I still see the light at the end of the tunnel, but this chapter was tissue worthy. Bravo for not writing it as a qick fix, fall back into your lovers arms type deal. I still am looking forward to the make up, and I hope it is soon. Great job sweety. Your style of writing is wonderful, don't worry what others think, or what they want to read, you're doing a wonderful job at weaving a good story.

GLAD TO SEE THE UPDATE, AND TO HEAR ABOUT THE NEW CHAPTERS. I'M SURE I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE RIPPING MY HEART OUT. YOU WRITE SUCH GOOD ANGST.

cant wait for the rest...

Just read last few chapters and wrote a review which seemed to get lost in the ether somewhere. Love the update and so happy ~Spike now knows why Buffy left him and that he has made a move to talk to her. Thought your skipping over the last 3 years in detail good way to progress the story especially with what happened to Spike. Also like that Eve was such a bitch to Buffy and she put her down so well. Cant see her lasting long if Spike hears that sort of behaviour.

Very pleased flames seem to have stopped - you dont deserve them by any stretch of the imagination. Looking forward tonext update

This chapter was as perfect as perfect chapters go. They got everythin out in the open without resorting to cattiness and low blows...(I personally don't consider his comment about Eve as a low blow, because his tone never made it seem like it was supposed to be)...and they actually came out of that converasation closer then they have been in 3 years. I do foresee many phone calls like that in their future...this chapter gave me hope for them.

Also, I was glad to see Spike have a pair. Its good he learned to live without her, cause thats just unhealthy..(as we saw with how he dealt with their break up)...he should want to be with her above all else, not need to be with her cause there is nothing else. (hope that made sense)

Loved this chapter.

i been reading other reviews and have to remind some that Spike only just found out why they split up, he spent three years thinking Buffy no longer wanted him, of course he tries to move on. Buffy on the other hand is delusional,have her fix things with Spike after all she's the one that broke everything ,let her take a chance and grow up, with this step sibling nonsense . Addie once again your the greatest, and you know i want Woods and Eve gone sooner,like maybe next chapter? please , make Buffy wake up..

Talk about a low blow - Spike getting in the dig about letting Buffy know he is over her and has moved on wasn't good enough - He had to let her know that he just had sex with Eve and that she is asleep in his bed. What a vengeful dig. I think he is still a litle angry at Buffy perhaps? Or perhaps he thinks she is doing the same thing with Robin and wanted to let her know he was just as over her? Hmmm. At least Buffy's "boyfriend" is a decent human being. Not sure what Spike's doing wih Eve.

loved it. loved it LOVED IT!!! i never really thought about buffy being ashamed of what she and spike had. even it was just a little. i just figured that she cared a little too much about what others thought about her and what she did. i never really thought she was ashamed. she never even really tried to fix things with spike. i mean, yeah, they had their problems but problems they could fix. the whole famous thing (messing up his career) that shouldn't have mattered to her. i mean, if she loved him then tabloids be damned! i would have rather her left spike over his drinking and their problems than the career stuff. anyway, great AMAZING job. loved it sooooo much. post soon, k?

you always lose when you call yourself doing whats best for someone else. loved the chapter.

Wait a minute. Spike is with that bitch Eve on purpose? I just assumed he got with her for a publicity stunt that Travers initiated. To tell the truth, this does lower my opinion of Spike. What is he thinking being with a pretentious bitch like Eve? Thinks he can't get any better? Blind to her true nature because of her many "charms"? The company you keep speaks volumes about you - Buffy is at least with a nice man. Not sure what Spike is doing.

yea! Five rough drafts! Can't wait. Love the sub-plot with Robin. I would have like him in the series if he hadn't tried to kill Spike. Very cool dude otherwise. Eve's a bit harsh. Does she get trashed eventually? No, don't tell me. I'll find out eventually. Much love, Sd

Buffy trying to muster up some passion for Robin is just sad. Glad to learn that the aftermath of the breakup was dismal for both Spike and Buffy, but it's great to have the air cleared finally. Buffy should have expected Spike getting into drugs as well as abusing alcohol after she'd pulled the rug out from under him.

cant wait to see what happens next!!
