Ok. I really enjoyed the fic. Buffy of all people could understand what John is going through. But I was confused by the last part. In order for John to have a sister-in-law, he has to have a sibling...
Anyway, thanks for sharing! Ever think of doing SCC and SG1? I think mini!Jack and John Conner are very similar.
Holy shneikes! I totally got sucker punched at the end...your brief hint made me suspect Derek might just know her, then you threw a wrench in the works. Bravo!
Oh my gods! That was great! And the reference to John/Dawn at the end was great! Please say there's a sequel or companion piece to this!!! *goes to look*

Oh no you don't! You can't stop there. I demand to have more of this story! Please? Besides being a great setup, you actually made laugh out loud with some of the lines. I epecially liked: "The flop in the chair and the deep, put upon sigh confirmed it. Some things were always constant; death, taxes and the fact that teenaged girls were confrontational and teenaged boys were always, without fail, sullen." I laughed again as I just reread it.

LOL I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've left it at a place where I can, if I so choose, do more with it.
I'm glad you liked that line. I was thinking about this teenager we know when I was writing and how no matter WHAT is going on, he's always got this pouty, put upon look on his face and I was like... THAT'S JOHN! :-) I think that's probably one of my favorite sentences I have ever written... LOL
I enjoyed this story very much, and I'd love to read more if you ever get the urge to write it. For example, I'd love to see what happened if John ever actually Googled Buffy - I'd imagine he'd get a lot of hits from demonic sites, but he might also learn that she really did burn down that gym. And it'd be kinda cool/funny if the way he wound up meeting his future bride was through his bride's older sister trying to shrink his head.
Finally, there aren't enough fics about Buffy as a guidance counselor. This was really nice.

I'm sorry, you're not allowed to end the story here. I want ... more! Maybe if Buffy comes back, and Sarah or Cam mistake her for a Terminator? It could be fun!

LOL! Ok, I'll make sure to take note that I have to do something else with it now. :-)
I actually ended it where I did so that I COULD continue it sometime in the future. So... we'll just have to see where the Muse takes us, huh?
Thanks for the review! :-)

please please please continue this...perhaps with a buffy/derek pairing?
Comments from author:
We'll have to see... It's really meant to be just a one-shot, but I did leave it open to pursue at another time should the Muse nibble in that direction. :-) You never know... enough encouragement and bribes and she could decide she wants to do more! LOL
