that's a disturbing thought... especially for our buffy.

Intriguing beginning!

very good place to pause, for it will take a very long time for that thought to penetrate buffy's closed mind. very good read, thank you.

Good start! I think there's some Scooby illusions about to be shattered.

That was a great start! Cant wait to see where this is going. Hope you update soon!

Oooh this is good. I love how Buffy was constantly trying to deny what her heart already knows. I think she's about to get a very ugly wake-up call. You really need to update, and soon. :)

You've got my complete attention! What an interesting concept. Glad Bitchy Buffy's having the dream's and Spike's avoiding her. Looking forward to this. Thanks TC, what a great start.

i love it, pet....very well done...excellent, intriguing and original premise...i dont think i've read anything quite like this before, and i'm looking forward to reading more of it :) (hehe...i get to read it before anybody else does :P)

Very intriguing beginning to your story. I look forward to reading more.

Hmmm, very interesting and Buffy is so cruel and cold. Makes me shiver.

oooh, Angel not so special as he likes to believe? But can he convince her? Intriguing start, anxious to see where this goes.

Great beginning, hope to read more soon.

Ooooo great start! I am intrigued completely. I suspect our boy Spike was a souled one since he seemed pretty souled from time to time in canon. Scared the pants off me with the opening. I am assuming those were twists on the alley scene that her dreams have been giving her.

Stupid Buffy doesn't even recognize the lurching of her heart is love. What an ass.

Excellent, as I said. I have just listed you as a favorite author because it is clear I will want to read anything you write. Don't want to miss an update or a new story.

huh - now THERE's an interesting beginning!

Ah, there's the Buffy we know and somewhat loathe--repressing her emotions, acting high and mighty, and getting it handed to her by a demon who doesn't fit into her neat black and white world! Good start, TC, thanks for writing!
