that was so sad - poor Buffy - what a wonderful take on a way it could have ended for them.

Very great story, maybe the start for your version of S7 - the quest of Buffy

Very sad, but at least it was Buffy that the blame completely and utterly falls on.

I like that Spike finally stood up for himself using the truth of everything that had gone on between them. I really loved how he told her that he would not be the monster that her and her friends claim him to be, that he was above that. It was really a beautiful statement and one that he had actually been practicing for some time.
Thank you for reviewing!! You guys rock! =)

Great story, maybe the way it should have gone.
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it.

I like your version of Seeing Red. It was not fluffy but it was nice having Spike stand up for himself. I think you could write more but Buffy should be honest with herself. The angst for both parties was there. Great job.
Thank you! I didn't think it could be fluffy at that point even if she was honest. They both have too many issues to deal with first.

Yes, would've loved to have Spike leave with his dignity and Buffy broken, but then we wouldn't of had Season 7 and him ensouled. Good one shot.
Glad you liked it.

I really enjoyed this story. I get so tired of the continual 'kick the Spike' that goes on in the show and in a lot of fics. I love all things Spuffy of course but its good to see Buffy get taken down a peg or two sometimes... especially if it helps her to realize the value of Spike and how unfair they've treated him.

Is there any more to this story? Great job so far.
I completely agree. I get tired of 'kick the Spike' too. Unfortunately it is cannon. =(
I'll try to expand this story into a longer piece but it may take sometime. I've got three stories to finish and I refuse to leave them undone.

Thanks for the review!

You can't leave it like that! I like this Spike about time he let Buffy know a few home truths... but really you can't leave it like that, it's not nearly finished!!
:::throws hands in the air::: All right. I give. I'll try to add more, but it may take awhile.
Glad you liked it though. =)

yes!! i'm sitting up and cheering for spike!! he told her what she needed to hear, and did what he needed to do..i love it! wish this was more than a one-shot, i'd love to see where it could go from here, with buffy having to earn back his love...think about it... lol..great job
Thank you soooo much! Your review made me feel a bit better after one review I read. I know that posting here means that there will be some people who don't like what I write and that's fine. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. =( But your words have lifted some of the gloom so thank you again.

um, no thank you. i never thought i would actually prefer the episode. you really made buffy an even bigger bitch than she was on the show. sorry, didn't like it.
You don't have to appologise for stating your opinion. I'll admit that it really hurts, but you are entitled.

Oooo, the bitch got what was coming to her.

Yeah, it would have been nice for Spike to show some pride. She got away with so much because he allowed it. Not that I think it was right, either way.
I agree as well. AS the saying goes, two wrongs do not make a right. Buffy should not have treated Spike the way she did and Spike should not have let her.
I'm glad you liked it though. =)

What he said is spot on - but very painful!
I'm glad you think it was 'spot on'. It was supposed to be painful but then the original episode was even worse in my opinion.
