Thank you for letting him see already it will be so much easier for them if he does. He's got a long way to go but this way it won't be as hard and now he can see the love in their eyes for him, even if he doesn't understand it right away he'll feel it in that huge heart of his. What a wonderful way to spend my evening, thanks for the wonderful read.
thanx so much, so glad you enjoyed it...spike's being able to see will make things much easier for all of them...

a "Ray of Light" was well timed to brighten the tale and to lighten the darkness of vengence over taking the slayer. wonderful read, thank you.
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

Wow! I'm so glad he has regained his sight. Maybe with food and rest he'll be able to regain other parts of himself. I'm sure they went a long way to the progress he had made. I felt so bad when Buffy instinctively yelled after he pulled her hair. He clearly needs the closeness and affection to help him feel at peace after so many months of torture and abuse
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

The gift of sight. I am just glad that Buffy did stay with him. He just needed it.
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

I'm waiting to see what Dawn says about Spike in Buffy's bed. My guess is that she'll see the empty couch and panic--running straight into Buffy's room and scaring everyone when Spike panics.
good guess :) thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

Come on Buffy- Give Spike a bite of Slayer. I love the intensely angstiness of this story.
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

so well done! I LOVE your Buffy!! Even snapping at him when he pulled her hair - her surprise, confusion and the stress of what's gone on all just coming to a head. Then she stops it instantly, when she sees what she's done - regrets it. She is taking ownership of her actions, past and present, which she's never done before.
Wouldn't some Slayer-spiked blood help? I'm surprised she hasn't thought of that.
Thank you!!
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

The fact that his sight is returning gives me hope -- it'd help if Buffy remembers to temper her reactions, he's so frail... and don't shout at him! Can't wait for more.
yes, that was unfortunate, but a basic instinctive reaction :( still poor spikey....thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

You are simly amazing with the speed of your updates. I usually wait until it is finished since I hate waiting. However this story just draws me back in daily. I am ecstatic that he can see. I just hope that Buffy really will keep her promise to make the a-hole who did this pay in blood and gore. It is also neat how buffy and anya are dealing with each other. I like that angle alot. I just wonder how long it will take for his captor to realize he is gone. Fantastic and can't wait for more!!
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

When it comes to writing angst, you have few peers, but you also know when to give you readers a ray of hope. Lovely chapter. I am so looking forward to more.
thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

It's probably a bit fuzzy or shadowed, yet, but recognition of sight is a definite improvement!
yep, thanx for the review, love :) glad you're enjoying it :)

"Get this vamp some more plasma!" ;D Another night like that and he'll be singing his "Abc's" in no time!
yes, he's very smart, and with the proper feeding, he'll recover in no time :)

Aw - so hopeful! Please tell me our vamp is going to be his rude, obnoxious self soon! (And maybe be able to help Buffy kick tormentor butt? What did that gunshot do to his chip? Huh?
well, not exactly soon...but eventually...not telling as far as the other question yet :)

Now I'm crying (happy tears, I promise), that was just so great. Really touched me.
Great chapter, love the story. I can't wait for the update.
thanx so much, so glad you liked it :)

Great Chapter! HE CAN SEE!!!! I just wanted to jump up and down on that one! I can't wait for the next chapter! THANK YOU so much for updating so often!
thanx for the review, love :)

A ray of light and hope. Just what I so needed today of all days. What a beautiful chapter.

Problem is, I can see several candidates for Buffy to murder. When do we get another hint of who the bastard is?
thanx so much, so glad you're enjoying it :)

12/03/2006 12:47 am
Thank God. Finally a breakthrough. I hope it's all uphill from here.
thanx so much, so glad you're enjoying it :)

Wow! Another great chapter, Spike is regaining his sight, Buffy's need and want for vengeance is growing... I wonder will she be able to do harm to shooter, since she knows him. By the way who is shooter? When we will learn, come on, I'm dieing of curiosity…
thanx so much, so glad you're enjoying it :)

Oh, I am so glad Spike is getting better. But I question if Buffy can keep her promises to him.
thanx so much, so glad you're enjoying it :) we'll see how buffy handles it in the long run
