I like thks story a lot. I read it months ago, but failed to review (sorry), so I just read it again to refresh my memory. Some mistakes (most in the beginning) that could be cleaned up, and I think Giles seems kind of out of character at times, both in some of the dialogue, and in some of his thought; at times he ponders things that the reader has no idea he should even know about, and he seems too quick to get on the Spuffy cheerleading squad (though I do get that this is a fantasy, and I think nearer to the end of the story his Spuffy acceptance seems more realistic and not as strangely excited, but tempered with Giles' usual caution).
I actually love the "rape" scene, I think it does end up being kind of romantic, and I think it's good that neither you or Buffy shied away from Spike's demon; he IS a vampire and a lot of fics ignore that and just make him an uber-man, a completely idealized romantic figure. You struck a nice balance of harsh brutality and loving devotion.
The ending kind of drops off abruptly, though. You bring in the Faith/Darla/Angelus prompt but then do nothing with them, so I'm not sure why you brought them up. Why nut just wrap up the Adam/Maggie plot point and then tie it up with a bow with setting the scoobies/Spuffy/Angel on their way, happily Sunnydale-y ever after?
All in all, a great read, with just a few little flaws. Recommended.

This was wonderful. When Spike became himself was a critical moment but Buffy was able to say the right thing.

It was brutal but in this story it does make sense that it will go like this. It was hard for Buffy but I think it will be worse for Spike when he's back and remember this.

It makes a good point about how evil humans can be and that evil isn't something you can see.

Here we can really see how evil the Initiative is, but we can also see that Riley isn't evil, just a soldier.

I'm sorry I haven't reviewed the other chapters but the fic is finished so I'm reading it all in one go, but I felt the need to review this chapter.
I'm usually against rape of any kind and I tend to stay away from rape no matter how good the rest of the story is (which btw, this one is awesome so far :D).
This time however I found it tolerable because a) Spike is not himself,
b) because Buffy, while not enjoying it, let it happen even though she wasn't very happy about it and
c) it wasn't brutal all the way through.
All in all it wasn't very hard to read it because you know that thay love eachother and that the rape was just a horrible consequence of the torture he had to go through.
It's still good that you put up the warning in the beginning of the chapter and I thank you for that because I don't know how I would have reacted without it and it gave me a choice of not reading it.
Apart from all that I'm really enjoying this story and I must say that find it refreshing reading a story that deviates from the recurring plots in the spuffy fandom.
I know that this a very very old story of yours and I haven't read any of your more recent fics so the next part might be unnecessary and if it is, please ignore me but I think it would be nice with slightly shorter paragraphs. It's not all the time but now and then the paragraphs get quite chunky which makes it harder to read and somewhat disrupts the flow of the chapter.

I've just come back and read this story again to see if it was as good as I'd remembered. It is. I'm still waiting for the promised season 5 sequel........... I need to know about the Angelus slayer dream and how Buffy & Spike manage the Dracula and Glory situation plus Dawn... and Joyce's illness.... {taps foot impatiently}

it has been a long time since I read this story - and I think I am going to enjoy it even more now -
Don't know if you write anymore Buffyverse or if you ever check your reviews - just wanted to "thanks" for this wonderful work that you added to the Buffyverse FF world.

I really loved this story. It had great action, smut and Spuffy. Even though I like Angel bashing, its also nice to see a good relationship between the two vampires.
Really love it.
