This chapter is so fraught with anxiety, eruptive anger and suppressed violence: it feels like the string of all this - this mixed bag of emotion, of control - is just about to snap. The gaping wound in Dawn's stomach is probably the deadly cut which leads to the deadly snap of that proverbial tightly-drawn string.
And then? You certainly know how to keep tension and emotion just on a brink ......
Great
Author's Response: This chapter was so draining for me to write. James says that he was a method actor when he played Spike; I suppose I'm a method writer. Whenever I write Spike, whatever he feels, I feel as well, and as you mentioned, there was a lot of anxiety and suppressed rage on his part in this chapter. I'm happy that the tension translated well onto the page. Thanks so much for letting me know!

OH MY GOD!
Please update soon, honey, I'm shocked and worried here! Loved the update, tho I'm almost certain I'm not supposed to be tearing up at work!
*huggles*
Author's Response: Oops. I didn't mean to make you cry! Except ... well ... I sort of did. It's just that kind of chapter, and in an evil way I'm glad it had that effect on you. ((hugs)) Thanks for the review!

Well, something less than good was going to come of all that. Would appear that the egg thing is over. Probably a good thing. Hope he gets his girl to the hospital, and that Buffy will forgive him. So much suspense, please, update soon.
Author's Response: Yes, there was really only one way the egg scheme could go ... and it wasn't down the path of hugs and puppy dogs. Now for the aftermath ... Thanks for the review. :)

Blimey I was extremely happy to see an update so soon - thank you very much. Still feel so sorry for Spike. He just seemed to be in distruction freefall although I think Dawn's injuries my bring him to his senses. Now Buffy's going to find out what he's been doing and it'll have all been for nothing. I think I'll be reading on with my eyes covered from now on but I stil love this so much.
Author's Response: Spike's good intentions have sent him right over the edge, and he has no one but himself to blame. Dawn tried to warn him, and now it seems she is the one who will have to pay for his stubborness. You know, you're not the only reviewer who mentioned reading the chapter with one eye closed. If the angst is that effective, I'm actually pretty proud of myself. Thank you for the review!

This chapter made me really sad... but the writing is good, and I love the fact that Spike's thoughts and emotions are so overwhelmingly deep, because that's always how I've characterized him in my head. I'm not asking for a spectacularly happy ending, but if they could just end up together? Maybe? Because like someone said before, I don't really see how this could end well for anyone..
Author's Response: James Marsters played Spike with so much emotion I think it would be a crime to just write him at face value as some cocky anti hero. I'm glad you like my characterization of him and that you think it's true to Joss' vision. Thanks for the review!

Oh goodness NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! I absolutely love your characterization of Dawn, but you're torturing me here! Oh gosh. I'm just having so much trouble seeing how this can work out to even a SEMI happy ending. :( But I want one so much.... Spike really changed this chapter, even before Dawn got hurt. But it destroying the eggs was too little too late... Oh no no no no no!!!! AND what happened to the cooling thing?? Sabotage, maybe? RILEY in town? Hmmm? Please update ASAP!!!!!!!! I must know!!!
Author's Response: What can I say? I like torturing readers and, honestly, you guys like being tortured. Right? That's why you keep coming back for more, you little masochists. lol. Thanks for the review!

I have a bad bad bad feeling about this when Giles and Buffy find out and the truth comes out.
Really dont think she's be as upset about the eggs as much as thinking Spike got Dawn hurt on purpose.
Soon more please
Author's Response: Bad feelings are definitely justified right now. Thanks for the review!

OMG! WHAT HAPPENED TO DAWN?!!! DONT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HER PLEASE! NOT DAWN! SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO TRULY CARES FOR SPIKE. IF SHE DIES BECAUSE OF HIM SPIKE WILL KILL HIMSELF! IF NOT BUFFY WILL SURELY WILL!
Author's Response: The sh*t definitely hit the fan in this one, didn't it? I hope you enjoy the new chapter. Thanks for the review!

Ok your spoiling us now with a chapter so soon but I love it. Both intence and made me jump at the ending. Willow so needs a kick in the witch pants or something and Tara tries but only halfway.
Author's Response: Well, you guys always spoil me with your reviews. I figured it's time to repay you for it. :)

Ah, poor Buffy being hard on Spike. But I figured nothing good was going to happen with Dawn following him.

This chapter was absolutely heartbreaking. I felt like crying because I could feel Spike's unhappiness. I was afraid to keep reading after Spike discovered that the eggs were warm. I knew something bad would happen. Please let Dawn be okay. I don't think that is something Buffy could forgive.
Author's Response: To tell you the truth ... I almost felt like crying as I wrote it. Spike is such an emotional character and writing him can be such an emotional experience. I'm glad that feeling is translating onto the page. Thanks so much for the review!

Giles is gonna know where Dawns injury came from and use it againest Spike first chance he gets to Buffy and all the Scoobies will back him with Spike hate
Heres to hoping Dawn can talk to her sister and explain about Spike
Author's Response: Oh, yes. Giles is much too smart not to realize what is going on here. Spike's plan has gone to hell in more ways than one. Thanks so much for the review!

Ha ha ha ha to Spike giving Willow the whats what and Willow just making a face and walking away cause she so knows he is right
Poor Dawnie gerring hurt but then the girl never listens when it comes to danger.
In love with your work per usual
Author's Response: Both Dawn and Spike are incredibly stubborn. He should have listened when she tried to convince him to abandon his money making scheme ... and she should have listened when he told her not to follow him. Still, I think we know who will ultimately take the blame for this tragedy. Thanks for the review!

Spike snap outta it already and tell Buffy what your thinking before it's too late - heck maybe it is now.
Lovely as always in reading and frustrating too cause I want to see inside your head for the next chapter
