I have always loved your writing and your fics, and i love this one also.. I really hope you can get out of this "slump" cuz i am super excited to read the ending of this story... I love the friendship connection that buffy and spike have... it seems that angel keeps getting worse and worse and meaner to buffy... i could see him doing something so bad to buffy that she runs to spike for comfort. I can see it being a type of tihng b/t spike and buffy that starts out not being spoken about.. like the passion just happens w/o words and then they snap back into their daily routine of "being friends"... for a while could work cuz they are scared of anything more, but the passion turns to something more.. idk if that was what you were looking for bu your comments, but that is how i could see the story going... i love how you've written it so far... i'm sure any idea that you come up w/ will be AWESOME... good look.. and if you need any more reviewing of your chaps--- email me, the_one_1111@excite.com.
