 123Sonja Signed Date: 02/07/2012 - 03:01 am Title: Chapter 1

Wow! This is really interesting, unusually fresh and written well. A great opening chapter. You have given all the characters a context indicating how well everyone appears to be moving on which clearly focuses the story line on Buffy and her heart’s desire. Congratulations, a truly potential great spuffy story in the making. You have me hooked and I am eagerly anticipating regular updates.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the first chapter. I couldn't help myself and gave the other characters a bit more of a say in the second chapter, though. I hope you still find it interesting. The story is about Buffy and her way to getting over herself, but the Scoobies were just so much fun... I wasn't going to, but they begged me to write them. :P
