Well handled!

Poor Spike!*sniff* He'd been through so much. Now that Buffy's finally realized how much she does love him, that knowledge will help him through the claim. Exhausting chapter, so glad this part is over. Great read, thanks.

Incredible...the way Buffy has opened up her eyes (even though they opened during one h*** of a situation),it`s so nice. A really godd way of showing Dawn`s concern for the blonde vampire. Nicely done:)

Awwww, Spike... I hope this means happy sappy ending soon *nods*

WTF is it that has taken Buffy's body? Was the Slayer demon actually a coward and a sadist? It's good to know that whatever it is, it's chained and weakened for a while. More plan - er, story - please.

I just cannot wait to read the update. What is the plan? Will Spike be able to look in his lover eyes and forget the evil she once did?

What an emotionally wrenching chapter! Now all Spike has to do is finish the dominance ritual, right? Somehow I don't think it's gonna be that easy. I just know that you're gonna subject us to one of your evil plot twists. lol Waiting with bated breath for the next update. :)

poor spike....stupis slayer....im gonna rip her apart when i get y hands on her...hehe k maybe not...but you get the idea...........fantastic chappie keep it up

You made me cry...I almost never cry....very well done.

I really liked this chapter. Despite it being Buffy's plan, I do like it that it was Spike that delievered the final blow. His words were of Goodnight were great...but it would ahve been so much sweeter had he said, "Say goodnight...baby." Just to mock her.

Alsoreally like ti that Spike is not, seemingly, letting Buffy off the hook. he went through a rough night, and despite what anyone says, despite that they are now two different entities....the Slayer Demon and Buffy were once somewhat merged. The Slayer demon is merely Buffy on super overdrive...and it should be very hard for Spike to forget that...that when they do this, the slayer is going back into Buffy. It's not liek the Slayer is dying...she merely gets to sleep.

I hope you take a cue from Trusting You and make Buffy have to work to gain back Spike's trust.

wonderful chapter.

Ironic how those sounds made Dawn feel she could leave, when something totally different was actually happening inside.

Even when this is all over, he's not going to be able to look at Buffy's face the same for a while.

Great chapter. I hope the remaining part of the plan will be unveiled in the next chapter.

fine chapter, thanks for the excellent read.

I realize that it isnt over, I also realize that there were some parts in there that arent really all that happy, yet I am still more glad about this chapter than any other. I was so bloody worried about whether their plan was going to go to hell. I know it isn't over, but you'd need to work awfully hard to be able to get her out of those chains without Spike restraining her. Yay:)

Once again, your chapter was maturely written, and was able to show a great deal of plot without making it emotionless. The fact you are able to do make someone stand at a door and still make it relevant and relieving shows how talented you are. Great job:D

Beautifully written. I love the emotions Spike is emitting.

Poor Spike, I can only imagine how confusing and painful all this is for him. I like that Dawn overheard what she did, and her reactions, not only did she stay safe but she also didn’t do anything that would have interfered with the plan. Thanks for the update, I am really looking forward to the next one.

It feels good to watch him letting some of that pain out. Lance the wound, a little.

I finally got a chance to read the last couple chapters all together. GREAT updates. I am just glad that Spike got a chance to release his emotions before it got the better of him. And to have Buffy right by his side so to speak was great. Hope they can really get the rest of the plan together before the Slayer wakes.

Poor Spike! He is just getting the brunt of all of this. I feel so bad for him! I hope this is all drawing to an end. It has been an exaughsting roller coaster of emotions just READING this story! I can't wait for more!

Interesting chapter - I can't wait to see what happens next
