Title: Stave Six - Endings and Beginnings
Cutest Christmas story ever! Very well rounded and closed together neatly. Not like some stories that leave you saying: "so what happened to... What about... So there's like an epilogue right?" Great finish.
Thanks!!!
and I'm sad you haven't a recommendation list!! :,(

Title: Stave Six - Endings and Beginnings
I like the individual ghost episodes; very well illustrate the sad possibilities for Buffy. However, the writing coud use some polish. Lots of repetition makes it drag a bit, and the timing doesn't seem to make sense. Supposedly starts Christmas eve, but then then 3 visits that are supposed to happen over 3 nights but seem like they are in the same night though it's reiterated it was 3 nights , and then the next morning is Christmas. Confusing! Stody has potential, though. I like the happy ending.

Title: Stave Six - Endings and Beginnings
Okay, so I'll admit, I'm a bad reader/reviewer because I waited till it was finished so I could read it all at once! So my review for the whole story is "It's AWESOME" loved the spirits showing Buffy what we all thougth during that time, and her having to face her feelings for Spike as he died. Perfect. Thanks for the holiday treat.
Author's Response: You're welcome and thank you so much for your review! It makes me so happy that you enjoyed the story. Thanks. :)

Title: Stave Five – Return to Life
Thank you thank you thank you. I love when Buffy treats Spike nicely. And for Buffy to be able to verbally express her feelings would mean so much more to him because he knows how difficult it is for her. And because he is so open with his feelings he deserves not just to be shown but openly told. I love it. And I can't wait for her to be open about them in front of the Scoobies.
Author's Response: You're welcome! :) And thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The final chapter is on its way. :)

Title: Stave Five – Return to Life
That really was a scary future. I'm glad Buffy realized what important and told Spike she loved him.
Author's Response: She was finally able to prioritize and show Spike how she felt. I know it was pretty fluffy but I thought they both deserved a little fluffiness after everything they went through. :)

Title: Stave Three – The Second of the Three Spirits
It's good to see Buffy realizing how much she is hurting not only herself but others too. I can really see Dawn cutting herself like that based on what we saw on the show. I'm glad that Buffy sees how much Spike is hurting and loves her.
Author's Response: I'm happy you like it. :) Thanks.

Title: Stave Three – The Second of the Three Spirits
At the least the images of Dawn and Spike hurting themselves snapped her out of it. I completely understand coming back was horrible. Losing that sense of peace completeness from heaven has to totally suck. But she's here and unless she lets herself get killed she has to reengage with the world and start to live again. Her friends aren't helping and the two people innocent in all of this who love her the most are suffering the most.
Author's Response: Yeah, she's been through some tough times and hurt the people who care about her. Things will get better though for all of them though. :)

Title: Stave Three – The Second of the Three Spirits
it's sad that it took seeing him burn to actually give a damn, i wish she could have figured out that she needed him before having to go through this, but she always was stubborn. anyway, could you possibly resize your banner? it's too big and stretches out the whole page, makes it hard to read.
Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know about the banner. I've fixed it so it should be okay now. :)

Title: Stave Two – The First of the Three Spirits
Well done. Seing her past christmases made Buffy think about how her past has created the person she's now. It was an interesting parallel between her and Angel about not wanting to live in the world. Seing William and Liam made her realize that vampires keep some of what they were. And that a soul doesn't stop you from doing bad things.
Author's Response: Thank you. I wanted to show Buffy that a lot of the human personality seems to carry forward into their vampire selves so I'm glad that came across. :)

Title: Stave Two – The First of the Three Spirits
I think Buffy missed the importance of her dream when she was a kid. A blonde man with golden eyes? Hmm, could it have been Spike? Her father was a jerk and it had nothing to do with her or Joyce. Some men just cheat. If course Buffy would think Liam had been a saint and becoming a vampire had turned him into a murdering bastard. I wonder why she thought that. If that was actually the case then wouldn't Spike have gotten the same consideration? But no Spike had told everyone he was bad before he was turned so he just stayed the same when he got turned? But Angel (Liam) did a complete turn around? Just goes to show the prejudice that Spike had to fight against. Angel could never do wrong, human or souled vamp. Spike could do no right.
Author's Response: I'm happy you noticed the dream! :) I figured that as a Potential she would have had Slayer dreams even at an early age. She should have given Spike the same consideration as she did to Angel and she was so biased by the soul after Angelus that it was a real shame.
