So, this update might not be as fangirl-y as I would like it to be because once again, I do have a migraine and it’s late, so.. Bear with me. It also
might not be too long and for that I am sorry. I will do my best though.

The start of the chapter was very cute, as usual. Jenny telling Rupert to walk across the room again was cute. Who wouldn’t want him to walk in again? Juuust sayin’.

The rest of the chapter at the Coven and the whole delving into Jenny’s past was just amazing. Amazing seems like too small of a word to describe your work in all honesty, but that’s the best I can think of right now.

Since this was an original! chapter, I assume that you wrote this whole thing based off your own ideas. To me, that is epically amazing because Angel being in love with Serena (who looks just like Jenny) and Enyos being eternally young was actually a really REALLY cool idea.

The love behind Serena and Angel’s relationship kind of reminded me of the love behind Giles and Jenny’s relationship in a way. It felt right, even though the circumstances weren’t the best.

Serena not losing her soul after being turned was also sad, but it really did show how much Angel did care for her when he stayed with her and tried to feed her, even though she didn’t want to eat.

I am not sure if I was the only one thinking this in this chapter, but this would have been a good episode to film so that we could see what a starving vampire looks like. I know how Spike describes them, and I know it’s a sad thing to want to see, but it’s an interesting thing to think about nonetheless.

Finally, Jenny’s ‘seeing’ the events to come is also very good. Even though I think most of us do know what happens, this whole new storyline has me on the edge of my seat.

Well, that’s all for me. Again, sorry this was shorter than usual… This being short doesn’t mean the chapter wasn’t good. I LOVED this Chapter and thought that it was VERY VERY well written and the different things that are revealed in it about how/why Angel got cursed, etc. is just amazing and I really did like it.

So, thank you so very much as always and I can’t look forward to reading what is to come.

Thank you so much! As I've mentioned before, I've had this plotline sitting in my back pocket for awhile, so it was nice to finally let it see the light of day. :)

Who wouldn’t want him to walk in again? Juuust sayin’. Amen. And, come on - there couldn't have been an episode about a clothes-stealing demon that always seemed to strip Giles down to his boxers? Seriously now.

I did base this one around my own ideas, yes! Thank you so much. It took a bit of researching (I've actually got some Wicca and gypsy info bookmarked in case I need to go back to it), but I'm happy you enjoyed it.

I know how Spike describes them, and I know it’s a sad thing to want to see, but it’s an interesting thing to think about nonetheless. I remember that! Spike saying it was like the starving-Ethiopian commercials, right? I remember at some point in season four, he was looking a little sickly too. Or I at least remember episodes where his eyes were made up to look kinda sunken-in, but I guess I can't remember now if that was starvation or something else. I would go back and watch, but season four was my least fave. Ugh.

Thank you again, so much! I'm very excited to get to the end of this season (as I'm sure you all have been able to tell, LOL). More of Hell's Bells will be posted soon!
