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

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!

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 :)

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

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.

*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.

I was so excited to see an update! Can't wait for more!

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!

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

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.

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.

Excellent update. As to your being nagged for updates, I think it's time some people sit back and remember that you are taking time out of your personal life to write for out pleasure, and that you are not financially being reimbursed for it. I for one am very thankful that you take the time to do such great writing for us and our reviews are your payment. Keep up the good work when you can.

I'm almost positive I've said this before, but I for one am glad to read any update whenever you post it, whether it be a day or a month after the previous chapter was posted. Don't push or stress yourself too much, dear.

Moving on to the important part: I thought this chapter was great! It told us a lot about just why Buffy stayed with Liam, even though he cheats and abuses her. And it shows what a bastard he truly is: he had to have known she wouldn't read it in detail when she signed it. Plus, she probably didn't have any idea that she would stray from their marriage as well; he didn't need that to ensure her loyalty. What a jerk.

I think it will be great to see how Spike tries to find them a way out of this. Will you reveal just how much Buffy owes Liam?

Looking forward to the next chapter, whenever it might appear!
