Stumbled on this one, and glad I did. Very unique. If you do anymore stories set in this Universe, I'd love to see Willow's take on Luna.

About halfway through reading this one, I decided to check out the first story. Very... different from this one. :)

What a great sequel!

I totally enjoyed this. It was both wonderfully imaginative and weirdly reassuring. Thank you!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, and I appreciate your taking the time to review. That story was fun to write.

excellent! thank you.

You are most welcome, and I do really appreciate your reading and reviewing.

Good explanation about Lupada. And the ending had me rolling. Had to read that last part twice before I really got it. Very nice indeed. Write something else. (please?)(also I really like Angel stories - Angel and just about anybody, just so long as Angel is there.)

Thank you for wading through this and for commenting, and I'm happy that you enjoyed it. There are a couple of kind of crack!fic oneshots that came after this that I'll probably put up. I don't have any more Buffy crossover series done, but I do like this cast and will likely revisit it at some point. I have a couple Buffy (no Angel, sadly) series on ff.net under the name ljlash.larue. Most of my things are on LJ, and are mostly Harry Potter femmeslash.

Thanks again for your kind words.

Wow I thought maybe Luna was her sister at the most but mother that was a shock. Very nice.

Thank you, I'm glad you didn't see that coming. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and thank you for reading.

So, is Ada happy as Lupada (nice combination of lup(wolf)and ada(our girl)) or am I way off base. And is Esprit de Coeur the spirit of our favorite Warg or someone/thing else?

Yes, that's sort of her, she is addressed in the epilog as well.

And Spirit is indeed a scion of Lupa, he even has the mark, as does Lupada. I do appreciate your reading and commenting, thank you very much.

very, very good read. thank you.

Thank you for reviewing, I do appreciate it, and I am pleased that you enjoyed the story.

As always, another fine chapter. I liked Illyria's generous gift to Angel and Spike. And appreciated the dig at the Twilight stories (which I can't stand.)

My thanks once again, and not least for getting the Twilight dig. I do wish I'd thought of it though, with that kind of money you could bring back Firefly.

very good read, thank you. hope luna is not being literal with the last line.

Luna is something quite apart from the rest of us.

I really do appreciate your following this storty.

Only Spike could condense all of that like a Reader's Digest book and spout off an abridged version that makes sense to everyone.

Ada may be gone, but there is gone and then there is "GONE." Not always the same things.

Once again, you cut to the heart of the thing. Or perhaps by now you simply know to suspect me?

Spike does have a way of cutting to the chase, he is perhaps my favorite BtVS character, so many layers.

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

enjoyed the chapter and loved the possible one. thank you.

You're quite welcome, and I'm glad you liked the alternate. Darker than I usually like to do, but I did think it was a plausible outcome.

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I have a feeling the Oz man would be very popular with orcs.

I hadn't thought of that, but you are undoubtedly correct. Should there be a sequel, Oz will surely have a part. Thanks for the bunny!

Have you ever noticed how boring aftermaths are. Not your story,of course, just aftermaths in general. The battle is so tense - will the good guys win, will the bad guys get in one last blow that turns it into a Phyric victory for the good guys?

Still, a wandering Spike with access to a wet bar has possibilities.

I certainly have, and speaking as a writer, I always feel a bit of a letdown once the final shoe has dropped, so to speak. I try and keep a shoe or two in reserve, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't so much.

I do thank you for sticking with this story, I appreciate it.

The song is not Black Sabbath; "Crazy Train" is from Ozzy's solo career.

My thanks, I'm not familiar with them really, I looked it up online. I'll correct it.

Not to be picky or anything, but you have an interesting idea of what a joke is. Should be funny or punny if nothing else. Still...

Yeah, sometimes I scare myself.
