That was amazing.
Sad and disturbing, but so well done.

I absolutely adored this story, and actually cried a bit during those last few paragraphs (though I'll admit I'm now on the hunt for something completely fluffy to counteract the feelings of despair this has inspired in me).

One note/recommendation--you should post your work over at Elysian Fields. I do something like 95% of my fiction reading over there, and tend to only wander over here during EF fallow periods. Of course, not not merely recommending this to make my life easier (though it would)--it's a pretty active community over there, there doesn't seem to be a ton of cross-pollination (I think people tend to choose the archive they like best and stick with it) and I think you'd get a number of new, appreciative readers. Just a thought.

Author's Response: I'm not a mean person, but I'm glad I made you cry! It means I managed to squeeze some real emotion in there. As for your recommendation, thank you very much! I've never even heard of that archive, but I'll definitely post some stuff there when I get the chance. I appreciate you telling me about it!

Powerful. There's so much I want to say about your story, but that's the word that keeps coming back to me.

I really respect the authors who make their Spuffy *real*, or, as you said, keep them truly in character.

I also greatly appreciated the quotes you used. Sometimes I feel that quotes are extraneous or make sense only to the writer. Your choices not only made sense to this reader, but resonated.

Thank you. And now off to read your other stories.

Author's Response: I really enjoyed reading this review. I wish I was a talented enough writer to convey my appreciating for your usage of the word "respect", but I can only say thank you very much. I am very happy you found this story powerful. I actually worked quite hard on it. It was emotionally taxing, but when people use words like haunting or "powerful", I feel like it was completely worth it. Thank you again!

Wow. Just read this in one sitting ... it's so sad and dark and beautiful. I loved this glimpse into a side of Spike we don't see much. The passion and despair he's feeling , souled or otherwise, comes through clearly. The ending is bittersweet, but completely believable and in tune with your characters. Really well done.
Thanks for sharing.

Author's Response: Sad, dark, beautiful, and bittersweet are all things I was trying to accomplish with this story. I'm very happy to see those words in your review. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and let me know what you thought!

Sheesh. Those last two chapters definitely had my heart racing. Great work! I really like how you got into Spike's head; it drew me straight into the story. Now...off to read your other works...

Author's Response: Happy to hear it had your heart racing. That's a great compliment. Thanks for reading my story, and I hope you enjoy the others!

I'd just like to say that I second everything you said in the statement you made before you started your story. I've been waiting for another story where the characters seem more "in character," at least in my opinion. Your fic definitely fits the bill. I'll be looking forward to more updates!

Author's Response: I'm glad you agree with me! It's not that I don't enjoy the fluffy stuff on occasion, but I can't write it. I'm very happy you think my story "fits the bill" for keeping Spike and Buffy in character. I will never tire of hearing that. Hope you enjoy the rest of what's to come!

Poor Spike gone over the deep end. Making bad on the best moment of his life, er, unlife. Lovely insight. I hope there's more! Update soon.

Author's Response: Thank you for the insight complement. I do try! I hope you keep reading and are not disappointed. Thanks for reviewing!
