This is a good story.

DAMN...

Now THAT was good.

Joyce’s reaction and thoughts on Buffy’s status as the Slayer and her subsequent return were VERY well-presented, making it easy to follow WHY she preferred living in denial to facing the truth about her daughter (Even if at the same time nobody could entirely APPROVE of what Joyce was doing to try and ‘cope’ with what she’d seen, we still understood WHY she was doing it)

Your take on Buffy and Angel after their time in Hell continues to be interesting, with Buffy trying to adapt to the modern world almost as much as Angel is, made even more awkward by her ‘not-quite-human’ status...

And as for your presentation of Xander...

Thank GOD; after so long reading stories where Xander’s some kind of demon-busting machine and tactical whiz, it’s a relief to read a story which recognises that he’s essentially a flawed teenager with serious long-term-planning-related issues and a jealousy streak several miles long.

He CAN be capable of noble actions, I admit, but he SUCKS in terms of long-term thinking; even if his decision to lie about Willow attempting to restore Angel’s soul meant that Buffy was pushing herself to the max to fight Angelus, I remain convinced that Xander’s sole reason for omitting that was because he didn’t like Angel.

However, my favourite scene in this part was unquestionably the part where Buffy and Angel nearly triggered the clause; even when faced with a chance to escape HELL, Angel refuses to leave Buffy alone to face the nightmare of his demon...

Keep up the great work!

You should add angist to the story desritons list. Well, thanks for writing this, bye for now.

I was actually wondering who had sent those vamps, and why they were so afraid of revealing his name, even more so than dieing themselves. Guess I know now.

I wonder how everything's going to be from now on. With Faith, the Mayor, the Council, and really everything and everyone. Things are certainly quite different from the original version of this season. And I can't wait to see what comes next...

great story, for the most part. only quibble is the conversation between Will and Xander. Willow just didn't sound anything like Willow. The whole conversation was a little heavy-handed as well.

Other than that, this was an awesome fic.

Wow this is a great series. You've made the characters so close to canon, it's scary. Buffy as a blood moll is great. I'm really loving how you're handling Joyce and Xander. This is the same mother that put Buffy in a mental institution before Sunnydale, so great job. You've made Xander a suffering lovesick fool, but not an $$hole and that's hard to do. Great job!

Wow. Thats it! Keep writing. UPDATE!

Wow...this is all I can say. So far Ive read this story and the first from the series, but I had to stop just to say- wow.

Its a very well written story that commands the readers attention all the way through.

Keep writing as well as you do!

I love this story. It's so good. Not to mention I love B/A fics. But this is REALLY GOOD B/A! lol. Can't wait to read part three! (even tho i can read it right now, lol)

Awesome. Great job!

DM

I have ONE thing to say: MOOOOOOOOOOOORE! Please! OMG this was sooooo good! You gotta continue!

Pleaaase more and soon! I'm hooked on your fics. Gimme my fix! ;)

Loved it!

amazing writer yup one bone to pick

'Angel didn’t stop his pounding of the bag, throwing punches without slowing down. Most of him was covered in sweat, his unruly hair sticking to his face in wet strands. Willow quickly suppressed the tingle of excitement that went through her upon seeing him like this. Her crush on Xander was long past. She had Oz now.'

Angel needs to be switched to Xander. But other then that you are absolutly mind numbingly good at writing :)

This story was just as amazing as the first of this "series" was. I hope you continue to write more! Great character insight and development.
