ARGHHH! My God those two are so frustrating. They can never just sit down and talk. they just go on misunderstanding each other. Buffy needs some serious therapy..she has PTSD and can't stand to be touched, but doesn't realize it. And of course Spike just keeps blaming himself and drowning in guilt. :( Oh I'm just so sad for them both.

I hope that Buffy doesn't decide to leave, cause I think Spike will let her go.
The Bot tried to help bless her mechanical little heart, but she really doesn't know how and made it worse.Buffy,TALK to Spike please. And the same goes for Spike...stubborn, adorable vamp.

Great chappie once again..my heart is still broken, I'm sure your evil muse is enjoying causing all this pain. :)

Looking forward to more, and some lessening of the misery.

*hugs sweetie*

Author's Response: Hey AMI! Yes, she definitely has PTSD and she doesn't realize the signals she's giving Spike. And he, of course, is trying to be understanding and give her space and not frighten her ... oh, you guys! It just breaks your heart!

Oh yes, my muse is dancing his happy dance! Oh my goodness! He's really, really happy! @_@ heehee.

the misery will get worse from here for about 1.5 chapters, then it will get better, so hang in! Love you, sweets! {hugs}

Those two have perfected the art of tearing each other to shreds because of misunderstandings. It would be amazingly impressive if it didn't suck so much! They make me want to go on Prozac! And the poor Bot, trying to help, but not so much. Hope they come around a bit the next chapter. Or get really, really drunk. That sometimes helps with the truth, too. (Even when you'd rather it didn't!) Update soon!

Author's Response: Yes, I felt badly for the Bot - she so wants to help, but she's not quite getting it. Drunk could help ... too bad I didn't have them pick up some whiskey on their way. Stay away from the prozac! The cure will come here, BR ... no worries! Just hang in. Thanks so much for reading and staying with me through the angst! {hugs}

Please have Buffy confess more to the Bot tell her things that will make since to Spike when he needs to find answers. But mostly after the things Buffy's been through I hope its her that puts the final smack down on Mr. Wetworks slime. She needs to even if taken a life would normally be considered life changing in guilt. I think she needs to feel she hasn't lost her power.

Author's Response: Hey, Blue Eyes. There will be confessions later so hang in there! As far as the smackdown ... the Wanker will get what's coming to him and Buffy will have the chance to do her worst. How she asserts her power will be the question... :) Thank you so much for reading and always stopping in, Blue Eyes! I do love hearing from you!!

:( poor bot. so sad, I'm guessing its just gonna get worse x I love it please continue it just let it end in the right way even if it gets worse before it gets better xxx love this fic xxx Lilly xxx

Author's Response: Hi Lilly! Thank you so very much for your kind words and support! It means so much to me to know people out there are enjoying the story! It will get worse, but I promise better. :) Thank you again!!
