If your author note meant what I thought, yea, I thought Angel, I mean Liam, left a note to Buffy before his suicide mission, or something. Poor Liam... I always like a good Angel in Spuffy stories. It makes the story more beautiful that way.

Anyway, I really like your style. No lavishing long sentences, great paragraphings, etc. Every(and I mean every!) scene you tried to depict is so vivid in my mind, it's almost like "reading" a movie, ya know? =) Thanks for sharing.

So how are they going to get Spike and Xander out of n. Ireland?

You definitely had me going, at the end of the last chapter--good job! Poor Buffy--so much heartbreak, so much guilt. I just hope she can bounce back from this. And re: the politics? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that shouldn't detract from the quality of your story. It's well written and that's what counts in my book, anyway.
