{stands and cheers, sits, standxs and cheers again} Encore ... encore ... encore!! Excellent story from start to finish. You had so many elements in this piece that you wrapped together so wonderfully. Bravo!! This is a well written piece of work. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, yet again.
 
EstherFamily05/03/2006 11:19 pm
Wow, great updates!! Just read the last four chapters and I have to say...I love them!! So glad that Buffy/Spike are married and he's a champion of the Slayers and Guardians. And the end of this one...woohoo....love the Angel stuff. Glad you mentioned the cookie dough, too. Can't wait for more!
 
AthenewolfeFamily05/02/2006 02:06 pm
Oh that is so wonderful! ANy chance I could beg an epilogue someday? I would love to know who left with Buffy, who the Scoobies reacted and how AI and Scoobies mesh, or if they did. This was wonderful and a great story!
ditto

eventually - yes. I'll be doing a sequel. Have some other WIPs that need attention.
 
CutieSaiyajinFamily05/02/2006 12:44 am
Brilliant! This story was great. I'd love to see a sequel!
Thank you. Eventually, after I get rid of some other projects, I do plan on coming back to this little universe I've created.
 
JessicaFamily05/01/2006 11:30 pm
Absolutely loved it. I will definitely be looking for the sequel. Can't wait to see more of Dana and the others. I especially like their new little family. Wonderful story.
Thanks Jessica. I like their new little family as well.
 
Ariel DawnFamily05/01/2006 09:18 pm
Ok, this fic rocked my socks! Love it! You did such a good job with characterizations. I absolutely loved how you interwove the past dream parts with the flow of the story. I haven't been able to find a lot of fics recently that captured my attention so that I actually finished reading it. This one did. Kudos to you! *huggles* Thanks for writing such a great fic!
Thank you!!! I'm so happy that ASP captured your attention. I hope when I get time to do the sequel, you'll like that as well.
 
KatFamily05/01/2006 05:27 pm
absolutly amazing story. I love it all so much. I meen really loved it all.

Yay! thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
 
vladtFamily05/01/2006 02:53 pm
very good upadate, very good tale, (just a tad to merciful to angel, personal bias.) thanks for the fun read.

Yes, well. I wholeheartedly understand your view, V. I share it as well. But, I liked the image of him sitting there, on the floor, watching his friends, Buffy and even his errant grandchilde (lol) walk out the door without caring about him.
 
pfeifferpackFamily05/01/2006 02:40 pm
Wonderful....in my imagination Gunn comes to his senses and joins them shortly afterward.

I loved this creation of an entire new force. Excellent.

Kathleen

Yep, I'm quite fond of this little universe I've created, too. Thanks, Kathleen. I'm happy you enjoyed this.
 
NiamhFamily05/01/2006 11:38 am
Yeah! Angel so deserved to hear that. God I hate that wanker. Only I'm really sorry this is finished. *sniffs* I wanted to see the scoobies' reactions. . .and Giles too. . . wah. . . .

Psst, Nia...will be writing a sequel.
 
gailleeFamily05/01/2006 11:31 am
Thank you so much. You did not disappoint me with the final chapters. I loved them just as much as the first ones. Thanks again.

Ah, thank you, G. I'm glad you liked my tale.

Heeeey, where's the happy ending SMUT?

And awwww, no Angel dustage? Heehee, Nice story and happy ending... now they just need fat babies.

They have happy walking out into the distance ending. lol
 
slinkypsychokitFamily05/01/2006 03:25 am
**is clapping wildly and bouncing in seat**

Oh who cares if Angel doesn't get dusty? Leaving him in one piece to watch the fruits of his misdeeds is fun, too!


...Is it okay for me to pretend that Dana came back later and chopped off his hands? Really, 's not like Angel needs his hands to brood. And considering he's not exactly in any condition to be getting his happy on...well...not ever gonna need his hands, is he?

sure you can pretend, just remember it's my universe.
 
linzFamily05/01/2006 03:19 am
that was harsh.
 
RobynFamily05/01/2006 02:42 am
This was absolutely fabulous. I loved how Buffy walked in and informed everyone of exactly what was going on. I liked that they freed Wes, Fred, and Lorne. I really loved how protective Dana is and Dawn telling Angel that he was beneath Buffy was perfect. And I loved Andrew’s reaction to Spike being alive. Thanks for a great story.

Thank you, Robyn! *hugs*

I had to keep Andrew's original dialogue from "Damage" in there. It's classic. I so appreciate you sticking with me through this tale.
 
daisyFamily05/01/2006 01:58 am
awsome ending. wouldn't mind seeing how the scoobies react though. maybe if you ever fell like it. again awsome story.

Daisy, eventually after tying up some other projects, I'll write a sequel to this. I really like this universe I've created. So many things to explore.
 
~*~Tasha~*~ A Time for Rituals05/06/2006 04:58 pm
Excellent ritual for brining Senaya forth. i like Dawn's involvement as well. her blood still being "Key" had so many possibilities to play if she hadn't turned all into Bitch Dawn in Season 7.
 
Harriet A Time for Rituals05/05/2006 05:02 am
This is a beautiful fic! I love it, I really liked how you worked Dana into it because I think she has a great character that no one really uses. I rekon you could even add a sequel to this if you hadn't considered that yet, it would be awesome!
 
Athenewolfe A Time for Rituals05/02/2006 01:46 pm

Gaaah (last chapter...) Rieff was in another episode than I though!!!! (bad me). Yes! Doyle dying a hero my ultimate fav Doyle eppy. I mixed it up with the Ring (bad me, bad me).

YES a human wedding too, I like the way Dawn thinks.

Love Dana and Seneya bond and the vision of the future it brings for all of them.

Lovely,

Kathleen

And you know would have wanted a human wedding too.
 
Niamh A Time for Rituals05/01/2006 11:30 am
Ohhhh. . . Slayer line runs from Buffy. . meaning they get forever?
**whistles innocently** the answer to your question will be in the inevitable sequel.

so i saw on the tag that you had updated this story, but i couldnt remember seeing it before(the other chapters) just wanted to let you know that this is an awsome story and i wish i had picked it up eairler. please mroe soon. hope angel gets his a## kicked
Thank you Daisy! You've already found the last chap, so you now know the ending.
 
MarzBar A Time for Rituals05/01/2006 01:46 am
Thank you for the fab story. Nice fluffy family ending for Spuffy.
Yay! a review from Marz! I'm happy now.
 
Robyn A Time for Rituals05/01/2006 01:42 am
I loved the surprise of Dawn being there, and how she greeted Dana was perfect. That was really a wonderful ritual, and I loved Dawn's way of letting Spike know that she wants a human ceremony for him and Buffy.
I had to bring Dawn back. It was fitting that she was in the second chapter and then to reemerge in the next to last chapter. I'm all for symmetry. And of course, Dawn wants the whole she-bang for her sis.
 
Jessica A Time for Rituals05/01/2006 01:40 am
Well it seems that I have found this story a bit late, considering you are almost done with it. But I love it all the same. Can't wait for them to take care of this "business." Should be fun. ; )
It's never too late to climb aboard, Jessica. Thanks for reviewing!
 
Unholydragoon A Time for Rituals05/01/2006 01:27 am
hmmm... I liked it. My only complaint is that it feels just a bit rushed. Coulda mebbe padded it out a tic, added some more crazy Dana, given us the Spike called Dawn scene, things like that.

Yet, it was still an excellent chapter.
Originally I decided to contain this story in 12 chapters. It was written for Seasonal Spuffy, and I didn't want it too long. That being the case, I wanted to focus on moving the story forward. Some stuff, like Spike or Clem calling Dawn, could easily be done off screen if you will. Besides, her appearance was written as a surprise for Buffy and for the reader.

As for exploring Dana's madness and eventual healing. Senaya's bonding with Dana only went so far. In the eventual sequel, I'll explore this more and what actually happened to her. Like I put in my previous response to your review of the previous chap, I'm loving this little universe I've created. Not sure I'm ready to let go quite yet.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Shared Dream05/06/2006 04:54 pm
I really like the direction you've taken this whole story. With all of the plots out there, you still find original and entertaining ways to enthrall us. Thank you so much for still writing. I enjoy every word.
 
AthenewolfeShared Dream05/02/2006 01:45 pm
ahhh I like reiff and dana - how sweet! Excellant spuffy!
Yep. I love using characters you don't normally see.
 
pfeifferpackShared Dream05/01/2006 02:13 pm
BTW...loved the wedding in the last chapter....now THAT'S a wedding *G*. Great bitey scene, very emotional. I always love it when BUFFY initiates it and surprises him.....sigh....

off to finish this complete 10 story now.

Kathleen
ASP's a 10! Yay! *hugs* you for thinking so. I like the idea of them being married without losing any of their sass and fire.
 
NiamhShared Dream05/01/2006 11:25 am
Rieff is smitten. Dana is, despite her past, adorably innocent. And Spike as-husband -- Love it. Great chapter, sweetie.
thank you, Nia. Yes, our new slayer sister has captured the heart of our young Lister.
 
UnholydragoonShared Dream05/01/2006 12:51 am
Excellent story. I hadn't been reading it, but I decided to drop in and it turned out really well. Can't wait for the finish.

Will there be a sequel?
Thanks for dropping in!

I have to finish some other projects, but I'm loving the universe I've created here, so yes, eventually there will be a sequel.

What a gift for Spike, to find out that he had a destiny that he could have never imagined. I love his and Buffy's banter, their happiness. And Dana is so cute.
Yes, I love my Dana. Spike so deserves everything. Angel who?

~*~Tasha~*~A Litte Less Conversation, A Little More Action05/06/2006 04:48 pm
PERFECT! This was an excellent ritual claiming. Unique slant on it, and very romantic. I like how she respected Dru's Sire marks. Her willingness to let him eradicate Angel's marks was even more perfect. It showed that she respected his link to his Sire, but that she had no respect or desire to have any mark of Angel remain on her.
 
AthenewolfeA Litte Less Conversation, A Little More Action05/02/2006 01:41 pm
what a wonderful claiming! Very original and very wonderful!
Thank you! I tried.
 
pfeifferpackA Litte Less Conversation, A Little More Action05/01/2006 02:03 pm
Was going to wait to comment again till the end.....and still will but wanted to say a big WOO HOO For Rieff! I LOVED that episode of Angel (that was when I actually began to like Angel the character actually). I can see any of those former combatants at Sanctuary. Great choice for this completely wonderful story.

Kathleen
Thank you! Anytime I can do shout outs to some great characters, even minor ones, I try. Rieff, here, seemed the perfect choice.
 
NiamhA Litte Less Conversation, A Little More Action05/01/2006 11:20 am
Yeah! Someone else uses Latin! wheee.. Oh I love this chapter.
Thank you. I'm just hoping I used it correctly. *blushes*

just what you like...I know. Have to please my Wulfie.
 
RobynA Litte Less Conversation, A Little More Action04/30/2006 11:13 pm
That was certainly a nice shower.
I love that Buffy is making sure that Spike knows how much he really means to her, that she initiated the claiming ritual erasing any doubt that she might not mean what she has been telling him. And what a beautiful ritual it was.
Thank you! I tried my best to do just to the claiming cliche after all the controversy this past week over it. I'm down with the cliche!

I'm happy you liked my twist on it. It was more of a marriage, than a claim per se.

Thanks again, Robyn.
 
vladtA Litte Less Conversation, A Little More Action04/30/2006 10:58 pm
hot, sexy and sweet scene. buffy's not taking any chance this time, claiming. good read, fine tale. thanks.

yes, nummy smut
 
~*~Tasha~*~A Little Conversation05/06/2006 04:42 pm
Love it when those two are playful. I like how you had Spike stop them before it went to far because he wanted to be sure that Buffy knew it couldn't be like before. I liked seeing him stand up for himself like that, even when he wanted her so badly.
 
AthenewolfeA Little Conversation05/02/2006 01:40 pm

I really liked her too. I have plans for her....
 
EstherA Little Conversation04/30/2006 10:25 pm
Wow, just read these two new chapters and they're wonderful!! I love Buffy being so open and loving with Spike and can't blame him for being fearful it'd all change. Ahh, but it's been great seeing how she's reassuring him. Love it!! Can't wait for more!!
Thank you! I didn't want to rush the sex, they SO needed to talk.

I am glad that Lydia survived the explosion, I liked her. I like that Buffy and Spike are talking about their previous problems and not just sweeping them under the rug. And again, I love the fun in their relationship.
I loved Lydia. If I decided to actually do a sequel, she'll be featured.

I enjoyed Clem's exuberance at seeing Spike again, and I loved Buffy teasing Spike about biting. I enjoyed the fun that they were having with each other and how natural it was. I think you are showing perfectly what their relationship could have been had she felt that she could allow it, the true enjoyment of each other.
Awww...thank you Robyn. I'm so happy you are liking how I'm writing them.

pfeifferpackReunion05/01/2006 03:13 pm
Butting in with a comment on what you (Holly) said to Esther in your reply.....I always thought they could use a plot device like the famous Faith/Buffy body switch device or the reversal method using magic and have "Buffy" in a new body without altering canon a bit! SMG didn't have to come back and think of the "no really it IS me!" scenes *G*.

Kathleen
True. It would have been funny to see that. *sigh* maybe if the WB in their infinite stupidity hadn't cancelled Angel...S6 would have opened up that possibility.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Reunion04/11/2006 12:10 am
Wow ... April 30th? That's a long ways away. {sniffles} Heading out of town?

Chapter 6 was cool. I love the whole ancient language communication. It puts them all on a different level, unique to just them. {Smiles} I like the Bruce character too. Betcha Clem is going to flip when he actually gets to hug Spike. {grins} I look forward to when you are going to be able to finish this one. You put out the chapters pretty quick, and I am in awe of you at that.
Apr 30th is almost here. Yeah, gotta love Bruce.

I wished it had happened like that too - heck, they could have explained that Buffy has a face transplant and hired another actress (not!) just give me my Spuffy!

Yay for the reunion and for not cutting off Spikes hands. Another yay for Buffy absorbing Star Trek. I wish we didn't have to wait until April 30th for more but I will read it whenever you give it to us.
Thanks Marz. I'm glad you liked the Andorian reference. And there will be no cutting off of Spike's precious hands. Thank you for being patient. Since I'm writing it for Seasonal Spuffy and my day is pretty much over, my beta and I are both sick and all...I'm going to have to wait til the free day to post it. Then you'll have lots to read.

Since this is written for Seasonal Spuffy, I have to go by its dictates. Their 'free' day to post any unfinished fic is April 30th. Since I'm writing it for that community, I'm posting it there first. Ergo, no more chaps til the 30th.

Love the story so far.

Just one thing tho....is there such a thing a as chinese lingo...I thought it was mandarin that was the major lingo but with a lot of variations but no 'real' chinese language.
ah, you're correct. But would Buffy really care? It's all gibberish to her.
 
maryperkShow Time04/09/2006 12:29 pm
ACK, No.... Dont leave us there!!! More. More. LOL
had to, I'm evil. Didn't Wulfie tell ya? lol
 
kimShow Time04/09/2006 12:27 pm
Oh, too funny.

Buffy knows ancient Slayer-speak. Wow.

Yeah, I love a mature and self-assured Buffy, too. Even better that she's not with that slimy Immortal.
the Slayer speak will be discussed later. thank you for liking it
 
JackofspikesShow Time04/09/2006 12:14 pm

i love your use of tara, the mention of anya and the first slayer - you are weaving these characters in very well! Wonderful Wonderful story so far!
thank you, Steph.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Preparation04/11/2006 12:00 am
ooo ... like that greeting from Dana. Glad she recognizes either Buffy's scent, tinglies, or face. Good chapter. I like the parts with Clem. That little whisper on the wind, possibly from Anyanka, was a nice touch too. I like how you are handling everything. I enjoy the story.
Thank you!
 
RobynPreparation04/10/2006 06:17 am
Thank you for including Anya in this chapter, and I'm glad that Clem is still here, he is the best. It's nice that Buffy seems to have gotten to Dana in time. I am really enjoying this story. Oh, by the way the first sentence in the second paragraph down in this last section the word the is missing the t.
I'm all about saving Spike's precious hands Plus, Dana remains an innocent from murder this way. And that's for the typo heads up.
 
DeliciaPreparation04/10/2006 05:25 am
I'm glad Buffy isn't too pissed at Spike, and that she understands why he didn't contact her. Great chapter!
Yeah, she had to be honest with herself, given her track record with him - old Buffy would have staked or hit first and asked questions later.
 
NiamhPreparation04/09/2006 09:37 pm
I love how Clem is the one she turned to for help, and how he's doing all that he can to help both of them. . . Have I mentioned that I love this story too? Well, I do.
I love Clem. He seemed like a natural choice.
 
kimPreparation04/09/2006 11:55 am
Ah, good, Dana can feel the Slayer essence they share. Heck, she probably has some of Buffy's dreams or memories, too.

Wonderful to see Buffy so sure and in charge, and calm. This is a well-adjusted and mature Slayer, finally. Go, you.
Thanks Kim. In my universe, Spike's death changed Buffy. Besides I like Buffy when she's more self-assured.
 
EstherPreparation04/09/2006 11:38 am
Oooh, I love it!! Another great story in the making and I can't wait for more!!
thanks Esther!

this story is amazing. Can't wait for an update, I know I'm being greedy.
that's okay. In the words of Gordon Gecko - "Greed is Good."

maryperkPreparation04/09/2006 10:21 am
Great chapter, Holly. Love Buffy thanking Tara and Anya. Love that Buffy recognized Lindsey for being evil.
thanks! don't get wrong, I love Lindsey, but that guy just oozed badness right from the beginning.

AthenewolfeRevelations05/02/2006 01:26 pm
Oh i love what you did with tara! Excellant job sweetie!
Thank you! You know how I adore Tara.
 
RobynRevelations04/10/2006 06:05 am
I love that Buffy got the chance to tell Tara thank you. And how like Spike to find a way to try and help his girls, it took her a long time to realize how good he was for her and her family. Thanks for including Clem, you are doing a great job of bringing in some favorites.
Yes, too long a time - when it was basically there right in front of her. Thanks!
 
DeliciaRevelations04/10/2006 05:13 am
Cool! I didn't expect the goings on in this chapter. I love the story behind the passports. It does seem like something Spike would do. Tara being a potential was a stroke of brilliance!
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to surprise you.
 
NiamhRevelations04/09/2006 09:35 pm
Ready, Randy? Joan’s coming for you.

Oh God. . . yeah, this is how it should have gone. . not the other way. . . I love the idea of the passports, what a great twist
thank you; I'd always thought Spike was the master at having a backup plan - esp. since his plans had a way of backfiring. Plus, I so see him knocking Buffy unconscious, piling the Summers women in the DeSoto and taking off for parts unknown.
 
~*~Tasha~*~Revelations04/09/2006 07:44 am
Eek! More more more pretty pretty please. {whimpers and begs really nicely} This is already such an awesome fic, and I'm hooked big time. Might as well toss me in the skillet for the fish fry because you have me hook, line and sinker. I look forward to more.
lmao! I think I'll save you instead of frying you up.
 
DanyRevelations04/09/2006 05:46 am
Great beginning for one of my favorite storyline .
Thank you!

AthenewolfeNew Understanding05/02/2006 01:10 pm
Wonderful - I love how she found out that Spike was back!
Tara & Senaya rule!
 
RobynNew Understanding04/10/2006 05:55 am
Buffy correcting herself on Spike doing something stupid made me chuckle. This chapter is really great, and I am glad that Buffy finally sat Dawn down and explained things to her. Her not trusting Angel is a very good thing.
Yeah, I felt that was really missing from that last year. It was all about the First and less about their inter-relationships.
 
DeliciaNew Understanding04/10/2006 04:56 am
Nice! Love the surprise that Dawn missed Spike, it's sweet. Spike doing something stupid, nah, not Spike! LOL, about the eye roll.
Yeah, let's be realistic about Spike. lol
 
NiamhNew Understanding04/09/2006 09:33 pm
“When you find Spike, tell him to come home.”

Exacly how I figure she would react. . . . I love this story!!!
Thank you! *hugs*
 
~*~Tasha~*~New Understanding04/09/2006 07:40 am
Wonderful flash backs as well as moving the story forward. That was a nice way to show that she's moving along with the flight and arriving in LA ... but also showing us what happened before. I think you have the characters down excellently, as you always do.
What a wonderful compliment! *blushes* I always worry about making the characters sound true.

I am working hard at getting the story completed today.

RobynThe Beginning04/10/2006 05:48 am
This is a very promising start, and I love that you have brought Tara into the story, she was a favorite of mine.
yes, I loved Tara too
 
MorriganThe Beginning04/10/2006 05:44 am
Cool start.  The imagery is great!  I'm going to have to read on and see what happens next.

WOW ! Awesome start to this fic. I am quite eager to see where it goes. Tara being given time by the PTB? That is soooooo great!
Thank you Tasha! This has been brewing in my mind for some time. I hope you like all the twists and turns.

jl1980The Beginning04/09/2006 12:01 am
very intriguing start...like this a lot and can't wait to see where you take it....and by the way very pretty banner
I fell in love with the banner made by Sandy. It inspired the fic. I asked her if I could use it and she graciously agreed.
