What a phenomenal chapter!!!! I am so glad you're back, I've been really missing this story. And I'm glad you're okay! Head injuries are serious business, I'm glad it wasn't worse. Lovely job as always. I can't wait for the next part!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Sorry it took me so long to get it posted. :)

Great as usual. Doesn't sound forced to me at all. I wish I could write like you. Keep up the great work.

Glad to hear you are on the mend after your accident. I

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you don't think it sounded forced. I think my problem was that I fiddled with the chapter so long I stopped being able to gauge its quality. Luckily, that bout of writer's block seems to have ended. :)

Ooh, yay, and update!

I thought that it was a nice chapter, and although there was no Spike, it was still really good. I liked what Angel said about Spike in the end. He's so much more mature now. :) *happy dance* I wonder if Spike'll go ahead with his soul-mission.

Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. :)

I am so glad you are back. I really thought that you had abandoned this story and that would be a HUGE shame. I'm very sorry to hear of your accident but am very glad you're writing again.

So when will Buffy come to terms with the fact that she wants Spike just because and not because of the mythical claim? And when will she realise that Spike really doesn't need a soul to make him good? And will she listen to Angel who I have to say appears to be firmly in Spike's corner and pushing Buffy in that direction? OMG Angel - pro-Spike!!!

I can go to bed a happy camper now. Keep safe and keep writing - truly fab.


Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I can understand why you would be worried that I abandoned the story, but I promise you I will never do that. I'm seeing this story through to the very end ... and hopefully, I won't go AWOL on you guys again.

You updated! You updated! *dances around the room* You updated! Thank you! I LOVE THIS STORY!! I had given up all hope you'd continue... ah well, always try to fall next to the horse is my motto. Hope you're alright, sweety, and of course the horse as well! This chapter was also great, although I've got the urge to beat Buffy over the head, but who hasn't? I knew he would go and try to get his soul, being as totally broken that he is. Maybe we'll read about that soon? Oh and I think you did a great job with Angel, making the poof almost likeable, while still being his broody, moody self. Pretty please, don't make us wait too long?

Author's Response: Oh, the horse came through the ordeal just fine -- I broke his fall! lol. Thanks for the review. (((hugs)))

Ah but that's where Buffy is wrong, the reasons why he claimed her. And he never expected to have the whole story blown in his heart.
Loved Angel's last words "The fact is…if Spike wants his soul back... if he's actually trying to find a way to retrieve it... that pretty much says he doesn't need it in the first place."
Buffy still things a soul to be the solution to all her and Spike's problems, huh? Can't rightly see it *points to Angel's words*.
~ And good to see an update today. Loved it.

Buffy's emotional turmoil is beautifully written. Spike has done terrible things, and she needs to wash her hands of him, but the bond they've forged is too strong. There's enough guilt to give everybody a share, so I'm glad all this anguish isn't being placed solely at Spike's door. Buffy is even self awarre enough to see her role in this, too.

Angel's arrival was a surprise, though his news really wasn't. Spike really came clean. He probably needed somebody to talk to, or maybe he was hoping Angel would stake him. Whatever the motivation, Angel's take on the situation was eye opening. So, the claim is a myth. Buffy's feelings aren't manufactured, they're her own.

Angel may be right about the soul, but Spike needs some kind of monitoring system to stay on the straight and narrow. I hope he finds a moral compass everyone can live with because this separation is probably killing him.

I'm delighted to see more of this rich, emotional story. Thanks for updating.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was afraid, after the long delay between updates, that maybe people would have lost interest in the story. I'm so glad that you haven't. :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was really nervous posting this chapter, because no matter how much I edited or rewrote it, I couldn't seem to get it "right." It's a relief to know that it didn't disappoint. ((hugs))

Hey! Hello, you alive?! Need more here!

Author's Response: I'm alive. I'm sorry for being AWOL so long, but I suffered a head injury and it took me a while to recover. I was riding my horse, Chance, and we took a turn too fast and and he fell on top of me. Having 1000lbs land on one's face is definitely not good for one's Muse. But I think I'm finally back on track now. Thanks for your patience and for the review. :)

In the last two days, I did nothing of my nights but read this brilliant piece of fiction. At first I thought it was completed, because, 63 chapters is simply so long and you'd expect the author to run out of plot.

Yet yours isn't achieved yet, and I love you for it, yet I hate to have to wait for more.

The plot so far is amazing, addictingly so. The whole "and how will -that- turn out" question as the reading goes along, the very way feelings are expressed... You ought to know this is probably one of the best fics I've ever read.

To be quite honest, my favorite things of all good things in here is the relationship between Spike and Dawn. For some reason, it's always the detail that will make me adore a story. Yours is strong. I love it. The way Spike cares for the small sister, the way she can see through him- from the beginning. I mean, okay he loves Buffy, more than he likes the sister. But I enjoy the SpikeDawn friendship more, I'm guilty to say.

Perhaps because Buffy behaves like a righteous bitch at times.

I'm also glad to see Spike turning to Angel. I don't particularly like Angel... but it seems so very promising, you know? What can the poufster do about it all?

Hm. I think I'm running out of babbling, sorry to say. I'd go on with my shallow and unoriginal feelings, but chances are, you might not want to hear it. I have no word of advice either- heck, if I knew how to improve such a breathtaking piece, I'd be a grand author, wouldn't I?

Nothing but praise for you, really. I hope to see more coming soon-- take all the time you need to make it as delightful. I, however, wish it doesn't take that long. How selfish of me, huh? xD

Keep up the great work! (I do wonder how much left there is... mind indulging in my curiosity?)

Author's Response: What a lovely, well thought out review. Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying the story. To (belatedly) answer your question, I think that I have about three chapters and an epilogue left. I'm not sure whether I'm excited or sad to be so close to the end. :)

Wow, I came across this story at Elysian Fields and read all that was posted there. Seeing that it hadn't been updated since Feb, I hoped that you were updated somewhere else and fortunately, you were.

This story is so good and I can tell that its going to be a while yet before its over, but its really amazing so far.

Thanks for a great read on a stormy day and I cant wait for the next update.

So you know how addicted I am to this fic, thought I should mention I pasted this update to an MSWord doc and saved it in my phone to read while I was away on an AWESOME island, cuz I didn't have the time to read it before I left.

I cried again, no surprise there, and I loved each and every moment (well no surprise there either! lol)

Didn't see it this way but it's right: Giles could have stopped it. Too late now. Things were done.
~ And now I'm sad to see that Dawn saw it coming. Spike's try to help has blown in his face.
Didn't expect Spike to go to Angel and wonder what will happen now.
