I like the fic. I like that there are a hints about Spuffy !!! But sorry, I think Buffy looks a little shallow here. She talking just like Buffy in S 1- S 3 . But after S 4 she become more serious and mature young women. I`m a little sad that in comic style Buffy acting like a little schoolgirl sometimes, like in early seasones. I`m sorry if this post is repeat. I try to post my answer, but I forgot to log in my account, so I didn`t know if it was posted.

It's lighthearted, specifically meant to capture the flirtatiousness of her characterization in the preview page.

So the preview and the fic are meant to match in tone.

As for Buffy's character, she is lighthearted when she has been oft serious and even lost to doldrums of late. However, she's also been relieved of a great burden, she's working a job, she's making new friends (something she hasn't done since season 4, note! take note!) and she's happy about her life prospects in a way she hasn't been since the early stages of Season 5

Aw, very sweet. I like how she's not lying to herself at all about how much she wants Spike.

Thanks! I like my Buffy large and in charge. :D

Hee! Great fun. Good to see Buffy starting to feel and act like herself. :)

[angearia]

It is, isn't it? More fun for Buffy, I say!

This is adorably Buffy! I cannot get over how flirty her body language is in those frames. Nor can I get over how EXCITED I am about Buffy being the pursuer. So. EXCITED.

[angearia]

Yay! And I know, her body language is screaming I'M INTO YOU.

WE SO EXCIIIITED

do you have any idea how many iced mocha frappuccinos I had to make to buy this top? Of course you don’t know, no one wants to know, I wish I didn’t know - HAHAHA! Loved this line!

This was fun, even for someone who hasn't read all of season 8! Great Buffy voice. :)

One of the many wonders in life is Buffy's ability to go off on a hilarious tangent -- ramble, ramble, I say!

Thanks. :)
