this chapter was incredible! :) i love the scene with travers, giles was perfectly written...deliciously chilling; the xander/cordy scene was awesome too, and buffys reaction to the whole bonding thing...awesome! :)

lol! I so could picture Spike and Buffy scrambling apart and Spike trying to be all cool as Joyce came into the room. I absolutely LOVE this fic. I can't wait for the next chapter.

I just can't find it to be sorry for Travers. I just love how Cordy and Xander relate... HA And for Joyce to be the one to interrupt Spike and Buffy to give them the "good" news was great. Wonder what made the loud thumping noise?? Great chapter.

Oh, I love Ripper so very much. Great ending to the life of Mr. Travers. Great Giles speech. Just great in general!

I'm sure the fasting will live up to the rest of the story - you've done a great job!

Lovely chapter. Glad Buffy took the news so well.

::Smiles:: loved the update. Cute reaction and now I'm interested in seeing what happens to Hank - and finding out how he got involved.

Damn Joyce for interrupting, but wow, am so glad there was giggling. More of this fantastic story soon, please?

{claps and cheers} Yeah!! I'd say she took it well. I sooooooo look forward to the next chapter. I'm kind of worried about what Travers meant by what will happen to Buffy, etc ... but wow Ripper Giles was definitely there with the cleaning glasses while he watched Travers die. Excellently written chapter.
