YES! It's great!! Really. So now they have at least three kids - Dawn, Kirsten and Robbie. I wonder if we will see him sometime. Maybe as a flashback? Since he is a boy, is he more like Spike? Or William, technically, unless he's into punk/goth, too. It would be interesting, but you probably have "back-up" chapters done.
Still, great work. I really love this series.

So Robbie is Connor? Only ecplanation I have, since she says that's her older brother, and Buffy is pregnant with Kirsten now. Unless she's having twins! And Robbie came out first.
Had a vision....could be Cordy, though just as likely to be someone else by that time.
Using the reveal spell is going to show very quickly that Willow is behind this. She shouldn't even be in the house. Buffy and Spike are so going to want her dead for what she's done to Dawn.
Surprised Lawson is being helpful, since he was so incredibly pissed off at Angel in Season 5. I wouldn't think Angel being soulless would matter, since he's still the entity that made Lawson, and the guy can't fully enjoy being a vampire. Penn seemed to be the only fully functional childe Angel ever made.

so Kirsten is also Dawn's sister. Craziness abounds. What repercussions will be wrought by her coming back and saving Dawn? How will life in the future change? Lots of questions, and looking forward to reading more chapters for answers.

'... is it any freaking good?' YES! most certainly. This fic updating is a highlight and something to look forward to. I love what you do with the canon material and how you explore the characters, especially Dawn (who i am usually pretty indifferent to).

Kirsten is interesting too, though as with all mysteries, she is more fun when you don't know what is going on but are left to make up your own ideas. Still the way you are resolving her is pretty much exactly how my imagination had it and thanks for not giving us all the exposition in one big lump. The line in the last chapter where she sees Spike looking at her and thinks 'so busted' was delicious!

As usual, please write more and soon! Yeah, that's right, your fans don't care that you ahve a life they just want more drug please now - sorry about that.

BLOODY FANTASTIC,LOVED IT MORE SOON PLEASE GREAT READ MORE SOON PLEASE THANK YOU MAGGIE

good chapter altough since Kristen is going to be born now, where the hell is robbie. Unless his parents aren't spike or buffy. oh no conner is robbie,haha. Call me a genius,... or not.
seeya

I feel like you are keeping me on the edge of my seat! The basis for this story is very plausible and a great idea. Your Spike is especially on point and Buffy is understandably a bit subdued. I've been following this story for a while and I feel like an ass that this is the first feedback I've left. I just love how EVERY character you've included is completely the way they would be if this were the way canon had been written.

I thought Spike's reaction was classic! :) I love how the team is still working together to figure out what's going on. I hope Faith can discover that Willow is behind all the spell mumbo jumbo so the Scoobies can break it! Of course...I can't wait to see how Tara reacts to this one. Something tells me she's not going to be stuttering once she does. I really like Kirsten in this story and that Spike & Buffy have finally figured it out. Great update! :)

Wow, great twist. Can't wait for more.

its very good. keep it coming, i am dying to know what happens.

Great chapter, Niamh! A good read (you write really well, as I hope you know!) and great movement in the plot - great to see the chess pieces shifting around so that our Heroes can get out from under that spell.

OMG! I'd love to borrow some of Spike's holy f'n hells, but I'm trying not to scandalize the Tag. Nia this chapter is fantastic--very powerful, a continuation of the strong emotions we've been seeing all along. Can't wait for Faith's trance and for what else you have in store for us! Ohhhh I so knew Kirsten was theirs! Gah!
