OMG - I'm torn between tears and happy laughter. This is a true fairy tale, but totally appropriate for the Buffyverse. I absolutely love it. *flails* I really wish I didn't suck so badly at reviews. And I love that Buffy's the hero who slays the witch.

Yay! I’m so relieved you like it. I was actually very anxious to post this as it’s kind of out there. Your comment made me feel so happy all day while I was at work. ❤️❤️❤️

It is out there - but so believable. And I like "out there" if it makes sense. (big fan of Lizzerbeathan-speaking of out there) It had a real fairy tale feel to it, and yet was very much Spike and Buffy. So yay! for writing it, and yay! for making you happy. :)

Lovely intertwining of Greek myths and fairytales. I like the voices very much, especially Oz, who feels so right, and our pair as always. The payment with flowers is a good twist too, with echoes of Celtic tales. And of course there have to be monsters to destroy, even in Paradise!

Thank you for sharing.

I tried to do some research. Glad it’s recognizable! 🥰 It was kind of fun and freeing to write though I was worried it would be too out there. And yes, there had to be monsters!! ❤️ Now that my day is done, I get to check out the other posts... which makes me happy and excited. You wrote something, right?

I did indeed - first fic for two years! It's a bit of fluff really, but nice to get writing again.

Oh wow! That was gorgeous. And moving. I’m not sniffling, honest! It’s allergies! Sniff!

Thank you so much for reading and I’m honored that it moved you! 🥰

Great job, Sandy! I really enjoyed it. I love those happy endings!

sandy_s November 13 2020, 04:01:03 UTC

Thank you so much...me, too, on the happy endings. We need happy endings right now more than ever! *hugs*

That was lovely and fit the theme perfectly -- the mythic quality so appropriate for the afterlife of our heroes!

Thank you so much! Glad it felt like a fairy tale. :o) They needed to be together and no "witch" was going to stop them.
