3: 3. Morning After Syndrome |
Signed |
Wow. OK, the angst is great, as Joss always says, we think we want our characters to be happy, yet we really enjoy the pain, that’s what hooks us. Great chapter, the parallels between Connor’s situation and pain, and then Dawn’s shared experience in this, I loved. To see how this incident is going to affect Dawn’s newfound confidence is also something I’m looking forward to. I’m having trouble not going on to the next chapter (really, I had to force myself to close the file, and write this.) I have to be up early and this is going to make it that much more difficult. But what can I say…at least I’m going to sleep looking forward to dreams of what’s to come. I can’t wait.
Author's Response: Glad you’re liking the angst. I plan to make this an angsty story, so keep enjoying the pain. Yes, Connor and Dawn share the “Love’s a Bitch” syndrome. I hope you keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying the story. Thanks so much for the reviews. |

I’m definitely enjoying the Angel/Connor camaraderie. It’s nice to see them in the relationship that we may have had the chance to see if the show hadn’t been canceled. And again, good job with everyone meeting each other, and the info we’ve been given on where everyone stands as far as knowledge of Connor’s existence . Again, you managed to keep it fun and informative. You are really great at keeping the prose to a minimum and allowing the dialogue to tell the story. I guess that is what makes you such a great screenwriter. You know me, I tend to tell too much through character reflection. I can’t wait to read on.
Author's Response: I’m looking for Connor to see Angel in an advisory capacity and, yeah, as his birth father. More on that in future chapters. But I’m a big fan of them building a relationship of sorts, so there’ll be more of that. There are a couple mysteries built in and Connor’s existence (and who knows what) is one of them. I don’t think character reflection and narration is a weakness, but I do depend to rely on dialogue to tell the story. Have I said how happy I am you’re back yet? Thanks again for reviewing. |

1: Full Moon on the Quad |
Signed |
I know it's been awhile, but I am glad to be back and reading my favorite writer's works of art. Congrats on the awards btw. Now, on to my review: Ok, loved the line, “Any city’s exciting until you do laundry there” laughed out loud at that one. Also, the mix of action with the well, ‘action on the Quad’ was great. And of course being a fan of the Dawn and Conner relationship (did I maybe give that away in my last story?) It was very nice. I like your portrayal of Dawn. Very different from mine, which is great! You would think it would bother me, but I really like her having the confidence & making the first move. It’s the Dawn we got to see in season seven’s “Him” In this first chapter you were able to show us exactly what had happened in the Buffyverse up to this point, and where we as the audience were coming in. Just great!
Author's Response: The return of Angeldove! I’ve so desperately missed your reviews and stories. Hopefully you’ll be writing your stories again as well. Thanks for the review and the award congrats. I’m also glad you liked the laundry line. That was something I told my wife about Hawaii and I really believe it. It’s as close to a credo as I can get. I’m glad you like my Dawn, because she and Connor are the main characters in this story with Willow in the Giles role. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story as much as this chapter. Thanks again for the review.

Signed |
I can't really said much in the reviews that I haven't said before. It's great. The Chapters make me want to read more.
About Dawn and Conner, I don't quite feel the relationship between those characters in general. [Not in your writing of course, you pull that off well enough. Good.] I just don't get a good feeling, I'm not a Conner/Dawn shipper. :-P :-) Great work.
Author's Response: I’m glad you’re not a Dawn/ Connor shipper. Not that I’m against that relationship, but I hate how a lot of people bring that kind of bias to a story. I had a story where the two of them hated each other and someone e-mailed saying, “What’s with Dawn and Connor? Are they going to get together, because I don’t feel that.” I answered, “You probably don’t feel that because I didn’t put it in there at all.” I hope you don’t actively hate the relationship, either. If you just keep an open mind ‘ship wise, I’m pretty sure I can take you on a fun ride. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. |

23: 20. I Still Only Have Eyes For You |
Signed |
When Conner wanted to sleep in Emily's bed, how sweet. He loved her a lot and he's sad. I'm sad. Another great chapter.
Author's Response: Sorry you're sad. Well, partially sad. That was the effect I was going for. As for sleeping in Em's bed, yeah, sweet. And a little disturbed. More to come. Thanks for reviewing. |

22: 19. I Grieve |
Signed |
Another great story. Well written family part.. Conner/Colleen [however her name is] Conner's acting pretty mature abou this situation. Good.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I want Colleen to be Supermom. I mean, if Angel made a deal with the devil, he needs to get Connor Supermom, right? And Connor may be mature now, but he'll unravel soon. I promise. |

Emily is Dead, dead.. Oh my, I thought there was hope then, no. Another good story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Yeah. I was sorry to lose Emily, personally. But the story is going places still, so keep reading. |

20: 17. Alpha Dog |
Signed |
Emily, gone, oh....... I didn't like Christian character either [I think I wrote his name down right.] Your playing with my feelings, I hear that's good. I enjoy it, Great story.
Author's Response: Yeah, Christian was a dick. Sorry for playing with your feelings. You're one of the few people to like Emily and the fact is, I always wanted people to like her so I could put them through what you're going through right now. I guess I'm a bit of a sadist in that respect. Sorry. And thanks for the review. |

19: 16. Breath Control |
Signed |
I like Angel when he was a vampire.. Hate to say it but that's the truth... I like a guy with super powers.. But I like the story either way. Makes you wonder what's going to happen now, he can't quite save the world the same way? I don't think this'll be Happily ever after.
Author's Response: This actually probably will be happily ever after. The story really isn't Angel's, so making him human (though with Connor-like strength and senses) is a way to kind of push him into the background. |

Signed |
I didn't think about Angel becoming human. Or well, heart beat. That was a good one.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I like to play games like that with the titles. So, yep. Heartbeat. |

Good Angelus taunting, to start off with. Emily trying to help her Conner. Poor girl though, got a head bang thing going on. cincussion [I don't know if I can spell that.] I hope things turn out okay. Great story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Having Angelus in the mix always makes for fun. He should cause more havoc soon. |

Angelus is playing in the field once again. That's a nice mix to the situations.

I like that first part between Angel and Conner. And the Emily and Conner relationship has a good feel to it.
Author's Response: I want to work on the Angel/ Connor relationship. I want it to be cordial, but not perfect. There should still be some tension there. Thanks for the review. |

Good, things seem to be going back to the well things between Emily and Conner. That makes this all nighter of mines good. Bravo.
