I have been ready this story for quite a few days and can not imagine a better way to pass the time than with your words. You have a wonderful talent and I eagerly await the next chapter. You see I read this while I'm at work so that I do not go insane and your story has lasted much longer than many others and I continue to think about the story long after I have closed the page. May you muses keep you well.

I love this story. I stayed clear for a while, mostly because of the sheer size of it, and of it's lengthy predecessor. I'd read the original some time back, but long enough ago that I felt the need to read it again. I eventually got impatient and picked up Revelations. Several sleep-deprived nights later, and I've managed to catch up. This has become one of my very favorite stories, and I hope to be reading your work for a long time to come. I especially liked the inclusion and roles of Faith and Lawson. Underused characters of the 'verse, in my opinion - at least the Spike centric part of it I read.

I see you stayed true to canon here. Darn, I was hoping they could raise the kids together. Now they have a warrior to fight by his parents side, guess Wesley's got competition. I have forgotten about Tara and Oz. I love this relationship and want to see where it goes. Wondering what Xander's finally going to do with his life. Can't wait for Willow to come back and see if she will try to get back at them anyway. It looks like she just might not believe them, and may give it a shot. She's still not taking responsibility for her actions. Sorry that this part is ending but still so much more to tell, thanks.

Nice to see how evrything was the morning after the battle. And I can't wait for Buffy's reaction to Connor.

wow...what a shock for buffy...excellent chapter, love, glad willow's finally going to pay for what she's done...great job :)

Ok what the heck happened to Connor that he came back as a ten, or perhaps even older? Not quite sure how Buffy is going to react to that, although it's interesting that Connor called her mom when he is clearly much bigger and wasn't raised with her.

Loved the scene between Anya and Giles. From his original uncomfort to her deliberate teasing, to them joining together. It was all a wonderful exploration of a new relationship.

Interesting to hear more of Oz's thoughts about his feelings for Tara. That his attraction to her is based primarily on how she makes him feel at home. I'd like to know what Tara knows about his feelings and how she feels in return. She seems very comfortable with him and protective towards him but I don't know how she would respond to the idea that he would like it to be more. It is good that he has no plans to try and get her to reciprocate what he feels.

Xander really is confused about the reality of things and his place in them. Actually confused may be too generous. A more accurate decision would be unhappy. It might be best if he stays away from the rest of them for awhile until he can get his head right about the other relationships. I think he should avoid Willow as well when she gets back because clearly she has a lot of penance to do if she doesn't want to suffer worse consequences.

Really nice moment between Buffy and Faith with them supporting each other and drawing some comfort from the honest words of compassions shared.

Marvelous chapter!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of everyone! :) As always, I'll be waiting breathlessly for the next. :)

Love this story. So glad that you are doing a third one.

I like the way you're wrapping things up at a measured and logical pace. I have a problem both with the 'the action's over so my story's done' abrupt stop and the 'I have no idea how to finish so I'll meander all over just writing more stuff until I think of something good' conclusion. I can't wait to see how Willow reacts over time to her punishment; and how she tries to wriggle out of it.

Another amazing chapter. Xander's soul-searching was better late than never, but he's still a git! And I love all the progress elsewhere. I doubt Willow's contrition will last.

Btw, I hope you add more to Destinies soon too! =D

Tieing up loose ends is always my favourite part of the stories. I'm sad it's gonna be over soon, I just love it

I have got to say this has been one great read! I admire your ability to stick with it and keep me on the edge of my seat.

I have so many questions:
What happened to Cordy - last I remember she was alone in the hospital.

What about Dru - are you going to let her walk away scot free?

Are you going to introduce us to Spike and Buffy's kids in the next book?

OMG OMG OMG!! I LOVE how this story is turning out! You are, HANDS DOWN, one of the best fanfic writers I've ever read. I DEMANDZ MOAR! *chuckles* Okay, the rabid fanfic demanding part is over; now I can point out specific parts.

Is it horribly wrong of me that I really really hope Tara comes around to being in love with Oz? I know, I know; she's gay, she's never been attracted to guys... but Oz is the sweetest guy! I love how you've portrayed him in this story, I really do.

I also think your characterization of Faith is spot on; she had to have gained SOME maturity over the intervening years. And while I'm still annoyed with Xander, I do think I can understand what his motivations were.

Willow, on the other hand... call me vindictive, but I sincerely hope that the gang NEVER forgives her and she NEVER gets her powers back. It would serve her right. But then I can be a vindictive bitch; so I promise that whatever you end up writing about that situation I'll end up happy with, 'cause you're just that good. *chuckles* Keep up the good work!
