Whoa ... heavy chapter, but well written.

I'm pretty surprised Buffy spared her life. It's not where the story seemed to be leading with Buffy distancing herself from Willow and the Celtic gods being bloodthirsty. It's not the smart thing to do either since there's any number of ways Willow could become extremely dangerous. And you can bet she'd explore every one of them. Mind you, it is justice, but I wasn't expecting justice at this point.

wow, sounds like quite a hefty penalty for willow..i almost feel sorry for her...*almost*...and i'm glad spike's doing all right, and i hope buffy can handle seeing willow's penalty handed down...great chapter, very much enjoyed it :)

ohhh so good so good, I want to read the rest but I dont want it to finish!!

Would it be a safe bet to figure Willow still has absolutely no concept of how she screwed up? Strip her powers and take her friends away, she'll just end up an evil human. Still dangerous even without the power. Buffy's too soft-hearted. I don't know if I'd have let her live, at least not without hearing her speak for herself. Excellent chap as always. Can't wait for more.

Retribution is on its way. I love this story!

That is very powerful writing. I could feel it. I could feel Arianrhod as he made his wise decision. I'm hoping that they all out live her, she deserves nothing less. That was awesome, Niamh. Will wait for any update for this amazing story, thanks.

*That* is an effective curse. I don't know that having her life spared is going to be Willow's desire when she discovers the actuality of those restrictions. The loss of control is really going to hurt. Looking forward to more (always).

Great chapter.
"Release comes not, until the last of your betrayed is at peace." Wow, Willlow will have to wait a long time.

death would have been mercy. loved it, thank you.

I like the way you present the hall and the judging. I'll be interested to see what the judgement means and how Willow will react.
