Very good story so far!     I hope there is more.     I have read a lot of fan fiction, but none has ever addressed this kind of subject!    Excellent work.      Please keep writing, and it you do finish this, or have already finished it, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know where!

Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us!

loved it! i'm so sad to see you've stoped updating it... i hope you'll return to this one someday..  cause it's going to be interesting to see how it ends..

Great story so far. Could you try to convince your muse to work on this one again? I love the exploration of Buffy's dark, Slayer side. She and Spike truly are equals, both light and dark. You're showing both sides of Spike really well, too. Keep up the good work!

I really hope you update this story soon, i just found it and its GREAT so many things you could do with it!

Oh, I like this. I've read a lot of impaired Bufy fanfics, but this is the harshest, and the most believable I've read. I hope there's more soon

More Please!!!

wow, this is a really, really good story! i can't wait for more!

Wonderful chapter - a tiny chink in the armour.

I really love that Spike didn’t let Buffy’s words affect him like the others had. He seems to see more clearly what she is doing and isn’t going to let her get in the way of him helping her. I also loved that Joyce apologized to him and admitted that she allowed herself to be swayed not only by doctors but by Giles’ and Xander’s opinions. I loved how and what Spike meant when he said ‘I love her’ and that Joyce understood and accepted it. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it.

For all that Spike is written to be most vulnerable to cruel words, he did live with Angelus and Darla for twenty years. Do you think he hasn't developed a bit of a thicker skin? Of course he has. He even gave it a name: Spike. You've showed that well here. And then you turned around and showed us William. This in a chapter that was kind of about the duality of Buffy's nature. Nicely done!

He did have her if only for a moment but just long enough to realize he could. This is such a compelling fic and it happens every day. Wonderful read, thanks.

i really like the story i wish you could update more often i love stories that have spike helping buffy when no one else can

very good read, thank you.

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE, IS THIS A STORY FROM A WHILE AGO? I FEEL AS THOUGH I'VE READ PARTS OF IT BEFORE, BUT IT WASN'T FINISHED. I'M GLAD TO SEE IT HERE.

Well... Spike makes EVERYONE laugh, of course, hehe
