Considering how long it's been since you've updated I'm gonna guess that you don't plan on continuing this story. But I'm an optimist. I love this story, it's one of my favorites in fact. I hope that one day (soon) you decide to pick this up again because I'm dying to know what happens next!

This is a great story and I will be looking forward to your updates. It's ironic how now you're introducing Angel in your fanfic when u always used to ask why. lol. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I agree Angel is an alright guy. I actually don't mind the Angel bashing. I like Angel is as long as he stays away from Buffy (as in romantically). I love A/C and of course Spuffy.

I'm going through the WIPs on this site at the moment, and I've decided it is not healthy, for I am constantly checking up on all the really good stories for updates. They are all so good, then it gets really exciting... and it suddenly stops... I love your story. Please, please, please update!

It's now May and still no update? I hope RL isn't so messed up you can't finish this wonderful fic. I can't wait for Future Spike to arrive and put another spanner in the works.
I agree with you about AngelBashing. I like the guy most of the time too when he's away in LA on his own show. It's usually just when he gets involved with Buffy that he goes all manipulative and patronising.
In all honesty, it hasn't been a real life issue for a long time. Truth be told, my writing muse has been firmly planted in the fanart and video sections of my creativity. I had taken a hiatus because I had tons of work-related writing to do. However, the scientific writing pretty much killed any and all enthusiasm for fic writing. All I have written since is 3 chapters. My goal is to finish it this summer and only post it once it's complete.

My apologies for the wait. :)

enjoying story, looking forward to future Spikes arrival.
A good story is worth the wait. :)
Thank, you. :) I certainly do hope that the forthcoming chapters make the hiatus worthwhile.

Awesome fic
cant wait for more and future Spike to get there
Thanks. :) You'll have what you're waiting for in the next chapter. :D

angel or the military; angel. no angel bashing, now that is pushing it. well, you tell a fine tale, so i must accept that minor flaw. real life? not much that can be done about that, except survive it and read, finely written fanfic. looking forward to october.
Thanks, vladt. I'll do my best to make the flaw tolerable. ;)

It's great to see that Willow, Spike and Dawn have come up with a new plan. And wow! Angel certainly has great timing, his presence is definitely bound to shake things up even more than they already are. Loved the chapter! :)
Thank you, Irina. Angel is a man of impeccable timing. You'll see that happening more than once in this fic.;)

wonderful job, love, very much enjoyed the chapter...and like you, i like the character of angel a lot, too...glad you won't be bashing him :P
Thanks, DoS. It's a good thing my beta likes what I'm writing, else it would be bit problematic, lol.

loving it so far, take all the time you need. We all know how the real world can intrude ;)
Thanks you. :)

I always admire well written time travel stories. How do you keep the actions and consequences separate? Anyway, it will be interesting to see Angel's input in this very different scenario.
Thanks, Joyce. :)

Angel will play an important role as far as the situation with Glory.

He will also make an appearance in some flashbacks. ;)

Great chapter, I'm so looking forward to more.
Thanks. :)

I love adding Angel to a fic, He just seems to stir things up, whether he trys to or not. I wish it was Spike coming and not Angel.

I love it. and hope you get you RL sorted out soon.
Yes, I think I have finally come to recognise that Angel makes things interesting.

Spike will appear next chapter, as will Angel, and Glory. ;)

Thanks for your continued interest. :D

Good chapter.Update soon.I'm glad things are somewhat changing for the better.I hate Angel bashing too because I like him. I get tired of him getting bashed, along with Xander. I'm an Angel/Cordy shipper,so Buffy's usually getting bashed in those fics. You get it from both sides.
Thanks. :) Angel's not going to be over the moon, of course, but he will be one of the good guys.

Hey, I like Angel too- most of the time... Although you won't bash him personally, I have to wonder if you'll let Spike do it? Like s5 Ats bashing, not real "I hate him" Lover's Walk bashing. Anyway, look forward to the update :D
Thanks, Scarlet Ibis. To be precise, I don't care when Angel is portrayed OOC in fics. Every once in a while, it works, but most of the times...

Anyway, in answer to your question - s5Spike will react to Angel (and vice-versa) like he did back then. I think, what may be even more interesting, is how Angel interacts with Future Spike. He's not going to be thrilled that's for sure (at least not right away).

So, yes, there will be minor 'bashing,' but I plan to avoid any OOC Angel, and he will not be villainised.

I don't like Angel that much (except when he grows up about Buffy) but he's definitely a better choice than anything Riley could come up with. Especially if the people he contacts become interested in why they need protection and want to study said interdimensional Key.
Don't worry, the military won't be involved much, if at all.

We'll see different facets of Angel. ;)

Thanks for commenting!

*applauds* I will wait and I completely understand, RL is what keeps me from writing my fanfiction.

Thanks. :)
