Ooh, love the idea of this cascading set of changes to the verse.

OUCH. Oh my gosh, this is one of the most tragic AU's I've ever seen - and it all makes horrible, horrible sense, Incredibly plausible and sad.

She could tread carefully, she could break it slowly, gently. She could tell him to sit down first. But she saw how he hurt her, held her when she cried. And she knows better than to think someone can stop hurting people just like that.

THANK YOU for that. This is such a refreshing change from the "Tara and Spike are bestest buds" theme I see so often in fanfiction. And it's a reminder that Tara isn't a "nonjudgmental saint".

The part "held her when she cried" - more ouch.

Tara discovers how the rest of the Scooby Gang must have felt about him for years. She never knew him as a threat to her but when he meets her eyes, she’s terrified.

YES. He could be genuinely frightening.
