Uh-oh...I think I understand why Buffy's so upset...because according to Xander's definition, she's the abuser in this situation--or at least that's how I'm interpreting it ;) Warren's abuse of Spike made me sick--he is one twisted puppy and I sincerely hope he dies gruesomely somewhere in this fic. That being said, I'm enjoying this fic because it's so amazingly written and has a fascinating plot. There's also an excellent contrast between Warren and Spike, simply because Warren is souled and human and Spike of course is a demon, and coming straight from committing the one crime that pretty much ensures damnation no matter what society you're in...I'm not enjoying this in a fluffy kind of way, but more in an emotional workout, "This is so good it might just make me cry before the end" sort of way. Kudos =D Oh, and I love readers who review every chap too, lol.

Author's Response: You completely interpreted correctly :) Buffy's got a major wake-up call before the end of the story, just starting now.... Yeah, in this fic i'm kind of going more for emotionally jarring and a little disturbing than warm fluffies... so I guess your reaction is a good :) thanx for review

More please
