So pleased you've updated - this is exciting stuff.

was so glad to see this update, that i did not take the time for my usual reread. will rectify that soon. very good read, as always. thank you.

I've only just found this fic because of the update. Wow! What a wild ride! Willow's arrogance, Giles' oblivious blindness to everyone's faults (except Buffy's), Xander's naive faith in Willow and Buffy's overwhelming instinct to protect Dawn all portrayed accurately, if to the extreme. I love the way Tara has finally had enough of Willow's manipulation and lost her rag. Not sure about Anya's motives, though.
I'm not sure whether Willow can be saved now, or even if she should be. I wonder what Spike intends... and how come he can still manipulate portals now he's lost the other 'gifts'?
More soon please...

I'm so glad you're working on this again!  I need to reread to get up to speed but really happy to see this!  Thank you!
