"she wanted him too" should be "wanted him to"

"This was Willow, who she’d know since she was 12," s/b "This was Willow, whom she’d known since she was 12,"

I would like to thank you for your reply. Yes, I do have problems with some of the things Joss did with the show. One of them being is that only seem like Spike had to be constantly thrown under the bus and Buffy only got a little slap for the things that went wrong in their relationship in season six. I also know that these aren't the same characters from the show. Of course I get that. This is fanfiction and all. I was just trying to make my point across that isn't always men who are jerks and women that are the only ones who get hurt from relationships. Which is what I always see when it comes to AU Spuffy fanfiction. They make Spike into this biggest jerk while Buffy is this sweet innocent girl. Lots of time I always get writers say that Spike wasn't an innocent on the show. Yes, of course he wasn't. He was a vampire. But if you want the truth. Spike was always loyal to the women who love. He was the guy who did anything for love. He did everything for Dru when he was with her. He did everything for Buffy when he was in love with her. He was love's bitch. He made mistakes on trying to be someone good. He said some things he shouldn't have said. But that is too be expected from a vampire who is trying to be good and not have anybody really believe in him. Spike made be snarky at times and crude. But he really wasn't a jerk to the women he loves. He was a pussy cat when it came to the women he love. I just never really like it when a writer told me that Spike is a jerk on the show. Spike may be a lot of things on the show but being a jerk to the woman he loves wasn't one of them. I'm not saying that you can't write Spike as a jerk in fanfiction. But to say that is like his character in the show is just not true. In this story you made Spike into a man who just is an ass. First, he doesn't keep in touch with Buffy because he is too busy with his own life. Then he cheats on Dru. Then he ends it with Buffy. Then the Harmony situation. Which is why I was disappointed in this story. It just seem like all the other stories where they have Spike being an ass while Buffy is the innocent woman who gets hurt by a man. Just another all men are jerks and all women are innocent type of story. I don't know if I will continue. I do agree that you should write it on how you feel it should be. I would never tell a writer on how to write their story. So, I hope that you didn't think that. I just wanted to let you how I felt. That I'm not one to read stories where Spike has to beg Buffy for forgiveness. Cause I have it too many times on the show and I have seen it too many times in AU Spuffy fanfiction for my liking.

Yes it's angst but it's very well written and I'm definitely sticking with this story until the end. I hope they get a happy ending eventually but not a cheesy one =D looking forward to more

I hope Willow isn't coming in to do some Spike bashing and be all opinionated and try to convince Buffy not to have a relationship wit Spike. Can't wait to see what happens next . The Harmony episode was icccky and i'm glad he stopped..I agree with your ststement to a fellow reviewer , yes he cheated on Dru but it doesn't mean he will on Buffy, this chapter clearly showed that. This is terrific writing, i know when a fic tee's me off as much as this one, it's good. Just don't let a few negative reviews convince u otherwise . Your doin good kid.

Author's Response: Thankyou very much, I really appreciate your review :)

Spike must be in love with Buffy a lot when he tried to slept with Harmony right away, at last he stopped. That does only show that there's a danger that Buffy can't trust him when things get difficult, he's weak. Can't say I love this Spike a lot at the moment.

Love this story, keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Thanku very much!

i don't know how they can go up from this, i hate your spike so much right now, the jackass, i never thought i would say this, but i hope buffy finds someone else. this man is nothing but a jerk, even if they do end up together at some point, he'll probably just cheat on her, it's what he does apparently, and knowing he had a random thing with harmony makes me lose any respect for him i might have had left.

Author's Response: I don't believe in once a cheater always a cheater...yes he cheated on Dru twice, but he cheated on Dru, not Buffy...he and Dru loved each other, but they weren't right and part of him knew that...I have a lot of sympathy for Spike tbh, maybe more so than Buffy, I think he's really hurting and he's a different person to her so obviously deals with it in a different way, and I don't think its any less healthy than her way...
