SO VERY, very glad to see a new update, and hope things are looking up for you now as well. So sorry for your loss, and the troubles that came your way. Hope writing is uplifting for you and that us nagging you for new updates is not a bother. I just loved this chapter and the part about the girls sitting on the two hussies while having knife-throwing practice and commenting on the quality of the blades was so funny! I loved that Buffy already considers and calls Anne her mother, as does Connor call/consider her grandmother. I was rather hoping Father (Brother?) Rupert would be the one to perform the wedding ceremony. This is an interesting way in which to "twist" Dru's madness into the fic...very good vehicle to do so. And just figures that Darla would pull a 'knife'--equivalent at that time to the 'gun' she'd pulled on Buffy in the show. I hope Harold and Liam don't escape from the Priory, though I wouldn't doubt it, slipperier than eels...and if they do can they at least have the sense to go to another country? Just leave while the getting is good before the great lords get out four horses and some leather straps and chains...ewwww.
Can't wait for more, and tho' I don't always review, you know I love it. As you are able to, please write more...
thanks

Author's Response: nag away. i have no problem with nagging. I like nagging, it means you like the story:) there will be more twists and turns to come. glad you are still enjoying and thanks for the review

‘Buffy, put Dru down please, you might catch something!’ ... what a great line... lol! Loved the fight scene, it was very satisying to see Dru and Darla suffer for hurting poor Anne. Fantastic chapter! :D
Congrats on your wins!!!

Author's Response: I loved that when I first thought of it. I laughed out loud and just HAD to use it. more when I can, and thanks for the review

Oh thank goodness! I was starting to worry that you had lost your love for this tale ~ RL can indeed be a bitch at times, and I'm glad to see you back, hope all is well.

Congrats on the well-deserved awards! This was a fine chapter. So fun to see Buffy put the smack-down on Dru & Darla. Great that Ingimund is confident that Buffy will brook no shit during her wedding. Now Athelred has seen with his own eyes how hard-core Buffy can be!

Looking forward to Harold & Liam's ordeal. What sort of punishment is in the cards for Darla & Dru?

Author's Response: No the love for this tale is still there, and the story is mostly blocked out in my head, it will be added to regularly. Dru and Darla are really in for it now, thanks for the review. more when i can

Hee, this was a perfect way to deal with those two crows. I hope that's the last we know of her, although I know we wouldn't be so lucky. At least Buffy and Faith won the upper hand easily enough and they could defend Anne from them. Loved the chapter, I'm looking forward to more!

Author's Response: poor Anne, but how stupid of Darla and Dru to attack in public and break the peace of the witan. there will be more soon and thanks for taking the time to review

First since I haven't read you since: Congrats to your win :)) So good to see an update.
So even if Liam and Harold are a danger it's a known danger; they can be watched. Loved Buffy's threat be enough so Ingimund didn't have to add to his orders.
Heh heh loved the scene when Connor 'volunteered' to go to the market.
Awe, and I absolutely loved Buffy and Faith defending Anne. Dru and Darla had it coming for a long time. At last they picked the wrong fight this time *gg*
Enjoyed the update, good so see (and read) you again.

Author's Response: they really picked the wrong fight and the wrong enemy. more soon and thanks for the review

I'm supposed to be ironing, but I can't stop reading this - what a marvellous story. I feel as though I am in the middle of this world, experiencing all that they are going through. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Author's Response: so glad the world has been brought to life. glad you are enjoying...and you could always wear the clothes unironed...thanks for the review

lol... Its just good thing there's always Liam and Harold who makes an ass of themselves in front of others... They make William more COOLt and an awesome character...

another great update james_lady!!!
U ROCK!!!

Author's Response: thanks, glad you enjoyed

I found this fic three days ago and have spent every spare minute reading it - well, and some not-so-spare minutes at w**k!
Your writing is beautiful! I love the characters, descriptions and phrasing. You are truly creating a work of art here. I have always had a passion for historical fiction and seem to be especially drawn to Norse and Celtic ones. I really love this story. Thank you for writing. I hope you up-date soon!

Author's Response: really glad that it caught your imagination. Its one of my areas of study and I love this period in history..there will be more soon

Oh, good. I'm glad Liam and Harold weren't able to mess things up and are now forced to deal with the consequences.

You'll have an update for us soon, I hope! :)

Author's Response: update as soon as I can...yep they have really landed themselves in it this time....glad you enjoyed

Great chapter. Harold and Liam have certainly painted themselves into a corner.

Author's Response: and its not going to get any easier for them...more soon

look foward to he blisters

Author's Response: thanks for the review

LOVED IT, every word, from the deception that was dragged out for a bit for Harold and Liam on who the bride was, to saucy smiles exchanged between B&S, to the slight the brothers caused which cornered them in on themselves to darla and Dru's reaction over Buffy and Anne's over Connor's news of Tara. But still two more days to the wedding??? THere's a lot that could go wrong, which I hope doesn't, but please, update soon sweety - this was simply brilliant.

Author's Response: thank you so much for the review, glad you enjoyed, I wanted to let them play. more soon

Aha! Harold and Liam are SOL now. It'll be interesting to learn more about exactly what a "trial by ordeal" is... I guess it to be a Saxon version of the Roman "Boca del la Verita".

Sounds like some drama to come regarding just where the newlyweds are going to live. I can understand Buffy's point of view, but also think that William wouldn't want to seem unappreciative of the home and estate he's been gifted with, as well as his responsibility to want things to get off to a good start with the market and settlement he was instrumental in arranging. Wherever they reside, doubtless Anne will be welcome to join them, so her worries are unfounded ~ although she may not realize that at this point.

Very nice update. Looking forward to Liam and Harold getting their due. Dru & Darla must've choked on their wine when they saw Buffy's jewels! Ha! Let them try to pilfer a piece and they'll learn just how much of a warrior Buffy is!



Author's Response: there's a lot of political manovering to come. but at least they will be together...more soon and thanks for the review
