No way was she going to stop looking for Spike and Dawn, to hell with the Council. Can't wait for them to have their reunion. Thanks, Ariel.

excellent update, thank you. love that willow, xander and giles are so consistently egocentric. the ending line is fantastic.

wow, this is such a great story! the way you're weaving buffy's story with cannon is very inventive and quite lovely.
can't wait for the next update!

Hope she finds Dawn and Spike soon. Both Buffy and Spike deserves some happiness.

I particularly liked the last sentence. Clinging to the hope of William's love has tied Buffy to her humanity. She is in limbo and she can go either way although I'm hoping that she stays with the good guys since Spike is still on the side of the slayers.

All these years, and Buffy's finally having to grow up. Is she going to have to go house to house for clues before she finally gets to Drusilla's? Hey, she could use the t-shirt for a locator spell!

I hope you show Spike in the next chapter...I want to know if he's still feeling the tingles from the claim.

Giles actually had the audacity to ask that she train the new Slayers? She doesn't owe them anything! Wanker.
