So THIS is the Paradise Lost series. For some reason, I kept getting this confused with something else (a story line that focused on Faith-ick-and I never read it) But then, I finally found the real summary and I'm happy. Because this series sounds fantastically good. I have to say, you are probably one of my favorite fanfic authors, probably my number one on this site.
So sad-I hate the Scoobies (excluding Dawn; and sometimes faith, depending on the story line-like, she's good in Lunar, but in others...). They are always meddling, ruining, and so doubtful of Buffy.
Anyway-great one shot. On to the next part!

I wanted to refresh my memory of the series before I read the newest story (7/06). I have to tell you how wonderfully bittersweet this story is. Buffy met the challenge of her new life and found happiness. Thanks to the Powers and her "friends", it sounds like Buffy and Jean-Claude will never met again...that's just heartbreaking.

I really love this fic. I don't know how I missed it. (I only knew about it because of the sequel.) I wouldn't mind a continuation. I know, there's already a sequel, but I mean one where Buffy returns. However, in this fic, Buffy did say that she knew they weren't going to meet again- maybe she could be proven wrong. I don't know how she would fit in the present-day Anitaverse though. The only AB knowledge I have is from reading fanfic. Is JC already a part of the triumverate in your sequel? I don't see him not wanting to get back with Lissbeth, but would he have to break the triumverate to be with her? I don't really picture Buffy as the sharing type, but her life as a Master Vampire was never explained in detail, so she could have different reactions to certain situations depending on who and what she is at the time. (I'm not sure what I just wrote made sense or not.) In the end, it's your decision whether or not you'll continue, but I'd like to see how you'll make a continuation work.

wow. that was wow.. I really liked, even if it was sad at the end... *sniff* really touching. I love the young Jean-Claude, his behavior is extremely believable considering his age and status. very well done. :)
Wow! Nicely done short story, very emotional, and good at alipping her into the Anita world. I hope there is some kind of continuation in the future though, Jean-Claude and Buffy together with that kind of history would be very good.

I love your fics, and this is no exception. It was so sweet, and beautiful. Please, you have to write more, I think this could be a long fic, with many chapters. Buffy and JC are so cute and great together. I can see him saying "she was the one who saved me" or "she gave me my life" or something like that. So, you would make me very happy if you wrote more...
See ya!
