I am happy for more of this fic and I admit that it is a good place to stop . . . I just would've liked more is all.

Are there going to be more leftover fictional characters?
Looking forward to more

Thanks

Thanks for the review!
I won't say outright if there will be more leftover characters because that would be telling. :)
I'm glad you're looking forward to more chapters though.

Excellent chapter, as ever.

Thank you!

I've just finished reading this and have to say I'm quite impressed. The story works well and having the Shadows pyschic abilities sure suits Xander and I'm glad he's gotten away from his parents - Tony especially.

It will be interesting to see what other butterflies happen as a result of Cordelia being the one to choose the costumes. But first they have Angelus to deal with and maybe this time Buffy won't be reluctant to stake his vampiric ass.

I'm glad you are enjoying it and thank you for commenting!

Poor Buffy,still not ready to admit it. :)

Yes! :)
Thank you for commenting!

Have I mentioned that I really like the pairings and how you set them up? If not then, I really like them and how you did it. Thanks for continuing to write this.

You might want to work a little on your detailing and descriptions but that's just me.

Thank you!
I'll work on making descriptions more vivid.

Another great chapter. Thank you for letting us read your work, and I can't wait to read more of it.

Sincerely

John

Thank you!

It's not just sex that breaks the curse, but sex with someone he loves (or at least cares for deeply.) He had sex with Darla and didn't loose his curse, so meaningless sex probably won't break it.

You'll need to improve the explanation somehow. Say he was transformed and the woman he had sex with was the true love of the character he became or something along those lines. Might not exactly work since it wouldn't have been 'Angel' feeling perfect contentment, but good enough.

Though this 'is' coming across as just a way to get rid of Angel for some reason.

I had thought Darla didn't break it because she was a vampire. I can't imagine any non-demon finding any sort of contentment with a demon. I will try to clarify that explanation though. As it should also make clear that Giles is theorizing rather than recounting sure knowledge. He is also trying to be tactful with Buffy. If some woman had happened to wear a costume that was someone he'd known in life he might have had a "perfect moment" etc with her. You are right in that I've never been fond of Angel but I am trying to provide a plausible and readable reason for him being Angelus again.

Great new update, and I'm very pleased to see it too! Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

"...it seems pretty selfish to drag a person from heaven just because you miss them or want their help.”
I like that you had Buffy say this. Of course, the Scoobies didn't think that they were dragging Buffy from heaven when they did their thing, but still.

I'm glad someone caught that. Thank you for commenting!

Nice work

Thank you!

great story thus far. I wonder what else got left behind and why we haven't seen anything of Angel?

Thank you! The holidays will slow any new chapters down but I'll be posting again in January.

Very well done! I always thought Willow's 'Gay Now' was just political correctness on Joss and Co's part, she did love Xander and Oz as much as Tara.

Thank you for your comment! I'd agree that Willow seems to go both ways in canon.

Love Xander's solution to the Aura problem.

Thank you!

Excellent!!!!!

Thank you!

In the US there isn't any tuition for public high school.

And while what you did might make you think it worked by changing names etc. The IRS do figure you will use the names of your family and do have a close relationship in nearly all the island nation banks. So it wouldn't work. She needs that money to be scrubbed clean. She needs to have a legitimate reason to have that money and preferably to have already paid taxes on it. If Willow was a true magician of a hacker she would have had that money put into her name 7 years before as a early inheritance, then put into IRS filings any interest it would have accrued for each of those 7 years.

Okay, I will fix those two things. Thank you.
P.S. I made it a decade because I like round numbers. :)
