Loved this story, especially the fact that you kept Spike true to character and unapologetic about it, as well as having Buffy give into her thirst for vengeance. Made the whole story a much better read.

I loved it, its alot darker than what i usually read but lovely all the same :D
xo.

Thank you for writing the story.  Of course, I love that it's spuffy and that it's AU.  It's always great to take the characters and bring them into a new setting.  Because this dealt in dehumanizing torture for Buffy, it was harder for me to read those parts.  You were able to give her vindication, but the premise was dark.  As a writer, please don't hesitate to give warning about the chapter and tell the reader to skip to the next chapter if the content would be offensive (for any reason including rape, torture, etc).   Please don't get me wrong, I like your story and enjoyed them creating a relationship with each other.  You cater to your muse accordingly. 

read this a while ago but never reviewed it.  loved it then, still love it now!  I really enjoyed the twisted plot, and Buffy's moment of empowerment.  but most especially, Spike is lovely in this story! 

I just finished reading all the chapters over the last two nights and I just wanted to say that I thought it was brillant.

I've never read a spuffy story set in an alternative universe before and wasn't sure if I'd like it as I usually prefer stories that are based on one of the buffy episode, but I loved this. It really showed what could of happened if Buffy had Spike to help her through all those years instead if him being her ememy.

I really liked this and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent story teling. Loved the writing, the characterizations, the original plot.  Great job!

Wicked story, well written and captivating.

I enjoyd every part of it... i only found this story yesterday and couldn't left a review for every chapter cause... well.. you know, i had to quickly go to the new one ... 
poor Bufy... and i'm soo happy it all worked out  the way it did!  amazing story!  (and yummy Spike...)  ;)

like i said... loved every bit of it!

OH, I was so sorry to read the words "maybe now she would find some friends after all." cause I could tell it was THR END. It was well-written and I enjoyed reading it.

You came through with a terrific ending - bringing back the originator of all her misery, and misery is simply inadequate to describe what she suffered from Lukas and all his monster clients.  Plus getting her back into school so that she meets Willow and Xander was another nice touch. 

Best thing is that you kept things real with the admission that all the terrible nightmare existence she lived through would always still be lurking about in her consciousness, but both she and Spike would find the strength to live with them and past them.

Congratulations on your story - I am so glad that you used my banner - wish I had been able to get that second one to you, maybe on your next story or for some previous works I can do another one for you.

All my best wishes to you for the Holiday Season, with school and for the coming year -

A spuffy friend and grateful reader.

I like how the Slayer took over and killed 'em all -- suitably gruesomely -- exactly what Buffy needed.  Really well done.
