17 -- oh no...what did willow let get through that portal?? what's gonna happen next...? very exciting story, pet :)

16 -- wow...not so sure that's the best way of doing this, but i suppose we'll see soon, won't we? you write this so well, the visuals and emotions are so clear...on to more :)

15 -- well at least she's up and talking a bit...that was a rough night...don't think she's quite up to facing everyone yet though *sigh* another well done chapter :)

14 -- wow...it's heartbreaking to see buffy so terrified, so hurting, struggling to come to get past what's happened to her...and spike's doing such a good job...and poor dawnie, so lost.... *sigh*..very good chapter, though :)

13 -- that was such a relief to see buffy react like that to dawn...so very sweet and tender...very good chapter :)

Emotionally draining chapters and this was your first attempt at fanfiction, it's incredible. Your easy and insight with these characters is unbelievable. I'm so glad that you decided to buy S5. You are a definte asset to the Buffyverse and Spuffy.

Chapter 15 - Very nice chapter! I liked the "i knew one of us wouldn't make it line"

Chapter 16 - Nice dramatic entrence of Buffy :-)

Chapter 17 - *shakes head* and she just thought there would be no consequences. How foolish could she be? Excellant excellant chapters and great story so far!

Chapter 13 - The scene with Dawn and Spike was poigant. Her wanting to see her sister, Spike unsure how to tell her how broken Buffy appeared. Really excellant writing! I love your style so much!

Chapter 14 - I loved how you had Giles turn right around and fly back. Flagging someone and telling them that his daughter had been in an accident was brilliant!
