Always love reading your work - don't think there are any that I have not loved - 

interesting start.

  Very foreboding opening chapter.  I think I read some of this story before,  I don't know where I was going with that.  Anyway, I dug it.

 

Very well written, as usual ;) Great beginning. I'm so sorry I'm just starting it now. I wanted to read this story since you started it, but life kept me busy.

I don't know where this is going, but its very well done.

Very nice scene with Joyce and Spike - although I don't believe for a minute that Spike would pass up a bag of free human blood. LOL.

joyce and spike work well together. buffy's musings show a move towards reality. very good beginning, thanks for the read.

Great Spike/Joyce conversation, I enjoyed reading their inner thoughts as they spoke with each other. Buffy's musings were very insightful too. Loved the bit about the grapes, learning customs from other countries is fun. :) Wonderful start!

An interesting start. I love showing Spike being evil and managing to care for Joyce and even Dawn. I'm looking forward to more of Spike being the good man he once was, whether he wants to be or not, and Buffy finding out all he has to offer.

Smashing mysterious opener!

Lovely intriguing start. Nice tease with Joyce's request being kept secret. Good voices on all characters.

Very fascinating start. Loved spike and joyce chatting =)

I like this so far! Spike and Joyce's talk was funny and sweet. Please continue soon!

hmmm...where did that come from? not exactly what i expected....i wonder if he's up to something? you've really done a wonderful job with your characterizations, and i loved how you wrote spike's visit to joyce in the hospital... excellent work, love, looking forward to more :)
