| Thank you dear for the explanation of why Dru kept her soul. I knew I knew the reason! Lovely explanation and I loved how Angel was cursed with his father's soul. Nice detail. Xander seems to be rather excessive in his attitude but it is fun to see that part of his character put on display. Exploring the side which is bogoted and vindictive is always intriguing and interesting. |
I see the potential for Xander's character to become many different things, I think that's why I like writting him...he keeps surprising me  |

Willow and her stupid "need" to "fix" things. {growls}
Xander ... I agree with Giles. Xander is an insufferable prat.
Way to go Buffy and Anya in this one. The way Spike emerged towards the end was great. I loved every chapter of this, and now I get to leave you nice long winded reviews for you to read later too. {giggles} |
thank you, your reviews give me a great deal of joy  |

| Spike won't be pleased; but cute when William spilled that Spike loves Buffy. (But what about William? What does he feel?) So William is human now and will stay this way. Just more or less sane, depending on his demons' survival. And Xander is really a pain here. I wonder how long Anya will take the way he acts. Thanks for now Ripper threw him out. :-D Angelus coming for Spike? But not to help him so that's bad. Willow wants to fix things? Well that didn't go so well in the past. |
| William is not just a human...there is more to him than that |
| VWalk | 07/18/2006 04:57 pm |
So Willow is getting ready to do something stupid that will probably make things worse. I'm so scared for William. I really like your characterization of him... and the brief glimpse of Spike was great. I'm also enjoying Anyah - I can totally see Xander (boo! hiss!) saying something like he "can't" be with Buffy so he's with her - to her.
I'm loving the story so far. Can't wait to see what happens next. |
| Thank you for your continued support |

| Thank you |

| Wonderful, wonderful story. I hope you have many ideas for the future of this tale. William human and Spike trapped inside. Don't know who the bigger villian in this story will be...Xander or Angel. Excellent read. |
| Thank you very kindly |
| vladt | 07/05/2006 04:36 pm |
| wonderful read. xander at his best. i am surprised there was enough space in the room for both xander's and red's egos. thanks for the fine read. |
| Surprising wasn't it! |
| Robyn | 07/05/2006 12:31 am |
| I really love how Giles, Buffy, and Anya stood up to Xander and how Giles and Buffy commented on his behavior. When I read the last couple of lines my heart just dropped, Willow wanting to fix things again. |
| Yes but dont' lose heart yet |
| Tamara | 07/04/2006 07:15 pm |
Yay for Giles for telling Xander off and for Anya fot not giving in to his tatics.
Uhoh, Angel's coming and Willow is trying to "fix" things. Neither one sounds good. |
| No they don't do they |
| slaymesoftly | 07/04/2006 06:57 pm |
| Oh oh - Willow wanting to "fix" things - nothing good can come of this! LOL |
| nope...really can't |
| Spikes Slayer2 | 07/04/2006 06:23 pm |
| oh my.. thats amazing! and damn willow and her "need to fix" things.. |
| YUP...Willow is Willow |
| Karyn | 07/04/2006 05:21 pm |
| awesome jack!! go giles!!! ugh, willow just won't learn...sigh |
| Maybe she will...maybe |
| kim | 07/04/2006 03:55 pm |
Oh, dear, oh, my...
So that's the character death I suspected - William's demon, in that he'll never be "Spike" again? Or is that too easy and you have surprises still in store?
Buffy's brain go 'buzz, tilt'. |
| I like to surprise |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | 07/04/2006 03:26 pm |
| Stupid Willow! Don't you dare do a thing!! Someone maim her and stop her!!! |
| watch and learn I'm evil. |
| HPfan | 07/04/2006 03:24 pm |
| Thank you, thank you, thank you for a fantastic new chapter. Hate that Xander's being such a jerk. Hope he comes around. Giles' reaction was surprising, but welcome. Always knew he was an intelligent man. Angel's coming to get in on the act can't be good. Can't wait to see what happens when he arrives on the scene. Okay, Willow's reaction is troubling. She's always cast spell first, think later, and then deny all responsibility. Can I be a demanding little reader now and beg to you to update sooon, please, please, please! |
| Yes you can demand |
| neo_trinityknot | 07/04/2006 03:01 pm |
| Just like Willow to do something and make things worse |
| oh yeah! |
| Ella | 07/04/2006 02:39 pm |
aww, he loves her!
hope to see an update soon... |
| Sooner than you thnk |
| Richard | 07/04/2006 02:34 pm |
Woo hoo, talk about spectacular. Hope you have something equally spectacular planned for Willow.
I LOVE how you point out the absurdities in the (canon) characters. You don't parody them, you reveal them for the parodies they are, without turning the story into a parody. It's a real gift. |
| Thank you, I always appreciate kind words. |
| Lou | 07/04/2006 02:07 pm |
| Phew! I don't think I've ever read a better Xander putdown - richly deserved. He was so nasty! |
| LOL, I think I've taken Xander to new places |
| slinkyPK | 07/04/2006 02:03 pm |
Willow fought back tears as she watched. She knew deep down that this was all her fault and felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. She had to fix this.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Will the not-quite-bright Wicca never learn?
Like the new fic, Jack. Pretty cool so far! |
| Thank you...and maybe |
| duke6665 | 07/04/2006 01:43 pm |
| great chapter.. hope willow doesnt mess things up to bad lol |
| Thank you and we'll see |
| golddrake | 07/04/2006 01:18 pm |
| great chapter |
| Thank you |
| Delicia | 07/04/2006 01:09 pm |
| Well done! I love the premise of this story a lot! The exposition in this chapter was very unique and informative, I am enjoying myself. Xander is certainly being an ass. I'm glad Buffy put him in his place. Thanks! |
| I like the Giles did! lol |
| letitia | 07/04/2006 12:10 pm |
| oh my. LOVED Anya in this chapter. I am just glad that finally someone put Xander in his place. Of course he is not going to listen. Can't wait to see William in all of his glory.... Wonder what Willow is up to. She just can't leave well enough alone. She never learns. |
| maybe she will??? |
| Dar | 07/04/2006 11:47 am |
| AWESOMW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| thank you |
| MarzBar | 07/04/2006 11:20 am |
| Woohoo! What a beginning! Nice Xander bashing early in the tale and lots of mystery about what may happen to Spike. More story please. |
| Soon, I promise |
| DizzyB | 07/04/2006 11:13 am |
| Love this story! Just found it and can't wait for more. Thought it was an appropriate find for Independence Day. |
| Thank you...I will try to be quick with the updates. |
| Emilee | 07/04/2006 11:09 am |
| Nice start, you certainly have me intrigued. I noticed a character death warning. Please tell me you're not planning on killing off Spike are you? And I do mean all parts of the whole. You don't really like Xander, or come to think of it, Willow either do you? They never really come out in a flattering light in your stories. But that's okay, because there really wasn't much to flatter them with in the show. Can't wait to read more. |
| Actually sometimes Xander is a good guy in my stories. Willow too. |
| Harry 4Eyes | 07/04/2006 11:03 am |
And here I was thinking after Paradox and Penny you were getting soft on us Jackers, but here you go once again with the Kick Xander club once again. It's odd I actually find the vindictive hell bent on some misguided revenge Xander closer to cannon than accepting Xander.
Willow always confuses me, she's sweet kid but also a quick fix Willow and not really learn from mistakes Willow so it can go really any place with her. Hasn't anyone told her that owning up and making sure you don't do anything similar is more appreciated than hiding and supergluing everything and hope no one notices. Kind of like little kids who accidently broke her mums favourite vase like that.
I seriously hope she doesn't try to fix things she'll probably end up messing things up much worse than ever before.
Cool so Spike is now kinda like the Slayer, Perfect for her, exactly what Angel wanted for her, someone Human who she doesn't have to worry about when she's on patrol....Won't Angel be pleased...lol
So Lawson actually made an appereance on Angel season 5? Did he have a soul on that one? or was it something you added.
Poor Sod, does that mean it was really Angels father who used his sons body to sleep with her? because that is seriously twisted...lol
Well can't wait to read more...good luck with the updates of three fics and the co-write you are doing.
Loving it
Update Soon

| Lawson asked Angel if he had a soul and Angel said 'I don't think it works that way'. There was no definative answer. But then Angel never mentioned Spike's soul. Lawson was an intrigueing character. |
| Bigbird | 07/04/2006 10:53 am |
| Yeah Xander kicked to the curb!! I love it, now if we get a little Angel bashing in the next chapter and some Willow slapping as well I will doing my *happy dance* all night!! Well done! |
| Hmmmm...well lets see what the bunnies say |
| Pin1 | 07/04/2006 10:36 am |
| Yeah - crazy, vindictive Xander is gone! Great chapter and I love Anya's insights and truths. Great story. |
| Thank you, I've always liked Anya |
| Irina | 07/04/2006 10:07 am |
| Whoa! Xander was an absolute jerk in this chapter, i'm glad Giles tossed him out of his home. Nice touch having Buffy make the hyena remark to Xander. Anya was certainly chock full of useful information, I did feel kinda bad for William when she exposed his dark past with Angelus though. Can't wait to find out what happens next. Great chapter! |
| Thank you so much |
| jl1980 | 07/04/2006 10:01 am |
| wow...that last sentence is a bit scary..no more magic, will, please...i'm glad xander got kicked out, i was cheering for giles poor spike...this was an excellent update...i can't wait for your next one |
| I promise you won't have to wait long |
| DeanSamWinchesterfan | 07/04/2006 10:00 am |
| Good story so far.Update soon.Bad Xander!I love that almost everyone in the Aurelius line have souls. |
| LOL...I hadn't thought of that! |
| Pam S | 07/04/2006 09:31 am |
Boy, this Xander is a pain.
Enjoying the story. |
| Thank you so much |
| redwulf50 | 07/04/2006 09:23 am |
| hmmmmm, can we kill Xander yet?? |
Well you can, but that would mean you have to actually write something!  |
| deedo | 07/04/2006 09:22 am |
I already love this story, Jack!  Great work and although it's a bit angstier (is that an actual word?) than your others, I enjoy reading it immensely!
I can't say I'll miss Xander and I'm really glad Anya will be treated better from now on.
I'm looking forward to read more |
| It is a bit 'angstier' thank normal, but a change is as good as a holiday. |
| Isabel | 07/04/2006 09:15 am |
| OK, whenever Willow says words like "I have to fix this" I start to sweat a little. I'm a little worried about what Xander will do too. But the boy's a tool so whatever he comes up with, I'm not too worried. Glad to get a glimps of Ripper. I love Giles when he gets all angry and dangerous. Great story with a very interesting plot. |
| Thank you for your very kind words |
| DHP | 07/04/2006 09:10 am |
ohoh Willow's going to do something terribly stupid, isn't she?
Excellent update. I really like the way you portray Anya. They should have used her knowledge about demons way more in the show. |
| She's Willow...what can I say! |
