When is Buffy going to unwrap her "gift", I really think she should. Is that the same monk who told Buffy about the kkey in the first place? Never did now his name. Great simply great.
Thank you for your continued support, I really appreciate it

its not every day that a monk shows up on your doorstep... well unless you live in a monastery... *blinks*
a monk with knowledge no less

Top chapter! Clanky know-all Angel is overdue a slapdown. I liked Spike's theory - I always thought the cruciameneum was bad form on Giles' part.
Thank you...I have to agree

Really insightful of Spike there
He has his moments
Delicia05/08/2006 03:38 pm
Great insight into Giles' thinking from Spike. Angelus did so much damage to all of them.
Yes he did...damage that he never said sorry for.

Neat way to weave in Dawn like associations like this with bits of explanation every now and then.
well I'm evil, so there's another explanation
Cassie04/14/2006 02:47 am
Buffy? or Spike?
You'll see
Elizabeth Anne Summers04/11/2006 04:05 am
Protector of the key? Which one? lol

Angel - eeeew!

Good talk between the group. Spike really has the insight on everybody, if they'd given him a chance to tell it. I really like stories where he has a chance to right the wrongs Angelus caused.

Ah, very nice to see the monks coming before Glory is around. Advance notice, and all that.
Thanks soooo much for your review

Great chapter. Angel is so full of himself it is annoying. Of course he would think Buffy is dreaming about him. I can't wait to read what will happen next.
be prepared to be annoyed by Angel for a while! lol
MARGARET04/04/2006 10:22 am
OOOHHH, THE PLOT THICKENS, I'M LOVING THIS STORY
Thank yuo so much, I love to hear that!
MarzBar04/04/2006 10:11 am
Brother Luthor?? Yay for keeping the Wankers' Council as far away as possible.
I thought things were complicated enough for the moment! lol
Irina04/04/2006 09:40 am
Spike really hit the nail on the head about the Angelus situation. I liked the new development at the end of the chapter. Fantastic update!
Thank you so much
letitia04/04/2006 09:14 am
Love the update. I so can't wait for more and what in the world does Angel think he is going to be able to convince anyone of. He is so out of his element here.
he is in a world of his own!
Karyn04/04/2006 09:14 am
ohhhh, great chapter, great explanation on why Giles did the ritual! and giggles over Joyce teasing about the 'gift'
lol...liked that did ya?? Heehee
Shadow04/04/2006 08:53 am
*grin* hope Angel is waiting till hell freezes over... the egotistical jerk.

Kudos to Spike for the whole "Angelus changed you" speech and Giles being horrified of that damned ritual (which is nothing short of pre-meditated murder)

And the monks arrive in disquise!

Great Chapter Babe. Keep going!
thanks sweetie...you too! lol

Man, they just can't get five minutes to breathe, can they? Try to change their world for the better and the cosmos starts throwing everything it can at them!

Then there is the reigning king of self-delusion. Can't he just trip and fall, accidentally dusting himself with a coctail umbrella? I mean, really, Angel! Grab a mitt and catch a clue! Hair gel, model glue and paintchips were not designed for freebasing!
still laughing!

ROFL...I am at a loss on how to comment to this...I am laughing too hard!
just sue04/04/2006 07:58 am
Scrummy chapter, hun. Every time you bring Angel in my teeth clench - my dentist is not gonna be happy with me!

And now Brother Luther has come to see... Wow! That's gonna blow poor Giles' mind even more. Thanks ever so and so looking forward to more.
Thank you soooo much...Giles isn't the only one...my head feels like its gonna explode too! lol
Kat04/04/2006 07:48 am
oh wow wasnt really expecting that one. hmmmm
me either...I blame the bunnies!
Pin04/04/2006 06:41 am
Great Chapter! Everything is so contorted - and I love Buffy's new memories of ramance with Spike. Looking forward to finding out what Joyce meant by Buffy's Gift. Love your portrayal of Angel!
The comment about the gift was in reference to Buffy's comment inthe previous chapter...when she complained that younger Buffy thought that Spike was a gift sent to her from the Powers and that she could 'get her own damn gift'.
Harry 4Eyes04/04/2006 06:35 am
You know it's amazing how if you look at things a certain way you can blame every bad thng that happened on Angel(us). For example you could argue that the reason the first was such a major foe in season 7 was because Angelus had opened the gates of hell in season 2, and then the powers had further weakened the dimensional walls when they let Angel out from Hell. And when TPTB again stepped in stopping him from dusting himself, the first was major pissed and had a few years to spew on it and that is why when it had it's next chance it was so formidable and vindictive because he was allowed to spew and plan for the next three years his next step. So if he was never allowed a chance first time he would have been easier to defeat second time.

So Angel is still waiting in the library for Giles, why would Giles be in the library on Saturday anyway? Just because he has no life he can't expect no one else to have one either...lousy git. Would be brilliant if he had to wait there all day, or better still gtes caught be security and has to make a run for it in the morning sun, which would not only be amusing to read, also painful for Angelus .

Loved the comment from Joyce, poor Buffy didn't even realise she put claim on Spike.

Cool Protector of the Key, why do I get the feeling he's talking about Spike not Buffy? Probably too many fics where Spike is referred to as the Protector of the Key!!!!..lol Should be interesting to hear what he says.

right well loved the update, now i'm going to see if I can actually finish writing a reply for the other fic.
Update Soon
Harry
bless you Harry...just...bless you!

Thank you for another fabulous update. Spike’s explanation of why Giles would put Buffy through the Cruciamentum makes a lot of sense, Angelus’s return did change everyone and it wasn’t necessarily for the better. I really like that Joyce was there when Spike kissed Buffy and that she spoke up at the perfect moment so that Buffy was not able to go into her usual diatribe and hurt Spike. I love that Angel is waiting for Giles at the library certain that he is going to be there at any moment, and the ending with Brother Luther showing up, I am really looking forward to where it goes.
me too...damn bunnies! lol
pretty_in-fangs04/04/2006 06:22 am
Mmmm... kisses... And there was some other story after that, too, I think. ;)
I have no idea...I'm still on the kisses too!
angelivia04/04/2006 05:43 am
I love that story... The suspens is killing me !! ;) Please go on...
Soon...I promise!
