I love this. You're always so great at writing Magic!Willow, and I love that Giles finally decides he wants her anyway. And how intriguing how the timeline veers off, with Willow not being the one to kill Warren after all...

Faith, of course, was frowned upon.

When I first read this, I thought Faith as in Faith the Slayer! Hee...

Aww, thank you. I'm really glad you liked it.

This is my first Giles/Willow. I'm fairly new to Buffy fic, although a fan from the first episode.

I loved this story. You grabbed the angst of their whole existence. They are damaged, but still with the capacity to love. I'm looking forward to more of your work.

Aww, yay! I'm glad you got a nice intro to G/W. Hurrah! And thanks for feedback. *squees*

Excellent!

And now, since I gave up web surfing for Lent, I will see you next week.

Alixtii.

Hee... thank you.

May your fast (from the evil internet) be light. See you next feast day. :D

Oh, this is lovely. So subtle and complex. Love the way you did the memory spell, putting us in Giles' place and not letting us really know anymore than he did. Very cool.

Can I archive this? *puppy dog eyes*

Yay, thanks so much. I had some difficulty getting the memory spells scenes right; I'm glad it worked for you.

Archive away. :D

> Prayer was frowned upon by the Watchers' Council, as words had power and giving power to any higher being was viewed as unwise.

LOVE this bit.

> At first he thought it was God, responding to his flimsy efforts at devotion, or perhaps Janus, rebuking him for his apostasy.

*cracks up* Though I'm not sure Janus has thought of Giles as a disciple of His (Its?) for a long time.

> words hat had

Typo: Should be "that"

Interesting idea, Willow feeling something wrong in her magic. But then . . . I didn't notice anything too wrong at the incense moment, but things were happening too fast, too vague (and not in a "A Sip of Tea" kind of way) and I thought, "She's brainwashing him," and I'd been worried ever since he first touched her, had actually expected "he had meant to great her briefly" to be followed with an explanation of fear given the whole mind-connection worry that opened the fic, and partly I'm just primed for this sort of reading having recently read Sophia Jirafe's "Axis Mundi"> When he stood up that afternoon and faced ( ... )
