Hi! Several years post publication, but had to tell you how very much I'm enjoying origins. Thank you for writing such a wonderful, layered and thoughtful story.

they're gonna have to figure this out from tara, aren't they? and i have a new theory about kirsten...is she buffy's baby, somehow brought back in time? hmmm...interesting chapter :)

CH 42- brilliant as usual my dear! I adore this story - you write the grief and aftermath of angel's attack very well - everyones confusion at the memory spell - although since they are starting to figure it out hopefully it will be broken soon - great story!

Still goin' with the story's great. I know that Kristen is Buffy's and Spike's, my intuition's going bonkers, hope I'm right. Nothing to do for Dawn, nothing but time and support from her family. How's Cordy doin'? Your doing an awesome job. Yup, can tell that this is going to alot longer than you had anticapated, you've brought alot more to this story than when you first started it.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE. I LOVE HOW SPIKE IS COMFORTING DAWN AND BUFFY, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO KRISTIN IS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND UPDATES MARGARET

I thought that Kristen was Spike and Buffy's daughter at first. Now I think she may be Dawn's daughter. I can't wait to find out who she is. Once again the update 40-42 was great. I want to knock Willow upside her head. Her spell resulted in Casey's death. I'm going to have to reread Origins because I can't remeber when Dawn started dating Casey. Shouldn't they have forgotten that they were a couple?

Wonderful story. Excellent chapter. This one is so good that you don't mind waiting for updates!

Another wonderful chapter. I loved the moments of comfort between Spike & Dawn. Also liked the "eureka" conversation in the kitchen; they're so close to figuring out the spell. You're tantalising us with hints about Kristen story. Can't wait to see how you sort it all out. Love this fic!

I think it is a wonderful story, and this was a great chapter. I like seeing how each chapter develops. They are starting to piece things together. When they figure out that it is Willow, and what all happened because of it ... oh boy. The crap is going to hit the fan. Look forward to more

Poor Dawn. I wish someone had sat her down and explained that if she had not existed, both Buffy and Spike would be permanently dead by now. By suicide, one right after the other. So it is all her fault ... her fault they're alive at all.

I know you are feeling insecure about this story, but you shouldn't! It is a wonderful story. It has plenty of action, love, and new characters. The plot is great, and the writing is even better! I can't wait for Willow to get what's coming to her.

I think it works well. The "brains"are starting to figure some things out about the spell - or at least they know where to look. Spike, the perceptive one, is zeroing in on Kristen - that should be a fun conversation! Looking forward to Willow's being busted soon so they can get back to fighting Angelus.

Oh my gosh, this story is getting SO GOOD!! Please tell me that Willow gets her comeuppance sometime soon; even if it's the hellhounds taking her somewhere nasty to beat some sense into her... sheesh, I thought XANDER was bad in some of the stories I read... Please update soon!

Wonderful Story - I really enjoyed it! Cannot wait to see what happens!

Evil cliffie! I hope you're feeling better because this story is so good and makes me so worried about the good guys here and leaves me with frustration about the bad guys going free to do more damage.

I think it's wonderful! Looking forward to the next chapter! -Lisa
