Amazing piece.  I agree with some of the other reviewers, Season 6 Buffy was the abuser in the relationship.  She was callous and at times brutal.  I know she did go through a lot, but this did not justify her treatment of anyone, regardless of their own "demons" they possessed.  I loved the information you gave and how you correlated this with her memories.  Wonderfully written.

This was amazing. Dark enough to depress me ( and I was in a good mood too, so good job).
It's good to know that I wasn't the only person who watched season six and was like 'this is an abusive relationship!'. Yeah, Spike could be an idoit (the you're all alone and better than killing a slayer lines weren't his best moves), but when it came right down to it, Buffy was the abuser.
Yay to go writers for making it seem okay that a woman can be the abuser. Apparently in their world, that makes it okay. Yeah, I have issues with season six. Can you tell?

 Oh...wow...wow...

It was beautiful.  Depressing, yes.  But beautiful.

such a powerful and excellent piece - just effective and emotionally strong work at this second reading as the first -

great story and character study - powerful ending, both end up at abstractions in numbers against all the true horrors they lived through - like your ending very much.
thanx so much, love...glad you enjoyed it :P

I was sure that you were trying to make us incorrectly think Buffy was the abused party right from the start. Your lack of pronouns in the abuse scenes pretty much clinched it. I can't imagine you writing a scene like this that truly had Spike as the abuser.
That being said, this was a very powerful, well-written piece. Not usually my kind of story, but since YOU wrote it, I just had to read it. :)
well thanx so much, love, i'm glad you liked it...even if the attempt at a mislead wasn't as effective as i would have liked :P lol..thanx :)

Dark but very good. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who saw, and continues to see Buffy this way.

No, Spike was not innocent. But, nothing happens in a void, and in some very important ways, Buffy's just a bully. Thanks for this.
thanx, love, so glad you liked it...and yeah, buffy was definitely the abuser in that little scenario...

Wonderful dark fic, really well written. It's sad that people will be mourning Buffy and Spike might get the blame for her death, unless her behaviour was caught on one of the hidden cameras that was around that season.

Really enjoyed reading this.
thanx, love, so glad you liked it...seems to me it could have happened :P

Very dark indeed. You know I prefer my happy ending but this was very well written. Nice juxtaposition of handbook on abuse and Buffy's shocked realizations. Appropriate end too even though it's a shame she didn't at least leave a note to exonerate Spike (she even knew they'd think Spike killed her)...sort of one last selfish moment.

I think you've captured her behavior during that time on the money.

thanx, love, glad you liked it :) it was a little sad and dark...and yeah, i felt it was appropriate to have the scoobies blame spike, because that captures their behavior that season as well...using him and then rejecting him as "evil" when buffy came back...

Great self realization of her abusive behavior. Unfortunately for Spike it came too late.

thanx, love, glad you liked it :)
