yay! Another great chapter. Thanks ever so.

GAH!!! Awesomeness yet again! The Spuffy bits were delicious, as per usual.... they make such adorable pseudo-parents, and their bickering and arguing just go to show how much of a real couple they've become. I don't blame Spike to need to think about the urge to drain someone... I'm fairly certain Xander and Willow have been on his mental hitlist fairly recently, and rightfully so... so I'm looking forward to his answer. I'm just endlessly proud of your Buffy; still hurting, still coping, but growing and learning and just doing an excellent job with what she's been handed. I'm alll squeeful over Wes and Dawn... I'm a bad bad girl. But come ON... he's all hot and scruffy and stuff... can't blame her for that crush! I love Tara and Oz interacting... they're just adorable. Can't wait to see the grocery store fallout... and I'm curious about Willow's alterations. Well done all around!!! :o)

Ooh-- Oz-Willow-Tara confrontation! Looking forward to that! Really enjoying this.

Sorry, Nia! you know I'm reading - either here or at BSV. Wrenching chapter - and lots of badness coming. I can feel it. Love the way Tara is so involved. I love her. Great update.

No suckage. This was a great transition chapter to keep us going until the next major action happens - and those can definitely be the hardest.

Oh my God! How can you end it like that? I hate cliffhangers. I want more. I want to see what changes happened. I want to see Willow react to Oz. Oh man, I'm so afraid that Angel isn't going to wind up killing Willow. I'm starting to think "partner in crime". Yikes!!!

I really enjoyed that chapter. Eeek with the Willow sighting, and it completely slipped my mind that she might be on the top of Angel's hit list. Those spuffy moments were so tender, I like seeing them all domestic with the baby and everything. And I love how determined Buffy is in getting the chip removed. I wonder what Spike's answer will be (it's mean to have cliffhangers lol). =)

Ok i have an insane sinus headache at the moment,but nothing can tear me away from your postings. Mmmmmm yummy goodness biting with spike and buffy. still having those tender moments of emotions that is so raw for Buffy. She got so hurt so much. Though now she has Spike and it will be as right as rain. Spike healing nicely from the slayer blood. YEAH!!!!!. Angelous that pompous ass. Oh who to kill first, Oh how bout he stake himself and put us all out of his misery. Dawn and Wes have a flirty convo and Wes getting all nervous. Hmmm where will they take this?? Tara and Oz sharing nice moment. Then OH gods what happened to Willow, did her lil spell back fire on her? Disfigure her somehow??? But son of a bitch she sees them in the grocery store shit shit shit...ahhhhhh run run away from her as fast as you can there is work to be done...to hell with willow. The action is building i feel it. Oh there is much much craziness to come. Nice building here Nia...I am wondering what or who will try to get the action going in sunnyhell????

buffy's feeling hit right on the mark.....you said all those tihngs that were never adressed in the show......thank you b/c they so needed ot be said. Oz and the van came in real handy. glad hes back. :) dawn feeling like it is all her fault is so right on to....yea i know...duh. the way you portrayed her was brilliant....she acted like the young adult she is becoming and wesley talking ot her logically aobut it all was a good way to get her to see things a bit differently. the scene with the baby and them on the bed.....aaahhh...so nice. :) "my heart Spike......its....in your hands" good gods woman. that is so much more real than the i love you that everyone wants to hear her say. that is more buffy and it took my breath away.........

I'm just all out of superlatives I mean what can you say but amazing love it. I have an idea who Kirsten is. I'm surprised Willow hasn't been round to check on her handywork.

Nice Spuffy moment there. And my heart just breaks for Buffy - can't say "I love you," but can't not at the same time. I'm loving Oz here, and his interactions with Tara. Wes is hot. And I don't think I've ever seen a fic with Wes/Dawn undertones like this one - it's working a lot better than I'd think. Keep up the great work!

Very good. Liked it all; but especially fond of Dawn & Tara understanding and appreciating Anya and not condescending to her. Love Anya, almost as much as Spike.

Oh I think you did a WONDERFUL job with this AWESOME chapter.......Spike/Buffy with Buffy finally getting the words out.......beautifully done.....and Wes and Dawn's interaction..... was just so well written.....and for me so like Wes.......
