I'm reading now so that I can get a good idea for a banner.  Looking forward to reading more chapters.  I enjoy your writing very much.  The summary and prologue have got my interest.  :)
OH and the banner is beyond perfect and beautiful too!  I'm hoping to have time today to post it everywhere.  THANK YOU for sharing your talent and thank you for reading as well.

Was Spike the one to take their involvement from friendship to physical relationship? I clearly remember that Buffy was the one who attached her lips to his. Am I wrong? Did Spike attacked her hot,pink,pouty lips? Did he threw the first punch at "Smashed"? I mean,alright,he did  call her and got into her way a few times,but that wasn't an act which screamed "Come on,jump my bones right away!!"
Also he wasn't the one to kiss her at "Once More,With Feeling";they kissed each other. I can't know about "Tabula Rasa" kiss,no one can,but I ,again,remember that Spike turned around to leave before the kiss,just like the time he did at "Once More,With Feeling".
You are so right....Buffy is the one but Spike was always considered the one who pushed it (and her) to that point.  ITA that SHE was the one but even Spike seemed to think he was responsible.

Liked it. Although I think raped/violated victims will have some kind of withdrawl affect on them for atleast a while. And a vampire like Spike being helpless will definitely have some consequence. But there were none. Although he had a lot of withdrawl after getting the soul which is different from Season 7 of Buffy. He was able to overcome it in that quicker.
Thank you. As for rape victims it is individual to the person (I am one myself)...sometimes denial will cause a person to not show it "bothered" them at all....of course it comes back to bite them eventually. The different reaction to the soul is due to the different motive in getting it. On screen it was to prevent himself from ever being able to hurt Buffy and prove he was worthy of her...he was faced with a view of his actions that pulled the rug out frmo under him and madness ensued. In this story it was to pacify Giles more than anything and Spike hadn't "betrayed" Buffy the way he thought he had on screen. Thanks again. K

Great story! I usually can't stand much Paingel but you wrote him brilliantly. Xander also! You're right about Xander's good points - just a nudge in the direction of rational rather than irrational, and it's not hard to make a nice Xander believable. This is one of the best stories I've read in awhile, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great work! :)
Thank you! I really do love all the characters and try to see all sides of them. I appreciate the feedback, you made me smile. K

i read this all in one sitting, which is saying something because i don't like angst or souled Spike but you pulled it off...great story.
Thank you so much. Glad you read it in spite of the parts you don't usually like. I prefer my angst (reading or writing) to have a happy or at least hopeful ending so I am careful about the stories with angst that I do. I love all incarnations of Spike that feel true to me. Glad it worked for you. K

Okay, let me first say that this was a wonderful story. I read it all in one day because I just couldn't stop. I barely even stopped to eat or use the bathroom. I loved how you changed the results by changing just a few different decisions along the way. Makes you really think about how fragile the tapestry of life really is. Taking away or adding one decision or mistake and destiny can be changed. Also, that Loreena McKennitt song is one of my favorites ever. It has inspired me on more than one occasion as well.
Wow I am honored! I've read some stories that put challenges on my bladder too and am pleased I wrote one *grin*. Glad you enjoyed it and ITA on Loreena's song. K
