I always come back and re-read the stories you've written. And every time, every single time, I have to have my box of tissues. I always cry reading some of them, laugh too. I swear I've read this one at least a two dozen times and it never fails to elicit the same reactions every time. This, like all of your work, is wonderful, poignant and delightful to read. Thank you so much for sharing your concepts of the BtVS characters with the rest of us. And this story, in particular, just absolutely great. ^_^

Oh, damn. This is so good. {sniffle} I've been intermittently weeping for hours as I've read this. It is definitely going on my to re-read list, and I'm downloading the chapters to my hard drive so I can convert it to an ebook for ease of future reading both on my desktop and my PDA. I hope your muse and schedule will allow you to write and post more chapters on more stories sometime soon. Keep up the good work. Zafaran zafaran{at}fastmail{dot}fm

I hate it! Not the story. Never the story. Just the fact that every time I re-read this I cry when the two prodigal sons are reunited with their fathers after so long, just slightly too late. Long ago I was told that a good story is the one that moves you, either to heights of joy, anger or sorrow. Good story. Well written and emotion envoking. Have reviewed before and will probably review again to 'complain'.

To date, this is the most moving fanfic i have ever read. It was absolutely briliant. it was wonderful. truly. my box of kleenex needs to be replenished now because of this of story. I did thoroughly enjoy it, despite the rampant flow of tears. please continue to craft your work the way you do. your style is beautiful.

Each time I read this story I am moved to tears.

Of all of your post-apocalyptic stories, Elderly Pets represents the most complete worldbuilding, although I enjoyed the early books of Five Gold Rings and like your After the Fall series.

Keep writing.

This has to be one of the best stories I have ever read. I cried so many times but couldn't stop. lots of times when I story makes me cry I don't like it but... this was so beautiful I can't even describe it. I'd love to leave a long, detailed review but.. I can't find the words for all I want to say so, just know, that you are a wonderfly tallented author and this is such a touching, moving story that I.. I can't even describe it....

May I begin by saying there are no words to describe how much this story has touched me. I am completely stunned by how well wriiten and personalized the characters are. I have seen and felt every emotion felt within this story by each individual character. I much clap my hands at such marvelous writing skill. You have captured truly the charcters of spike and xander that I fell in this au fanfic are them. Thank yuo for writing this story and for bravely posting it and allowing me to read it. Keep up that marvelous writing skill.

That was one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read. You are a true artist of the pen. I still have tears in my eyes as I write this and I know I will remember your characters for a very long time. Thank you for your gift.
