There is no angriness about the delay - there is joy that you've taken such time and consideration to share this with us. Thanks!  A very original Spike background that makes William even more intriguing, as well as more information on what's to come in terms of prohpecies and Buffy! Nice.

Super chappie, interesting titbit about Spikes past. Highly suspicious of Kennedy. That girl will come a cropper  'hopefully please'  Can't wait for more, gonna miss this fic.

Very nice update. I loved Xander's reaction to the babies, where he didn't quite get what he was looking at.

Wonderful update!!!  Can't wait for more even if it brings us closer to the end of the series.

well, as far as I am concerned, this is a gift - more exciting chapters and the history of William - sounds great to me -

The amount of thought you put into this verse is amazing. It seems as though you did your research. Theverse is absolutely amazing. I'm sad that it's almost over, but can't wait to see how it ends.

Great chapter!

Lovely update.  I can feel that the end is near, but that will just give me the chance to read the whole opus from start to finish!  Thank you so much for sticking with this story.

I am just going to say it like this.  And it is only for purely selfish reason 'that I would hate to see this verse end'.  I came to your verse late in the game for book 1.  And I have been so hooked since. I think you captured the real characters of Buffy and I have loved every minute of it. 

So now on to this chapter.  I am just so waiting for Kennedy to get what is coming to her.  She has NO idea what/who she is playing with.  And for that right now I fault Travers.  He really needs to keep a watch over his 'slayer' now that Buffy is a mother and faith is doing her own thing.  I am glad that Jenner realizes that at some point Faith is going to be so scared that she will make a break for it.  I just hope that he is strong enough to really let her go.  She will come back.  She always seem to come back to a place she at one time called home.  And they have traveled together for the last 6 months.  They are in each others systems.  He just needs to be open for when she decides to come back.  And the way Giles and Spike got on Connor.  They are making it a real family with rules and punishments.  That was too cute.  And Connor being protective of his family.  What a way for Xander to find out about Dawn.  And Spike of all people should know that you can't hide from your past forever.  Just awesome chapter.  I am glad that you are feeling better.

Ah! Thought it was the end-end, so I was waiting for the wrap-up.......Aww, poor Spike's secrets are spilling out. :D

Thank you Nia for another great chapter, I'm so sad that this 'verse is coming to an end, I have been reading it since you posted the first chapter of Origins. I have loved every word written, This is probably the most recomended fiction out there, I will miss it like an old friend.
