Very hot chapter. I am very scared what will happen when Liam finds out. I hope Buffy doesn't panic at William's declaration !Great update! Thanks!

Oh, dear... I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and I didn't think it was going to be this one... I was thinking more along the lines of Laim finding out.. Wow, whats going to happen next?!?

They're sooo happy. I can't believe Liam is gonna let them be though. He has to know or he will soon. I hope they get out okay. Update soon please.

I feel for them both. Can't wait to see how they are going to be together without Angelus around. I know it might not be soon.
love your stories. more please.

I don't normally read WIPs but I have read all your other work and loved it. I've been eyeing this one for a while and finally borke down and read it. I LOVE IT. Those people who flame you for the way your story goes are off their rockers. You have me captivated from beginning to end to to be continued. I am frequently up really late or late for work cause I can't stop reading your fics. Please keep it up. Don't let RL kick your butt and stop you from writing. You have a gift :D

Yay! Thanks so much for updating. :) Being crazy-busy and having a nagging muse is difficult, so I'm amazed you find the time to do it at all.
On a completely different note, I really like the direction this storeyis going. It's rare that any Spuffy fics deal (believably) with the real world issues of economics and domestic abuse. As much as it pains me to read this storey, the complicated delicacy with which you interweave all of these concurent sub-plots is simply amazing.
I suppose if I were in Buffy's position, I'd find a way to either change my identity or have Liam die. So it's probably a good thing I'm not in her position, kuz I'm a really bad liar, and I'd probably get caught. :)
Updates are appreciated whenever you can! Thanks, and good luck. :)*

Great update. I'm glad to see that Buffy isn't just going to use Spike anymore, and that they're going to continue their relationship. Hopefully Spike can find a way to help Buffy out of this mess. Can't wait for another update!

William can do nothing but be the hero. I suppose it's all he knows. Got to save his woman. Very much looking forward to whatever comes next, whenever it comes. Working has this nasty tendency of taking a bit of the fun out of life. Hope things calm down a bit for you, and I have no problem waiting. :)

I love this story and I'm happy whenever there is an update. You write wonderful stories so I know why people want more asap but I would rather wait for a quality chapter. Thanks for taking the time to write and post :)

Hey Addie!
Very glad to see an update! Very interesting pre-nup. Liam's a bastard, that's for sure. Hopefully Spike can save her before too much damage is done.
As for the carpal tunnel, I may have something that can help with that. I'll email you about it. ;)

I hope everything starts to look up soon! It sure sounds like things are tough right now. I just wanted to let you know that I'm still reading AND enjoying this lovely little story of yours. Much love

Breath a little there. We are all willing to wait. It is a great story and you doing a smashing job.

Oh, Addie, not carpal tunnel!!! I strongly urge you to take it very seriously. That means you may have to update even LESS frequently. I'm on year 4 of recovery from a similar work-related condition. Believe me, it haven't been a picnic. I hope you'll forgive me for giving you unsolicited advice. But I've experienced what it means to have to stop working as a result of a work-related injury.
An ergonomically correct work station can help a little. But there is no substitute for taking real breaks and giving your body a chance to nourish and renew spent tissues. The single most important thing you can do is take regular breaks from work. Make sure they are REAL breaks. Don't stay at your work station and make personal calls or check your email or shop online. You need to step away from your desk. Go for a walk; get a drink of water, anything that takes you out of the position and physical environment in which you work. Do a few stretches - especially upper body stretches and, if possible, do something that boosts your heart rate at least briefly. Go up and down a couple flights of stairs, walk around the block, run in place, it doesn't matter. The severity of your injury is in direct relationship to the duration and intensity of your work. Your muscles and nerves need time to rest and regenerate after periods of extended use. If you overuse a muscle, joint, or nerve long enough it may need weeks to recover. Overused extremities send stress messages to your body that result in the production of adrenaline – the “fight or flight” chemical. Over time, flooding your system with this chemical is very destructive.
Okay, sorry for the lecture. It was a great update.

With Buffy's confession, there actually seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Now Spike and Buffy can plan rather than wallow. Thanks for the update, especially in light of your author's note. I look forward to more whenever you can find the time and inspiration.

*hugs* No I really can't help your stress or cure you. I just can and will continue reading when you're updating as long as I can / have internet access.
Buffy is afraid to name what they have? Fears it will go away.... But she spilled the secret now. Buffy was very naive to sign that paper but just because she trusted Liam. Our law has a clause when something is "immoral" ("Unconscionable", "ordre public"?) the contract isn't binding, it is void. I'm not sure it's the same where Buffy lives but I'm sure if there is she doesn't now of it. She would need a very good lawyer, ready to fight against Liam.
It's a huge task Spike wants to do, saving Buffy. A good plan; almost at last. Spike forgot Liam. How long till he'll find out? And it seems Spike has to earn a lot of money.
Looking forward to read more; when you're post, I'll read.

Take care of yourself first, the stories will be there. Thanks for the update.

Date: 05/01/2007 - 05:52 am Title: Chapter Twenty
I was so excited to see an update! Can't wait for more!

Date: 05/01/2007 - 02:18 am Title: Chapter Twenty
Sorry to hear you are so stressed out.. I, for myself, am just happy to find an update here and there (and today was spot on since it is a crapppy crappy week for me)... and I am happy too that you are not giving up this story (it is too good). that's enough for me!
So thank you.

Date: 05/01/2007 - 12:38 am Title: Chapter Twenty
Very nice to see what it is that ties Buffy to Liam. And of course he wants to save her~ Love that about Will. Great update!

Thank you for updating this great story. I can't imagine the pain you are going through; I am captive audience on your tale. I keep wondering where you will take us. Take care of yourself and remember I will wait for updates.

Date: 04/30/2007 - 10:53 pm Title: Chapter Twenty
its a great fic-hope that you feel better . people are eager for updates because you are good. updates will happen when they happen and you wont loose readers in between. you are a really good writer -hope you feel better :D

Date: 04/30/2007 - 10:46 pm Title: Chapter Twenty
Good update, I really love this story, can't wait to see how Spike rescues her, it doesn't seem like it will be easy. Thank you for keeping up the writing, I am a greedy reader who loves fast updates and doesn't always consider that a writer has a real life, sorry. Just wanted to let you know that your efforts are appreciated.

Date: 04/30/2007 - 09:58 pm Title: Chapter Twenty
Wow..that prenup is ridiculous. I always knew he was a bastard. I hope he dies in this fic. Yes, bad, I know, but he deserves it. He deserves worse really. he should be poor.
Sorry to hear about carpal tunnel syndrome. Take your time. If you wear yourself out, I'll never be able to read anymore of your wonderful works of art.

Date: 04/30/2007 - 09:53 pm Title: Chapter Twenty
I am glad that Spike became better balanced individual. William, although sweet, needed to toughen up but early stages Spike was a bit of an ass. Now he has got himself juuuust right. Update when every you can. Don't overstress youself.
The germaphobe in me has to say that ,although I always love Spike and Buffy sharing a bath, it gave me the heebiejeebies thinking of them using the bath tub at a sleazy motel.

I'm sorry that RL is getting in the way of your writing (hehe, only *slight* sarcasm there=P) I hope that you don't feel you are writing only for us; hopefully you are writing for you. You are a talented writer, and I love reading the plot lines and the emotions from the page, but i understand that the rest of your life is busy.
Thank you for another wonderful update.
