Title: Chapter Six: Epilogue
How would you do a sequel when you brought the characters full circle so poignantly?! Of course I would want to read a sequel but I think it would spoil the crescendo of emotion struck by Buffy's note. Although, given how well this story was crafted I bet you could do it without spoiling the comleteness or elation I found in this piece.
Author's Response: Thank you for the vote of confidence! Heh. Like you, I'm not really sure how I'd continue this story, but maybe inspiration will strike when I least expect it. But your kind feedback warms my heart. Thank you so much.

After reading 'Dear Departed' which I loved, I went straight to this fic and as expected, was not disappointed. I liked it ever so, and would very much care to see the 'kinda sorta sequel'. You're a wonderful writer!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :-) The "kinda sorta sequel" is not much, but I hope it pleased ever so slightly. Thank you for the lovely feedback.

As many others have already said, this is an excellent Buffy/Spike reunion story, and it absolutely SCREAMS for a sequel. Between the events of "Unfinisher Business" and "Second Verse" there should be a story (or more) in which the alleyway battle is won, our heroes return to Rome, and, of course, where Spike kicks a certain Immortal ass up and down each and every one of Rome's seven hills and into all three of its rivers.
You have my sincere gratitude for the enjoyable time you spent in the creation of these stories, and the time you devoted to them. Thank you, and I look forward to reading many more of your stories in the future.
Author's Response: I can't tell you how much I appreciate such thoughtfull feedback. And I love your ass-kicking scenario for the sequel. I might just borrow it, if you don't mind. Lol! In the meantime, thank you so very, very much.

Great story. Loved the letter from Dawn and this follow up. It was fantastic to leave this ending as hopeful yet incomplete, but I would so love to read the sequel. Thank you for finally allowing him to accept that she did love him in the end. I was really happy that she stuck by him and left that teasing note for him. It was all very well done. Thanks!
Author's Response: I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, especially the ending. Thank you for the very thoughtful feedback!

Title: Chapter One
AnnaPurna has written one of the best reunion fics I've read to date. Of special note, the counselling session between Spike and Angel, Dawn's letter, and the twist in the tail. "It had to be a dream, of course. He’d thought as much when he’d opened the door to find her standing there. Just the latest in a line of sleep-induced fantasies playing out in his head on a near-nightly basis. Never real, never lasting. Each time, he awakened to a barren room, a lonely bed. Each time, he lost her all over again."
Author's Response: Oh, my. That's lovely praise indeed. I'm blushing, but I love it! Heh. Thank you. I'm especially ecstatic over your mention of the scene between Spike and Angel. I really enjoyed writing that part. Along with the Spuffy, too, of course. ;-) Thank you again.

I LOVED IT! What a wonderful little tale and sequel? OF COURSE A SEQUEL! Buffy and Spike have to have a happily every after. And Spike has to make up with dawn. So yes, please, a sequel would be wonderful!
Author's Response: I'm so pleased you loved it! Thank you! :-) I also hope you enjoy the little sequel tidbit I posted. Consider it a tiny appetizer for the real sequel-to-come, which of course will include a Spike and Dawn reconciliation. Heh.

Great story. And regarding the "kinda sorta sequel"? To quote you, "Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease".
Author's Response: Lol! Oooh, using my words against me, eh? Very cheeky, not to mention extremely effective. ;-) I do plan to pick up where the story left off, more or less. But in the meantime, I hope you'll also enjoy the "kinda sorta" sequel I posted. And thank you so much for the kind encouragement!

Nice to see Spike and Buffy all grown up - not in an uber dependent relationship but each their own selves. But of course still with the spuffy lovin'. Sequel would be good but got to be careful to find conflict outside the Spuffy coupling, otherwise their personalities would be going backwards and that always makes be want to slap them (lol) however stories need conflict otherwise they are boring. Good luck and I'll be looking out for your next offering.
Author's Response: You are so right about the sequel. It's like you're inside my head and reading my thoughts! Heh. As soon as I began to think about writing something that picks up where this story left off, my mind was going a mile a minute trying to think of an external source of conflict or driver. Because, yes, their major internal issues were pretty much resolved in this story. Not to say that new internal issues couldn't develop, but I favor the external variety in this instance. Of course, the "kinda sorta sequel" cheats a little bit and sidesteps the issue since it's not a "true" sequel. But maybe it will do until I'm able to tackle the real thing. In the meantime, thank you so much!

*Raises hand* I want the kinda sorta sequel! Spike is such a softie not wanting Angel to possibly go to his death with a broken heart. Excellent story. I've decided that this is actually what happened between the poetry slam and thy fang gang taking down the circle of the black thorn.
Author's Response: Well, that makes two of us, cuz I know it happened exactly this way. Silly Joss, thinking he could fool us by keeping it all off-screen. Tsk, tsk. So glad you've joined me in my little world. I feel much less lonely now! Heh.
