I have a feeling this fic isn't going to turn out happy. Too many obstacles in the way etc. I'm glad that Buffy is happy with her job though! Great chapter!

Author's Response: There's going to be a happy ending. I've said that over and over and over again. I've got a plan for it!

I...have...no....words... First off, I've been gone nearly all summer. So I'm just now catching up on my reading. And this chapter just blew my mind!!! I *never* expected 3 years to pass!
Amazing job - glad that Buffy has grow up. When Angel died she kinda went off the deep end. I'm glad to see that with Spike out of the picture, she has matured in the way she copes.
I love how you explained her wanting to be a counselor - it brought back to me how sad and pitiful she was at the beginning of this fic.
I'm so excited to see where this story goes next.
Keep up the great work!

It's always hard to read about Buffy and Spike not being together, expecially when we had so many amazing chapters of them being together, but I still enjoyed this chapter cause it brought us up to pace with Buffy's life now!! I can't wait to see what you will post for the upcoming chapters!! Keep up the great work!

I hate that it's been 3 years later and they've had no contact to resolve this. This is extremely devastaing. I hope they bump into each other somewhere SOON and get this resolved once and for all.

Author's Response: I needed to get them out of the emotional state they were in and honestly, I felt like only time could do this. They both needed a little time to grow up and see things from a different perspective before they could try again at building a stable relationship.

Arrrrghhhh, what a prick this Spike is - don't worry, I know you have your reasons. I can't believe he wouldn't keep fighting for her. I do understand why she did what she did, I just hope he doesn't go all diddling with tons of other women in the meantime until she comes to her senes. Great chappy, but so, so sad. Keep up the good work.

OH FOR ALL THE GODS, would Buffy just grow the fuck up and talk to him. Nooooooo she has break up sex. ughhhhhhh I truly want to smack her right now. If she would just talk to him and instead of always running away. She needs to stand up for herself. Spike needs to fight for his woman too. He needs to have his shit together. Ughhhhhhhhh this is so damn brilliant of a chapter I can't stand it. I am so mad,sad and wild with wanting more I can't see straight. LOL You are just too damn awesome.

*sigh* Reviewed before... I so hope somebody will bring Buffy to tell what Travers said and it will be better again. Maybe he will tell it if Spike says they are broken up. Yeah, I believe in dreams. But it is never so easy, right? Now I hope you can update soon because I hope it will get better. We have to wait and see.

Powerful chapter! My heart shattered in thousand of pieces reading it :(!

I am divided between sadness and exasperation concerning our girl. Sadness because Buffy, after all she has gone trough, deserved some hapiness (even a lot of hapiness!). And exasperation because her sacrifice isn't a good solution.

"She'd done this not for herself, but for him, even if he didn't know it".

"This was for the best".

"His life would be better without her in it, and in the long run, once he got over the pain, he'd realize it, too."

So she breaks up because she thinks it's the best for Spike. But how can she know what is the best for him? Spike himself is the only one to know what is the best for himself, isn't it? And it's unfair for him, to decide for his own life.

Spike dreams of a real music career, but it's a part of a bigger dream: share this life with Buffy.

Buffy seems to want to punish herself, and she punishes Spike by the way. And I can't help myself to think she wants to do for Spike what she couldn't do for Angel: save him, in a way. In saving the dream of his life. In chapter 12, when she talks about Angel, she says: ""He died in my arms, and it was all my fault. He was there because of me," and "If he hadn't loved me, he never would've died. I…I killed him".

So I hope a miracle. An explanation between Spike and Buffy. And maybe seeing Quentin getting the the kick in the bottom which he deserves, this last part being not a miracle I hope, but a personal wish...

I can't wait the next chapters, and I have to go, some pieces of heart to collect and restick ;)...

Gasp, sob, tear... My heart is breaking right along side them. Such pain and longing and you do it so very well. I hate that they have to go through this, but love is never easy and I trust that they will find each other on the other side. I loved this chapter and I bow down before your muse. Please, update soon.

LOL! I last 2 whole chapters before I had to find out what was going on! I know Spike's been an as with the drinking and stuff, but ya know, Buffy's decision overshadows that compeltely. Who is she to decide what's best for him? Who is she to make that kind of decision "for his own good" that will affect the rest of both of their lives without even talking to him about it? I really think she's using it as an excuse so she could leave him before he (supposedly) left her. Great chapters. This one pissed me off, but great writing makes induces great emotion.

Ouch. Gut-wrenching. Looking forward to the next update. I know that buffy is partly just trying to help out spike and his band but I think she needs to hear the old saying of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant believe that buffy broke up with spike just because it could ruin his career, he loves her way more than his career. i LOVE this story so much and am SOOO happy u updated. i really wished buffy hadnt broken up with him, they are both heart broken now. i really hope that she talks to him and explains why she broke it off and they work things out. also i hope that spike or buffy doesnt do anything stupid, like hook up with someone else and that everything turns out ok. please update as soon as u can, im dying to read more and see wat happens between them. thanx

Knee jerk reaction...Buffy is sooo stupid. She has to learn to fight for something that is worth it..and her and Spike's love is worth it..

At the same time..I can't help but to sympathize with her. She feels as if she will be a burden to Spike. Her being his stepsister WOULD cause back lash..so her heart IS in the right place. It's a shame that she chose not to talk it out with him..Though the timing of this coming on the heels of their bump in the road makes me understand why she didn't. I hope that SOMETHING happens soon to make things right again! Great update ; )
