Liked the way Xander tried to save Buffy and the human Angel reverting to his Liam past.

*nods* Well, if it's between the two - Angel and Spike - we know which one Xander's going to choose. :)

wow! Awesome chapter. Jeez...Angel is...wow. Yuck. What an ass. I know we haven't seen the last of him.
Oh, definitely not the last of him!

{Growls} I want to string Angel up. You know that isn't going to be the end of Angel's meddling. I was afraid of what he was going to do next. I know we see it in the last chapter, but I won't give it away in case people are reading the reviews per chapter.

This was an awesome chapter as well. I like Willow and Xander's reactions to it. I like that they figured it out too. That was pretty cool.
Thanks - I wanted an understanding and less bigoted Willow and Xander this time.

Wow Patti, I just don't know what to say. This fic is just wonderful! The Bangel stuff was yucky :D, but you really delivered on the Spuffy. I hope Angel didn't get the Sanshu, that he just got that demon blood on him. Did Angel really know that Spike survived? Did anyone else survive? I hope Dru finds her "Daddy" and turns him so that he can be dusted very soon :D
Um - Angel did get the Shanshu - but who knows if he was lying about Spike? He obviously knew that Spike had seen him change, so we can assume he would know it was a possibility that Spike was leaving Buffy to him.

I always thought Angel looked on Buffy as his Cracker Jack surprise, his reward for all those many (7) years of actively doing good during his over 200 years on the planet. Snort!

Good scene in a great tale.

Thank you, sweetie!

Teeheehee - I mean, uh, Awww poor Angel hehehehe. I loved it! Especially the part about Willow and Xander being pro-Spike, instead of Xand going all freaky and weird on them!
Thanks - glad you like the alternate take on Willow and Xander.

I really need to hug your Muse. Seriously. The last two chapters have been great. I love the fact that Willow and Xander actually 'get a clue' and are there for Buffy. Angel? Oh well, once a douche always a douche.
:)

Brilliant! Human or vampire, you've demonstrated exactly why I never thought Angel would be right for Buffy. I'm enjoying this and can't wait for more.
Thank you. More coming soon.

Oh I love it when arrogant!Angel is taken down a peg or three. I never liked his version of "reward for services rendered" redemption.
Yeah - kind of interesting that all those years of doing nothing count towards redemption, isn't it?

Wow! That was one explosive confrontation. Xander was right, Angel is aggrogant, superior-acting, and scary. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Fantastic chapter!
Thanks - I'm glad you liked it. More soon.

Yes I do think that went well..... can we kill Angel now he's human?? another good chapter, keep 'em coming :-)
Thanks. More on the way.

God Buffy's only a piece of property to Angel, part of his reward, as in she owe's it to him to marry her. She's his part and parcel. He can never compare to Spike, not in her heart. Hope you are going to update this soon. I want more to read when I get back. Excellent fic, sms
By the time you get back, it will be finished. Enjoy, sweetie!

Eeep, so I know Angel's human, but damn, he's needs a serious ass-whooping---courtesy of Buffy or Spike. Heck, I'll take Xander kicking his ass, so long as that arrogant jackass is beaten to a bloody pulp. Whew, hon, you've brought the blood-thirsty Angel hater outta me---WOOHOO!!! Can't wait for another!
Hee! Wait till you see what the jerk does next. LOL

“Well, that went well, don’t you think?” *sniggers* Shame there was no O'Thickhead ass kicking but I have a feeling thats a comin'. *gleefully anticipates it*
LOL It may surprise you...

My God, Angel is an ass. This story is wonderful and I can't wait to see Buffy knock Angel around, several times. Spike may want to handle the beating himself but he's man enough to enjoy watching Buffy do it. =)
LOL Thanks for the kind words.

Way to go with evil human Angel! How will Buffy deal with him?
She may not have to - stay tuned...

10/29/2006 05:14 am
One of the very few times that I agree with Xander! Great chapter and I love the way Angel refers to Buffy as 'it'.He is still waaay scarey and moe than capable of being dangerous - and they can't even stake him! Looking forwrd to more.
Thanks - more tonight.

Xander’s comment that this was going to be fun and that he should have brought popcorn and his comment after Angel left made me chuckle. Angel going on about how Buffy was his reward made me feel a bit sick; I loved how she responded and how that response included that she realized that he didn’t love her. Thank you for the update, I can’t wait to see how the anything else with Angel might go but I really enjoyed this part of it.
Thanks - I'm glad it all worked for you.

10/29/2006 04:33 am
Xander was actually almost funny. ;)

I know it's not going to end there. Angel is to selfabsorbed to let things end peacefully. Big trouble ahead!!!

This should be fun!!!
hee! Well, fun for somebody - maybe not so much for Angel....

Angel's going to cause problems, isn't he?

And he'll deserve anything they do to him in retaliation.

Good showing the differences between Angel's and Spike's attitude towards Buffy. To Spike she's a woman, to Angel she's property.And I don't remember her being promised to Angel. I think he's a wee bit delusional about that.
Ah well, Angel's been known to be a bit delusional about things that don't suit him...

Well, looks like Buffy is going to get the treat of being stalked by a human for a change. Excellent chap. Can't wait for more.
More tomorrow, I hope.

okay, that last bit froma angel was more than a little scary...makes me think he's gonna still cause quite a bit more trouble...so glad they both stood up to him though, and that xander and willow are both being supportive...great chapter, looking forward to more :)
Yeah - he's gonna make a pest of himself....
