Squee! Wonderful Nia! I just adored all the interaction between Buffy and Spike, with the cute little Connor between them. I could just see it perfectly. And Buffy's mental analysis of whether to take the risk and open herself up even more to Spike was just incredible. You pointed out everything that Spike had done in the past year, good or bad, and left Buffy finding him worthy. Yay! The way she told him that her heart was in his hands was the most moving thing I have ever seen in this story. It really rivals the moment when she told him he had his crumbs. Just so powerful and so moving. You brought tears to my eyes. I loved every moment of this chapter, from the quiet moments with Oz to Wes comforting Dawn. Really spectacular, Nia. I can't wait to see what Spike says about Buffy's disclosure of her feelings. And I can't wait to see Dawn's reaction when she finds out Spike is doing so much better.

Of course I love it! I like the way your build the story, giving us enough to keepcounting the hours till the next update without us losing interest or becoming frustrated. I'm a greedy wench that always wants more.

What do I think? ::smooches you:: I am delighted that Buffy told Spike what she did. I found it much more profound than her merely saying "I love you"! And, I love Wes and his pragmatic approach to things. I can't wait to see what happens next! I squee with delight after whenever I see a new chapter posted!

Gods, Nia, the things you just did to me!!! You are just... brilliant... wonderful... effulgent! This was just breathtaking, sweetie, from first to last. All of the Scoobie bits were just perfect--the interactions struck just the right balance of tension and affection and humor and gallows humor and so so much more that I'm too damned looped from the Spuffy stuff to think of, but yeah... awesome! And Wes and Dawn... such a perfect little talk. *pets them* They're so cute when they're them... and when Dawn's not being shrill. Not that you make her shrill ever, but we saw WAY too much shrieking!Dawn to ever take for granted how nice it is for her to be rational and mature. And my brain is all scrambled from Baby Love, but I want Wes/Dawn smoochies! Can I start a write-in campaign? And the Spuffy.... Oh god the squee that echoed off these four little Brooklyn walls could damn well have caused a noise complaint! Because Spike and Buffy and a baby and Buffy wishing the baby was theirs OUT LOUD and then with the confession of love and... GAHHH! See... looped. And so so so buzzed. And worshipping at your altar right about now. You SO rock. So that's all the blather for now... I'm off to write porn in my now overly-perky state of mind... so if my bondage comes out fluffy it's all your fault, but in the best possible way. Awesome chap! *hugs*

I know who Kirsten is!!!!! (or at least I think I do:) Can't figure out how she got there though, hmmmmmm More please!

*reaches for the tissues* for all the gods Nia god damn that rocked with emotions. Oz being the one to say let's go and get things going. Buffy telling Spike, "should of been ours". Spike thinking of all the things that he had done for Buffy and why and what she gave him return. Then she tells him "her heart is in his hands" *water works central*. OMG how fuckn sweet is that, that is like better than "i love you" anyday. Your transitions from scene to scene are insane...gahhhhhh get me and then twist me to something else..LOVE IT!!!!!!!. Anya trying to be her capitalist self but knows full well she will help out. Poor Dawn just trying to figure things out. Wes how awesome is he using the logic to help Dawn. Wes being the caregiver at the moment. How tender. The sun is setting though and I feel trouble brewing so huge that they need to get in gear and get the protection done. After that chapter Willow can turn into a toad, Spike's True self...well take that bitch. He is more of man than ever. Excellent chapter. emotional upheaval. LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This story just keeps getting better and better! I love how Oz and tara are getting along so well and how there is a little "thing " that seems to be developing b/n Wes and Dawn. The scene w/Buffy and Spike w/the baby was breathtaking and I can't wait to see Spike's reaction to Buffy openning her heart to him! Please update soon!

Amazing chap! Can't wait until the next update.

I swear...You almost had me crying with the "My heart is in your hands". This series is just wow. I applaud you. BTW, when is Willow going to resurface again? Keep those chapters coming!
Date: 04/14/2005 - 07:25 pm Title: A light shines in you
"Something else might have happened..." Oh Wes, if only you knew. Dawn is going to be beyond pissed once Willow's role in all of this is revealed. BTW, what's happening with her? I want to see what her true face is. I just have a feeling it's not red-headed innocence any longer. I loved the Buffy and Spike bonding. I'm so glad she was able to admit the truth to him. Yet another wonderful part.

OK, wow. I just found this at the Love's Last Glimpse Awards a couple nights ago, and have been reading incessantly since, starting with Origins. Wow. This has got to be one of THE best twists I've seen on Buffy's return. And can I just say that I love Wes too? And I worry about Willow's evil-like tendencies. You write Tara beautifully - Oz's comments about something in her nature just drawing you in were spot on. I sense Ganya in the air *g*. My goodness, I can't possibly relate how much I am in love with this story in one measly review! Definitely add me to the regular readers list - you've got me hooked! I like your idea that Dawn in from Buffy and Spike; are Kirsten and the mysterious baby Will from them as well? You cliffhanger-woman, you.... Your quotes set the tone of the chapters quite well. Some other authors have done it and it just serves to chop up the storytelling a bit - but you make them flow in quite nicely. And I think I'm going to have to listen to Alice in Chains after reading all these wonderful lyrics. Keep up the incredibly work - you have such talent for characterization! Looking forward to more!

Wow you had an unbelievable 51 reviews for the last chapter. And every one deserved, this is a great story. Personally i'm really looking forward to Spike finding out what he is to Dawn.

So good it sent shivers down my spine. Great chappie.

Another great chapter, loved the look into Dawn's sense of responsibility, something that was keenly missed in season six. Are Tara or Dawn or anyone going to bother to warn Willow, Xander, or Anya? Would be a wonderful way to find out that Willow is the cause of much of the damage.

I like it... Nice turn of events.

It's late now *yawn* but I had to read the new chapter. Seems good that Spike is feeling better. That's good. They'll need everyone ready when Angelus arrives.. The Dawn POV was moving. Looking forward for more. *Night.

Great chapter.....I can't wait for Spike and Buffy to find out Dawn is really their daughter.......and what connection Spike is going to feel for this baby of his great grandmama and grand papa's.......and I think Wes and Dawn is cute, he can wait a few years.....LOL

The details in this chapter made it resonate. I ache for Dawn and her perceived role in everybody's injuries. Buffy is very sympathetic, even on auto pilot. I love the way you're writing her loving relationship with Dawn. What is Spike going to think, waking up to a baby that smells of Darla and Angel? I can't wait to find out!
Date: 04/12/2005 - 01:02 am Title: Don't cry little sister
One thing I really like about this story is -- aside from the obvious villains -- everyone is so sympathetic. It's something the show sometimes lost sight of. Awaiting eagerly, as always.
Date: 04/11/2005 - 11:45 pm Title: Don't cry little sister
Another great chapter. I just wonder what Spike is going to do when he wakes up next to a baby that smells like Angel. Hmmm... that should be fun.

j'adore cette histoire je peux pas m'empecher d'etre exciter par la suite

Poor Dawnie. She's so torn. She has always loved Spike, but now that she knows he is her father ... it's killing her even more to see her like this. I wonder what Kristen's part in all of this is. Also, Dawn sounded awfully I shouldn't be here type thing. I was really worried about that. She picked up some in the end though, thank goodness. I do love this story, and I eagerly await for the next update.
