If I remember correct, it's your choice to disable anonymous comments.. Glad you could update! What I never thought was that Oz wouldn't hurt Tara whilst being unconscious. And Buffy *smile* she had her first encounter with morning sickness. Willow? I fear what she has in mind. Can't be good what she's planning. And Buffy's objections at the end of the chapter A bit fluffyness to read. The thing with Cordelia is hard enough. Hopeful she'll get her out.

The description of Cordelia's imprisonment made my stomach turn. Wes and Spike will hopefully come up with a plan quickly. I laughed at how freaked out Buffy got over Connor staring. Thanks for clarifying Oz and Tara's relationship.

I am enjoying the story very much. I appreciate your continuing to write it despite your health problems. I do read each chapter as soon as you post. Don't worry about "losing" readers. I believe a lot of people slow down on both reading and writing fanfiction during the summer. I can tell you from the reader side that there is less new material available for sure. Your readers will catch up later. You are a good writer, so they will come back

Well you haven't lost me.....I'm still hanging in cause I think this is a great story.....and for those that don't like it....your right, you can't please everyone....you can only write true to your heart.....keep up the great work......

Great chapter! Loved the scene with Buffy, Spike and Connor in bed. So funny...
Your description of Tara and Oz's relationship is very sweet and believable. I can really see those two as best friends and love the way you keep developing the situation.
Can't wait to see what they are going to do about Cordy. I wonder if she'll be herself should they manage to rescue her or if Angelus will have a second seer's sanity on his considence. As much as I despise him in both of his forms, I wonder if it wouldn't be worse for him to be souled up again and had to live with what he did. Looking forward to see where you are going with that...
Great job you did so far, looking forward to the next chapter.

I am still reading... and interested.

No loss of interest coming from over here! You doing great, i love this story! Keep up the good work ;)

Date: 07/19/2005 - 04:27 am Title: A soundless calm descends
Your not losing me. I love this story, and really want it to contiue.

I like this. I like that you keep the story balanced. Yes, there's lots of Spuffy, but those scenes are balanced with the bloody, violative Vampiric action and the undercurrent of dark mystical threat from an out of control Willow. All of that combined stops this from becoming saccharine sweet. If that's what some readers want, go buy Mills & Boon. I love the way you put threats and complexity in the path of Spike, Buffy and the gang. I love the way you've integrated the Sunnydale and LA crews, and all praise to you that you've done that on both sides of the good/evil spectrum. In doing so, you've kept Revelations from becoming a mediocre tale and ensure it's place as a gripping, paced and provokative saga. Keep up the great work. Chrissie ccoomb@yahoo.co.uk

Haven't lost me. Still reading every chapter the minute it is updated on this site. Love the story.

Date: 07/19/2005 - 03:47 am Title: A soundless calm descends
you're doing just fine - and that is an understatement. You have kept up emotional strengths of the first Origins and the impending Willow and (especially) Angelus interventions highlight the light and dark of life in Revello. The Tara/Oz connection is inspired. Write on!

Take care of your arm. While I'm loving this story with each new installment truly your own health is more important. As for the story I'm just waiting for Willow to get a reality smack and wondering who or what is going to do it. So glad that Buffy finally said the 3 words. Well done chapter. Just remember a physical ailment is a much better reason not to write over lack of concentration/writer's block (I'm suffering from that..) :o)

Hey, great new chapter. I can't imagine that you lose people here cause for me this is one of the best WIPs at the moment. So keep writing and enjoy it and be sure I have a great time reading your story/ies. I'm really looking forward to see where you're going with this story . Take care Manda

This might sound strange... I like how all the other characters are in total chaos and Spuffy aren't. You don't see that in a lot of stories. They're pretty comfortable with their relationship and everyone else gets the angst. I love it [cue evil laughter] Though I hope I didn't just jinx things cause I don't know what you have planned. The little family that Spike, Buffy, and Connor have formed is heart warming. I think it's great how Buff's motherly instincts just took over. Will we be seeing any mother-father-daughter moments between Buffy, Dawn, and Spike? Liked the funny with Buffy trying to get Spike off so she could pee/vomit and then freaking over Connor watching them. thanks for the new chapter

I enjoyed the chapter. We have a family bed quite often at home and I think of us as a big pile of puppies! Thanks for the update and more please.

Well, there's nothing negative that's gonna be coming from me. I loved this chapter!! Oz/Tara's relationship is great, and I'm really glad to see that she trusts him so much to stay with him. Cordy's situation is horrifying. I feel soo sorry for Queen C, and I hope that Wes is able to rescue her in time. Oh, Willow's really getting into the whole revenge thing now, and it's scaring me even more for the things she's capable of doing. I also see some foreshadowing of her evilness, and I'm getting really freaked for Giles. Can I just say that Spuffy is yummy?!!! They just sizzle regardless of what they're doing. I'm finding that Buffy's tummy probs are very interesting...could be she preggers for real this time? Can't wait to find out!!! Wonderful story, and there's no way you're gonna be losing me as a reader...I'm too hooked and in love with this story to stop reading it before it's done.

This is honestly one of the best, if not the best stories I have read since the show ended and the dawn of the great Isabelle (haha). You are doing a fantastic job and i can't think of any complaints or things that even erked me a little. The characters are true to the show, and your plot and developement is amazing. I can feel the love when you write this, and please dont dont stop. Keep up the amazzing work and dont let anyone tell you different =)

Date: 07/18/2005 - 11:07 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
I really like this story and avidly read every line as soon as you post. I think that examining the evolving relationships is interesting and I'm glad youa re ataking some time to explore them.. Too bad about Cordy, but I understand the dramatic value that this snatching and torture can have for the overall story. Thanks!

Date: 07/18/2005 - 10:29 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
Who the hell is talking smack about you girl? Let me at those wankers! STILL love your story and am constantly haunting this place for your next update and YAY for the spuffy loving and Buffy preggers? Awww...how sweet is that? The only comment (request?) is that you give Angelus a really horrible, viciously horrible ending with lots of torture and mayhem because, well, turnbout is fair play.

Date: 07/18/2005 - 10:19 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
Not sure why you're nervous about this chapter; I loved it. I like the way you write Spike and Buffy; it's a very believable relationship. Maybe not the only way to look at them; but certainly a legitimate way. And can I speculate as to why Buffy's stomach is upset in the morning? Hee! I think the relationship they've also established with Connor is interesting and believable too. I also love the Oz/Tara parts. I'm an old-time Oz fan, but I think this is the first Oz/Tara I've read. Not a relationship I'd have expected, but you make it work. I'm also enjoying the Evil!Willow section-- wonder what she's planning? I doubt it's anything good! And poor Cordy! I hope our heroes go rescue her soon!

Date: 07/18/2005 - 10:19 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
I can't believe you're losing anyone! The story is still fascinating and enthralling...even more so now with the hints about Buffy, the no doubt spell Willow is considering, Angel and his torturing of Cordy, Oz and Tara, geez the story is so in depth and well written there is no way not to be involved in it. Please ignore the negative reviewers and know that we are still with you.

Date: 07/18/2005 - 10:04 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
I love the way this is building, and the way sweetness of the relationship between Buffy and Spike anchors the story. It's hard to write an ensemble piece that also focuses on one romance, but you're doing a great job with it. Thank you, again!

Date: 07/18/2005 - 09:57 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
Not losing a reader here. Screw the bad reviews. I think those shiny new awards kinda speak for how truly excellent this fic is *wink nudge* It amazes me sometimes how people think they can tell a writer how their tale should go. Really quite funny actually. Hope you don't let it discourage you, coz I'm greedy for more, providing your poor arm lets you write Hugz!

Date: 07/18/2005 - 09:46 pm Title: A soundless calm descends
Nia, wonderful chapter, as always. Finally, Buffy says the words!!!! And poor Cordy, what Angelus has put her through....I hope they find her soon. And what's Willow up to now?
