It felt like she had only just dosed off when the sensation of being watched pulled her back into the world of the conscious. She blinked her eyes in the faded light of the cabin, vision clearing to focus on a familiar face. Registering the lightest brush of his fingers against her cheek, ( Read more... )

THIS.

She felt it then, a twisting in her gut unlike any other before it. Something forewarning of great age, and even greater power. . . .

This entire paragraph, Anna. Just ... wow.

I do not think I have ever read a more powerful description of Angel from any character, canon or fanfic, than what you just gave us right here. And from a minor character no less!

Brilliant.

wow

I really wanted to re-envision Angel through the eyes of someone who's never seen him before. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :D

Yay for the real Buffy coming back!

Heeeee! She never was quite the same without Angel there to help her carry the burdens of the world :(

Four reasons why I adore this chapter ( ... )

1) I love being able to explore an intimate aspect to their relationship. They were always so guarded with one another, afraid to temp fate again, and releasing them from that opens up a whole realm of possibility. Besides, they'll have enough to worry about soon enough, without tarnishing the sexytiems :P

2) Yay! I'm so glad you said this, because that was precisely the intent. Having the reader see them through Vi's eyes gives them that new beginning.

3) Double yay! Glad you enjoyed it.

4)I firmly believe that Buffy became so stone-hearted in the latter seasons because she didn't have Angel, not just romantically, but as a general support.

Absolutely. She didn't have to explain anything to him; he just understood. I don't think she ever felt the full brunt of being "the One girl in all the world" as deeply as she did after losing him.

Thank you so much, sweetie. I'm really happy that you liked this chapter :D

Wow, wow, wow.

I love how you've given Vi the function of seeing Angel and Buffy stripped bare, telling the whole story in just a few moments.

Excellent job, as always.

Thanks so much, sweetie! I felt like re-envisioning Buffy and Angel through a stranger's eyes kind of gave them a new beginning. So glad you enjoyed it :D

I missed you so much ! 7nora March 20 2010, 20:47:15 UTC

OMG ( ... )

Wow, thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm! I'm really glad you liked this chapter. Exploring these characters and their complicated relationships, making them grow and evolve beyond what we got to see, has been a real pleasure.

I actually do know where I want to lead you, but I'm so glad you're enjoying the ride ;)
