i was just thinking...previous mentions of other samples taken from spike and buffy by the initiative, and the work the monks did...is kirsten also spike's and buffy's child somehow? maybe a first attempt that was abandoned, or...? hmm...just a thought :)

CH 41 - Good that they are trying to figure out the memory thing. They need to know and stat! I cannot believe the audacity of willow. Having sex with Tara under the influcnes of a mind alterating spell that she did on purpose is rape. It is her fault about casy everything is her fault - i so hope the huntmen drag her butt away!

OK Ms. encyclopedia, aren't you just a wealth of knowledge. First you gave an explanation as to who and what Miss Edith was, now you've explained why Spike had his scar. Now for the matter of Jenner, always thought it was a little strange that for several hundred years, Darla didn't have another Childe, before Angelus, or several. And Lawson saying it's us against the English again, that was funny. Another thing that's been driving me crazy is Kristen. Is she Buffy and Spike's child? from the future? The way she answered Spike by saying "Yes sir" it had a ring of familiarity to it, like an obedient child. Are Toussaint and Rebecca a mated potential/vamp pair? So many questions. So eager to find out.

Oh, nice chapter, Nia. Pretty much figured out who Kristen is, although I was leaning that way earlier anyway. I feel so sorry for Dawn. You've done an excellent job of capturing her anguish. I'll be looking forward to the next update.

Wonderful chapter, touched on a lot of plot points and characters. Poor Dawn! Really looking forward to everyone figuring out what's going on and that Willow is responsible. Thanks for the quick update.

Lawson, Jenner, and Liam vs the English. Oh, that was quite funny. Keep up the OCs please. Especially when they're in the "Duh, well that makes sense." category. As in "Duh, it makes sense the Aurelian Order isn't on its last legs given how widely it's still respected." and "Duh, it makes sense that Angelus isn't the eldest in the Order." I mean, going from the Master (1000s) to Darla (800) to Angelus (200), come on!

Awesome Update! Loved the interaction with Faith and Spike. Looking forward to more. -Lisa

Great chapter. Hope you arm keeps getting better.

Faith can help if Buffy doesn't pummel her first. I want more about Kirsten. I think lots of us have suspicions but we need you to 'splain please.

Lots of potential for mayhem with Lawson. I look forward to what happens there. Good moving along with Kristen present as well. I hope they get their memories back soon or there is going to be more bloodshed. I wonder what Willow is going to do when Spike show up at the house and she finds out Spike and Buffy are mated. Stupid Wilow and her spells. Look forward to more.

I liked it. Really think Lawson will be the best kind of wild card. His animosity of Angel (as he really does not know Angelus) and his "half-soul", as he guessed it was, makes him one heck of a great character to use in fic I think. SOOO much potential.
