I can't believe I'm actually going to call a fic this,this story's cute ^.^.I can't wait for more.


Chase chaseherchiss@hotmail.com 2006-06-01 id # 3269
Love this so far! I like the style, and pacing also! Looking forward to reading more!


Howard Russell 2006-06-09 id # 3367
I really like this beginning. I like the slow seduction better than them falling into each other's arms when they first meet.

I take it that Buffy isn't the slayer. Not that I'm opposed to an all-human AU, just that you didn't say for sure.


Chase chaseherchiss@hotmail.com 2006-06-12 id # 3426
The sexual tension/frustration level for this story is killing me...but I absolutley love it!!! I love the fact that your stories are so easy to visualize! You write with such attention to detail that my imagination doesn't have to work overly hard!

More soon please!


zigpal 2006-06-12 id # 3428
good lord, there is enough angst here to kill a horse. maybe Xander can see that Willow and Buffy are both miserable and will politely step aside. great update


Sousa 2006-06-12 id # 3429
What a selfish bastard!Grr,cotton headed ninny mugger!And don't get me started on cowardly Willow!>.

Wow, this is really good. Please update really soon.


Sousa 2006-06-27 id # 3649
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Xander shaped people can go mess around but Willow even thinks about a hot girl that Xander thinks is hot,which is everyone,then whoa!That's a no go.And great,now there's broody-forehead ridge guy,boo!


willowlover 2006-06-27 id # 3650

Much better.^.^But now I'm even more angry at Xander,if that's even possible.Angel's turning out to be an okay guy...so far.And what's with Willow practically forgetting Buffy and ignorring her?


zigpal 2006-07-03 id # 3699
sounds to me like it is about to get more complicated. I'm glad to see Buffy came back.

Whoohoo! you updated the one i voted for WhooHoo! great update :-D


Anon 2007-10-01 id # 6537
Is Willow going to tell Fred about the kiss with Buffy? Looks like it's going to get harder for the girls to live in the same room without little incadents happening. Please update again soon!


bslayed 2007-10-03 id # 6551
Great update! It's going to be really big when those girls finally do get together. I can't wait. How long can Willow keep her feelings for Buffy underwrapes. Can't wait for the next update.


Ahn 2007-10-05 id # 6562
Great update! The flukes just keep on happening. I can't wait to see who catches them. Update soon, please!


Uub 2007-10-05 id # 6563
well that update was simply bichin - excellent work keep it up... cos if you dont *shakes fist*


bslayed 2007-10-05 id # 6568
Thanks for the great update! I'm excite to see what you do next and will be waiting as patiently as I can. Of course patients is something I never really learn. Update soon!


Ahn 2007-10-07 id # 6569
I wounder who was at the door? I hope you update again soon.


Didge didge4@btinternet.com 2007-10-07 id # 6571
Ok I promised to review even though I didn't win the vote. What can I say? You're definitely on form with the drawing out of the angst & what are you going to do to poor Fred? (I like her too especially the way you write her) We'll just have to hope that you don't go on another of your long dry periods & leave us all hanging over the precipice of this story. In other words, keep the updates coming. Please!!!!


Anon 2007-10-07 id # 6577
Ok so who knocked? Was it Fred? Also at the end of the chapter it seemed like Buffy and Willow had closure on there romantic feelings. So noting all that I can't wait to see what you write next! i hope you keep the updates coming!

Howard R 2007-10-07 id # 6581
You know, I really want to hurt Xander for causing all this.


Cuprit 2007-10-07 id # 6582
Fred is sweet girl but Willow just needs to get rid of her so her (Willow) and Buffy can be happy. Good Job.


Whedonist 2007-10-08 id # 6588
While I didn't vote (yes I know shame on me 'cuz I'd like to see the CSI one updated), I had forgotten about this story of yours and had to go from the beginning and do a quick read through to catch up. So thanks for the update Rin. Stellar job as per usual.


Ahn 2007-10-09 id # 6602
So are they finally going to start working towards something or are there going to be more problems? I don't think Riley will handle it well if Buffy Breaks up with him for Willow. Can't wait for your next update.


Ahn 2007-10-09 id # 6603
2 Updates in one day, that's great. Thanks and still can't wait for more!


Uub 2007-10-10 id # 6604
wow updating Really fast now - kick ass!!! keep em coming!! BOOYAAAHHH!!!!


Howard R 2007-10-10 id # 6606
This is so sad. And I want Xamnder to suffer for making these two suffer for so many years. Makes me wish for a bit of time travel magic.


Whedonist 2007-10-11 id # 6616
All I have to say is please, oh pretty please, don't let Xander do something stupid..he's known for it, in fact, I think it's a birth right for him, but, he usually messses it up instead of making it better...well that and =0( for Buffy and Willow.


Ahn 2007-10-11 id # 6623
Another great update! Thanks and keep them coming!


Howard R 2007-10-12 id # 6625
The thing that gets me is this story could have been told within the framework of the series. The relationships and timings are almost a perfect match, just replace Fred with Oz.


japmap japmap@yahoo.com 2007-10-12 id # 6626
Finally!!! It was getting almost too painful, though it has certainly built up the anticipation. The inertia and lack of confidence are consistent w/what we would expect from HS Willow, though. Can't wait for Wiffy datey goodness...


Ahn 2007-10-18 id # 6661
So is Riley going to go crazy about Buffy now being with Willow? Keep the updates coming!


Howard R 2007-10-19 id # 6672
Finally!


Buffillowara Buffillowara@gmail.com 2007-10-19 id # 6673
seriously reading this fic pre-date i couldn't stop thinking about this Dido song that almost made me want this to be a song fic (i hate song fic but not fic's based off songs) oh yea the Dido song is called "Who makes you feel"
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dido/whomakesyoufeel.html
But listen and think when I say it
Oh but listen and think when I say it
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel


Howard R 2007-10-22 id # 6691
I don't know. Seems kind of mean for Joyce to separate them knowing that they live together in the dorms. Buffy isn't in high school anymore. Especially when Willow is the one Joyce approves of.

What's 'harnering'?


Rin 2007-10-22 id # 6692
They only used to live in the dorms together, now they don't, and they weren't dating when they did live together. It's a mom thing...


Ahn 2007-10-22 id # 6694
looks like Buffy better watch out for Riley. I wounder what Willow got Buffy? Update soon.


IceCold 2007-10-23 id # 6700
God, I love this story! I can't get enough. Work was starting to get in the way of reading this! -_- Keep up the good work! :)


Anon 2007-10-28 id # 6720
Looks like Willow can't get enough of Buffy! Great update and can't wait for more.


Howard R 2007-10-28 id # 6721
Sweet make-up. Glad you didn't stretch that out into a cliffhanger.

The almost-fight seemed pretty in character. Though it seemed odd that it went that far south without Xander's 'help.'

"she was glad to see that Willow wasn't spending every waking hour with that Harris boy anymore. It was good that she'd found some female friends."
Where was she during the *years* Willow was dating Fred?

P.S. It's been a while since chapter four. You might want to change the summary.


Howard R 2007-10-28 id # 6722
P.P.S. Still wondering what 'harnering' means. It only gets seven Google hits and, once you eliminate the obvious misspellings and the foreign language pun, you're left with a single proper name. (And honestly? What family name has only one single appearance on the entire Internet? Makes me think that's a misspelling too. I mean, between myself, my father, and my grandfather, in the meeting attendance rosters and school graduation records kept online I get almost two dozen hits. And this last name is listed in a single academic journal...once? Ever? Not buying it.)


Rin 2007-10-28 id # 6723
Howard -

I write these things at 1 in the morning, when I'm already knackered from the door, and about to fall asleep. It's the only time I have to write them, and I want the story out there, so there are going to be LOTS of mistakes, which when I have free time I might fix but not right now. I actually meant 'harboring'...the only thing I can think is that I'm using a Harner book for a class, and was probably doing that earlier that day. LOL. Sorry for the misdeed.


Ahn 2007-10-28 id # 6724
Great update! I hope to see more soon.


Zinerva 2007-10-29 id # 6725
This piece was too angst ridden for my taste, but I still kept reading, which means you did a pretty good job handling the angsty moments because I usually just stop reading angst fics that drag on and the characters are doing it to themselves. This one dragged on in a way that made me keep reading, hoping they'd find a way to be happy together. You were rather successful at at holding my attention.

I like the way you characterized Buffy and Willow. Willow was a little ooc after her breakup with Fred, as she was never that good in hiding her pain and it's cause, but it fit the story. Buffy felt like Buffy, just without superpowers. Nicely done.


Ahn 2007-11-03 id # 6745
Good job on this story. I liked the end and it's open if you ever wanted to do a sequal. If your going to update another story I vote for CSI. That's another great one of yours.


Howard R 2007-11-04 id # 6746
Sweet. I'm glad they worked it all out in the end.

A little disappointing that they didn't beat Xander to death with a shovel. C'est la vie.


Didge didge4@btinternet.com 2007-11-04 id # 6747
Nice ending but couldn't you have at least stretched it to Xander's wedding or are you saving that for the future? Don't forget you've still got a few more stories to update so can I put an early vote in for CSI? Please, pretty please. (I'll go down on my knees if it helps)


Whedonist 2007-11-04 id # 6749
Nice finish up Rin. Also, I would just like to say that I'm on board with Ahn and Didge for the next update. I know time is seriously of the lack, but when you can spare a few the CSI one would be awful nifty to start to read again.

W
