Awesome. *claps* Buffy is so very Buffy, here, in the end.

[resolute]

Oh yay! And that's really what I was aiming for. :D

Oh, wow! This was fantastic! I haven't read any S8 yet, but I really wanted to read this, and I'm really glad I did. I love Andros, and I love how Buffy sees the parallels between his journey and hers as a Slayer.

[resolute]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this. I'm glad you liked it!

[eumelkeks]

That was well done, especially Buffy's reaction in the end.

[resolute]

I'm glad it works, thank you!

This is just wonderful. I love how in-character the Scoobies are and Buffy's moment of kinship with Andros.

[resolute]

Thank you! Getting such well-loved characters to be recognizably in character was a challenge, and I'm glad it worked for you.

Loved how tight this was.

:giggles: That's a lovely compliment for "short fic, huh!" :laughs:

Thank you! Seriously, I appreciate the compliment. Tight is a good sort of fic in my book.

Hey - short is often much harder to write than long.
