I feared the worst first when Buffy announce visitors but it wasn't so bad (yet). But the reason behind Faith being bruised and beaten still means trouble ahead. I wonder what happened, Faith got treated very nasty but she was brave, saving herself and her children even if she was hurt herself.

Author's Response: yes there will be trouble ahead, but maybe not for Buffy. glad you enjoyed and thanks for the review

I know I don't review often, but I have to tell you this is really a good story. You have so many details, and different plots, and it is all very well written. Buffy may not be the slayer, but she shows so much strength and power and also compassion. I really love how all the characters play out. Your writing sends me a clear visual, which shows talent. Anyway keep up the great work and thanks
Debbie

Author's Response: thanks for reviewing this time. they really make my day. and thanks for all the lovely things you said about the story

I enjoyed the glimpses into William, Buffy and Connor's heads, I found their musings very insightful. All the talk of William and Tara returning home is so sad, but all good love stories have obstacles so I'm loving how things are progressing. Fantastic update as always!


Author's Response: many many thanks for the review. yes roads have to be rocky or the journey isn't worth while, the story has a long way to go yet.

Great update! :) I wish that William and Tara can stay there. And that Connor will marry Willow and Tara, so Buffy can have William :)

I just started reading this story, lack of time prevented me earlier and I just want to tell you that I adore it so much! I love the characters and the history. I've always had a fondness for reading Viking tales (I'm Swedish afterall) and I always like it when they aren't portrayed as brutes and rapists all the time. I have always loved the freedom women had at the time and the balance in the community which was quite different from the rest of the area at the time. The story is truly wonderful and I can't wait to read more :)

Author's Response: I love the period, and teach about it. I love the looks of surprise on people's faces when they find out just how many rights and privilidges women had in Viking society, and I'm trying to show it as best as we know. more soon when RL allows

So Buffy will have her place to stay when Connor gets married. At last she'll still be independent (having 'ruled' Connors 'halls' for a long time).
Indeed, being kidnapped had both Tara and William done a lot of good. But they have to go back.... I wonder what will happen then (but I think I'll read in time, right?)

Author's Response: oh yes you will read about the return to Saxon lands. more as soon as I can

Seems both Tara and William are adapting pretty well to their new lives, I don't think neither of them wants to go back any more. I'm enjoying this story so very much. Wonderful chapter!

I think I fell a bit behind with this story, I hadn't noticed you'd posted more chapters until now. *sighs* Well, I guess it's not too bad, I got a lot of chapter to catch up on with no wait in between. I loved the backstory on Buffy and her marriage and I love that she's already noticing William's... ahem, assets. *giggles* And of course, your descriptions as always are astounding. Off to read more!

Author's Response: my muse had a spurt of energy, I think she knows that The kids are off school soon and I won't be able to get to the computer:) glad you enjoyed more soon

And will there be a little Wm. jr. in the picture soon?
I guess along about now Wm.'s sorry excuse for a family will get around to ransoming him? Making it a distressing choice re: going back "home"???
Loving it! Keep up the good work, and update soon.
Oh, meant to tell ya about one of my first medieval events...it was in winter, a seriously BUTT-freezing winter for N. Fla. in February, near "Imbolc/Candlemas"-time...One of the communal cabins/small halls was all that was left for accomodations, as we hadn't bothered to reserve in advance. Turned out it was called or nick-named the "Hall of Eagles" as there were carvings or statuary of them atop the rustic building like gargoyles if I remember right; it was made using heavy hewn timbers and logs for the frame, & natural stones. Inside, it had large stone fireplaces at either end of the large basically one room hall, one being slightly raised up on a short dais. There was no light or heat but the fires, and perhaps candles. There were no bunks, and our group, on our end of the hall were practically like extended family, only 2 being unrelated by blood or relationship, and us closest friends. So, we all bunked down on the floor on pallets we made of blankets, plaids, cloaks, furs, even comforters & sleeping bags underneath it all; and we all were bundled as near to the fire as was safe. The next morning, we discovered the other party sharing our hall, rightly enough on & near the daised fireplace, was the King and his party of Queen, ladies, squires, etc, who'd travelled about 12-15 hrs by car & come in very late during the night. Just the bunking down about the fire on the natural stone floor in such a hall was one of those "deja vu" experiences that stick with you as almost real...

I don't always remember to review but I wanted to tell you how much I love this story. I don't know anything about this particular time in history but you have written this story so well I can see everything. Thanks for taking the time to put so much detail into it.

The Spuffy was great - very very sweet and sometimes sweet is good.

Buffy watched aurora borealis / northern lights with William? Never saw it in real just on the TV. Must look wonderful.

And here I thought William was going to faint from slaughtering pigs! Ah...so, Buffy is taking more of an interest in William...good! I've had Blood Pudding before, when I lived in England. It's an acquired taste. I preferred the Cornish pasties myself. Great update and sorry I haven't gotten to them sooner!

Yeah! Xander's a father! I think I like the rules of Viking/Norse society much better...sounds more compassionate, ironic, huh? I am very curious as to what's going to happe to Tara and Conner. And Buffy lived amoung the Saxons....curious to see in what capacity. Had a great Thanksgiving and thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Buffy didn't live with them, just met a few and didn't like what she saw, thanks for the review, yes in some ways the pagan viking style was more equal than the saxon way, in fact we had rights then that we haven't got now,thier divorce laws were fantastic
