a terrific sequel - I do feel very sorry for your Bella at the end - she would have lived a terrible life always feeling her unrequited love all those years and also having sold herself for all that money. 

NICE Spuffy ending - plus I love your putting Anya and Div'vid together at the end -
 Thank you!  Glad you enjoyed the sequel.  I've always had a love/hate relationship with Arabella. After all, she is only being what a true vampire should be - evil!    And yes, Anya and Div'vid - a match made, if not in heaven, then somewhere equally observant!   So tempted to do the life and times of the new property millionaires!

I wanted to read some of your work so I have read the two Arabella stories and enjoyed them so much.  Love how you worked Hope into being Dawn. I will be reading more of your work soon as I have time.
 How very nice of you. So pleased you enjoyed the Arabella stories.  She was definitely one of the most interesting characters I've invented!  And i have a nasty feeling that she is not quite done yet.  Well, three times the charm!

God i love this story!, My blind hatred towards Dawn actually eased off a bit wich is pretty big considering i`ve been wanting her dead for eight years now (I live in europe so Buffy ended in 2005).... Hope seemd so sweet so that kinda made me like her just the tiniest bit moore:). By the way, can you make a sequel with Arabella being skinned by Willow???, please?:).... Thanks for the wonderfull read...
Love,
Julie...
Pleased you enjoyed the Arabella sequel. Several people have asked for a sequel, but it will have to get in line behind other wips. Mind you, I'm quite interested myself in finding out how rich Anya and Div'vid became!

It took me ages to get a chance to read this, but I'm so happy that I finally did! It's a wonderful story, with great characters and a fabulous new world. And what a happy ending! I'm delighted about Buffy, Spike and Dawn, but I'm absolutely thrilled for Anya and Div'vid!
Hi - I wondered if you had ever read the sequel to Cousin Arabella. So pleased you enjoyed it. And yes, once Anya and Div’vid met, there was only ever going to be one ending!

Just found this sequel, I read ccusin Arabella on another site awhile back and was thrilled when I saw their was a second part. I am now anxious to see how this plays out. Arabella must seek her revenge, perhaps through Dawn/Hope. Very crafty since Spike and Dawn have always had a strong connection to make her the sister. I can't wait until the muse strikes and you are typing away with the sequel to this story.
Delighted that you enjoyed the sequel. Yes, Arabella will have her revenge - but not until I finish a couple more wips!

If she’ll let me wait that long.....

Just read both stories and loved them! Grr...hate that Arabella and love the idea of her spending an eternity trapped in a nightmare.
Thank you so much for reading both stories. Glad you enjoyed them. Yes, Arabella is trapped in a nightmare but then, you know what she’s like, revenge can motify you in a big way! Watch out, Sunnydale!

I think that the names Dawn and Hope are similar. Not the appearance but the meaning. To me Dawn means Hope. Very fitting! I truly love this story even if it has some parts that I disagree with.
thank you so much for all the lovely reviews. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the story, even if you were unhappy about some of the pairings. Don’t you like Anya and Div’vid? I felt it was a marriage made in heaven!

LOVED THIS STORY!!!!
So pleased you liked it. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

So this is what you had in mind all this time. Did a wonderful job of creating the Arrangers. With Spike leaving the locket behind, Anya and Div'vid won't be able to go back to that world, will they? Love it that it was Dawn all along, fit perfectly. All of Dawn's actions toward Spike had been a bit of a mystery all along. Wonderful story and a perfect ending for Arabella. Enjoyed it so much, thanks for sharing with us. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews. Much appreciated. As for the locket, well, Spike dropped them on the ground, but not sure if anyone else picked them up. But i have a nasty feeling there’s a vampire girl out there somewhere determined to get her revenge....

Thank you for giving Spike back his Hope - what a great concept for a story.

I do hope this will now turn into a trilogy

Thank You
So pleased you enjoyed it. A sequel - well, when I’ve finished one more wip I might see how Arabella is going about getting her revenge....

fitting ending to a fascinating tale. the most magical pairing has to be anya and div’vid, loved it. leaving arabella there, is so just and provides an opening for a sequel. thanks for the fine read.
thank you so much for your comments. i was wondering what you thought of the final chapter. Yes, Anya and Div’vid, a partnership made in heaven! I could see them becoming millionaires and Anya flashing a huge diamond ring!!!

Sequel - well, I don’t think Arabella will stay there for ever.....

04/02/2007 06:23 pm
I'm SO glad I checked BSV today! I missed your last update, ane since this is the end, I would have NEVER known what happened!!
Maybe the Arrangers will figure out what to do with Arabella in time. Give her a better future.
Dawn=Hope - I never guessed. Good one! :)
Hi BT, I think a lot of people are going to miss it judging by the no of reads it has so far! Delighted you liked the ending. I loved writing Anya/Div’vid so much and as for Arabella - well who knows. I wouldn’t put it past her to escape and want her revenge.....

Awesome!!!
Thank you so much for reading. Glad you enjoyed it.

Nice explanation as to why things looked like they did. Nice answer to the "where is Hope?" question. I really enjoyed this--especially the way things were arranged for the better.
thank you so much for reviewing. Glad you enjoyed the story. It was fun writing it.

Wonderful story! :heartfic: It's been one entertaining ride, and I've enjoyed every minute of it! Your characterizations were awesome, and the plot was fantastic. Thanks for the great read! :)
How very kind of you. So pleased you enjoyed it. I loved writing it and only wish a few more people had read it! But I know those of you who did gave me so much encouragement that it made it all worthwhile.

Great story. loved how you had us gussing what happened to Hope until the end. Half way through this chapter I realized that Dawn was Hope. Really enjoyed this, and am please to what happened with Arabella.
thank you for commenting and really pleased you enjoyed the story. Yes, i think Arabella’s fate was about right. You never know, she may just get herself out of it again.

04/02/2007 12:09 am
Such a perfect ending for the story! I absolutely loved it. I think what happened to Arabella is better than just dusting her. She deserves what she got, big time. And Dawn... makes perfect sense. Loved it. I'm sad it's over though.
Thank you so much for reviewing. Must admit I have been a bit sad that so few people have commented on my last chp. Where have all the Arabella haters gone I ask myself?!!

Seriously, I didn’t want to dust her, because if she can get back to annoy them in the future, she will!

04/01/2007 10:38 pm
*happy sigh*
love it when those types of girls actually get what they deserve :P great story, i loved it, so glad it all turned out like that, and i never saw the end coming, with dawn being hope and all...very excellent work, love, loved it lots :)
thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to comment and so pleased you enjoyed the end. Have been a little down as I thought I would get more reaction from readers for end of a story. Where did all the Arabella haters go all of a sudden?!!!!

Seriously, thank you again. Always nice to have your opinion.

Oh, that was great! And somehow, Dawn being Hope doesn't seem like a surprise. I like these Arrangers very much.
thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I was fond of the Arrangers. Could do with some in my own life!
