This is a wonderful story, and I'm very glad to see an update. I especially enjoyed her admitting to herself(finally) that she loved Spike, and of course Spike still loves her, but you've captured Buffy's insercurities perfectly.What's patently obvious to everyone else, she just can't see...................... Poor Buffy, always the weight of the world on her shoulders........she needs Spike to give her the balance she needs in her life in order for her to be happy.................. They are so similar. Both are full of passion and life,full of insecurities, brave and just plain bull-headed at times. The perfect match for each other.......................................... On the big bad side of things...................... the reason for the sickness seems to be found, though we still don't know if there's a mastermind behind it all........and the plot thickens::)) I just really hope your building to a reunion for my two favourite characters.......Loved it when Buffy realized it's not the same if only one is in love, that was a big step towards maturity for her............one could wish that the comics followed along with your particular ideas for Buffys' and Spikes' relationship........he's always been her equal, now he just needs to be her acknowledged partner.............Great story, great writing (as always), Loved it, and I can't wait for more::))

Plleeaaassee Give us something, soon you have got to make it a little more loving and not so "Spike don´t love me anymore" :)
