Buffy's lineage isn't what she thinks?
And Anya did something to Willow to trap Alec? Or an after-effect from the spell? Willow has definitely changed a lot. Xander seems to be ill now. And Alec killed Willow?
What a way to end it (here)

When I see Angel I'm glad that Buffy didn't take Spike with her. But it doesn't look good for any of them.
I really hope Buffy can stop Mercurio. Poor Mr. Pointy ;)
But it got its revenge.
I wonder what Kendra meant You've taken the first step.
I wonder what price they have to pay in the long run for bringing Willow back.
Maybe we'll meet Oliver again... he knows more than he tells.

22 - part 2
The breakfast moment was fun; I liked the Buffy&Giles talk.
DeGanon's talk with Angel... Interesting. I hope this won't turn back into a bangel story because in a way DeGanon was encouraging Buffy.

So Willow is in love with Xander. But she almost killed them. I'm glad that she knows what she almost did and how Alec saved Xander.
If I don't mix things up Xander is a traitor here. I wonder how Willow will take that fact....
But it seems the group is split now. Two sites. I wonder if they still work together.
~ Till next part

Maybe Dawn has the power to stop Alec from going to the dark side... as he felt something like a great light flooding his body
Buffy made it clear what she thought of Angel's intervention. But that doesn't help, Spike vanished and the just moved one / drove on. So where is Spike now...
And the rest of the group is in trouble now too.

One of them recognized Angel(us). I wonder who it was (related to the Gypsies that cursed him?). Oh indeed.
Alec was lucky when he attacked the wrong person. She survived.
With the special slayer heritage it makes sense now that Vlad is after Buffy too.
Looking forward to what Marlena has to tell.

I hope Giles put his glasses somewhere safe (preferable in an unbreakable box) *g*
But contrary to Spike's believe the place wasn't so good, huh?
Good trick with the bottle.
Together they are really strong.

Oh right, you ended with a cliffhanger.
Saved by ghosts? Very unexpected help.
As was Dracula. Sounds as if he's right and Buffy was once his Elizabeth. That could be a reason for him to want Buffy for his own.
Wow, the rat experiment was scary.
Alec? Unexpected behavior and quick healing. And now he even could drink the acid without problems.
Speaking of:
Your chapter is too long, the rest is missing. Maybe making it two parts or post the rest with the next chapter.
I would indeed call Alec's stomach a heartier one.
And I don't think that's part of his British heritage ;-)

Author's Response: Thanks cordykitten! I've fixed it, and you can read the conclusion in Chapter Fourteen - Danger Part 2. I did double-check, but I guess my eye's pulled a whammy, before posting Deacon is requesting that I ask his loyal readers for their real names and e-mail addresses. Right now we have a PDF file of all the chapters edited together, with a "special" cover, that he would like you to receive. Also when Dusk concludes, you would receive a hand-signed PDF copy of the story as well. Please respond with your name and e-mail address (or private message me) if your interested (and I'm sure you will be, lol). - Rachelia, on behalf of Deacon.

I'm back now for the rest...
Well for me sounds the order gone after fighting the hellmouth bad too. Lets hope Giles is right and it isn't that bad.
*phew* I thought the situation with Alec - especially when Willow used magic - would go out of hand. Disaster averted.
Mmmm weird behavior. I first was sorry for them that the book caught fire but Giles? I wonder why he did it.

Hi there! I just found this story here and have downloaded it to read and post a proper review later (maybe tomorrow). I live in OZ and am still stuck with a rotten dial-up connection so my reviews are unreliable. So glad you're posting here because the BSV only lets me have one chapter at a time.

Author's Response: Thanks for finding us over here. Glad your enjoying it!

I like Alec's definition of a hero a lot.
But Dawn acted weird before the incident in the kitchen. I wonder what that means.
And unexpected attack in the kitchen. It looks bad for Alec but I don't think you can kill him off just now, he is needed. So I'm looking forward to more to find out what happened.

That's indeed a twist: Every vampire Buffy kills will strengthen the hellmouth and Buffy can't simply stop to kill them.
But at last they have a lead now what they need.
