very fine read, thank you.

So very glad to see an update to this story! It's been one of my favorites right from the very beginning.
You depict Willow well in this---she comes through clearly as very strong, plus very powerful in this; much more together than she is often depicted. 
Interesting bit of near-necromancy there at the end between Willow & Andrew, especially with the opposing aspects that would have vied in Willow's mind in regards to touching the dead----her Jewish upbringing surely broaching aversion to it, yet her more earthy Wiccan respect for the full-circle of life and death; then to wrap it up her gun-slinging practicality learned on the Hellmouth, to just DO what has to be done when it is called for, and get thru it.
Can't wait for a showdown between Willow and Ethan---surely it's a-coming!?
Love this fic!  More, please, soon!?

"Rayne’s eyes narrowed as he remarked coldly, “Perhaps you’re not as broken as Rupert thought. Well, no matter. We can fix that easily enough…”

Oh YAY!!!  Hope Buffy heard this but at least Willow also knows what Giles has done.  Hope Willow transports herself into the mess in Ireland in time to show Ethan what a REAL witch can do.  THEN  will be time to feed Giles to Spike and make him feel all better *G* .  No, I suppose that wouldn't be "the right thing to do" either but there needs to be REAL punishment...after all he did to Spike, to Buffy and to poor Andrew he needs to pay ultimately.  Besides he has obviously been helping his old lover with his enterprise there and slaving is another sin to Ripper's debit.

So glad to see this updated.  Thank you!!!!!

Go Willow! Fingers crossed she can help, as the majic scales could do with evening up a bit. Nice chapter, as always

Giles didn't even have the decency to come clean about what he'd done to Spike?  I hope he gets what he deserves.  Good fight with Ethan!

As soon as Spike's got that bracelet off I hope he gets his revenge on Ethan! But Buffy's gotta get them out of there in one piece!!

Please post the next chap soon! My heart can't take waiting this long between chapters!

Willow to the rescue! Ethan won't be able to run and hide any more than Giles will.
