thought the conversation with aneirin would have mellowed buffy . seems she can be as egocentric as her friends. very good chapter, thank you. loved the ending scene.

I always thought it strange that the only sign of Buffy training Dawn was in the first episode of season seven. Given the inherent danger she was in because she lived with the Salyer, she needed a lot more training that that. It became on of the dropped plot points of season seven, like Dawn's friends.


That Oracle certainly knows what he's talking about. Looks like Buffy needs to take her ego down a notch or two.

And I doubt that these people are impressed by her being the Salyer , even if there was only one at a time. Salyers are always replaced , so ther's a line running back to the first Slayer but there is only one Key and one Father of the Key period. They are uniquie and irreplacable.

Yes!  Spike sees she DOES care (the no shoes, thin nightgown revelation was PERFECT.  Spike is so observant and knows her so well that her actions showed so much more than a months worth of words!).

Love how "unimportant" Buffy and her crew are and that their presumption is treated  the arrogance it is.  Love Spike's explanation of he and Dawn being the Chosen ones in that world, not her!

Kennedy actually being helpful?  GOD the world IS ending!

Glad Giles has the template, wonder how he'll use it to help?

I adore this story and am delighted to see the excellent update.
