Heh, love the 'sacrificing' part, and the fact all they wanted was fiction. Nice ending, very simple. Sometimes less drama is best.

Thanks. Surprised (and pleased) you read it so quick! This one was a bit torturous getting to the end, so I'm glad it works. I know there are a few blanks, but they are part of Xander's story, not Giles' so they didn't belong here. I am in the process of writing it now though, so hopefully it won't be as long coming as this was!

great story.what i can't get is how ripper allowed himself to bring (egon?) or what ever the the demons name was.

Yeah, that is a slight sticking point I admit. I will deal with it in another story though, separate to this arc. The idea is that the series will build a picture of Rwpyrt as it grows.

Thanks for your feedback. :)

I think you're voicing Methos really well. I love the punches traded between 'em. Hm, I'm gonna have to look back to see why Buffy wouldn't understand...yay for reading of fic!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it.

Giles is thinking that Buffy would see him hiding his identity from her as a serious betrayal of trust. I'm not saying that she would think that, but that's what Giles thinks. I like to think she would be mature enough to understand, after all they've all kept secrets in the past, but I think part of Giles is a little afraid that she might view him as another monster.
Er I hope that makes sense.

Anyway, thanks for reading and rating. *happy dance*

cool

Thank you :)

*imagines those 3*brain dies* Anywho. Cool little flashback and nice way to kick Xander off the trail.

I hope you've recovered from your brain death. And I'm very glad you enjoyed. *bounces*
This was fun to write, so I have a feeling we may be seeing more of Byron in the future (well, technically the past as he'll be in a flashback *g*).

Wandering around and came across this. Hopefully there is much more to come, so I set up tracking.

No I just have to go read the other stories.

Love the Darius flashback, especially the different take on Kronos. It's a What? Whats are -way- better than whos!

Thanks, I love writing Darius, hopefully I'll write at least one more flashback to him at some point in this series, though possibly not until this plotline plays out. The take on Kronos is not my invention sadly, I got it from Spiritus Sancti, part of fides amazing creation the Watcherverse over on LJ.
It is such a great idea though isn't it? That Kronos was once like Duncan and that Mac might have gone the same way if he hadn't had strong friends. I also think it explains Methos' motivation in that arc, why he was so desperate to save Mac, acting against his usual urge for self-preservation, because he didn't want to see another good guy go Dark Side.

Thanks for adding to this story.

An interesting twist on the Highlander immortal connection to the Buffy-verse. That would of course mean that Giles was bull--ing them when he talked about the Watcher Village and his matrilinial heritage.

Cos Giles has never lied about his past has he? *grin*

Good read and looking forward to the next part soon please!

Ta muchly. It's on my to do list, promise. :)
