Dru was tortured by the best. I only hope he doesn't trully give in to her. Think himself not worthy of Buffy's love. Hope it's sunrise soon.

Oh, poor Spike! though in all fairness ("I'll just track her down and torture her until she loves me again", or however that line went) I suspect that Spike probably doesn't mind in the same way that a real person would.

And it's absolutely in character behavior for Drusilla; nicely done. You've captured her sense of cruelty and twisted obsession beautifully.

But Yikes! Poor Spike!

Well I can add that to the list of things to discuss in therapy (oh I'm sure I've needed it for aages! :P).

Seriously though, although painful, that was, like everything you write, very well written. Very realistic thing for Dru to do and in character. You manage to balance the crazy, so to speak, very well- I've seen her written completely loopy, or too sane, it's hard to get her just right, but you have.

Now the question is- what's Buffy's idea? And more importantly will it work? Cannot wait.

Well, maybe I'm just a sicko, but I found the Spike/Dru torture sort of hot and fitting. It's how I would expect them to throw down when they were feeling particularly deviant. I wasn't squicked by it at all =D No therapy for me, yay! You have a lovely eye for description, but I think your strongest suit is definately the dialogue. I can't say that I know what's going on exactly since I just popped in to read this part, but when I get a free moment, I'll tuck into Love's Bitch.

hope the scoobies don't plan too long, there won't be anything to save. very good read, thank you.

Um...ouch? Thanks for the warning, you were right, that was intense. Very well done though, and it makes me REALLY look forward to Buffy rescuing him...please???

poor, poor spike....dru's one sick puppy...and i really hope buffy saves him soon... :( good for dawnie for coming up with what i hope is a good idea...looking forward to seeing what happens next, love (i think :P)

Dru really does know how to get what she wants. But come on Spike. Please hang on, Buffy is on her way.

Poor Spike, getting burnt and being teased. That has too suck.

Nicely done torture scene. Your Dru is superb, too.

Oh my! Lol. Poor Spike. Yeah the torture scenes were difficult to read, but as with anything with you, they were well written. Thank you for the great chapter.

Oh my!! Poor Spike!! Now I see what you meant. Buffy'd better get there soon, or there might not be much of Spike to save...

oh this is not good for Spike.

I am so glad that Giles is wanting to help, and yay Xander for reminding everyone that Spike is a Vampire so a time rescue would be out even if he still got his jab in there.

Loved it.

intense update--can't wait for more!

Ouch.

You can drive your enemy nuts if you conduct raiding parties, but never let them touch you. Like being pecked to death.

Ah Dru learned from the master (Angelus) well. Now we see why Spike thought tying HER up and torturing her back into loving him would work....that's the way her mind works. Not happening with Spike though. He's not twisted no matter how his body may respond, his heart is Buffy's.

I really want to smack the crap out of the scoobies and Giles. Spike EARNED their help and support over and over and they are being asses. Willow and Tara came around but it shouldn't have taken them any time to agree to help at all! Giles and Xander are worthless gits, especially Giles after the dragon disaster...SPIKE pulled her back frmo that blunder and this is how Giles repays him?

Great update.
