The medium thing worked really well as a means of conveying to Angel the worst possible scnario.  This is the point in which he should be looking for outside help.  I don't know, maybe someone or ones who would be just as invested in the situation.

excellent - good writing, love the way you always end on a " i want more now" moment.

Oh no.  I am not happy thinking that Angelass may be the one to rescue them.  I think he'll just try to get Buffy out and leave the beautiful Spike there alone.  More please.
