Hi there! So, I came across your stories at the beginning of the week, and roared my way through 'Origins' in two and a half days... needless to say, I haven't been up to much else! But, your prose captivated me - far more than any summer classes I'm taking now have managed, too. This is actually my first review written for a story on this site. I know it's bad form, but I'm definitely more of a lurking presence here than an actively participating reader. However, I have been compelled to respond to your words. They're brilliant! Now, I'm not totally sure of the etiquette involved, as far as reviewing something that has already been completed.... 'cause, it won't do much good in the editing process, if the story has already been finished, right? But, then again, everyone likes to know that their work is appreciated, right? So, I've gotta say, once again.... this is brilliant! What sparked my need to review was my (Or is it 'were my'? I'm not so hot with grammar...) reactions to Willow, throughout this 'book'. I just..... I can't believe her! Your portrayal of her character within this story evoked a rather visceral reaction in me, and it wasn't pleasant, either. Part of me is like, "Marisa, she's a fictional character", while another part of me responds with, "So? I wanna smack her anyway". I had noticed a trend on the part of the BtVS writers to let Willow off easy, with a shrug and an "I'm so cute and red-headed" and a plate full of guilt-cookies, especially when she basically began acting out like a child in a temper. And, that totally bugged me. In your work, I can hardly stand Willow's motivations. I mean, it's all her fault! And, she keeps digging her hole, making it worse. Annnnyway... I guess what I wanted to say was, thanks for this. I haven't felt this aggravated by, or this drawn to, a character within a work of fanfic (even a character from canon) in a long while. I totally hope she gets her comeuppance, but good. So, thanks for writing this - if it weren't for you, I might actually be writing papers instead, and this is MUCH better. :-) I hope this finds you well, and though my review may not actually help any in terms of actual story-editing, it should let you know that you are appreciated by at least this reader.
Sincerely, Marisa

LOVE all your fics, please oh please keep them coming!

First time reviewer here...just finished reading all of Origins, thank goodness for holiday days off ;-) because I was very quickly hooked. I've rarely read a fic this well written and entertaining, and it's been a delight to read so far. I wish you a happy holiday as well and all the best in the new year. Thank you so much for sharing your talent for writing with all of us!
Take care,
Eve

Ah, things are starting to converge.

I just discovered this story recently, and I am really, really enjoying it. I love the complex world you've created, and I can't wait to see how Willow's spell is resolved. Happy, and especially Healthy, Solstice to you, and thanks for sharing this wonderful story with us.

Oh dearie......it's seems to be coming together....soon they will see Willow's betrayl of bretrayal's and I hope that hound drags her far far away.......to never be heard from again..........

Great chapter, lots of stuff happening that brings the story forward. I'm interested in this Jenner guy and what he will do.
