Well first out of the gate...

I'm not a big fan of slash - in fact I usually avoid it, and although I was part of the group, I actually found this quite hard to read initially.

After putting aside my EEWW feelings, I was actually very surprised with the story. I loved that things weren't "happy happy joy joy" and the fact that it examined the impact on both the main characters. Other people (ie ships) weren't bashed and Buffy and Spike had very human feelings and reactions. I like that Spike did a lot of soul searching, but so did Buffy.
Overall, its a very good fic which I rate at 90.

I really did not like this story at all. But that has to do with personal taste. I could recognize objectively that it was well written, and has a good pace. But I found much of the subject matter . . . oooky. There was a bit too much of bondage, torture, slave imagry and facts for me. Plus I really didn't like Buffy having a series of one-night-stands or Spike working as a male prostitute, ick.
Plus. . . spike was such a wuss.

And I must say, last session I was signed up for Spuffy team and my favorite author writes spuffy, so I love the ship, just not this story.

I will give this story a 70, purely for the ability of the writer to craft a story well.
