I've waited so long for your update and im a little bit dissapointed that Spike is not in this chapter. The mystery is killing me. 9 yrs is tooo long to stay away....

Author's Response: Spike will be in the next chapter. Thanks for the comment.

Author's Response: Also, this story has been up less than a week and I've posted three times so far. I'm glad it feels like a long time! That's a huge compliment!

Love the isolation, and how she's made it into a bit of a dirty secret, her secret fascination with Billy. I wonder what exactly is going on in his head as she's pondering what he's up to. I can only hope that they are both at this art exhibition. Update soon!

Author's Response: Thank you! I can tell you he will definitely be at the art exhibit.

Ah! Once again. You've taken a situation that would *squick* a lot of people and fashioned a very compelling tale. I love the dynamic of Billy knowing just that much more than she knows. It's very like Spike's intuition about her. And I love how Buffy senses things - almost on a primal level - which is so true to form for her as well. Just very well done, hon.

Oh, and the description of the kiss was spot on. To worry about spit and brushing their teeth - to approach it kind of like ... an art project! Just perfect for their age.

Author's Response: Thank you! I was very careful with the kiss; I didn't want it to be erotic or anything because they're kids. I projected my own kid-like thought processes into that moment.

even though I hate for them to part, I feel that it was the best for Tara to make this decision. "Buffy" needs to remember on her own. It's for the best. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: As a parent, I'm sure the moment when they kiss was mixed with a bit of cringing. They're still very much kids and they need to be protected. I always thought Tara would make the best parent out of all the characters on that show.

Soooooooo this is terrific, I'm hooked (never thought I wouldn't be). I didn't expect them to be able to remember so young or at all but I like it. You have great intuition about where each story needs to go and your characters all seem so real. I loved Tara's line about how Billy was conceived, hilarious dry British humor. I can picture her face as she says it. You have an amazing way of bringing every character to life in every story I almost think you just sit back and watch each chapter write itself. Can't wait for chapter 3!

Author's Response: Thank you first off, I think you're pretty terrific, too. The idea of them remembering too early was what made me want to write the follow-up. I would love to say I watch each chapter write itself, but a lot of times it doesn't work that way. Thanks for the wonderful praise!

Oh this is soooo gooood! Love the reincarnation thing. Billy is as devoted as ever to Buffy. I wish they wont have to separate....

Author's Response: Thank you! Your comment made me feel all tingly with pride!

So sad! SIGH. I love how you're handling this reincarnation. Having Billy be more aware makes sense and having him leave so that Buffy can have a real childhood Is heartwrenching but appropriate. The image of them brushing their teeth was hilarious and adorable:)

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your compliment of my handling. It was the juxtaposition of an old soul with a child's maturity and comprehension that made me want to write this piece. I almost see his knowledge of the past as part of his atonement for that previous life, and the decision he makes to let her find things out in her own way is part of his growth as a character. Glad you liked the tooth brushing. I was just thinking back to that age and how I was obsessed with sex but in a very, very childish way. Like the thought of kissing someone without brushing first would be the height of gross. Thanks for the wonderful comment!

It still pulls. I think I love most that he never questioned it was his Buffy, and that he's got the complete attitude and vocabulary of and adult with a tweens petulant pout! A pretty awesome juxtaposition. They have to do this, but how can anyone question that after defying death, they will find each other later in life? So ready for more. Update soon!

Author's Response: Thank you! It's amazing to hear somebody totally getting all the stuff I wanted to convey. So good to know it's coming across the way I intended. So pleased that you commented and are following the story.

Ok, that is a biy creepy to have adult mempries in a young body. Loved the update.

Author's Response: Thank you, and I was going for kind of uncomfortable there.I didn't want the kiss to be exploitive, but wanted to convey this sense of danger, really, because Billy has memories a kid shouldn't have.

I have the strangest reaction when I read your stories. I feel proud of you! Weird, huh? I just really like the choices you make, in both large and small ways.

The idea of Billy being Tara's child is great. (And it also makes me wonder if she managed that kind of mojo at a great cost or did the universe give her a freebie?)

Interested to see where you go with it. Another great job Minx

Author's Response: That's the sweetest thing you could have ever said. Thank you! The universe gave Tara a freebie. Their souls have a pull toward one another, and she was following the force of the universe when she made her series of uncharacteristic choices. If only we could all use that excuse in real life, huh? Thanks for the comment, I'm genuinely touched.

This makes me so happy! The nail painting was definitely my favorite detail--that and Mr. Gordo. I love that we get to see them through the parents perspective--we get to be in on the joke and they're hilariously clueless. Hope we continue to get this perspective and reaction as the story continues!

Author's Response: I'm glad I made you happy! The nail painting was the whole reason for the story. The thought of it cracked me up and disturbed me at the same time. Thanks for the insight and the comment!

Those tiny children are so right around the corner from running away together. As soon as the thought occurs to them. I wonder how much Tara did to figure out where she needed to go to find "Buffy." Though I suppose fate could have stepped in, too. Looking forward to more. Update soon.

Author's Response: Well, the soul bond is still very much in effect, which is why Tara could sense Buffy needed their help. All three of them are drawn to one another, they would have eventually come together--the purpose of the soul bond is the to find your loved one in the next life. Tara just knew Buffalo and that neighborhood was right.

I'm so happy that you are continuing their story! I must confess to being sad at the conclusion of Name even though you did manage to leave it on a positive note. This promises to be a more wonderful and complete conclusion to their story.

Author's Response: It won't end in death, I can promise you that!

Wow, they are so cute when they are little. And there are four, so wow painting her nails. That is just uber- cute.

Author's Response: My husband said it was like Spike and Buffy muppet babies when I told him about the concept, so yeah. Thank you for the comment!
