Oh my - so it happened: Spike did loose the soul, trading it for the safety of Buffy. I hope too that Angel won't lie now - like Tasha said. Poor Spike - William is lost now. But I believe that Spike doesn't need a soul to be good. Angel need it not to become Angelus. So who's the better man (vamp) now?

Author's Response: I always thought that giving Spike a soul was just ME's way of covering their six. I don't think Spike ever really needed it to be good. But ME wrote themselves into a corner with all the emphasis placed on it. So Spike had to have one or they couldn't explain why Angel needed it to be good.

good chapter, can't wait for more. see ya

She sooooo better not believe that Angel was the one that truly saved her. Spike gave up his soul for Buffy just as he fought to earn it for her. If Angel tries to take that glory from Spike ... I swear ... I'll stake him myself. {Growls} I look forward to the next update. This was an excellent one. I'm eager to see what happens when Buffy really awakens and what she is told.

Author's Response: You know Angel, he might try...but if you think a Spuffy girl like me would let that glory hound take away Spike's glimmer... don't worry Angel will be smacked but hard. ;-)
