I just started reading this and I am happily hooked - This reads like it is going to be a really nice piece of work -

very good read, thank you. need more answers, please.

Why do I get the feeling Willow is now a Big Bad, and her 'work' is trying to open the hellmouth and such?

really liked it, a little different from some of the coming back from the dead stories, like the different ones keep up the updates, looking forward to them

Loved the line about Xander and his two wives! Agree that the story is better than the summary - I'm not usually a fan of future fics.

Just finished this story and wow what an interesting arc- I want to know more about Willow and what really happended to her. You have truly piqued my curiosity and I am definitely wanting more of this! She doesn't seem as damaged by coming back though, is that good or bad?

Oh much better than i thought it would be from the summary! I like it please continue

Hmmmm...... vengence demon anyone??? That is what I think Willow is now. Overall I like this story and can't wait to see what will happen next!

Good start, wondering what has willow been up to and what other changes Buffy will discover.
keen for the next chapter

Wow, things have changed!See didn't see Dawn and Giles after they pasted? Are you going to explain what happened to Dawn? Does Spike work for the Council now since he's Tashi's teacher? Not a vampire but with heightened sense? What's with Willow any way? Can't wait to see the answers to all of my questions. Really glad that she's so comfortable around Spike. This has to be hardest for him. Xander moved on and married twice and has a son. Did Spike find someone else too or has Buffy been irreplaceable? Looking forward to the next chapter, thanks MC, excellent as usual.

Well interesting start, there are a lot of stories to be told in this one. 30 years of events and people changing in that time. Should be good.

I'm totally loving this story so far. Keep writing MC!

So far the only hole is why the heck she rose when she did. But I trust you'll explain that in later chapters.

Interesting story so far. I'm curious as to what happened to Willow. Vengeance demon, perhaps? And why did Spike get a soul? What happened to Dawn?

Please continue!

This is wonderful! You are setting the scene really well for a Willow disaster.

This one was good as well, though I do have one question. Is Dawn dead or just not in Sunnydale? In the first chapter you mentioned she went to live with her Dad. Then in this one she gets paired with Giles in the deceased category, but you really didn't explain if she was dead or not. (unless I missed something)

Either way it was a very good chapter and I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this story. :)

Off to an interesting start. It's hard not to compare it to the other two "Buffy comes back after 20-30 years fics" currently out there, but I assume you will be going in a different direction from either of those. Curious as to who Katya is and what Spike's relationship with her is. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

(tiny voice) the fourth paragraph might have atypo in it - did you mean to say a little bitof a challenge rather than a little of a challenge?

PS Having read the other reviews, I thought I should say that I got Buffy's mirror joke.

Just wanted to let you know - keep up the good work! I'm usually not into umpteen-years-later-Buffy-finds-the-world -changed fics, but you're keeping everyone believable. I'm intrigued by your Spuffy dynamic and curious about what would make Spike get a soul when Buffy's _not_ around.

i'm really liking this so far. can't wait for more.

Looks interesting. I'm looking for a fill-in on Giles and Dawn, too.

So no reflection, super senses and a heartbeat? Ok. Xander got married twice. Who was the first girl? Update soon plz.

This is quite good--you have laid out a nice foundation for the story by introducing all of the players and history quickly but complete manner. At first I thought that the story might just be a rehash of others with a similar premise but it is actually unique. I like it, and I'm looking forward to your next update which I hope is soon :-).

loved the story on how she thinks she is a Vampire and the questions she asked Spike.

Yeh with the returning perkyness! What's the back story on Tashi? You mentioned Spike is her teacher. Is he a Council employee now?

I am looking forward to reading!

Huh. Okay, you've got me. I'm incredibly curious about why Buffy's back, why Willow's such a big secret and how the Council ended up being Slayer-friendly - and, of course, why Spike got his soul if Buffy was gone ...

And Buffy doesn't have a reflection? Now that's gotta drive her crazy.

Waiting on chapter three, eagerly!

Definitely liking this story. Looks like Xander and Willow managed toscrew up thier relationships with Anya and Tara without Buffy coming back. Plus something happened that estranged Xander and Willow from each other.

This looks really good. I like the way you've formed the future for them. Thanks!
