NOOOOOO!! The Doctor can't let himself regenerate and they have to find each other again. Maybe a reward from the PTB? A life span to match the Doctors and a reunion on the Tardis. Sequel please! Pretty please! With Chocolate and whipped cream and cherries or anything else you like.

That's a very vehement review - there is quite a bit more of this series written, so I invite you to explore it. I can't make any promises about the destiny of our two heroes, but it does keep going. I'm glad you found the romance compelling enough to want more though. Thank you for the comment.

Beautiful. Very creative and this time I also enjoyed the romance. I found it appropriate when usually it's forced. Very good.
Comments from author:
It's always tricky to write romantic fic for the Doctor, because the character itself resists it, so I just tried to find a way to develop a romance for him that would work with his character, and there's something about Buffy that would make it natural. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.

I'm not a really big Dr. Who fan, but that was well done. I can't believe that you managed to pull it off, and still have it be canon BtVS. Bravo (and a vote)!

Well, hopefully I'll help convert you. =) Would you believe that I knew the ending before I started the story? Thank you so much, and I very much appreciate the vote.
I might have been sceptical about the pairing idea when I started reading it- Buffy and the Doctor? Now THAT is a clear example of clashing personalities to say the least!-, but as it went on, they actually worked out pretty well. The two of them actually made for a very moving couple, both of them providing somebody else who understood the burden of being alone against the monsters, and the tragedy of their final parting was BRILLIANTLY well written...
Plus, of course, you managed to do something that I've always found to be one of the most difficult details when writing a Doctor-related romance; you remembered that he's not human.
Even when he realises that he loves Buffy, the Doctor is still clearly a Time Lord, with at least SOME trouble relating to her on the human level; congratulations on finding the balance.
Keep up the good work!

So glad that you enjoyed it. A lot of people have shared your skepticism about the relationship, but I'm proud to say that I've converted many to the 'ship. The compliments on the writing and characterization make me particularly happy. Thanks for the review, and I hope that you also enjoy the other stories in the series as they stand so far (so much yet to write, and so little time).

Cool and poingent twist. I'm glad you've written more of this story for me to check out.
Comments from author:
Yeah. Stories are so much easier to write when you start off with an ending. The tag with Spike was the first thing I wrote on this. It seems to really affect people, maybe because it inverts the ending of Doomsday. Anyway, so happy that you enjoyed this fic, and I love getting reviews, so thank you again.
