Wonderful Story - I hope that you will update soon, but not just to satisfy your readers. Take your time until things feel right - this piece deserves nothing else. Thank you so much for giving this Buffyverse adventure.

Nice the way you connect Buffy's Resurrection trauma with Dawn's - you did such a great job of bringing the series story arcs and blending them into your work.
Good being able to read this continuation with so many chapters - don't know if this is completed yet, but I hope it is.

This is such a great story - just love it. Not much of a review, but just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying reading it - thanks ever for bringing it to us.

I am really enjoying your use of Lawson in this fic! I always thought he was really interesting and didn't like the way the show simply discarded him without bothering to develop the character . What else is new? Anyway, that is where wonderful fanfiction writers like you come in, right? Still loving this story.

So Kirsten is Buffy and Spike's child from the future? No wonder Spike thought she looked familiar. Oh my God! How cool is that?!! Just when I think this story couldn't possibly get any more interesting it does. Stop it! (I so totally didn't mean that.)

I'm sure that you probably wrote this months ago, so you no longer need to know what I the reader thinks about this chapter, but I can't imagine why you would have been nervous about something this perfect. Loved every word. Also I really hope you are feeling better. I can't imagine being in pain all the time when you are trying to be creative. Be kind to yourself sweetie.

I ran across your work a few weeks ago and am loving it! Tara and Oz were favorites of mine on the show and I'm so glad to see them here. I have one request- don't make them lovers- let them be really close and become part of each other's family, but we have no reason to think that Tara ever went for men and I hate the presumption that lesbians are only looking for a good man.
Can I borrow Sam, by the way :) He's so sweet and Jenner's taken- I'm not fighting Faith for him!

i read your comment at the end of this chapter about it being a really rough week for you and even though I'm not sure when you wrote it---- it could have been months ago, I could certainly sense your need for some positive feedback for all of your hard work. You deserve all of that and more but suffice it to say that to quote your son: "I love this story so much it makes me want to barf." Go you!!!

Another fast moving, tight chapter. Faith and Jenner's encounter was a nice counterpoint to the quiet decompression of the Sunnydale gang. Gwyn and his red headed spokesperson are already interesting original characters. Buffy's destination and role are also intriguing. I'm looking forward to her decision about Willow as well as the hunt for Connor.

I am in awe of your story telling ability. There is absolutely nothing that I would change about this story or it's prequel. I love how you've written all of the characters. You've captured them perfectly and the plot is completely engrossing. I'm so enjoying taking this journey with you. You deserve any and all accolades you may receive. Luvvvv this story!

I have no words to express how amazed I am at your incredible talent fo telling stories. Chapter after chapter you have me hooked, just like Joss Whedon had me hooked with his shows for seven years.
You are an amazing writer, keep it up

Date: 10/25/2006 - 07:34 pm Title: A brief respite from fear
Oh, please save Willow! She needs help, lots of help, but she's not beyond it!

Date: 10/25/2006 - 07:33 pm Title: A brief respite from fear
I love this story! You write incredibly well, and I can't wait until the next chapter! Keep it coming.

I think Willow deserves to either die, or live without any magic or powers and the inability to ever cast any spells and stuff like that. She deserves to be punished and I think it would be worse if she knew exaclty what she did, and had no power to fix it through magic! Take away her powers!

This was a nice chapter, the ending is truly nearing :( but a third book sounds so great! :) Take your time with it, I think it's going to be magnificent!

Date: 10/25/2006 - 04:59 pm Title: A brief respite from fear
Oh! Oh! Faith's gonna get her some. Bout time. I hope they all enjoy their brief respite. And I'm glad Buffy's being honest. I don't think those all pwerful beings would appreciate her lying. Can't wait to see how this pans out. Incredible story!

Glass through the hand? Not a pleasant experience. ~ Mmm Faith. Not easy to tame a slayer even for a vamp as old as Jenner. If these two really get together and won't be easy all the time. Faith is too pigheaded *g*.
Seems there would have been much waited for Willow but she throw it away (well she didn't knew she did).
To save? Buffy Willow *wonders*?
And Spike is gone now, from the hospital ~ because he is looking for Connor? ~ And Sam.. he had a lot to think of. ~
Indeed, the 'save' question was about Willow. But Buffy doesn't know either.
Looking forward to find out what will happen with all our players here.

thanks for the great chapter

"Was it only yesterday that he’d willingly traded away his loyalty? Sam was suddenly hit with a wave of confusion, leaving him reeling on his feet." - Oh wow, this has me nervous. I Sam so much, yet I am worried that he is now questioning his loyalty.
I always love how tender Spike is with Tara. They are definitely forging some kind of family. I am curious to see how Oz will react once he is aware Tara was injured - not to mention his own actions.
Whoa, Faith and Jenner; how hot are they? There really is vamp for every slayer. Hee!
Buffy's meeting with Gwyn ap Nudd really has me enraptured. Your descriptions are so vivid. (I really wish I knew how to prounounce some of the Gaelic you are using. It is the one language that I have never been able to grasp a prounounciation of. ) I love how honest she was with her answer to whether she would grant Willow grace or not. While I don't have a forgiving bone in my body for her and everything she has done, my heart went out to Buffy for having to make that decision.
Still an awesome read. I can't wait for the next chapter, the next book...more will never be enough, but thank you for what you post!
Cheers,
Nina
P.S. Sorry about the last chapter review, Nia. I was out of town and am still catching up. It was as wonderful of a chapter as I would have expected out of you. I am never disappointed.

YES, happy to see Jenner and Faith do something about their tension. Poor Tara has been through so much, glad she is ok. Gods the feelings of them not haveing Connor there was heartwrenching.
You bring tears to my eyes with your decription of the Slythen. *sighs*....the woman who approached Buffy still holds those eyes. They are as beautiful still today. What will Buffy do? I know she will make the right choice and Willow will get the right justice.
Awesome chapter hun. as always...thanks for posting

This story blows my mind! I can't wait for the end, yet I don't want it to end. Please don't make us wait too long for three.
Jenner and Faith are HOT! I love how he lets her think she's the one in control.
I loved your quote from Wicked in the previous chapter.
