This was wonderfully sad and sweet. I really liked it.

*g* Thanks for reading.

Lovely. I can envision it perfectly: Giles beating himself up, Xander beating himself up, not enough talking.

Wonderful, as always.

soft_princess May 25 2008, 23:30:45 UTC

Thank you! :D

Just popping my head in to re-affirm my love for this fic! It's wonderful, sweetie!

soft_princess May 25 2008, 23:31:25 UTC

Thank you so much, sweetie. I owe you for the encouragement. *squishes tight*

lostgirlslair May 27 2008, 18:59:03 UTC

Not at all, sweetie! I enjoyed reading it and beta-ing it! ::squishes::

soft_princess May 28 2008, 02:07:07 UTC

*squishes you more* I'm so glad you did. :D

*g* I was so much later than you, no apologies needed. :D

This is exactly the kind of story I was hoping for, and it made me very happy. (Oh, Buffy, overdoing Christmas! That's perfect. And I love that she didn't know as much as she thought she did.)

Giles is stupid. *g* But Giles does sometimes think he knows what's best for everyone--which was one thing when "everyone" was sixteen, but grownups get to make their own decisions.

And I love that the ending is happy (I am sure they will work things out, and get back together, and that by next Christmas they will be living together, because I know you ;) ) but not perfect--they have things to work out, but the story ends with them back on track.

(Andrew reciting Doctor Who plots, though, just makes me whimper, and remember I need to tag you.)

Thank you, darling. I love this. :D (And you, obviously.)

*FLAILS* I am so glad you liked it, darling. SO GLAD. *flails more* Buffy overdoing Christmas was kind of an obvious thing, Heh. At least in my head. And I knew she'd be all "lets torture everyone else with it too." :D

And yes, Giles really is stupid. *pets him* But he'll learn. At least I hope so. Heh. For Xander's sake if not his own.

The ending I had before most of the middle, because I knew I didn't want a really sappy ending, just something that gave hope that things would be fixed afterwards. :D I am glad that worked.

*FLAILS* Thank you, sweetheart. I love you too!
