Author's Notes: I realize that several people are disappointed that Buffy didn’t kill Kralik herself. Trust me, I’m every bit a feminist, but I had to keep in mind that circumstances for this story are very different than they were on the show. Buffy wasn’t informed of the Cruciamentum, so she didn’t know to go into the Sunnydale Arms with an arsenal, as she did in Helpless. Also, Angel had kept Kralik in line, so there was no early escape or a random spazzing about his meds. From the way he was presented on the show, Kralik didn’t strike me as a fledgling vamp that could be taken out with any measure of ease, especially if a weakened Buffy was caught off guard.
Just thought I’d clarify why I went in the direction I did. =)
Also, be prepared to hate Angel. I’m not an Angel-basher by nature, which you likely wouldn’t know with the next couple chapters. I actually like Angel quite a bit. He just proved very easy to pick on.

Author's Notes: I took some creative license in Buffy’s birthdays…in that I made the Season 1 episode “Nightmares” a birthday episode. Pretty much because, up until I rewatched it recently, it was a birthday episode in the very special land of my imagination. I think it’s because her father was there. Anyway, just wanted to clarify that. *smoosh*

Author's Notes: Thought I’d give you guys a little more fluff before moving back to the plot. Ohh! And hopefully some numminess. ^_~ *glomps*

Author's Notes: Wow. Well, this is the end, folks. Thank you so, so much to all my incredibly wonderful readers for making this ride as fun as you did. Your enthusiasm has been overwhelming, and I’m so completely grateful to everyone.
Right now, I’m going to have to say that this is very much the end. Unless my muse decides to gift me with an interesting idea for a sequel, I think I’ve milked this plotline as much as I can. I’m very much invested in other story ideas right now (about seven of them…*kicks stupid muse*). It’s going to be a while before I add any of my projects to the archives, though. While my muse is in hyperdrive, it’s taken a few brutal beatings recently and I want to get a good amount of material written before I start posting.
The good news? I’m more than halfway through my next fic. *bounce* It’s gonna be rather short, but hey, at least I’m halfway through it.
In the meantime, I invite anyone who wants notification of when I have a new story out, or just chapter updates, to join my mailing list.
Again, thank you guys so, so much for your enthusiasm and your support. You’ve completely blown me away. I never expected the response to this story to be so explosive. Thank you SO MUCH.
And a huge thanks to Megan and Meredith for all your help with this story. You guys are invaluable. *snuggles* Thank you!
