Awesome update. I look forward to whenever you are inspired to write more. I wonder what will happen with Buffy and Spike now. I wonder what was going on with the presences and auras that Tara saw. Good Willow thoughts too. Loved it all around.

What a fantastic chapter to leave off with. The action and emotions in it had me practically holding my breath as I read it. I can’t even pick a particular favorite as the whole chapter just ran together so seamlessly, even when you changed perspectives it still had a seamless feel to it. Thanks for the update and I will look forward to its return in September. :D

great update, thanks for the read. enjoy the vacation. the lovely thing about a long break between updates is that it provides an excuse to reread a fine tale. thanks, again for the read.

*sigh*  As hard as the wait will be, I am secure in the fact that the end results will be well worth it.  Wonderful chapter, as always. :)

Very good chapter but I hate waiting. I think things will change even more now for Buffy and Spike.

HOLY COW. So, I had put off reading this because I was terrified that I would be squicked. Then I realized that this was entirely ridiculous, as squicky as I've been myself these days. And boy howdy, how glad am I! This was completely and totally electrifying, start to finish (which I did take all in a set because I just couldn't stop, not even at work, and now I had to take some reports home.) Just electrifying - and a wonderfully believable vision of characters we know and like in very different versions of the world. Your Spike - not even close to the Spike of the show, but I could see the show Spike in there, and imagine that's *exactly* what would happen, given your conditions. So much going on! So interesting! I am dreadfully sad that I must wait and wait for more, because this was just electrifying. So, in summation, *gush.*

PS: I am specifiically looking forward to more with Willow. I am really interested in what you've done with the Buffy/willow dynamic.

CAN'T WAIT TILL SEPT. WIL ANGEL GO TO JAIL? WHAT NEFARIOUS USE WILL THE SHAMAN HAVE FOR DRUCILLA'S ASHES? THANKS FOR THE GREAT STORY

You did a great job with this action packed chapter. I really enjoyed getting everyone's perspective of what was going down. Fantastic update! See'ya in September! :)

Just thought I'd review here too to keep everybody interested and waiting eagerly for more. :) *hugs*

YEAH.....picture me doing cartwheels in glee...(okay, squeegee that unpleasant visual....)*G*. I am beyond delighted to read this update. I LOVE THE STORY as I think I've said a million times already. No change there.

Poor Dru (and Spike too). Love the seperation of her essence and am dying to find out the plans of that shaman (bet Angel isn't even in on it!!).

Can't wait to see Angel's reaction to Dru's dusting...bwahahahaha SOMEONE is in a heap of trouble over that bit of business.

Hope the REAL Giles is able to transfer ownership muy rapido and would love a jail cell for Angel with a lovely eastern exposure.

Patiently waiting more.

Kathleen

pfft. Let Willow rain down fire and brimstone on the wankers.... *pouts*

Thanks for the update. Great chapter. I will be waiting with baited breath for the update.

Wow! Another exciting chapter. Didn't think about the Willy having problems with W&H and his demon customers. That's why you're the writer and I'm the reader. Really wanted to see Buffy kick Angel's ass though. Write more wonderful chapters and maybe start something new, you know we'll be waiting for you. Thanks. BFN

Very good chapter! I will review more later when I have time. Have an enjoyable vacation!

*Deep, cleansing breath* September! You got it, hun. I, and likely many others, will be there. I'm very glad that you decided to start your hiatus after a chapter that seemed to be looking up at the end. Nothing like seeing Angel hoist by his own petard to make a girl smile! I have utterly enjoyed this fic thus far, and eagerly await it's return. Hope you have a nice vacation!

very good chapter. will wait for more.

that was an excellent update and fortunately not enough of a cliffy to leave us in *too* much torment over the summer :P lol... thanx so much for this great update, maybe they'll accidentally drag angel into sunlight and dust him hehe :)

Good chapter.Update soon.Poor Spike.I love Clem.

As always...worth the wait.
