I'm patient - I'll just read on and see where it leads :) It's more difficult reading this one as a WIP - it's better to read everything in one rush. But I won't stop doing that now - I just read on :) Seems as if Spike had found Connor now.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're still with me! Don't worry, it'll all make sense in the end. ;-)

Great chapter! I really enjoyed it. I want to thank you for suggesting I read "Love Letters" again. I hadn't forgotten Joni was the key . I just wanted to backtrack and read about Talitha's dreams of Spike. Cause for brief moment there I had mistakenly thought Talitha was carrying Spike's child. So thanks again for clarifying she wasn't. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading, M.G. Sometimes my readers are what gets me through writer's block. That... and the occasional visit to "Sunnydale" via my dvds.

Spike has to come to get 'us'? Wonder who it is besides Jonina: Angel?
And if I read right now then Jonina is really Spike's daughter? When she got his blood? *scratches head* Did give Spike Jonina a syringe? Or did he take blood? Maybe the first.. trying to get her immune to the Lace.
Author's Response: This is where the time travel aspect comes into play. Spike dosed Joni trying to make her immune to "Lace."

Awe - therefore Jonina is where Angel is. And I wondered why she was in hell with Angel (even if Holland brought her there). Angel is caring for Joni in the meantime? Mmmm-hmm. Wonder who grandpa is: Holland? Homer? Ah I see - you wrote it. *Reading on*
Author's Response: Holland said it wasn't Hell. Spike just assumed so. After all that's where Spike expects to be so why wouldn't Angel? Remember "Glass" and "Minor Keys" Buffy wanted to follow Spike... well...

Date: 11/21/2005 - 08:49 am Title: Undertow
At the begin of the chapter: I'm glad Buffy 'came back'. Spike? Glad he can comfort his daughter as Homer. So he (Spike) killed Angel. Well - that won't bring Spike Joni back. Well - I'm reading on to find out.
Author's Response: I don't think he was thinking clearly at the time. *Can you blame him?*

I loved Spike's meeting with the Conduit... it was so insightful. As was Holland's conversation with Angel. The Spike and Joni blood sharing twist makes me really curious to learn more about Talitha. So I think i'll go find the Talitha parts of the story. Fantastic chapter! I really enjoyed it.
Author's Response: M.G.- I love that you want to find clues, but the key is't with Talitha. It's with her *baby.* Check "Love Letters" again.

Date: 11/20/2005 - 10:01 pm Title: Inside Out
She has Spike's blood!? Whoah! When I think you're done with the twists you throw another one. I love it!
Author's Response: The key is with Joni...it always has been. ;-)

Things are coming together very nicely. I can't wait to find out if the "he" who is coming for Joni is Spike or Conner. Here's me making with the questions again... Joni aged during her time in the White Room will she return to being a baby when she gets rescued? Wonderful chapter!
Author's Response: I'm glad you see that things are starting to fit. To answer your question, she will be older,but not as old as Connor was when he came back.

Date: 11/17/2005 - 09:40 pm Title: Stix And Stones
Gandpa? Is she talking about Homer? He takes care of the stones, right?
Author's Response: That would be Grandpa, yes. Also, I'm not sure if it's Greek or Roman myth, but the there is a river Styx in the underworld. Hence the name for the chapter. Keep reading.

Ha, Angel bit the big one. I might care in other stories, but in yours I don't.
Author's Response: I'm not sure, is that a compliment? ;-) I'm gonna take it as one anyway.

I love the time skipping in this story. This is quite a web you've spun and it's a lot of fun to tease out the different time lines and guess what's going to happen next.
Author's Response: Thanks. I love to keep people guessing. ;-)

Date: 11/14/2005 - 04:28 pm Title: Undertow
I love this story, so much going on back and forth it sometimes hard to keep track but still it's very well written and well thought out.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I know it can get confusing, but bear with me. ;-)

Date: 11/14/2005 - 03:16 pm Title: Undertow
Whether Angel stays dust or not... gotta love the thought of Angel getting what he deserves. Things are really getting exciting now. Can't wait for more! Great chapter... I just love this story! :-)
Author's Response: Thanks M.G. I thought he deserved it by now, too.

So in 2005 Angel did betray Spike and let Holland take Joni away. How did she came back I wonder? Because later she was there... I sooo need to read it all together when it's finished.
Author's Response: read on and find out!

*sigh* Spike took alot upon himself to save them all - and now he's dying. Very hard for Buffy indeed. She knows very well where Spike has to go through.
Author's Response: I figure it''s kinf of the reverse of "Buffy" season six. She knows what he's going through and can't do anything to stop the hurt. She wants to stop him from destroying himself, but he won't let her.

Yeah .. seing Buffy ill is a kind of hell for Spike. *runs to catch up with the chapters*
Author's Response: It's gonna get worse before it gets better.

Date: 11/12/2005 - 07:07 am Title: The Devil You Know
Ah, it seemed too easy for Spike to get Angel there. But the ending revealed it all. Oh, poor baby Joni. I hope they get her back soon.
Author's Response: Remember a few chaps back, the trauma Joni doesn't remember? Well...

Date: 11/12/2005 - 06:24 am Title: The Devil You Know
I really liked your take on the Home Office's manipulation of Angel. I just love how Joni's grief and love for her parents buggered up their brilliant and presumably foolproof plan. After reading the conclusion of the chapter it made the Angel bashing even more sweeter to read. Spike really pummeled him good... and bad me really enjoyed it! Fantastic chapter!
Author's Response: If it looks too easy, it probably is. Spike may be asking for Connor's help soon.

Date: 11/11/2005 - 12:45 pm Title: Ring Of Truth
Conner is coming up? Cool. I like him. You almost had me crying with Spike dying and all. I might have except I got interrupted. Pooh, I hate it when that happens. Ruins the mood.
Author's Response: Yep. Spike might be needing his help soon.

Date: 11/10/2005 - 08:22 am Title: Ring Of Truth
What a detailed description of the effects Lace. Poor Spike what a horrible way for him to die. I guess Spike's deal to die in Buffy's place is set in stone. But it's good to see Spike using his knowlege of Wolfram and Hart to his advantage. Can't wait to find out how that works out for him. Good update!
Author's Response: Connor coming up. Keep reading, M.G.

Date: 11/08/2005 - 07:36 am Title: Cosmic Shuffle
Whoa, things are very interesting now. And they make sense. Yay.
Author's Response: *Jumping up and down* Yay! She's catching on now. *Gives Spike a big kiss for helping me to convey my story so that you can understand.* Keep reading:-)

Date: 11/08/2005 - 05:46 am Title: Cosmic Shuffle
Interesting twist... that Joyce also sent ghostly Spike to visit the widowed and broken Buffy. I knew Buffy was in a bad way but I didn't think it was life threatening. I'm wondering since Buffy already has "Lace" in her blood if she'll get sick before Joni is five? I'm really enjoying all the twists. I like stories that keep me guessing. Good update!
Author's Response: Thanks. Remember, Slayers take a *long * time to manifest symptoms. Buffy may have started as far back as "Tremors". ;-)

Joni is cute: "That's okay Daddy. I’ll make you warm." And with her love she is doing it. Beautiful written - and sad again. I hope Buffy will understand the meaning of the flowers.
Author's Response: I'm glad you've caught up;-) Buffy will understand...eventually.

Date: 11/06/2005 - 05:01 am Title: Generational Curse
No - this isn't fair: Spike has to suffer, has to forget Buffy and Joni and Angel will get Spike's family? Not fair - this is torture for Spike. Angel? I fear Holland will talk him into evil again.

Date: 11/06/2005 - 04:55 am Title: What If
That was sad and yet lovely, the talk. Bittersweet - yeah, that fits the chapter.
