Sue - you are a fantastically talented writer. Where did you get the idea for this story? It's so good. I don't normally read AU unless it's futurefic, but I'm excited and inspired by yours. And excellent angstiness. I wish I could read more right now, but must fix dinner.... But soon :)

Another excellent read! My heart aches for Spike. And for Buffy, too. And Ethan Rayne's in the mix now. Very interested in what's to come.

"Sitting on their assets..." LOL. Their connection is so intense. And Willow's on the search. Oh, and I love your portrayal of Tara. She's so serene and loving, just like Tara!

And, interesting turn with Riley and Sam. Very interesting. I can't wait to see what Robin, Riley and Sam are going to bring to this increasingly intriguing story.

What an emotional trip this chapter is! It starts out so sweetly, and then Buffy gets a little freaky... I really like what Clark said about his dad. Very insightful. Eager for more, as always. I'm so glad for the updates.

Grrr. The Immortal. I'm so hoping there's a pounding in store for him... I'm concerned too for Xander and Issa. This story is so much more than a simple Spuffy pairing. It is full of energy and adventure. I'm loving every paragraph.

Author's Response: Yea, I hate the Immortal too! That's why it'll be fun to give him a swift beat down! Thanks for your kind reviews, Celeste!
