I love this story! Will they discover Willow's spell soon? Can't wait to find out.

i absolutely loved this chapter! i apologize because I haven't been reviewing as frequently as before. But I have never lost interesting in this story :) I love the fact that Faith called Buffy and I'm so nervous about Angel following Dawn! I hope your shoulder feels better - I know I personally will read this story whenever you get a chance so I hope you don't feel pressured to continueing writing through the pain. :) Keep up the fantastic work - I love where you have taken the characters and how it still feels true to the characters. Thank you for the time that you have devoted to this story! feel better soon :)

Ooooh! Really good as always. Love this story. Hope your arm feels better. Thanks for writing.

Nia - Wow! This last chappy is so....just....wow! The Buffy and Spike bathroom scene was so sweet and romantic! All the suspense you have built in this story has me on the edge of my desk chair (which, btw, is dangerous since it has wheels!) in eager anticipation for whatever your clever mind has in store for us!! Keep up the great work!

Man, there's just so much going on here. Dawn and Casey being stalked by Angelus-- can't we just kill the poof? Or maybe a spell? Isn't that what Willow is best at? Using her magick to screw with everyone else when things aren't going her way? (Color me not surprised that her spell is falling apart.)

I love that Oz recognized Tara's scent and knew to go to the Magic Box. Score 2 for the Watchers that they've been supportive and helpful even though they don't know what's caused the situation they are all in.

The Spuffy moment was perfect...er,..minus the morning sickness...

Now, back to Angelus stalking Dawn and Casey. There is absolutely no good that can come of this. I can see things getting very bloody very fast. If Angelus hurts -or worse- Dawn, Spike's gonna go psycho. The question is, who'll get dead first? Willow for doing a spell in which no one remembers they've got a souless Angel running around.

Or will Spike go for Angelus' throat first for daring to harm his daughter.

Hmmmmmmmm......uh, more please? How's that arm?

Wonderful chapter. I love how Spike and Buffy are dealing together. I like your characterziations of Oz, Wesley, Giles, and Dawn so much in this chapter. All very true. I can't wait to see what happens next.!

On another note, I do hope your shoulder begins to feel better.

Angelus' malevolent stalking of Casey and Dawn was an excellent counterpoint to all the positive discoveries at The Magic Box. Buffy and Spike's scene in the confines of the bathroom was emotional and the sense of comfort and closeness was palpable. Willow's spell has put everyone on edge and the tension was well defined throughout the chapter.

This is an excellent take the consequences of selfishness. Tabula Rasa is in my top five BtVS shows, and the way you're exploring it here is every bit as good as the show. In some ways, better. The creeping tension as the scenes shift back to Dawn and Casey being stalked by Angelus (which also answered my last chapter question of whether Angelus had been affected by Willow's spell); the growing fear inside of Willow... not quite remorseful, but she's uncomfortable; Oz's wolverine instincts; Giles and Wes's watcher instincts nagging at them and, finally; Buffy and Spike unwavering in their bond. Oh boy, is Willow in deep doo-doo. I hope that Faith's dreams aren't dismissed as easily as they seem to have been though, and I do hope Dawn and Casey somehow foil Angelus and his sick plan.

Great update, pet. Hope the aches and pains ease soon.

hey, I discovered your story by accident and found myself reading the whole saga during one rainy afternoon. and now I can't wait to read a new chapter :-)
I really love how you're managing old and new relationships and interlacing the characters' lives in brand new ways. At this moment I'm really glad Faith is coming to help; and I hope neither Angelus nor Dru will get their hands on Dawn and Casey.
I hope your shoulder will get better and that you'll update the story soon :P
messy

I am on needles here. This is excelent story.

Just thought I'd tell you how much I adore this story and the one that came before it. Just between us, I spent two hours reading it on the 'research only' computers at uni just because I cound't wait until I got home.

Sorry about your shoulder, I hope you feel better!

Sincerely,
Dark Eyed Seer
