This could be either a good or bad thing maybe she will see the William still in Spike or maybe Spike will get hs heart tore out again. Either way I'm addicted and want more.

Author's Response: That's great to hear. Thank you! :-D

She knows he is Spike. She wants William. And despite the kisses, the yearning fulfilled when she touches him and his own disability to deny her, he should have listened well as she murmured:
"I just want to pretend for a while ....."

That word 'pretend' encompasses a whole world of pain for Spike; the hurt he feels in his heart and hands at the moment will pale into comparison. For beneath this veiled moment of passion dwells the stubborn thoughts of the Slayer:

"Of course, Spike wasn’t William. Buffy knew that; she knew he wasn’t a man. He was a demon. He was the thing that ripped and tore, the thing that killed. He was what Drusilla had left behind when she murdered William, and he was nothing to her."

She hates the coat: the coat is Spike. Where do they go, from here?

I love her antagonism , her wilful alienation of the Scoobies. Nice change, that - Buffy not allowing them to influence her actions or make her feel guilty. She is just not letting them in. Her patient concession towards Dawn, though, is touching. Her young sister acts as the non-judgmental buffer between Buffy and the almost accustory persistence of Angel and the Scoobies.

Marvellous chapter.

Buffy's going to see "him" who? Him - Spike or William? She can't picture Spike but sees William and she wants to "pretend" which is so not good and Spike wants her so badly. It's almost like Spike's duster is his Spikeness. Buffy hates it, removes it and Spike perceives himself to once again be "the stammering moron". Even in Series 7 he tries without his coat but it seems like a bit of a security blanket. Christ he still reads the same books - Buffy has to see him for who he is. She knew she could hurt William please let her see she can hurt Spike but she shouldn't. Rambling again when all I really needed to say was it is masterful work, I love it and you made me cry - again.

Author's Response: You hit the nail on the head -- Spike's duster is, to Buffy, the symbol of Spike. By removing the duster, she's making it easier for her to pretend that she is still with William. Of course, we know that in a way, she *is* still with William. But Buffy still has to learn that lesson. Thanks so much for the review! :-D

Glad that you are back. And again you write the caracters spot on. This is exactly what Buffy would do, use Spike so SHE gets a break from the hurting. I bet after she will kick him in the head and run away, virtue fluttering. I hope not but.... Great update, hope you will be in the mood to write more soon! Now I go back and read again ;)

Author's Response: I'm hoping not to keep you guys waiting so long for the next update. Thank you for the review! :-D

And you´re getting the same results as the original writers: I feel so sorry for Spike although I shouldn´t do that at all. Good work!

thanks to God your rsta back!
it is sad to see as buffy takes the way to use to spike for sex, she takes the way to dim her feelings with the pleasure
spike by another way, dims its reason with the love that feels by her, plesure also takes the reason far from him, and leaves ihis self-esteem of side, and allows that she uses him
it is good that your musa has returned! I hope that it does not leave vacasioenes soon, this history every day is better

yeah, more story! Poor Spike, going to be used by Buffy. At least Angel is gone, though I guess he made things worse. Tara is sweet, but I wished she didn´t mention that Buffy might have sold her body to live. I wish they would have thought she found someone. And what did Giles mean? As in, she would have used her Slayer stregnth, or maybe get a gig at a circus?

Author's Response: I'm afraid if I answer your questions, I'll end up giving the entire plot away. I'm terrible at selective secret telling, lol. Thanks for the review! :-D

*Bows to genius*. Gah, that was so amazing. I loved how spike seemed to regress back to his former self - all stammering and innocent. That was a wonderful chapter, totally worth the wait. I'm completely hooked on this story. Cant wait for another part! It's just so brilliant! :P

Author's Response: I think you're one of only a handful of people to mention Spike's sudden lapse into William-ness. I'm so glad you liked that -- it was actually one of my favorite parts of the chapter, as well. Thanks so much for the review. :-D

Yay!! Writers block is over. I'll drink to that!!!

But i have a feeling that Buffy playing pretend is not that much of a good thing. She did this in season 6 and look how that turned out. She'll feel better for a little while and the moment will pass and she'll be stuck with confusion...on top of confusion....and probably literally on top of Spike.
Hopefully Spike won't let her run away from him at what they did together, but i have a feeling she will go all alley scene from Dead Things and he'll have no choice to let her go.
The moment she smiled at him when she was kissing him in the crypt had to make some sort of progress in her mind that she still can see the man he was is still inside Spike. I just want her to realize that William isn't completely gone...that Spike in a way couldn't let that man go even if he wanted to...because William's love for Elizabeth.
