Poor Spike--Poor Buffy--really can't feel much sympathy for Xander, considering...you are doing an awesome job on this...wonderful chapter....

Xander is a real dope in this.

Hmm interesting to see how you will make Spike come out of this one, can't really see him being the same old Spike after this.

YIKES! Looks like the friction between Buffy and Xander is getting a whole lot worse! Great update! Can't wait for more! -Lisa

Excellent chapter. Spike must be getting hungry. Hope that Buffy is able to reconcile herself to give Spike some of her blood or at least pure human blood. I can see everything coming to a head with Xander and Buffy soon too. Xander never understood how Buffy was able to forgive Spike. Heck she did worse to Spike before, and her no's and yes' were all mixed up. If one says no, they should mean no, but with Buffy that wasn't always the case. Excellently written story, and look forward to more.

I'm truly addicted to this story! Very sweet scene between Buffy and Spike; looking forward to seeing how the relationship evolves and the healing process. I do have to agree with another reviewer...please feed the poor starving vamp! Xander is so dense; hope he gets a clue soon. I liked the interactions between Dawn and Spike in the earlier chapter(s), hope we see more of that. Thanks for the amazingly rapid updates.

I can see the shit hitting the fan soon. Really waiting for the Xander explosion. The interactions between Buffy and Spike are so tender, yet wrought with such hurt that it's difficult to see when Spike will recover. When Buffy, too will recover, and how they will help each other. I'm also wondering how Spike and Dawn interactions will go now. Good Update. Can't wait for more.

When will she feed him something? He'll dust from starvation, although the dust will now be clean. I glad to see her trying to be kind to him. More story please.
