Ah, a lovely way to wrap things up! A thoroughly enjoyable series.

Glad you liked it! I very much enjoyed writing it.

Nice close.

Thanks! I love my loose ends tied.

Just perfect! Loved how the bot was intrigal to helping Dana (all of them actually). I so loved her and felt sorry for her too.

Faith was spot on perfect for the girl seeking redemption but doesn't want anyone clued in to it (so pre soul Spike LOL).

“Next time,” Faith suggested, rubbing her sore back, “let’s try for ‘may cause drowsiness’.” I am so naughty I thought of those ads with the "please report to your doctor if your erection lasts more than 4 hours," and Steven Colberts's comedy reply of "You're welcome."

I really like the original characters you've created. They blend perfectly with canon. Love your Robin too. A warrior for good who has some issues with his fellow warriors (gee....how real is that?).

Wonderfully done.

I was pretty happy with Bottie's job in this story, too; wish that had been in my original plan, but it all worked out! I swear, sometimes instead of painting myself into a corner I just get lucky.

Faith is very much a person who wants to go straight, but doesn't want anyone to *know* she wants to go straight. Sometimes, she doesn't even want herself to know; and I think she'll be in denial about being one of the good guys for the rest of her life.

That might be part of why she's still with Robin in my world; it's against her nature to be with one man for this long, and in every way she's trying to fight her nature. Well, that's my excuse, at least; I just hate to break up couples. :-)

I'm really, *really* glad you liked Kara! (And Richard?) They were both created as Mary Sue characters: my daughter and me. But that was just a shell, and I worked very, very hard to make them original, well rounded, and capable of fitting into this world.

Hee!
This story is made of awesome!
I hope you write more stories in this universe.

Yay!

[ozma914]

*All* my Jossverse stories are in this universe! (Well, except for a little pun thing called "Xander's Walk".) I've written, I think, something like 17 stories plus the "Four Friends" tales, which are a series of mostly unrelated tales about the same characters (Tara's ghost, Bottie, Dana, and Kara).

Originally they came out on fanfiction.net, then on my own LJ page; since they're all gen stories, I've been reposting them here, and I've been really happy with their reception. They're all in chronological order: Richard and Kara were introduced in my very first story, set right at the end of "Chosen".

So, yes, you'll be seeing more stories in this universe. I'm trying to get back more into original fiction, because of the whole wanting to write full time thing, but I don't see myself getting completely away from fanfiction anytime soon; I'm having way too much fun.

Oh, nice ending! Love that the Bot can now repair herself and is no longer programmed to seek out Willow when she needs maintenence. And of course Giles would have a bandaged forehead! I've lost count of all the times he'sbeen knocked unconscious.

Yay! for Robin apologizing to Faith, but did he ever get cleaned up?

Very enjoyable story.

[ozma914]

Bot might still need help from Willow from time to time, but she's not the same robot she started out to be. Just as Giles gets hit in the head a lot, Bottie keeps getting hit by doses of magic, which will cause some *very* odd things to happen within her.

While I don't establish that Robin finally got cleaned up, I think the fact that others are willing to be around him days later should speak for itself! Maybe Faith gave him a sponge bath; somebody else will have to write that scene!

[spikendru]

Maybe Faith gave him a sponge bath

But, "Only in an erotic, Penthouse-y way, not in a sponge-bath-y geriatric sort of..." of course!

*gigglesnort*

[ozma914]

I'm sure Faith and Robin would get the details worked out in no time!
