loving somebody like Buffy says she does with Xander. Especially than she should have told Xander what he did that is even worse then the past with Angelus. Not telling is just wrong, if you(Xander) don't know what you did wrong you can's learn from it.

To quote The Master "prophecies are tricky creatures. They don't tell you everything". So killing Mary can be a good thing but it also could be a disaster. So we don't know if Buffy and of course Angel did the right thing. But killing a innocence baby/child in cold blood you must be cold hearted. Tells a lot about Xander, Wesley and Cordelia.

Cette fic nous montre vraiment le Bangel a son paroxysme qui nous montre pas de l'amour mais un drame qui rapproche les gens, que ce couple sans tragédie n'est pas un couple mais rien alors que là j'aime le fait que c'est un drame et c'est vrai que pour les trahisons cette fic en montrent et tu nous montrent que d'un point de vue celle de Buffy et Angel mais pas ceux des autres autres ce qui fait que nous mettons davantage de trahisons sur les autres que sur eux après Buffy se plaint mais elle est parti sans laisser de note et il y a un truc c'est que Angel ont ne sais pas si Angel est gentil ou méchant mais pour Buffy Angel aura la primeur a sa famille car en théorie si vraiment Dawn était présent en saison 2 il n''y aurait pas eu de Bangel au moins pas ce que l'on connais parce que choisir Angel (son petit copain du moment) pour sa famille je ne crois pas, c'est simple et là tu fais pareil car (enfin il y a longtemps que tu l'a écris) mais si je me souviens qu'elle était accroché a Spike donc une trahisons de plus, en plus a la fin on sait que la fille va mourrir mais il faudrait savoir ce qui va

Wow! I wished that this story was longer it's so amazing and perfectly in character that I'm actually reading again. The love that Buffy and Angel share is deeply heartfelt and I wished that just maybe that love can save their Mary. Kudos! I'm addicted to your writing by the way.

Wow... Creepy... *shivers as skin crawls* How insane to be raising "Rosemary's Baby" so to speak and love her too much to let her go... It's sad in your version the only way BAngel could raise a child together is at the expense of the world! Wow! I just hope this doesn't give me nightmares!

This is an amazing little story. It is twisted and heart-wrenching but I can see Buffy not being able to kill Mary for Angel at that point in her life. She was broken and not able to take any more damage. She killed Angel to save the world, she killed herself even, but she was not at that point anymore. She no longer had the love to make her want to save it so she never saw the greater good. I would never have thought of that extreme without this awesome story. Thanks for sharing it.

Such a great read! I would have loved to see more of their time on the road.

I liked this, always wondered what would happen if Connor had been a girl. Liked the rapid ageing thing you have going on. I was trying to remember if Spike and Buffy were together at this point and i can't remember, i also can't see cordy being on anyones side other then Angel's. but that was a minor detail.

Really liked your take on it!

This was a very enjoyable AU. Kudos. :D

huh well that is slightly weird but you brought across buffy's maternal love very well. i very much believed it.

that last part, the part about angel wanting her to kill mary was perfect. loved it

i cant say that i 'enjoyed' this fic. but it was certainly a good read. im not a big fan of angst, i usually go for the happy endings. but this facinated me and i couldnt seem to stop reading when i realised it wasnt going to end in an all out good way. but it was very good, i cant say it wasnt. cheers, and keep it up.

I've read this story like 3 times but I don't think I've reviewed it before. I absolutely love this fic. And it's so incredibly painful because the reader knows there's no hope. They might save Mary's soul, but they'll never save their own, and they'll never have a happy ending. It makes my heart hurt. You're one of my favorite authors on this site.

Omg...that was amazing! I can't believe I've never read it before. I love the detail and the story! Awesome!

Disturbing (that's a compliment)and generally well written but I don't think you have captured Buffy's speech patterns and that's vital in a first person story. The actions are plausable given the situation and I'd have to say I would have enjoyed a Fugitive style season with them on the road one step ahead of everybody more than a lot of what really did happen on Angel after the birth of the baby even if it meant getting Buffy and Angel together again and I'm of the opinion that that 'ship has sailed.
