I love the friendship between Spike and Tara. I feel like she was always under-appreciated. I like that you're giving Tara a bigger part.

I like how Anya calls Xander out. It's nice to see the Scoobies being less hypocritical this time around while Buffy and Spike's relationship still has a natural tension and struggle to it.

Ooooh! I love the character interaction in this chapter. Spot on! :)

This is my favorite chapter so far. I'm really enjoying the story now that it is diverging more from the original show. You write dialogue really well. Not many people manage to capture all the Buffy character's personalities so well at once and give them lines as funny as the ones in the actual series. Keep up the good work. I would like to see more of you own ideas as far as major villains go though. I like the demons you made up, and I'm hoping dark Willow will not be a major part of this story as the end of this chapter is hinting it may. Also, please, don't kill Tara.

Loved this chapter. Snarky, snippy, episode-y... loved.

I like how her Slayer senses say "Go up," 'cause that's where Spike is. (Squee!)

I spent the entire morning reading this from the beginning...not sure what the Protocol is when catching up on a story, but had I reviewed each chapter there would have just been a bunch of repetitive posts in a row from me all saying the same thing-Love the story; Love the writing, Love the characterization-especially Spike; Love the dialogue; Love the wit and humor; Love the twists on canon...Well you get the picture. Very good stuff...Can't wait for more.

I love, love, love this story. I started it this morning on EF and had to come over here to continue because I simply. Wouldn't wait for more. Loved the twist with Buffy having the dream. Loved it.

Great chapter. Looking forward to more.

Argh, I really really wish Buffy had been able to find Spike herself!

Thank goodness for Ben! A very suspenseful chapter; I'm glad Spike is out if there but still want more! Very nice.

Oh atleast Spike got away! :)

Grin. One thing that's fun about Buffy and Spike: even when they're mostly getting along, they're still SUCH a MESS.

Ah, are we leading up to "Intervention" then? :)

Squee. I'm a horrible person, but I do kinda love the part of the story where Glory gets Spike. Mainly it's because of the opportunities for yummy comfort after all the hurting.

Also, Tara is awesome.

Great update. I really love Tara. Dying to know what happens next.

oooh noooo! Another good chapter, but a worrying development... very suspenseful.
