All that Spike/Faith bonding had me close to heaving, especially the biting, but Faith doesn´t deserve this.
What pisses me off in every chapter is Spike´s attitude.
And it´s starting to get really old, too. What does he need Buffy to do? How much more before he sees what a prick he is being? Buffy is out of control and he is adding fuel to the fire. Just imagine Buffy really killing Faith for basically nothing, imagine Willow not being there in time, it would destroy Buffy. And for what? For the self-pity of one childish vamp who´s behaving like an uber-asshole for 10 chapters now. Argh.... I hope you don´t draw it out for another 10, I don´t think I can take "oh keep the faith, this is going to be spuffy, yes, but it´s gonna take another 15 chapters at least, don´t want to make it that easy....". Have mercy.

Oh great Faith's coming in to put her two cents in , she does understand that the she and Spike thing was make believe and she should butt out at this point , is Spike going to be all over her again to hurt Buffy and make me want to spew?! Looking forward to more and a resolution sometime soon ANNNNNDD
some serious Spike groveling , although the challenge calls for the opposite.

Cool...I was convinced Buffy would try to back out gracefully and let him "be happy" with Faith. Much happier with your way, of course. I love it when the inner slayer gets pissed off. Can't wait to see how Spike handles being "courted."

Wow. Spike can be so stupid. I hope Buffy doesn't just fall at his feet, before his does some major ass kissing.

Hope to see more soon!

This chapter was written wonderfully. I loved the interaction between Spike and Dawn struggling with all the conflicting and intense emotions, Spike finally getting his off his chest, and their words and actions still realistic and sweet, reminding of the relationship they used to have.
I am so glad both sides, Buffy and Spike, realized something might be messing with their thoughts and I hope they work it out soon. I don't know if it's one bad guy, a bunch, a conspiracy with the Scoobies, or what, but I can't wait to see Dawn, Spike, Buffy and maybe Faith and some others go after them. For the mental anguish Andrew put the two through he deserves a painful end!
Great writing and keep it up!

This is getting more and more intriguing. I can't wait to discover who's mucking about with their feelings and memories.

Okay now I feel sorry for Spike, although I'm still mad at him for the way he handled things (the Faith Issue) I hope Buffy and Dawn put him straight on everything and he beleives them. I still think Angel and Giles are behind it all and not Willow.

Now see this is why they should've had Buffy and Spike meet .Leaving us with the impression we got because of her sending Angel away , telling Spike she loved him at the time she did and the whole Immortal thing did nothing good for her character.

Excellent chapter.

I love this. Can't wait for Spike and the rest to realize what's going on. And I do hope Kennedy gets her ass handed to her. That'd be great.

That is a bit too much emotional involvement between Faith and Spike. It really teeters on the brink, namely of betrayal, denial and unfairness.
Good to know that real love doesn´t work that way. Because if it can be killed, it´s not love at all. :-))

I read this update at work and immediately got pissed off. The two of them comtemplating the possibilty of being together was just icky beyond words, ok so Faith was hurt by love too, doesn't mean I care about her happiness, no I care only about Buffy;s att this point and am still very angry at the way Spike is behaving, did Angel convince him Buffy gave him the amulet to save Angel?! Everyone is keeping secrets including Faith and Buffy isnt the only one being betrayed here , Spike is also but because he's being such a shoate , I hope he grovels to get back in Buffy's good graces once he finds out how they"ve both been played ANNDD I know that ponce Angel and that IMBECILE giles are behind it and I hope Buffy cuts them all out of her life once she finds out just how she's been betrayed by her so called friends. GOD THIS FIC IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF, AND THAT MEANS I'M MAD NOT DRUNK ,although I wanna be after reading this chapter. Please update again soon , so I can get even angrier , which I just know is g onna happen until Buffy gives everyone ,including Spike the smackdown they all deserve. AND I HOPE SHE BEATS THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF THAT SKANKY HO FAITH.

sorry for shouting, but i'm very emotional and very angry right now. Update soon will ya , before I go crazy.

Author's Response: Wow, Now that's what an author wants when we write fic. Emotion directed at the story, and plenty of it.
Thanks for the review, and you just keep on being angry, it's the best validation a writer can get.
PS. It will get better... eventualy .

Spike is being such as ass. I realize you are on purpose writing this so we won't like Spike right now, but I'm confused as to why. It's borderline on me not wanting him with Buffy now. When Spike wasn't acting like himself and killing innocent people when he was under the influence of the First, did Buffy go off and take up with another vampire and say, "I don't know Spike anymore?" No, she fought her friends for him and was there for him and believed in him. Heck, she even had the chip removed for him and picked Spike over her watcher. The fact that Spike won't do the same for Buffy when he thinks she is acting strange and at least talk to her to find out what is "up" with her but would rather take up with Buffy's enemy shows that the Scoobies were right all along. He doesn't love Buffy and Buffy's not "the one". He is just obsessed with Slayers and that is just so sad for a story with so much promise.

Author's Response: Hey Wendy, Spike doesn't mean to be cruel, or an ass. He's just gone and jumped too a whole heap of conclusions that he shouldn't have.
The challenge that I answered asked for it so I didnt have much choice, it's the way it had to be.
Dont give up on him, he's just lacking the selfconfidence to believe that Buffy cares.
Remember Spike's best defense mechanism has always been anger. He's trying to avoid being hurt by convincing himself that she used him...It's not going to work.
And the whole Faith thing? big old smokescreen.
Read on, you'll get the picture.
