Sorry I haven't been here lately. RL has had me pinned to the wall for a while now. Hope to be able to read more often in the next few days.

I hate that Spike's having to go through that but it was partly his fault after all. Just got to see if they can get over it and move on. Very emotional chapter, well done.

strong ending to a very good chapter, thank you. the one thing that might have made it better: if spike would have taken his anger and frustration out and xander (maybe giles?) just kidding. all right, half kidding.

oh man, poor spike... :( that was so emotional and intense...i don't blame him a bit for his reaction...buffy can't help feeling the way she does, either...i just wish xander would be a little more understanding...whatever buffy does while under the influence of the poison is totally not her fault, but whatever spike does is his fault because he's a vampire!! that's so irritating!!!
but this chapter is amazing :)
very well done, love :)

I really do feel so bad for Spike. I know that he is doing the best that he can. And I know that Buffy had some tough halluciations as well. BUT they all need to talk this out.

OH I hope Him and Buffy can work it out.

Way to go, Spike. Prove yourself violent and out of control. That'll go down well.

Super chapter ending - I love Spikes violent emotional release, very true to his base nature. Love all the conflict and confusion on Buffy's part, glad she doesn't just snap out of such a traumatic event so quickly, it really lends depth to the event itself. Great writing and voice as always! Looking forward to more!

Poor Spike!!!!!!!

Such a powerful ending to the chapter! You can feel Spike's frustration and grief.

Buffy is disoriented and was already in need of sorting out her feelings to begin with. This is a major set back on that score and poor Spike has been hit by a runaway train.

All voices in character. Nicely done.
