Wonderful as usual. Buffy wonderfully portrayed plus a great Slayer dream to decipher. Spike's pain almost too much (where do I send the get well card?). Lovely Tara holding it all together and poor Wesley. So looking forward to the next Chapter(s). You rock. Thanks.

Awesome chapter! The whole spike/buffy things is soo cute. Just..AW. The dream was creepy. can't wait to see where you are going with it

Hi just thought I woulld tell you how much I loved this story.I can't reveiw very well because the window goes all wonky for me when i try . So just no that I read all the time but find it very hard to reveiw.

Oh, lovely chapter, such a great bringing together BTVS and ATS

I loved this chapter...the part with angel and the blood on his hands scared the crap out of me. Oh and i was wondering if Dawn's going to tell them what shes read.

That vision of Angel, standing in Buffy's room with bloody hands was just EVIL. Jeez louise, you scared the shit out of me. My heart still hasn't calmed down. Wonderful chapter again Nia. Particularly liked the slayer dream. Your imagery and use of lightning was very effective in creating a surreal experience. I can't wait to see how Buffy reacts to knowing Angelus is loose. Hopefully this slayer dream will prepare her for the news. Thanks for another amazing chapter!

I LOVE THIS STORY!!! PLEASE POST SOON. I HOPE SPIKE GETS BETTER SOON. THIS REMINDS ME TOO MUCH OF WHAT GLORY HAD DONE TO HIM. ATLEAST HE HAS BUFFY TO LOOK AFTER HIM THIS TIME. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. YOU ARE AMAZING.

I like the rhythm and pacing of the story...that it unfolds as it needs to without dragging the plot out too long. I think the story is wonderfully detailed and that your characters are fully developed personality-wise and emotionally. You've really expanded on S6/3 in a way the ME couldn't (for time) or were interested in doing. Regarding the latest developement with Spike's injuries, Angelus and the like...this is playing out in such a believable manner. I can't wait for all the clues you've been dropping and greater plans that have been hinted at to be revealed...one of my favorite parts of the story. My main critique is primarily with Buffy and in some regard Buffy and Spike. I love the respect and equality that you've given to the relationship. In a way you've brought them to the place ME did in S7, but earlier and in just as a believable manner. However, and it may come off as a bit surprising that I'm saying this, I think that there have been a few too many love scenes. I feel like every time they have a scene together it leads to sex. I understand the purpose of the all the connecting physically to their relationship and to Buffy's state of mind, but it would be great if something more could occure between them as well. As for Buffy, I love that you played up her vulnerability and the after affectives of the resurrection more b/c I don't feel the consequences were actually grave enough on the show despite the darkness of S6. Nonetheless, inspite of how Buffy would still be suffering and recovering from such a tramatic experience at this point, I feel like you may have taken her vulnerability and dependency on Spike a little too far. (Again, this is my own opinion and view of the characters...obviously you may have very different views and very specific intentions for this story.) I just can't see Buffy quite this emotionally unhinged. She's always walled herself in emotionally and while I love that you have taken some of those walls away, there are times when it feels, again, too much. Of couse, I'm not writing this and I also don't have an aswer as too what wouldn't be too much, but that is just how I am reaction to her. That said, I still think it is a great portrayal of Buffy and I do think you have a lot of her characterization down and I can't wait for more. Is this enough of a review? lol Great work!! I'm just completely respectful that you have the courage to put yourself out here at all!! :)

crumb, huh? Ok!! I still love this story. I squee when I see a new chapter, the Angel with the bloody hands, spooky, but important. I like the way this is evolving, keep it comin!!

because people are lazy. Thanks for writing!! :) Great stuff.

oh yea, i forgot.................*hands you a truck load of bread*

buffy's running dialoge to spike was wonderful. to hear and see her emotional termoil was sooo real and raw. i am soooo glad that was gunn and fred....yicks, that freeked me out!!! what a rock tara is. she takes control of that household like nobodys buisness. her thinking she has to stay strong for buffy was.......what a woman, friend. sooooo, spike can speak to her in her head? good, b/c she needed him. shes stronger than she was but glad to know spike could reach her like that. great slayer dream, and seeing angelus...ugh....another freek out...i sooo can't wait for the next chapter.....BRAVO nia....BRAVO
