Sorry it took me this long to read n review just been ill aswell n didnt notice it had been updated
once again still loving this amazing story n i absolutly loved the last line. it shows she knows cleary that it's not just another vampire she's staking; it's Spike!
keep writing n i hope u feel better soon

Enjoying this so much!

awesome chapter. I am so glad to see it. And really what would Buffy do if he asked for her help? At least it is something that she put it out there.

Can't wait for more! =D

really enjoying this pensive buffy. very good read, thank you.

He's such a gent!

oh man...but spike would never ask her for that, would he? :( poor thing...i hope they can find a way...great chapter, love :)

Very touching. The 'so what would be the point of that?' had a great deal of impact, especially to Buffy I think.

Poor Buffy - always having to kill her boyfriends. Guess it's better than the "can't we just be friends" speech.

Beautiful story. hope you´ll update soon.I would really like to read more.

MOa from Germany!

Oooo, she put it out there! Fascinating....

Good to see that Buffy is not stake-happy. My heart aches for Spike, though. Let's hope Buffy offers her blood freely. ;D

Hope you are feeling better.

Well done :)

come on, buffy, you're starting to get it.....i'm all nervous, i really wish she would just *get it*..lol...great chapter, love, i loved dawn's reaction :)

This is an awesome story! I love the emotion between the charecters... DAMN Giles! He's not "just a vampire"!!!! :) More soon, please!

lovely job with dawn and gile is such aself-righteous ass. very good read, thank you.

I really want to see how this plays out. I like Spike being surprised by Dawn's feeling for him, as it makes Buffy look at how everyone else considers him. Usually he can hide not being used to kindness or such but trying to console her and not trying to gain sympathy from the Slayer are very real selfless acts that have nothing to do with impressing a girl. Will she go through with it?

im still loving this story although it makes me wanna cry everytime i read it
i feel really sorry for both dawn and spike at the mo n i really wanna punch giles lol hopefully buffy will see what her life would be like if he wasnt around dawn's idea of using both of they'res blood was the idea that i thought you might follow but no you threw it out boo hiss lol i hope spike does live cos i just wanna give him a hug [without hurting him even more] but at the moment i cant see another way of him surviving so hooray for a story that has kept me on tenterhooks altho i dont think ill have any nails left by the end of this lol keep writing i just cant wait to see how it ends loving the work

I am a sucker for well-written angsty stories and this promises to fall into that category, or at least I hope that's where you are going with it. You've set the stage up well. Unless you have a surprise up your sleeve, I'm guessing Buffy is going to opt to not stake Spike. Either way, it should be interesting. Looking forward to the next update.

Good story so far.Update soon.I hope that Buffy decides to give Spike her blood.

And he is still just a vampire - That was cold. Come on, EB - let Buffy give him a little sip.

A sweet parting, Spike deserves to have someone care that he's dying.

Oh this is really well written. I like that you're using the same poison that got used on Angel. I've never seen this done before.

way to grab a reader's attention. very good beginning, thank you. be fun to read buffy's pov on the way up the stairs.

Unexplained, but I'm looking forward to them finding who is responsible for the poison. In this instance, with nothing for Spike to gain in how he might act, I hope the others can see him. A good start that I hope is followed through.

oh no!! i'm already mad at her, because i can't believe that right after spike taking torture for her and dawn, she wouldn't even consider helping him like she helped angel...of course, at the same time, in her mind, angel loved her, and he still ended up almost killing her...so spike probably *would* end up killing her...at least from her perspective...excellent opening chapter, love, very much looking forward to reading more of this :)

Really interesting start. I want to see how this sorts out. Interesting that Spike and Buffy can communicate on such a fundamental level.

Whoa - wasn't expecting that! Nice writing. Need more.

omg omg omg!!! what a cliffhanger!! can't wait to read the rest, poor Spike!! I like the way tho that his choosing to go out with dignity, well more dignity then what dying from poison would leave him with...ok that sentence made more sense in my head lol neway keep writing!!

OMG!!!!!! NOOO!!! Bad cliffy, bad cliffy!!!!!! This is so good and spot on with everyone's emotions, but I'm crying buckets over here cause I don't want my Spike to die. *begs* Please, please come back and give us more. I beg of thee, please.

Oh gods. **cries** Fix him! Fix him!

Stupid clueless Scoobies. What part of 'being in love' or 'taking torture from Glory' do they not understand?

So, where's Dawn? I know she's not going to like this plan.

Off to a great start - I love the silent communication between Spike and the Slayer. Very telling and lays the groundwork for what may follow...or may not...angst is good, too! LOL

what? please don't tell me that's her solution. god, after getting tortured by glory and this is the thanks he gets? she obviously has no feelings for him at all then, can't even spare her blood but of course angel is okay, big love and all that crap. at least spike would have more control and not nearly drain her dry. i really hope she doesn't go through with it.

Fabulous beginnning!

I'm glad that Buffy cares enough to be willing to do what Spike wants; dusting at the Slayer's hand is a much more fitting end for our vampire than slow combustion.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens from here.

Great story so far. And... can I slap Buffy, please!!
