Linden made quite an impression in this chapter, her conversation with William was very intiguing, her parting words to Buffy were also very interesting. Loved the storytelling scene, and the bits about Buffy and Faith adventures when they were children... lol! Wonderful update!
Author's Response: glad you enjoyed. If you ever meet the real Linden, she is an amazing woman who i am privilidged to call my friend. she restored my faith in people at a very dark time in my life.

Oooo a prophecy! What does Linden the Skald see???? Ooo William's sons, and Buffy's future is golden! At least some light in the dark world! The story was great! I can see why you love it. Great update, and thanks for posting it so soon!

Not how I remember the story of Thor and his hammer but basically the same but I guess there might be a few variations of it out there. Keep up with the good work.
Author's Response: glad you enjoyed, there are variations on every tale, and I just loved the idea of a warrior being made to dress in women's clothes and fetch his toy back

Awwww, I have such a huge smile in my face now. What Linden said, it truly warms my heart to know things will be good, even if it might be a hard road until they get there. Wonderful chapter, I just loved the story. *hugs*
Author's Response: many thanks, glad you enjoyed

Mission accomplished with your last chapter (your answer). And such a quick update, yay :)
Mmm Robin didn't like William and he let it show.
Enjoyed your tale! I always loved reading myths, legends and sagas. And Linden knows more. Good that it will turn all right in the end :)
Author's Response: linden is named for a Skald i know, who always knows more than she tells:)
thanks for the review

I like the description of the clothing they have on and are putting on. Nice detail.
Author's Response: many thanks, I'm trying not to lecture, but want to make it come alive

Great William/Faith interaction, it's good to see Faith looking out for Buffy and getting her strength back. I also like how Buffy is always so honest with William. There are no simmering misunderstandings between those two and I love that. :D Learning more about Buffy is always interesting too. Loved William's closing thoughts, he really has grown so much since he left the monastery. Wonderful update!
Author's Response: and He'll grow more. thanks for the review

Date: 01/22/2008 - 04:50 pm Title: chapter 17
The others reaction to Buffy's cooking was funny :) Faith too.
Enjoyed the update, William going through the motions. Maybe he won't be so jealous now :)
Author's Response: thanks for the review. i wanted to show William as very insecure, not sure of his place with Buffy's people

Date: 01/22/2008 - 12:17 pm Title: chapter 17
It's so heartbreaking to see how the situation is weighing on William, even knowing he has Buffy's love, he's torn between his love for her and for his mother. Unsure of his place while he remains with Buffy and the others. *sighs* Such a beautiful tale you're weaving. I love it!
Author's Response: many many thanks for the review, i wanted William completly torn, between heart and duty. there is plenty more to come

Date: 01/22/2008 - 10:56 am Title: chapter 17
Awww Buffy and William...sigh. I can't wait to observe the Thing! Great chapter as always!
Author's Response: the thing in a couple of chapters. but more soon. thanks for the review

Date: 01/22/2008 - 10:12 am Title: chapter 16
Sorry for not catching up til now, but oooo their off to the Thing. I'm so worried, I don't want Tara and William to leave the Vikings! Ugh, I can feel major angst coming! Sigh... my heart went all warm and fuzzy with the "I love you's." I really hope they can stay!
Author's Response: Yes there will be major angst warnings coming up... but that's in the future.
glad you enjoyed

Date: 01/22/2008 - 09:22 am Title: chapter 17
Lovely, you've made it again, another great chapter! Exactly what I needed :) Wiliam doesn't have to be jealous...
Author's Response: no he doesn't but he is in a very alien world and feeling insecure.
Thanks for the review.

Great chapter! Is William going with her to the Thing? I wonder what you have planned for this story!
Author's Response: this story is no where near over, and there is angst to come. you'll have to wait and see about William and the Thing

Date: 01/15/2008 - 02:18 am Title: chapter 16
Things sure are bustling in the Hall, and I'm finding all the preparations very interesting. Loved the sweet moment when William lifted Buffy onto the horse. Can't wait to read more. Fantastic chapter!
Author's Response: more soon and thanks for the review

Date: 01/15/2008 - 12:57 am Title: chapter 16
Hey, me again...
I didn't get it for sure...I know Tara had to stay behind w/Willow (sure it's no hardship, haha) but I wasn't clear as to whether or not William got to go adventuring on the trip to the Thing (weren't those also called AllThing?) w/Buffy, and Connor, Faith and entourage? Or did he have to remain behind behind the Pale at the Hold?
I'm so enjoying this William, (even as we all often adore the badboy Spike as well) and enjoying watching his emergence to true manhood. I would like to see more of his skills and talents (the G-rated, Hold-friendly kiind!), perhaps emergence to warrior-hood somewhat (ie, something worth fighting for) as well as his scribing, clarking (clerking) ? and possibly even bardic talents (which kinda can go hand in hand w/scribing/historian/story-teller) ...this would be the perfect opportunity to develop bardic skills, for who better, as a people, to learn from (ie in light of JM's musical/dramatic talents...)...just some imput...
Thanx!

Author's Response: yep, they'll be more of william growing up as it were, he's going to the Thing. Faith is staying behind, Connor will speak for her
the All thing was the big one, in Norway it was held in the Southeast of the country.

Oh, I am SOOOO glad to see an update from you!!!!
Sorry to hear you were sick, and I hope you recover well! I was sick a tad too, a li'l bronchitis from buddies chain-smoking on New Yrs Eve...AND dealing next w/ Mr. Fyreburned (aka now Mr. NOT-so-Frisky!)'s 16th heart attack & congestive heart failure---really really nearly LOST him...but he pulled another miracle outta that same place that Buffy apparently hides her extra stakes....! Should be leaving hospital's cardiac Unit next few days...SOOO, I have been SOOO jonesing for an update on this fic! I've been checking daily several times w/bated breath! My galpal/former roomie "Aislinn" even came up this w/e to ck on me & Mr. F....She is aware of the living history group you belong to and respects it a LOT. I will haveta get some pix of her in her garb sometime and show ya...I was explaining to her what you were doing w/this fic and that it wasn't the usual fluffy or crack-fic or pwp fic...you're sneakin' some learnin' in on us whether we all like it or not...
Hey, we've got a cold front here now where I live, it got down past 50 deg F last night!!! *snicker*...was cold 'nuff my buddy Aislinn from South Fla. was pulling out a sweater and pulling it on...me, I was in a sleeveless denim shirt, saying it felt good, and being 40-something said at this age a gal is NEVER cold, or cold enuff!
I am loving, no just eating up this fic, jonesing bigtime, and just can't wait til you update some more, & more!
Thanks for the adventure so far, and TIA for what will come, (pardon my ebullience!)

PS:
You marked this one as 16. = chapter 17. Typo or is one chapter missing? I just checked but I already read the previous one. I thought for a moment I've missed one :)
Author's Response: thanks for catching the typo. will correct it now.

Date: 01/14/2008 - 03:47 pm Title: chapter 16
All the women in the hall are really busy. Like a big spring-cleaning. Too bad indeed that both (William and Tara) have to go back because of it's the honorable thing to do... I thing they would be welcome.
So they are off to the Thing on horseback now.
Looking forward to it (what that will bring, how it will go out).
Author's Response: arrival at the Thing Next chapter if my muse will let me:)
thanks for the review.
