Urgh. You're evil, with a cliffhanger like that. Can't wait for the next chapter - keep up the great work!

Holy cow...Angel after Willow...Willow sees Tara but not Oz...Dawn flirting with Wes...Buffy wants the chip out...HOG DOG! :) Another absolutely fabulous update! I love how this is progressing and I love the tension between Dawn and Wes (yeah, yeah even if she is a teenager). It's not a pairing I would have ever thought about but...it's working for me. :)

I was wondering about warning everyone else. It will be interesting to see if Willow figures out it was her fault that the knights are in town. Very intriguing chapter

I love it!!!! I just found your story origins today and I just couldn't stop reading! please keep up the fantastic work - i'm dying to know how everything works out!

The double feeding scene was lovely, and Buffy's decision about the chip was moving. Finally revealing her feelings, it makes sense that her trust would extend to the chip's removal. I love how you balance all the relationships here - Wes and Dawn and Oz and Tara are just as well wrought as Buffy and Spike. I can't wait to read Willow's reaction to Tara and Oz, and what will Willow look like in their eyes. This was a well thought out and realized chapter.

This story just keeps getting better and better. I am amazed at how well you are doing with such a long story. Not that I am a publisher or know anything at all, but at this calliber of writing, I would think you could submit a less NC-17 version for publication.

OMG, Nia! I got so behind on my reading I didn't even realize you'd updated so often! I missed 4 chapters! And - whoa! way to leave us hanging with a potentially explosive situation! Will now be watching for the next update much more carefully!

Glad that Buffy told Spike she loved him; and it can only be good when the chip comes out... Wonder if WIllow changed (looks very old now... because of what you wrote when she looked in the mirror). Oh - and Willow seeing Tara when shopping with Oz - not so good.... At last Angel didn't get Willow yet... Looking forward for more.

Can't wait for Willows reaction this is so good.
Date: 04/18/2005 - 03:45 am Title: The real stuff of life
Hot damn that was an awesome chapter!!! Spuffy was fantab, and I'm liking the friendshipe between Oz and Tara. They're almost like kindred spirits, and their playfulness is cute. Wes is just...I don't know...adorable. I feel for him because Dawn is only 15....and the poor guy is just suffering. Oh, and the cliffy...man....what a time for Willow to find them...and I wonder if Angelus will too...can't wait for more!

Zoinks! Wonderful cliffhanger! Fabulous touching, sexy moments between Spike and Buffy. The biting was, as always, incredibly arousing. They just seem to grow closer every day. I love it! Buffy's determination to get the chip out is quite timely. I'm so glad that your Buffy has the faith and trust in Spike as she does. It is much earned and deserved. I just hope they are able to get the chip out before anything (or anyone) else poses a threat. Is it wrong of me to kind of wish Angelus would get to Willow and eliminate that threat before she becomes an even bigger threat? *sigh* I just don't want Angelus turning Willow. Good gods almighty, that would be the worst case scenario wouldn't it? Lovely, cute scene between Wes and Dawn. His discomfort and embarrassment are quite adorable. :) I can't wait to see how Willow reacts to seeing Tara, and with Oz of all people. Wonderful chapter again Nia! So many amazing real moments between these characters that just make this story come even more alive!

For a difficult chapter to write it came out beutiful and seemless. I adored the interaction once again between Spike and Buffy. The feeding was very romantic. The conversation was extremely real - and her telling him about the chip - well it makes me desperate for the next chapter. I don't know why but the Wesley/Dawn thing strangely works. Angel's on the move. And Oz and Tara meetting up with Willow! All makes me desperate. Yep. Need more as soon as possible!!!
Date: 04/18/2005 - 02:19 am Title: The real stuff of life
OMG! Willow is probably going to freak when she sees Tara and Oz are together! Will you have Willow getting turned by Angel or will she see the error of her ways? What happened to the rest of the AI team? ARe they going to pop up in Sunny Dale too? Please update soon!

look's like willow will be angel first target than buffy and spike it seem's hmm don't no how much harm he could do to willow since she has these powers now that could kill angel.How beautifull are buffy and spike wil her trust in him and telling him how much she care's for him win we all no she so in love with him so much if i was angel i would be very afraid of buffy and spike strong bond cause they could beat angel at his own crazy game.I loved win buffy told him that she thinks it's time the chip came out and poor spike was thrown by that hmmm wonder what his respone will be to buffy question,Me thinks tara will no something off willow and so will OZ.Starting to get very angst now NIA.And am loving ever bit of it.Great chapter agine missy

I thought this chapter rocked and I cant wait for more.

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)

Good or bad? Really, really, really good!

Ooh-- Oz-Willow-Tara confrontation! Looking forward to that! Really enjoying this.
Date: 04/18/2005 - 12:51 am Title: The real stuff of life
Oh wow. This should be very very interesting. GREAT story, one of hte best I've read lately. Keep it up, I'm just not going to be able to sleep until you update!! :)

Spike, you randy little invalid you. Something tells me he'll be right back in that bed as soon as he's strong enough to get out of it. Loved the double feeding scene. Very sweet. Willow's in for some trouble, with Angelus gunning for her and her spells taking a physical effect on her. Can't say I'm feeling a lot of pity. And Wes, you just keep remembering that 15, huh buddy? lol Good, bad, or otherwise? Otherwise--fantastic.
