| I thought it was very good and I think it was the right ending. I cried a couple of times during the whole thing...it was really moving. Great writing! |
| lux | 05/13/2006 07:57 am |
an aftermath ficlet would be great for this. reactions of the scooby gang...
otherwise i like it. Gathered - if you had done the character death warning thing - it wouldn't have changed a thing.
nice read.

| Athenewolfe | 04/13/2006 09:44 pm |

| I've enjoyed this story, which was well written and well crafted. In the end, I'm sad for Buffy, that she lost all hope and gave up on life. I'm sad, too, for Joyce, who will live forever with unbelievable pain. |

| awwww... poor buffy and poor spike for having to watch.. *wipes a tear* |
| Lou | 04/10/2006 04:23 am |
| Unexpected - but it did match the tone of the fic and was completely believable. Nicely done. |

| I was reading evryone else's reviews after I posted mine, and I also think that an epilogue would be great. Maybe her funeral, how everyone reacts to her death, how they deal and try to move on. |
| Nikkole | 04/09/2006 07:34 pm |
| WOW! That was very powerful, and very sad. YOu write it beautifully. I have to say, when it said she flicked the scissors across her wrists, I was completely NOT prepared for that. It made me jump in my chair. Thank you for writing this story and sharing it with us. I hope to see more from you soon. |

| I really really loved this story, but there has to be an epiloge, or something! Please, please, please. |

| claire | 04/09/2006 03:39 pm |
| hey i have been reading your story over at sinister attraction and then i found it here and that u ad finished it here. i loved ur whole story & i think this was a great way 2 end it. ' crying my eyes out '. beautifully written. shows that it was very well thought out. good job!! |

Hmm maybe you should name this story...when interventions fuck things up more than they already are....I really think that you got that part right...the judgemental things with the way the scoobies always tried to tell her what was right and wrong with her personal life could probably make her comit suicide if she was already depressed as she was in this story....the feeling of being completly alone...however I would probably think that she would have done "suicide by demon/vampire".
As I already started a nice epi or another chapter with all the reactions after her suicide would have been nice....I can just see all the guilt and the blaming that would go around. |

| I must admit that you had me sobbing with this chapter. Buffy’s actions made it start, but what really did it was Spike, who by this time wanted nothing more then to save her, and who could no longer get to her. She was so lost, in so much pain that she couldn’t ever see any other way to free herself. I really should have seen this coming, it was so true to your story and everyone’s reactions to her when they found out about Spike would have had to be so completely different for there to be even the possibility of a different outcome. This whole story has been very beautifully written and in this chapter you did another fantastic job. |

| That was a very moving story, and I her death at the end was not a disappointment to me at all. It sort of fit there. ::puts in favorites:: |
| SpaceLord | 04/09/2006 05:09 am |
Wow....not the ending I would have expected. Good really good IMO but not expected.
Would have liked an epi to see how this would have affected Spike after....would it change him completly?
I'm thinking that would be an interesting story to tell. |
| Cewcew | 04/09/2006 01:45 am |
Waaa Waaaa  soo totaly sad. Butifuly writen thow, an a total tear jurker. |
| UncagedMuse | 04/08/2006 10:48 pm |
| It was very beautiful. Yes, I'm bawling and really wasn't expecting her death and Spike being there to witness it but it was still one of the best stories I have ever read. |
| vladt | 04/08/2006 09:37 pm |
| really loved the tale. do feel that an epilogue, spreading the guilt to those who earned it, would not be inappropiate. loved the read, thanks |
| Jess Marie | 04/08/2006 09:18 pm |
| Gah, been a long time since a story made me cry. |
| idk5743228 | 04/08/2006 08:27 pm |
| I was truly all ready to blast away for not putting the character death into the summary. But, I probably wouldn't have read the ending. I'm usually about the fluffy/spuffy. I've read and loved this story from the beginning. The ending was beautifully written and obviously well thought out. You stayed true to the story. Thank you for an exceptional story. |
| Always_jbj | 04/08/2006 08:11 pm |
| Gah... just saw 'Richard's' review... don't you just LOVE it when readers tell you where you are or were going with your own story!? *rolls eyes* |
I know, right? Jeez. But still thanks for reading and reviewing. Glad you liked it at least.  |
| Always_jbj | 04/08/2006 08:08 pm |
| *sniff* Sad but brilliant ending! I am glad you didn't put a character death warning on... it really would have ruined the ending. I feel so sorry for Spike I think in his own way he really did love her and to watch her die and be unable to even go to her would have been so hard for him. Fabulous angsty story, thank you! |
| Leslie | 04/08/2006 07:55 pm |
| I hated the ending, but at the same time it was appropriate. I'm glad you stuck with your original intentions. |
| Fran | 04/08/2006 07:19 pm |
| *Sobs* How can I be disappointed or hate you for giving us such a beautiful story? |
| Lilachigh | 04/08/2006 06:45 pm |
| I’ve followed this from Chp 1 and loved it all the way. You write beautifully. I wasn’t sure how you were going to end it, although must admit I never suspected this. I’ll go away and have a good think about it. At present it worries me because basically she gives in and that’s not what she or anyone should do. |
| slaymesoftly | 04/08/2006 06:39 pm |
| Whoa! You are going to get blasted for not warning, I'll bet. But it really is good that you didn't give it away - and in retrospect, there was nothing happy or even particularly hopeful about the story, so you did set it up so well that there shouldn't be too much shock. I was surprised, but found myself nodding my head as I realized there was going to be no last-minute saving of the Slayer. Very well done. |
| just sue | 04/08/2006 06:11 pm |
| Bravo! A shock but in keeping with the tone of the story from the beginning. Happiness seemed fleeting for poor Buffy and all too easily shattered by reality. Strangely I think that Spike would truly have made the effort if he'd thought she would do this. How else could he be so devastated at the end? A brave choice and I salute you. Thanks for the ride. Next ne a little more upbeat maybe? *hugs* |
| Missus_grace | 04/08/2006 06:11 pm |
| I've been reading this story from the beginning and was drawn into it quickly. I love fluffy endings, so it is a bit disappointing, but you are a great writer. Thanks for sharing! |
| MarzBar | 04/08/2006 05:53 pm |
OMG. I hope Spike is ready to die or run.
Thank you for sharing this very sorrowful story with us. |
| CutieSaiyajin | 04/08/2006 05:23 pm |
Whoa, holy crap. Sad ending, but I think it fits.
I've really enjoyed this story. Thank you for sharing. |
| Thank you for reading. |
| bloodshedbaby | 04/08/2006 05:23 pm |
| *sobs* Ok, so didn't need the downer ending, was actually trying to get cheered up today. *sighs* Maybe a slight angst warning in an authors note for this chapter won't give it away? Because I would have stayed FAR FAR away from anything resembling angst. Great fic though, I definitely enjoyed the ride! |
You are of course right, I can't believe I forgot the angst warning! Added now. Sorry.
Still, thanks for reading |
| Richard | 04/08/2006 05:18 pm |
| Well, that was pretty scummy; not including a character death warning. And since I happen to know better, I just thought I'd share with everyone else that it is NOT true "this is where [you]'ve been going with the story the whole time". |
| Actually, it is. How would you know better? I don't even know you. |
| redwulf50 | 04/08/2006 04:29 pm |
| Beautiful, ity fit the tone of the story so well. Anyother ending would have cheapned the impact of the story. It was brutal, it was painful, but in the end it rang true. |
I'm glad it did. I really wanted to be true to these characters in this context and in my mind it couldn't really end any other way.
Thanks for reading and reviewing. |
| spikeskat | 04/08/2006 04:27 pm |
| You're setting yourself up for this one. But, I thought it was a logical conclusion to this story. It was full of angst, and to suddenly end on a high note of fluff didn't seem quite true. (But, there's nothing to say you can't do an alternate "fluffy" ending... LOL.) Great job! |
Thank you! Yeah, I couldn't go with the fluff even if my heart was saying "Go with the fluff, go!" I knew it wouldn't ring true.
Thanks for reading! |
