I am really enjoying your use of Lawson in this fic! I always thought he was really interesting and didn't like the way the show simply discarded him without bothering to develop the character . What else is new? Anyway, that is where wonderful fanfiction writers like you come in, right? Still loving this story.

I'm seriously impressed with this story and it just made my personal favs list. I emailed myself a link and your nom de plume just so I can' accidently miss the ending. Wow doesn't cover how wonderful it is and I catch myself holding my breath a lot. No suggestions for future work cuz obviously you know what your are doing. Can't wait to see how it all ends but in the meantime I am going to read anything else you have ever written. Hope the review helps you as much as the story made my days better. Lorias

Who is Robbie? I have been wondering about this for a while.

Great chapter with so much happening. I'm very curious as to what has happened in the future. The situation with both Jenner and Lawson is very interesting -- so many elements in this story hook you. (I'm going to use Gail S from now on so as not to cause any confusion since there appears to be another Gail sometimes reviewing.) Thanks as always for the story.

I absolutely can't wait to see the conversation between Lawson, Spike, and Buffy.

I enjoyed the resolution with Kristen, about her 'sneaking out'. A good scene.

Giles, Wesley, Faith, and Jonathon. Now there's a team. I like the inclusion of Jonathon in a positive and active role in this fic. I always liked his character, and your idea to make Willow's spell similar in nature to his was brilliant.

Eagerly anticipating more.

tgreat update. Sad to see Kirsten go, but nice to see that maybe the Willow's spell is on it's way to being broken. *fingers crossed*

Can't wait for more!

More, more I need and want more...........I always thought Angel was a bad cruel man for what he did to Lawson......for having a soul he was rather souless with him.........

First: Congrats! Now to the reading: ~ Hehe Anya *gg* It's always fun to read. *Sniff* So Kirsten had to go. She has a nifty gift. And Willow has changed Tara's feelings. Always with magic when something doesn't go as it should. Argh.. now I'm wondering what Lawson wants! Cliffhanger again. :) Till next one!

Oh gosh...i hate to make predictions, but damn am I excited!! I am so feeling the love for Sam and his desire for love and family. So much like Spike. I can't wait to see his reactions to Buffy, Dawn, and Connor.

Oh Oz, how I love him so. He loves Tara and while in a million years I would have never imagined them together, their relationship and its evolution have me enraptured. *squees*

You have set the stage now and things are falling right into place. I am so excited for the next chapter. I love how everything is coming to head. This was a wonderful bridge to pull some more ends together and I love it. Thank you for updating so quickly!

Favorite Parts:

Neither one of them spoke, waiting for Kirsten’s next move. She stepped forward to hug them one more time and smiled nervously when Spike whispered, “I’ll see you after, bit.”

Hiding the frisson of fear creeping down her back, she stood away from them, and ducked her head, unwilling to meet his intense gaze. “Okay Daddy.”

-and-

Meaningless sex was fulfilling if that’s all he was looking for, but Sam was tired of multiple partners and no real intimacy. If he was human, he’d think about settling down and getting married, but that fate had been taken away from him. Hell, right now he’d be happy with a dog for companionship.

Maybe Spike had some insight for him – something – a reason.

He’d come too far not to try.


Wonderful update, can't wait for more!!
Cheers!

Author's Response: Two gorgeously long reviews from you for the last two chapters -- thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how the story is affecting you. It means a lot to me to see -- and to have someone quote me as well. *vbg* There's still a whole lot of story left to tell. . . . . so keep an eye out.

Seems like the shadows will be given light before long. the lies will be brokend and the consequences of actions set into motion. I can't wait. The scene with Kirtsten was so touching. She is so much like her parents, taking the risks that are needed to save one of her own. Damn the girl is talented.

Now was is Sam Lawson up to? Will he help Spike decifer what has been going on around them.? I feel Angel's army going to pot in a hurry too. This was a fantastic chapter. You wrapped up Kiirsten's thread so wonderuflly. Giving the closer that was needed by the character's and the readers. Thank for you being such an amazing writer. YOu are awesome. CONGRATS on the new awards too.

Great Chapter Nia

This is gonna be a interesting convo. Spike as unlife coach.And the imprinting thing makesw sense too. It would explain why he was so stuck on Dru for so long.
