That is a bit too much emotional involvement between Faith and Spike. It really teeters on the brink, namely of betrayal, denial and unfairness.
Good to know that real love doesn´t work that way. Because if it can be killed, it´s not love at all. :-))

I read this update at work and immediately got pissed off. The two of them comtemplating the possibilty of being together was just icky beyond words, ok so Faith was hurt by love too, doesn't mean I care about her happiness, no I care only about Buffy;s att this point and am still very angry at the way Spike is behaving, did Angel convince him Buffy gave him the amulet to save Angel?! Everyone is keeping secrets including Faith and Buffy isnt the only one being betrayed here , Spike is also but because he's being such a shoate , I hope he grovels to get back in Buffy's good graces once he finds out how they"ve both been played ANNDD I know that ponce Angel and that IMBECILE giles are behind it and I hope Buffy cuts them all out of her life once she finds out just how she's been betrayed by her so called friends. GOD THIS FIC IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF, AND THAT MEANS I'M MAD NOT DRUNK ,although I wanna be after reading this chapter. Please update again soon , so I can get even angrier , which I just know is g onna happen until Buffy gives everyone ,including Spike the smackdown they all deserve. AND I HOPE SHE BEATS THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF THAT SKANKY HO FAITH.

sorry for shouting, but i'm very emotional and very angry right now. Update soon will ya , before I go crazy.

Author's Response: Wow, Now that's what an author wants when we write fic. Emotion directed at the story, and plenty of it.
Thanks for the review, and you just keep on being angry, it's the best validation a writer can get.
PS. It will get better... eventualy .

Spike is being such as ass. I realize you are on purpose writing this so we won't like Spike right now, but I'm confused as to why. It's borderline on me not wanting him with Buffy now. When Spike wasn't acting like himself and killing innocent people when he was under the influence of the First, did Buffy go off and take up with another vampire and say, "I don't know Spike anymore?" No, she fought her friends for him and was there for him and believed in him. Heck, she even had the chip removed for him and picked Spike over her watcher. The fact that Spike won't do the same for Buffy when he thinks she is acting strange and at least talk to her to find out what is "up" with her but would rather take up with Buffy's enemy shows that the Scoobies were right all along. He doesn't love Buffy and Buffy's not "the one". He is just obsessed with Slayers and that is just so sad for a story with so much promise.

Author's Response: Hey Wendy, Spike doesn't mean to be cruel, or an ass. He's just gone and jumped too a whole heap of conclusions that he shouldn't have.
The challenge that I answered asked for it so I didnt have much choice, it's the way it had to be.
Dont give up on him, he's just lacking the selfconfidence to believe that Buffy cares.
Remember Spike's best defense mechanism has always been anger. He's trying to avoid being hurt by convincing himself that she used him...It's not going to work.
And the whole Faith thing? big old smokescreen.
Read on, you'll get the picture.

This is just heartbreaking for all of them. I never did like Robin very much so interesting to see him cast as a cheater here--what a rat! Faith and Spike are too much alike to be good lovers though I can easily picture them as good friends. I don't mind conflict in a fic but too much angst can be painful so I hope that you don't draw it out too long. They will certainly have to struggle long and hard to get back together, and that is as it should be, but the misinformation they have about each other is just painful to watch. I'm not sure if I filled out the autofill correctly (I hate that this has been added to the site by the way) so if it doesn't come through this is Sibb.

i'm not quite sure where you going with this story at the moment. Spike needs to sit an think of what he just said about the Buffy he knows wouldn't do those things. Its been a year but even i don't believe Buffy would change that drastically. i'm being patient but i will be honest and say the whole spike/faith in love thing is kinda wierd to me. Its like he taking the easy road instead of fighting for what he truly wants which is Buffy's love which he has and dosen't know. A cowardly mushy spike has never been my forte. I'm not really liking your Spike at the moment but i believe you will start to make things right soon. i'm waiting til the next chapter.

Author's Response: Oh Nichole, you hit the nail right on the head. And don't worry. Spike has never stayed on the easy road for long.
He's just a little lost, but he will find his way back.
