Wonderful chapter.

Good chapter...things are moving along well. Sorry I can't leave much of a review--the brain's not functioning so hot tonight. Liked the chapter, though.

Willow's gonna be in SOOOOO much trouble. Cannot wait for the spell to be broken and for everything to come to a head. Lawson is a joy to read about, especially since I always felt he could have been another type of unique vampire, being sired while Angel was souled up...

Kudos! Can't wait till the next update!

Damn good storyline, can't wait to see where you take us next.

good update as usual. i bite my nails waiting for updates. keep'em coming.

Ooooh! Now we're getting to some good actiony parts. :D I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Excellant update... I can't wait to see what happens next... I wish dawn knew how important she was to everyone ... she is such a wonderful character in this fic. *happy sigh* and congrats on your awards!

Good chapter. Loads of plot, which keeps you wondering about what's coming next. I love this fic, thanks for the update.

Thanks so much for the update. Every time I think that this story can't get any better you prove me wrong. Congrats on the awards, you sure deserve them. Please let Willow get what coming to her soon. Update soon.

Sooo good! Willow's reckoning is getting close now and I can't wait. Lawson joining the side of good? Can't wait to see how that pans out. Great writing, can't wait for more and you deserve every award you win!. Congrats!

**sniffle** you made Kirsten go home....wahhhh. At least she seems to have averted the event which led to her own seemingly dark existence of the future. And is that the sound of Willow's downfall I hear echoing in the not so distant future?

And check out Oz with the Tara love and Sam's decision to follow his own path. Of course, that his path has led him to the white hats doesn't surprise me. I always knew there was something more to him than what Joss gave us.

Great update, sweetie! Congrats on the very much deserved win!

I have been following this story since it was a baby Book 1 and am passionate about it. The richness, complexity and solidly believable characterisationm that make this so great to read much make it a bitch to write. I am sorry for your pain ... but ... please don't let it slip away. This is one work that I would be truly sad to see slip into the realms of the eternally WIPed. You do good work!

Hells Bells! I can't believe I almost missed an update!

Willow seems to be losing her grip. I absolutely *love* the literal and metaphorical hounds at her heels. It is almost time for Willow to have her come uppance and I am breathless in anticipation.

Jenner is a Vamp after my own heart. His loyalty doesn't automatically reside with his sire, and I can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out that "the girls", in effect are his kin too being from the same bloodline. Great job on weaving in obscure characters.

Awww Dawn. Such a sad, broken girl now. I find myself missing the bubbly Dawn and am missing the father/daughter interaction from the past chapters. *sniffle*

Kirsten and Spike. I just love the way he holds his girls so close to his heart and their interaction this chapter, despite that angst, gave me a warm feeling. Love it.

Favorite Lines:
She answered him without thinking, then blushed darkly. “Yeah, sure Daddy.”

“Keep that quiet.” He shook his head, heading for the stairs and Buffy.

and...

“Really, Anya, must you? She’s hardly going to switch bodies with Wesley or I and I doubt seriously she’s going to harm any of us.” Giles grabbed her arm, peering down into her eyes. “I doubt helping any of us would be her first choice unless she has changed.” He paused once more, saying in a much softer tone, “we have to start trusting her sometime.”

“I still don’t think its very smart.” Her face had softened, responding to his expression. She smiled up at him prettily. “But I trust you, so I’ll try.” *revels in Anya/Giles luv*

Okay Nia, as promised, a review. Late, but not forgotten. Continue to heal. This story is moving along at the exact right pace. Angst, love, hate, domesticity, realism, and fantasy. Why didn't the writers tap YOU??
