liked it very much. nice chapter!

Buffy's Hell is so creepy, all the empty buildings, no people, surrounded by a river of blood *shivers* I love your descriptions , I can see ot all in my mind. Liked that Spike had a reflection ,

OMG what an evil cliffie !

Loved it , more soon please !

Wow! Very powerful chapter! More please!

Surprised that Spike was able to drink blood.. but undertand why it was there and a torment for Buffy.

So, is Buffy on the eternal hunt to kill and protect. Hope she recognizes Spike or that at least he is able to free himself if she doesn't. How crazed is she?

Enjoyed the update.

After all we've been through - three hundred years no less - and you leave it there! Oh Holly, please update soon!

*bites nails*
Poor Spike. I hope that isn't another trick and Spike really reached her.
What kind of hell will Buffy live in... looking forward to find out.

So, we get to see the real Buffy next chapter? I'm excited!

Oh, gosh! I'd read the first chapter of this when you first started posting, and maybe one other, but I've been away and just rediscovered this fic. Holly, you have definitely done it again! I've always loved your style of writing, and I can't even begin to express how much I love this story. I love your Spike, he truly, truly shows Spike's state of mind after she jumped off of the tower, it's startling really. He's not the whining, woe-is-me character that many of authors portray from that time, but truly a man willing to do anything to protect the ones that he deems as 'his.'

I just had to tell you how much I love this story, and what a nice surprise it was to see how far along it was.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! for sharing your enormous talent with us,

Ah man! You can't leave us there, you can't! Well...you are but it cant be for long! You must update. UPDATE!!! Finally we get the good stuff....or perhaps not good stuff--Buffy's hell. But then again it's Buffy and I've missed her. And 300 yrs for Spike? Man...he must be hungry for her.

Excellent story! I love plots where Spike battles through Hell to win back the love of his life. And Larry's kinda funny, I dig him. Too bad he's gonna have to go back to the filing room, 'cause skeleton or no, Spike's making it out of there with Buffy. Looking forward to more awesome chapters!

Spike is the one with patience here. :)
He endures so much.
At last he still remembers, so nothing is lost yet.
And now he is free... (As for the scoobies, they know that several hundred years can have gone by. Therefore hey are worried.)
Last time Spike was heathly but hungy after the test. I wonder what it will be now.

Gah. i seriously dont know how much more of this i can take. ou are mean :)

Brilliant chapter. A storyline all on its own and so well-written. These hundreds of years and the spirit is indomitable amid the decay and isolatiion. A provocative message there, methinks. Anyway, he's falling out of the web and now ...... what? The Buffy in his head is spot-on; almost cruel in her honesty but not once does she shy away or show disgust at what his outer shell has become. Despite his horrific form she still urges him on towards her, the real her. And although we are led to believe that this miraculous girl is all of Spike's making, I wonder ........?

Fantastic.
