Glad to see Lilah's vengeance work so well! LMAO  I particularly like that the Senior Partners were also affected.  & I can't wait to see what trouble Angel & Cordy get into on Pylea...especially since Fred isn't there to be rescued.  Hope we see a li'l Wes & Fred while we're @ it.  Good that Egyhon's out of the way, now Spuffy can concentrate on their relationship amidst the slaying.

Yay!! Soul-binding ceremony!  & I liked how happy Hassib was as he performed the ceremony (even if he was distracted momentarily). :D  Jennifer, the assistant, cracked me up!  Can't wait to see the Order of Taraka in Sunnydale w/ Spuffy on the same side!  That'll be good. :)  Great chappie!

Ooh!  I like Cordelia verbally giving up Spike...also love how pissed off she is at Angel (& that Angel isn't too pleased either).  Oh Drusilla...I'd feel badly for you, but you brought this all upon your head.  I really liked seeing the original spell performed by ClaraDru...and that William didn't give her a chance to be with him in that life.  LOVED the Spuffy...especially him taking her to the skating rink.  So cute!  & Kendra!  Wasn't sure if we'd see her in this fic, but I'm glad she is.  Oh yeah, the Tarakan assassin who saw his own death?  Brilliant!  Excellent chappie. :D

I really like how everyone works together in this fic.  Especially Joyce contacting Giles (trying to get a hold of Buffy) regarding bug dude & Xander & Kendra checking it out instead of Cordelia.  & oh geez, Cordy is still seen as royalty in Pylea?  Hopefully she handles it better than she has anything else in this story. LOL  Oh & I liked that Kendra was still introduced in the same way as canon.  Great update, can't wait to see what happens next!

Oh Angel, will you ever learn?  Glad to see Cordelia landed on her feet (for now).  & I loved the Sunnydale police being helpful for once!  That was fantastic.  Also, I enjoyed seeing/hearing about some of Buffy's neighbors.  Great chapter!

Wonderful update!  I loved that the most powerful reversal spell ever made W&H disappear from the dimension.  That made me laugh.  As did the men still not having their dicks.  Xander & Kendra are kind of adorable.  Okay, not just kinda, they are adorable.  I liked Xander reassuring Kendra of her worth & Kendra trying to return the favor by reassuring him that his friends are okay.  & Ted doesn't stand a chance against Buffy AND Spike, & neither does Buggy the Salesman. :D  Again, great chapter!

Great chapter!  I love the idea of Bug Man and Ted in a duel (of sorts).  Hee!  And Cordy on a quest is.Too much fun.

Uh-oh!  Did Lyle's brother come for revenge?  Loved Joyce dragging Dalton along for her shopping excursion while Spike handled the vamp.  And I love the inclusion of the new principal (and VP as her Watcher).  Great chapter!



Author's Response:

Go back a few chapters to the last thing Drusilla was up to.

Of course Cordy would meet a dragon priestess while in a different dimension!  LOL. Loved the bit of Spuffy, maybe the glow enveloping them signifies the end of the curse/reincarnation loop for sure?  Can't wait to find out!  Oh and I like that Oz now knows a little about Sunnydale's nightlife.  Great update.

Ooh, a Spanish life!  I hope we get more than that brief glimpse.  I'm liking Cordelia on her quest and Angel not having a clue.  Maybe he could have rescued Nina?  Or even Jonathan, since he had some magic--I can see him saying the wrong incantation and being sucked into a portal.  Dru is gearing up to be a bit of a problem, but I'm sure Spuffy can handle her.  Great update!

I really liked seeing Cordelia using her brain and the last riddler being ready for a change.  Great job with Faith killing Angel…that made me chuckle.  And I hope Zabuto doesn't try to call the Council or forbid Kendra to interact with the Scoobies.  Wonderful update!

Aww…date night/Valentine's day in Sunnydale!  I love that Buffy wants to be sure that Dalton gets someone worthy of him and not evil.  And I enjoyed the guys becoming vengeance demons…particularly the types.  And so no Illyria?  Now that Knox is out of th picture, I mean.  And good luck to Cordy as queen, as long as she stays in Pylea, she should be good.

Ripper!!! Loving his plan to have the adults get rid of Dru, but I also love that Buffy figured it out.  But now she's sick…Der Kinderstod or something else?  And it looks like Cordelia and company have a plan (& Amy).  Great update!

Spike refusing to fail Buffy again gave me the feels.  Love that he senses something's up at the hospital.  And bye Dru, glad that threat is gone even if it means Anne is as well.  And I liked everyone pairing up to get a little nosh.

They made it back!  Ha!  At least Amy got rid of W&H before returning home.  And I LOVED that Halfrek was bored because no one cared or was scared of or about her.  Double ha!  Wonderful story!

First of all, I've been seriously jonesing for a new chappie of this fic, so THANK YOU!!!!  Now, on to the rest of the review:

LOVED it!!  I'm more than a little worried about Xander & Warren becoming drinking buddies, & I hope Buffy's right & traveling to LA keeps Tara from dying.  Loved the Fred/Gunn introduction, & the way Buffy immediately took control--really loved her willingness to include Wesley, despite the problems they had when he came to be her Watcher.  & I really liked Buffy's apology to everyone, especially Spike...I like the reflective nature of this--and not just w/ Buffy...I really liked that the girls realized the pressure they put on her.  Hmm, wonder what the poor appetite & nightmares could mean?  Or do they mean anything except it's really poopy to be back after being in heaven?  I look forward to finding out.  & I really adored the Buffy/Giles convo about the FE...& I enjoyed Giles' reaction to Spuffy the most!  "He's your son."  I'm guessing it's a Tabula Rasa reference, but it'd be funny if they were related...great-great uncle Spike perhaps? LOL  Fantastic chappie, can't wait for more of this one!

Bwahahaha!  That end was fantastic!  Can't wait for Xander & Warren to see how it is when the shoe's on the other foot. :D  & I really enjoyed the underwater Angel POV (especially how he "might" put aside his differences).  & I liked how authoritative Buffy's being in this story--she knows she has a lot to do & not a lot of time, very nice General Buffy, imo!  & I'm glad she plans on keeping Giles from betraying her.  Oh & I especially love that both Buffy & Giles have niggling feelings that there's something they aren't remembering--are they the same thing?  That would be interesting for a possible Watcher/Slayer bond...I also liked that Giles recognized that Buffy isn't violent for violence's sake & that he may have been wrong to leave her.  Love me some Reggie from your stories, so I can't wait to see what role he plays.   Oh & super YAY for Wesley!  I've relly looked forward to seeing him in this story, I'm a little sad that it was only a hint, but I can't wait for more...so glad that Buffy is fixing AI a little while they search for Angel--really liked Tara giving Wesley some comfort too...I love when she's all magical. :D  Fantabulous chappie, I hope to see more very soon! :P

Bwahahahahaaaaaaa!!!  Love that it was Anya who changed the boys...& I really adored her plans for Xander.  Seriously, I had to stop reading for about 5 minutes b/c I was laughing so hard (my bf was giving me some weird looks). LOL  & I really liked the Reggie/Giles stuff.  Reggie was so excited!!  That was a great reaction. & ooh, Willow & Tara in a threesome w/ Wes instead of Oz?  Quite interesting...does this mean Oz will be for Dawn?  I can't wait to see how this threesome gets together & makes things work--especially liked Wes running his finger down Willow's arm to see if he had the same reaction as w/ Tara.  & I lurved the convo @ Wes' apartment...Lord Jamison was not pleased. :P  Great update, looking forward to more!!

Aww...mean cliffie!  I wanted to see what Anya & Buffy discussed! LOL  Fantastic chappie!!  I really loved seeing Willow & Tara reconnect, as well as Spuffy--hope the latter mate soon!  & yay for Reggie!  Great explanation about the prophecies & how the "Slayer Sultana" one disappeared w/ Buffy's death.  & I loved Lawson's POV, can't wait to see him in the mix.  Oh & I liked that Tara was upfront about the Wesley stuff & realistic w/ Willow about her magic.  More soon pretty please!  Oh, & I hope you have a wonderful new year! :)

Ooh! You are soo mean w/ the cliffies!  Something told me I wouldn't get Lawson interacting w/ everyone this chappie, but I was still hopin'!  & it's funny...I totally JUST re-read this story a couple days ago, hoping for an update & here it is! :D I loved the meeting between Connor & Buffy--especially w/ her warning about Anya.  Methinks Connor may try to sneak aboard their li'l fishing vessel. (I can't see him trying to sink it & killing humans just to keep Angel @ the bottom of the ocean.)  & we get Groo too?  Interesting that he's immediately crushing on Dawn a bit, guess he has a thing for brunettes. :D  Oh & I loved seeing what Warren & Xander were up to in their new girl guises.  Loved that Xander's meeting contained some demons--& the donut part was hilarious! LOL  Oh & Anya telling Buffy not to hurt Spike anymore was fantastic--demons gotta stick together! :)  Fantastic chappie, more soon please!

Ooh!  Is Anya gonna be Buffy's seer?  Or are the Powers just using her for the time being?  Can't wait to find out!  ADORED Travers' reaction to Giles & Reggie's news, will we actually see him @ some point?  Wouldn't mind that since he's being useful for once.  & Anya's comment about maternity...methinks we'll get to that sooner rather than later. LOL  Dawn & Buffy are bigger demon magnets than Xander! Hee!  & oh Connor!  You will learn, dude...you will learn.  Great chappie!  I so adore the IG series & this is shaping up to be one of my fave stories. :D

Yay for Anya!! I just adore her!  Fantastic chappie, by the way.  I really like that Anya's the first "official" helper for the Immortal Guardians, can't wait for Giles & Reggie to get to the Hyperion! I bet the five of them will have scads to talk about. :D  I really enjoyed the way Buffy chose to deal with their stalker...Connor's in for a rude awakening when he realizes all the lies he's been told.  & I'm happy to see more Lawson!  Hee!  Oh yeah, I liked the little "drop in the bucket" interplay between Wes & Spike...made me giggle. :)

Hee hee hee!  Warren's getting a little deserved vengeance! LOL  Freakin loved this chapter, absolutely terrific!  What I loved the most: Anya feeling useful & a part of the group...I think that is so important for her (AND Tara) because they may feel only welcome because of their significant others.  & I really liked that it's Anya with the info on the Immortal Guardians.  Also liked that Cordelia contacted Faith...I guess Spuffy have another rescue mission once they retrieve Angel!  & I liked Buffy asking about mating links...& the difference between them & familial links.  More soon please!

Reviewer: clarityfades Signed

Great update!  Love that Faith was giving the side-eye at Gunn & Fred's overwhelming support for Angel--despite a prophecy.  Maybe when Angel returns, he'll have seen some sense & recognize what Wes did wasn't all bad--and set those two straight on his own.  & I almost feel sorry for Xander & his "female problems". LOL  I'm sure Anya will understand, but he may have to take some "punishment" first. :D  But I'm not feeling bad for Warren at all.  Aww...Spike made sure to talk to Buffy about mating!  Hope we get to see them claiming each other once this rescue is over.

Wonderful chapter!  I hope Warren has learned his lesson & doesn't try to mess with the Scoobies again.  & I think Xander has learned a thing or two about how he treats Anya; can't wait to hear what she has to say about his latest predicament. LOL  LOVED Buffy calling Angel "Peaches", can I hope she says it to his face (at least once, please!)?  Ha!  I also loved Spike wanting to get with the mating already.  (Glad Anya explained the Immortal Guardian stuff to them a bit so they knew what was going on.) & I appreciated both Faith & Pete sticking up for Wes...maybe eventually Gunn & Fred will come around.  Especially if Angel can get his head out of his butt once he's rescued & see that Wes had no malicious intent.  Poor Giles!  Those long legs had to be cramped flying from London!  At least he & Reggie are almost to their destination & we can see what the W&H book says about everything (once they retrieve it).  More soon, pretty please!
