First off let me just say that the writer of this fic obviously knows how to write a well structured piece. The descriptions are very well done and they definitely have no problem with writing scenes that are shed with emotion. That being said I still didn't like this fic and it the main reason wasn't because it was B/S but because IMO both Buffy and Spike were written completely out of character. There were a couple scenes here and there where I saw glimpses of the characters I know but they were few and far between. The scene that really threw me was the conversation on the phone with Willow and Buffy. Willow guessing that Cordelia was the person Buffy saw and then guessing Spike was not what Willow would've said at all IMHO. But that's not huge. What really was hard was the amount of M/M slash and darkness of this fic. IMO, the character of Spike would never go for another man.... but since this is fanfic I'll let that slide. Still, what was written in that aspect didn't appeal to me at all. Neither did the way that Buffy was written. I don't know if I could see Buffy just going on a trip and banging mechanics along the way in her car for the hell out it and that's only a small part of what I disagree with in regards to how she was written. But still, overall like I said the fic was structured very well and the descriptions were very good.

I give this fic a 74

Ok, i tried to keep an open mind. but i found it hard to do at times. im sorry. i just cant see Buffy in that way. dont get me wrong, you do have talent, its just that it needs work.

and im not found of slash. nothing agaisnt you, its just that its hard for me to see M/M coming together. maybe its because, im a guy, but i just cant see it.

it was a solid effort though, and i encourage the author to keep writing. one of my problems with the fic is characterization. you really have to work on that. other than that, good writing.

my grade: 78
