VERY Scary! Spike! right before he was drugged (and why am I not surprised that Ethan knows how to cook Horse? Ove on the S'cubie board there was a conversation about what drugs Ethan and Ripper were likely experienced in, and H was top of my list). Very great relife at the end of the spell, although I can see the aftermath interfering with TYara and Xander communicating openly for a while.
And I like Angel getting a clue about who is living the more impeccable life.
Nice to see slightly off kilter Spike wanting to take care of his natural enemies (the potentials) always seemed odd that he didn't in cannon, love the way this has been written. The desperation from the family to keep Spike safe and get his memories sorted was tangible, Angels little chat was very nicely done, not all mushy but came across as real.
Absolutely adore the way you write Tara and it was an inspired way to deal with an out of control Spike, drug him using the stash they retrieved at the docks. Excellent.
Hehe. Yeah. You'd have thought he'd have gone for 'em. Probably that goofy SOUL... Thank you thank you! I'm glad Angel came over well - hard for me to write him fairly, i know. And *hugs Tara* she's just too cool. :)
This was such a good chapter - Spike and Angel are OK, Anya's having a baby and Tara made Spike better! I like happy endings - even if it just a chapter ending. Thank you.
So glad Angel and Spike are in a better place, relationship-wise. And happy ending to this chapter! Hurray for Tara, Ethan and Giles! So Ethan's misspent youth comes in handy -- or maybe I should say, misspent youth/middle-age? Not so sure when he stopped "spending!"
Loved Xander's face-to-face with Faith, her apology and his demonstration of what "pack" actually means. And Angel and his realization of family. *sniff* Your details are so well done, (although I've now got "The Needle and the Damage Done" stuck in my head, I'm very sucseptive to suggestion - hee!) And Tara getting the pack memories - I felt her blush. Great chapter!
This was such an incredible chapter. I love the way that you had Spike healed and the confrontation with Faith. I hope that Tara remains a part of the link and it would be cool for her to go back home with them and maybe take Fred along as well.
Brill as always, you minx you! How good was Faith? I loved her voice just so very good and her attitude was Faith to a tee- good job! Your depiction of Spike's madness was so chilling, scary and horrible--I loved it! Damn you do that wonderfully well! *schnoozles you* Thank you for giving Angel and Spike a bit of closure and leaving it open to better relationship *kicks ME really hard* also, thank you for the Anya-ism...Spawn! hee! I so want to get "Happy Spawning" cards for her ...
and Billie Holiday, proving once again we are twinz, born many years and many miles apart...
