I thought this was brilliant. I don't want to read the reviews on this chapter because I'm afraid my heart will break if people gave you crap about it. You captured the core of what drove them, both drove them together and drove them apart. The Angel bit was very well done. I'm in awe ! :)

Author's Response: No one gave me crap about anything, I think I have the kindest commentators of anyone. Thanks so much for reading and for the review!

Pretty trippy dream sequence. Wonder what it all means. And I wonder what Buffy is hoping to figure out with him. In the end, I'd wager that they need each other. Wonder what it will take to get them there. Update soon.

Author's Response: The dream sequence originally was going to go in another story I've been kicking around that I nixed. I'm not certain I should have repurposed the three way/murder for this story. Yeah, I just wrote three/murder. Happily, my mother will never read this. Anyway, in the original story, he and Buffy were having the same dream, except he was feeling everything from her perspective. In this final version, it's just an expression of his insecurities and fears. He's afraid Buffy can never be with him or love him, he's afraid he's going to harm her in the same way Angel did. Hope I am able to explain things in a way that will be satisfying--this plot is getting more and more complex, but I do have a plan. Hopefully, I'll be able to carry it off, let me know if I don't.

Enjoyed the chapter. Although I know most readers don't feel bad when Spike hurts Buffy whether its physically or emotionally. I feel Buffy's pain (as well as Spike's) when he causes her pain.

Author's Response: I don't understand why a lot of people take sides in the Buffy/Spike relationship, I know what you mean. They forgive him quite a bit but her very little, and it bugs me too. The appearance of Dawn was there to remind everybody what she's lost and why she's frightened. Anyway, thank you for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Don't know why you wrote it, but -- don't delete! It's good. I liked the skipping Dawn and Spike's encounter with his demon face, particularly.

I hope he doesn't give in to the demon's urge to hurt Buffy...

Author's Response: It's a bit of foreshadowing and was also intended to get further into Spike's subconscious. The three-way portion of the dream is the impetus for his frustration when Buffy comes down to feed him. He's still mad about it, so he gives her the whole speech about being a broken toy. Glad you liked the skipping Dawn and the demon face. Those were on the chopping block for awhile. Thanks for the comment!

I liked the continuation of sentences every time spike 'woke up'.
The dream he had about them had Angel in it as a thing that was still between the two, just like it showed him Dawn, dead Dawn as a bad result of things in Buffy's past. You wrote it beautifully anyway, so no criticism from me here.
Loved the last part of the chapter when Buffy came down there to him with a basin. she could have simply put it on the floor next to him, but the thought haven't even entered her mind, huh?
Poor Spike. He outed some words that were true in a way and they cut deep into her. I hope she won't hurt him. Loved the 'broken toy' part he said. :)
can't wait to read more..

Author's Response: Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the chapter. That bit about the basin was sort of taken from real life--I've had moments where I try to convince myself that my actions are necessary, when in reality I just want to do something. You're the second person to mention the "broken toy" part. Good to know I'm striking a chord!

I'm so glad you didn't nix this chapter. It was so good. I loved the analogy Spike used of her calling him a broken toy. Can't wait till the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you weren't put off by it. I really questioned my own motives in writing the threesome because I hate sex that doesn't move the plot forward, unless it's just, you know, about the sex. The broken toy analogy was a blatant call back to the earlier scene where she dominates him, pleased that it struck a chord with you. Next chapter you get Wesley; can't wait to know what you think of that.

No, no need for explanations. It makes a lot of sense, at least to me.

Author's Response: I was afraid the dream sequence would be redundant; sorry to have over-explained. At least it had weird sex in it, though.

Wow, intense dream. ;) I feel so sad for both of them, but I can definitely understand Buffy's attitude towards him, considering her past. I enjoyed the part where he said the she made him that way, because I think it rings true on multiple levels. I hope it will cause Buffy to do some self-reflection. Waiting for more!

Author's Response: The fact that she made him was this unspoken, horrible fact that had been hanging over both of them from the beginning. Saying it out loud definitely moves the plot forward. So did the dream sequence make things clearer, more confusing? Did it spell out some obvious stuff that didn't need a David Lynch-like explanation?
