She draws her strength from human pain, and Spike is fighting that? I don't know if it's possible, but that makes me think Spike must have really let his demon loose in a big way, burying the humanity in him. Just what will Buffy find when she does reach him?

Lots of exposition in this chapter, but you managed to keep the immediate reactions of the characters, and their doubts and thoughts, clear as the story prepares to move forward. Looking forward to more!

Every time I read a new chapter I am in awe of your writing. Aspiring writers should worship at your feet! I love how this isn't just a story were it's Evil Spike...then blam!.....Good Spike.....followed by Bufffy falling madly in love...then happily ever after. I love the way that you are building the relationship, building the story...and Thank You! for giving Buffy a little bit of a back bone! I was so glad to see her say hey I'm doing this with or without you. Congrats on this fantastic story. I practically live by my computer for your fabulous updates!

Glorious!! So glad she just told everyone what's what and now she's going after Spike. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us.

Nice Beowulf-y verse, there.
I liked the line "Something inside me, in that place where my Slayer strength comes from, growls at that thought."  I picture something coiled down inside her waking up, getting angry.  She is listening to herself now, which is really good.
