Really good story so far, I hope that you can return to writing it and finishing it. Maybe she should dream of the night she met Daniel but have a model of the stargate on a bookshelf or a picture on the wall or something.
This is a great fic, but I guess its too much to hope for it to be finished (5 years is a goodly hiatus). Still, even though it ends just as it was reaching its core plot, I still love it. Very good work.

Review of chapter "Phoenix and Fire" from Wrytergrrrl
Review:
I love this story. The relationship building between Buffy and Daniel is so beautiful and so sad at the same time. I really hope that you come back and finish this fic in the future.

These days her little sister was giving Giles a run for his money in finding and learning ever more obscure languages and bizarre ancient dialects. She had even taken to swearing in lesser T’orkorian, one of the weirder demon languages because she enjoyed the way it made her sound, like a cat trying to cough up a giant hairball.
lol
Together was a concept that she had lost faith in, a long time ago.
ow

Eventually she pushed back and locked eyes with him, hands fisted in his lapels, giving him a little shake with each word, as though her sentences needed punctuation. “Dammit Daniel! You’ll not do this to me. I need you to stay with us. For me. For us. I can’t lose you too. Not again.”
I liked this, esp the phrase 'giving him a little shake with each word, as though her sentences needed punctuation.'
I did think the 'whole nine yards' paragraph was way too long.

In fact the senior slayer was so notoriously elusive that some of the non slayer staff had jokingly begun to assert that she didn’t exist, that she was only a myth conjured up by the scoobies to spur the other slayers to greater heights. Although admittedly they didn’t say that in front of any of the scoobies, not wanted to be eviscerated, verbally or otherwise for the sake of gossip. Which is why his normally levelheaded assistant was acting as wide eyed as a five year old, as though a phoenix had suddenly appeared in her office.
love that description

Let me just add another vote to the Please, continue this story! Even in partial form its still one of my favorites.
Buffy's isolation is handled so wonderfully. In the series every time she tried to build something for herself, outside of slaying, it either got taken away or didn't really exist. From cheer leading, college and dating 'normal guy' Riley, right through to taking the counseling job at SHS. You can see it in the expression on her face when Wood admits he only hired her because she's the Slayer. With Willow and Xander in a lot of ways they were more interested in being Scoobies than in being Buffy's friends. Not to say they didn't consider themselves friends, just that their priority was the Slayer, *not* Buffy. And after that last season I can't see her just going back and letting them continue controlling her. That scene where she's sitting on her bike crying in the middle of nowhere just emphasizes her physical and emotional isolation. I still can't read it without tears myself.
