I don't think I can properly convey how much this chapter made me feel. Wow. Just wow.

Bravo.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Tanit. It makes me so proud that I had that effect with my writing, especially as it was emotional for me in the process too.

So I've been steadily working my way through these chapters, and while I just cannot swallow Drusilla as a good girl, I can definitely buy into your portrayal of Evil! Willow, Xander and Giles. You did an excellent job of making them truly menacing. Particularly Giles. Ripper seems like major bad news for our Slayer.

Author's Response: It's definitely hard to totally turn a character into something opposite, so I'm glad my evil trio are ringing true for you, even if Dru isn't. Ripper is such, such bad news! Thanks for your comments!

I was sure Buffy just pushing, pushing, pushing would result in William giving in, but William's depth of emotion and restraint was breathtakingly, believably displayed. He's walking a fine line, and the alcohol was a bad decision. I can't wait to see what your next move is in this entertaining piece.


Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review, Brunettepet. I'm glad I managed to convey William's conflicting emotions and pain so well, and he definitely didn't help the situation or display his maturity by using alcohol as a crutch. So glad you're looking forward to more!

Poor William. Being in love with Buffy in ths situation has got to be hell on earth. But at least all that pent up emotion has awakened the Buffy that now knows she wants something more.

Author's Response: It truly is a situation with pain coming from every angle. But after this blow-up, at least some of the things that needed to be said are out in the open.

Poor Buffy - her immaturity isn't helping. No wonder William's at the end of his tether.

Author's Response: Definitely a complex and troubling situation, they both need to sit down and talk about it like adults. Perhaps next update. :)

William giving in to the kiss felt right, but so did his pulling away. He must be in an emotional turmoil. This Buffy is confused and pulled out of her reality. He's the adult in this situation even though Buffy has had to grow up quickly. The conflict is believable and very entertaining, and I'm looking forward to how you're going to resolve it.

Author's Response: I'm so glad the conflict between them is coming off well. Definitely a really delicate balance between the two of them, and from both sides there is so much confusion and guilt. So glad you're reading, and I am so appreciative of your reviews! Thank you so much!

Even in the midst of the painful slayer dream, this perfect Buffy response made me laugh out loud “You are a frustrating little chit, aren’t you?”

“Don’t insult me in British!”


The melding of the two sets of memories opened a window into the events of this universe. Angel's angry response to the love spell made me think he'd harbored a crush on Buffy before they mystically did the deed. It's no wonder he's so testy with her now. It's like he's taken Xander's role. Buffy having to stake Joyce was devastating. She's had as much loss and heartache in this world as in her own. She's been given the choice between a rock and a hard place.



Author's Response: Hey, any time I make someone laugh out loud I consider my chapter a success! :) This isn't a fairtytale universe, there are certainly equal or more amounts of pain here. Not an easy decision by far. Thanks so much for your comments, Brunettepet.

Will coming in for the save was vivid and exciting, and he and Buffy coming together after such a scare felt natural. Will must be suffering horribly, being in love with his charge and her not really knowing about the depth of emotion that's probably been running between them for months. You're doing a good job building the tension between them believably.

Author's Response: I'm glad their coming together felt organic, and not forced, and I'm so happy I'm conveying Will's pain well. Thanks for reviewing and letting me know what you think.

This disconcertingly normal alternate world is fascinating in its similarities and its differences. The vampires are a truly chilling bunch, and you've captured their malevolence nicely. William's barely repressed attraction is growing stronger with each chapter, and it's very entertaining and sexy. Buffy's continued confusion and desire to get back to her own messed up universe is heart hurting, though I'm enjoying how it's making her turn to Spike more and more.

The fight sequence was beautifully choreographed and That last line really brought the fear. Off to one more chapter. Thanks for the very entertaining read.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Brunettepet. I love getting the specifics of what you're enjoying, I'm so glad you're reading! Please keep letting me know what you think.

Hmm. That's quite an interesting twist, to throw the time change in there as well.

My first thought is that if the badness of her 17th b-day can be avoided in this world, she should stay here. But the slayer dream specifically stated that circumstances in the world she didn't choose to remain in would still exist ~ meaning that Angelus would be left to rampage in the "other" Sunnydale. Okay, I officially have no clue where you're going with this so I'll resolve to stop analyzing ang just hang on for the ride!

Author's Response: Hopefully it'll be a fun ride! Love that you're trying to work out the whys and the hows of this screwed up spell, and glad you liked the twist! Thanks for reading.

Poor Buffy! Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! (and no, I'm not referring to having William in bed with her ;-))

Slayer dreams have always confounded me. I fear I'm no good with the symbolism either, but can see that she's in some type of limbo between the two worlds. And obviously will have to choose which one to cleave to.

Author's Response: Ooh, dirty. :) Yes, Buffy is definitely in a really troubling situation, and stuck with the memories of two different lives. The choice will be hard. Thanks for letting me know what you think!
