Great story. I felt so sorry for Spike. Me, I feel Angel got off a little too easy, but that's just me.

Magnificent story! Just fabulous. You have gorgeous (and sometimes gruesome) descriptions, and compelling emotional thoughts, and smart dialogue. You have written a beautiful story. You should be proud:)

Yahoo! Read the entire thing in one go. I couldn't stray far from my screen untill I was through.

I think it was the fine writing that impressed me the most. The plot was origina too.

Did you ever consider getting a livejournal account? They have a spell checking option there. Just a though from a poor speller. Oh, and there are some great LJs out there, like darker spike- http://community.livejournal.com/darker_spike/
You can find me at live journal, same name as here. Glad you enjoyed the fic.

my god woman! (i'm assuming) what a mind blowing story. so intense and so wonderfully written. this story kicks total ass. i agree that xander's speech just was fantastic, as all the scoobies. angel's evil gives me the cold, cold chills. and spikes wish for justic was ALMOST perfect. i would have liked to have seen a slight addition to his wish, which would have been for angel to have to spend one year enduring what spike had to and THEN go back into the world having lost everything. it seems like angel just gets off too easily every single time. it always bothers me so much all the evil things angel did and yet everybody always thought he was this huge champion. made me gag. thank you so very much for writing this beautiful story. i hope that you will continue writing. course, you might have a hard time topping this one - it is practically perfect in every way. just simply awesome.
**checks inside shirt** Oh yes, woman, indeed! *grins*

Thanks for your very kind words. I, too, believe this fic to be a high point for me... but I'm working on it. Check out my website for fic that doesn't fit Bloodshedverse's criteria.

Very satisfying conclusion. Love the Scoobies finally coming round to see what we always knew. And Dawn. Go Dawnie! I love Dawn.

Lovely story, even the gore and pain were well-placed. Thanks for the read.
You're very welcome, hon. I just had this image in my head of Dawn as the avenging angel. I'm sure she was never happy with the way she and Spike left things before he turned to ash. This made up for it for them both.

This is a fantastic fiction. The details are gory (if u know what i mean) and the plot is fantastic. i like how dru just popped in at the end and how cleverly Anya was included. I find the ending abit blunt though. Its good, dont get me wrong, but maybe more of a description of Buffy and SPikes relationship, rather than it focusing on Angel. BUT...I loved it and i hope you keep writing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the fic, Kendra. And you never know if or when an epilogue will show up showing just that - what Spike and Buffy's relationship has turned into. I'll have to have a word with the muse.

OMG. This story is absolutely incredible!! You had me in tears, it's just achingly painful for Spike, and I love that Buffy finally treated him with the kindness he deserved, and Xander's speech on his behalf...too, too perfect!!! I love this story, you are an excellent writer!! Thanx!!!
Glad you enjoyed the fic. My tendency to write characters the same way in all my fics had to be addressed, and going against type to have Xander really be the one to come out on Spike's side was difficult, but necessary for my own writing growth.

WOW!! What a tale. The way Angel and the slaver treated Spike were so well written I had to keep taking breaks and not hit something. And the justice you thought up for Angel was positively poetic. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed my efforts.

Honest to God, I don't know how I ever missed this one on BSV. This is an awesome fic, truly masterful. Angst, justice, love, redemption...the list could be endless. And dark, but it fits in this story, and fits well. And a poetic ending to it as well. Superb fiction.
Thanks for your kind words, sweetie. I am humbled. *blushes*

Hey, lovin it so far, just so you know, 'bollocks' refers to something bad where as 'the dogs bollocks' refers to something good, just a hint from an english girl xxx

Oh my Spuffy heart! I'm so glad you had Buffy and Spike react like this; I hate it when they meet and it's all drawn out with mixed signals because of pride or something. My heart can't take it. Even if there's misunderstanding later, at least they've said their piece. Great set of chapters. Can't wait to see what Buffy does to Angel.
*grins* Our little Buffster was none too happy.

This is such a great story even with how brutal and horrorific his life becomes - horrorendous does not even begin to describe what he suffered.   I've read it twice before and still come back to it.

Oh my poor vampire! I'm hurting for him. Bad Angel, naughty! At the risk of sounding like Wulfie, can we stake him now? Great start. Racing ahead for more...
Trust me, I so wanted to dust Angel, myself. However, I feel it served the story better to have things go the way they did.

It is 4:30 in the morning and I just finished this, I could not stop. It is one of the most deeply dark stories I've read (you should put it out on the LJ community darker_spike BTW). It is also one of the most well written and riveting storys as well. Completely satisfying in the character growth and justice served. Amazingly good! Your Spike has not only been fully redeemed, he has transcended. Bravo!!! Kathleen
Hey there, Kathleen. I realize it's been ages since you've reviewed, and I apologize for the lapse, but I am really quite thrilled that you enjoyed the fic. I had to push myself to raise my personal benchmark to get this written.

This was a great story. I loved reading it and rereading it. Very unique and fab!
Glad that you enjoyed the story. It was one of the hardest things I've ever written, and certainly the darkest.
