Chapter Six         
This was a completely beautiful fic. Wow. 

Oddly enough it kind of reminds me of Xander and Willow in "Grave". Buffy continously hurting Spike and Spike ignoring it, just continuing to advance saying "I love you, I love you" until finally she breaks down and cries and accepts his love. 

Not suggesting there's anything romantic between Xan and Wil, just saying.
Again, phenomenal.

What a terribly sad story - read this one long time ago - it does not seem right to say I enjoyed it because it was difficult to read from start to finish.  An excellent character study.

Chapter Six         
Okay, you made me cry.  Dammit. *sniffle*  While I don't get the cable channels I'd need in order to see this in an episode, the depth of Buffy's pain and self-hatred felt so real, and the way she finally realized that she was taking it out on Spike - and his willingness to.... gah.

I'm all flaily and not with the words right now.  Poignant.  THAT's what I was looking for.  This was just achingly tender despite the rage and violence.  Very, very well done.

Okay, so I read this a long time ago, but I reread it recently and I'm trying to leave comments. :)

Love it! There should be more Spuffy BDSM. Cause it's hot. Like this. *nods*

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Execellent chapter.

Well, Buffy had the reaction of disbelief and anger I expected after last chapter. I really love how the things Buffy said were clearly directed at herself even though she said them to Spike and that he understood exactly what was going on with her at that point! I felt the ending with Buffy realizing that he does love her and she feels something for him even if she can't face it yet was really genuine in the context of this fic. Excellent job!

Excellent DOS, as usual.

Chapter Six         
*Sigh* I love the fact that you always give Spike that hope, that promise of an eventual happy ending with his Slayer; even if things aren't perfect now, there's the chance that they might be. It's better than the show ever gave him!!! Awesome story; can't wait for you to start something new! *Author shakes her head sadly at the never ceasing demands of her rabid fans* LOL!

Chapter Five         
First, let me wipe away the tears I couldn't help but shed for the pain they clearly both feel. As much as my heart aches for Spike, it surprisingly aches more for Buffy b/c she's not nearly as self-aware as Spike or as honest with herself and everyone else. If she ever actually realizes that just b/c SHE can't or won't love doesn't mean that Spike can't or that he can just stop b/c she wants him to hate her as much as she hates herself it will be, in Spike's words, a bloody revelation! Can't wait to see her reaction to his final words!

*sob* God, Spike is amazing; the love and devotion he gives Buffy, even when she does nothing to earn it, even when she does everything in her power to destroy it; *sniff* just gotta love that vamp! *Sob!* PLEASE update again soon; I'm dying to see what Buffy does next! *Sniffle!*

Chapter Four         
This Buffy is completely nuts, right?

12/29/2007 06:39 am
Chapter Four         
Wow Buffy can be evil when she wants to be, and I'm sure there's more of the same (or worse) to come! I'm not sure this is going to end quite like either of them expect it to...

12/27/2007 03:03 pm
Chapter Four         
Gee, it's hot in here!
hehe...thanx, love :)

12/27/2007 01:49 pm

thanks for the update.
glad you enjoyed it :)

Chapter Three         
covering his mouth with hers - see this is where Buffy always gets herself in trouble. Trying to get Spike to shut up. I notice that she doesn't mind if he calls her love when there's a massage in the offing.
lol...yeah, she oughta know by now she cant really shut him up :P hehe...thanx, love, glad you enjoyed the chappie :)

Chapter Three         
Definitely liked the Spuffy interaction here. Great chapter, love.
thanx, love :)

Chapter Three         
Buffy spends so much time in the land of "De Nile" that she should really consider buying property there. Her world is going to be turned upside down when she realizes that she can't push Spike away no matter how hard she tries. At least our poor Spikey knows what he's getting himself into.
yeah, he knows what he's walking into here...but he may not *really*...we'll see...thanx, love :)

12/25/2007 07:53 am
Chapter Three         
oh I hope that you aren't going down a dark road here...
well, it'll get dark...but not in a really bad way...mostly in a kinky, sexy way :P hehe

12/25/2007 06:29 am
Chapter Three         
Buffy, the no so secret dominatrix!
hehe...thanx, love :P

12/24/2007 07:29 pm
Chapter Three         
mmmmm cock ring.... me wantie! And I thought it was you that wrote another ficlet like this where Buffy has a night of smutty goodness with Spike, trying to show him 't that he couldn't love her and then when she sees he doesn't give in, she feels all bad about it, etc
yeah, i did write a similar one, though it was slightly different...Trusting You was where Spike told Buffy he trusted her, and Buffy didn't believe him, set out to prove that when it came right down to it, he wouldn't...she initiated the encounter and it wasn't really about whether or not he loved her...
but it was another story about a sexual challenge...so some similarities, but this one will come out a bit differently than that one did...
thanx for your kind review, love :)

12/24/2007 05:57 pm
Chapter Three         
*Gulp* That's about all I can say. Hot chapter. If you don't update again before Christmas, I'll probably have a stroke. But no pressure! :lol:
hehe...we'll be updating the day after Christmas, actually :P thanx so much, love, so glad you've enjoyed it so far :)

01/06/2008 07:14 pm
Chapter Two         
Not so keen on doormat Spike, I hope he has some sort of plan!

12/25/2007 08:12 am
Chapter Two         
Well that was... unexpected! It's kinda nice to see Buffy admit, at least to herself, that maybe Spike can and does feel the way he's always insisted he does. Can't wait to see what anything entails... but I don't have to. Next chapter...
thanx, love, glad you enjoyed the chapter :)

12/24/2007 06:29 pm
Chapter Two         
Okay, now we getting to the good stuff *pulls out bag of popcorn*
hehe...yeah, next three chappies should be pretty ... er...interesting :) thanx, love ;)

12/24/2007 05:16 pm
Chapter Two         
This is intensely sick - not the bondage deal (okay that's sick too) but Spike's willingness to give up his whole personality(?)or whatever makes him the person he is in order to feed Buffy's sick behavior. Excellent.
sick but excellent, huh? :P or was that sarcasm on the end? can't tell online...as for the bondage, kind of depends on your perspective...but what spike is doing is not surrendering who he is, but just giving himself to her totally, loving her unselfishly, determining to give her whatever it is she needs to get through the time she's going through...yes, it's a risky endeavor, but we'll see how it turns out :)

12/24/2007 04:26 pm
Chapter Two         
OMG!! OMG!!! *flails wildly* There's more!!! There's more!!!

Mmmm, Santa, I've been a very good girl this year. Can I have a Spike just like the one in this chapter for Christmas please??? Yours truly, Avalon
hehe...get in line, love...thanx so much, love :)

12/24/2007 02:49 pm
Chapter Two         
*Gulp* Ok, so Spike probably looks pretty hot in that outfit *wipes sweat off forehead* Yeah, probably. Can I have him for the top of my Christmas tree?? Who needs a poofter - I mean an angel - when you can have Spike gift-wrapped in leather?? YUM! Love this story; can't wait to see more, and LOVE the fat updates! Please more before Christmas??
hehe...yeah, he definitely is yummy, isn't he? :D thanx, love, so glad you're enjoying it so far :)

Chapter One         
Poor desparate utter in love Spike - but kudos on the dynamics for Buffy's anger and hatred - she could be a total self-righteous bitch in S6.

Chapter One         
Maybe helping at a distance will go down better - grovelling doesn't suit.

12/26/2007 09:36 pm
Chapter One         
Interesting start. Cant wait to get to the next chapter. Loved the avid details that made me picture Spike, nearly destroyed by her words. She can be such a bitch.
thanx, love, glad you enjoyed the first chapter :)

12/24/2007 06:11 pm
Chapter One         
You write the best anguished Spike ever!
awww, thanx, love :)

12/24/2007 05:11 pm
Chapter One         
Bitchy Buffy is in full force. Looking forward to see how you dig her out of this hole.
should be interesting :) thanx, love :)

Chapter One         
*Sob!* Poor Spike! God, I love your stories; I think I'd read your grocery list if you ever decided to post it! *Cheese...eggs...milk... Fascinating, please update again soon!!! LOL!*
Seriously; love the new story; can't wait for more; you are cruel cruel cruel to put up a new story practically on Christmas Eve, although it's a helluva Christmas prezzie!! Merry Christmas to one of my favorite authors!
awww, thanx, love, you're so incredibly kind :) *hugs* glad you enjoy it so much....we'll be updating very soon :)

12/24/2007 11:37 am
Chapter One         
Very good start. Loved the way he always call her 'love' here. Hope it isn't too angsty.
well it's definitely going to be angsty, but i think you might find that you like it anyway :)

12/24/2007 11:14 am
Chapter One         
You know, I'm foreseeing much nail biting and longings for next chapters if you two have gotten together ;)

Awesome start, can't wait for more (as usual :P)
hehe...we have indeed :) should be interesting...the rest of the fic will be posted after Christmas, though we've posted up to chapter 3 at this point :)

Chapter One         
I'm seeing a pattern here, which is why i have a hard time reading your stories. buffy is always such a bitch, and spike gets treated horribly. if i wanted that, i would check out the dvds. i guess i was hoping for a little more happy since this is a christmas fiction, but i don't know if i'll be reading anymore.
okay, this may not be what you like to read, but i try to keep their personalities pretty much according to canon, until something happens to change it (ie, if spike is more submissive than in canon, it's most likely because of traumatic events that brought him there, etc) but in this fic, so far, i cant see where the problem would be for you. i've made them in character for season 6 at this point...if you were to keep reading as updates come out you'd see the emotional development, the way it comes together so that buffy learns about herself and about spike...

I'm sorry if you're not enjoying the fic so far, but to be honest with you, it seems as if you're not really giving this one a chance...

thanx for your feedback, love, have a wonderful holiday :)

12/24/2007 07:17 am
Chapter One         
I can't wait to see where this is headed! Buffy resolving not to see Spike, Spike determined to prove himself to Buffy (as if he hasn't already), and the possibility of losing Dawn are all sure to make for an interesting story.
thanx so much, love, so glad you're enjoying it so far...this one is much shorter...it's all written already but the last chapter, and will only have 6 total...hope you like the rest, let me know :) *hugs*
