Awesome! That was better and more intense than the actually resurrection (which was pretty amazing in and of itself) so that is saying a lot. I love the way you changed things up - Willow soloing it; the inclusion of Dawn's blood for the ceremony; the step by step description of Buffy's resurrection; and Spike being there for her when she finally got out. Plus, reading about Spike trying to keep it together for her, which is so against his nature, drew me in completely. But enough with the cliffhangers!! lol

Amazing. Another captivating, original, and completely wonderful chapter. I knew you would write Buffy's actual escape from her coffin well, but I didn't know it would be so palpable it would move me to tears. It was the reference to the satin edged blanket given to Buffy by Joyce that broke the floodgates. Really impressive chapter. I loved how you drew out each scene to moments in time. This just enhanced the horrifying feel of it. Amazing that Gaia would appear to Tara and Dawn. I also loved that Spike could feel the presence of a powerful force in the air. I just wish I could have seen this chapter on television. All the action, the suspense, the drama, the quick cuts from one scene to the next would have made for one hell of an episode.

Evil.! Evil! Letting us hang there like that. lol This chapter rocked! I loved the multiple points of view. If done correctly, it always make a story more interesting in my opinion. Worked well here. I especially love how you are writing Willow and Dawn. Dawn because you have captured her pain and her adolecent reaction to that pain yet at the same time are allowing her to grow up. Willow because you are taking her in a direction the show did and pushing it even farther. Her power tripping is so evident in this piece. Tht last line of this chapter is a killer ending...I can just picture her eyes snapping open. Poor Buffy. :( More! More!

Ok, duh. I'm an idiot. Just completely forget my theorizing a few chapters ago on the prophecy Kirsten gave to Spike. I HAD to have been having a blonde moment. I think I undertand now. My guess is that "the yellow" is Spike (he can be trusted), and "the seer" could possibly be Drusilla. What does "dance with the devil" mean, and who is "the devil"? I wonder, does Dru perform some kind of spell to get her 'Daddy' back? Is that how Angel will be lost? Anyhoo, loved the cute misunderstanding with Dawn's social worker. It was kind of funny how the similarities between Dawn and Spike were conveniently ignored on the show. I hope you take this idea somewhere. It could be a very interesting plot device (and the look on Xander's face would be priceless). It's so sweet that Dawn secretly wants to be related to Spike. Your version of events for the resurrection (or as Willow terms "retrieval") was spellbinding. Reading it was like being perched between the edge of a knife and a precipitous ledge. I wanted to stop reading, but I couldn't tear my eyes away. I thought, though, that Buffy's body was supposed to appear in the white bullhide. Very, very, very fantastic chapter again. I am in awe of your talent, knowledge, and the level of care you place into each section and each character you write. This story could not be any more perfect than it is. Thank you again for the rapid update, and the gift of two chapters. I LOVE THIS STORY!!! May you be gifted with abundant amounts of free time and many plot bunnies for Christmas!

Oh wow. The hubris of this girl is astounding. Her ego could easily rival Angelus'. I cannot believe that she would use the woman she loves like that. And the fact that she continually refers to Dawn only as "the key" just makes my skin crawl. Her single mindedness, while admirable in some situations, can only lead to horrible consequences here. Thank you for the physical details of what Glory did to Spike. Those specifics really do enhance our understanding of the changed dynamics within the group. Also, thank you so much for displaying the thoughts of Giles' inner mind regarding Spike. His reasoning for trusting Spike has always been so obvious to all of us who understand Spike's character. Why JM can't understand this reasoning I'll never know. It was blatantly obvious that the love Buffy and Angel shared, while being true, was transitory. They filled immediate roles in each others lives that would not have carried into Buffy's adulthood and Angel's path of redemption. Thank you so much for detailing Giles' reasoning for trusting our favorite vampire/protector. Love the title 'Protector', btw!

*Slaps her head* - now I know why Willow was glad that Giles would be gone for long! Poor Spike ... *sigh* he takes it very hard. As does Dawn.

Oh my - when it rains, it pours! Now is Giles to leave ... I love the thought better that he left because of the council, not because he wants to.

Think this story is brilliant. Waiting on tenterhooks for more. It's interesting to read a story by someone who actually has an understanding of Wiccan lore. I'm with Shakespeare 'there are more things in heaven and earth.....'

Wow. So many new chapters in one day! I am officially in love with this story. I hate to say this, but...I think your version of events, so far, is more plausible than what the writers of BtVS came up with. As much as I love the show, this story just seems more cohesive and logical. For example, the Council having informants on the hellmouth. I always knew that both they and the Initiative had either persons or a system of communique on the hellmouth. I love the introduction of Kirsten and what she has to say. Her reference to "the seer" and "the souled one" - do they indicate Cordelia and Angel? Do you intend to bring events of AtS into play with this story? That would be impressive, and a very massive undertaking. Obviously, "the red one" and "the yellow one" refer to Willow and Tara. I am intrigued to see how far and how fast your Willow will be drawn to darkness (if at all). I also am sitting on pins and needles waiting to see how you bring Buffy back. I would hope that she is not too broken or un-Buffy like, but I trust whatever you choose to do with her. Like I said, I am loving this story. The changes you have made just keep impressing and intriguing me. Thanks for posting again so soon. Can't wait for more!

Thanks for the big update to day. This chapter was great. I love that you are bringing your knowledge of wicca and witchcraft to the story. The Willow section of this chapter was so dead on - her ability to delude herself about the danger of what she is planning and then her nervousness at not yet having every problem solved. I love the mystery element with Kristen and Spike's conversation and the prophetic words she spoke...I wanna know what this all means!! lol

Spike handled the Dawn 'situation' very well. Hope Dawn has found some sense now.
