OMG! What a fantastic, scary, thrilling, emotional ride! Nia this chapter just ripped out my heart, tore it up, and stuffed it back in my chest. I think I even bit my lip. Wow. Just wow. Amazing frantic pace of this chapter. The swift movement between scenes just made it feel like everything was happening so fast. Poor Spike! Oh god, and Dawn had to watch him try and fend off those knights. So glad she was able to keep her cool in the end. Thank the gods for Buffy's sense that something was wrong. And poor Wesley, with little Connor. Amazing, amazing changes to canon sweetie. I love the direction this is going in. I just hope Cordy, Gunn, and Fred are alright. *crosses fingers* Kirsten jumping in there to help Spike was just a life saver. She reminds me so much of Spike and Buffy... I wonder if she couldn't be their daughter sent back to help them. Hmmmm... Oh, and Oz arriving with his van to transport the injured Spike just brought back memories. So good to have him back. Fantastic chapter, Nia. Just absolutely brilliant. You definitely got my heart pounding with this one. I can't wait to see what Buffy will do to help Spike, and how Dawn will react to seeing him in such bad shape.

HOLY"bleepn bleep bleep*, need to breath now. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! OH MY GODS!!!!. yeah i can form a thought now, I think. The knight's return, hmmm due to the journals being "out" so to speak. Nia,that action was so intense I can't breath and I did not breath the entire time I read that section. You wrote those actions like they were in the gym, in the car, fighting with Buffy. Kristen is back, WHOA..this the guardian angel child or what? Buffy's emotions inginiting and the inution kicking in. Go Buffy. Oh my heart was in my throat with her thinking 'not dust', not dust. Dear Gods woman you are trying to put into a tearing mush here. Our poor Spike this is not good, not good at all. Spike is very hurt, not gonna heal that easily is he? Spike is in need of some serious help. He needs to go the hospital if that is possible. Oh Spike poor Spike, took such a beating. Kudos to Casey for listening and doing what was needed. Wesley doing what he thinks is right, Gods help him and that child, but Help our Spike too. Oh Nia...I can't stand it, please my dear sister don't wait too long to post, I don't know if I can wait. Oh Spike heal our favorite vampire heal. Bloody Brilliant hun Bloody f'n brilliant. I am still in shock, I am still sitting her going whoa what just happened...

Holy smokes! That last part was intense! I never truly watched the Angel series - not as faithfully as Buffy - but I did manage to see some of the action you depict here. Absolutely amazing how you've woven this web. I am on pins and needles just waiting for the next bit. I'm sorry to hear things have been rough on you - hang in there. :)

I read and loved the first part of this story; delighted to see that there's more! Intrigued by the hints of Dawn's biological parentage; glad to see it's confirmed. I'm asuming that it's the same knights that are hunting the key? Also enjoying the bad Willow story arch. I like her best evil! And also suspect that the "real Spike" isn't going to turn out the way she planned. i would never have put Tara with Oz, but I'm liking it. Curious to see where you take that one! And the Angel twist at the end-- didn't see that coming! Anxious for much, much more!

Brilliant there's so much going on I don't know If I'm on my head or my heels. I suppose now all roads lead to Sunnydale.

Awe, what this chapter has all in it! Willow is so blind - she did a wrong spell. Because she doesn't see Spike as Buffy does. This spell did no bad to Buffy - let her maybe fall even deeper in love with Spike. But I fear the spell lead to Dawn getting captured. I fear she is capured indeed. And Spike came to late. Looking forward to find out what happened.

Wow! This is a tremendous chapter! There's so much going on. Great S/B and Spike's such a prince. Tara and Oz were fun and unexpected. Willow creepy as ever and oblivious to what she may be unleashing. Nice impressions of Dawn at the dance, and Angelus -- a shocker. So logical that his son would produce such a moment of happiness. Very fine!

OMG! You've got me on the edge of my seat! You set this chapter up so nicely, and now I'm in agony waiting for another update! Which way will you go first?

Holy shit, Nia. Sorry I'm not more erudite, but damn I did NOT see that coming!!! This was just amazing...the Oz/Tara and Buffy/Spike moments particularly. I have such an affection for that Spuffy moment because it's so perfectly in tune with them--particularly Spike. It was the kind of moment I wanted to badly to see--Buffy being human in a way that she could only really be around Spike. That said, you are EVIL for giving me THREE different cliffhangers to deal with. E-V-I-L. What happens with Willow's spell? Who are the men after Dawn? And ANGELUS? So didn't see that coming, but it's an incredible twist. I'm just breathless... just, gah! Need more! Thank you so much for such an awesome chapter. I'm glad I was able to help last week, sweetie, and I hope next week is better. *hugs* Great work!!

I've now re-read the chapter four times. I have a theory. Please, please, please update soon so I can see if it's true. "Let true nature be revealed" "Be careful what you wish for...." Oh yeah, I hope so.

Sooooooo good Nia! Oh my gods, so good. This chapter was so rich in detail, action, emotion, and carefully woven plot threads. You swung us from contentment and peace to fear, frustration, pain, grief, and back again. Just amazing. Lovely interaction between Buffy and Spike. They are too precious for words. Willow's spell did not surprise me. She has shown nothing but contempt for anything that doesn't fit in with her desire or design. I'm a little confused by the presence of the warriors and black robed cleric, and their purpose. But I'm sure you will disclose all to us in time. And I don't know what that would have to do with men blocking exits at Dawn's dance, or why people would be fleeing the building, if at all. I have a feeling it may all be connected to either Willow's spell or the birth of Connor. Or both. I have no doubt you have finely woven wonderful plot threads only to reveal to us at your leisure. And I can't wait! The suspense is fantastic. The best thing, I thought, about this chapter was the emergence of Angelus once again. Ever since Connor came into existence on AtS, I wondered why and how Angel never lost his soul. Surely, if anything would bring perfect happiness to Angel it would be the purety of love for his son. I loved how you brought that to fruition, how utterly and fully Angel surrendered to those feelings. Because, really, he had no chance. And it should have been something that the AI team foresaw. I am so impressed by how you capitalized on the emotionally hectic and heady moment in the back alley of Connor's birth to bring forth Angelus. A double birth, of sorts, occurred in that alley. What a wonderful, weighty, emotionally packed chapter! I can't wait to see how all these plot threads are connected!
