Ok.  So, I've stayed up all night reading your stories, and am blissfully entranced.  Sitting in my office with stinging, sleepy eyes - it was totally worth it.

And I stopped off to check out your blog - lovely!  
Keep writing.  You are very talented.

Your fan,

absolutely lovely. you somehow manage to carry off things that normally bug me in spuffy. great characterization and the tenderness here in the flashback is so believable even though they were at such a fierce, combative place. they both live with their hearts, really, I don't see how there couldn't be a little coming through.

Loved it. Completely caught the first night and the last night for me. Great little story.

Interesting to see how in both instances he tried to be what he thought she wanted/needed and got caught up in the circumstance. I liked tht he saw that platonic holding made him feel more connected to her than all the sex they had on their first night together

Love the beginning and the end (well, the middle too) but the beginning in the middle so echo eachother, but with such different tone. Very nicely done.

that was intense...very sad, too, the harsh pain of their raw emotions..but in the end,tender and satisfying :)

Hot but much more....touching, very emotional. I think you've captured Spike's thought process perfectly. Really good read.
