Good creepy Willow. She's going to be really awful and I can't wait.

Wow- shocked that she offed Angel. Then again, the stupid git talked *way* too much.

Since the future's all skewed now, wonder what Willow's new plan will be.

ok, Angel dustage is of the good. But the timing of it wsasn't so good for the scoobs... oh well. Why are they wasting time with the research when the magic box is probably open and they could get the spell-restorer stuff and at least TRY to do that spell? That would make the most sense to me, at any rate. Might not work, but it's worth a shot. Why does Giles now think her soul has been destroyed? This chapter leaves me that a feeling of skewed continuity.

Excellent writing and dialogue..so palpable! Keep up the good work. I especially liked how the group reasoned concerning Willow's magical abilities.

*curses roundly* But at least we had Angel stakage... *sigh*

Angel dusted. My night is complete. Great chapter DoS. :)

very good read, thank you. bonus points for dusting angel.

OMG, she dusted him! What a plot twist. They may need to shove that soul back in her. She was good enough once, she may be again. I hate for Buffy or anyone to have to kill her. She's been such an allie for them. Can't wait to see how this all turns out. Thanks DOS, really enjoying this.

Kinda a good news bad news sort of situation. Good news , no more Angel, bad news what little control they had over Willow is gone because of him.

Been a while since I've reviewed. And I've meant to review this story for quite sometime...problem is, whenever I get close to reviewing, I have nothing to say.

I guessthe problemistwo-fold, one good, one not bad per-say...

The first is, as I said before, I'm use to your stories following a certain pattern: Spike is left defenseless,someone beats him and tortures him, Buffy acts like a bitch but in the end saves him. When Willow went vamp, I was fully ready for tortured Spike...and you threw the curve. You've shaken things up, and its left me a little confused.

The second is that, to me...this isn't a Spuffy story yet. It ismore of a "Evil Willow" story, and I don't read those stories. As such, I have nothing to comment on. (Other then to say please don't fall into the trap so many, evenJoss, fall into: Never make the villian unstoppable. Because then you end up with a Deus Ex Machina to defeat them, and that is just cheap writing)

It is still a very good story. I am not complaining and bashing you in the slightest. I'm just saying that I normally don't read stories like this (or expect them from you), and as such, I am left waiting to see when someone I am use to arrives soI can comment

So did not see Angel being dusted! You are one tricky minx, hon.

Willow has a nasty plan in the works and Spike was quick to point it out. Glad they seem to FINALLY accept his word and help. Have a feeling Xander may gum up the works.

Excellent update.

Great chapter - Sirestaker Willow just gets better and better.
