Nan.
Had to send feedback on your final 3 chapters of Blood is the Life before I ventured off into Blood Rites. (Am now facing the reality of reading both you and Rob in WIP status. Always an exciting, if at times heartbreaking and torturous proposition.) I see Blood Rites is now up on the s’cubie site – means I can read it here, although I was perfectly willing to go to AAS or your LJ. But I have bookmarked your LJ site for when I reach the end of current completed chapters and want to read the very very most recent stuff.
Liked these last 3 chapters a lot. For some insane reason, I didn’t realize that the story wasn’t done after chapter 12. Duh!
Really liked the opening bit of chapter 13 – Dawn watching Spike watching people – speculating on his hunting technique and his reaction to the “not quite Dawn” girl. Did I mention that I really missed the Dawn & Spike connection in the real seasons 6 and 7? Shopping!Spike is very funny – “over the line with ensembles” and his rivalry with Angel. Very nice touches. And then we go right slam from this into the suicide spell. Liked the contrast.
Anyway – had to send my appreciation for these last 3 chapters – nice resolution, that isn’t really resolution, so we have to keep reading (sneaky, sneaky, just like Joss). For example, the situation with Mike. Or the whole issue with the set-aside soul and what will that mean for all of them. His relationship with Buffy, etc. I am in agreement with those who are interested in seeing the possibilities of a soul-less and chip-less Spike.
On to the next bits!
