I stayed up all night reading this and fell in love with it. Not at all what I expected going in and I just could not stop once I had started such a beautiful and almost tragic love story I've never really seen anything like this befroe and became a overnight fan. I wanna ask for more or stalk your beta reader for more of your stuff do you have your own fic website?

Spike has been falling apart and she knew this whole time but just kinda ignored it that Spike was sending her the money and she just accepted it?
Ok - girl you dont tell a boy where he is at with you and you don't give him any insight to where you are going or if you have a relationship but then when he messes up you shut him down completely? Perfect! writing on your version of Buffy you hit the nail on the head with this. I wil be back for more on this fic it it the best I have read.

My heart rips out for this guy over and over and still I am addicted to this story I keep reading it over and over and over again

Sooooooo good and yet so sadd but still people are changing their minds on Spike just when Buffy is doubting him the most.
Can't wait for the next page

ho poor spike!, and god how could giles do that?!?!?!? please please please update soon!

AHHHH this chapter was amazing! Can't wait for the next! Fuckin' Giles (that was a necessary expletive)!! Bastard (again)! Love to see the immorality (and the rare goodness from some!) on all of the different characters. Really making this a continually interesting read. :) Can't wait for more!

Wow... what a chapter! I called it! I knew that Giles would try to impose his agenda on Buffy! Even so, what a blow for Buffy. Hopefully she'll eventually calm down enough to listen to Spike for once. Lovin the story!

AWWWWW I FEEL SO BAD FOR SPIKE, HE DIDNT MEAN FOR ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN AND ITS NOT REALLY HIS FAULT!! i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. i CANT believe was giles did to buffy, thereby forcing spike to take action. i REALLY hope that buffy listens to spikes side and that spike doesnt do anything drastic. also i REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope that dawn is ok and that everything works out ok and they all end up happy. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING, really this time(jp) to read wat happens next. THANX SO MUCH!!

oh, but you do know how to go for the hurt. Poor William/Spike and poor Buffy too. I don't often sympathize with her too much, but here she's really just been screwed. If anyone else had gotten hurt, she'd have simply dealt with it, but Dawn...I'm all scared now.

Exicting and so sad at the same time with a Buffy conflict coming on at any moment. There is gonna be huge consiquences for everyone involved on this. Please add more soon when you have a chance.

Author's Response: Yes, poor Spike is finally going to be faced with the consequences of his actions. Thanks so much for the review. :)

I love how you keep all of Spikes former William anxiety going even though he's no longer human. What always grabbed me the most about Spike on the show was his "reaking of humanity" and you always capture that.
I love the Spike and Dawn battle going back and forth, very much like a little sister getting in your face and pushing all your button and putting you on the spot. And I think the scene I liked the most was Buffy being worried about her friends and them just kinda wanting to slink off because of Spike now staying there. It's very post teen like behavior where you don't wanna face your responsibilities so you use any other excuse so you don't have to deal with real things. Of course Buffy doesn't want Spike to call them on it because she herself just wants everything east even though to keep things easy she's kinda screwing herself over in the process and letting her friends do it to her.
Spike is always the voice of honesty whether you wanna hear it or not he always puts the truth out there under your nose to smell it.



Author's Response: Even before we really knew who William was on the series, there was always that sensitivity lurking just underneath the surface of Spike's character. It's a really interesting contrast between him and Angelus because, as you said, Spike "reeks of humanity." Dawn and Spike have such a wonderful relationship; I was really angry with the writers on the show when they dropped that friendship because they thought it looked "inappropriate." I suppose I just like making up for their mistakes in this story. Thanks so much for the review!

Gah!! Spike you plonker, she's NOT going to be happy when she finds out.

Author's Response: Oh, she definitely will not be! Thanks for the review. :)

started reading this a few weeks ago and finally caught up-wow such a great story, been riveted with every chapter. awesome job-more please

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm flattered that you feel it is that good.
