This was vivid: He felt a sword slide into his chest, felt himself shatter the arm that held it.

They kept coming, by the hundreds it seemed. But so did he. They disintegrated like paper in his hands. It was worse than the old days. When the last few fled, he swallowed the urge to chase them down and tear their soddin’ throats out. You captured the heat of battle violence in the wake of hearing Buffy screaming.

in light of Xander's injuries, this made me laugh out loud: “Oh, is that Casey Schwarz? I remember her. Lovely girl.” Yes, Giles, I'm sure she's absolutely charming when she's not following a psychopath's orders. I enjoyed how you kept the humor flowing with Andrew's dream and dramatic interplay with Giles. Giles pulling back the conversation to yes and no answers was hysterical.

Spike having history with Nancy means he knows what the little sadist is capable of, and she almost had the upper hand again this time around. Spike finding her weakness and taking her down was vividly drawn but I wish Buffy hadn't distracted Spike. They're going to regret not finishing Nancy once and for all.

Author's Response: "Spike finding her weakness and taking her down was vividly drawn but I wish Buffy hadn't distracted Spike." I considered having him distracted mid-bite, but it felt a little... well, wrong. Regardless Nancy was always going to get away "somehow," lol. Cheers BP.

Great placeholder chapter, might wanna actually put it up if you want people to read the whole story.

Author's Response: Sorry, I was trying to get the revised book up and I screwed something up in the process that made the update show up too early. There's a full explanation in the Member News. I think everything is sorted now, and all 27 current chapters are up.

Oooookay... please let this not be another one of those old cliche... "Shoulda killed the bad guy when i had the chance" scenerios where Nancy escapes..... he shoulda fucking killed her.

That was a mighty filled chapter. Andrew's Star Wars influenced dream was quite fun, not to mention Giles growing impatience with the whole mental text messaging. How perfect that Nurse Nancy was a creature wreaking havoc in the initiative, as if Spike didn't already have enough reasons to hate her. And Buffy finally knows that he's here... Room for a happily ever after, but I wonder what comes first for them... Really enjoyed this one.

Author's Response: Thanks again, BuffyRat! So glad you thought the Andrew scene here worked. I was a little nervous that it wouldn't click for people. Also, this was the first "real" reunion scene in the story, and it was so fun to write. Happily ever after? Hmmm.... I guess anything could happen, lol.

So happy to see an update-- this story is wonderful! What a fascinating turn this chapter made. Yikes!

And can I say how much I'm loving Andrew in this story? Perfect Andrew dream; very nicely done!

Though Giles texting "Where R U"? Really? My illusions shatter!

Author's Response: LOL, thanks!

Nurse Nancy - great character - and I love your other realm Buffy-Scoobs brief tales.

Hope you can give us another update very very soon. Great place to "keep us waiting"

Author's Response: Thanks! I'll try my best. Im sort of debating whether I should just finish the next two chapters and then post them at the same time. They sort of go together.

Eep!

Great chapter. You write action really, really well.

Author's Response: That's sweet to say, thanks again. Like I said, I hope my naughty bits will be at least as interesting to you guys.

Absolutely wonderful. Andrew's fantasy was utterly hilarious (romance novel cover meets Star Wars) and you've managed to make Nurse Nancy far more chilling than I ever expected. Call me bloodthirsty, but I kinda wish that Buffy hadn't woken up for a few more minutes... But oh! Buffy's AWAKE. Hooray!

Author's Response: Thanks! It's been a real challenge to try to develop a new character that could hold her own against Buffy, Spike and the Scoobs. She's going to get even creepier (I hope) in the second half of the story, so hoping other people dig her as well.

Jesus, I can't say enough how much I loved the imagery of the fight scene in this chapter. It is just gorgeous. I cannot stress that enough.

Author's Response: Thanks Penny. I was actually a little worried that readers wouldn't get into all the smash'em'ups in the story. I'm glad some people think handling them well. There's actually a bunch of romance coming up soon, so I'll try my best to give that stuff at least as much attention.

Great Story. Love how it ties together so many loose ends in an original way and the characters seem true to form. Thanks and please keep going!

Author's Response: Thanks Holly. Yeah there's still a ton of loose ends to knot up. I've been trying to drop a few clues each chapter, but not really explaining a whole lot yet. I hope you stick around for the whole story.

Wonderful idea. Love the change of person chapters. want more!

Author's Response: Thanks Jean. I was re-reading "Dracula" at the beach last summer, and I remembered thinking what a cool story-telling trick it was, to constantly change voices and points-of-view the way Stroker did.
