whoa...who is gonna die? I lost the tracks,I guees,but the chapter is rocking!:) Guilty Spike and stressed Buffy and dead...who?

It's like a bad dream that you can't stop from happening.

I’m glad that Buffy told Spike again that she loved him, I am also glad that Spike made sure that he left a message with Dawn before he left that he would be back. I loved Xander and Buffy’s talk and that Xander tried to cheer her up and that he defended Spike.

nooooooooo I like xander in this fic

*eep* Eep EEP!

Ahh! I realize that you are busy with many a thing, but ppplllleeeeeeeaaaasssssseeee update soon. I need more! Very good addictive writing, and this cliffhanger's gonna kill us. I must say though, I just love the explanation behind Spike leaving, very interesting....

Well, Tara's out of the house, Joyce is out of town, Dawn's at school...
That leaves Willow, Giles, Xander, and Buffy...and it definitely looks like Xander got in the way of Buffy's bullet. Willow either screamed because of the gunshot, or because one of them was hit...

Hurry, please! Very good chapter. Loved Spike's bit about feeling so upset about the kids. I think he's either going to wish for his soul, so he can reconcile the feelings, or wish for the kids lives back because he doesn't feel it was right. Either way, he's not going to be the same after this...and Buffy said the words, but I think he was too out of it to catch them.

Buffy's going to be a mess, with what they have to deal with now, and Spike gone, too.

Gaaahhh...Xander? Tara? Willow? Woo....what a cliffy. Well done. Thanks for still updating even with company, we appreciate that.

oh how can you leave me slightly teary with an evil cliffy???

Of course, he's going to get his soul, that's our Spike after all. Loved how you changed "Seeing Red" for your story, but will Tara's demise be the same here, as well as Willow's? Thanksful for Xander's insight to Spike's persistence and his understanding that Buffy needs reassurance where her vampire is concerned. Everyone else left, so she's afraid. What a wonderful idea for Xander's last thought, of Anya as a bride and their future.
With all these fantastic updates lately maybe the in-laws such come more often? *bad Verda, slaps self* LOL *grins*

What a cliffhanger! Really well done.

Awesome Chapter! OK is this the part I'd disagree with? Is he going to get his soul? You know if he is going to get it, I don't mind it in this fic, because Buffy accepted him first without it. My big issue with the soul is that it always seemed like a bandaid for the relationship Buffy would never allow to happen otherwise. My issue with the soul is mostly on Buffy's side of the fence. And she's not being like that in this fic. She's being accepto supporto girl.

Anyway this is really well written. Your Dawn voice is really good also. Not a lot of people write Dawn well.

Despite your love of Xander you are making his responses realistic...in the afterglow of being a newlywed, he's bound to be more mellow but he still doesn't like spike which is believable.

I like all the little nods to Anya, like her gratefulness cause of them banking there lol.

Poor Tara had to go here too huh? I guess some things can't be changed and you need the catalyst for evil willow if you're recreating a lot of things so closely. (or maybe she won't go evil this time...who knows?)

Anyway really awesome fic. Can't wait for more.

Aaargh!!! You are mean! That was an excellent update. Very gripping. Is this going to continue into Season 7? I mean it's already sorta over-lapping, but are you gonna have Spike come back all changed and the final battle with the First Evil and closing the Hellmouth and stuff because that would be very cool. I think I'd be disappointed if this story ended with canon season 6. It's way too good. Can't wait for the next update to see what happens.

oh wow...you actually knocked the breath out of me with that one...and you made me actually feel heart-broken at xander's death...that's quite an accomplishment there...so very sad...and i dont know if you're going the direction of evil-willow or not, but i think xander's death could have brought that about just as easily as tara's...and in that case, tara just might be the only one who could bring willow back from the edge in the end...but i'm getting ahead of both of us :) lol...looking forward to your next update :)

another very interesting chappie

very good chapter, thank you. blame the evil cliffie on the in-laws. right!
