It is difficult to read when Spike is so abused and degraded. At least Buffy understands his plight.. until Willow throws in Giles. Don't see how Spike will ever regain his pride or dignity.

Sorry the story had to go this route.. Sex slave, whipping boy, and possible killer of Giles. What a demeaning existence. Broken.

yeah, it's pretty hard on him...but it'll get better...remember, this is all the construct of willows mind...thanx, love :)

You are deeply cruel and I love it. I hope that bit with Giles is some kind of kinky Willow trick.
lol...we'll see...thanx, love :)

Oh dear.....Buffy THINK! Realize this is just another case of smoke and mirrors......!!!!

Poor Spike not sure of anything where Buffy is concerned (here OR in "reality"). Hope Jenny will soon put them in that real world to deal with Willow as things really are and were. No wonder Spike was horrified at the vision of the future he was given early on!

she's not dumb, we'll see how she takes it...thanx, love :)

Wow.....talk about intense.
I wonder where this latest twist will take them?

Holy crap! Please update again soon; love the fact that Buffy doesn't blame Spike for what happened to him at the hands of Willow and Angel, but I'm dying to know what happened to Giles?!? Please, please update again soon, rabid fans need more story!!!
thanx, love, so glad you enjoyed it :)

Wow... You never fail to be able to deliver an emotional train, where the readers have no choice but to get run over and feel bad for Spike. Reading this chapter I'm glad Angel's dust, and hopefully Willow dies soon, but can it not be a quick dusting please? She really deserves a nasty death for the things she's committed. I still love your work DoS, from the first day I read Trusting You to now. Keep up the great work, later...
thanx so much, love, for your kind encouraging words...*hugs*

Willow is in control. Everything Buffy is seeing is because of Willow, and I don't know if that means she could just make something up. I do wonder about this hardened version of Jenny Calendar being willing to work with Spike for any cause if he was solely responsible for what appears to be a slaughter of her love interest. I'm so glad Buffy is seeing that surviving, living, takes more strength than dying would in regards to Spike. And even with all he's been through, he didn't break enough to stop trying to fight, helping the Slayer.
I wonder if Willow is going to show Buffy a memory of what SHE might have done to Spike in this world, because I think that would have a much harder effect on her than seeing the vampires she knows are evil treat him cruelly.
I love how the characters' motives and actions and reasons are being brought up so realistically, and the emotions are so clear.
Keep up the great writing! Wish you all the best.
you're very perceptive, love...thanx so much for your kind reviews, love :)
