Summary: Season Six, Post Entropy...After Spike's encounter with Anya in the Magic Box, Buffy's not sure if she can forgive him for the hurt that she feels -- until he shows up at her door, needing her more than he ever has before...where do a Slayer with iron walls around her thrice-broken heart, and a wounded, desperate vampire go from here? Who's really to blame -- for what's happened to Spike, and for what's happened between them? And somewhere, in the midst of it all -- can the two of them find forgiveness, and the love that they both need so desperately?

Oh god, can't he just say who did it??? He knows she's strong... Or can't he at least say, "He said he'd kill YOU GUYS if I told," or whatever?? Ack. Poor Spike. He's in a terrible, terrible situation. Can't wait for more!

Wow, that totally slipped by me-- awesomely subtle, that was well done. FINALLY Buffy believes it-- poor girl, that must be awful. And poor Anya! She's totally going to be in a bad position. Really enjoyed the chapter. :) Hope you update soon!

YES. Ugh, poor poor Spike. And Anya! I think my reviews have all been like this, haha. :) But I really like how Angel has been in this fic. His influence as sire is probably pretty important to Spike's recovery. :) Loving this fic so so much, and I can't wait for more!

Awww, I love Giles/Anya! It can be quite sweet. :) But I think I just like Anya happy, so who she's with doesn't matter as long as they treat her right. :) Much sweetness, great chapter. Hope for more soon!

Ohhh, what's going to happen next? Xander seems sort of manic in this fic... I mean, he's evil and all, but poor guy! There's no excuse for what he did, but still... :( Sadness. I bet it's his daddy that he's going to kill or something. Scary scary.

So things are beginning to head into a climax-- another one, haha. But I can not wait to find out what's coming next! I'm glad to see Spike regaining his courage, and Anya's honesty forcing Dawn to see her own immaturity and unreasonable attitude towards her sister. Great chapter, can't wait for more!

AH!!!! TOTALLY UNEXPECTED! Holy crap, you wonderful author you!!!! More soon! Most depressing in the middle, but YES!!! SHE FINALLY DID IT! But I'm just so... BLAH, towards Spike right now. Yes, I understand why he has reasons to be wanting Buffy to come to him-- and she SHOULD. But mixed signals are not of the good! I mean, everyone was telling Buffy that he needed time. And she WANTED to speak to him, but everyone told her it was a bad idea, that her motivations were selfish, etc., and then she took that as she was supposed to wait for Spike to make the move. But it's working out now!!! Ah! Hopefully. :)

YAY! I'm typin one-hnded because my dog is on my arm, so this is going to be shorter than usual, but great chapter! Like the sharing of confidences and honesty going around, and I hope Buffy and Spike will finally get things worked out for good! Can't wait for more!

Yes! Awesome! Well-done, I watched Bargaining the other day and you captured that really well-- much love for this. :) And sadness to Buffy not being there! But much joy for Spike going there, like it's his home. You know? :) Can't wait for more from this. Oh, and I love your title-- it's really unique. :) Update soon!
Author's Response: ::grin:: Instincts are pretty powerful things. And I'm glad you're enjoying the story...I chose the title because the concept of this fic is obviously an alternate S6; more specifically, to show that certain events will happen no matter what, but overall it's the-same-but-different....it's chiral. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Awww shucks. You're just an evil one, aren't you.
Well does the Willow scene make you feel better that it totally inspired a fanfic idea for me? I'll let you know if I get it up, but thanks to both you and Holly. :) The muse likes you guys, haha.
Great chapter, even with all the EVIL. You evil thing, you. :) Love this fic!
Author's Response: Ooh! I'd be interested to know how I (well, we) have inspired the muse! Do tell! Thanks for reading and reviewing, Devin!
Summary: COMPLETE! New summary: Buffy was dumped by her boyfriend, Angel, for being an inadequate girlfriend in bed. Desperate to get him back, Buffy asks her best friend Spike to tutor her in the ways of lust. Will their friendship remain the same as the bleached blonde teaches Buffy how to please a man in bed?

Wow. Pretty cool? This made me laugh; fun teenage awkwardness! Update soon!
Summary: *Updated!* Buffy has picked on Spike for years of high school, blackening his very existence and making life hell. The skittish little guy just takes everything she throws at him and bottles it up. He has, amazingly, found love for her, despite her harassment and valley girl persona. But when Spike’s parents split, he decides to make a few changes, one of which includes having her. All human; set in high school; really angsty at times.

Wow... Spike is so a badass. And yay for the junior english class curriculum! I'm a junior and we read The Crucible, haha. :) And I ruined it for everyone, too! Well, the part about Giles, at least.
Author's Response: Hahaha, I used to always ruin books for the class, too. Really, it's like school's always five years behind. The Crucible is something you should read in, like eighth grade, or at least I did. But I had to read it again junior year. :( And everyone was WTH'ing The Grapes of Wrath because they didn't understand it. :(

Or just walk around the halls the whole period like I know all you kids do
Made me laugh my ass off. 1) Kids totally do that, and 2) that is so a Wilkins thing to say!
Loved the chapter, reading on. :)

Poor Buffy. :( One event can totally change your entire life, and as much as Buffy doesn't want pity, she is going to get it when people find out. You know? Blegh. Great chapter. :)

That's really great... the poem lesson. I really despise the way some teachers do poetry interpretations. D: My sophomore year, we read this poem and my English teacher said exactly what Spike's did, haha. A bit annoying, really; she was quite unimaginative.
Author's Response: Sometimes I think I'm too hard on teachers in the story. But then I remember my schooling, and that thought becomes squished. ;)
Summary: Set in season 7, Touched. On a night when everyone is against her and Spike is her only friend, Buffy finally discovers the truth about herself and the vampire who gave her his soul.
