6 -- i'm starting to catch xander's feeling of uneasiness...willow's making a bad mistake here...and poor spike, its just getting too hard on him with all the patrolling and such...great chapter, love :)

5 -- not sure if it was exactly your goal or not, but you managed to establish so well just how badly dawn needs giles there...that willow's calloused hope for him to stay away in the end of the chapter is simply appalling...excellent chapter, pet...looking forward to reading more :)

4 -- i hope dawn really does wise up and realize that she needs to straighten up her act, or things could get bad...wonder if the social worker's gonna figure into this more later...great chapter, love :)

A very intriguing chapter. Very interested in who Kirsten is or what she is. Glad you brought up the deal that "magic and medicine don't mix" I know that potions are made with herbs and other substances that we have used in any medicine through out the history of man. Really like this story.

Chapter Six - I liked how you are weaving this story - very complex and nicely done. The parts where you were going over that Willow didn't like Anya and Xander's feelings had me nodding along with the uneasy Willow is being bad feeling is my stomach. Great chapter!

Chapter Seven - I really like Kirsten in this fic. Very well done. Well crafted and mystifying, yet fun and enchanting!

Chapter Four - I really enjoyed this chapter. It was very nice to see the interaction between spike and Dawn. I liked the visit from the school social worker, especially the bit about thought her father's name was Hank. Great chapter!

Chapter Five - I can't believe Willow she wants Giles to stay away *shakes head* She is so selfish - can't she see Dawn is falling apart? But of course not all she can see is her own selfish needs. Great chapter!
