Great update, glad Spike came to the rescue, well kind of rescue.
Thank you. I think Spike will always come to Buffy's rescue. :)

How that's going to hurt Buffy. Those words are not something she's willing to hear. Glad everyone's around to help. Reading on, thanks for the exciting chapter.
Buffy's really going to find out who her friends are. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Oh, {sniffles} Poor Spike and Buffy. Damn it! I want Angel in the breeze. Stupid jerk. Poor Buffy having to know that Angel will not only be saved, but that Spike's death is what will save Angel. I'm running to the next chapter.
Hee! My job here is done! Everybody wants Angel blowing in the wind. *evil cackle* Glad you enjoyed and thanks. :D

GRRR!!! I really cannot stand Angel/Angelus whoever he is this time! Stupid idiot PTBs. Don't they know Spike is soooo much better than Angel? Spike and Dawn better not die!! I really hate Angel!

Oh, and I can't believe poor Xander. I mean, I feel so bad for him and I'm sooo mad at him. Look, now you've got me all conflicted. lol. Awesome job writing his character though, its very believable.

This is an awesome fic! I started it today and I'm completely hooked. I read the entire thing straight through and I can't wait for the next update. This is amazing!
Hee! I'm glad I've got you grooving with the Angel(us) hatred. That was the plan :) And Xander is really in a bad place right now.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review. It's really made my day. The next chapter won't be long as it's with my beta and we're not far from the end so I hope you keep enjoying. Thanks once again. :happy author:

I love this story. You do beautiful work.
Thank you; I'm so glad you're enjoying and thanks for your kind words. I update here and my site first for all my stories. The next update won't be long, it's with my beta. Many thanks for reading and reviewing.

well at least they managed to stop that...i think i'd rather see angel dust than saved though...he's evil soul or no soul...can't wait for your next update!!
I sense you're having a hard time with Angel. *giggles* I'm so glad! I wanted people to dislike him intensely. Thanks again for reading, I'll try not to disappoint. :)

Well this is fun, Buffy ready to kill Angel well you gotta love that.
Yeah, what did she say? "nobody messes with my boyfriend." Well, it's about time Angel found that out first hand. Thanks for reading, much appreciated.

I am so delighted that this is being updated again! I went back to reread and et the flow going. Lovely update.

Everyone is in character and Angel not being that different from Angelus is shown clearly to all (even tainted blood aside).

So typical of Spike to see himself as unimportant and yet be willing to do what is asked. Just lovely peek into his being (cause even without a soul he is like this).

Please do continue.

Thanks Kathleen. I'm glad you're enjoying this story - it's so dear to me that sometimes it's hard because it takes a lot out of you to write angst. My muse seems to have no problem with the PWPs - can't think why. :)

Anyway, thank you once again. I appreciate your words, especially coming from somebody whose writing I really admire. It means a lot to me. Thank you.

great update, but angel dust would be so much better. probably not for your excellent fic, but for my own selfish joy. thanks for the read.
Hehehe. Yeah, Angel dust seems to be the plea from everybody. Maybe....;)

Thanks for reading and reviewing, much appreciated.

LOL you feed my angel hatred soooo well.
I knew you'd like this chappy. :)

Just for you! Thanks!

I'm sure the Wankers That Be have plans they aren't telling...still, poor Spike always has to make the sacrifices, maybe because he's always willing to in the first place.

What could be so important that they still need Angel to do?
Spike has the heart of a hero so he'll always end up doing the right thing, despite his blustering and snarking to the contrary. That's why we love him so.

And the PTB do have plans for Angel. Watch this space...:)

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

oh yay updatey goodness. I love this story...please please please update soon.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my meanderings and the update will be as soon as my beta can get the chapter back to me. Thanks again. :)

I just discovered this treasure tonight and had to read the whole thing. It is so good. I can’t wait for another chapter.
Thank you so much. More will be very soon, and the story is drawing to an end. I'm so glad you enjoyed and thanks again.

Excellent update! More More!
Thanks hun! More very soon :)

02/25/2006 06:31 am
OMG! Any hell that can be dished out to the PTB on behalf of Spike should be served up painfully and slowly. Is this rotten fight with Angelus part of the trials? More soon please.
Thank you for reading and yeah - the trials are about to begin. I think the PTB have underestimated people's regard for Spike, that's for sure. Glad you're enjoying and thanks.

WOW Deb! I've missed the last few chaps and just now caught up. What action! Having Cordy back into the mix to trade barbs with Spike is great. The Faith/Buffy tangle during the Angel/Spike battle was great. But Buffy has always been stronger than Faith; however, given the stress and the Faith's motive, I guess I could see Faith overpowering her for a bit. Still... the lesson we learn here kiddies... don't fuck with Willow! oh and Harmony (from 2 chaps ago) is still a doofus.
Hi hun. Thow thanks! I know that under normal circumstances Buffy would so kick Faith's ass but with the fretting, the emotion, the lack of sleep - I think it would be safe to say that she'd be distracted at the very least. And besides..I needed to make the point. :)

Willow is awesome when she's fully powered up and I love to play with her. And Harmony - well, she's such an airhead, but funny. Glad you're enjoying, and thanks again. :)

Whoa! Powerful, exciting new chapter! I love Spike's acceptance of his role - and Cordelia's understanding that his love is worth more than Angel's posturing. Will be anxiously awaiting the next chapter.
Thanks hun. I'm glad you've enjoyed. More very soon, it's already with my beta. Cordelia sees more than people think, and I always figured she was a sucker for a true love story. :)

Gah! This is my favorite story on this site thus far. You're the reason why I joined Bloodshedverse; you and this story you're writing. It's incredible.

I can't wait to see the rest of this story unfold.

~Desiree
Wow. I'm truly speechless. Thank you so much; I just hope the rest of it doesn't disappoint. Writing makes me happy and knowing that you are enjoying makes me so much happier. I'm honoured that you've taken the time to read and review, and it is appreciated more than you know. Thank you.
