I love this twist.  Can't wait to read on and see what happens next.

i'll repeat , angel was always class act. right! buffy should be starting to question her great love soon. very good read, thank you.

What a twist!  I love that we're seeing Spike ensouled so early and how Buffy will see Angel without the guilt of having killed him.  Angel seems to have mixed feelings.  Excellent chapter.

Put him out of his misery? Well obviously only Angel deserves a chance at redemption. Makes me wonder if Buffy hadn't been there if he would have slunk out and left Spike to suffer or if he would have staked him. I often wonder whose soul was stuffed into Angel, anyways. I get the impression that his own wouldn't have made much of a difference. This chapter certainly lives up to its name (Buffy has it, Spike has it within the limits of a devastating addition just a very short time ago, and Angel not so much).

Oh - this is really an interesting idea - great start, having both Angel/Angelus-William/Spike ensouled at the same time and location is a wonderful idea.  And I like how you have put Buffy, as well, in a new mind set too.  I sure hope that you will be able to bring us new chapters on a regular basis - this sshould be  a really exciting story.

Great update. Really interested to see how you show Spike with a new soul, especially at this point- evil but wanting to save the world. Also, just that hint that his game face can come forward without his decision to do it could open up a couple of interesting situations!
Looking forward to more-- great chapter and well-written characters.

I don't think I've seen any other fics with this premise, so I'll be fascinated to see where you take us. Something tells me that with two souled vampires to compare Buffy will very quickly begin to see the difference.

Excellent update and I have to say, a very surprising turn of events. Looking forward to your next update.

It's an interesting idea and I'm very curious to see where you're taking it.  Can't wait for the next chapter.

Typical Angel to solve his problems with a stake (or fire if it's female).  Bloody bastard.  Hope Buffy REALLY thinks about that.

Typical Spike offering comfort even in his own pain.  Hope she thinks on THAT too.

Going to be great comparin them side by side.  Excellent!!!
