Oh, no. It looks like we might get my tragic ending after all...

On a side note, I love how Spike has let Dawn read his book. I love Spike and Dawn. One of the saddest things for me with the series was that we never saw Dawn forgive Spike for what he tried to do to Buffy. Dawn and Spike had a connection. Kindred spirits, really. I hope they can reconnect now that he's back in their lives.

Author's Response: I loved their relationship, too. It was very intense in the series because he loved her and resented her and related to her because Spike was an outsider, too. Thank you for the comments!

I just caught up with the last chapters. This story is excellent. Maybe too excellent, because now I'm totally involved with their story and it was agonizing seeing a cliffhanger and heartbreaking thinking that they might lose their baby. Poor Buffy, if she loses the baby, it will be devastating for her. How much more can she take!

I'm glad that Spike is trying with Dawn even if she's an utter brat (ugh!) I still understand where she is coming from. Divorce is awful for a teenager and she is just reacting instead of actually thinking. I don't think that Riley is a bad guy & I can understand him living in the house but it's still so frustrating! It is her house and he booted her out of his life long before. Reading him so homey with Sam made me sad for what Buffy lost out: her marriage, child, and home. I know he was hurt but he needs to be a more upstanding guy and encourage Dawn to have a relationship with her actual Mother. Can't wait to read what comes next. Hopefully soon!

Author's Response: Hey Demona! Thanks for commenting and for reading the story! I can't speak to your insights, or I'll spoil the story for you.

ahhhh...naughty cliff hanger! I really enjoyed this chapter, the interaction between Spike and Dawn was wonderful. I wished in Season 6 that their relationship had remained strong as it was when Buffy was gone. Well...well...well...Riley and Sam. Now he doesn't have to keep his feelings for her behind closed doors--interesting. I hope all is well with Buffy. Waiting for more.

Author's Response: Thank you for commenting and reading! I can't speak to what you said, it will just have to play out.

Your foreshadowing made me think this might happen -- just the title of the previous chapter.

Wonder when Spike will figure out that sharing secrets with Dawn only encourages her disastrously delusional crush.

Wonder if Dawn will ever realize that Riley was having an (emotional) affair with Sam for years before Buffy cheated physically.

Author's Response: It's "The Wasteland," I couldn't go any other way with it! I can't comment on the other stuff, as it will just have to play out, but thanks for reading and commenting.
