good chapter sweetie!

Yay Spike!!!

I am truely sadden by Spike's feeling. I understand and I grieve for him. How does someone forgive the one who caused them so much pain and humiliation. Buffy migth offer to submit to her mate, let him become the alfa mate.

Oh. That is so sad. Spike can't touch Buffy. He remembers all the pain the SLAYER did to him. It's hard for him to disassociate his mate from the one who caused him so much hurt.

great chapter, thank you. now buffy has a lot of work to do.

oh that's so sad. But he shouldn't blame her really. It's not her fault it was the slayer demon. Buffy never wanted to hurt him, not like that.

Well at least travers is dead. Now we just have to wonder about Buffy and Spike.

Hmmnm

Yeah, they really do have a lot to work through. It's not gonna be easy. I feel so sorry for both of them. The Council is probably gonna be out for blood once they hear about Travers' death. I imagine there will be more complications to come.

Loving the angst!

I feel so sad for them both, so much pain....
Thanks for the chapter!!!

I am so happy that you haven't made Buffy and Spike fling themselves into each others arms and live happily ever after. This is a great story, and it deserves to have a proper and complete ending. I hope that they will be able to pull off a healthy relationship, but until that time, I am glad that you are sticking with them. Super job, and I can't wait for more.:)

JL - I knew you were going to do something mean, but this caps it!

Thanks ever for killing that old goat Travers and for another excellent chap.

They both need a time out to sort the events (and also deal with Willow and her secret and Giles and his stupidity). This makes perfect sense. Spike doesn't even know what HE is right now sans chip without throwing in a relationship with one who had been his enemy then loved one and torturer. Buffy has lots to deal with too. Yup, a time out followed by Spuffy lovin' You're just the writer to give it to us good too! Excellent and believeable.

Maybe Giles can redeem himself by covering wth the Council of wankers....hum....

oh no.more please!

just keeps getting better- how isa buffy ever going to get past the emotions that spike has ? can't wait to see!every time i think i see where this story is going you add more dimension to it .

Keeping the Spuffy fans on edge. A naturally reaction from Spike of course,but still...Want a happy ending:)

Now this is what I have been waiting for. Finally the tables have turned and we get to see Buffy in a bit of pain. About time.

Ouch. Well, the danger's past, but will their relationship survive? Can't wait for more.

*gapes* Good Lord! What a powerful, gut-wrenching chapter!

I completely understand Spike's reaction. After everything they've been through, there's no way they can slip straight into the sweetness and light.

My guess is that's gonna take a couple more chapters. ;P

I understand why he feels that way, BUT, it still made my heart ache for her, and him alike. I really don't know if they can ever regain their love. The demon put Spike through way to much, you know? What a powerful chapter!

So sad. But she should have expected something like that was on its way.

Poor Spike, he's so torn. Had to kill Travers left the other one to live, all the torture he's been through. So much to deal with and to top that off he's not chipped anymore. Emotions running all over the place, she has to give him space no matter how much she what's to hold him. Thanks for letting her beat the crap out of him anyway, at least he suffured a little before he was put down like the scrum that he is. Very emotional chappie, thanks for it.

Poor Spike. ::sniff:: So much damage done and in such a short amount of time.

Oh! :'(

Great chapter though!

Yep...the weight of all he went through was bound to drop soon. Crisis handled and averted, so it all catches up with him now...every hurt her body visited upon him. Every cruel word that came from her voice and face.

And there's nothing she can do to change her touch, without changing bodies.

Spike is a JERK!!
