Dark...  but you already knew this.  you can devastate effectively with very few words.

wow intense, luved it. especially the last line.

He raped her and now he is taking care of her and he is losing his sanity...I'm gonna need to read lots of happy endings to get this dark feeling out of my gut...and wow!

Dark, but well written. It always frustrated me about Buffy because she would say no and mean yes. No should mean no. How is a person to know when you actually mean it if you play this yes/no game all the time before. I can see how it would have basically driven Spike insane to know that he'd actually hurt her.

dark and sad, but beautiful. love it. thanks for the great read.

That's so heartbreaking. But beautiful in it's darkness.
Great writing. So many emotions in not so many words.

I just got an image of an insane Spike gently brushing a catatonic Buffy. Very sad and bittersweet image. Well done.

it's kinda depressing :( but nevertheless excellently written

The man vs. the demon, which one truly won? Or did they both lose in the end, have they lost Buffy for good?

Can't wait for more.

This is darkly beautiful, the last two lines in particular. You’ve done another excellent job.

That was great! As much as he struggles, sometimes you just can't win but he will always love her. That's the tragedy that is Spike!

Whoa! Best angst I've read in years.. Great job with just two drabble.

whoa...again very powerful though very dark...this would make an interesting little series of drabbles, please keep it up :) love it

Beautiful in its pain!

This is too heartbreaking.

Tragic. But incredible. Your originality astounds me.

this is so sad, but you know i think it is something Joss would have explored had he gone ahead and allowed the inevitable to happen.

I have always felt that Spike would have claimed
Buffy if he had gone ahead and raped her. Turn her? Maybe, but claimed her yes.
Sad but very touching.
