Chapter 1~ Burning Fire

She had known the moment it happened. Not because she felt like the earth had been ripped out from under her. Not because she could feel the bile rising up in her throat. Not even because her hand flew to her neck instinctively, fingering the tiny puncture wounds that could no longer be seen, only felt. She had known ( Read more... )

Hi, just followed the links back to the beginning of this and got started on it. Thought I'd let you know I'm on board for the rest of the ride and quite excited about it. I already love what you're doing with Buffy and her feelings about Angel. Cheers!

Okay. I'm hooked. Come late to the party, I know, but there is plenty here to keep me happy.

When Andrew had been sent to L.A. to retrieve the rogue slayer, her orders had been explicit. No matter what he had to say to do it, he had to get the girl. She knew it would be a blow. She regretted that. She regretted making him think that she no longer trusted him, that she no longer knew him. She knew him. She had always known him, would always know him. He was working an angle. He was using Wolfram and Hart, even as they thought they were using him. He had a plan. But she wasn’t a part of that. She had her side of the world and he had his. No one from her camp believed he hadn’t been seduced by the darkness, not even Willow. It was easier to have him think she believed it too. She thought about calling and explaining the truth, giving him hope. She hadn’t called. She hadn’t dared.I love this. Buffy gave the order, she was slayer in charge, she meant for Angel to think she no longer trusted him. She thought she was helping with his plan ( ... )

Oh, yay! Welcome! This was really the only way I could think to justify/explain Buffy's (perceived) behavior in AtS S5. I mean, come on. Even if Angel was named the Prince of Darkness and handed the keys to Hell itself, Buffy would come knocking on his door to ask him what was up. No way would she ever just write him off.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the little intro chapter. On to respond to the rest of your reviews. I can't believe you read all those chapters in one sitting!

I had to stop after chapter 8. For dinner no less. *g* I'm off to read the next two installments.
