Yeah an update! more please :)

Nice update if short - though I don't know how much more you could have
done until you see where Joss is heading in the comic for this arc.

Not much of a Kennedy fan either but I too found that a little sad.

Are you planning on including that little Buffy/Kennedy convo at slayer HQ and the
mysterious "date" that Buffy got all dressed up for in some way? Or do you want
to surprise us

Again, great update, thanks!

The Buffy/Kennedy convo? Probably not, because the reason Kennedy reacted that way is because in the comic Satsu and Buffy aren't together, and I think Kennedy thought Buffy might do a little "experimenting" with Willow because she's in a "lez-faux" phase. ;-)

The date? Once I know who it is, and what it was about so I can put my spin on it, probably, yeah.

While I'm not normally a Kennedy fan, even I found that brush off a bit sad. Hmm, yes, how are Buffy and Satsu gonna last a month, or maybe even longer? And how is Satsu gonna take the news of Buffy being send toward the future, if you do that arc, which I'm sure you will? I mean, yea, Satsu's a slayer and cool under pressure, but is this her first "my friend has gone off toward a strange place without warning" time?

Eek, can't wait for the next chapter!

Oh, I'm definitely going to address all that in Chapter Ten. ;0)

Buffy/Satsu catalyst for Willow/Kenndy trouble? Hmmm...Very interesting. As always well done, but more is requested, more!

Not so much a catalyst as a, "Look at what we used to have," thing. If you remember (all the way forever) back to Chapter Four, Buffy called Willow out on not being fully committed to Kennedy. This is just a continuation of that, and showing that Kennedy's no idiot.

Yea another update! Short, but still a good one. I'm so happy that you've come back to the story. I'm guessing you're planning on crossing over into Fray? Well, I hope you give us another update soon. Maybe some filler with a Buffy/Satsu convo or something like that.

Yeah, I'm trying to see what I can fit in around the comic. What I wanna do hinges heavily on what the (SPOILER) actually did damage wise to the (SPOILER).

Whoo Hoo!! Double PK day. Another great one, the cynical couple can stick it. Buffy and Satsu sound cute, and am I mistaken, or is Buffy drunk?

Buffy is not drunk. Just overly-excited. (Hint: Read the latest issue of the comic. :-)

Great update, PK. Wow, our little Buffy is growing up. I can't wait to see what shape she is in after a month of no Satsu lovins. Although, it'll probably end up with a chapter like this.

Well, the (short) next chapter should give you some idea. :-)

I love the relationship you've built between the two of them and how you've made Satsu a real person here.
Nice to see you've incorporated events from the comic storyline into your story which I'm sure isn't the
easiest thing to do with an on-going comic.
And bringing up Willow's "list" is a nice bonus.
Thanks again for continuing with this!

Thank you. :-) Yeah, the fact that it is an on-going comic is partly to blame for the long stretches between parts. I'll have a little more freedom Satsu-wise now that she's out of the picture in the comics, but I'm trying to work inside Joss' plot, still. Kills me that I don't have a voice to reference with Satsu, but I'm making do, I think...

Thanks for the update. It was a great one. Loved how you sticked close to the canon. Please give us another one soon.

I'll do my best. And yeah, I'm a canon-whore whenever possible. Okay, that sounded wrong...

Always worth the wait Patk, thanks for continuing this story - I love how you have written the charecters, all very true and you have there tone and wit down cold. Can't wait for the next installment.

Thanks. : )

Please come back and give us another update. ::hands out bribery cookies::

Well this was scary good timing. Now what's this about cookies? ;=)

Great Story so far, I am looking forward to the next update.

And four months later, it's here. Thanks. :-)

Awesome. I love this story.

Thanks. :-D Forgive the extreme delay.

Interesting that you brought Giles into the story because aren't they still estranged in the comics? I like that you made Buffy more assertive in defending her relationship. I've never understood why in the show everyone felt that her love life was any of their business. Or why it was okay for Xander or Willow to be in a relationship without anyone's approval, but Buffy needed to get the okay from the Scoobies. I also like how you made Buffy refuse to back down to Giles and his opinions on how to run things. I'm really excited to see what will happen next. Please update soon.

still like you....and this story...it's very interesting and engaging ;-)

Well, I hope you still like me now.....;-)
