This is probably the most unusual Spuffy fic I've ever read. I can say that it is "likeable" as much as just absolutely fascinating. I feel sick for Buffy and also for Spike. Their entire life in this dimension has been beyond horrible. I don't always understand exactly where you are headed but I'm enjoying the ride! And I'm looking forward to the update, especially considering this whopper of a cliffhanger. And I'm guessing that Spike had Buffy's soul? Though maybe not. I can't wait to find out one way or the other.
