Bitter sweet ending. Hopefully Xander will realise what he has with Anya now she's gone and stop obsessing about other people. Loved it.

Thank you so much for reviewing. Glad you enjoyed the story.

Ding-dong, it's au revoir Willow... though I think she got off lightly, a good boiling in oil wouldn't have gone amiss!  Of course our lovebirds had the ending they deserved. Thank you!
So pleased you enjoyed it.

That was completely unselfish of Anya. I'm so proud of her. Willow isn't just addicted to the magics. She's nuts, completely off her rocker! How dare she try to change the whole world to fit how she thinks it should be. i hope Xander can get through to her. Anya deserves some happiness. So does Tara.
Unfortunately, Willow always seemed unstable to me, which i know is not a popular viewpoint!   But glad you liked my take on Anya.  I was going to put much more in about consumerism and Christmas but it seemed a bit heavy-handed!   Thank you so much for continuing to review.  Now i can set my sights on finishing Future Imperfect!   

Happy Christmas!

So glad that Buffy was finally forced to accept that it was Willow screwing with them. I feel sorry for Anya. She's made a huge sacrifice, but I think time away from Xander will actually be very beneficial for her. Rather like at the end of 'Selfless', she has to find out who she is on her own. I don't know whether Xander will be able to make Willow see sense, all his life he has let her be the one in charge and has acceptedand forgiven everythng she does. Hopefully his new wisdom as Santa will help him.
I'm glad Eric is back where he belongs with his family and that Buffy & Spike can take a breather from drama and just be. Feel a tad sorry for Tara though...

By the way... You do realise that this story is crying out for a sequel, don't you?
Oh no!  You used the dreaded S word!   I'm delighted you enjoyed the story, but please,   I now have requests for sequels for Never Alone, Forever and a Day, the Arabella stories and I have to still finish Future Imperfect and think about A Nice Little Business which follows Agnes Pringle's life in England.

I think I have to concentrate on FI  at the moment and hopoe you like that story, too.

And a very Happy Christmas and my thanks for reviewing.

  You did a good job of selling confusion,  everyones thoughts are all over the damn place here.

  The Scoobies are definitely unlikeable in this story , not that I have a problem with that.  I had a really hard ti.e likeing Xander Willow and Giles at various times throughout the series, and reading what I have of the comics didn't really change the rather sour viewpoint I had on them by the time the series ended.  It's not that I don't like them as characters, I just think that watching BTVS for the first time in a marathon style left me with a lot less love for most of the ancillary characters than most long tim fans have.    I think there was just less time between episodes to forgive the characters when they were acting like idiots.

  Alright, that was long for no reason. I'll be looking forward to seeing how you end this wierd story.

How Anya puts up with such a spectacularly dense Xander is beyond me, he really is a toad.  And now Spike and Buffy are facing off  -- YIKES!
It's all down to love, of course!   She loves him, faults and all.  Better get back to sorting out Buffy and Spike!   Thank you for taking the time to review. Much appreciated.

Poor Anya, you really feel for her, having to cope with all those pesky human emotions. Still, she's definately got a better grasp of human kidness than Xander. So hoping Tara's witchiness picks up on whatevers messing with B&S'. Things are looking desperate. Super update.

Thank you so much. Delighted you are enjoying the story.  Will update again very soon.

I think Xander needs to take a look at this. It's one thing for Buffy and Spike to not be a couple but they are about to fight to the death. Willow you really messed up this time. If they all live and get clear of the spell she put on them there will be hell to pay. Maybe Anya needs to leave Xander. Maybe that will be enough to get him to concentrate on his own love life instead of Buffy's. He has a great girl who loves him for some unfathomable reason and yet he can't give her his full attention and love because of his obsession with Buffy.
Thank you so much for your comments.  Glad you are enjoying it.  Will update again soon - I hope!

She just can't help herself can she? Willow has to meddle in things that are none of her business. She changed the energy and emotions in them enough to mess up the spell. Just because Xander chose to stay in Santa land? Everyone has to be punished because Willow isn't happy? Poor Anya no one can see her trying help.
Thank you for reviewing.  Yes, Willow is not in a good place at the moment and I'm not sure that Anya is the right person to help!

I really enjoyed that look at Willow's creepily warped mind, she makes such a brilliant baddie,  Xander is just a git.  Battle ahoy, I hope!
No sympathy for Xander here then!  Glad you are enjoying my evil Willow.

08/30/2013 08:50 pm
17 Alarm Bells         
I hope whatever Anya is going to do will be enough to protect Buffy, Spike, Eric and Tara. Because Willow is out for blood. Maybe Xander will open his eyes now that he's Santa? Shouldn't he be able to see into the heart of everyone to see if they are naughty or nice? Because right now? Willow isn't so nice. She's dangerous, deadly and amoral.
Thank you for reviewing.  Is Xander the answer?  I think he's always been the problem, so perhaps so.

The more I read this the more chilling Willow becomes, she seems truly lost to evil. She and Tara are as night and day now. Excellent update.

Yes, Willow has been twisted out of shape and I'm not sure what will save her at the moment.

It's a good plan. But will Willow let it happen? She's done everything she can to stop them from finding the cure. If she finds out about this before they get it done bad things are going to happen. I feel sorry for Eric. He's stuck. He isn't fully human and he isn't a full demon either. He needs to go with his only remaining parent to have any kind of life.
I quite agree with you about Eric.  He's always been a problem that Buffy and Spike rather overlooked.  And you might have read my mind about Willow!  Things are going to get tense!

  This fic as bonkers, I have no clue what in the frilly heck is going on from one chapter to the next.  Sometimes I find myself reading your story as straight forward narrative, and sometimes I think I'm reading satire and other times the fic reads dark and wierd like an outer limits episode.  Oh well, reading on.


   PS.  I have no doubt your European or British or somewhere those places adjacent.

Oh yeah Willow's in full on bitch mode. Her crayon buddy is gone and she really doesn't care who she hurts right now. She's all about spreading the pain. But that's nothing new. Willow always does this. She doesn't know how to deal with loss or grief. So she lashes out on those she feels are being inconsiderate or responsible. And innocents get caught in the crossfire.

  Ahhh, the whether he wants to or not" had to do with Spike.  The Way it was written made it seem like the 'he' you were talking about was the someone who could help them.  Was that clear?

01/26/2013 02:34 am

Well that's not good. When will they realize that Tara has more talent than Willow. Willow just has more power. Tara's been learning about magic since she was probably in diapers. Willow's all flash bang and most of her spells go wrong.
So true.  But where will they go from here....?

I hope this comes to bite Willow in the ass. Hopefully Eric or Spike do the biting! Give her a taste of her own medicine! She really was a control freak at this point. Things weren't going her way? She'd make them. But then again she always tried to do that anyway. Real friends don't do that to each other. Maybe this will make Buffy take a hard look at who her friends really are and who really cares about her.
Friendship is a very two way street.  This one, to me, has always been based on jealousy, pride and neglect.  No matter how hard Willow tries to change, she will always be the "popular girl's best friend".   A recipe for disaster in later life.

I don't know why I've never seen this story before - but I have just read straight through and I LOVE IT!
I love Eric, he's so sweet. Xander and Anya should totally adopt him. I hope Dawn plucks up the courage to tell either Tara or Giles on Willow, if she can't face telling Buffy - or perhaps Eric will ask Buffy about the spell?
More soon please!!
I don't blame you for not knowing this story.  It is so old - I am ashamed that I have never finished it, but it is now on the top of my list to do so. Glad you are enjoying it, though.  I think Dawn will definitely play a part in sorting everything out.

It was pointless telling Buffy that life wasn’t fair for anyone; she only ever saw things from her point of view.

Each kid comes with thier own set of problems and quirks and on the Hellmouth I guess those quirks run on a supernatural direction.
Well, Eric surely does have his own problems, but then if Xander hadn’t called Sweet, he’d have his own Dad to help him with them!

  Hmmmm, ok I have no clue what is going on, Is everyones behavior being effected or is it just Spike.  Is he actually being affected or is he just dealing with his demon.   Hmmmm, well maybe I can get a few more chapter in before work.


  I do have a question however.  Are you from North America or Europe?. I can usually tell pretty easily, and to me you do write mostly European, but occasionally that'll slip and you sound more north American.

Of course there's a contract, Slayer. I expect you have one, too. But dear Rupert probably never let you know. Itll be filed away somewhere in the Council headquarters.

Chp 6 Consequences         
. I remember up to this point althougg I'm sure I've read a little farther ahead in your story.

  I like this change for Xander, even though it seems like it may not be all good.  I just think that his chaeacter in particular was badly in need of a role within the group that may not have been there for him.
I mean after all this time he had to have been well sick of being gopher/handyman.  I kno that his friendship was important, but after a few years of all the rest of the core scoobys contributing tangibly with the world defending/saving and him not, that would have to have worn on him.

Chp 4 Red Mist Closing         
  Another good chapter.  I like it when fics treat the core Scoobys a little differently.  I am rewatching the series with my niece and I just started season 7.  It really feels lime the writers stopped knowing what to do with the group after season 5.  Instead of continuing their growth the writers tore them down, and then inexplicably returned them to pretty much status quo by the end of the series.  (Buffy herself flatlined at a certain point and stayed there.). 
  I feel like part of thier mistake was never letting the characters own up to past mistakes in a real way.

  Alright that was way off track,  I just dig where I remember this going.  It's a shake- up.  It's what the characters needed and I never really felt.  Even through the comics I did manage to read.

  I dug that you kinda got into Xanders culpability in the dancing deaths. It's one of many threads left dangling throughout the series run.

Into every generation one man is born to be Santa Claus. When one dies - ”

”Another one is Chosen!
  That line there made me laugh out loud.

  I think I may have read this a couple years back, though I know that you have written more chapters since then.
  I am looking forward to seeing where this is headed.

Loads of potential plot strands here. Can't wait to see where you are going to go.

Wow - I didn't expect Buffy to actually tell Xander what happened as a result of his stupidity.  I hope that will turn out badly.  :)

Chp 1 Going Alone         
    That was a good opening chapter.  I'm interested, It sets up the story and moved along at a nice pace and read shorter than it was.  I enjoyed that.

Very much liking the Buffy Spike dynamic and dialogue.

Appreciate you taking the time and trouble to comment. Thank you so much.

Loved how you made Buffy be cruel to Spike and how he tricks her into tagging along.  :)

Wow... Even though the thought of children going missing is horrendous and sad, it's good to know in this universe there might end up being some justice and possible rescues.   

Also, I do like the idea that Xander's spell had some real consquences and not just nameless, faceless victims.  (Scoobies always got off too light in the Joss universe imo.) 

Off to read more.  Cheers! 
Thank you so much for commenting. Sorry for delay in replying but have been on holiday.  Hope to get down to serious writing this week.  Glad you liked the thoughts about Xander's involvement with Sweet.  I hated that no one bothered about man who died.

I loved it! It was great!
 Goodness how very nice to get a review for this older story!   You do know it is still a wip, don't you?  I must admit I am deeply ashamed of my neglect for this tale.  I meant to finish it last Christmas and now another Christmas is coming up and it still isn't finished.  Perhaps if you read it and like it all that will inspire me!

Very nice. Am enjoying this so far. LIked that Anya was the one who made it clear that Father Christmas existed. And Spike's tale of "his" experience with FC was hilarious. I can just imagine Dru trying to help with the dolls. And besides Hoffy killing Halfrek, I always enjoyed his humor. Very cool and really how insightful you are to extend the Willow's S4 spell to S6.... it really is amazing when you look at it like that. But I have to wonder what Hoffy saw and was going to say to Dawn????
Thanks for such a nice long review. I think ou can see the spells all the way through the rest of the series, intentional or not.

This was a interesting start. I felt bad for Eric. Can I adopt him?
