 *sobs* when is its Spikes turn to be happy?
Never, I'm sorry to say.

If Emma hadn't interfered she still would be alive (eh un-live).  Good to see Spike not being killed (but in a way that was expected, being still undusty in the present).
I couldn't kill off Spike and I couldn't let him win either, since Angel says in Destiny that Spike never won before.  I had to kill somebody, so Emma got elected. Thanks for reviewing.

DAMN Angelus is such a bastard (and in character too.  The Master said he was the most evil and the Judge said he had not humanity so he really was this bad). 

Great action sequence.  Very wrought with tension, very visual. 

Poor Emma...you can't help but feel bad for her really.  Poor Spike too though, already his women are being taken by the poof!

Really great update.

Angelus is a bastard, that's why we love him.  I may have written Emma a little too sad sack and crushed down.  I did have to kill her, but maybe she should have gone out in a blaze of glory.  Spike should grow a pair and beat the daylights out of Dru and maybe Darla too and he wouldn't have so many problems with women.  Thanks so much.

Yikes, that was all too believably brutal.  Scary stuff.
Thanks so much.  I love brutal and scary.

Aw, poor William. Still, I have to say Emma wasn't good for him.
Emma would have been great for William.  If nothing else, sex and getting away from his mother.  Thanks for reviewing.

Emma met a fitting end IMHO for what she did.   Great fight scenes.  Very riveting.
Ooo, Emma got herself in trouble by betraying Spike.  I wasn't exactly expecting that.  She didn't want to hurt Spike/William and she tries to make up for it.  Thanks so much for reviewing.

What a fight scene - NICE WORK.  Glad that Spike finally got it straight about his lovely Emma - she had a terrible life and did the best she could to try and escape the rotten deal she was struck with.  And who knows, maybe William might have been able to change life for both of them. 

Once again, you have a great ending - Angelus was thinking one thing and William/Spike was thinking something else entirely -
It's really a pity that Emma could not have found the strength to rebel against all those in life that used her so sorely -

Think you did a great presentation of Angelus and his women - and I loved your William - it all felt very realistic and appropriate to the characters we meet in the series -

Thanks so very much for a really excellent William-Spike story.

Thanks so much.  It was really hard finding a way to keep Angel from killing Spike.  Emma does rebel a littlle bit by trying to interfere.  I'm not sure I shouldn't have made her stronger or more daring or something.  She's a little too crushed down.  She had to die, of course.  No choice there.
