oh no...wonder if it's anybody they know...but even if it's not, it'll be hard for oz to kill her probably...you're writing this battle very well...on to the next chapter :)

I ran across this fic while looking through the top tens on the site. I don't think I've gotten a good night's sleep since. I only read at night and have to almost physically tear myself away from the computer and the story so that I can get enough sleep to be able to function at work the next day. Please give us more. I need the end if not more and am not above begging or pleading to get it. Please!!!???!!! More!!!!

Wow, what a stunning story. I've loved every chapter of this epic and can't wait for the next installment. You've done a teriffic job with plot & characterization, moving seamlessly to weave the intricate threads together. Dialogue is great, very true to form. Love your quotes & lyrics. "Evermore" is an old favourite.
Thanks for writing and hope you're feeling better.

I've been working on this story and the first one for a little over a week now. I can't sop reading them. I've finally caught up though to the most recent chapters and I can't wait for more. I love them, and I don't think you should stop until you've finished all of your thoughts on the story! Oh, and I hope you're feeling better!

fab fight scene, can't wait for more. thanks

WOW and the fight continues. I just love how Spike is continually protecting his family with taking the blows meant for Buffy's mid section. And I just feel so bad for all involved. They are trying to do the best they can and Willow just had to show up along with Angel and company. And go for Jenner and Hawkins to join the party... SO MUCH going on.

Ooh, this chapter kept me riveted!  Can't wait to find out what happens next!

Well done :)

Gah, updates from you are love. I cant wait to see how they fair with all the vampires, and I just know Jenner is going to pick Spike's side right? Update soon!

Oh, you've done this wonderfully well. I can actually see them all arrayed over the lawn and porch. Wonderful.

Ooh, this was fantab!! I'm literally sitting at the edge of my seat! Oh, mama, I hope Jenner and Hawkins join the fight against Angel. And I'm still freaking out over Joyce's message for Buffy. All in all, wonderful chapter with loads of finger-biting action. Heh, I sound like a movie reviewer. Can't wait for more!!

Whoa! Talk about action-packed thrill rides! Excellent job, Nia! Loved the cool calm of Giles, Oz and Wesley. Giles may be getting on in years, but he's not yet ready for beanbags in the Dayroom or a wheelchair with a seatbelt. Old man's still got quite a bit of fight left in him!

I'm glad it was Wes that dealt with Willow (somewhat). It's fair though. She was endangering his crush and attacking Tara and Anya. The uber-witch shoulda realized she was overdue for a smackdown, even if she is/was outta the game for a few minutes.

As for Oz- nice work on the archery exhibition. Now who's the mini-vamp?

As for all the others- nothing short of beautiful writing and exciting choreography with Spike and Buffy vs. Angel. Hope ya don't mind, but I seriously gotta happy from Xander getting his ass kicked. He's been begging for it for a while.

Man, I'm sooo looking forward to the next chapter, Sweets! This one just flew by so fast!

incredable story! I loved the fight scene, the vamp trying to convince himself he didn't love, the actions all mapped out; Icredable scene =- played beutifully in my head@

OMG! that was AWESOME! Don't know where to begin. Can't wait to see Spike kick Angelus' ass. Hope it's him and not Buffy. Her man's looking out for her and their baby. Besides he's got alot to get Angelus back for and when is someone going to take out that psycho bitch Dru? Everyone had a role to play and you allowed us to sit back and enjoy watching it all play out. Kudo's to you Niamh. It was kick ass amazing.

Ooh! Super as always. Love the suspense you keep building.

Hey, sweet. Playing catch up here after falling miles behind.

Things really are heating up, aren't they!? Willow has completely lost the plot now, I hope Tara and Wesley are able to keep Dawn and Connor safe from her.

Eeek...Oz!!

I'm crossing my fingers that Jenner does decide to help, if only for Faith's sake.

Fabulous as always, my dear!

God That was a well done fight scene. Lots of action. I can't wait for the next update.

powerful read,or for you just the norm. thank you.

wow great fight scene. excellent job. felt like i was right there watching it happen. can't wait to see what happens next.

Whew! Non-stop action and drama combined. What a rollercoaster of a chapter. Can't help but feel for Hawkins. Kinda hoping that Glynnis will change sides during the battle. I realy, really hope that you will decide to write a sequel to this story. Not only do I want to see the birth of Spike and Buffy's baby (not to mention any other children they may have), I also really want to see what happens with all these other characters. You've brought these characters to life in such a wonderful way that it would be like losing touch with a bunch of dear friends not to see them again. I realize that since I'm not a writer I probably have no idea of just how much blood, sweat and tears go into the creation of a story like this. All I can tell you is that as a reader, I do truly appreciate your labor of love.

Intense, fast paced, and still carrying enough depth of emotion to make certain characters sympathetic....the danger feeling is right there. Great job plotting out the fight moves, I know enough about it to tell that you're right on with your combos and responses.

Can't wait for more.

It's always great to see an update on this story. Just please tell me ypu'll be getting rid of angel or willow real soon, the fact that their both still alive is driving me nuts! Plz keep up the great updates!

From the first paragraph of Origins, through the Bridge and right up to now this story has enthralled me. I read and re-read, still cry at the sad parts and updates have me bouncing in my seat. I don't want the story to end, so I beg on bended knees for another sequel. Also, found Kirsten's Story on your LJ and did a little happy dance. Please say you'll give us more of that too???? You're the Best, Lady....

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!!!
