How cute was the moment where Spike gave Dawnie the knife and told her to be careful? SOOOOO CUTE! *sniff* It just made me all fluffy and warm inside. It was kind of like a rite of passage - and maybe even more symbolic if my hunches regarding Dawn's genetics are correct. *crosses fingers* I'm just gonna bask in the loving, fluffy parts of this chapter a sec. *visions of picket fences* Ok, I'm basked. I'm glad Xander apologized...well, if you could call that half-assed thing an apology. Your Buffy was right though, there's too much going on right now to focus on the little grudges of a little man. Thank you for Giles' much more calm and mature speech to the couple. It was very Gilesish. Not approval, but not hostility. I really am enjoying your Giles, as opposed to the Giles we saw in seasons 6 & 7. I REALLY did not like Giles in season 7, and wasn't too happy with his decision to go back to England during season 6. I realize Anthony Head's decision to go home was responsible for this move, but it still didn't sit well with me. I'm glad that Spike is starting to realized the correlations of the prophecy and current events in their lives. That seems to be the key to figuring out this whole mess. I just adore how you emphasize Spike's intelligence and attention to detail. Two final things, 1)I like that you included Tara's doubts as to whether her relationship with Willow still exists, and 2)Anya's thoughts about Xander's level of demon predjudice was a very nice addition. It seems as if they are all doubting their relationships with each other. This can only spell more angst!, which only makes the story better in the end (at least in my opinion). This insecurity about each other is very humanizing. You make the characters really come alive by showcasing these insecurities. Wonderful chapter again Nia! I cannot wait to see if the day patrollers find anything.

Well Well Xander apologized to Buffy...he did not do so to Spike really...I mean it was lip service as Xander is sooooooo good at....I am really enjoying you bringing Tara forward...she is finding her voice and using it well...Giles giving his warnings like a good fatherly figure...but all in all I believe that the only one who really has a problem is Xander...all the others seem to except Spike and Buffy...Ahhhhhhh the consequences of magicks starting to unravel even more as Willow made a seriuos no no no and pissed off the universe...and now it is raining the hell houndes...hmmmmmmm I doubt it will stop her from abusing things that she has no idea about...but all in all I can't wait to see her get what is due to her....Dawn patrolling that was a big step for big sis to let her go...But good to see Buffy able to delegate again.....Excellent bringing together the ties of the emotions that were swirlling around the room....I feel a big BANG coming on in one form or another...hehehehehehehe though i perfer it to be with Buffy and Spike *laughs*

it was nice to see that xander doesn't really hate spike. there is hope....well, a girl can right. his appology was halfhearted but i expected that. actually i expected him to walk out. i was pleasently surprised that he did not. i wasn't surprised by glies' fatherly warning. i would expect as much from him conserning buffy. i did like that he treated them as adults and more impotantly buffy. i do wonder who the hounds are after. my first thought was willow. glies said it wasn't buffy but how does he really know. well i guess i will jsut have ot wait and see and enjoy all the twists and turns

Hey! Great chapter again!
Xander is very annoying. I'm glad not only Buffy, the other Scoobies too stood by Spike. And Giles too. Never thought he would.

How can you get better with each chapter and yet you do? More.
Date: 01/14/2005 - 03:24 pm Title: Walk through the fire
You made fantasies come true for those of us who many times were appalled by Xander’s judgmental and hypocritical behavior throughout the series and cringed at the oblivious treatment by ME towards it. Great!
Date: 01/14/2005 - 10:04 am Title: Walk through the fire
Wow. Great Chapter. Glad to see Zander put in his place. Hopefully Spike and Buffy will be ok. Hoefully the rest of the scoobies will be suportive towards spike and buffy. Please update soon and ofthen. Thanks for a great story

You're vision of this is so much similar to mine. I love how you write your characters and I would've so wanted to see this as a season seven on tv than what it actually was.
Date: 01/14/2005 - 02:52 am Title: Walk through the fire
I just giggled all the way through. Loved it. I'm sure this chapter will be reread again and again. It's so satisfying.
Date: 01/14/2005 - 12:41 am Title: Walk through the fire
good for Buffy!
Date: 01/13/2005 - 10:43 pm Title: Walk through the fire
I'm all for a little tempered Xander bashing. He bugged me so much in the series. Josh once said that Xander's character was the closest to real life of any of the characters (being flawed as it is), but I have to say enough when it comes to Xander always being so blind about Buffy and his hatred for both Angel and Spike (and I'm not even an Angel/Buffy fan). Anway great chapter!
Date: 01/13/2005 - 09:59 pm Title: Walk through the fire
Wow - that chapter was a doozy! An amazing scene on the stairs ("NOW we go"... tee hee) followed by Xander getting the retribution he should have gotten on the show, but never did. I actually don't think that Xander went much more overboard here than in canon. Although he did havea valid excuse in Season 6 with Seeing Red, I thinhk his treatment of Spike has always revealed more about Xander's own character than it did Spike's. So, bravo and thank you! Now, get them back on the stairs already!
Date: 01/13/2005 - 08:51 pm Title: Walk through the fire
LOVED it! Stupid Xander - althought this was a little extreme Xanderhatred anger, not too out of character for my tastes. I love Tara stepping up and telling it to Xander. And the moment between Buffy and Spike on the stairs before...sigh. I love this story.
Date: 01/13/2005 - 08:27 pm Title: Walk through the fire
Wow. I wasn't prepared for Xander to go postal. He does have issues with anger though, so I'm not surprised. He also has maaaaajor issues with vampires due to his best friend Jesse being turned and his jealousy of Angel. If someone would have addressed those issues long ago, Xander might not be the pillock he is today. Faulty reasoning, misplaced aggression and blame, etcetera, ecetera. Xander is in serious need of therapy, always has been, always will be. That, and a swift kick in the butt. While his actions are suspect, his motives are true. Xander always has been loyal to a fault. Where his loyalty gets him in trouble though is how it has spun off into resistance to change. If one cannot grow and accept change, one cannot grow. I hope that Xander can come to some understanding with them. I think you wrote this confrontation very well. Very good action, great support from Giles, and wonderful defense from Buffy. Xander, at this point in his life, was at his most resistant to change - what with Buffy dying, his moving out on his own, becoming very serious with Anya, the shifting dynamics of the group. It is no surprise that he would take out his anger and fear of the changes he has been forced to undergo this past year on the "thing" that he perceives to be threatening his place in his "family". I do hope that friendship with Xander is salvageable and that this doesn't divide the group. Xander may be young, immature, and hot-headed, but he is family. Hopefully Anya, with her abundance of common sense, can straighten him out. She's the best thing that's ever happened to that boy. And now I sound like my Grandma. Gah! Oh, btw...the scene on the stairs between Spike and Buffy was TEH HOT! Poop on Xander for totally ruining the mood :P

congratulations on your nominations...wow...three....that is huge...you must be so proud........let me tell you how much i enjoyed the scene on the stairs. that will keep me going for a while.........LOL. Xander deserved the smakdown. he deserved one on the show but it never came. iwas very dissapointed in that. i thought his behavior was abhorent. xander can't think he can just say whatever he wants b/c hes human and spike is not. hes jealousy is coming thru in technocolor now. i liked taras barrier spell and i loved the way you had everyone come to spikes defence. bravo and about time they stood up for him
Date: 01/13/2005 - 07:27 pm Title: Walk through the fire
XANDER IS A COMPLETE ASS. I DON'T THINK HE WOULD HAVE ACTED THAT WAY IN THE SHOW THOUGH. I MEAN, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FREAKED BUT HE WOULDN'T HAVE SAID ALL OF THOSE THINGS OT BUFFY IF HE HAD FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM EARLIER. THAT'S WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOU THE SIXTH SEASON. BUFFY AND SPIKES RELATIONSHIP WAS KEPT FROM EVERYBODY. XANDER WAS SAYING ALL OF THIS STUFF ABOUT BUFFY BEING STUPID FOR SLEEPING WITH SPIKE BUT HE WAS SEEYING ANYA. SHE WAS AN EX DEMON. I GUESS ANYA AND SPIKE HAD SOMETHING IN COMMON. XANDER JUST DIDN'T WANT TO ADMITT THAT HIS SITUATION WAS A LITTLE LIKE BUFFY'S. ANYA HAD TRIED TO KILL THEM ONCE BEFORE TOO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I REALLY LOVE THIS STORY.

Just read entire story up until this point. This is a great story and I have to say I think you read my mind. Not that I could write it myself or anything, but I definitely had a lot of the same thoughts when it came to the story line of BTVS. I can't wait until the next chapter. Thanks!
Date: 01/12/2005 - 12:52 am Title: To watch the night in storms
I don't want it to end...I absolutely never want this story to end. so just keep writing for all eternity and the world will make sense. so good, please keep it up.
