I really like that you have Connor questioning Angel about what he had Lorne do to Lindsey. That action reinforces the extent to which Angel is willing to go. As Angel not Angelus. I like the dark side that Angel has. Lorne and Eve are a great combination. Both characters have a strong sense of self preservation and a general ambivalence toward good and evil. They mix well. Very funny banter. Speaking of very funny banter... Angel and Spike together was fantastic. Spike needles him like no other. I really LOVE your idea on how to help Dana. Very inventive and so much better than Willow's usual problem solving routine of just erasing the memory. Dawn and Connor's talk was a great addition. It really show's how bad Connor feels about what happened between him and Buffy. What and EVIL cliffhanger!
Author's Response: Angel as Angel has a very dark side that’s much like Wesley’s. It’s the do-what-must-be-done side that acknowledges that, sometimes, good guys are going to die. Lorne and Eve are a great odd couple. I thought the idea of how to help Dana would be neat. It’s a kind of therapy that could actually repair the damage, rather than just bury it. Maybe it could work on some other people as well. Hmmm . . . Poor Connor. His indiscretion with Buffy has not only caused a slight rift between him and his dad, but also with Dawn, who could’ve been a good fit for him. Ah, well. Sorry about the evil cliffhanger, but how else can I keep you reading? |

Creepy chapter. Vail's mansion was a GREAT place to set this. Lorne and Eve made an excellent odd couple. Angel seems like he's going off the deep end.
Author's Response: Angel always goes off the deep end where Connor is concerned. Vail's creepy mansion will hopefully keep you entertained for a couple ep's. |

Dawn and Connor bantering? Really, really good. Going back to Vail's place? Spooky as hell. It gave me shivers. I still am mad at Angel though. Have you played this a little too much? Would Angel go this far? I'm still not so sure about it. I guess it's a matter of interpretation. But Angel does suffer the consequences of his actions. So Whendonverse! Perfect.
Author's Response: Glad you like the Dawn and Connor moments. Everyone wants those two together, so I really, really want to tease you all. Glad Vail's place was spooky. I really do believe Angel is 100% capable of murder when it comes to his son. |

I really enjoyed this chapter on many levels. Seeing Connor begin to feel guilty about what he did to Angel by sleeping with Buffy, and then realize it is going to hurt even more people if it is found out…it was just nice to see that side of Connor surfacing again. This story is really great at showing both sides of his character. This story more than any other has made me really look at Connor and his two sides as parallels of Angel and Angelus.
Author's Response: Thanks as always for the review. I’m glad you liked Connor’s remorse. Without giving too much away, I’d just like to say; take a good look while you can. I’m glad you see an Angel/Angelus-like condition for Connor. It’s definitely a theme I want to play with, in more ways than one. |
