Fred's reaction to Buffy's wild claims was delightful, and Buffy having a friend when she's hurting so badly is a real balm. Spike feeling remorse about letting her go without explaining the claim is also soothing. Buffy would have been happy to find Spike at the entrance to the library, but she was feeling particularly weak and vulnerable.
I'm looking forward to how Fred affects Buffy's flagging spirits, and how it affects her reaction to Spike when they finally meet up again.
This was another entertaining, well written chapter.

"He needed her to know he was near.
If she knew, she’d know he was coming for her. That he had found her as he’d promised."--A tiny bit glad that he's hurting, too, but even more glad that he's concerned that she may think he wasn't coming. Love how their thoughts run parallel.

Oh, yay! An update!
“I think you might be the only person I’ve ever met who’s gone from ‘zombies’ to ‘medical breakthrough.’” --So funny and so typical of Fred to be thinking that way.
I'm glad Spike has found her.

LOL an update indeed :) (J/K, I know you were busy)
Loved the conversation between Buffy and Fred. Fred got a lot of surprises (news).
Spike is so near now yet so far, he hasn't found her yet. Even if Buffy is willing now to be found to end the pain. ~ Looking forward to more; loved it :)

You're back! Yes, I know, I know about that other story, I should know, I'm just as much caught up with that as this ........ I just LOVED the chapter before Buffy left; her turmoil, his knowing and the dreaded, most poignants letters for each other to find. Hers, so short, so succinct, with just enough to see her but not enough to savour. His, kindly and generous in his giving her leave without quarrel and giving her money with which to do it ....
And now this chapter. Buffy finds a safe haven but still she aches. He finds her hotel - very quickly - but he waits. And aches.
Your ratcheting up the tension very nicely. Or cruelly, even.
Love the inclusion of Fred. Great. All of it. Great.

I sincerely do not know how you do this ... write such wonderful yet very different pieces. I mean, in certain chapters of each story, I can totally tell that it is you authoring. But much like a talanted actress, you really have this ability to change with each story. It is awesome.
I have missed reading SF. But Echoes has been on my mind so much. I do believe it to be your masterpiece Holly. I find myself wishing that it could be made into a movie ... wouldn't it be the most amazing prequel to BTVS? It is so powerfully written, it would just blow everyone away.
This chapter of SF was wonderful ... love the introduction of Fred. Always love Fred!! She and Buffy would have been an interesting mix ... as you so wonderfully showed us here. Fred the rocket scientist/brain/sweetheart and Buffy the experienced/dutiful-yet-tired/skeptical girl.
Again, thank you for sharing your talents with us. You really are amazingly gifted. Kimmie

OH I can't wait till He finds her. And everything that she tells Spike, it might help if Spike is there.

You're right. There was shock, but that was followed closely by a huge grin. =D
Really excited to see this update! And I'm sorry I haven't caught up with Echoes yet, I've been away on vacation and I haven't had the time. Hopefully I will in the next few days.
Really looking forward to more on this. And can I just say? You've totally nailed Fred. The way she talks, her personality, spot on. Kudos. ;)

Gosh, I love Fred. :)
And Spike needs to thump some good sense in that blonde's brin when he finds her......Buffy loves the martyrdom. Loves the misery.
