I know we're in chapter 11, but I didn't expect this to be here! :) I felt like Buffy was going to drag it out a while longer, but I'm glad she didn't. It was about time. :p That was a sweet scene, and felt perfectly paced and timed for them, and where they are. I loved how sweet Faith was to Buffy. Wish I didn't have to head to sleep now, and I could finish getting caught up. Maybe you can add some more chapters before I do? :D



Author's Response:

I was wondering how long I could really drag everything out but I couldn't forever.  And neither could Buffy. :)

Thanks for all the feedback on this one!  Very appreciated!  :D

So adorable and sweet. :) 



Author's Response:

Thanks!  Sometimes it's fun to write adorable.  :)

Date: 09/10/2013 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13

I liked both coming out conversations. Joyce felt really in character with her pushing Buffy to concentrate on school. She likes Faith, but she's also not overly permissive. Giles too felt in character, especially with his little snark about showing up when they're supposed to. :p Bad slayers. 

I'm glad everything went well for them. :) This is a great fluffy fic. :D



Author's Response:

It took longer than I thought to write both conversations because I didn't want them to be too accepting, especially with school coming and the fact they blew off training.  It is fluff though so it couldn't be too bad, right?  :)



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed
Date: 09/10/2013 Title: Chapter 14: Epilogue

She is right!! I think there's a happy ending for these two. You don't have to see each other everyday to make things work, and I'm sure they'll make their time together count. :) I feel like everything is going to work out. What a great change of pace to just read a light happy fic. Thoroughly enjoyed it! 



Author's Response:

Thanks!  I hadn't written a fluffy one in a while and started this one to balance out the angst I was writing in Disappear.  I think they'll have a happy ending, too.  :)

It's been so long since I read this that it all felt completely new to me. I can't remember now who was the death that finally sent her over the edge, as you alluded to here? Initially I was thinking Dawn, but she's alive and well in England. How weird is it that the non connected to US countries are still just continuing as usual while all this is happening? 

Buffy's map was just as creepy the second time around. I am just as excited to see Kennedy die this time around too. :) No Kennedy always improves the story. 

I like Xander and Willow here. They feel very in character, especially Xander. He's not one of my favorites, but when he's written to be the best of himself, that improves him greatly. 

In short, I love this just as much as I did the first time I read it. 



Author's Response:

Thanks hun. :) I call people I like hun, deal with it grouchy. :P

I suppose it is weird to think of the rest of the world going about its business while America goes into meltdown. But there is this air of conspiracy and covering it up - I like to think the same military "geniuses" behind the Intiative programme thought it would be best to try and contain the problem themselves and don't forget this is pre-Iraq war America when they still thought they could do anything and win. :P

But you will see how this will begin to affect the world soon enough. The chaos will spread and to be honest I am starting to visualize where this story will end up and I don't think it will be particularly cheerful.

But that's ahead of us - probably quite far given my track record. I assume you've read all the chapters I've posted on here and are awaiting the rest. I'll do my best to get at least 1 or 2 more uploaded tonight for you. :)

 



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 09/13/2013 Title: Chapter 6: Tipping Point

Okay, something very weird happened. I opened the prologue, opened it in the reader thing on iPhone's safari, and proceeded to get started on my re-read. The reader put everything up until the end of this chapter there. I thought it was pretty long, but I know you have a hard time cutting off the chapters so I just thought you really went to town writing that prologue. It didn't even occur to me that e-reader was doing something wonky. Wtf. So yes, I read up until this point now. Grrr. 

Let me say something about this chapter specifically since Reader fucked all my plans up. 

I like the character of the General. Actually I really like the inclusion of the military in general in the fic. It's a really interesting direction, to take this supernatural crazy shit and put it in the context of a real world scenario, like there are refugees, and the government functions in some regard, trying to keep the country from being a complete lost cause. Plus it gives you red shirts to kill. :)

I wonder what makes a hellmouth basically explode. Because no one's been watching the Cleveland one for years and nothing major has happened. I also wonder what the difference is between them. Are their multiple hells, and each one is linked to a different hellmouth so they're each a bit unique? So many questions the show didn't answer. Here we can assume it's the First's machinations. :) And boy do I love reading about those. 



Author's Response:

Oh dear, how strange. Bad e-reader! No. Don't do that.

I did try to ground the story in reality while sticking with the feel of the show and keeping the characters feeling and sounding like themselves. I'm glad you like Xander and Willow. Sometimes I worry I made them two too happy or suddenly too sad for it not to make sense. Think I got away with it for the most part. I still don't get the big hubbabaloo about crazy Buffy. The more I read of her the more she seems like a petulant child who's just out to dick with everyone. I wanted her more sinister than anything, I think there's a little of that shown in her, namely when she fights.

You mention the General who was in chapter 6 so am I to presume you read chapter 7 too? Just odd you chose to review from the 2nd to most recent uploaded chapter, worried you missed one.



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: 09/13/2013 Title: Chapter 7: Blood And Dust

Oh, crazy Buffy. Why you gotta do Willow that way? I mean, I'm glad Kennedy's dead but I wouldn't say that to her. God. 

Wood, I couldn't care less about and I look forward to his death, which I remember will be coming up. :D 

The picture you've painted outside the compound is great. There's not a constant onslaught again her as soon as she steps out because the demons don't have to do that. They're just hanging out like, yeah, this is our world now. Very effective and creepy picture. 



Author's Response:

Ah you beat me to it haha. Wood is a tad...wooden. badum dum tsh! He never felt like the most outgoing of character's but I did my best with him here and I hope I made the relationship between him and Faith feel genuine and their banter humourous at the least.

With the world building aspect of things, I think I was trying to do a slow build to a full on attack on the compound. But that feeling of a dark, destroyed city fillled with demons and monsters waiting to skirmish with soldiers and slayers rather than attack in a big rush of numbers felt more believable.

Right, I best go read through chapter 8 and upload it before I change my mind! :P



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 09/20/2013 Title: Chapter 8: Against The Tide

I don't want to celebrate Wood's death when Faith's so up--no, I'll still celebrate. Woot! He's dead! I love character death in fic, what can I say?

I like the moments when Buffy feels like her again, ie the admission that she didn't actually know she was saving Faith's bacon. Regarding what you said before about how you're surprised people like crazy Buffy, I don't remember how I felt about her the first time, but I don't particularly love her now. I mean, I don't hate her, but I miss original flavor Buffy.

I like the progression in the First, where it can inhabit people. Although I was sad to see it happen to the general because I liked his character. I wish there were more fuffy feeling moments in this. I liked Faith injured and Buffy helping her for that reason. Plus it makes me feel like she's still our Buffy deep down. She will risk her own ass to save Faith's, and I felt that when she was hauling Faith around, and standing in front of her at the elevator. 

The last scene, their desperate escape attempt, all of it riding on Willow, when she's so messed up, was so suspenseful. I loved it. 



Author's Response:

You meanie! Poor Wood. Ah well he was a pretty THROW AWAY character anyway. aha. aha ha.

I suppose there isn't a great amount of fuffy feeling in this story so far but the concept is pretty dark and smothered with angst, with the odd bit of humour injected so it doesn't make people want to cut themselves. I do intend to have a stronger fuffy element as we progess so be patient and you shall be rewarded. :)

Glad you found that last scene tense, t'was my intent.

Date: 09/20/2013 Title: Chapter 9: The Catalyst (Part I)

I'm actually glad you took so long to update, because now I get to re-read each gut wrenching chapter like it's the first time. This chapter was fantastic. The fuffy moments. The bangel, which I freaking love. Faith's complete lack of concern over Spike's death, which I totally agreed with. So. Much. Awesome. 

I love Angel, and his death resonated with me so hard. Damn it! Not Angel! Take Giles! Okay, not Giles. Oh! Take Willow, Xander, and Dawn. I'll trade all three for Angel. Where was Gunn? I don't remember, did we learn in the published chapters what happened to Fred, Wes, and Lorne? Are we to assume they're dead? 

Angel working for W&H was not my favorite plot, but I think you did it justice here. All the funny stuff (fucking Eve) while having someone clearly state they are displeased with this evil alliance, plus ending the world before we lost Fred, Wes, or Gunn. Plus Spike's still dead. Excellent. 

Loved Angel's final I love you to Buffy, as well his permission giving to Faith. For me, this is probably the best chapter of the fic so far. Loved it. 



Author's Response:

No one is that glad I took this long to update but thank you for saying it. :P

Sorry for knocking off Angel, he would have been fun to write but it felt necessary I made Buffy feel truly helpless; if she can't save a champion like Angel what chance has she of protecting her very human, very mortal friends? I think that's what I imagined that was the line of thinking that consumed her and why she ultimately just cracked up and ran away from it all. She didn't want to have to watch them die.

We do see the Angel gang here and very soon you will know what has happened to at least a few of them.

I wanted to make Angel giving Faith "permission" more of his attempt at humour at an inappropriate time rather than be deadly serious. Otherwise it just reads as kind of hammy and unbelievable. I mean, I think I wanted it implied he suspected Faith had a thing for Buffy what with her obsession with her and her forgiveness and the very unsubtle way she reacted to him asking her to take Buffy out would probably not go unnoticed. Happy to hear how much you loved this chapter. :)



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: 09/20/2013 Title: Chapter 10: The Catalyst (Part II)

I want to know too. What happened in there?? And did Faith do the right thing or the wrong thing, according to Lorne's vision?!

The she left, she left us bit made me think of Jurassic Park. :p 

I see my question about the rest of Angel's gang is sort of answered. They did live through it. But they're not in Salt Lake so where are they? Oh my god. Did you kill Wesley? How could you!?

I liked Dawn's casual foray into alcoholism, and Giles's reactions to everything. 

Do the other eventually find out what Buffy did to Faith? Because I remember Willow saying something about how Buffy hurt Faith the most. 



Author's Response:

I think I'm gonna write what happened in that room in the next chapter. I think it's time I stopped skirting around it. How you react to it will be...interesting.

Date: 09/20/2013 Title: Chapter 11: We All Fall Down

Loved the Buffy/Faith bonding, and loved them fighting too, actually. Oh Canada. Not even demons want to go there. I'm curious about what happened to all the other magical people. How'd they get deep fried? 



Author's Response:

The extra crispy humans get explained in a way in Chapter 13. Other than that I wouldn't read too much into it apart from the fact Willow was just the strongest of the group and managed to scrape through. I think the two soldiers were just lucky enough to get brought along for the ride and I didn't want it to just be the main protaganists making it through, it seemed too...suspect.

Date: 09/20/2013 Title: Chapter 12: Ghost Stories

I had totally forgotten the reveal about Buffy and the little boy. :( God. Poor Buffy. I think with each chapter we're seeing a little more of the real Buffy, and I'm excited about that because I love her. 

I like the idea of them going on the open road for a while, but I hope they at least call Giles. It's not right to let him think they're dead! 

Liked the moment with Xander hugging Faith, and loved Willow teleporting in. Xander and Willow are both really enjoyable in this fic, and that's coming from someone who's not a big fan of either. 



Author's Response:

Aww, I made you like Willow and you hate her with a fiery passion. I am touched. You touched me. Okay, you can stop now. :P

Aha, yeah good ol' Buffy...sure we'll see more of the normal Buffy in chapter 13...yup...mm hmm.



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed starstarstarstar
Date: 09/22/2013 Title: Chapter 13: Facing Demons

The long awaited chapter 13! It was a good chapter. I liked the nightmare and the scene with Willow and Faith. The relationships between Faith and Willow and Xander are very interesting, especially with Buffy back in the picture. 

Buffy's serious mental issues rearing their ugly head after so many moments when it felt like the real Buffy was heading back to the driver's seat was so disappointing. Realistic, but hard to read. 

I'm surprised there is any military left to stop people from getting back in the US. With the way things were going, I thought they'd be spread too thin to really be watching the border. 

Character development wise, it was a strong chapter. My only complaint is that it feels like the deep breath before something else terrible, but there's no next chapter to read. I hope you'll update soon. Did writing this one so quickly get you more in the mood to keep going? 



Author's Response:

This chapter was always going to feel like an intermission and it may feel like nothing major happened because of what i had to cut out and put in chapter 14. It has put me in the mood to write and with chapter 14 already half done the next update shouldnt be too long. I mean that with no trace of sarcasm. Happy you like the dynamic between the gang, sorry for making Buffy crazy-ier again, its something that needs to happen, bare with it and wait for the next chapter to shed some more light on why buffy has become what she is. 

The army thing was just to throw another obstacle in their way but with where they were, so close to cleveland, it made sense for some military presence around the area with it being demonstrated earlier in the story how the military is aware of the other hellmouth. Thanks for taking the time to rereview and leave me great feedback, i hope to keep you enthused with the story till the end.

Buffy's been fighting evil since she was a teen. Now, resettled in Cleveland, pregnant, and in a stable relationship with the only other person who can understand her completely, this should be the part of the story where she gets her happy ending. Right?

Well, pumpkin, I've decided to start reading this, in hopes that you will take pity on me and decide to continue it. You did tell me you had the end done! So now I will be relentless in my nagging. :D

This: Buffy looked worriedly between the hand still wiggling between the vice grip of her inner thighs and the beverage cart rolling steadily closer.

Had me snorting. :)
The dream sequence turned from funny to creepy in the blink of an eye, and boy did I love the creepy. The image of all the passengers sleeping and Buffy freaking the eff out because she was already nervous but now she's scared was so great. I had no idea it was a dream! I was waiting for a demon to pop up and them to have a hilarious pregnant airplane fight scene. Your way was probably better for the baby though. :p
Assuming the dream reflected real life, liked Faith's whole attitude toward B's pregnancy. She's so supportive. Also happy that Buffy's actually able to step back from slaying. That's gotta be hard. Makes me wonder what Nikki Wood did when she was pregnant and the only active slayer. Hmm.

Noticed this typo!

"taken a long, hot shoulder to help ease the tension that had built up"

:p

Great chapter! I'm not even a big kid person, but you really feel for Buffy. Even above and beyond the normal feelings of love and excitement, her baby means so much to her in terms of giving her something to be proud of and feel accomplished for. And then it's just gone. And Faith's under some sort of spell and, gah! I just feel so sorry for Buffy. How horrible! I would imagine as it continues she's going to start to question her own mind. This is a pretty genius story line, and not at all what I thought would happen wayyyyy back when we talked about DN2 initially and I suggested killing the baby. :p 

It's awesome and must be continued, is what I'm saying. :D

Damn straight you're not crazy! (Except maybe you're crazy, and Liz has been fucking with us all along, I don't know!). I'm surprised Buffy was even able to go to this appointment, or concentrate on talking to Faith. I expected her to go balls to the wall with research and demon beating and baby hunting.

"Buffy blinked back the tears that seemed to flow so easily lately." Is this a clue!? Pregnancy hormones! Okay, Buffy's not crazy. Faith's crazy. And the psych is a demon!

No? Yes? I don't know. I have to read the next chapter. Damn it, I am going to be so pissed at you when I am caught up.

Bonus to baby being gone though? I never have to see Preston again, holllllla.



Reviewer: aliceinwonderbra Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 09/11/2013 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 3: Little White Lie

So it sounds like they've done this research thing a few times, or at least the gang thinks they have. Interesting. If it is a spell, it's very intricate and well laid out. Buffy's right, with the examples she's bringing up. But if the rest of them think they've already tried to believe her and done the research, then they're going to be against it.

My heart jumped when Faith realized Buffy was standing there listening to her and Willow talk. Poor Buffy. D: Poor Faith. D: Poor W---no, wait a minute, I hate Willow. Not here specifically, just you know, in general in life. :)

I'm glad they're not breaking up. I hope Buffy can forgive Faith once this is resolved, because not believing her is a pretty big betrayal. But Faith's under a spell! I think.

Damn it, I spoke too soon! Preston. *shakes fist* PRESTOOOOOOOON. UGH. You couldn't have made Preston dead in this reality/spell/whatever? Don't you care about me at all, Liz?

I liked that Buffy went to him, though I don't know what he could have done to help if he did believe her. I'm really happy for Faith to be back too. It felt so realistic how that happened--they just want to be back together even if they don't know what's going to happen and Faith's afraid Buffy's lost it, and Buffy's feeling betrayed by Faith.

FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS. MY FEEELINGS.

Lol! Well, Buffy is nothing if not resourceful. That was smart thinking, although I am quite nervous about where she's going to end up now.

I love Faith for finally coming around and thinking that maybe her mind is being messed with. So does this mean Buffy hasn't pulled the 'my baby's been stolen' thing before? If so that makes it even weirder for them to not have at least considered she was right. Blocking spell it must be! Very clever, Ms. Lizard. :p

Ohhh, belly book. Either Buffy is a total loon AND she can forge handwriting, OR it's a spell.

Okay but seriously, can you have chapter 10 up by the time I get there because I'm totally engrossed, and I don't know why you would want to leave me hanging like this?

I. LOVE. THIS.

Why did I wait so long to read it? Oh, I remember now. Because you've stopped in the middle with no intention to finish it. DAMN IT.

I raced through this chapter. I loved the bickering between Willow and Faith. I don't know why it amused me so much, but it did. I'm intrigued by the other world, and lol'd at the crybaby demon. Ouch though, poor Buffy. That's no good. I hope years haven't passed by the time Faith gets through the portal, although I suspect they haven't because I have no idea how you'd work with that. :p

Loved the Willow fangirling, and this:

Kennedy wasn't so concerned about Buffy's disappearance, but she jumped at the opportunity to be intimidating.

I need more. MORE.

D: Fucking First Evil! It just won't accept being beaten. Grrrr.

The anti demon KKK was inspired. What a prick, although you sympathize with them somewhat if demons are allowed to hurt humans freely. :/

I like Dagmar, although I am less than enthused about a 5 year old. Children who can talk are so much worse than babies! God, the First really is evil.

Date: 09/12/2013 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 8: Nora

Hmm, I am not sure what to make of this. I don't think of the First as interested in keeping balance in check. I think of the Powers as that, but the First definitely gunning for evil to come out ahead. I wonder how much of what she's saying is true, and how much is just her fucking with Buffy.

Faith's storyline was funny. The KKK were so confused by her. I wonder what plans they have and if they can really break her in.

Banishment actually was an improvement over what I thought would happen, since I thought she'd say, kill Faith and you can have your kid back.

Do you really not have any more written? D: Please write it! I need to know what happens!!! Grrrr! Argh!

Date: 01/31/2014 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Choosing Sides

Shall I start with a complaint? This is too short! You leave me hanging for this long and you don't come back with the longest chapter ever?? Just cold, Liz. 

That aside, I'm glad to see more of this fic! I still don't trust The First. I refuse to buy her as this all about the balance being who would so benevolently not try to kill all the Scoobs if they came here. She's not TPTB, she's eeeeevil. What is she up to??

I'm predicting Faith's vial will get used to send the kid back to home dimension, with one of the slayers. Although they'd stand a better chance if they sent her alone and they both stayed to fight, actually. I feel kind of bad for Faith... Hard to explain, I guess it just seems sad somehow that she is so focused on Buffy, and she doesn't know yet that the missing baby is here, older, and Buffy's top priority. The relationship is totally different and she doesn't know yet. If that makes any sense. If you don't come back with the next chapter as soon as possible, I am gonna hunt you down. :)

Date: 09/09/2013 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

I don't think Kennedy had a single speaking line, which is the mark of a great fic, in my humble opinion. :D While I was reading, the seasons theme seemed very subtle, not like beating me over the head. I totally forgot there would be something about seasons, because I was so thoroughly entranced. I loved Faith's character here. She was very subtle in how she wormed her way into Buffy's affections, just steadfast and thoughtful and finally Buffy noticed all those fantastic little things she was doing. 

You made Willow and Xander very likeable, as you always do. They felt like them, but like the very best of them, when they're cute and sweet and yet also willing to go for tough love. They were wonderful. *leaves for a few moments to write a strongly worded email to Joss Whedon on the bs that was season 7* Ahem. Poor Satsu got the bad end of the stick here, but I'm on Team Faith so I can't bring myself to care. :p 

I loved also the inclusion of Joyce in both the Jeep talk and the Christmas decorations. It felt just right. Although now I'm thinking of Dawn. Was she there? I don't recall if she was mentioned other than in Rome. 

You did make me really homesick for traditional change of seasons though. :( But  don't worry, you can make it up to me. My birthday's in May. :D



Author's Response:

HAHAHA!!! Kennedy haters untie!

Season 7 haters untie two!

There seems to be a lot of hate in this feedback to your feedback. Feedback haters unt...Okay, I'll stop now. :D

Yeah, Satsu did sort of get a rough deal, but if you try to get between the Fuffy, it's not going to work out so well for you. At least not in one of my stories.

I'm really glad you liked Joyce's presence, and as for Dawn -- she was mentioned a few times. In the end though, Faith converted her back into a ball of energy and put her on top of one of the trees. I decided to delete that scene.

I totally hear you on the change of the seasons. While we sort of get that here in Gainesville, I still miss the real deal of Michigan. WAAHHH!

I'm really glad you liked the fic and thanks for the feedback! :) :) :)

I have been starved, starved I tell you, for Electra fic. I was so excited to read this, and it didn't disappoint. :) This was a great start. I loved Buffy going to visit Faith and continuing to check in on her. Loved her doing personal care stuff for Faith, which I'd never thought of.

Joyce and Giles were great, and I'm happy to see Giles taking some responsibility for Faith. I know he had been fired and all that jazz, but anyone could see her life was a wreck. Obviously Wesley sucked too, but I really put most of the blame on Giles. *shakes fist at him*

I'm excited to see where it goes from here. Well, I know where it goes, but I mean I'm excited to see it unfold! There are other 'Faith wakes up,' type fics that I love, but I'm looking forward to this one because I know it's going in a completely different direction. :)

Poor Faith. It must be so overwhelming for her right now. I'm curious if she remembers those dreams with Buffy, or she's just playing along because it stops her from getting turned in to the council. I guess I'll find out next week!

Now that I've put all this faith in you, I hope you will be back next week. :p



Author's Response:

No starving, Alice!  I will do my best to provide you with nutritious and delicous Fuffy on a weekly basis.  :p

'Faith wakes up' is one of my most favorite kinds of stories.  Here's hoping I can do it justice.  And yes, this one will have quite a different take on it, as you know.  :D  Things are gonna get hairy.  *titters*

New chapter is expected within my alotted time frame.  Unless I get lazy, in which case you will have to starve!  :p   Thanks for reading, and for harassing, friend :)
