What a wonderful gift! Tears falling now..
Thank you. I wanted Buffy to really "see" him and his journey and love. So glad you enjoyed the story. I appreciate your kind words. k
fantastic way to end this tale. thank you for a very fine read.
Thank you! I wanted Buffy to have something that let her SEE him, his heart and head even though it was too late. Maybe give her something to reflect upon. Glad you liked the story. Kathleen
Now you've made me cry. I can only hope he wasn't completely unmourned.
I'm ashamed to be thrilled that I made you cry *hands tissues*. I was aiming for the heart and delighted I managed it. No he would not be unmourned. I think she finally did see him at long last. Thank you for the lovely reviews! k
I love the way you filled in the time between leaving Africa and Buffy discovering him. Knew there had to be more to it. It's very good to see layers being peeled away.
Thank you! Yes...there's a wealth of story material you can pull from that time alone! There are a few stories that deal with that summer but not a lot. I keep getting tempted LOL> K
beautifully written, thank you. fortunately i lost the first review for this section. not that the comments on your wonderful tale were different. they were the same, but they led to a rant, possibly scotch induced. reading spike's turmoil over the hurt he caused (when he knew without the soul and went for the soul) just set me off. think of her great friend. xander who tried to rape her and conveniently forgot with the knowledge of her loyal watcher. they never did go fight for their souls, did they? sorry the rant reappeared. again, thank you for the wonderfully read
Didn't see the rant but I'd probably agree with you (with or without Scotch). This was hard to write because I had to try to put my head where Spike was likely thinking (filled with guilt, remorse, self hate and so on) with that new soul. I think he was far too hard on himself in S7 but that was how he seemed to see himself. It wasn't easy because I disagree with much of that seeing him as a marvel to have done any much less plenty of good with no encouragement! Also agree about Xander and company....no one had clean hands in the whole group!
Glad you enjoyed the story!

Glad you enjoyed the story!

He is quite right about how his attempts to be a better person went unnoticed. Poor Spike - he never stood a chance with them.
It struck me as sad that Spike (without the soul) was always being judged by human standards and found wanting instead of measured against the demonic and amazing people. Angel never encountered that, they just chalked up his evil Angelus actions as typical vampire/demon and gave him a pass and treated Angel with the soul as human. I think Spike wound up paying for Angel's sins with the Scoobies and Buffy.

That's supposed be be bloody awful poetry? It's beautiful!
*blushes* thank you so much. This was a hard story to write for many reasons and I appreciate your kind words. k
I'm finding this very moving - Spike's world is diminished to a sad little corner of the basement. Well done with the sonnets.
Thank you. I tried to put myself in poor newly souled and so overwhelmed with guilt Spike. I wanted Buffy to have a chance to "see" him even if it was after the fact. Delighted it moved you.
