So glad that you did the sequel - and I like how you end it with Angel and Cordelia being part of the annual reunion and with Willow absent.  Willow's absence gives a more realistic new phase for both herself and Tara.  I never would think of Tara and Giles as a romantic couple but you make it read as a realistic future for them. 

 

Awwww! So cute! just adorable...i kinda wanna cry...

Oh that was amazingly sweet;) I read both, obviously, but I didn't comment the first one. I'm absolutely thrilled with this story, it was so touching and made me warm and glowy inside. I feel bad about poor Willow, but woohoo to the Tara and Giles lol. Never thought I'd be one for the combo, but yay all the same;) Thanks for the warm fuzzies:)

Oh it is to bad that they lost Willow as a friend. I wonder where she is.

Great sequel. Awesome interactions between Spike & Xander and Spike & Angel. Fabulous characterizations. I am so happy that I found your writings. :)

Xander finally let go of his deep-seated demon prejudices… at least in regards to their little group. Mostly. -- ohhhhh i loved this line - it was fanastic.

great ending poor willow!

This whole story was just so sweet and I love that although Willow is no longer involved with their lives they still remember her.

This was a really really great story. I had already read Innocence when I found this so I went back and read that one again before embarking on this one. Both stories are very touching. I love the fact that they're all together as a family years later.

Too bad Willow couldn't face up to the consequences of her actions and move on with everyone else (good job letting Xander grow up 'figuratively speaking'). But I think that actually makes the story more realistic and less sappy. The happiness tinged with the momentary sadness of the loss of Willow.

And I really love the Giles/Tara match. I've never seen it before, but I think it could work.

Great job.

Omg! you cannot end it like this, it will drive me insane, such awesome stories and you leave a hanging ending like this?! Ah well I'm not complaining - much. This and Innocence Found were just beautiful I love them so so very much!! {I love the little kidlets -especially the bampires!}Thank you for writting this brilliant fic its realy made my day.

that was a really good story!!

Gonna try this again, hate FE's! Wonderful ending to a emotionally packed fic. Sorry that Red wasn't there but that's life. Good for Giles though, I think they make a nice couple. Thank you for this wonderful story, hate to have it end.

awww thats so adorable.. and is willow like no longer part of the group!? or is she dead or something..

aww...that's really kind of sad...i love the update on how they're all doing later on down the road, the closeness, the familial sweetness of it all...very excellent update...more please :)

*sniff*...awww...

Very sweet enigint o a relly nice story. Thanks!

So, Willow's just off and gone, eh?

And yeah, everybody did get sappy, but holidays do that.

great end to a great story.
