Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. You all have been wonderful! Thank you so much for reading. And now with the replies.

MissQuirky: Ashley, I’m so glad you liked it. And of course Willow and Tara would fight it together! I can’t believe it’s over either, and strangely enough I think I’ll miss it as well. I know I will miss all the wonderful comments! As for another story well, I’ve got an idea kicking around about how to fix the mess that was season six, so we’ll see. Thanks again for reading and all your comments.
The Rose24: Thank you, I’m glad you liked it and thanks for reading.
areslei: Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
VampNo12: Thank you. Your feedback has been wonderfully insightful and has made me consider all options while writing this story. Thank you so much for your comments. As for Tara telling Willow that they were afraid for her, it seemed that they should be. The Scoobies, the core Scoobies that is have all been portrayed on the show as having a deep friendship. In my mind they would have been afraid, not of her, but for her as she fought, especially once they realized that she had a problem. Unfortunately the writers of the show didn’t explore that, but I digress. And yes, I felt it was important for Willow to admit not only to herself but also to Tara that she was afraid. To me, that admission is an important step to her recovery, because it also shows that she has really admitted to
herself that she has a problem.
The action was a little hard to write I had to go back and read it constantly to make sure I was following the action correctly and everyone was doing something. It was a very enlightening experience for me. By having them join and Tara experiencing for a brief moment the pull that Willow faced I wanted to show two things. One, the difference between Willow and Tara’s personality, I wanted to show how two people with similar interests when faced with the same seductive pull made different choices on how to deal with it. The other thing I wanted address was, now Tara would have some idea what Willow faced every day, to give her even more of an understanding. I hope that worked. And yes, I’m glad too that Myra got her reward. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. The decision to have Tracy die was a hard one but ultimately I felt it was the best direction, what with the spell working to a small degree. This has been an amazing journey; I have learned so much from this process. Thank you again for reading and your wonderful feedback. All the great feedback I’ve gotten will make the decision to post another story that much easier! Thanks again.
Nutty Girl: Thank you so much, I’m glad you were hooked! And thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it.
mollyig: Thank you. I’m glad you liked the mantra, I felt that would be so Willow! Thank you so much for reading.
spazz07: Nathan, I’m glad you liked it. And yes there is still work to do on their relationship, the addiction will not be an easy thing to live with, but together they will get through it. I’m glad you liked the scene where Tara gets to feel a little bit of what Willow felt when confronted by the pull of the dark magic, I think it will help when the pull gets a little strong. And I too was sad about Tracy’s fate, I thought long and hard about it, and yes the story could have been told with out that happening but I felt it gave the best ending. Oh my god, I just read what I typed there and it sounded like Joss! Oh my God! Anyway, it was a hard decision. As for as writing something else? Well, umm, not sure, maybe, I might. I do know though that with all this wonderful feedback I won’t be so hesitant about posting again. Thank you for your comments and I’m glad you liked it.
snuggle79: So soon! It feels like forever! Seriously though, I’m glad you liked it. I have enjoyed this process tremendously and you all have been great. Thank you for reading. And maybe there will be another story, someday. And I
still love your avatar! LOL
Miss1234Kitty: Wow, from beginning to end? Wow. Thanks for reading I’m glad you liked it. As for whether or not Glory died, well, I don’t believe she can die because she’s a God and all. Her physical body can die but her essence is forever. Tracy died and in doing so Glory’s physical body died again and now she’s floating around in the nether realms. And there are plans for a sequel as such! Thanks again for reading and your comments.
Tulipp: LOL, I’m glad you liked my ideas and the ending! And you caught Tara including herself in the Scoobies? I’m glad, I felt it was time, mainly because I felt that during the breakup Tara realized that the others liked and accepted her even though she was no longer with Willow. I felt that was a big step for Tara to take. I’m glad you liked those paragraphs, I did too. As for the image of the pull of magic, well, it seems a few people liked it, I guess I got what I was trying to say across. Addiction is such a subjective thing, unless you feel it you really can’t understand it, so I was hoping I would be able to convey the pull that Willow felt. I also felt that it was necessary for Tara to understand what that pull felt like and understand what Willow faced and I think it did bring them closer. Not that it will make it any easier to face the addiction but it gives Tara a different perspective and you are right it brings them even closer than they were. I’m glad you liked the end. Thank you so much for all of your feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thanks again.
Puff: Well, I held up my side of the bargain. Where’s the sequel to your story? Hmm? LOL, anyway, I’m glad you liked it I enjoyed writing it very much and posting it as well. I’m sorry about Tracy too, but like you said it was balanced out by the Glory situation. As for writing more, well I’m
always writing something, and I do have an idea kicking around, so we’ll see. Thanks again.
Xita: Thank you so much! I’m pleased that you enjoyed it. Thank you again for giving us this place where we may post and enjoy so many wonderful stories.
MadeinNZ: Thank you, I’m glad you liked it. As for a sequel, well, hmm, that will depend on what kind of pie did this one rate? LOL. Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to comment I appreciate it.

Great story Wendy, i loved how insightful and supportinve Tara was with Willow when the cravings became intense. They both realise that there is still a lot of work to get their relationship back on the up but as long as they do it together, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. It was great to see Tara get a perspective of what the power that Willow felt whilst she was addicted was like. A better understanding will help her fight with Willow against her addiciton.
. I just got around to catching up and what a great story. Tara having faith in Willow, sigh, and Willow taking strength from that. I love this story with it's blend of action and a wonderful slow reunion. Thank you 
to you
