Wonderful story - I adore the complex emotions you have been able to weave. The story is absolutly excelllant and I adore it.

Brilliant chapter - and a huge stride for Spike. I'm really looking forward to Xander getting suitably rewarded.

Keeping the secret gives the perpetrator power--thank God that Spike found someone who loved him to confide in--many who are abused never have that release. Thank you for a thoughtful exploration of sexual/physical/mental abuse that not only shows the damage, but the healing process as well. Beautifully written, and excellent update...can't wait for the next chapter to see what Anya shows Xander....

Excellent ..You go Girl!..Both you and Anya

wow! I love this story! I really hope Xander'll get what he deserves... allthough he should be really happy I wasn't in that room.... but I guess everyone around here is thinking that ;-)

Good chapter. Guess Xander is in for a ride now.

Wow, excellent update. Evil cliffie of course, but that's okay. I hope that Xander really understands by the time Anya is through with him. He needs to not only see what Spike went through, but he really does need to FEEL all that Spike felt. Maybe it might shut the self-righteous prick up. Excellent update. Wonderful scenes with Buffy and Spike as things were revealed and they grow closer. Her giving him the remote was very profound to me. Look forward to more. Glad I was able to keep reading. {Smiles}

Evil Evil cliffhanger! More soon please! -Lisa

Go Anya!! She is so good and honest and worthwhile as a person. Xander was never good enough for her. Happy to see Buffy helping Spike break through some of his damage. More story please.
