Awesome story, mate!

wow! You pack a lot of story into a little space! And in case that was ambiguous, I like it. I really hated it on the show when Oz left. I didn't so much care that he and Wills had broken up, but I missed him.

I had to stop reading to laugh when I read the words "Cordy wondered if this meant Angel was free"!
this is a good story and I'm glad there is more than one chapter this time.

"Control yourself, man." Giles shook his head. "You're a master vampire, not a lovesick teenager."
ANd
"Who are you, and what have you done with Angelus." Spike gave Angel a surprised glance. He turned to Buffy. "He's never given up without a fight b'fore."

Both made me giggle.

I've never read the first story, but you've done a good job with this chapter setting up what happened in the past without dragging the story down with details from it.

great story!

Oh it's over! Moop. Okay, so Angel shows his true selfish colours, everyone else is happily paired (or trio'd) off and the worst of what was to come has now been avoided. And aw, Buffy & Spike eventually get to be together in Heaven. Sweet.

I think I was reading this fic over at VK, so I'm glad to have found it again.
Can't quite see Jenny Calendar and Angel together somehow and I see they are having the same trouble. Are Willow/Oz/Tara a threesome? That would totally rock.
Oh! A Goddess wants to 'fix it'! Well that explains it. I wonder how much she's going to tell them of 'what might have been'...?

well done on another great chappy :)

ok maryperk you know your a great writter,but man are you evil when it comes to updates!You started this story forever ago let it drop,then started up again and gave us hope.Now you've droped it again.Your so Evil!
Stop hanging with Angelus and get back on track or I'll tell santa to give you coal in your stocking!

I just adore this fic! Have seen it for some time now, tho' for a while there I thought it was one that'd been filed to permanent WIP status....but was excited to see several updates lately...and after reading parts 4 & 5 tonight, I am so glad!
The matches in the fic are great! At least so far! Some make us extra-romantic types go 'awwwww' , and some to go 'uh-huh...' (Giles & Joyce for starters...) and actually I guess Cordy & Doyle kinda fit both of those...some are a hoot, such this Xander & Anya proved to be within the first few words, and on some the jury isn't in on yet----I'm a little worried about quite where it's going between Angel & Jenny, tho' I do think that it is ironic for him to be with a descendent of their tribe...(wow...the thought of Vince Kartheiser in sexy gypsy peasant boy clothing could kinda do it for a girl....if I was 20 yrs younger! And wouldn't he being the offspring of Jenny & Angel just BE ironic? Talk about giving a tribe new life....OK putting the overactive 2 y/o called 'my imagination' back in it's cage) especially as soulmates...and then we come to our final threesome--
Thank gawd somebody else out there in fandom could see the writing on the wall behind their computer! It does not say "Dell was here too" ---it says 'feed Kennedy to Angel' ~AND~ that a threesome made up of Willow, Oz, and Tara is way better in the longrun! And probably would've kept Willow off the magick juice!
Thanks, am enjoying it and hope to see more soon!
~~K.~~

Glad to see the update anyway! It almost seems as if Willow and Cordelia are being okay for Buffy and Spike being together. What troubles Buffy more is that Joyce married Giles. But I don't think that Spike will hate Buffy like Buffy thinks. Looking forward to the next part :)
