It was brutal but in this story it does make sense that it will go like this. It was hard for Buffy but I think it will be worse for Spike when he's back and remember this.

I'm sorry I haven't reviewed the other chapters but the fic is finished so I'm reading it all in one go, but I felt the need to review this chapter.

I'm usually against rape of any kind and I tend to stay away from rape no matter how good the rest of the story is (which btw, this one is awesome so far :D).

This time however I found it tolerable because a) Spike is not himself,
b) because Buffy, while not enjoying it, let it happen even though she wasn't very happy about it and
c) it wasn't brutal all the way through.

All in all it wasn't very hard to read it because you know that thay love eachother and that the rape was just a horrible consequence of the torture he had to go through.

It's still good that you put up the warning in the beginning of the chapter and I thank you for that because I don't know how I would have reacted without it and it gave me a choice of not reading it.

Apart from all that I'm really enjoying this story and I must say that find it refreshing reading a story that deviates from the recurring plots in the spuffy fandom.

I know that this a very very old story of yours and I haven't read any of your more recent fics so the next part might be unnecessary and if it is, please ignore me but I think it would be nice with slightly shorter paragraphs. It's not all the time but now and then the paragraphs get quite chunky which makes it harder to read and somewhat disrupts the flow of the chapter.

There is something beautiful in the expression of possesion between two individuals who love each other. It is a common idea in the vampire lore so often used in these Spuffy tales, and you used it so well. It is daring to combine the animalistic aspects of this to the taboo that such a similar gesture means in the human world. Bravo.

This is still my favorite chapter of the story. You handled the entire situation with care, and definitely highlighted the areas in which Buffy has grown. I just hate to think, even knowing that I know as to what happens, how Spike will hate himself after this. A brilliant chapter. Absolute brilliance. Brava!

I really didn't think the rape scene was that bad, you did a really good job of telling that part of the story, I'm sure it wasn't that easy, but I really love this story, and I can't wait to see what happens now.

I think this was a good chapter. A bit heartbreaking for what Spike has to go through... But there's hope at he end. And the two Pov's made it clearer. Cordykitten

Don't worry about it, that was nothing. I've read worse than that. I would have been more pissed if Spike acted like himself and did that. I still really love this story and I hope he'll get back to normal soon. Keep up the good work=)

Fantastic Chapter. The primal need and care was very well done. Looking forward to the next chapters. Hopefully Maggie will get hers. Update Soon PLEASE!

It was beautifully written. While in a black and white world that is rape, we live in the grey. Keep up the excellent work.

Well. don't think you're a bitch. It was a great chapter. Besides, Spike's not exactly responsible for his actions, and Buffy could have stopped it if she really wanted to. Please update again soon!

Good chap. Very powerful imagery. If he'd been conscious, fully aware Spike and did something like that and not primal vamp restaking claim it would've been different. Now I just have to wait for the next chapter.

I think you did that beautifully. With "Seeing Red" the behaviour that he was exhibiting didn't make any sense to the character and felt violent and pointless. What you have written here is more of healing and possession. Trying to re-establish who he is and his place in the world. It had the same violent overtones but you never got the feeling of the rage, control, and anger that are associated with the act of rape. I think you did a wonderful job and I can't wait till the next chapter.
