Brilliant story! take 5******

very well written.

Well, Well, Well. You did it again. :) I've been reading this for hours, heh, I need a life.. but, again, amazing work. I love what you did with it. Let me know if you've got original fanfiction, I'd love to read it. You've got a wonderful imagination, and your stories are great!

I am so happy..a hapy ending. I was expecting tradegy and death but happeness is just...better i love the story much.

Fairly well developed story you have here, what with a second major threat surfacing against the gang (and that's assuming that there really isn't a fire demon/shadow demon gang war going on). I look forward to getting time to continue reading.

I particularly like the way you delve into Amy's character, explaining some of her motivation in joining Rack's group and in seeking to have Willow follow her. Portrayed not simply as some vicious temptress but as a woman who craves to belong somewhere, even if that somewhere is bad, makes her a more sympathetic character. I've always been a fan of the shdes of gray produced by sympathetic villains (though not that she's necessarily a villain, per se).

Well, season's over so I can read this story again without worrying about any spoilers you may or may not have included. Of course, looking at a chapter like this is sorta weird, since it's comparable to mid-season events (and the characters have come rather far since then), but I certainly liked it nonetheless. The setting of Christmas Eve, a big time for relaxed socializing, is a great choice for a setting that cranks up the tension between Buffy and Spike as she decides to tell Dawn, who also finds out on her own. The scene certainly works quite well.

finally had time to read the end and wasnt disappointed. great story!
