So I am reading this for the first time and even though I am INCREDIBLY late to the party, I just wanted to tell you how wonderful this chapter (not to mention the ongoing story, characterizations, etc) was. Love it, thank you for posting this.

don't normally review til the end, I'm stingy that way, but there we go!
i love the way you'v e developed dawn, i always thought that there was more to her, and that she was never fully realised as a character. I think you've gone a long way to doing that. I'm also loving what you've done with Xander. We never really see the darker side of him, which is so clearly there underneath the comedy. His attitude towards Anya is great in this. And i like that Anya is being heard more be the rest of the Scoobies. She should have been full of knowledge, but it was never really tapped in the script. I adore the way this is headed

I'm sure that you probably wrote this months ago, so you no longer need to know what I the reader thinks about this chapter, but I can't imagine why you would have been nervous about something this perfect. Loved every word. Also I really hope you are feeling better. I can't imagine being in pain all the time when you are trying to be creative. Be kind to yourself sweetie.

That was so beyond sweet. I like the fact that Dawn just blurts out who her father is. Just like a child should. And yes it does make sense.

Oh, that was so beautiful! I'm crying as I type. I generally don't leave reviews to WIPs, but I'll make an exception for this one. Amazing characterizations, and love the use of Anya. She's one of my favourite characters and I always thought she was painfully underutilized. Bravo.

I just want to let you know how beautiful this chapter is and how wonderful this story is. I really love the tenderness between B/S and am loving the twists and turns the plot is taking. Thanks for allowing me to read this beautiful story.

I love it. I knew it would be good once the story came around to letting out the big secret. I've always loved the Spike/Buffy/Dawn dynamic. I love the particulars on the monks and how they've been trying to do this for a while, but Spike was always in their way. I love how it all came out and left the new family cuddled up on the bed. Very sweet moment there.

No way should you be nervous about this. It is awesome! I love seeing the three of them come together. I love seeing the research that Dawn put in paying off. She didn't want to tell them, but like things happen in real life, it came out. You wrote it well and the characters are true to life and themselves. I love it VERY MUCH. I look forward to the next update.

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. On the possitive side that means less of a wait for updates! This is the chapter I've been waiting for since the begining of Origins. You've done an awsome job. I was weepy too.
If I were Dawn I'd use Mom & Dad in private to address B&S and Daddy when I wanted something.
Author's Response: I'm sooo glad you said that. I wanted to know if I was the only crazy one who cried during portions of this chapter. Thanks for admitting it!

Been a horrible reviewer lately, but still reading and LOVING this story. Simply amazing. :)
Author's Response: Hey, its okay, all's forgiven. Thanks for the boost. It means alot!
Date: 05/12/2005 - 03:43 am Title: The ragged edges of truth
So touching and sweet.
Author's Response: Well, thank you so much for that. I tried as best I could with that scene.

I've been reading this 'Origins' (and the first one) for at least three days, and now...Now I have to be like everyone else, and wait the excruciating amount of time it takes for people to update, be it hours or days. I am LOVING this story, and really loving the perspective on Tara. I always thought that the writers neglected her as a character, and that she had the potential for an incredible amount of depth. So, only three questions.
1) When will we see Kirsten again, and who (or what) is she?
2) Will Dawn still call Buffy and Spike by their names, or will she them Mom and Dad? (Basically, is she gonna come clean with everyone else)
GREAT job. Update soon!
Author's Response: Three days!!! OMG. Thanks sooo much!! Um, actually, you sort of asked four questions. . . but. . . to answer them in order: perhaps soon; you'll find out when she comes around next time; Dawn hasn't made up her mind, but she's leaning toward Spike and Buffy . . . . 3 Days! Damn!

Great chapter! You managed to bring a whole gamut of emotions into it and it worked really well. Congratulations.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it.

Oh dearie no need to be nervous.....this was wonderfully done.........it brought tears to my eyes of sadness and happiness.......and now baby makes 4..........
Author's Response: Yeah, baby Connor makes 4. . . Thanks so much for your reivew, and I swear, I didn't mean to make anyone cry. . .

Good story so far, very well written and each character is written very in character. You are quite the talented writer and I can't wait to read more. Hope you get to feeling better, real life sucks.
Author's Response: Thanks for the good wishes. Real life does suck. Reviews like yours make me want to keep going. . . even when its hard. So thanks.

Finally! They know! I've been waiting forever! (that's not a compliant btw! I love the story) Wonder how everyone will react?

Oh, Nia, it's...I'm actually crying here! You made me cry! It's just so...it's gorgeous! And I'm crying, dammit!
Author's Response: Aww. . . slinky. . I didn't mean to make you cry. . . I really didn't.

Loved the way Dawn did say it - it was so naturally. Awesome chapter, indeed! Loved the little family.
Author's Response: *Grins* Thanks, and thanks so much for reviewing all the time. . . means a lot to me!

It worked beautifully. It was tender and emotional and oh so satisfying. Good job.
Author's Response: Thanks! It did kind of come together nicely.

Good chapter Nia. Like the way the turth came out. Much better than some planned and prepared meeting with a bunch of people who don't even belong there. - Yup, you've got it right, I don't think too highly of those so called Scoobie-meetings.
And the reactions were beautiful! Buffy really seems to be coming back to herself if the first thing she does is pout over Dawn not looking more like her :-)
Spike was great with her, but then, he always knew just how to handle Dawn...
Really good, looking forward to the next part.
Author's Response: Thanks! No. . . no scoobie meetings -- coz really, they don't exist as a group anymore. . . but I know what you mean. Spike has the Summers girls all pegged -- and they've both got him wrapped around their fingers. . . And, yeah, Buffy's on the road to herself.

Author's Response: Thank you soo much for reviewing all the time. I'm soo grateful that you like this story and tell me so. I"m really glad you are enjoying this!
Date: 05/10/2005 - 04:00 pm Title: The ragged edges of truth
YES!!!!!!! I LOVE this chapter! I am so glad that Dawn finally told Buffy and Spike that they are her parents. Woohoo! I loved their reactions to being told that they were her parents also. I LOVE this story!!
Author's Response: Thanks! Reactions like yours give me a boost and motivation to keep going.
Date: 05/10/2005 - 03:43 pm Title: The ragged edges of truth
This chapter was emotional without being overwrought. Spike and Buffy's reaction to the revelation rang true, and it solidified feelings they already held for Dawn. Buffy's petulant "She didn't get anything from me" was an amusing bit.
Author's Response: Oh, but can't you see her giving that exact reaction? Its just soo Buffy. Thanks for noticing that!
