I'm glad there wasn't an angsty split over infidelity because I always find that hard to believe there is love regardless of. So pour on the angst, though I have to say I have zero sympathy for either of them, splitting without even talking to each other is just dumb. Of course I want them back together because, you know, Buffy and Spike!!!

I feel like my heart is broken.
I feel dead inside.
This means that 1) you're a damn good writer and 2) I am extremely jealous of a fictional character.
I think I need help.
....and I'm about to cry. No Eve. Nooooo Eve for Spike. *sobs*
(This isn't a flame, I love your story, but right now I still feel broken inside. God, I'm so lame.)

A perfect chapter, in perfect continuity with the previous chapter :)!

"Fiat veritas et pereat mundus!" ("Be the Truth revealed, even if the world collapses!)" Now, we have Spike's explanation, and I just love the fact that they are not in front of each other, but that is a phone talk. It adds something, I can't explain, but I think it's stronger.

So, hard, very hard time for Buffy. She learns that Spike wouldn't have let her go if she told him her reasons, what she expected, but that if he would have had the choice (if she would have let him the choice!) between his carrier and her, he would have chosen her...

And the worst, he lived litteraly in hell after she left. Alcohol, drugs, and overdose... God, it's sadly ironic! Buffy was so convinced to save his dream, his future with her departure, but in fact, it endangered not only his carrier, but his life too!

Thinking of Buffy's act, one word, no 2, come in my mind: shameful waste :( ! Not only Buffy, when she left, made Spike miserable, and herself miserable, but for absolutely nothing it seems!

And concerning Buffy's fear about a scandal, I find it funny that it's Robin himself, by his open and understanding behavior, who proves that Buffy was wrong to be so afraid of a scandal...

And in fact, how many people have been shocked by Buffy and Spike's relationship? Only 2: Joyce, but I think it's more because she didn't want to see her so-perfect-little world change (1 husband, 2 daughters, a (step)son, a perfect job, a pretty home); and Riley, a little uptight jealous weasel (sorry to be crude)

At the end, we see a sad and guilty Buffy... Argllll... Truth hurts!

Well, the path to reconciliation (and more ;)! ) between these 2 will need time, work. But hey! Let's hope ;)!

I know I repeat myself, but great chapter :)!

This chapter was wonderful. It was nice to see how affected Spike was by the break up. I want him to tell her that Quentin talked to him too, so she knows he thought it didn't matter.

For the reconciliation, I hope you can squeeze in a moment where the two of them are taking a bath together, that would be so sweet! I can just picture it now with Buffy nestled between Spikes legs and he's kissing her neck and shampooing her hair *dreamy expression* Keep up the excellent work, this story is my absolute favourite.

*Deep inhale, exhale*) That chapter feels like a ton of bricks have been lifted off everything. Glad that Spike told Buffy how drastic & desperate his immediate reaction was to HER DECISION about their relationship. I believe it's something she needed to hear. Hopefully, they can start rebuilding their relationship, if not now, then soon.

Wow, poor Spike. Lots to get over losing his love. Breaks me up all over again. And that conversation she had with Robin, well that didnt quite seem like the whole truth either. Can't wait to see where either of Buffy's "relationships" goes. Another marvelous chapter.

Goes plotting with slinkyPK *gg* Sorry but I thought it was fun :) This time I wasn't ready to write all down so I don't know how long this one will get because the chapters still hurt / makes sad and therefore, because the move so much, my comments seem to get longer ;-)
Okay I was wrong.. Buffy did indeed invite Robin before she knew that Spike would be there. I thought Dawn did tell her before. Yeah I know.. if it had been for me Buffy and Spike would be together by now, madly in love. If it wasn’t so hard to read till it is finished / better aka Spuffy again, it’s better to have longer stories.. if I had my will it would be finished, right? :p Yeah, right.

Wood was sensitive. He noticed Buffy behavior and he asked her, and Buffy an-swered. What I did notice: HE didn’t freak out because Buffy was ‘dating’ Spike who is her ‘stepsibling’. I wonder if it will get so bad like Buffy feared and broke up. He (Wood) doesn’t want to get hurt by Buffy, with her being in love with someone else. But isn’t he right on his way to it? Being hurt? Wood wasn’t grossed out about the step thing. Maybe (hopefully) Buffy will see now that she acted overhasty. *points to not all puppies and rainbows*

What I don’t understand: Buffy said she ‘dated Spike’ for a year. Maybe it’s me missing a definition but she is dating Wood now. Buffy was (is still hopefully, yet to stubborn to acknowledge it) in love with Spike, she was living with him, Spike wanted to marry her ~ I think / I would it call more than ‘dating’. Maybe Buffy is still in denial or she doesn’t tell Wood deliberately. Whatever it is… I don’t like Buffy still dating him, it’s so sad. (See above and ignore me. I now that his name is Robin but I stick with calling him Wood.) like…
Wood: “I don't want to try to start something here with your heart belong-ing to someone else.” Buffy: “Spike and I are as over as two people can be.” and “I didn't want to run back into his arms”
Yeah.. therefore Buffy is crying her eyes out at the end of the chapter.
If I read it right Buffy hasn’t slept with Wood yet. And if she finds his kisses good but not mind-blowing like Spike’s she should think about it more than twice. Be-cause she’ll have to live with second best for the rest of her life. A thing I would hate. It’s time to wake up for Buffy, come out of denial.
This was unexpected but welcome: Spike called. Apparently Spike thought a lot of Buffy this day. I wonder since when he has the phone number (oh it wasn’t a cell phone so he should have it from Dawn, must be her number too).
Oh my.. Buffy wanted to avoid to kill Spike’s career and almost was the reason that Spike killed himself with drugs and alcohol. Oh my indeed. So fame hasn’t 's been all puppies and rainbows for Spike and almost killed him. I’m glad he was able to tell it Buffy. Does Eve know? It’s good to hear that he doesn’t drink to deal with his problems and isn’t taking drugs, but when he said that he learned to live without Buffy it makes me sad. *sigh*
And even more the reminder that Eve is there in his home, probably right in his bed. Why should she be at another place than his bed, in a guestroom? Yeah.. :(
And know he is going back to her. Eve was not the first of his lovers after Buffy but the longest one. I must stop now it makes me to sad to think through it fur-ther.
I wonder if Spike noticed that Buffy cried at the phone.
She was devastated after the phone call. I don’t know what hurt her the most: Spike telling he stopped loving her, Spike going back to sleep with Eve now, Spike not so worried then she was about the ‘step’ thing so maybe her sacrifice was totally for nothing, only hurting them both.
As far as I see it it’s time now for Buffy to come back out of denial, grow up a bit, not to hurt Wood too and start fighting for Spike. Why take second best? If he wants her back… He is not telling if he loves her. The contrary. The way Buffy acts you see that she still loves him but I can’t see yet if Spike does. I only no-ticed that Spike phoned Buffy so Eve didn’t hear it. But you could argue that he didn’t want Eve to be hurt and speak with Buffy without interruptions.

Clings to her mantra *Addie will make it alright and Dawn’s remark: I don't think he loves her. Not really anyway* … very hard. And it got long again, huh? I had to mix what I wrote yesterday evening with the one I wrote this morning and this afternoon. I hope it makes sense. Maybe parts are double, sorry about that. More on Tuesday, right? I’m looking forward to it. In a way I’m addicted to the story like crack lol. A good chapter, Addie, it got me rambling again. :-D

Well, this was quite a surprising phone call in the middle of the night... I noticed that he called her pet and luv again... He had my sympathy when he told her about his time after the break-up. Hope the small steps they are making will go on and end with a satisfying end for both of them.

Furthermore, I'd like to agree to one of your reviewers: Please, try to hurt Robin not more than necessary. You indeed picture him really cute. But I think he already guesses that the way to Buffy's heart will be stony or even unreachable.

Good chapter, thanks for your kind words at the end of it. :)

Yay for more Spuffy interaction, even if it is over the phone. I think it's great that they're getting the chance to talk some stuff out, and I'm glad we got a glimpse at what Spike's life post-Buffy had been. And I can feel myself starting to feel even more sorry for Robin. Obviously, he's never going to be *it* for Buffy, but he's a sweet guy.

And so Spike has learned that he is capable of living without Buffy, but he seems a little miserable doing so. Here's hoping that Eve is soon nothing but a faint memory...

Nice work as always!

That was a fabulous 2 a.m. phone call-- Poor Buffy. Such a horrible feeling to still love someone and see them again. Logically, you want them to be happy with someone else, but it feels like your insides are being put through a cheese grater! You are doing such a great job of portraying the aftermath. To quote the Buffyverse, "Where do we go from here?" I wonder who is going to make the first move toward reconciliation. Wonder if Joyce or Giles will whisper words of wisdom in their kids' ears, or if it will be Dawn who brings them together.

Intense! I am racking my brain trying to think of exactly WHY Buffy even deserves this wonderful guy? She is so "Cleopatra" ... Queen of Denial. (But she's a heck of a lot better than Eve) She needs to crawl over broken glass through lemon juice ... beg his forgiveness and swear her everlasting and undying love for him after 3 years of proving it. (Am I getting carried away ---- I think YES)
I am so hoping for a romantic and happy ending here where B really appreciates Spike and they make up for all of the hurt. (But that's going to take like 137 more chapters ... arrarr) Hey, you can do it, you are the master!

About time she got to know the full extent of his pain. She always just assumed he'd be relatively okay.

I still don't like Buffy. She's a coward. She's too concerned with what other people might think of her. She's self-centered and thinks she has the right to play with other people's lives, "for their own good". God, I hate that phrase.....Anyway, so far, I still don't think she's the best girl for Spike. Not rooting for Eve, either. It would be a girl that's still out there, and really right for where he is now.

Yes, Eve is a bitch. But, I don't see how anyone can fault Spike for dating her. Buffy is the one who left him without telling him why, or working through it. In his conversation with her , he explained what all happened to him after the breakup. He ODed and almost died. Was he supposed to wait around for her forever. Yes, it's too bad they both were (are) in so much pain, but the majority is Buffy's stubborness to tell him the truth. He told her he'd do something else if the scandal ruined his career. Rambling. Very good update and thank you so much.
