Are you a therapist?  'Cos I'm loving the soothing techniques you used. 

 

I can't find the right words here...I man,soul? WOW...and WHOA!

Nice way to bring in his being ensouled - nice surprise

Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to update or I will die here sweetie, this is getting better and better.
Spike has a soul now, wow, and no chip and ohhhhhhhhhh Goddddddddd I have to breathe....
Update soon please.

Nice update - maybe Buffy willact like a grownup now Spike has his soul -- or maybe not! She's so contrary. More soon please!

Giles better watch out. Joyce is not going to let him get out of this one. And what a way for Spike to get the chip removed and for Buffy to find out about his soul.

Nice to see that the Council isn't above making deals with demons, even if they expect their Slayers to be.

Wow! Talk about a revelation! This is a wonderful fic - lots of lovely, wicked plot twists. And yet another evil cliffie. You get off on torturing your readers, don't you? ;)

wow...what a story...heartbreaking and intriguing and sad all at once...i hope she's willing to accept the soul as a good substitute for the chip...great job, very much looking forward to more, love :)

Himmmmm! it is getting even more interesting can't wait to read more, please update soon...

OMG! He got his soul back! And that's how you end the chapter! You're so evil!

Thank you for the update *claps* but you do realize you left us with another cliffie, right? Of course they would have that kind of power. If they could take out the chip it's not any leap of the imagination that they could give him back "his" soul and not a cursed on like Angelus. This is awesome, can't wait 'til the next one, thanks.

Now that is a cliffhanger... O_O

Can't wait to see more of this

You´re a wonderful writer. I really like the fact, that you decided to let Spike and Buffy act like adults...and not claw their heads off.
Nevertheless...evil cliffhanger again :-)! Hope you´ll update soon!

Lovely chapter....such a great showing of how Buffy's anger was her defense, like Spike's lies where his. Once he relaxed and started with the nicknames, giving her a sense of his still caring/loving her it opened thing up between them so they could really talk....if that makes sense. Me wants more, and I know I will have to be patient...I will try.....cause now I need to know about the SOUL, LOL

Ah, had a feeling....

And Buffy can be such a bitch!! You don't just get to hit people just because you're stronger than they are, or have strength period.

Gah!!! He exchanged the chip for the soul? Thanks for churning this chap out so we'd have something to read - but what a cliffie to leave us for a week on! And really sweet scene between the two of them. Glad she got over being mad at him.

i love this cliffie...more!

very good read, thank you. how long, after buffy gets past no chip and a soul, will she remember he wants to leave after helping dawn?

Oh that is to great, I will miss it, when you go away again.
More please.

You know, Buffy does need to learn she can't just hit out physically. But I think he actually deserves it this time. I never thought I would ever say this, but I really don't like this Spike.

He stays away from Buffy for years. Then he comes back and blatantly lies to her. The girl already has trust issues - and frankly, I don't blame her. I think she has a valid point about the chip - what else has he lied about?? Mate, chip.... the list goes on.

That reviewer said exactly what my issue is! But seriously - if I don't have some sort of crazy thing against Spike in a story - it's VERY unusual - Not real sure what my problem is...

Interesting! Hope to hear mre soon!

But btw - my review for the last chap? I meant I want 'MY love FOR Spike' to come back' - it's obvious he still loves Buffy, I'm just simply having some issues with him - which is completely normal for me! lol

WOW Gilly great chapter!!!!! Man and a whole week away! Well I hope you get to write some !!!!

Can't wait for more!!!!

Thank you!
