she doesn't want a brother, you moron. not liking your spike at all right now, he's such a coward and yeah, buffy deserves better. i hate men that think they have the right to make decisions for us, not sure how i feel about this story right now. i'll probably give one more chapter a chance, but i'm not sure if i would be able to continue.

Author's Response: I hate guys who make decisions for us too...but it happens...Buffy is I promise going to tell him what a moron he was for not asking her what she wanted...but it won't be for a while...I hope you can continue with the story, but I did warn of angst and a seperation and thats just the way the story is planned, otherwise it'd be over rather quickly...neither of them could survive on their own before the story starts...they seperate, go as low as they can get til they realise what they want for themselves...thats just what I want from the characters before they get anywhere near being together...right now Buffy's too naive and Spike has issues, both of which I've brought up and both of which were being overlooked by them being together because they were too lost in it all...

Thanks for the very sad update. I'll be looking forward to more soon.

Spike cheated even twice and the second time he wasn't drunk. Now that's a question of trust ~ will Buffy ever trust Spike around Anya?
No, can't say I like it very much at the moment, it's so sad to see them so hurt. Not sure if Buffy will stay with him now.

I was rapt...complex and messed up....it's a good read...

Author's Response: Thanku lol that what I was going for (it sounds weird to admit that, but complex and messed up is perfect for now!)

Spike is such an ass! Looking forward to the next update!

Whoa...literally, I went whoa...love the curveball, things we're getting too cozy...good cliffie

...and the other shoe drops.

Interesting twist in that it was Spike that was the downfall of the Spike/Dru lovefest.

To be honest is brutal, hence the term brutally honest. Buffy's initial reaction will continue to sow seeds of doubt into her bergeoning relationship with Spike. She stewed about it all day and into the night until Spike returned--that's why it's so hard for Buffy to remember the giddiness of the very consummation of their relationship.

She, too, is not without feelings of guilt--at what they were to each (step-siblings) and what they are to each other (lovers). Shades of season 6 color their guilt. It's going to be interesting to see the circumstances that lead to Spike's past behavior--because he's always portrayed as the loyal one. The fact that you make Spike so fallable makes this story a more realistic read.



Author's Response: I'm glad you think so...I obviously love the character of Spike in the show, but like you said I did want to make him more fallable because he is human here and he's not a William sort of human, he's Spike, so he's made mistakes and they're on a Spike kind of scale...thankyou for the review and please keep reading :)

yep, that's what i guessed, it's refreshing seeing as how dru's always the one to cheat, but now buffy is going to have even more doubts, like if he did it once, he's capable of doing it again, but i'm hoping that's not the case here. i wonder who the other girl was.

Author's Response: All will be revealed (though it may seem an obvious choice, as I do like to go back to the show)...thanx for the review, I'm glad you found it refreshing, it was because I noticed that Dru is always the one to cheat that I made it Spike...I didn't want to write crazy evil Dru, I just wanted her to be a normal girl in Spike's past that he'd hurt, thats why in the first Chapter I didn't give a reason for Buffy's dislike of her, I just said they didn't get on...

I think this chapter worked really well, I liked the fact it had no dialogue until the end, looking forward to more

That was intense...it illustrates their NEED for each other

Author's Response: Thankyou!

Very hot! Hope the upcoming angst isn't too intense. Can't wait to read more!

You did a fine job! Although, I did want to mention a couple of spelling errors. Thanks for the update! I'm looking forward to the next.

Author's Response: Okay didn't see any myself before uploading and spell checked it just now and didn't find anything...
