more like 'Every Little Bit is Depressing' lol. It was a well written story - just you killed of Dawn! and Willow! lol. in like the first chapter! That so shocked me! I adore Dawn. Her death was the most upsetting. When I read the Character Death warning I figured you were just being cautious cause it started in The Body - but nope - you were true to your word. delivered character death. lol. But no - besides pushing me into depression (j/k) - it was well done. Great job.

So they keep "using" Willow, can't wait for HER revenge, it'll be sweet, I'm sure. Love the tale. looking forward to more.

loved the updates

Thanks for the update. Loved the spuffy loving. Hope your characters let you stick to your outline.

Ooooh, I loved it!! Wow, Tara's 180 was unexpected, but totally understand why she's cold to Buffy and Spike. That was a reunion from hell, but I'm glad that they were able to talk and relate everything that's been happening lately. And having drunk Giles in the end was perfection. Can't wait for another!!!

I don't know why but Gemma just SMACKED of Wilma (from the actual Scoobies) to me...and I liked her a lot. That said it was still a bittersweet chapter for me...looks like my worst fears were realised (and you know, just to wring every last bit of emotion out of it, I decided to throw Randy Newman's 'Think it's gonna rain today' on while I read this chappie, LOL). Love the new kids on the block and they dynamic they seem to have going already - wondering how Buffy and Spike will work in with them towards their common goal. Oh and poor Tara, her pain is understandable though misdirected in my opinion. That's the nature of grief however, it makes reasoned thinking difficult. She still appeared to be trying to handle herself with consideration however and that to me rings true of the Tara character we got to know on BtVS. Well done and looking forward to your next update 8-)

Ah it WAS a nice little interlude with the Spuffy start to the chapter. Looks like the storm clouds are gathering however and boy do I forecast rain! Poor Tara...I really missed her gentle character when she was killed but always suspected there was an iron core to her soft and generous heart. Here's hoping in her quest to save what she can of Willow she doesn't allow the dark magics to control her the way Willow did. And boy oh boy how will Buffy react when she eventually discovers Willow's fate? I'm on the edge of my seat now! 8-D

Oh hell...I'll admit I loved Vampy Willow from the Wish but this? Poor Willow, poor the Scoobies and oh how will Buffy feel? There's the potential for her to feel responsible since she needed time alone before rejoining 'the world' if you will. Here's hoping she doesn't do that to herself. And please let there be some serious protracted and drawn out ass-kickage for Dawn's (and Willow's) murderer in the not too distant future ~offers up a piece of cyber-mudcake with cherries, nuts and cream on top~ pretty, pretty please?

This story is really a great twist! It's sad that Willow died, but I like this angry side of Tara and I think that's what she would have been like on the show if anything had happened to Willow (like in season 6, Buffy's birthday). What episode was it that Buffy and Faith threw the watcher into a skylight?

I had actually thought that it was the Fang Gang that was coming not the Council. Interesting development. I hope that Tara can forgive Buffy and Spike. It really wasn't Buffy and Spike's fault. They killed him. He should have stayed dead. It is only because he drank Dawn's blood that he isn't dead. I hope they can find that out and Tara can get past it.

Powerful start! I'll be watching for updates which I hope won't be much longer.

Yummy chap. Thanks for the smuttage (always room for more smuttage where S&B are concerned). More please.
