I can really understand Buffy’s need to throw up when realizing even some of the horror Spike had been through. I loved his explanation of why he helped Dawn. Thanks so much for the updates, I really enjoyed them.

'She knew my name - so I just did what she told me.' How very like Dawn LOL. Love the fic.

Yup, Buyer Beware is a great fic as well, been waiting all summer for an update. What she had been through with Spike was nothing compared to what she can only imagine happened to him, her having to vomit attested to that. Great job, Fabulously written, thanks for the updates.

This was one intense chapter. I like it that you had Spike realize that in spite of all the violence Buffy has experienced in her life, she wasn't ready to even imagine what had been done to him. As badly as Buffy has hurt Spike in the past (and he has hurt her), this kind of torture was something she couldn't even begin to fathom. You can almost see the blinders she's been wearing regarding her feelings for him and their relationship beginning to fall away. I can't wait to read more.

Fantastic chapter. This is one of my favorite fics, I'm glad to see you are still writing it. Sometimes when authors don't update super often I get paranoid they are dropping the fic. (i've personally been guilty of this.)

Anyway it's wonderful, I really like it, and I'm glad to see that Spike is starting to believe Buffy and also that Buffy is starting to understand the gravity of what's been done to him, and that she recognizes all that time she spent stalling, was time he was being tortured on her sister's behalf.
I'm one of those annoying people that wanders from project to project on a whim, and I do write very slowly. This will be finished, 18 chapters best guess, and some of the closing scenes are already written in rough draft, there's no doubt this will be finished, unless I get hit by a bus. But it'll be slow coming, probably, and frequently interupted by other things. I already have one WIP that's been sitting for a couple of months, should get back to that one really! Thanks for your review on BS Central, helped me find this site again, I post this everywhere when I can but my fic can be found first and most reliably on LJ. http://constance-b.livejournal.com

okay, my heart just lurched at the end there and my eyes are all full of tears...that's so incredibly heart breaking...poor spike...at least he's beginning to trust her again...i wonder when/if he'll start to remember their past together? his attitude about it all...so chillingly accepting...it just rips your heart out...so very very well done, pet, looking forward to more :)

Oh please update often (and soon). This is so compelling and I am dying to find out why it's years of torture and slavery for Spike but only months since Buffy and he had the AR incident (?) ....I'm thinking a dimensional thing with time going at a different rate. I DO hope this is her Spike and not another one because I'd feel so bad for this one that I'd be rooting for him to win the girl even if her Spike was off getting his soul.....Okay enough speculation....

See...that is why you must keep this story coming. I'll run mad with thoughts of how it could be going! This is wonderfully written.

Excellent chapter. I'm glad that he's finally able to talk and that Buffy is actually getting a clue. Three years? Wow.

I love Buyer Beware, but the fic is not in being updated and I think it would be fair to you to stop comparing. Your story has many original elements and your style of writing is different. This is a Buffy and Spike story and therefore it is inevitable to find similar characterization. All this to say, I love your story and please continue updating.

And still gives me the shivers and wiggins...

All that in just a few months...or was it only a few months where he's been?
