Please put a warning up so that we are better prepared for this raw, emotionally draining chapter. Tissues are a necessity. I can barely wrap my head around the emotions that are so fresh on the page. My heart broke as he fell to the ground. Loved the line "she was the Alpha and Omega"...his beginning and end! You ROCK!!!
Thank you! I know how I feel when I write, but I'm never sure if I'm conveying the emotions. I'm so glad it came through.

At least Buffy isn't cruelly dense here. She is innocently dense, not understanding all of what she's seen. I loved how you handled all the emotions of the first meeting again. Very powerfully written. This is in the top of your fics that I like.
I was concerned about that. I didn't want to go too over the top, but I didn't want to gloos over it either. I know Buffy as written on the show was cruel. I hope I wrote a more believable Buffy.

I love your story, the reunion between Buffy and Spike was beautiful! Looking forward for more.
More is coming. This is the Spike and Buffy I *Wish* had been on screen. (where's Halfrek when you really need her, huh? LOL)

Thank you for another great chapter. The emotions were so strong and touching, and I really liked how you did things first from Spike's perspective then did it again from Buffy's.
Thanks. Sometimes the double perspective is hard to pull off. I'm glad you think I did it well.

Buffy and the obvious are not mixy :)
And, I quote Spike: "To coin a popular Sunnydale phrase, 'DUH!'"

I just sat down and read everything thus far. Wonderful story, filled with such honest emotion. It's beautiful, and I'll be watching for more.
Thank you for giving this a read. I'll try to keep you interested and coming back for more.

WOW what an emotionally powerful chapter. Beautifully written heart wrenching scene you have here. The Council, of course, must be destroyed as it currently is or the words Giles has spoken of endless pursuit willl be prophecy.

Wonderful!

Things will change but something drastic will have to happen first. Please keep reading.

Good chapter.Hopefully Buffy won't freak out.Update soon.
I think she is floating on a river in Egypt about now.

This was such a beautiful chapter, and such a cliffhanger, too. Evil! I really like this story and the way you've written Spike, Buffy, and Giles. Very realistic and true to their characters. I hope you update soon - I can't wait to see what happens next!
I think cannon was messed up. The one person who should have reacted differently to the soul was "Giles." And yet, there was nothing. GRR ARGH. This is my attemp at "Fixing" things

You did an amazing job with Spike and Buffy's reunion. This update really left me all teary eyed. Excellent chapter as always! :)
Thanks! I'm worn out too. Give me a few days and I'll be ready to continue the tale.

I'm so glad! :-p

Wow...you continue to put out these powerful chapters...just gorgeous in the emotions and images shown.

And I'm so glad Giles is ready to protect Spike from even Buffy. That's fantastic. He's going to have to lead her by the hand until she assimilates the new setting. So slow...

And Panya...ahead of his years, for sure...a truly good kid.
Thanks Kim, I try. Buffy was always a little dense, but I wanted more emotion than there was in "Beneath You." I think that I succeeded.
