The hospital scenes were richly detailed and very entertaining. Spike confronting the nurse, shirtless and angry, was glorious. He's got every right to be proud that it was his shirt that staunched Buffy's blood flow.
I, too, wondered about The Gem's impact on Buffy's injuries, so I was delighted you addressed just that. Spike's concern was beautifully written. His anguish and anxiety until knowing Buffy was fine kept the tension high until he finally saw her for himself.
I loved the interaction with Joyce. Even with the gang's warnings ringing in her ears, she's grateful to Spike for saving Buffy. The hug was warranted and wonderful.
Spike going under the knife with the gem on his hand makes sense, but his lack of a moral compass has me concerned about choices he's going to make in the future. Killing Parker was a huge mistake. How is he going to rein himself in during other confrontations?
Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter.
Yes, it's going to be difficult for Spike to rein himself in. He's going to have to find a whole lot of demons to kill to get his violence in. And we know he's going to make a lot of mistakes with Buffy.

Spike's self-discipline is quite admirable! Hee! Poor vampire, trying to control his temper. I'm glad Joyce thanked him. I loved that he thought to test the ring on a human. It's such a smart thing to do, all for a good cause but completely insensitive to the poor victim. For some reason that interaction feels very much in character for Spike at this stage.
Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad you liked that part. I had fun writing it.

I really liked the inner monologue in this chapter.
I wonder how long he'll be gone for.
Author's Response: Hi there. Thank you. I'm trying to improve and add more inner thoughts. Not easy for me to do, so I appreciate your encouraging comments.
Spike's in love; he won't be able to stay gone for long. :)
