Hi Nia, been out of town so I'm playing catch up with the last 2 chapters. There's so much going on in this one. Poor Cordy, having to deal with Angelus and Dru, and Willow's just gone crazy....what spell is she concocting now? And when is Buffy going to figure out that she's not sick....she's pregnant?

I've just read the whole of Origins (so far) in one weekend - I absolutely love the story! I didn't realise it was a WIP which is why I haven't reviewed any of the other chapters - I figured you wrote them ages ago. I've just to the the end of this one (which is excellent, by the way) and am dying to hear more. You are without doubt one of the best writers on this site, your characterisations are perfect and the plots are just enthralling. I've now looked back at the updated date and realised you only just finished this one - I'm so relieved because I thought it might be an old series that had just been left unfinished. I'm not going to ask you to hurry up with the next installment, because that would just be rude, but rest assured I will be waiting to read and review, and I'm looking forward to it already. I hope your arm is feeling better (and not just so you can type). With deepest regards, Ali

This story is very well-written. You have good continuity and write the characters' voices true to the series. I most eagerly await every new chapter. Hurry up!!! Just kidding... I'll wait patiently. Thank you for writing these stories.

Poor Cordy I hope the gang manage to get her out in time. I can't wait to read more.

Oh poor Cordy! I really hope they'll rescue her in time and she'll be safe in the hospital. And Connor growing too quickly, wonder what that's about. Aw Dawn, Connor, and another baby -- Buffy and Spike sure have a lot of kids lol. So glad you updated! =)

OH MY LORD! Ok, I do know this is fiction, but Cordelia!! They NEED to rescue poor Cordelia! Like, NOW would be good. And what the heck is Willow planning? Anxious to know, but let's resucue Cordelia first!!

Why is Spike having problems with his vision and reading....hmmmmm. What is Willow up to and how will it interfere in the rescue or the diversion for the hero's to do there thing.......and When is Conner going to say his first words...I hope he calls Spike Daddy....and will there be anything left of Cordy to save......will it all be for not.....more more more......

good chapter, i totally agree with giles that angel should be dusted, he's not a good champion if he can't even realize that angel=angelus, a soul does NOT make you good. just look at who he was when he was human, an alchohalic whore who mistreated woman. seeya

Hope you had a happy birthday...love the story

Absolutely perfect!!! This was a phenomenal chapter, and I'm glad that it's a pivotal part of the story. All of it was filled with so much information and detail that I can actually see it unfolding in my mind....Giles' pain, Cordy's fear, Angelus' evil, and more. Oh man, I can't wait for the next chapter....this is a masterpiece, Niahm, a true masterpiece.

Disturbing. I know it is suppose to be. I';m still here and I plan to be here until the end, but I'm not very good at revieiwing when all I can do is get through the chapter. I can't wait until poor Cordy gets to just die.

loved it. can't wait for more. hope spike and buffy come to the rescue soon. xander is still and ass and willow is just down right crazy. loved it though. post soon.

ewwwwwwwwwwww shivers of evil just dripping in that one. For all the gods I hope cordy gets out and alive. I hope they dust Angel and stomp on his ashes. Ughhhhhhhhhh willies, heebeejeebes, Yikes. Spike and Buffy so intune with each other awesome. Anya needs to dump Xanders ass and get with a real man,like Giles. Ughhhhhhhhh maybe he can bite in the rescue mission. I think Tara needs to do some magick mojo on OZ to help his healing. she has it in her. This chapter is full of "what's going to happen next"...then Connor is going to be walking...good gods the book does not talk about them doing that then...*laughs*...excellent chapter...i am readying my oxygen tank because i am sure i will need it in the next few chapters. But it's allllllllllllll goooodddddddd
