Awww, Spike's having a nightmare. Poor thing has been through so much.

Very nice seeing Buffy facing up to this situation like an adult, even though it makes her uncomfortable. I take it she separated herself from everyone after Dawn died, the loss of her mother and sister so close together being too much hurt to keep the others sharing her mission, too.

Author's Response: Yep, circumstances this time round have torn the Scoobies apart somewhat. Buffy's having to get on with it in a different way now. Thanks for reviewing. Read warning to next chapter before reading, hun.

nightmares? angel's minions? he stumbled on the cock ring and broke his nose? and i have an entire week to think about that.... how evil you are! i mean... judging by my third guess, only a souless creature would give me time to come up with these silly ideas... lol

Author's Response: LOL! *looks around for soul* This obviously triggered a whimsical mood in you! So not the reaction I was expecting - except maybe the evil bit! LOL Love your reviews, sweetie. Do read the warning at the beginning of the next chapter carefully, just in case. Hugs, sweetie. xxx

This is a great story. You do a really great job of writing Buffy's POV. I do like how you have not made Spike so weak and that there are still signs of the old Spike. Can't wait to read where this will lead.

Author's Response: Thank you, Bridget! I'm glad you are enjoying the characterisations and find them to be believable. Read warning next chapter and thanks for reviewing. BFN.

Another excellent chapter! I am so glad to see this Buffy able to feel some empathy. BTW: according to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary 'flattery' has connotations of specious praise. My last review was a 'compliment' (as is this review) since truth was (and is) being written. Thanks for an extremely good update.

Author's Response: Thank you, gaillee! I see I shal lhave to be careful with my choice of words in future. *eyes dictionary carefully* i will correct now and thank you for the compliment. I especially like that you are finding Buffy a sympathetic character, as is my intent. Well, both of them really. Thanks for your words, as usual. Read the warning at the beginning of the next chapter. BFN, sweetie.

Amazing chapter, as usual. I hope we won't have to wait too long to find out what had Spike screaming. Good job.

Author's Response: Thank you, Isabel! You'll have to wait the usual week I'm afraid, but next chapter will have lots of answers - and a few questions. Thanks for reviewing. BFN.

Ack! You took me from guffawing...“I’ve died and gone to hell,"... to aching... ‘I really don’t want to know what you’ve been through that you have to ask me that.’ ... and left me on tenterhooks. I almost regret reading this as a WIP, the way I can tell it's gonna twist me up. Almost.

Well done.

Author's Response: Thank you, caia! Don't want to twist you up so there will be a few calms along the way. Brace yourself for some bad stuff next week though. Thank you for your lovely words. BFN.

I just LOVE the way this fic is going..It's good to see the glimmers of the real Spike in there..

Poor Spike is just so damaged, and Buffy is just so mournful and lonely..I am just gleeful in anticipation of what I hope is to come. If ever two story characters have NEEDED one another more..then I don't know who they were.

You are doing a fantastic job! Looking forward to more : D

Author's Response: Hi, DaniD! Glad you liked that little peek at our boy. The two of them need each other badly - but wil they see that? Thanks for your kind words and hope you enjoy next chapter - which I'm a bit nervous about. *gulps*

ACK!! Cliffhanger! Cliffhanger! You're evil.. *LOL* I can't wait to see what happened to Spike to make him scream like that. Bad dreams, maybe?

Update soon, sweetie!

Author's Response: Sorry for the cliffhanger, luxferi! Don't quite know how that happened. *winks* Update next Monday when all will become clear - if you read that bit! BFN, sweetie.

You made me teary-eyed. Poor B & S have been through so much emotional pain. Hope they can heal each other!

Author's Response: Sorry for the teary eyes. Yep, the pair have certainly had some bad experiences and I'm hoping the same as you. Thanks for reviewing. BFN.

Enjoying the story immensely and am pained that I have to wait a week to read more! *sigh*

Author's Response: Am glad you're enjoying. Sorry to pain you but the only other option is for me to stop posting until it's finished - then I could post it quickly - but I don't think you'd like that! Thanks for reviewing, sweetie.

This story is absolutely gutwrenching and painful. It brings me close to tears every chapter, but this one was really heart-breaking. You are very good at this. The whole set-up is very interesting, by the way, if you play this right, it could be epic very easily, maybe with the result of the initiative taken down completely. That would be the best besides a spuffy happy end that I could imagine. Anyway, I´m constantly looking for your updates and you´re doing very well. Keep going!

Author's Response: Thank you, Angi! Your fulsome praise has me blushing. Sorry you are finding the story painful and hope that I can reassure by saying that a few up wil accompany the angsty bits. Will do my best re the Initiative - nasty folk that they are! Thanks so much for reviewing. Monday is update day - which I'm trying to keep to as I have to write and get it beta'd in between. BFN.

I'm very impressed with this story. You've created a world both foreign and plausible, and done the same with the characters. I like your drained and yet deeply moral Buffy, as well as your broken down but still recognizeable (on the inside, at least) Spike. Well done, and I'm looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Thank you, caia! I'm so pleased that you can see how they have become a product of their experiences here - but are still the essence of themselves underneath. More will be on its way Monday.

Wowie. There seems to have been a plethora of slavery/subservience fics coming out lately and I'm not generally that interested in them. I think you've done a good job in capturing the reader's interest though with the larger questions...what impact would such a situation have on one's sense of identity, self-worth and respect for oneself, or indeed for others? Just as important, how do you maintain your sense of self when forced to subjugate all that you value? And at the end of the day what can you find that would make it worth trying at all? I love fics that make me ask more questions than they'll immediately answer so I'll definitely be for more. 8-)

Author's Response: Thank you, katakata! I am really glad that it is making you ask questions - it's making me do the same as I write it! It is so tempting to go for the quick fix but certain issues must be explored before they can move forward (IMHO). Hope you continue to read - and, of course, review!
