Wow! Joyce's arrival was a welcome surprise. This chapter flowed beautifully from scene to scene. The action at the mansion was vivid, and you did an excellent job describing the panic. Dawn's reaction to Connor was also well written, pushing through her anger and grief to accepting the baby. This is getting more and more exciting with each chapter.

Sorry to hear you had a death in the family above all the other stuff. I wonder how you managed to get 2 1/2 chapters written but I don't complain! But now to the story:
I wonder if Glynnis really did go to the 'dark side' but there seems not other possibility. ~ And Xander still hasn't learned. Still hating Spike. ~ Me too. I hadn't thought that Buffy would be so consequent but she is right. Angelus has gone too far. ~ Too bad that Angelus noticed the fire and was saved from a quick death (yeah, would have been too easy). ~ And Willow broke the barrier.. things are heating up indeed. ~ Yeah, that was a very clever idea to let Connor help. Argh, Willow. She is breaking through the wards and she managed it so far. In the house where Dawn and Connor are. Oh! Joyce is there.. to help I guess. It's good to see there is another one at their side. They can need all the help they can get. ~ Loved it, very thrilling, gets me on the edge of my seat to read on. Till next chapter!

Holy crap! I just read Origins and this story straight through, despite having lots of things to do. I just couldn't tear myself away from this beautiful story. You've done a great job with this, and I don't think I could ask for much more from a story. Also, reading a fanfic with proper grammar and punctuation? So, so sweet, lol.

You should be very, very proud of this, it's fantastic. I like your plot a lot better than the show's, to be honest. And Spike as a daddy? Priceless. Thank you for hard work on this story!

Just wanted to drop a line telling you how much I love your story, I look forward to the next update
.

I have just spent the last week using all my spare time (sometimes till after 3 a.m)to read your Origins stories. They are very well written and I love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I told myself I was not going to start Revelations because it wasn't finished but the first one was so good I couldn't help myself and now I'm dying for more. Do you notify your readers of updates? If so can you notify me at
handsoffmyspike@yahoo.com? Thank You and keep up the great writing. I love the direction your story is going and great use of side characters.

I was all set to be really ticked at Glynnis, but then I figured aside from the Scooby gang and Angelus, we really don't know whose loyalties lie where. However, I reserve the right to be completely furious later. ;)

I feel like we are teetering on the edge! It is nail biting and nerve wracking and wonderful! I am so invested in all these characters, every one. Even Willow and Angelus - though only to see that they get what they deserve. I am so nervous now!

Funny how Sam though Anya and Giles were together. I loved the exchange between Anya and Spike as well. Spike hasn't forgotten how useful and smart Anya can be.

Whew! Okay...now the wait for the battle to begin. Thanks for the update and good luck on the move! Careful of the shoulder!

Cheers!
Nina

Well you knows if Sam didn't have seen it right.. so Anya and Giles seems to him like a married couple :) ~ But Angelus is ready for his own plan too. ~ But even getting Anya to take the children was a trick to have her leaving, it can save their lifes if possible. And Tara did a good thing, letting Dawn watch Connor. I don't know if she did knew it before (maybe she did) but it did Dawn good. (Loved Jenner's musings about Faith, Susanna). Oh... not only Glynnis was gone, she's with Angelus now. This can't be so good, right? Only if it would be part of the plans.

And the battle begins this is gone be good..Hope angel gose down badly.Love dawn with conner and buffy and spike talking about being parents just new they where gone keep conner..Great chapter nia sorry to hear you weren't feeling well hoping you feel better soon

Ahhhh Sam notices Giles and Anya's attraction. interesting. Dawn's inner dialoge was straight on. She is still reeling for the aftermath and yet a sweet child helps her to hopefully know she is not evil. Willow, drunken magicked out witch. Too bad she did not implode or something. Dumb twit,she will still get hers in the end. Buffy coming to the reality of being a parent was great. Spike always the one to help her know she is not alone.
Oh Dru is awake, Angel is trying to plan,and harm wants to help Oh gods this should be good. I hope she gets staked first blow LOL. Fantastic update as always. War is looming on the horizon. Who will prevail, who will fall and who will pay the price for their deeds????? Take your time updating, we are all still here. RL needs to be taken care of and it will be a great new beginning.

Looking over his shoulder, Angel gave the newcomer a feral smile. “Well, hello Glynnis . . . What brings you here?”

Two words: Oh. Shit.

Well now, it's countdown to doomsday. Who'll survive? Who will not?

Damn fine chapter, Nia. Can't wait to see what happens.

I was so happy to see you update! I am sorry I didn't leave another message on your lj but I don't have one (yes lj-less people still exist) anyway, I am so glad you are better (my family have had more or less the same kind of problem my dad had to undergo surgery so I know a little how scary it can be). Take your time RL can be a b*tch but it's the only one we have.
Anyway, I am so glad you are feeling good enough to post another wonderful update. Anticipation thy name is Niamh. Oh Glynnis sounds like bad news, verrrrry baaad news. She's gonna cause major trouble, isn't she?
The scene with Dawn and Connor was so cute at first with an undercurrent of pain and sorrow. Babies are magical, aren't they? *grin*
Spike's words "Can’t be much harder than controlling minions.” had me laughing like mad. I so hope his kids *are* gonna run him crazy!
Huh... Is Willow starting to realize that there is a problem? Uh-huh. This could lead to some major drama.
Since I'm going to give in my broken records tendencies a bit so don't mind me too much but this was a *wonderful* update! Brilliant stuff for one of the best sagas of the Spuffy world!
eheeheheh I'm still so happy you updated!
