Good story so far, very well written and each character is written very in character. You are quite the talented writer and I can't wait to read more. Hope you get to feeling better, real life sucks.
Author's Response: Thanks for the good wishes. Real life does suck. Reviews like yours make me want to keep going. . . even when its hard. So thanks.

It worked beautifully. It was tender and emotional and oh so satisfying. Good job.
Author's Response: Thanks! It did kind of come together nicely.

Good chapter Nia. Like the way the turth came out. Much better than some planned and prepared meeting with a bunch of people who don't even belong there. - Yup, you've got it right, I don't think too highly of those so called Scoobie-meetings.
And the reactions were beautiful! Buffy really seems to be coming back to herself if the first thing she does is pout over Dawn not looking more like her :-)
Spike was great with her, but then, he always knew just how to handle Dawn...
Really good, looking forward to the next part.
Author's Response: Thanks! No. . . no scoobie meetings -- coz really, they don't exist as a group anymore. . . but I know what you mean. Spike has the Summers girls all pegged -- and they've both got him wrapped around their fingers. . . And, yeah, Buffy's on the road to herself.

YES!!!!!!! I LOVE this chapter! I am so glad that Dawn finally told Buffy and Spike that they are her parents. Woohoo! I loved their reactions to being told that they were her parents also. I LOVE this story!!

This chapter was emotional without being overwrought. Spike and Buffy's reaction to the revelation rang true, and it solidified feelings they already held for Dawn. Buffy's petulant "She didn't get anything from me" was an amusing bit.
Author's Response: Oh, but can't you see her giving that exact reaction? Its just soo Buffy. Thanks for noticing that!

You want to know what I think eh? ...Well I really liked it I felt for Dawn I can understand why she thought everything was her fault. Spike's reaction was perfect...totally spike. And buffy was right on I wanted to cry at the end it was soo good! Want more!!
Author's Response: Always makes me happy when someone points out that the characterizations are right, because its one of the things I really work on to make as close to them as I can. Thanks!

I loved this chapter. You conveyed so much emotion in this chapter. I am so glad that Spike and Buffy finally know that Dawn is their daughter. Very well written. It exceeded my expectations for the disclosure of this important piece of info. Thanks!!
Author's Response: Its always cool when I exceed someone's expectations. Thank you so much!

That was perfect. Just the way they should have found out. Children are our best precious gift and it was lovely to be able to watch while Spike and Buffy recieved theirs. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: You know. . . I can't tell you how much your reviews mean to me, because I'd gush like a fan-girl, but trust me, this is a good thing! Thanks!

Author's Response: All will be revealed. . . Thanks for the review (and the good wishes)!

I'd been wondering when this plotline would be resolved; and was glad to see it. So beautifully written. Loved this chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks! You'd be surprised what makes a writer nervous sometimes. . . its the weirdest things.
Date: 05/10/2005 - 12:10 am Title: The ragged edges of truth
Absolutely brilliant. I could see Dawn's look of shock over what she said. So glad that Spike has stopped arguing about taking Buffy's blood. We need a full up and running Spike. Maybe Willow can come and help with protection spells and the big ball of sunshine spell. I can't wait for the next chapter. Spike and the chipectomy--thank the gods!! So well written and true to the characters. I loved it.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it . . . He hasn't completely stopped arguing, that wouldn't be Spike. . .
