oh wow...that was so heart-breaking...poor spike...is the thing destroying his soul? hope that buffy *can* help him...

I really hope that Buffy will stay strong for Spike and continue to follow her instincts and help him.

Good chapter.Update soon.Poor Spike.

powerful read, thank you. glad to see buffy instictively finding a way to help him.eve if she doesn't know it.

Your doing an amazing job with the scenes between Buffy and Spike they're so emotionally driven and incredibly well written. Willow asked a really interesting question about the Ukesolrill, I look forward to finding out what the answer is. Wonderful chapter!

It had to be protected. It couldn’t be found, because if it were, all that she could love, and the hope that, maybe one day, she would love, would wither and die.

And, if that happened, the demon knew that it would not continue. It would stop. It would die.

Beautiful description. I love the image of the demon as the protector of the soul.

Very tender. Poor Spike... he's been through so much already, and it just keeps coming. I dont want him to lose his soul - not after he fought so hard for it.
Glad that Buffy is finally pulling her head out of her a** and realizing some things about herself.
Great chapter, great story. Looking for the next installment.

Great chapter. Powerful.

Ah, a fresh mind can do wonders, eh, Giles? Willow's question is a good one. Where does the demon essence float when it's traveling from slayer to slayer? And is the same demon's essence in both Faith and Buffy, or is there more than one Ukesolrill?

Poor Spike...the soul is dying no matter how hard he tries to protect it. Nice to see Buffy being honest with herself finally.

Kill the slayer? Can't wait to see what that's about. It's just so damn sad, glad she's there for him,at last. Angsty and tender chapter. Thanks for the read.
