“As if you want romance, you bastard. Besides which, you’re the one who flaunted the magical energy earlier knowing full well the effect such would have.”

LOL
perfect ending.

Thanks! It's so good to hear that you liked the story and the ending! I can just hear Giles say that - sigh.

Hahahaha, I love their snark. And I actually really enjoyed Snape's interactions with Willow too, and Buffy living vicariously through Giles.

Anyway, I thought your characterizations were all excellent, particularly Snape's as his reluctance gave way to the realization that this could mean an actual life, if he could get over his pride enough to let it. And the stuff about the different kinds of magic was very cool as well; that's one of the sticking points with HP/Buffy crossovers, in my opinion. The magic is so very different and what do you do with that? You did it very well here, I thought.

I admit to having skimmed the sex because of how public this computer is and how many freakin' gringos I've got around me, but I'll reread once I'm home. It seemed hot, as far as I could tell!

Anyway, thanks for writing and sharing, as always. :-)

Thanks! I'm glad you like the characterizations and interactions between the characters! Yes - the magic is quite different - almost a male vs female, though I hate to perpetuate gender divisions. Can't wait to hear what you thought of the sex!

A lovely ending!

The Xander-babble is well done, and Buffy's Angora demons and worries about the naked bunnies is spot-on. I like Snape's ongoing use of the word "adequate". And the role reversal is a lovely touch! This whole story was really fun. Thanks! :)

Thanks! Poor Xander didn't get much time in this fic, but I do hope he plays an important role. I'm so happy that you liked the story and the ending! Thank you for all of your lovely reviews.

Oh, wow! This was just amazingly hot and just kickass! :) The characterizations were lovely - Willow, Buffy, the Xander, and of course Giles and Snape :)

I can't tell you how much I completely and utterly enjoyed this fic - the best way to kick off my weekend ever! :D

Thanks! It's really good to hear that you enjoyed the story and the characterizations of everyone in it! Thank you so much for letting me know.
