Well, there's nothing negative that's gonna be coming from me. I loved this chapter!! Oz/Tara's relationship is great, and I'm really glad to see that she trusts him so much to stay with him. Cordy's situation is horrifying. I feel soo sorry for Queen C, and I hope that Wes is able to rescue her in time. Oh, Willow's really getting into the whole revenge thing now, and it's scaring me even more for the things she's capable of doing. I also see some foreshadowing of her evilness, and I'm getting really freaked for Giles. Can I just say that Spuffy is yummy?!!! They just sizzle regardless of what they're doing. I'm finding that Buffy's tummy probs are very interesting...could be she preggers for real this time? Can't wait to find out!!! Wonderful story, and there's no way you're gonna be losing me as a reader...I'm too hooked and in love with this story to stop reading it before it's done.

I really like this story and avidly read every line as soon as you post. I think that examining the evolving relationships is interesting and I'm glad youa re ataking some time to explore them.. Too bad about Cordy, but I understand the dramatic value that this snatching and torture can have for the overall story. Thanks!

Not sure why you're nervous about this chapter; I loved it. I like the way you write Spike and Buffy; it's a very believable relationship. Maybe not the only way to look at them; but certainly a legitimate way. And can I speculate as to why Buffy's stomach is upset in the morning? Hee! I think the relationship they've also established with Connor is interesting and believable too. I also love the Oz/Tara parts. I'm an old-time Oz fan, but I think this is the first Oz/Tara I've read. Not a relationship I'd have expected, but you make it work. I'm also enjoying the Evil!Willow section-- wonder what she's planning? I doubt it's anything good! And poor Cordy! I hope our heroes go rescue her soon!

I love the way this is building, and the way sweetness of the relationship between Buffy and Spike anchors the story. It's hard to write an ensemble piece that also focuses on one romance, but you're doing a great job with it. Thank you, again!

Nia, wonderful chapter, as always. Finally, Buffy says the words!!!! And poor Cordy, what Angelus has put her through....I hope they find her soon. And what's Willow up to now?

Fabulous update. I love this story and look forward to updates.

Lots of emotions rolling around on this one Nia. Certainly a calm before the next storm hits. YIKES Cordy, I truly hope they save her soon,before she loses her mind totally. Tara taking care of Oz was so Tara and giving him her trust like that. Willow, oh for all the gods Willow get a freakn grip. Buffy having morning sickness already and well they are not thinking of the obvious Yet *winks*. The interaction between them is wonderful, especially where Connor is concerned. They are going to make such great parents. FINALLY too, she said "love you" holy shit and shineola...bout damn time. Sheesh that girl need a swift kick in that department,but I know she was being guarded. Excellent chapter in the eye of the storm, where it is calm and things seem to be ok,but alas the clouds move and things start happen'n.

Still following every chapter, and I will continue to do so. Look forward to the next update. No problems here.

One: poor Cordy! I really hope they find her! =( Two: awww sweet Spuffyness Three: I know this was the big moment with her saying I love you, but I could have sworn she said it once a bunch of chapters ago but no one seemed to notice. Now it's going to bother me all night. Four: not losing interest!! =)

Eh, if you're losing them, then they're fickle readers anyway. Keep the story going in whatever direction you see fit! You are the author. You are the spinner of tales. We, your humble readers, are just along for the ride. And it's a pretty ride, with lots of pretty scenery :-)

Sorry for not reviewing lately. But I assure you that you have me riveted to this story. It's wonderful and I can't wait for more.

I love this story and loved this chapter . PLEASE continue to write and update soon and often.
