Great scenes all around with all of the characters. You keep multiple plotlines all coherent for the timelines. Excellent written.

Wow, didn't know you'd updated while I was in the hospital. I love this fic and glad that you weren't persuaded in the least by the guy who'd suggested that you were finished. Spike's definately not going to take one drop of Bit's blood 'til he has all the fact's, that's for sure. Love your explination of where Buffy was after she died. People forget that Christianity's only been here for two thousand year's. Glad that Buffy's thinking about the question of Willow's fate. Not an easy question to answer, as it once was. Loved the chapter and Spike's restlessness. Great work, Niamh.

hmmm...wonder what she's going to find out...this has been a very interesting story, looking forward to your next update :)

Update Update Please I love this have copied it to my computer so i can re read it when I can not be online

This saga is just phenomenal, and gets better and better as more is added.

Sits back and tries to remember patience is a virtue. *grins*

excellent read, as always, thank you. and when you get back to the fantastic tale, we will be waiting.

It so much harder when you can actually hear what the person's real motivations and thoughts are.

Love the hubble bubble toil and trouble.

Just giddy once again when I saw the new chapter. And however long you have t his installment, I will be reading. But love all of the intereactions between everyone. They are truly a unit with beating Angel and trying to get Connor back. I am sorry that all of this is falling on Buffy's shoulders. She is a better woman than I am for even thinking about this. Love Spike making sure not to just jump into things without finding out everything before they cut Dawn. And Jenner/Faith just awesome.

I can hardly wait to see what will be decided to be appropriate action against Willow. The Summerlands makes way more sense than Valhalla for Buffy--especially when one considers how tired she was of fighting before she jumped. I'm also looking forward to the search for Connor and the taming of either Jenner or Faith--not sure how I hope that one will play out.

I eagerly await each new chapter of this story and do a happy dance each time one appears. Thanks for another lovely, beautifully written chapter. Faith and jenner are hot and perfect for each other. Spike and Dawn share the same blood, so I would imagine it's gonna take both of them to get Connor back again. Can't wait to see the how and why of it all. As for the somewhat evil cliffie, I can live with it, but I hope it won't be too before the next update. I know you have a real life that you have to get on with, I just can't help begging a little every now and again. :)

Love the reinterpretation of Buffy's death experience, very nice idea. Looking forward to the Connor retrieval. Love the hotness of Faith & Jenner - great combination! Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

'Wither into Truth' is an amazing chapter. The characters are incredible especially after each endured their own agonizing trial with such determination. And kudos for creating a Willow who makes Snow White's evil stepmother look like an upset goldfish. Just brilliant!

Scrummy new chapter! Having only devuored this a week or so ago it is still fast in my memory. Love the Jenner/Faith...um, interaction. *coughs*

Would not like to have Buffy's decision to make, not at all. Will she feel she has never really known Willow at all, or will she see something left there that is worth saving? A poser.

Thanks ever so and looking forward to more whenever it appears.

Hot damn, update-y goodness from my girl! Woot-woot!

Looks like the gang is one step closer to bringing Connor home. Wonderful interaction between Dawn and the others. That she's willing to do what she must to help save Connor despite her own pain goes to show just how strong and courageous she really is.

It seems as though Buffy's choice is becoming harder by the minute. I still have no idea what I would do in her shoes. In my own mind, Willow should be punished for the things she's done and the pain she's caused. There's absolutely no way she could atone for taking one life and destroying others. Lies and manipulation, heartache and treachery in the pursuit of power for her own personal gain. From the very first, it's been all about what *she* wanted and nothing to do with how others felt. Whenever she didn't get her way, she used magic to change things to her liking. Now a boy, an innocent, has been murdered and his family left in devesation. Dawn's heart is broken moreso than her body. Connor has been snatched from the loving embrace of the only family he knows. How in the world is it even possible to make up for that kind of thing?

One thing is for certain, though. I don't even Buffy for the choice she has to make.

I do, however, envy Faith. Is it just me, or is Jenner HAWT?! Whoa, mamma! If those two aren't careful, they may accidentally burn the building down with the fire they're sparking! *fans self and swipes at drool*

More! More! More!

...um...pretty please with nekkid Spike and shiny manacles on top?

i loved this chapter. i am really looking forward to the next chapter and finding out what happens with willow and conner

I'm thoroughly enjoying this story - could wish for more updates - but as long as there are updates im happy..:)

I'm also happy to hear there's going to be another book..:)

Kepp it up!
