Okay you are forgiven now. :) I'm all giddy that Tara's not dead woo hooo. And Wes killed the bastard, double woo hoo. Buffy will be okay physically if not mentally and here's to hoping Robin isn't too fucking pissed at what happened. You got me loving this story. notice it 12:50 where I am and I still haven't got my ass to bed because I'm waiting up to see if you'd get another chapter out. LOL :)

That's funny...I've done the same thing with other people's writing, so I understand your pain.

Robin will have Bernie around to keep him in check if he gets too angry so he doesn't do something stupid to ruin his chances with Buffy.

yeeeaaaahhhhhhhh see i knew you weren't really really evil and you was just pretending to be or you were under the influence of a spell or drink or aliens or something lol thanks for the update and i still say PLEASE update sooooon

Oh, I really am evil - as an author - but killing Tara would hurt me as much as the readers and I don't like my own pain. *grin*

WTF!!!!!! I HATE YOU. No I don't but geese man don't do this to me. I can't breath right now, I can't think, shit I'm on the floor in convulsions right now. YOU ARE COMPLETELY EVIL!!!! You have 2 seconds to come up with the next chapter before I DIE! :(

Well, I'd be offended by your words if I weren't being evil about this. I have to admit that it's a little fun to play with canon tragedies. That should worry me more than it does.

You're an evil author! EVIL! But, hey we all love ya anyways! : )

Thanks. Gotta get my kicks somehow. Torturing the readers is always good for a laugh.

that's just mean, you know that right?

Yay! Sorry, *snicker* I'll try to be better *guffaw*.

again i say aaaarrrrrrhhhhhhh how could you, your just a big evil mean meanie lol so PLEASE update soon :)

Okay, can't draw it out any longer, I guess.

EVIL! EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL!!!!! :(

Mwahahaha.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the plus side, hopefully no Tara death!

Also, it wouldn't be the new and improved wes if he didn't have a gun!

...he IS packing, yeah???

*wrings hands nervously*

EDIT: Because Wesley is the only character in the Buffy/Angel verse who uses guns actively. I'm just assuming/hoping he knows better than to travel to the Hellmouth without a weapon! :)

Why would you think Wes would be carrying a gun to Buffy's house?

Love that you had Buffy understand Wes' circumstances. Can't wait to see how you handle this scene with Warren. :)

Well, I'm going to be evil. When the next chapter's posted, you'll see what I mean.

Well, all I can think is: Tara's in the wrong room to die (thank god). Of course, I don't want any one else to die. Except maybe Warren, and the one person in the entire Buffyverse who is (a) a crack shot (b) likely to be armed with a gun is sitting in Buffy's kitchen. I don't like Warren's odds of surviving this encounter intact.

You know what they say about gun control right?

Gun control is hitting what you aim at.



That is all. [smirks]

Love your definition of gun control!

Hey, Tara shouldn't have been shot at all on the second floor - at least not at the angle the bullet hit her. Guess they didn't think about bullet trajectories when doing the scene.

aaaaarrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how could you. i was right before when i said you were evil you had better not leave us hangin too long or, or, or oh ill think of something I'm now stamping my foot and spitting my dummy lol PLEASE UPDATE SOON

I take great pride in my evilness and in fact, strive for greater heights...or depths...not sure which it would be.

Oh no what are you doing? I'm on pins and needles now. That's a crazy place to end it tease! Love the support Buffy gave him without actually agreeing with his actions. I think they both need each other for some healing. Great Chapter

As long as people are on pins and needles then it means I left in the right spot. You probably won't like the next chapter any more than this one. *insane giggling* Wes made some mistakes, but he didn't deserve what happened to him; if anyone should get that, it's Angel. Guess he's only about his own redemption - and Faith's.

So glad to see you developing these two and the back story explanations are nice too. I was afraid that Giles was gonna come off really badly -- after all, canon doesn't really make him look so good, despite the first five seasons.

(Of course, I know that ASH needed to spend some of his children's childhood in England. Pity they didn't write it better - some 'really understandable reason he would go.)

Thanks

Blue

Yeah, normally I'd be bashing Giles for this bone-head move, but I have a plan... No clue what the writers were thinking with how they had him leave.

Heh. I've heard that pot roast story before. But that's nothing. I think the winner goes to the Brits in a news story I read some years back. For years in one building there was a sort of ceremonial guard by a staircase in one building. The position had apparently been passed down for a few generations. One person got curious as to why it existed and did some historical research. It turned out the original guard was to warn people about wet paint on the staircase! They ended up finding a new job for the "guard," and there was much amusement all around.

Oh my gosh, that is sad and funny at the same time.

I was reading some of the reviews of Luna and DeepBlueJoy and your comments to them about Robin's bio father and had the strangest idea of Blade being his father but that would completely change where you're going with this fic and who Robin is. LOL :))

Hmmm, there's an idea - for another story. I like Blade...especially the Wesley Snipes version.
