Just found this fic and figured I should go ahead and mention that it's fantastic. Well-constructed and brilliantly written.

I have read both of your other stories and I enjoyed them immensely. I can't wait until you finish "To the Power Born" but with 2 deaths in my family this year alone, I understand the whole time off to take care of the ill. Your family will be in my prayers.
I have been pleasently surprised so far with Soul Mates. As an avid martial artist for over 20 years and an Army combat veteran, you can imagine how much I enjoyed your other 2 stories. Soul Mates is in a class all it's own. I can only wager a guess that it continue to enthrall me as I keep reading. Even the chapters that don't have the "smut" grab my attention so much that I don't want to stop reading.
While I was serving in Iraq I bought the complete Buffy series. Reading your stories I can picture in my head what I'm reading on the screen. You use terminology that I think the characters would have used and your use of descriptive terms is outstanding.
What I'm trying to say is that you are a fantastic writer. And as a fan, I look forward to reading more of your work.

I'm really surprised that it's been so long since I revisited this story. There were only a few chapters, the last time that I read it, and I guess it must have slipped my mind. So it was a pleasant surprise to wander into Buffyverse and find it there. I've always thought of Willow and Tara's relationship as something quite... Sweet, I suppose, but not entirely interesting, as it's usually written. You drew me in entirely, though, with the first chapter and I was absolutely hooked. Adding Xander was a very cool twist, and I love what you've done with their relationship. I love, too, that it didn't work, just like that, but that they still think about it and worry about it. A relationship like that *is* something that has to be worked hard with, to keep a balance, and you've brought that out nicely. I'll definitely be back to read the rest as you post it.

wow very very sexy....nice chapter!!!!!!!!1

Hey there, only about half done with the story, but Wow! It's really really good! I love writing Xander, he's so fun, but never had anything like this! Hehe. Then again, mostly an Rper and it's hard to get 2 people willing to do something quite like this. It's a beautiful thing though, really! Specially as it's not just, 'Hey let's do it.' but there's actual and honest to goodness feelings in there as well!

I can tell you put a TON of time into this, and it really shows. You have great characters, and I'm looking forward to reading more tomorrow! Couldn't quite make it through tonight...I am a guy, and well...can only go for so long...hehe. Just about to get into them telling everyone about the relationship and really looking forward to it!

Would love to hear what you had in store, or just what kinda things you were thinking about writing! :D I've only wrote one story...had it on here a while, but it got deleted...may re-up it as it wasn't horrid and hey, had 5 comments, lol. Anywho, just wanted to say it's awesome! And would love to hear from you, but if not, know that you've got one more fan!

Hi! First off, I gotta say I like your story as a whole(Xander's got it pretty sweet). The personal thoughts of the characters are really well captured. Oh, and the sex scenes, really kick ass. I have a couple of problems with your writing. One, I keep seeing Willow and Tara laughing at Xander's jokes even when they're not really funny. Two, they think almost everything he says is adoreable. Almost EVERYTHING! Nobody's that cute. One thing you haven't touched on yet is jealousy amongest the three. Trust me, a relationship like that will have jealousy issues. Regardless of all that, your series is an enjoyable one and I look forward to the next chapter. Thanks a bunch!

Howdy!

Damn fine little story you have here. I'm positive I read the first few chapters as a one-shot ages ago, somewhere. Thoroughly enjoyed it, too! So you can imagine how excited I was to find 28 chapters of it here.

I love the way you capture their individual thoughts on the relationship. You switch from one to the other without it becoming confusing, or hopelessly tangled in its own plot. The sex is awesome, too. And its actually erotic, not just total PWP. While that has it's place, this story needed something...deeper. Which you have provided. Exceptionally well, I might add.

I think you could have gone a little deeper into the reactions of the other Scoobies, however. Spikes' reaction would have been truely memorable as well. Still, with Anya re-appearing at the end of the last chapter, the fits gonna hit the shan I think. I hope you continue this on this site. I would very much like to see more in the future.

A wonderful fic. Well done! T

Huzzah! After a long hiatus, "Soulmates" is back!

Delicious cliff hanger with Anya's apperance there. It'll be interesting to see how she reacts to the news of Xander's new relationship.

I gotta wonder though, what has she been doing ever since she broke up with Xander? And what has brought her back to Sunnydale?

I eagerly look forward to the next excellently written installment of the life and times of my absolute favorite threesome. Love, heartache, betrayel, maybe reconcilliation? Who knows.

And though it probably won't happen, I'm hoping for some smut at the end of this arc... simply because Ravenhawk writes hawt smut.

Thanks for giving us a new chapter!

Great Story!

I'm especially grateful for how you handled a real adult relationship even if it is unorthodox. I was a little surprised at first when you had Willow lay down probably their most important ground rule, no sex without all three being there. As much as I am a romantic at heart, I know that those three had staved off a lot of the troubles that arise from those kind of relationships with that very simple rule. I also liked that you showed a lot of genuine love, affection, and heat between Xander and Tara. It would have been easy to have it all X/W and W/T, but it wouldn't have felt as strong and complete as the way you showed it.

I would love to read more of your writing if there is any place that you post besides AFF.NET.

Thanks again,
Paul

Ravenhawk,
Really enjoying it thus far. I understand you can do requests? How about a demon or magical effect where an illusionary event occurs wherein there is an orgy with the scoobies? And maybe Oz, Joyce, Giles, Spike, etc. All illusionary, but all of them partake and feel the emotions. Might provide you some drama later on also. If not, most anything you write will suffice. You are awesome.
