Wow, I'm so sorry. I should be trying to review every chapter of this gorgeous fic, but I just keep reading! I love the way the plotlines are going in this one... not to mention you sure started it off with an electric bang! As for the idea of allies inside the Council... I *like* it. The Council's featured as a Big Bad in many of the fics I've read, but I can't say how heartwarming it is to see so many allies for Buffy as well.

Can't wait for more, am reading now!
