Noice. This reads very much like a Highlander episode, complete with flashbacks. Yay!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Great chapter. I have been waiting for this one :)))

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Cool to see more of this complex story. Thanks again for sharing.

And thank *you* for reading :-)

*gapes* Oh, you're evil. If you don't update soon, I may have to hurt you.

Oh, no! Just when I think you can't toss us any more twists and turns, Tara takes a dark quickening (which actually makes a lot of sense, when the First is involved). Can't wait to see what comes next.

I vaguely remember reading the first couple of chapters when they were first posted, but just now read everything posted.

WOW is all I can say. Incredible....and the dark quickening? Good move. Looking forward to reading more! Hope you update soon! :)

Just re-read from the start... from chatper 9 it was new to me. Thanks for weaving such an interesting, complicated tale.

Ouch! Not too common the Dark Quickening, but it makes sense.

I as happy to see an update and hope you stay inspired!

Ouch.Tara with a Dark Quickening.I can't wait to see the next chapter.

Poor Methos! In spite of the fact that the Immortal-Watcher T-shirt didn't fit so well, it looks like he's destined to be wool-clad exposition guy for Buffy and her friends for a while . . . at least until they find a way out of wherever they are. Also, I adore the idea of Tara playing "Bad Cop" for Arturo, and can't wait to see how that goes (I'm betting she'll be surprisingly effective in the role, since she's never lacked courage or resolution when her principles or someone she loved was at stake).

Thanks for continuing to update this engrossing fic.

Cool you updated. Nice to see that Buffy and Adam are getting along while Angel is still suspicous of him. So what next? Any word on Duncan?

Poor poor Methos, being 5,000 years old couldn't prepared for this mess.
Is nice to see the old man being tested this way, it' waaay too funny!!.

See ya!

How cool that Cassandra was willing to face Methos again, in order to pass on the warning about Tara's safety! And I like the way you depicted both Cassandra's inability to get past what Methos had done to her (can't really blame her), but also the fact that Methos feels guilt and is sincerely trying not to make things worse for her. I'm fascinated by the fact that Buffy seems to have gone pure Slayer in that alternate plane of existence, just as Angel has (as in Pylea) changed to his pure demon form, apparently.

Eager to see what comes next.

This is fantastic!! I like seeing Tara back and you got Adam down pat. Can't wait for more!!
