wonderful read, thank you. "This is going to change everything." that sounds like the  opening for a sequel.

This was a fabulous read! I loved the snarking between Buffy and Spike. Their voices were perfectly done and I could see every scene just as if it had been an episode of the show. Fun fight scenes, great dialogue. I'd love to see what happens next. Keep writing Spuffy!

The End?? No, it can't be. You have to keep going. Sequel please?? Pretty please with Spike on top?

Great work though nonetheless. And any mention of Spike's 'dangly bits' much appreciated! :-) You got the mixture of snark and softness down to perfection. Wonderful!

Nice hopeful ending to an exciting story.   I hope they get a nice motel for the night and can soak those wounds and sore muscles in a nice hot bath. :)

Great fight!  And a hopeful ending for a deserving Spike and Buffy.  Excellent chapter.

 Sorry to see this come to an end.  The snarkiness would have let to some great Spuffiness, I'm sure.  Enjoyed this fic, thanks.

Chapter Four         
Locked in a bathroom with a crazy vamp, no stake and an injured arm, and yet she still managed to rip his head off - way to go, Buffy!!  Spike was suitably impressed.

Looking forward to them healing together and maybe growing closer?  Thanks for the update. 
I love Buffy just being Buffy by kicking some serious vamp butt.  Glad you enjoyed that bit as much as I did writing it.  Thanks for reading!

You think Spike would go on a road trip with me instead of Buffy?
Enjoying your story.
Sorry honey, but if he's going with anyone else, it'll be me ;)

Glad to hear you like it so far!  Thanks for reading!

The tension is exhausting for them - and me!
Ha, but the tension is what makes it so fun! :D 

Thanks for reading!

Awesome chapter; can't believe the fight scene, that was amazing!  Really enjoy the tension between your B & S; can't wait to see more!

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it!  The fight scene was a ton of fun to write.  After writing it, I'll admit that I was very satisfied and my first thought was 'crap, now I've just raised the bar for my grand finale fight scene.'  So hopefully you'll like the closing chapter's fight, too ;)  Thanks for commenting!

Love Spike in this chapter!  He said all the right words without really knowing it and took a chance despite the possibility of a bad Buffy reaction.  You really showed Buffy's vulnerable side and the beginnings of her death wish well!  The hotness in the car didn't hurt either!  Best chapter so far!

So near then so far away!!  Wonderful Spike voice.

Lovely. Strange to say, but I'm kinda glad they didn't have it off in the car. Just seemed too rushed. Nice work.

You have the characterization of Spike an Buffy absolutely on target and the UST is amazing!  The way Spike was talking to Buffy brought tears to my eyes...that could have so changed the way things went on the show...

I got so excited to see this update and love this story!

He was a golden net and she was caught, well and truly snared, no matter how she tried to fight it.

This line was wonderful, and the rest of the writing is so descriptive and well done.  I love the buildup of tension and the dropoff.  It feels authentic to how Buffy would react.  Spike's characterization is great, and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Somewhere along the line he'd said something right for once.

I love your Spike, writhing in shame, fierce and frantic and such a man-child.

Great chapter! I am glad that you are letting us see what Buffy is feeling inside and why and love how perceptive Spike is about her and her emotions...She has issues but don't we all...

I can't wait for more!
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the next chapter ;)

You do a masterful job of describing the tension b/n them; I'm practically on the edge of my seat; can't wait to see more!
Excellent! And thank you :) I'll try to get that next chapter up soon.

I like the way you've got them bickering all the time rather than jumping straight into bed as happens in so many fics. It wouldn't have been believable at this stage. More please.
Glad you like it. Things are gradually heating up between our two heroes and definitely hits a boiling point in the next chapter, I hope you'll like it.

Yay update!! Love all the tension and the almost kissing and bed shenanigans...This is going to be great! Good work!
Glad you appreciate the slow torture I've set our two heroes up for ;)

Really liked this chapter! There was a lot of insight into what Buffy's going through and a lot of perceptive Spike. Like how Buffy is slowly changing, trying to be a little kinder to Spike in light of the things he's done for her recently.
I'm glad you like how things are progressing thus far. Thanks for commenting :)

Welcome to the hellcar. Nothing like small, enclosed places with loved ones.

Can't wait to see the road trip shape up. *grins*

Looks like a typical start to a typical Spike and Buffy assignment. Sniping, griping, and snarling all around.
