Great chapter, I'm just hoping Spike doesn't forgive Buffy in like a sentence or something if he forgives her at all...She needs guilty/pain/suffering ;)
I don't think I've ever had Spike just forgive Buffy in one sentence, so no worries there. :)

Well, I was really looking forward to reading this fic when I found it, but it looks like I'm going to have to sit this one out. You are a very creative and talented writer, but I can handle reading another Buffy bashing fic.

I realize this kind of thing is a lot of people's cup of tea, but it really turns me off. I think part of the reason is, there's been a huge amount of fics lately designed to make the reader hate Buffy and feel sorry for Spike. But, I simply can't take reading another one. I'm really tired of being made to hate Buffy. I know it's not popular, but I really like her.

Anyway - please don't be offened. I fully believe you should write what you want to write, but I think I'll pass this one up and wait for whatever your next prohect might be. :) because, I really do love your writing! :)
I'm sorry you feel that way. I didn't see it as Buffy-bashing, and you were supposed to feel bad for Spike. He had been ripped from heaven and now had to face visions and Angel.
I'm not offended, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me this. I'm going to be reworking this story, now that it is done, and I'll keep what you've said in mind. :)

Buffy’s behaviour towards Spike is beyond despicable and I hope he really lets her have it. His comment about not being in hell should really hit home with her and hopefully cause mass amounts of guilt.

fantastic read. buffy is being dense, even for buffy. i love her seeing the loathing in spike's eyes. it would be fitting (not on this site) if she lost him to fred ,or even dawn, or some new. thanks for the great read.
Thanks! I would find it very fitting if Buffy lost him to someone else. I just can't do that here, so I'll make her grovel. =)

wow...that was an emotionally wrenching chapter...i feel very little pity for buffy...she's got enough *self* pity, i think...poor spike...she's being so cruel, and he's given so much to her...and was he in heaven, too? or somewhere else...i'm absolutely hooked and cant wait for more :)
Thanks! Buffy really started irritating me at the end of the show. So now she has to earn Spike back. It is time she realised that she was not the center of the universe.
And poor Spike was no where near hell. I'll get more out as soon as I can.

It makes more sense that Spike wasn't in Hell than he wasn't . Even lacking a soul , he fought to do good in the service of love. Then once he got a soul, he died to save the world. He died in a state of grace.

Even if it turns out that there is some spell making Buffy act like that , she's going to have to do some serious crawling to get back with Spike and I for one will enjoy every bit of it.
I got the idea from a few comments made when Spike first came back. I think it was the second episode of the season(the first full one Spike was in) were he asked if he was in hell and Lorne told him no, just L.A. And we all remember Buffy asking Dawn the same thing once she was brought back. ;)

I plan on making her earn him back. Spike has done enough reaching out. It is now her turn. =)
