This has to be one of the best Spuffy stories I've ever read. The characters and dialouge are so realistic, as is the story-line. Please keep writing, this story is fabulous :)

PLEASE UPDATE...This story is too good to be left unfinished! Its been 5 months and I'm dying!!!

i should have commented months ago but wanted to tell you how deeply embedded my heart is in this story. the beauty of your writing is astounding and your characterizations are beyond perfect. i have been mesmerized during each and every one of these 66 chapters.

i will wait patiently for any updates to this amazing tale. thank you for sharing this and please more when you can!

Oh my goodness! This is the BEST fic I have ever read! I haven't been able to stop, getting to chapter 66 in three days. I can't wait for the next update!

OMG! Please more!! ASAP!!!!!

It was lovely to see an update of this wonderful story, and what a stunning chapter it is. The tumult of emotions coursing through Buffy was a wonder to read, and I was surprised and delighted at her lack of self delusion. The fault for Dawn's injury lies at both her and Spike's door, whether he's willing to admit it or not.

The picture you painted of this dejected vampire waiting for the killing blow was heart hurting and in character. His self worth is thin, and now he's sitting in the dark waiting to be turned away forever. Buffy actually knowing the right words to break through was en emotionally satisfying surprise. Her stupid vampire made a mistake, but he's still hers. I have hope that together they'll be able to make more right decisions than wrong ones. That's what people do in a marriage.

Thanks for the update, it's always wonderful to see more of this rich, emotional world.

Well, then. That is quite a statement. I loved Xander trying to help her figure it out without being anything even remotely like Spike's cheerleader and not giving Buffy any outright permission. Poor beaten down Spike. Buffy is certainly trying something new, I just wonder what exactly it is... Very powerful chapter. Always so exciting when you update. Looking forward to the next.

yay-so glad you have posted another chapter. I love this story, it has been consistently good and never dragged on like some long stories. Lovin the fact that it looks like Buffy will get to be Williams wife after all

Awesome!

I've been waiting for this chapter forever! (well it seems like that) Such a great story. You walked a fine line with that last bit, I was so unsure of which way Buffy was going to go. Great writing.

The ending was really unexpected! I almost gave up that Buffy would give Spike another chance. Never though she would! If she didnt, i would stop reading this story because frankly im getting tired of all the bashing that Spike got from her and from everyone else in this fiction. Dont want to continue reading something that is sooo depressing.

Thank you for saving Spike in the end. It was very dramatic the way you wrote it. Incredible!

OMFG FINALLY!!!! the entire chapter i thought she was going to be a dumbass and leave him and im SOOOOO happy that shes isnt. i LOVE this story and am SOOO happy that u updated. i CANT believe that shes asking him to ask her to marry him and i hope that they can finally work it out now. also i hope that everything works out well and that they end up together and happy. PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING to read wat happens next. THANX

Finally...she gets it!!!!!!!!! Wonderful!Beautiful! i love this story so much - thank you for updating!

:D :D :D :D :D :D!!!

Man, I think this was like one of the first Spuffy stories I started reading when I started watching episodes early last year, and it's been one of my favorites ever since I started. This chapter just reminds me why that is. This is beautifully written, and lovely. It broke and warmed my heart.
