As a B/X fan, I was prepared to not like this story. That said, I actually found myself enjoying what I was reading. The author has a gift for being able to detail each scene, to the point of where I could close my eyes and actually see it happening. While I still am not a Spuffy fan, and did not greatly enjoy the scenes of Spike being tortured(there's just no other word for it, whether he asked for it or not, he was simply being tortured by that other man) I could understand how such events could come to be. The author made it very clear why Spike and Buffy were behaving the way they were and it was not out of character, in my opinion at least. I may not have liked the pairing but I did like the story, so I give it a 90.

I went to read this story, with as much an open mind as I could muster. I have read B/S fics in the past, and quite enjoyed them. I didn't really like this one.
It was very well written and everything, but I just couldn't really see it happening in my mind, which I think is important for a story.

I don't think Spike would let himself be 'raped' or 'tortured' by other men as the story went. He was a total wimp in this fic. I like Spike strong and fiesty, so this was a bad point for me.
And the way it kept saying he hated Buffy and suddenly was back in love with her.

I give it a 65, for being well written, but not plausible in my opinion.
