33 -- anya's a bright one...glad she managed to talk to giles without willow or xander interfering...those two need help *rolls eyes*....hope that giles and dawn can figure it out...buffy and spike apparently need "alone time" :)

32 -- wow that was a hot ending for the chapter..worried about dawn, though...it was poor judgment on all of their part (spike, buffy, and giles) to send her off with xander -- who's too wrapped up in his own issues to be much use at the moment -- and willow, who's obviously unbalanced and not to be trusted not to put the girl in even worse danger...and the weird guy with the dogs...doesn't sound good...off to read more :)

31 -- very well written chapter, love giles' reaction, very in character..and when will spike get that she actually loves him?? grr...stupid vampire *spoken as affectionately a possible* :)

30 -- oh buffy so needs to beat the snot out of xander for beating up on spike when he really was in no shape to defend himself, and chipped too...that boy needs to learn a lesson...great chapter, by the way :)

29 -- they're both so uncertain with each other, it's very realistic, but very tense as well...and i hope xander doesn't take this too hard, but i have a feeling that's too much to hope for...reading on for inspiration for my own xander-smackdown i'm about to write! :)

27 -- excellent chapter, so very glad that she let him drink from her...happy for them that things are going so well...it's gonna help her to be able to help him, if you know what i mean :)

I haven't yet thanked you for all the wonderful passages, poems and lyrics you've given us to enjoy as well as the wonderful story that's unfolding before our very eyes. I had thought that prehaps the hounds were after Willow since she opened the portal with nothing to offer as a trade, but since she was in the general vicinity as Dawn and they didn't attack, guess I was mistaken. Now you've got me guessing.

Chapter 31 - Very good chapter loved the Giles interaction and general acceptance. Poor Buffy just being all avoidy girl.

Chapter 32 - I really love how you developed Giles and he what he said about trust. Very nicely done!

Chapter 33 - Great chapter - I loved the Huntsmen trying to talk to the Key! Such a fab story!

Chapter 29 - The Willow cooking breakfest aka micky mouse style was excellant... I loved that! It was perfect. Xander of course doesn't notice anything and even more of course is overreatcing to what he does see. What a jerk!

chapter 30 - Oh what a wonderful emptional chapter. My stomach is tied up into knots after reading that - excellant excellant job. I loved it - xander is being an utter jerk and then thier fight. It was a breathtakign scene.

Chapter 27 - Lovely chapter - I feel sorry for tara who doesn't want to go to her own bed because of Willow. happy that she knows there is a difference between her "just wanting to help" and Willow's version!

Chapter 28 - Willow is scaruly delicious. I absolutly adore your version of her so much potential! *evil wicked grin* Great chapter, I love the emtoional responses of Spike in this - great writing!
