Whew! What a powerful, emotionally wrenching chapter. Fantastic. Man, has Spike got a dilemna on his hands. He's really walking a fine line here. Caught between not only the need to do physical damage to the demon in order to weaken her, but also his own demon's desire for revenge and all the while not wanting to hurt Buffy's body. And now he's also got to deal with the pressure of finding a way to keep Dawn safe. You are a wicked author, and I can't wait to see how you pull this off!  |

| Deb | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 09:38 pm |
| Great job of getting Spike and Buffy able to defeat/subdue the deamon. Go Spike! |
| |
| Verda | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 09:34 pm |
| Evil jl! Making us think that it was holy water! So relieved that it wasn't, I can handle only so much angst. Looking forward to their revenge against her. Better chapter, less angst. Thanks. |
| |
| Bridget | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 09:30 pm |
| I hope this works. Good chapters |
| |
| Lynda | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 07:38 pm |
| Yes. It is time for Spike to take command. It's time to bad Buffy entity to say bye,bye. |
| |
| Robyn | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 06:52 pm |
| You really are evil with the cliff hangers. I was so worried about Spike drinking from the bottle because the Slayer is cruel enough to force him to drink holy water, and yet what happened makes perfect sense, it would take him far to long to heal from such an injury and she wants Dawn dead now. Thanks for the update, I really enjoyed it. |
| |
| Nikkole | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 05:41 pm |
| NICE! I love you, but your cliffies are killing me here! I hope that him biting over the other mark works. I think it will, but hopefully it will be enought to allow Dawn to get to and weaken her. Really good chapter, and getting better and better! Keep it up! |
| |
| Kimberly Adams | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 03:59 pm |
This seems a bit more hopeful and I can handle it more and it is still a great story. I look forward to the next installment and will look in the next couple of days.

| Emily | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 02:31 pm |
| Great job! Although last chapter i did not feel this way, I find that this update it would be a near impossibility to mistake Buffy's objective as anything else other than win this battle with as little damage to *anyone* as possible. It was great to read another one of your chapters, and I'll be biting my nails until next time |
| |
| vladt | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 02:27 pm |
| great update, thank you. as i've mention before you are evil. what a wonderfully evil place to stop. |
| |
| kim | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 01:07 pm |
Finally getting to the draining.
I've always thought that if a vampire wanted to, they could drain you in seconds, at least enough to where you'd be ineffectual. |

| spikes mrs | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 11:58 am |
i can't read it if he drinks the holy water i'm going to cry

| Ooh! oh! oh! ::bounces in place:: I can't wait to see them get back at that rabid rancid bitch. |
| |
| BT | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 09:15 am |
GAH! Tap water? You are really, really evil. You do know that, right?
And stopping like this? Now I KNOW you're trying to drive us all crazy.
Seriously, this is a great story. Thank you. |
| |
| pfeifferpack | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 08:51 am |
A tasty plan indeed! Excellent.
You finally had Buffy realize and admit the major issue of this entire story....yeah you!
he would not be going through this, any of this, right now, if not for her terrible agreement, in the beginning, to Giles’ plan to bring Spike “under her control” – to take a creature already helpless and further violate his dignity and free will.
And the whole thing had been so utterly, completely unnecessary and destructive.
*…I’m so sorry…*
Giles and his needless plan just because he was tired of chaining Spike in the bathtub! Willow and her "improvements". Buffy and her insistance on seeing Spike as the evil vampire all for no real purpose and all leading to great pain and suffering especially for Spike. She needed to see and admit this. So glad you had her do so!!
Keep it coming. Looking forward to all getting their just reward.
Kathleen

| please don't take this the wrong way but i read your stories like i watch horror movies...with my hand over my eyes, peeking thru my fingers to avoid the icky parts...your stories captivate me yet wig me out...i need to know what's going on and how it ends but the journey is somewhat disturbing...kind like life though, i guess...keep writing you go a unique voice and i'll keep reading with my hands over my eyes |
| |
| Athenewolfe | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 08:10 am |
OHHHHHHHHH but but you cant stop there - that is evil and cruel and just plain mean! You wicked woman, now I am going to have bitey fantasies all afternoon! I loved this chapter and how you are wrapping it up, I was terrified for Spike with the water and am so glad it is plain tap water now. Thank goodness, I can't wait to see what will happen next and how you are going to wrap this up. Thanks for the good read!
P.S but that was still an evil evil cliffhanger *Giggles* |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 07:35 am |
| Better chapter. Much better. I wonder if that part ofBuffy Angst was just for little ol' me? |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Necessary Evils | 08/07/2006 07:33 am |
| Rip her throat out!! I'm sure there's some magical way to give Buffy a new body... yeah... |
| |
| Robyn | Secret Rendezvous | 08/07/2006 12:28 am |
| This chapter was just painful and it's really sad that the only way for Spike to keep those he loves safe is to go through the horror and torture from the Slayer. I am really hoping that his torment will all be over soon. It’s nice to be caught up again and I am really looking forward to the next updates. |
| |
| Athenewolfe | Secret Rendezvous | 08/06/2006 07:44 pm |
| ouch how evil - can't wait to see how they bind the demon |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Secret Rendezvous | 08/06/2006 11:42 am |
| Way creepy. You really know how to pile on total badness. |
| |
| Nikkole | Secret Rendezvous | 08/06/2006 09:31 am |
| You have a very interesting mind to come up with all of this stuff! OMG, HOLY WATER?! I hope that Dawn stays back for a while. I don't want her to get hurt. It seems that the dominance ritual didn't work, so that is good, I hope. Looking forward to more! |
| |
| Deb | Secret Rendezvous | 08/06/2006 05:15 am |
| Ouch...this hurts. Hope you have some soothing coming quickly. She's a real meanie. |
| i do, i promise |
| |
| MarzBar | Secret Rendezvous | 08/06/2006 12:34 am |
| Aaaarrrrgh! WTF is wrong with this slayer demon? Is she really Angelus in disguise? |
unh-uh...she's just evil  but she's wanting to make him do something he wouldn't do ever unless he had no choice, to prove it worked ..sigh...looking up soon though |
| |
| HPfan | Secret Rendezvous | 08/06/2006 12:15 am |
| Oh, no! Not another evil cliffie! How can you be so cruel to your devoted readers? Guess the slayer demon took lessons from you, huh? lol Hope you hurry and update soon. The suspense is killing me. |
| lol...thanx |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 09:05 pm |
| Grrr argh! |

| FetchingMadScientist | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 05:50 pm |
| I love angst, don't get me wrong. I even write a good bit of it. But, *seventy* chapters, and not even a little break? I'm still with ya, not quittin' now. Just gotta say...I'm holding out for a BIG payoff- in a good way, if you know what I mean. Pretty please...? |
| all my fics are heavy on the angst though, but the darkest part of this one is about through... thanx for the review |
| |
| Verda | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 05:06 pm |
| OMG jl! that's so twisted! Relieved that Buffy was there for him. That is one sick bitch. Making him drink holy water, just sick! Make me nauseous just to think about it. It'll destroy his vocal cords and voice box. You are evil jl! Hee! Hee! Trying to get over the angst of it and find some humor here. Angst filled but great. Thanks. |
yep, she's scary...um...trying to find humor in it though, that's scary in itself!  lol ... no, i'm going for sheer angst ..but it's almost over...thanx |
| |
| vladt | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 04:00 pm |

Drinking holy water?????
Can I say how much I really hate this plan??!!! |
| yep....not so much with the plan like-age here, either |
| |
| Shanna | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 03:11 pm |
| I've been following this story since you started and I can only hope that the Spike torture stops. I think he has more than proven himself and his love as well as his loyalty. Please no more torture. I am ready for some healing and Spuffy love...maybe 10 chapters worth!! |
| thanx |

uhhh, what can i say that won't have already been said? I guess all I can do is reinforce the YOU MUST UPDATE LIKE YOU NORMALLY DO!!!!!!
...please? |
| more soon |
| |
| ilpopi | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 02:28 pm |
I like the story but the endless torture is getting a bit boring by now.
I don't really get why Mr_Chaos is thinking Buffy doesn't care and she is so horrible. I find her quite the opposite. Very compassionate, loving and understanding in the later part of this story.
The ongoing ritual seems to be the ONLY way to defeat the demon and it is something they absolutely don't want to do but they just don't have any options left at this time. They both agreed to it and Buffy is trying to make it as easy as possible for Spike.
No. I don't get the idea at all that Buffy somehow wants Spike to be raped and humiliated. |
| dont worry, the torture is almost over...next chappie things start looking up....i agree with you, buffy is trying to make a painful, horrible situation as bearable as possible...thanx for the kind review |
| |
| gotkona | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 01:51 pm |
| yes that would be awful if he has to drink but I guess we must wait for the next chapter before we find out. |
| yep |
| |
| Emilee | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 01:30 pm |
| Oh bummer. Poor Spike. I hope that something good happens soon. Excellent update, can't wait for more. |
| it will, next chappie things start loooking up |
| |
| slaymesoftly | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 01:04 pm |
ROFL at your warning. You really think if anyone was easily squicked, they would still be here? LOL - I know you needed to add the extra warning, it just struck me funny considering the whole fic. *is bad*
About time for that bitch to get sent back to hell where she belongs, isn't it? *looks around anxiously for the next chapter* |
| lol..good point very soon , veyr soon |
| |
| Morrigan | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 01:04 pm |
| Ugh! That sadistic bitch makes me wanna toss my cookies. Can we kill her now? |
| very soon |
| |
| Bookchick of the Novel Clan | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 11:34 am |
| ACK! God she is sadistic. |
| yep |
| |
| pretty_in_fangs | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 11:28 am |
| ::whimper:: You write so well, I can't help feeling like I'm there. |
| which might not be such a good thing |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Secret Rendezvous | 08/05/2006 07:53 am |
Ok, so for once I am not going to complain aobut Spike being stripped of his manhood.
I am going to say something else: I hate Buffy.
And I don't mean, "I hate the being in Buffy"
No, I mean I hate Buffy Summers.
Except for part ofa paragraph in this chapter, she has never felt sorry for what she is currently doing to Spike. I don't sense any remorse, any saddness, any regret. When she tells him to let himself be raped by the Slayer, she isn't sorry, she isn't going, "I feel so bad about this."
She's mad that HER MATE is sleeping with the demon. She's mad...yea, and I'm mad that her ass hole little friends that she still defends did this to Spike. Does that mean we can all force her to f--- Clem? (...well, that's an interesting image)
Hell, I sense more of her desire for the demon to rape and beat him then I feel sorrow from her. I don't know,maybe the comments about what she will do to Spike later, in her mind (look, i'm acting like she's a real person!) are a form of apology.
They ain't.
They are more empty promises: YOu face horrific torture, be raped by our enemy, dothings you don'twant to do and loss your dignity, and when this is over we can boink in the woods! Yea!
Notice the sarcasm.
Maybe I am spoiled in Trusting You, where Buffy has to pay the Piper. In that story, she has to fight to prove herself to Spike, fight to gain his acceptance. Here,she is hurting him, expects him to befine with it, shows no emotion other then anger and demand. I can only hope that when Spike beats the Slayer, and buffy comes out, she does not find a happy Spike.
I really hope that, as a writer, youwill not take the cheap way out. Buffy has to pay the emotional piper here, and there is alot more story to be told: Willow, Giles...they both need to be dealt with. Dawn's story needs to be wrapped up...and Spike...
After everything done to Spike, you owe him a chance to glare at Buffy,tell her that he loves her but needs time, and then have HER work her hardest to make it up to him.
Please, don't do a, "We beat the dmeon, Spike is super happy, story ends." You are better then that. |
| i completely agree with you in some ways...but you must understand that at this point they're kind of out of options...there's nothing else they could really do, so she's just trying to make it as easy on him as possible, to make him forget what's happening so that they can *both* survive....thanx for the review, hope you like the rest |
| |
| Robyn | Victory in Defeat | 08/06/2006 03:52 pm |
| These past few chapters have been hard to read yet knowing that there is a plan and a purpose to what Spike is going through, as well as Buffy’s support and encouragement, have helped. |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Victory in Defeat | 08/06/2006 11:32 am |
| Intense, but why can't Dawn be with the demon now? I know, evil writer will reveal all in six or seven chapters. |
| |
| HPfan | Victory in Defeat | 08/06/2006 12:03 am |
| Had computer problems and missed this chapter when it was first posted. This is just... intense. Gotta go read the next chapter - NOW. |
| more soon |
| |
| gotkona | Victory in Defeat | 08/04/2006 03:19 pm |
| wow is all I can say |
| thanx |
| |
| Nikkole | Victory in Defeat | 08/04/2006 08:44 am |
| WOW, what a chapter! I am really worried about what happens now. Where is Dawn? I know she was on her way, wasn't she? Can't wait for the next chapter! |
| yep...she was on her way...more soon |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 08:29 pm |
| Now get to the better times *pouts* |
| yes, ma'am!! |
| |
| Joyce | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 08:11 pm |
| So looking forward to an explanation of this hopefully effective strategy. I'm gripping my seat. |
| coming right up, pet |
| |
| Verda | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 07:43 pm |
| jl, Love the story, just can't read some of it . I'll just skim over the hard parts, kinda like watching a horror flick through your fingers. Just wanted you to know. Wouldn't miss the end for the world. *hugs* |
| that's fine, hope it's not too hard for you thanx |
| |
| spikes mrs | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 04:31 pm |

| very soon |
| |
| Bookchick of the Novel Clan | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 01:54 pm |
| Gah!!!! No!!! I am gonna have a heart attack, I love this! |
| thanx so much |
| |
| vladt | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 01:53 pm |
| tough and excellent read, thank you. still questioning if buffy really knows what she is asking of spike. |
| thanx |
| |
| kim | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 12:48 pm |
| Buffy's awfully sure of herself, so having no true establishment that this will really work. Let's see how she'd do with all this torture in reverse. Geeze, Spike has to do all the freakin' work....just reminds me whose stupid idea got them in this mess in the first place. |
| you're too right...poor spike...but it will all work out in the end |
| |
| Athenewolfe | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 12:48 pm |
NOOOOOOOOOO even faking NOOOOOOO okay I have to see what is going to happen next
|
| lol..coming up soon |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 12:46 pm |
Heck,how can I be for sure any of this is happening!?!? You have pulled so many surprises, it'spossible to truely tell what is going on.
I guess that's why I have a hard time believing that this is all a plot by Buffy and Spike to beat the Slayer and have a happy ending: with so many "Who is talking now?" scenes, it's too the point that I can't trust anything face value. That's not an insult in the slightest to your writing abilities:The chapter makes it clear that this is a trick by buffy and spike. But, with this type of story, expect people toquestion what is going on. If this were to have happened in another story (Like Trusting You), then yea, i would take it at face value. But here...oh no, dear author, not falling for any of your tricks *wags finger* |
| lol...oh no...you're on to me!!! |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 12:37 pm |
Ok, rereading it, I can see where this COULD be a trick on Spike's part. Do I still like the idea that Buffy's only idea was to have Spike reduced to a puddle of goo while she watches on calmly in his head? Nope. Maybe the next chapter we will actually see how hard this is for Buffy, but right now,it seems like she is throwing him to the wolves so she get's her body back.
Also, do I trust you as the author? Hell no. You've yanks us around so many times that at this point, i don't even trust that it's Buffy we are hearing in Spike's head. Don't know if that is a good or bad this, though |
lol...it is hard for buffy too, though spike definitely got the worse end of the bargain...and her plan may be the only way they could defeat the slayer...
as to trusting me...you shouldn't, love... ;) lol...i'll take that as a compliment |
| |
| Kimberly Adams | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 11:30 am |
Just finished the very painful new chapters in this story and see a ray of hope I have been looking for. I still like "Trust.." better but I am determined to finish this one as well. Are you getting my reviews?
You are such a superb writer, the very best so far and my favorite.
I so very much appreciate the fast updates. Gives me something to look forward to.
Kim |
| yes, hon, i'm getting your reviews, and responding to every one that's posted at this site...i only respond at this site, since it's my favorite..hope you read this lol...again, thanx for your kind words |
| |
| pfeifferpack | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 09:49 am |
Well I for one have found this story completely brilliant and unique. You have done a fabulous job of taking the reader from hating Buffy to slow understanding then rooting for her to triumph. Your Spike is as devoted and protective as we know him to be...willing to put himself on the line for his women. Can't wait for them to beat the devil and then whomp a bit on Giles and Willow for the lame ideas and doings that caused this mess to start with! Maybe they will feel guilty enough to lay off of Spike from then on. Well done....you have written this beautifully.
Kathleen
sorry I haven't been commenting....still iffy with the net access, but I've been reading religiously. |
| thanx so much for your support, hon...glad you're enjoying it...i personally dont think my spike is so out of character as some seem to think...he ended up on the "victim" end of the stick over and over throughout the show, yet everyone seems to think its strange...*sigh* oh well glad you're enjoying it |
| |
| BT | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 08:59 am |
OK, I'm really hoping now that you're a "happy ending" kind of fic writer, not a "everybody dies in misery" kind...
Then again, maybe you just like to torture your dear, devoted readers?
|
| my fics usually stay really dark throughout, but end well, just so you know thanx for the review |
| |
| Shanna | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 08:03 am |
| Please tell me that this is the end of the 'Spike beating'. I don't think I can take anymore!! I couldn't take this chapter. Poor Spike....what he has to go through to prove his love and devotion. I am looking forward to the next chapter to see how the Demon Slayer gets her ass kicked!! |
| thanx |
| |
| Shanna | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 08:01 am |

| it's coming to an end...but he's still got to go through the end of the ritual, unfortunately...and after that...not telling yet thanx |
| |
| Verda | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 07:57 am |
| I hope this is over soon I can't take him in pain much more, I understand that it's important to the story but it's too hard. Guess I'll just skip over the next chapters, can't see him in pain. The chapters are great, just not for me. |
| well, at this point it's all deliberate...he and buffy know what they're doing and there's a reason for it...resolution will be occurring within the next couple chapters, so....sorry you're not enjoying the story, i know it's intense...hope you dont miss the ultimate victory :\ |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Victory in Defeat | 08/03/2006 07:55 am |
| In Saving Grace, atleast you gave Spike dignity. Here, he is worse then Xander. |
| um...i hope it's clear, it's supposed to be, that his submission in this chapter is deliberate, a deception...if that's not clear then i guess i didn't write this chapter too well... oh well....thanx for the review |
| |
| Robyn | Not Alone | 08/06/2006 02:12 pm |
| I feel so bad for Spike and I really hope that Dawn's doesn't get hurt, but I love that Buffy has found a way to Spike that the Slayer demon doesn't know about. I also love how he pointed out the truth of Joyce’s and Dawn’s strength and that they would fight back. |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Not Alone | 08/06/2006 11:25 am |
| More JL greatness. |
| |
| Joyce | Not Alone | 08/03/2006 08:04 pm |
| Ok, I'm confused. You are so good with the tangents which make me think! |
| lol...i hope it's not too confusing... let me know.. ;) |
| |
| BT | Not Alone | 08/02/2006 11:30 pm |
I can't seem to help myself - another rediculously late night up reading this story. I have to admit, I skimmed the torture scenes, though. Sorry!
You've built the tension up beautifully, can't wait to see what you do with it! |
| lol...so glad you're enjoying it |
| |
| Bookchick of the Novel Clan | Not Alone | 08/02/2006 03:22 pm |
| Ohhh, somethings up! Lovin' it! |
| thanx |
| |
| HPfan | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 10:07 pm |
| Guess I'm a little slow cos I'm not exactly sure what's going on here. However, I have faith that all will soon be made clear. Whatever's going on, I'm sure it's gonna lead to some interesting developments. Now I just hope that if Dawn bursts in on this ugle little scene, that she's armed and takes the psycho demon by complete surprise. You're really building the suspense here. Are you absolutely certain that you want to be responsible for the nervous breakdown I'm sure to have while waiting for your next update? lol |
| it's supposed to be a bit unclear, but not complettely....but dawn might want to stay away..with buffy in spike's head and not her own...the whole "double power" thing that happens when she and dawn get together kind of couldn't happen, ya know? :\ thanx for the review |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 08:28 pm |
| Hello Kitty pajamas. - Yummy sushi pj's are so much more effective. |
| lol...yes, but that's why the slayer wears them, not her little sister lol |
| |
| vladt | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 07:22 pm |
| very good read, thank you. buffy, somehow, joined with her mate. dawn is on the way. the odds look much better. thanks again. |
| thanx |
| |
| Morrigan | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 06:45 pm |
| Hmm... Okay what's the deal. She's not there? Did she somehow manage to merge with Spike? Waiting anxiously for the next chapter. |

| Guess at a time like this being tortured by Angelus made this easier to endure and with Buffy's love and support it helped him to win this fight and maybe Dawn will step in at just the right moment and help bring out Buffy. Great chapter. Update soon! |
| you're very right...except for the part about dawn...she may actually not be needed at this point |
| |
| Lou | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 04:38 pm |
| They can do it!! |
| yep |
| |
| Emily | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 01:18 pm |
| I am really feeling hopeful about this story from this chapter, and it is so nice to be able to be happy about Blood Bound. It has been close to constant angst or anxiousness, and this little ray of hope has developped nicely. I am just a bit concerned with what will happen when Dawn comes a-rising. Good job, it is quite a feat to make me enjoy a chapter in which Spike is being torture ( ) but you have somehow managed to do it. Bravo! |
| lol...thanx for the back-handed compliment ;) glad you're sort of enjoying it |

| kim | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 11:46 am |
Had a feeling...so Buffy traveled across the bond to Spike's head...
He seems to be forgetting that he has the power in his words not to become the Slayer's slave. He has to accept her dominance out loud, he knows that, and that's something Spike won't ever do...so he needs to focus and remember that the Slayer can't truly win. And can he at least get some pants on before starting to fight?
Dawn's finally on her way...quite a scene she's going to barge in to. |
| well, it wont be much of a fight, the shape he's in, unless something changes soon...dawn's showing up might not be for the best...thanx |
| |
| gotkona | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 10:41 am |
| sounds interesting. can't wait for more to see the big confrontation. |
| coming up soon |
| |
| Nikkole | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 08:25 am |
| This is all coming to a head now! WOW, I can't beleive that I wasn't really into this story at first, but I am glad I stuck it out with you! I can't wait to see the next chapter, and I hope Dawn gets her little butt over there soon! |
| lol...i'm glad you did, too |
| |
| pretty_in_fangs | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 08:24 am |
Interesting. Very interesting.
But how will SpikeBuffy react to the sudden appearance of Dawn? |
| we shall see |
| |
| Shadow | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 08:14 am |
so lemme get this straight...
BUFFY jumped into Spike... *grin*
and Dawn is on her way...
OOO this is gonna be good! |
| pretty much... |
| |
| Athenewolfe | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 07:24 am |
| wonder what is going on - can;t wait to find out |
| i dropped some hints...but things will become clearer as the chapters progress |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 06:57 am |
| oooOOOOoooo |
| great chapter |
| |
| Dee Bradfield | Not Alone | 08/01/2006 06:55 am |
| Oooh! Cool twist. And now Dawn's finally decided to make a move, too. It's the beginning of the end for that Slayer Demon bitch. Can't wait for the next chapter, though I suppose I'll have to. |
| you could be right thanx, glad you're enjoying it |
| |
| Robyn | Fighting for Love | 08/06/2006 02:03 pm |
| I am so glad that with everything else Buffy made sure that she told Spike how she felt during her few moments of consciousness. |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Fighting for Love | 08/06/2006 11:20 am |
| She had inadvertently managed to awaken something in Buffy’s repressed spirit - Well yeah - when the Demon threatened to cut off the Spike manly shagging bits. Isn't there a rule on BSV about this sort of thing? Really love the pyscho Buffy switches. |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Fighting for Love | 08/01/2006 08:23 pm |
| Psycho Buffy, yeah. Could someone call Dawn now? |
| as you will see soon...that may not actually be the best idea |
| |
| spikesmrs | Fighting for Love | 07/31/2006 02:38 am |
| go buffy fighting back against the demon . spike can always depend on her to fight to the best of her abilites. even though she tired shes getting the best against the demon. another brilliant chapter and not to squicky |
| thanx, glad you like it...i think the squickiness is mostly over after the next chapter... |

|
| not quite yet...more clues as to the plan next chappie |
| |
| kim | Fighting for Love | 07/30/2006 06:38 pm |
Hmmmm.....
Yeah, Slayer demon's pretty evil, but also pretty dumb. |
| lol...well it's not like their plan is obvious...is it? lol |
| |
| Verda | Fighting for Love | 07/30/2006 02:53 pm |
| Not as bad as I thought it would be but anytime Spike's in pain it's bad enough. Good to know that they have a plan. Very curious to know what that is? Glad you update often. Dark but still a great read. Thanks. |
| thanx, glad you're enjoying it...yes, is a bit dark, but looking up |
| |
| gotkona | Fighting for Love | 07/30/2006 02:13 pm |
| Ok dark but necessary. Can't wait for more. |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Fighting for Love | 07/30/2006 02:13 pm |
Of course Buffy would come up with the plan. Can't have Spike think of it, now can we? Just have Spike do the grunt work and Buffy be the master mind.
Ok chapter, just sad that more and more, Spike's chance to get his vengence will not come, and he will be left following Buffy's lead...again |
well, considering that the plan has to do with stuff that's all in the demon's head, and buffy's the one with the front row seat...she'd kinda *have* to be the one to know what to do...and spike will get the chance to fight back, but it'd be kind of hard to really take a lot of pleasure in it since it's buffy's body he's gonna be beating on...
sorry you didn't care for it...can't say that i'm surprised, though
thanx for the review |
| |
| Emily | Fighting for Love | 07/30/2006 01:11 pm |
| I wish that I could be as confident as Buffy and Spike, because without knowing the plan, it looks like there is a grand possibility that this 'perfect plan' will be like all the other 'perfect plan's that they have had earlier. Oh, and if the next chapter is only about what is happening in Dawn and Joyce's room, there is a good chance that I (and most likely many others) will go absolutely freaking mad Just to let you know, and great chapter, nice to have a little happiness in there for Spikey-poo. |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| HPfan | Fighting for Love | 07/30/2006 12:40 pm |
| Wow! Scary chapter. But it's nice to know that the evil, egomaniacal bitch demon isn't quite as smart and all-knowing as she obviously thinks she is. Haven't a clue as to what Buffy's plan could be, but I can't wait to find out what she and Spike are gonna do next. Waiting on pins and needles for your next update. |

| Okay - not as bad as I was expecting. A bit of hope there at the end, yes? Although, it might have been helpful if Buffy had used those few seconds to reach for the phone! At least let Dawn know, even it it wasn't safe for her to come in just then. Poor Spike and Buffy. They are in mess, aren't they? But it sounds like they may find their way out of it on their own. |

| Robyn | Strong Enough | 08/06/2006 01:54 pm |
| It really is startling to consider that the Slayer’s powers derive from such a malevolent demon. Her final comment and the implications of it are really scary. |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Strong Enough | 08/01/2006 08:15 pm |

| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| MarzBar | Strong Enough | 07/28/2006 08:15 pm |
| You're correct; this is squicky again. I'm reading it because the sheer malevolence of the demon in Buffy is fascinating. I hope to see Spike slap her down eventually. |
| oh he will in time not much time, actually |
| |

| Your warning at the top of this chapter made my stomach do flip flops at what to expect. Eeep. I want Dawn to show up but, most of all, I want Spike to reach out through the claim and call to Buffy and then have Buffy's love be strong enough to protect her mate. Hope that made sense. **bites fingernails until the next chapter** |

| I had a feeling this is what she had planned. I hope that Dawn listens to her intuition and goes to check. Maybe she can surprise them and catch the demon off guard. This story just gets better and better ever chapter! |
| thanx so much |
| |
| kim | Strong Enough | 07/28/2006 08:37 am |
| But he still has to yield to her out loud. That's why Buffy's never worked in the first place. He never said the right words. Spike - if you have to, bite her and drain her again once you're free. Dawn and Joyce's lives, as innocents, are more important than Buffy's, and she'd feel exactly that way. She'd rather die than allow them to be hurt or killed. If you have to drain her to the point of needing the ICU, then do it. |
| yeah, you're so right, if he gets the opportunity...but he's kinda tied up at the moment, so... |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Strong Enough | 07/28/2006 08:30 am |

| Buffy the Vampire Torturer is becoming a little tired. Spike should have known he'd be in for more of the same old same old. I'm hoping they get their heads sorted soon. |
| yeah, he was kind of lulled by their success with the claim... |

| |
| HPfan | A Battle of Wits | 07/26/2006 07:14 pm |
| Oh, noooo! This is so not good, but I figure Spike will come up with some way to get around the demon. You don't get to be a 120 plus year old master vamp unless you've got a few smarts! And on top of all that he's more motivated than he's ever been in all of his unlife. Looking forward to seeing how you get them out of this. |

no she can't make spike kill dawn can she i thought the mating claim stop him having to take orders from the demon or buffy even as always great update
|

| |
| Verda | A Battle of Wits | 07/26/2006 01:31 pm |
| At least she's not beating him at the moment, so hard to read it. Just wondering how she thinks she can get him to do it. We know he'd rather dust then hurt any of his girls. Feeling sorry for Dawn, she feels something's wrong but knows that they're suppose to have an intimate evening, very hard for a young girl. Great update, looking forward to your next one. Thanks for the read. |

| DizzyB | A Battle of Wits | 07/26/2006 09:10 am |
| The only thing that's bothering me about this story - the one thing that I find not that plausible - is the fact that Spike & Dawn keep being stupid enough to trust that it's Buffy talking. They've seen how suddenly the slayer can overtake her and they've seen how sneaky she can be about it, not to mention what a vicious bitch she is. The smart thing to do would be to chain her up and keep her tranked for the duration. They're smart people, so why aren't they being smarter about this? Still enjoying thih story thoroughly, but getting tired of the split slayer bit - ready for the truth to come out about Willow's spell. Can't wait for that to happen! Great job as always. |
| well, spike is kind of feeling safe just because of having the mating claim done -- and spike very convincingly told dawn -- twice -- that he and buffy were just going to -- er -- consummate their union all night.. lol...so....i get what you're saying though...hope you like the rest of the story |

| ok can't wait to see how you get them out of this! every time i get my hopes up , they're dashed. love the story |
| lol...glad you like it |
| |
| HPfan | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 06:34 pm |
| Okay, this is just... cruel. Every time we think our heroes might be just about home free, you hit 'em with another whammy. You do know how to write a roller coaster of a plot! Love the way you're revealing the secret of Dawn's being the key. Hope you update soon. I don't deal well with suspense. It takes a real toll on my fingernails. lol |
| come on....did you really think the slayer was gonna lay down without a fight? thanx for the review |
| |
| spike's mrs | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 04:49 pm |
| ps why is chapter coming up as 66 i counted them thinking i'd miss two i only counted 64 |
| i accidentally posted this one three times but i fixed it already hehe |
| |
| spike's mrs | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 04:47 pm |
| it doesn;t seem to looking that great for spike at the moment but i know your going to fix it so i'm not worry about spike i just hope dawn doesn't get hurt first as alway great update jl gave yourself another A+ plus i think a gold star this time LOL sorry that just my inner teacher coming out well done though |
| thanx, glad you enjoy it so much |
| |
| Nikkole | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 04:44 pm |
| Crap. was it Buffy or the Demon that gave the command not to listen to any other command. This is SO not of the good! |
| well, it was buffy...but it doesnt really matter now because now he's not bound to obey *anyone* .. the claim is equal, so the whole mind control thing is out, either way.... thanx for the review |
| |
| Verda | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 04:43 pm |
| That's why Dawn can calm her, makes sense. Very scared for Spike right now, she can do so much damage and not kill him. Very angsty chapter. She's so evil. Great job! |
| thanx, glad you're enjoying it |
| |
| vladt | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 01:38 pm |
| well, she's back. come on spike do something. great update, thank you. |
| he cant do much...but he'll manage to outsmart her yet |
| |
| MarzBar | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 11:10 am |
| I hope I didn't miss anything by not thoroughly reading the three chapters that seem to be the same, just re-posted. Anyway, that was a cliffie ending. When is Spike going to give Buffy a good hiding? More story please. |
| you're right, i fixed it already though thanx for the review |
| |
| Mr_Chaos | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 08:32 am |
Good chapter, but more and more something is bothering me.
Spike has not done a single thing to show how strong he is, how powerful he is...other then stand in the way and let Buffy beat the shit out of him.
I guss my problem is, he is a master vamp, trained by 3 of the most deadly vamps that ever lived. Yet every turn, you've made him helpless. When he should be taunting the demon into becoming rash and stupid, he sits there and takes it.
Yes, I get that the bond is powerful. And I get that Spike loves Buffy. But he isn't, pardon the expression, Xander.
I have a horrible feeling that in the end, Buffy and Dawn will beat back the demon, and Spike will be reduced to, as he has said in the story itself, a ponce, a wanker, a sniveling mama's boy.
It's a great story, well written and with twists and turns. I enjoy reading it. But there is no much of Spike being a victim, too much of him being passive. Give the vamp his manhood back soon and maybe, jsut maybe, you can bring his charecter back the way it should be. Otherwise, I think, while being a great story, it will end up lacking. |
| i understand your point...thus far though he hasnt had much of an opportunity to stand up for himself, due to the power of the claim...and you will be surprised as to how spike comes through in the end...hope you enjoy the rest |
| |
| Nikkole | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 07:56 am |
| I left the review on the first of the triple chapter. |
| thanx |
| |
| Emilee | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 07:26 am |
| First off, excellent chapter. She had a bit of a James Bond moment didn't she? You can tell she's an ancient primordial demon, or she'd know that you never soliloquey about your evil plans b/c then you get beat. ;) Can't wait for the next update. |
| lol..so right... glad you're enjoying it |
| |
| Lou | Dangerous Bond | 07/24/2006 07:08 am |
| Triple dose of more nasty - I hope Dawn is smart today. |
| we'll see |
| |
| Robyn | The Morning After | 08/06/2006 06:25 am |
| I knew it was too good to last and the demon has really become good at the sneak attacks. |
| yep...they should have thought of that, but they were too...um..distracted |
| |
| Cherie | The Morning After | 07/31/2006 12:29 am |
| Cant wait to see this one through to the end, really had me, every chance i have had since last night i have been at the comp reading it ;) keep up the good work, cant wait to see more!!!!! |
| thanx, glad you like it |

| vladt | The Morning After | 07/23/2006 08:03 pm |
| very good update to a very good tale. and a very evil place to stop. thanks for all of the previous |
| thnax, glad you're liking it |
| |
| Bridget | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 05:36 pm |
| I can't believe how reckless Spike and Buffy are. Why would they be so foolish? I certainly hope they will get out of this mess without Spike getting killed. Please update soon. |
| well, the demon's getting better at deception...they both thought they were safe for a little while thanx for the review |
| |
| kim | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 05:23 pm |
Knew it was the demon, as soon as she said wait until morning.
Crap, crap, crap!
Spike's in a hell of a world of trouble. |
| he sure is thanx for the review |
| |
| Verda | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 02:59 pm |
| Oh crap! that sucks! He won't be getting any help either. Hope you update soon, the suspense is killlliiinnnggg meeeeeeee! Thanks for the read. |
| i'll be updating soon as always thanx, glad you liked the chapter...yes, things not looking too good for our boy |
| |
| HPfan | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 02:34 pm |
| Knew that little lull was just the calm before the storm and way too good to be true. Can't understand why Buffy didn't sense the slayer demon stirring and resist the way she has in the past. Were both she and Spike just a little too happy and complacent - not on their guard? Hope either Joyce and/or Dawn will question the whole waiting til morning decision or this could be really bad. Speaking of bad, there you go being all evil and leaving us with another cliffie. lol Please update soon. Not sure I can handle the suspense. |
| well, the last time it kind of crept on her gradually anyway, and the others all saw it because she was in such a mood...this time, it was all sneaky about it and she didn't sense it, and neither did spike because she was faking so well...more soon i promise..we'll see what happens |
| |
| Emilee | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 01:27 pm |
| Oh that is remarkably not good. I can understand his reluctance to wave their sex life in Joyce's face, but really, in times like these you have to cast aside those squicky feelings and just do what needs to be done. Can't wait for the next update. |
| you're so right...but she had told him that she felt all right, so he thought they had a little bit of time to work with :-\ |
| |
| MarzBar | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 01:07 pm |
| Oh dear. How will Spike get out of this one without major injuries? More story please |
| very carefully |
| |
| Lou | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 12:54 pm |
| Yikes! Deftly done. At last Spike has a chance to dominate! He'd better wake up quick though! |
| yeah...he *would* have a chance...if he wasn't sleeping the sleep of the knocked unconscious... *sigh* |
| |
| spike'smrs | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 12:07 pm |
| Poor Spike!Just when he thought he was safe, nothing seems to be go as it should, but has the slayer demon been really playing with him all the time. Or just after she joined Spike in the shower! I sit here wondering!!! As always another brillant update!! |
| not the *whole* time...but longer than you might think...oh, we'll see...thanx for the review |
| |
| Catrine | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 11:57 am |
| Sneaky demon!!I don`t like the way this story has turned. Make Spike the hero he is Loving the story! |
| hope you continue to like it |
| |
| Nikkole | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 08:38 am |
| OH SHITE!! I knew something wasn't quite right. But he is as strong as her now, so "hopefully" he will be able to fight her off. |
| yeah...except for the whole unconsciousness thing |
| |
| Joyce | The Morning After | 07/22/2006 07:37 am |
| Aargh! The bitch is back! Another cliffhanger beautifully timed. |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| Robyn | Saving the World | 08/06/2006 06:14 am |
| There was a real beauty to their claiming and how much they both wanted it. I am now extra worried because if Spike is really feeling safe then something has to go wrong. |
| thanx, glad you liked it ... you may be right about the danger factor |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Saving the World | 07/30/2006 10:41 am |
| Finally. I admit it was worth the wait, but suppose you're going to do something else wicked. |
| now what would ever make you think that? *innocent wide eyes* |
| |
| Athenewolfe | Saving the World | 07/29/2006 06:10 pm |

| |
| MarzBar | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 01:13 pm |
| Took long enough after they decided to do the claim. Lots of chit chat. What will happen now and where will they go? The Wankers want to kill them. |
| well they still have to finish before they go anywhere... |
| |
| Joyce | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 10:12 am |
| Whew! (Fanning self.) |
|
| |
| Nikkole | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 08:47 am |
| I liked this chapter. I am glad that they are finally equals, maybe they have a good chance of fighting the demon now! Great job, and I can't wait for more!! |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| Morrigan | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 03:00 am |
Wow... What a way to save the world. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Tough break. Hehehe  |

| |
| BT | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 02:58 am |
no!!! no no no no!!! I just stayed up till 3am reading this GREAT story, and I don't get to read the rest??? AGH!!! Help me jl1980 - update soon!!
Ok, that was a bit over the top, but it's a really good story, and I'd like more - please? |
| lol..coming up soon...hope you like the rest |
| |
| Verda | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 01:33 am |
| Yes! that was great! They're equals now, and now maybe He can help her with the slayer's demon as well. I'd be careful though, she can still kick his ass. Great build up to the claiming. Hope Dawn and Joyce are doing ok as well. Great chapter, thanks for updating so soon. |
| thanx, glad you like it...but they could be looking at trouble if they dont get the ritual finished soon |
| |
| vladt | Saving the World | 07/21/2006 12:28 am |
| wonderful update, thank you. did they both go brain dead? they are only half way there. love the tale . thanks, again. |
| well, they're kind of out of it with passion... lol...so i guess that counts... |
| |
| HPfan | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 11:12 pm |
| Whew! That was just...hot! Kinda afraid that Spike's being a little too complacent here. Sorta waiting for the other shoe to drop now. Things went just a little too smoothly - gotta be too good to be true. Hurry and update, please! |
| you may be right ;) they still have the dominance ritual to complete, and the slayer demon wont be pleased.. |
| |
| letitia | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 10:00 pm |
| well they are on equal footing now. And I am just glad that Buffy and Spike were finally able to go to sleep with each other without this threat over their heads.. Wonder how long she "slayer" is going to wait until she tries to make a move. |
| yeah, but going to sleep like that might not have been the wisest thing to do... ;) |
| |
| Tonia | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 05:46 pm |
Finally something actually goes right for Spike!(for now)
Can't wait to find out what happens next. |
| thanx |
| |
| kim | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 02:45 pm |
| I'm imagining a rested Slayer demon starting a naked fight with Spike once she wakes up. She's going to be raring to go... |
| lol..interesting mental picture |
| |
| Lou | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 12:11 pm |
You've got me so used to Buffy turning on Spike that I'm still waiting for something bad to happen! It can't be that simple, can it?
Dare I hope for some grovelling from the knowalls? |
| you might be right to be suspicious...we'll see ;) |
| |
| Emily | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 10:41 am |
| Awh! Great chapter! I'm in an incredible rush, but greatness and i LOVE you |
| thanx |
| |
| KImberly Adams | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 10:27 am |
| Fantastic chapter and thank the heavens the claim was completed! Now, is all hell going to break loose? Guess I will just have to wait and see! I am eagerly awaiting updates of both this and Trusting you..hint hint |
| lol...thanx for the great review, more very soon |
| |
| Bridget | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 09:57 am |
| I am surprised that the claiming was accomplished. Of course something must be wrong with their theory. I only hope it will not be too bad. |
| well the claiming was done, but the slayer can still take over buffy's body...she just cant make spike obey her and control him like she could before |
| |
| Emilee | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 09:15 am |
| Sleeping next to schizo-Buffy unchained? Seems dangerous. Excellent update. Can't wait for more. |
| maybe it seems that way because it *is* dangerous |
| |
| pretty_in_fangs | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 07:55 am |
| :;sigh:: Lovely. Absolutely lovely. Though something tells me that the Slayer will be the first to wake. |
| you might be surprised |
| |
| spike'smrs | Saving the World | 07/20/2006 07:51 am |
| NOOO! Don't fall asleep the demon in side Buffy will surely come and try and ruin things. Once again another brillant chapter jl, if only we could all write as well as you .Well done please update soon. |
| we shall see thanx so much for your very kind words |
| |
| Robyn | Possession | 08/06/2006 06:05 am |
| I do like the care that they are taking, and I hope that if things do go wrong that the reasoning that any command coming from Buffy should over-ride one coming from her body is correct. |
| thanx |

| thanx |
| |
| Bridget | Possession | 07/18/2006 01:17 pm |
| I understand the need for foreplay, but this is ridiculous. I think Spike is playing with fire. He should just do the ritutal. You would think he wouldn't want to be beat up anymore. Good chapter. |
| yeah, but he's thinking he's pretty much safe because he's bound to obey buffy's command to claim her, and she's chained to the bed so she cant hurt him..thanx for the review |
| |
| Nikkole | Possession | 07/18/2006 10:41 am |
| Something doesn't seem right here. How could that order make him immune to the slayer demon? I guess I am being blonde here, but if it is in her voice and such, then how can he say no? |
| it didn't make him immune...it's that *buffy* is his actual claimant, not the demon...so naturally an order buffy gives him has more power than an order that the demon gives him in her body...so she just ordered him to perform the claim and not let her go until he had, no matter what the demon ordered...does that make sense? |
| |
| kim | Possession | 07/18/2006 08:02 am |
Tease!
Interesting idea, though. They're finally learning to take the advantages in the situation. |
| yep thanx |
| |
| pretty_in_fangs | Possession | 07/18/2006 07:54 am |
| AHH! This is becoming cruel, stringing us along like this. |
| lol...claim next chappie, promise |
| |
| Lou | Possession | 07/18/2006 07:41 am |
| Blimey - he's chancing his luck a bit with the delay tactics isn't he? |
| somewhat..but they're thinking they're pretty safe now since the demon backed off...she cant effectively command him now with buffy's command in place...so they *should* be okay, theoretically speaking lol |
| |
| spike'smrs | Possession | 07/18/2006 07:38 am |
| stop torturing us claim and sex now pleaseeeeeee! |
| yes ma'am! next chappie |
| |

| Sneaky, evil slayer demon. Glad that Spike and Dawn outsmarted her. What a way to save the world! But I guess these sacrifices just have to be made. Evil leer. Moving on to the next chapter. Can't wait! Hoping for lots of smutty goodness. |

Time to make this a quickie. No time to go all night - too much on the line. Just bite her and have her say the words, already.
I had a feeling that was the plan...it was a good way to go. They couldn't attempt the claim with the demon just sitting in wait.
Poor Joyce is really having to fight off the gray hairs. |

| Spike really is taking a chance, I hope the plan works. I got a real kick out of Buffy and her behavior, I realize that the demon is influencing it and making her over-react, but it still struck me as quite funny. |
| yes, he is, but it just might work |
| |
| HPfan | Secrets and Schemes | 07/12/2006 08:40 pm |
| Okay, what's up? I've gotta admit that I'm absolutely clueless about whatever it is that Spike's planning to do now. Loved Dawn's comment about preferring that the demon just kill her rather than be scarred for life except for wanting to save Spike. In a way, Buffy kinda deserved that little dig. Please hurry and update soon. Not sure that I can stand the suspense. |

God, could she act like more of a spoiled brat?
Buffy knows that her emotions give the demon a way out, and yet she's still indulging in a childish little tantrum, with the potential to kill all she holds dear, and rack up one hell of a motel bill in damages! You're 18, bitch. Start acting like an adult, for a freaking change.
Why is Spike even bothering? She's just gonna sulk as long as she feels like it. Why not have Joyce call her on her actions, hmm? As a mother should properly chastise a sulking child? |
| um...maybe i didn't make it clear enough, but her sulking insecure behavior in this chapter is supposed to be a sort of melding of her feelings, played upon the demon...basically, she's taking it harder than she would normally because of the demon's influence, it's trying to take over again... |
| |
| Nikkole | Secrets and Schemes | 07/12/2006 09:29 am |
| Wow, I hope this works. If not, she WILL kill Spike and probably Joyce and Dawn. I don't know what they are planning, but I hope they do it soon, so they can beat back the demon. MAybe they are TRYING to get the demont o come out so Dawn can burst back in and sap it's strength; that's what I would do at least! |

| spike'smrs | The Answer | 07/06/2006 12:02 pm |
| what explain it in small words please my brains gone into retirment i thought the demon had claim him or have i read it wrong tell you what i'll read back a few chaps maybe i'll get then it still great though glad the council haven't shown up with giles yet i still hope buffy gonna give gile a smack though |
| the demon didn't claim him, just buffy...the demon wasn't strong enough to act on its own then...but it wants to finish the dominance ritual that buffy started since it feels like they're the same person, but it cant since spike is powerless to resist b/c of the one-sided claim....so spike's thinking, even the odds up by making the claim even, so he can actually fight back, and then finish the dominance ritual like the demon wants...except he plans on winning hehe ... that clearer? |

| So Buffy's willing, but now the question is how to get her to submit, because I don't forsee the demon just holding still for this. And if Dawn has to be in physical contact for Buffy to stay in control...can you say awkward? Can't wait for more. |

| Bridget | The Answer | 07/06/2006 09:07 am |
| I am glad that Dawn was close by. How will they do the claim without Dawn's assistance. Good update. |
| it's gonna be hard... thanx |
| |
| kim | The Answer | 07/06/2006 08:38 am |
Ah...AtS hooked me before BTVS did, even though I started watching both at the same time.
It's going to be hard to let Buffy give the right answer to the claim, with the Demon fighting against it so much. If the claim will have enough weight without sex, then Dawn can be there at the same time to hold Buffy's hand. Otherwise, this isn't going to be easy.
Also, finishing the dominance ritual - Spike's going to have the fight of his life, if the claim doesn't keep Buffy in control. The Demon is going to be fighting for its very survival, and she's not going to put out anything but her best. He's going to have to be in perfect shape.
Will Buffy say the submissive words for the ritual just to get rid of the Demon's hold, right after they do the claim? Thei isn't going to be easy on *her*, even for this particular cause. |
| yeah, it's going to be tricky, to say the least...we'll see what happens |

| she should have all along |

| very good update. red is still lying, giles is still an ass, and the slayer seems to know what not to do. thanks for the great read. |
| thanx |

| I know that it is probably a good idea to get away from Giles also, but I think they should have waited and done the spell first. It might have helped a bit in figuring out some other things. I can't wait for more of this story. It is definately one of my favorites! |
| they may still do it... thanx for a great review ;) |

| Bridget | Trust Me | 07/05/2006 10:15 am |
| Buffy is smarter than she appears in this fic. I hope nothing bad happens in the mean time. Good chapter. Why won't Willow fess up? |
| thanx, glad you like it...will's always too concerned about everyone liking her to do the right thing for once *sigh* |
| |
| Robyn | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 11:07 pm |

| I hate to see Giles going bad, but it really does seem almost likely... just because of Spike though. Normally he can fairly clear headed when it comes to Council matters, but you have handled this in-good-faith-yet-still-a-betrayal situation very well. Kudos! |
| yeah, he's not meaning it to be harmful...he thinks he's helping...but they always all thought they knew better than buffy did what was good for her, and usually they were wrong |
| |
| Verda | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 06:29 pm |
| Thanks for showing that side of Buffy. We know that she loves him but also is sure that he thinks he knows what's best. Hate that they're going to Angel's though. I think you'll find most of us do. Honestly don't know what he can do, but maybe Wes can. Great chapter. |
| glad you liked it...but in case you missed it, buffy and her family aren't going to angel's .. just willow, xander and anya... just so ya know |
| |
| letitia | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 05:24 pm |
| go Buffy. I am just glad that she was able to see through Giles. I can't believe he would put her in the Council's hands. Glad she is getting out of town. |
| he thinks he knows what he's doing...but he's wrong...glad you liked it |

Angel didn't have the hotel yet in Season 4(1). That wasn't until Season 5(2). They're still using his basement apartment and the office upstairs.
Hmmm, she's not trusting Giles at all...well, he earned it...
The binding is so simple! Complete their bond as mates, make them equal...why isn't anyone thinking of that, yet. It's got to occur to Spike, even though he'll be sure she'll never go for it, in all his insecurity. |
| oh...well, i was never big on angel the show...or the character...lol...oh well ... yeah, it's not that complex, but the scoobies sure wouldn't think of it, and spike's been too insecure to mention it so far...which is understandable what with the way buffy's been treating him...thanx for the review |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 02:58 pm |

| |
| HPfan | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 02:54 pm |
| Thought at first that Giles was starting to show a little common sense, but I guess that was too much to hope for at this point. Even Xander is acting more intelligently, and boy, is that weird or what? Hope going to Angel gives them the break they need to deal with this thing. I'm really impressed with Buffy now. She's using her head and taking control in a big way. Great chapter - looking forward to the next. |
| thanx, glad you're enjoying it...buffy is a more complete slayer at this moment than any slayer in history, and she's starting to act like it |
| |
| Lou | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 01:56 pm |

Splitting them all up, huh? I wasn't expecting that. I can't wait to see how they solve it on their own. Should be fun.
Oh, and I can't believe (well, sadly, yes, I can) Willow's childishness is trying to stop them from doing something that she knows they think could save Buffy's life, just because she's scared of people knowing she's done something wrong. |
| yeah, should be interesting...but that was typical willow, wasn't it? thanx |
| |
| Cas | Trust Me | 07/04/2006 12:13 pm |

You gotta hand it to Willow - when she screws up, she doesn't fool around. Can't wait to see how they handle this situation. Fantastic chapter - can't wait to read the next. |

Also Buffy admitting that SHE wanted to claim him, not copping out and blaming the "demonic influence". Excellent chapter. As always, am anxious for more. |

Finally we come into the "good stuff" even though I guessed early on that "the Slayer" was a part of the problem. But will Giles believe Spike?
And will the others accept him like Joyce and Dawn have?
Good questions, I guess I have to wait for the next chappies to find out...

I don't think it will make Buffy angry, but she's going to be shocked that a demon was originally used as the source of the Slayer's power. The SlayerDemon sees Dawn as a binding agent, and because of Willow's spell, it will be able to take over Buffy if Dawn is out of the way. So, SlayerDemon probably won't be happy with all the knowledge Spike is going to pass on.
Buffy really has to keep a lid on her insecurities, her negative emotions...they allow the Slayer to take hold of her.
About time she cares enough to set the others straight. I hope Dawn watches her closely to see if she starts to struggle. This is still going to be messy just because Giles, Xander, and Willow are not going to take the news well - for many different reasons, of course. |

Truth time comin'....
Good ol' Anya's like a walking demonic encyclopedia, in plain English, of course. She really is good at putting this stuff in simple terms for people to grasp. I have a feeling she'll be able to confirm at least part of what Spike is about to say. |

| Another great chapter, this one really let us see again how bad Buffy is feeling. In the beginign, I feared that Buffy would become to much of a monster to see just how bad things had gotten. But, she didn't, and this chapter is proof enough. Her own ability to realize that she can't cry for herself ntil she's cried for Spike is wonderful, and her "little girl lost' attitude when seeing everything that goes on...it goes a long way to hellping us see that she is not a monster |
| yeah, at the start i had a lot of people who like *hated* buffy and i was like...whoa!!....gotta make it more clear that she's *totally* out of control here... glad it's clear by this point that she really does care about him and is not in control of her actions.... thanx for the review |

| I loved how Joyce put Xander and Giles in their place after their comments on Spike. I like how Joyce included Anya in staying to help. I am looking forward to finding out what is up with Willow and her reaction to doing a healing spell. And I like that Buffy is willing to truly give of herself to help Spike heal, it shows how much she really has changed in her attitude towards him. I am also really glad that Xander, Giles, and Willow are not there to see her actions. |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| Joyce | Blood Sacrifice | 06/25/2006 08:20 am |
I like seeing Joyce take control of the situation to make everything clear to the rest of them and keeping all parties in control.
Still wondering why Willow is so secretive about the spell. Does Anya know what she did? Hmm, this mystery deepens. |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| HPfan | Blood Sacrifice | 06/24/2006 11:21 pm |
| Poor Spike! But at least now Buffy seems to be not only in control, but more considerate of Spike than she's ever been. I sincerely hope that Joyce rips into Giles and the rest of the scoobies. Giles and Xander in particular would benefit from a good smack upside the head. Just to help focus their attention and maybe knock a little sense into both of them. |

| Engrossing story. Just ran across it and have read straight through. Must admit I am hating Buffy at this point because of her abuse. Am very concerned for Spike and everyone else as Buffy is so volatile. When will true help arrive for Buffy? Can she let Spike claim her and would it allow some measure of Spike helping to her to control herself? Wonderful writing...just feeling despair at all the angst. |

| |
| Mr_Chaos | Discovery | 07/30/2006 10:04 pm |
Decided that I have been a bit mean, as of late, so I wanted to go back and review a few chapters that I nevert got around to reviewing, and tell you how much I loved them. A bit of an apology for getting a bit snippy about some of the more recent chapter (ok, ALL of the recent chapters)
This chapter began an arc of chapters that I really, really enjoyed reading. This one starts off great: Dawn goes to Spike, and as Buffy approached, you can almost hear the Jaws theme begin to play. Even though we all know that Dawn will not die, there is that moment where you go..."oh my god, is Buffy really going to do it?"
Xander and Giles reactions, followed by Dawn, are perfect. You are almost screaming with Dawn as they roughly drag this poor, poor vamp into the room (Hey, just noticed that even when Buffy ISN'T around, Spike is being hurt. I pity your version of Spike...I'd stake myself after all fo this mess...but I guess that makes Spike stronger then me)
The end with Joyce thinking what we all are thinking: That it's very hard not to see Buffy as the villian (I still havealot of trouble with it, which maybe explains why I get so made when she breaks down and Spike conforts her) but she is a victim. |
| lol...i am glad there are some parts of the story that you actually enjoyed *grin*...yes, i actually get a lot of comments from people who dont like how i write spike...i'm sorry, but i actually see a lot of vulnerability, a lot of emotional hurt in the character (probably that darn psychology training ) and it tends to come out in my writing...thanx for your kind words....hope you like the rest |

| Xander is such a jerk in this! He just can't see why anyone should care about Spike... heck I would even treat a dog the way they were treating this vamp... they are the evil people! |
| well, they always treated him so badly in the show, i only think this is a *slight* exagerration |
| |
| Robyn | Discovery | 06/27/2006 04:34 am |
| I second Dawn, huh? I am really looking forward to the explanation for his comment. I loved how Dawn was able to help Buffy fight back from the possession and that she was able to see what is affecting Buffy. I also loved Joyce’s comment to Xander and Dawn’s comment to Xander and Giles over their treatment of Spike. |

| |
| Bridget | Discovery | 06/21/2006 10:54 am |
| Another great chapter. It appears that the demon inside Buffy is no match for Dawn and Buffy together. Will Xander ever grow up? The writing was unbelievable. I was on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to read more. |
| |
| Nikkole | Discovery | 06/21/2006 10:42 am |
HMMMMM....I wonder what exactly is going on here. I guess we will find out soon enough. I wish Anya would just smack Xander upside his stupid little head, he just pisses me off sometimes. I look forward ato the next chapter.
P.S.- I am glad that you are putting in more of what Buffy is feeling and trying to struggle against. It helps to know that this is NOT how she wants to treat him, although she will have a lot of trust to build up once they kick this thing out of her, or make it go dormant again. |
| |
| letitia | Discovery | 06/21/2006 07:47 am |
| I was really afraid for Dawn but she just might be the key to keeping "Buffy" here. And I hope Buffy realizes what Spike did to try and help her and Dawn as well. Glad Xander is being put in his place. Great chapter. |

| FetchingMadScientist | Out of Control | 06/18/2006 04:34 pm |
| Okay...much as I HATE this idea, in fact I can't believe I'm even posing it- maybe the way to get through to "good" Buffy is to lay it all on the line for Dawn. "Bad" Buffy thinks Spike is hers, but doesn't really want to see him hurt. So it follows that- if Spike were to put himself in, pardon the pun, "mortal" danger- perhaps "bad" Buffy would be gone for good? Here's hopin'! *crosses fingers* |
| thanx for the review, glad you liked it |
| |
| HPfan | Out of Control | 06/18/2006 04:32 pm |
| Wow! It doesn't get any creepier than this. Hope the part of Dawn that is the key can find a way to come to the rescue. Think it's all up to Dawn. Even if the scoobies show up, at this point I don't think there's much they can do. Might make the situation that much worse. Of course, it wouldn't hurt for them to actually witness psycho, possessed Buffy in action. Another cliffhanger. I think you're just cruel even if I am loving this. Looking forward to the next installment. |

Buffy seemed too caught up in her own worries to notice his pain - as usual. I'd like to take a hammer to her head. And, does this girl ever use a phone?
Nice scene about them coming to mutually trust each other. Personally, I wouldn't trust Giles as far as I could throw him. |

| at least "regular" Buffy is still in charge and can tell when Spike is trying not to anger her. I just hope that he can get Joyce and Dawn to the mansion before anyone can figure out that the gang has moved. And I am so sorry that Giles seemed to be on the Councils side for even a minute. Hope all works out for them and Joyce is so pissed off.. |

| I amsorry that i havent reviewed in a while but my computer crashed during a lightning storm. actually it is still crashed i am on my sisters computer. I loved the last few chapters. Buffy being a bit more in control and now some info that is most needed. I am excited to read the next chapter |
| |
| Emilee | Finding Refuge | 06/14/2006 09:43 pm |
| Getting them in one place will certainly open their eyes to Buffy's little psycho problem. I'm anxious to find out what Spike knows. Hmmm. Has there been other Slayer/Vamp claims before? And will Willow finally come clean with her "tweaking"? Excellent chapter. The urgency really came thru. Can't wait for more. |

| HPfan | Finding Refuge | 06/14/2006 07:20 pm |
| Oblivious Buffy. Of course, she wouldn't think about how Spike would feel about going back to the mansion. *Sigh* Well, at least she's getting a little better about trusting him. Giles! What is his problem? For an intelligent man, he sure can be stupid when it comes to dealing with the council of wankers. "Angry Mom" has got to be even scarier than brassed off Slayer. Gotta love how Joyce and Dawn don't ask questions. They just trust Spike and get on with what needs to be done. Wonderful chapter. Can hardly wait for the next one. |

| well well Buffy is really trying to fight her way back and not letting things get Too far. And I just love that Spike is really taking the initiative to get them out of town. I just hope Buffy can hold it together long enough to get out of town or away enough to outrun the council. HOpe Buffy is open to what Spike might have to tell her. |

| Coquine | A Small Victory | 06/13/2006 05:27 pm |
| For some now completely unknown reason to me, I was never really interested in reading this story. Nothing personal, I'd just glanced at it, and it didn't really 'call' to me, so I moved past it. But a few days ago I had some time on my hands and picked this fic to start reading. And oh. my. god. I am a moron. After every chapter, I kept asking myself "and you haven't been following this story the whole time...WHY??" I gotta say, though, it's tearing up my insides reading some of this all-out anguish! When, oh, when will it end? Or at least ease up a bloody bit?! Stupid unleashing of Buffy's stupid Slayer self, getting all extra violent and demonic! Stupid Council! Stupid Scoobies! And stupid freakin' Buffy! Man it's hard to sympathise with her in this fic. It's all so frustrating! But still so good! I feel like Spike does; even though I know it's all stressing me out, I can't help but want more! I NEED it! |
| |
| Bridget | A Small Victory | 06/13/2006 11:23 am |

| Way to go, Buffy! And Spike coming to her rescue in spite of everything as usual. She ought to know better than to trust the council by now. For that matter, what was Giles thinking when he told all to them? Looking for help is one thing - being stupid about it is something else altogether. Wonderful, suspenseful chapter. Want more, please! |

| Emily | A Small Victory | 06/12/2006 07:33 pm |
I'm worried that all this forcing the 'slayer demon' back will make it extra strong. This is just my thinking, but i have always thought that Angelus was a sadistic bastard, but the soul made it worse (you know, ending the world and all). Maybe the thousands of years the demon has been forced back will make even more strong than Angelus. Just a vague little guess tho.
Anywayz, great chappie, and thx for all the consistant updating |

| |
| Nikkole | Silver Lining | 06/15/2006 11:49 am |
Hmmmm....I am not sure I believe her. Maybe she was able to fight it because she KNEW what it was doing. But I am worried that she is going to end up having a mental break if she has to keep fighting it.
|
| sort of...more answers soon |
| |
| Spikez_tart | Silver Lining | 06/11/2006 05:31 pm |
| Don't even think about pulling an amnesia stunt, JL. And no one believes Buffy has really won over the demon. Not yet anyway. Another excellent Chap |
| lol..not completely...can't see how amnesia would really work, anyway... thanx for the review |
| |
| letitia | Silver Lining | 06/10/2006 06:38 pm |
| I just hope that they are able to talk before the "next" time. I hope Buffy now really sees what her violent side does to Spike with the way he was acting with her when she woke up. I am just hoping also that Buffy doesn't think she ahs truly and finally won. Just hope they can get some things cleared up at least for a while. |
| oh they will i think buffy is starting to get it now, and she has definitely made some progress |
| |
| HPfan | Silver Lining | 06/10/2006 06:04 pm |
| Lovely, moving chapter. Buffy in control is a wonderul thing. Hope it lasts, but somehow I don't think it will. Just hiope that when this thing is all over at last, she will have learned something from the experience. |
| oh she will and though the victory may not be total, she is making progress in learning how to fight this |
| |
| pretty_in_fangs | Silver Lining | 06/10/2006 05:29 pm |
| I really really REALLY hope that Giles woke up when Spike was trying to wake Buffy, so that he could have a chance to truly *understand* the sheer terror that Buffy has managed to induce in Spike. |

| With Spike´s luck, for sure Giles is going to come in and blame Spike for Buffys unconsciousness... Poor him. I realy hope this turns more positive for them both. Can´t wait to read the next chapter. Great as usual. |
| thanx, glad you like it |
| |
| HPfan | A Crowded Mind | 06/08/2006 09:44 pm |
| All I can say is wow! Now if only Giles would come in to witness this scary little scene.Where is a watcher when you really need him? Sleeping on the job? He really does need a wake-up call. Of course, if he were to come in at this point, I'm sure he would assume that Spike had attacked Buffy and was to blame for everything that's happened. Waiting with bated breath for the next update. |
| thanx for the review |

| kim | A Crowded Mind | 06/08/2006 02:30 am |
Effectively, Buffy is dealing with multiple personality disorder. The Slayer essence is enough a part of her that it has all the memories, etc., but since it was created from a standard demon at the time, it isn't exactly nice and wholesome. But everything is Buffy.
Yeah, I know he doesn't know until S7, but it's still crappy Watchership. He should have found out when Buffy was asking about where her power comes from, etc., after facing Dracula. Hell, if anyone had asked Anya, she probably could have told them. Dracula knew her power was rooted in darkness, long before he came to Sunnydale. The demon world is well aware of the Slayer history, in the right circles. I'm sure Spike knows more about Slayers, too - they were his passion. His specialty. Anyway, Giles just never tried hard enough.
Meanwhile, I'm sure the Council's answer is going to be taking out Buffy and her mate, when they figure out why Giles is asking about the origin of the Slayer. They're not going to give him that info without wanting to know why he needs it all of a sudden. There's no reason for Quentin to save Buffy. The line goes through Faith, so they can get rid of both Slayers, since they are such 'disgraceful examples', and start with a fresh potential. This whole fiasco gives them the perfect excuse to start the Slayer line over. |

| Wonderful, scary, edgey chapter. Seems like neither Buffy nor Spike can resist the bond even when both seem to be fully aware of just how dangerous it is. I would guess that the fact that Dawn is the Key and that the monks used Buffy to make the key human has something to do with the fact that she can keep Spike somewhat calm. Guess all will be revealed in due time or just as soon as you drive us poor readers crazy as we try to follow your wicked plot twists. lol |

I really can't believe that Giles didn't lay into her good for her usual hurried, ill- researched use of magic! Maybe Joyce will get a chance to give the girl a good talking to - hope she puts the fear of God (or at least the fear of a slayer's brassed off mother) into her! Looking forward to the next update. In other words, I can hardly wait to see where this goes next. |

| pfeifferpack | Bits and Pieces | 06/05/2006 12:37 pm |
Someone needs to point out to Giles (the total pillock) that HE is the one responsible for it all! Fine thing to blame WIllow, the apprentice witch! HE wanted the d@mned spell (sooooo unnecessary and only really wanted because Spike annoyed him as a house guest) HE should have used his years of sorcery and knowledge to pick the d@mned spell!!!!! Even with Willow tweaking it you can't really blame her, unless you're Giles of course.
Please let Joyce, Buffy, Willow and Spike all gang slap him before this is done *G*.
Why do I think Giles' solution will be to stake the now chip free Spike?
Excellent update...really explains so much.
Kathleen |
| i think willow definitely messed up, big time...but giles is much at fault too, i agree... thanx so much for the review |
| |
| kim | Bits and Pieces | 06/05/2006 12:31 pm |
Tell Joyce and Dawn exactly what's going on, and I'm sure one of them will come up with the easy solution - Buffy has to accept Spike's claim. Spike will recognize the situation, too.
How can Giles not know the origin of the Slayer? He's a really crappy Watcher.
Send Willow to Althanea and be done with it. Stupid girl. |
| thanx for the review...as for giles, though, remember, even in the show he didn't know that...they didn't find out about the origin of the slayer until the shadow box in season seven .. thanx for the review |

| I can't believe Willow wouldn't come completely clean given the circumstances. Buffy's in chains and Willow still wasn't going to tell the truth. |
| i know, she's pretty self-centered |
| |
| Bridget | Bits and Pieces | 06/05/2006 12:07 pm |
Great chapter. So it appears that Willow's spell unleashed Buffy's demon which I believe was the original source of her power.
I hope that Willow will come clean soon about what she added in. |
| that would be of the good |

Well, at least Spike is not around for the physical abuse.. Glad Buffy is trying to come to grip with her violence and need to dominate and control our poor boy.
Waiting to see what Giles and Willow come up with. Not of the good. What will "equal up" the playing field for Spike?
|

| Another great chap. Looking forward to the Council's input on this as well as the Joyce/Giles face to face confrontation. And exactly what did Willow "tweak", because I didn't catch it. All I understood was that she performed the spell without proper research or understanding, but I didn't catch her admission to any changes. Bad Willow! The only way this is gonna work is for the claim to be equalized isn't it? |
| you didn't catch her admission becuase it wasn't there she's not being honest with them, and didn't tell them what she changed |

| Way to go, Joyce! Always knew she could kick butt, and Giles is seriously in need of an attitude adjustment. Speaking of which, once again, Willow "messes around" with a spell, and guess what? Something goes wrong, and she lies and denies all responsibility. Boy, have you got these characters down pat! As usual, I'm waiting on pins and needles for the next update! |

| Nice interaction between Giles and Buffy, but I still think she's holding back. She finds it so easy to let Giles think that she couldn't possibly have any real feelings for Spike. I don't know if it's really that she cares so much for the others' various opinions or it she simply can't acknowledge her feelings even to herself. Anyway, lovely, well-written chapter. Gotta go read the next one now. |

| a feeling that he had never been able to drive back What a git Giles can be. Why would he want to stop loving Buffy. He can be such a big jerk, no wonder Buffy doesn't tell him anything. This is puzzling, JL - is Buffy being controlled (when she's being psycho Buffy) by and outside source or is this part of the unrealized mating claim? Reader waits semi-patiently for the author to reveal all. Excellent chapter. |

Buffy still has much to tell. Giles still isn't completely getting it.
And of course, it's not as simple as "the only real Buffy is the old Buffy". Giles is a moron. He's still not truly considering the original dominance ritual as a bad idea!! Bastard! These people are only feeling guilt because something bad happened. Their arrogance is revolting.
I'm sure Willow tweaked something about the spell. She never leaves well enough alone.
Can't wait for Joyce to talk to Giles! |

Awesome power you've given Dawn. It would have been wonderful for her to bestow clarity on everyone...but where's the fun in that?LOL

| Revelations | 05/30/2006 06:38 pm |
yes, of course, giles -- buffy beating spike to death would be just *fine* with you! it's not like she'd maybe feel bad about it later, right?
just like it's just fine for dawn and joyce to watch buffy berating spike, beating him, biting him, and drinking his blood. nope, wouldn't traumatize dawn or joyce one bit -- and if it did, wouldn't matter to giles anyway, right?
after all, it's not like *giles* would ever interfere with buffy abusing spike, so it's not like *giles* is in any danger from getting in buffy's way.
i wanna see joyce tear into giles!! pretty please? |

| Interesting chapter. Even if Buffy is thinking Spike deserving of a bit more concern than Giles wants to give him, she still somehow forgot to point out to Giles that Spike saved Joyce from her wrath at great cost to himself. So she's still protecting her ego at Spike's expense here. And that's BUFFY, not the mysterious evil force in her. |

*please* let joyce give giles and the scoobies hell! pretty please? :-) |

| |
| kim | Taking Control | 05/27/2006 08:48 pm |
I hesitated to breathe through most of that chapter...so scared for Joyce. Dawn usuing a little Key influence?
Knew as soon as Buffy drew her fist back that Spike wouldn't let her touch Joyce.
Buffy never seemed to learn the old addage "What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." Lying NEVER makes it better. NEVER comes out right, and good. Her pride and secrets have been causing nothing but pain. |
| glad it could be so moving to you...yes, dawnie will prove to be the "key" in this story in more ways than one...you're right, she could have made things a lot easier by being honest right up front |
| |
| FetchingMadScientist | Taking Control | 05/27/2006 08:41 pm |
| Not sure if the tears in my eyes are from anger at Buffy-yet again walking out and not dealing- or from empathy for the loss that Spike is feeling now. Either way, they're there. Good job JL! |

Whoa......danger Will Robinson! Joyce may get a whole new view of Slayer strength soon. Gaaahhhhhh. Really looking forward to a gang tongue lashing (and not the fun yummy kind) directed at Giles of the brilliant unnecessary plans! Great update.

| I appreciate how you show the automatic reaction of the abused to assume that if they're being mistreated, it's because of something *they* did, even if they were nowhere near the abuser when the abuser flew into a rage. |

| Well, I am glad that Joyce is going to help, but it does seem that Buffy is on the verge of a revelation, an epiphany even. I hope she sticks with that train of thought adn helps get things back on track for her and Spike. |
| yeah, she's starting to make some progress...joyce should be able to help somewhat |

| Kat | Confrontation | 05/24/2006 12:34 am |
great chapter. I meen totally amazing. I loved how dawn was starting to get it and buffy was getting a clue. but now she is going to have to go through it again with joyce. In my last review i said something about joyce not understanding buffy. I didnt really meen this situation particularry i ment in general. I know, and hey even buffy knows, that her thinking is wrong but it is hard to forget all that you have been taught when that is WHAT you have been taught. she was taught to see in black and white and it is really hard to see all the colours in between. She honestly has this believe that demon=bad and human=good. and it will be incredibly hard for her to be able to explain that thought patteren to her mum.
again great chapter and will be waiting for the next update |
| thanx, glad you enjoyed it so much...you've gotta understand, all joyce and dawn had seen before talking to buffy is the results...shaky, scared, beaten up Spike...not exactly conducive to Buffy-sympathizing... but once they know the whole story they'll be more sympathetic |
| |
| kim | Confrontation | 05/24/2006 12:32 am |
Yes...Buffy really has to let go of her pride. I don't think this is a possession by an outside force, as much as it's the Slayer acting on pure emotion. Every time the Psycho has come out, it's been brought out by the beginnings of a negative emotion in Buffy - jealousy, insecurity, defensive anger. She does only make it worse by fighting the claim all the time - it's a side effect of that which is making itself known, since she's been trying to go against everything a claim is supposed to be, supposed to mean.
And they have no idea how bereft Buffy and Spike will both feel if/when the claim is broken - the loss will be like a death. But, I think the only way to "break" the bond is to have another person come in and challenge Buffy for the right to the claim, and win, transferring Spike's ownership to the new person.
And Buffy has to at least admit she felt attraction for him a long time ago. They haven't had the time for her to develop anything else from before then, but attraction has always been there in the simplest way. 'Cause he's hot.
Can't wait to hear Joyce's take. She's the only one that can look at the big picture once she has both sides of the story. The only person loving both people involved in the claim and thinking with an adult perspective. I wonder if she's already forming a specific plan?? |
| i'm trying not to comment on people's speculations, so as not to give the story away too soon ... but i will just say that your ideas are at the very least intriguing...thanx for the thoughtful review |

| aaauugghh!!! NO!! |
| |
| HPfan | Confrontation | 05/23/2006 11:33 pm |
| So glad to finally see Buffy beginning to get a grip on herself. Looks like she's gonna take that first step and not only accept responsbility for what's she's done since the bonding was initiated, but also for the way she's treated Spike in the past. Although Buffy really deserved to get a good tongue lashing from Dawn, I was afraid that if that happened she was gonna end up physically hurting Dawn. Glad you didn't go in that direction. Now that Joyce has arrived on the scene, maybe Buffy will come clean to Giles so he can help. Although, I'm guessing that the only way to make the bond equitable for both Buffy and Spike is for Buffy to reciprocate by accepting Spike's claim. In any case, this was a lovely chapter and I can't wait for the next installment! |
| yep...she's getting there...but yes, she has things to answer for from before the claim was ever initiated...joyce should help make things come out a little more in the open...thanx for the review |

| GOOD FOR JOYCE!! I think that if anyone can get through to Buffy, it will be her. I hope she is able to pull out whatever it is that is controlling her more possesive side, and get rid of it, or at least a handle on what, or WHO it is. Maybe then they can get Buffy some help. |
| i agree, joyce has more influence over buffy than some of the others...thanx for a great review |

| Hmmmm, interesting turn of events. Maybe Dawn and Joyce need to take turns being in the same room with him so that the "thing" inside Buffy can't come out and hurt him until they figure out what is really going on. |
| that might be a good idea |
| |
| Taking Comfort | 05/19/2006 10:33 am |
it's won derful to have first dawn and now joyce (yay, go, joyce!) show up.
i hope dawn gives buffy hell, i hope joyce gives buffy hell, and then i *really* hope joyce gives giles and the other scoobies hell -- giles for thinking of this stupid plan, and the other scoobies for letting the abuse of spike continue.
unlike some comments left, i do blame buffy -- whether or not "she" is the one abusing spike, or whther something is occasionally controlling her, it is definitely buffy herself who keeps making the decision that she'd rather continue taking the (very likely) chance of abusing spike rather than face the potential embarassment of telling giles and the scoobies what's happening and ask for their help in figuring out what's going on and how to control/stop it.
i'd really hate for buffy to get away with the typical scooby "but [insert demon, spell mind-control, hurt feelings, good intentions, etc] *made* me do it" so nothing is ever their own fault.
joyce is the only one who'd never fall for that line, which -- besides her obvious friendship for spike -- is why i love and miss her so much!
so, go joyce!! :-) |
| don't worry, buffy's not gonna get away with the typical scoobie excuse -- which by the way i always hated too -- you will see what i mean ast he story progresses...had to bring joyce and dawnie into it, just had to thanx for the kind words |

I totally love this story to pieces! I have long thought it to be really strange that the only problems in "getting involved" with a demon are external ones. Like questions of ethics and so forth yet I have read a number of stories where Buffy has gained a direct connection to either Spike´s demon or to her own Slayer Demon with no behavioural changes at all.
This situation on the other hand really rocks as far as describing issues with "The Demonic Connection". The problems with Buffy´s dual personality are extremly well written and thought out in a way that keeps you guessing what will happen next. The pace of the story moves effortlessly between the dramatic, the fascinating and the glowing,smoking HOT!
I damn near get abstinence problems between chapters.

| I was wondering when the touchy subject of spousal abuse would come up. I think it's about time Buffy took responsibility for her actions. "Cave Buffy" and "Nice Buffy" are still just Buffy. Grow up Buffy! |
i am making a very deliberate parallel in this story to spousal abuse...i dont know who all has noticed it, but i'm glad you did
even to the point of it sometimes seeming as if the abuser is "a different person" -- which is buffy's case is *somewhat* true -- them taking no responsibility, something or someone else *made* them do it...that sort of thing thanx for the perceptive review |

And I feel for buffy, I really do, she made a MASIVE mistake but she IS paying for it. it is destroying her and her relationships with everyone else. |

I LOVE Joyce here....absolutely awesome.
Dawn's got the righteous anger going...and she really shouldn't confront Buffy now...it's too dangerous. Buffy's going to get defensive and lash out at Dawn for ratting her out to their mom.
Chaining Buffy in the basement would really be a good idea about now. She's more demon than girl lately. |

| Ok, so I had a thought. Maybe this isn't so much a part of the slayer side, so much as maybe just an entity or spirit that possesed PART of Buffy during the ritual. Maybe this "thing" just saw an opportunity at a moment of weakness on her part, and took the leap? It just doesn't seem to be the slayer side of her, so much as just very primal. Maybe it is the embodyment of our deepest most cave man like (primal) desires? I have no idea what I am talking about do I?? LOL! Great chapter...off to read the next one! |
| no comment yet on exactly what it is... your theories are interesting though thanx for the review |

Oh yeah....excellent update. Whew! Finally some folks who care about Spike have seen the truth. YES! Now Joyce can go kick Giles' pale (although shapely), ignorant, arrogant ass for the ill thought out plan to make Spike even more at their mercy than the chip made him. She can help Buffy figure things out too. Oh yes, excellent additions to the story with Dawn and Joyce (read the next chapter too....love the comfort but a bit worried for Dawn).

PS been trying to reply to your kind comments on my fic but having computer problems that is making it difficult at best. Able to read BSV fic through "favorite story" links but cursor acts like a Mexican jumping bean on crack when I go to the site.....hence I "select" on everthing BUT what I want....anyway, thank you so much I've read the reviews and am thrilled you enjoyed What You Wished For. I am always especially chuffed when authors I admire like my stories! |
sounds like a plan to me
and about your awesome fic...it's okay, i totally get computer troubles... an it *was* an awesome story |

Psycho-Slayer is a full-fledged personality, now...and not even Dawn matters to it. Geez, JL...she's gotten seriously scary.
Joyce to the rescue! I hope Dawn spilled all she knew over the phone, so that Joyce steps in immediately upon seeing what Buffy is doing to Spike. And stop hitting him in the head!
Chain Buffy up! Chain Buffy up!
Loved the conversation between Dawn and Spike, though...their bond is very clear...and leave it to a young girl to cling to honesty, and absolute loyalty. |
| yep, joyce will not be pleased with what she's just seen...help is coming up |

Finally got home and had a chance to catch up with all my favorite stories. Worth the wait.
Nice softer moment between them after all the violence.
And what sort of a message was he sending her, what was he telling her about the abusive behavior that was becoming more and more frequent, if he could give himself to her like this so easily, when less than an hour before she had been viciously beating him in an alley, bruising and breaking the flesh she was so tenderly caressing now?...interesting flash to the alley scene in canon Dead Things....what DID that say (other than he was so hopelessly in love that he accepted whatever she offered and that he had low self esteem issues??).
Dawn seems to pacify Buffy, could it be something about Dawn's existence if at the root of the primal Slayer outing?? Just keep writing, this is really compelling (as are all of your stories).
Kathleen
|
| thanx for the review...yeah, this story is deliberately a reflection on their abusive relationship from season six...and in the end, accepting such behavior just tells the abuser that it's okay..acceptable...no comments yet on dawn's role, but it will be important |

| Spikez_tart | Enough | 05/15/2006 07:01 pm |
| JL that was wonderfully sweet and sexy. Feeling a little sorry for Buffy at this moment. She's getting mentally whipped around as much as Spike. Should a vampire call on God? Seems a little oxymoronic somehow. |
| thanx, so glad you enjoyed it...wanted to remind everyone that buffy's not meaning to act the way she is...i wondered the same thing too, about spike using "God" as an exclamation...he did in the show, though, so.... thanx for a great review |

Nice retrospective.
I'm thinking that Dawn's here now, instead of later, because the Monks saw that her protectors have a new, unexpected, bond. If they have a seer in their midst, they should know how much Spike will want to protect her, too. His memories could have been altered to think of her as no more than a bratty kid, but instead, he holds great affection for her. The monks inserted Dawn in their lives in the exact way it would benefit the safety of the Key most. Quite an extraordinary spell. |
| thanx, glad you enjoyed it no comments yet on your ideas, you'll see as we go how correct or incorrect they might be ;) thanx again |

Perfect choices (I read Joyce as an ally even if she hasn't appeared yet). Don't mind a bit if "Dawn wasn't really there yet"....perfect fit for this story. Perhaps in making Dawn (if you are still going to have her be the key), Buffy lost a part of herself and that explains her uber bitch from hell personae. Great update, really, really made me smile.

I am glad that Dawn has the ability to placate (sp??) the beast that Buffy seems to become. Maybe that is a good thing, and a clue to how to keep her under control, cause you know Dawnie will not let anything happen to him.

That's a twist. It's high time for something to happen!
I got kinda tired with Buffy pushing Spike around like that and Spike being so helpless.
But still I like the story very much. ;) |

Classic abuser mindset. It's look what you made me do instead of look what I did.
And good timing for Dawn to appear. Spike needs all the help he can get. |
| yep, and he's about to get it...dawn's not as scared to tell buffy off as her friends are.. |

whoa where did Dawn pop from! oh yah monks, right? Thought about getting Buffy that room in the mental ward yet?Update soon.
Oh and loved this part: *the prospect of the Slayer being locked up for domestic violence was somewhat entertaining.* |
| thanx, glad you liked that bit |

| kim | The Surprise | 05/08/2006 01:51 am |
As for the Scoobies not caring...I don't think that would last if they saw that Spike was showing up really damaged, and a serious reduction of his former personality. Neither Giles nor Willow are completely void of potential compassion, when faced with evidence. Willow was decent to Spike on that night he found out he couldn't bite, and Giles owes him his life from Dru and Angelus. They are not such horrid people that they wouldn't care when faced with atrocities.
You're story takes place before Giles proposed to Spike that he might look on the chip as a chance to change his ways, since that conversation took place after Spike found his crypt. Hence, Giles would still be feeling that way at this point in time...a consideration in mind. I'd rather see him as that multi-dimensional thinker, than - not. |
i agree with you mostly...i think at this point giles would probably just be beginning to consider the possibility of spike's reform...this is *early* season four, beginning just after thanksgiving, right after spike came to them, so he wouldn't be up to "looking for the good" just yet probably...but give him time
you're right, both willow and giles are compassionate people, but havent really seen a lot of evidence yet, and are still at the stage of "last time we saw this guy he tried to kill us" especially willow, who was attacked by spike very recently...
what i'm saying really is, give them a chance they'll come around |
| |
| kim | The Surprise | 05/08/2006 01:37 am |
Dawn?!!! A year early?!!! Whoa!!!! Why now? Did the Powers prod the Monks to do it now to get Buffy back on track? Because the timing is just too much to be coincidental. She shows up just when Buffy is losing more of herself and Joyce is out of town? And of course, Dawn will be on Spike's side...she practically worships him.
Quite a twist you've thrown in. I'm glad Spike remembered that Anya was still there for him. You know, he could make a vengeance wish...I'm sure there's a demon out there who wouldn't mind making the Slayer suffer. |
| more on dawn will be revealed later...spike needed an ally badly, and you're right, the timing (just in time to save him) probably not coincidence ;) thanx for the great review |

| I've enjoyed your stories so far, and I'm trusting you here, but have to admit that this one presents a very disturbing picture of Buffy. Really hoping you won't take the easy way out and have Spike forgive her after a "heartfelt apology" or some such nonsense. Would love to see her get a comeuppance...Ooh, maybe Angel could intervene and trounce her ass for a change. That would be interesting! Wishful thinking on my part, but will stay tuned to see where you go next. |
| thank you for trusting me on this one, and buffy's behavior is meant to be disturbing...and even if it takes me 70 chapters... lol... i will make the eventual turn around believable, no easy endings here, i promise.. Angel may make an appearance yet, no promises either way...but i do promise a bit of a surprise next chapter...let's just say spike will be gaining some of the support he needs |

PLEASE make her at least start to care about how she is hurting him emotionally! I know Joss and co. never did, but oh please let her see it and care.
Anya should dump Xander (as she should have on the show). He wants Buffy and is emotionally abusive to Anya no matter how anyone wants to twist that to make it sound better.
Tense episode...excellent.

| No idea what you are planning, except that Spike is probably in a lot of trouble. I think it that it may take Xander seeing what is going on to really bring it home to the scoobies. Could he walk in on them maybe? I'm sure that then he would have pity for spike, as he did after Glory. |
| yeah, poor spike is probably in for a hard time over this one |

| Maggie | More Questions than Answers | 05/06/2006 10:22 am |
Also not thrilled with what seem to be the upcoming rounds of more abuses. You're a compelling reader (hence with the reading!) -- but I am getting worried on this one. How can Spike feel 'hurt' when she 'rejects' him? Yeah, yeah, there's the claim -- he can't really fight back. But are we supposed to think he has feelings for this raging bitch? This is a season 4 fic. They have no history beyond UST -- and that just doesn't seem like enough for him to be retaining any positive feelings for her at this point. So I'm hoping the 'hurt' is also just an aspect of the claim -- and that the 'real' Spike is totally out of there the minute he is free of the bond.
If not, this is really kind of sick, I'm afraid. Least, that's how I read it now. I just don't see a Spuffy ending here. There just is no foundation in anything positive to justify the HUGE amount of work these two would have to do to move to anything remotely resembling a decent relationship. Well, maybe you will surprise! I really have liked all your other work. And this is, at a minimum, interesting. |
| thanks for the thoughtful review... let me say that their feelings are both being heavily influenced by the claim, as well as other magical forces at work which have yet to be revealed... i am coming from the viewpoint that spike had feelings for buffy already in season 4, just had not acknowledged them...and vice versa...but there will be no easy endings here, as i said before...i'm going to endeavor to makes the changes realistic, even if it takes a while... hopefully you will trust me and stick with it a bit longer, changes are on the way |

| Poor Spike but Dense people talk about rage then send Spike with her. Great Story. Hope the ostrich scoobies at least feel guilty. Great Chapter |
| they are dense but their main problem is they just dont care about spike, unfortunately |
| |
| Nikkole | More Questions than Answers | 05/06/2006 08:02 am |
| Oh, I also wanted to say, at first, I was feeling bad for Buffy, not being able to control the rage inside her; but now, after that conversation, I am not feeling so bad for her anymore. She is very self centered (well, we all knew that), and seems more inclined to keep as much of the truth as possible hidden, than to just suck it up, and have some help figuring out what is wrong with her. Those violent tendencies came out against Xander, and almost Anya a few chapters ago. Maybe she should start thinking about what might happen if she goes off the deep end on one of her friends. Is it going to take someone dying before she finally admits that there is something REALLY worng here? |
| yeah, the thing that is controlling buffy is gaining some strength at this point, but buffy herself tends to be naturally selfish...she will get a bit of a wake up call very soon though |

| You are good writer and have good stories...but I don't think I can take much more of this story. It makes sick to think what Buffy will do to Spike and that no one cares. It's just aweful how she is this possessive person with no feelings for another being. It doesn't feel like she's being possessed by anything...it seems like she's acting that way because she can and the claim gave her that freedom...I don't think I can read anymore... |
| i am sorry that the story is disturbing you, though in a way not as it is meant to be disturbing as far as buffy's behavior is concerned... and the reason it may not seem so much like an actual possession will be revealed soon... also spike will be gaining a bit more support than he has now, i promise.. i'm sorry if you need to stop reading, but i hope you can stick with me til things start looking up |

Oh, and maybe Spike can get bashed around the head a lot so there's evidence for the Scoobies next time.
Poor Anya - she can do much better than Xander. And hey - she warned Buffy not to do this ritual. |

| First, the praise...I am compelled to read this story as soon as you publish each chapter. You certainly know how to hook a reader. Now the concrit (which is really just my confused thoughts as I read along)...Here's the thing...this is early season 4 so Spike *is* still a bad guy. It's just that now he's a bad guy *and* a victim to Buffy's weird psychotic behavior; which I'm hoping you explain soon. Is it a strange side effect of the mating? Because it's out of character. I hope you also address Spike's bad guy status soon as well since the Scoobs really *don't* have a reason to take the side of a guy who has repeatedly tried to kill them and has yet to make even the first step towards redeeming himself. I feel bad for his situation but quite honestly, I understand completely if the Scoobs simply *don't* yet. That said; I am immensely enjoying reading this story! |
| it will be explained soon, i promise...and that is actually a problem for him in this, because they don't really believe him or want to take up for him because as far as they're concerned, he's still their enemy, just harmless .. thanx for the review |

| Go Spike and Anya for pulling the wool over Buffy's eyes this time... I am glad that Buffy really had to come clean. ANd I am sorry for Any but maybe she will get really through with Xander now. Wonder how Buffy is oging to try and talk her way out of this one.. |

About time Spike wins an argument. About time Buffy is called on her lies. About time the Scoobies learn that she isn't the pristine, golden Warrior for Good they like to think her as. Selfish little...
Can we get some Joyce in here, along with Anya? This story is so unbalanced with enemies against Spike, and he shouldn't have to live like this. I bet he'd turn down her challenge in a heartbeat with what he knows now. Never let the damn ritual take place, in the first place. |

I'm reading your story at the Crypt, but I had to find a way to give you a little love back.
I absolutely love this fiction. It's my favorite in a long time.
I see it as a magnification of the s/p relationship in season 6. Spike is obseessed with Buffy and is her "slave." Buffy wants Spike but can't help hurting him. She is also possesive and secretice at the same time.
So it is the same dynamic as the show, but you've given it new life by intensifying it. Now the dynamic is more of a physical forse that neither can escape.
And it's hot! I love a dominent Buffy. |
| thanx, i'm so glad you are enjoying it, it's making a lot of people mad *tucks head sheepishly*... that's kind of how i see it as well, an intenser telling of what happened in season six... thanx for the review |

| they would, wouldn't they? |
| |
| vladt | Dirty Little Secret | 04/30/2006 06:50 pm |

As if Buffy's treatment of him wasn't bad enough, now Xander wants to beat him down? And of course, he had a chip before, you morons. Vampires don't show up looking half starved if they've been able to feed!! Where's the scientific logic Giles and Willow are supposed to possess, hmm?
I don't think tripping would necessarily set off the chip, anyway, since in itself, it is not an attempt to harm. It is a prank for humiliation. Biting, hitting, pinching - those are attempts to cause pain. Tripping someone isn't, 99% of the time.
I hope Anya will intercede with that famous no-bull way with words she has. The whole Scooby group needs to be shamed into next week.
This story pretty much just makes me angry, for Spike mostly. I( don't know if I can continue reading his debasement. |
| yep, the scoobies tend to be pretty dumb when it comes to spike...chip works on intent, and he *definitely* wanted to hurt xander... lol ...anya will be interceding... thanx for the review |

I am really starting to hate Buffy in this. No, not because of her abuse of Spike...I can see that it is likely the primal in her and out of her control. What is pi$$ing me off royally is how she does NOT see how her WORDS are ripping him apart! She has NO regard for his emotions at all. She is only barely feeling guilty for the physical abuse and that isn''t the worst of it by far. It's all about HER as usual. I hate her for that in this story. Spike was better off in the hands of the initiative, at least THEY were open about the torture they had planned.
Excellent update....hope SOMEONE calls Buffy on her emotional abuse but it's more likely Spike will be blamed somehow.......sigh.
I love this story even if it is making me want to bitch slap Buffy for the next month.

| Any sympathy I might have had for Buffy has gone right out the window. She's doing my head in now! Me me me me me! Nothing new there but she's so nasty! Grrrr. And wasn't it Giles's bright idea in the first place? |
| yep, she's very self-centered about it...yeah, it was giles' idea, but he knew nothing about the sex or the biting or claiming or anything like that... |
| |

| kim | The Secret | 04/28/2006 03:02 am |
I just can't feel sorry for Buffy here at all. If she had been trying to do something with honorable intentions, and it went wrong, leaving her this way, that would be one thing. But this whole idea was ridiculous and completely unnecessary, and therefore...she made her bed, and now must lie in it. It's her own damn fault for not approaching this kind of ritual with all seriousness, and the mature thing to do now would be to own up to the mistake and get it put right, including removing herself from harming those around her until the matter is resolved. Some warrior for good! Bah!
Where's Joyce to give Spike a good hug when he needs one? Poor thing...he's brought up some very good points, and she's too selfish to look at them logically for the good of the big picture. I want some of the truth to come out at that meeting, at least. I want Buffy to be forced to admit what's going on...and Giles can share in the guilt for bringing the idea up in the first place. Abusers get away with that crap because they can do it in secret. No longer!! |
| no, she's not handling the situation right at all...but then in my opinion her morals in the show were always a bit skewed....and i agree that the others need to see what's happening here...as to whether or not they will...we'll see |
| |
| MarzBar | The Secret | 04/28/2006 01:58 am |
| Would it be possible for Buffy to inadvertently absorb some of Spike's intelligence while she's doing her mind reading tricks? |
| that would be cool, wouldn't it? |
| |
| Kat | The Secret | 04/28/2006 01:55 am |
oh dear. I read this and I feel for them so much. Both of them. I can totally understand spike's feelings but he doesnt understand buffy's so that makes them feel hurt by eachother so much and it is sad. I see it that was even if it isnt your intention. I see it as buffy hating that she is so crule (kinda) that she doesnt want giles to know. I meen i am sure she doesnt want him to know any of it but it would be hard to talk to your father figure about the fact that you had sex with the 'evil' vamp and then claimed him and went all psyco on him. I dont think I could do it.
Amazing chapter it really made me emotional |

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that Spike eventually lets the demon slip completely when Buffy goes too far and gets some of his own back.
I'm guessing that its worked this way because the ritual was flubbed, so its a bit of both dominance/mating claims, but without her supplication to his claim the forces of the bond are *way* uneven.
I can't get enough of this story, I'm all kinds of addicted. Too long without an update and I might start getting the shakes. I'm thanking my lucky stars for such awesome and speedy chapter uploads!
Now get back to writing. *Insert ominous whip-cracking sounds here*

| Bridget | Mastery | 04/22/2006 09:54 pm |
| I had so much hope for this chapter. Buffy started out as a loving person. But alas it was not to be. It appears that the primal part of Buffy needs to dominate and control. She needs a way to merge her two selves I think. Sort of like the way Spike can control his demon. I don't really know what good talking will do but I hold out hope for the next chapter. Good job. |

ALMOST!!
Thing is, Buffy the *girl* would love to belong to a guy that would treat her right. It's the nasty Slayer demon that's the problem...
Gotta drain her some so she's too weak to resist you if you're going to pull that trick, Spike. And it's not even like he wants to trick her. He just wants to be on even ground again. He totally wouldn't mind staying with a nice Buffy.
What's talking going to do when you'll just get mad at him if he's himself, Buffy? Bitch. Chain her up and throw away the key until Giles and Anya can fix this. |
| you're precisely right...buffy herself isnt the problem really... at least not her *whole* self...if that makes any sense...lol ...chains keep coming up...hmmm.... ;) |

| This chapter was not as bad as I was expecting. I was expecting Buffy to be extremely violent. I am glad she was not. Good for Anya standing up to Buffy. Good chapter. |
| yeah, the reason she was not was because spike was smart enough not to challenge her...he's learning how to deal with her... |

| Buffy needs a mental ward like right about now! She's possessed i tell you and poor Spike. Loved Anya for standing up for Spike. I always liked her but Xander like Buffy was way to daft to appreciate what he had. |
| yeah, buffy's in a bit of trouble |

| I am glad that she realizes that she wants him to, but I wish Anya had been allowed to see what happened so she would understand more of what is really going on. Poor Spike! So confused over his feelings. Knowing he wants her, but not the things she is doing to him, and yet knowing that he doesn't want to be rejected by her, and loathing the feelings the whole time! Poor Buffy for not being able to control whatever it is, wanting to leave so she doesn't hurt him if she changes again, and yet still feeling responsible and staying to care for him. I really enjoyed this chapter, and I hope they find some answers soon, and before it is to late. What if this "other side" of Buffy decides NOT to retreat when she gets submission? Then how will they get Buffy back? The good side of her, that is..... |
| yes, they're both so confused and hurting right now...they need to find a solution...more will be revealed to anya and the other scoobies as the story progresses |

| It seems Buffy has a dissociative disorder of some sort. Spike seems to be learning how to handle her lunacy. More story please. |

Damn....don't know who I feel sorriest for (mad as hell at Giles for suggesting something so volitile but not researching well enough to get it right!!!)
Funny but we DID see a glimpse of this primal Buffy from time to time in S6. This is just amped up a bit and there's less control in her.
Excellent update.

| Nice interaction between Spike and Anya. I don't like Buffy in this story because her domination over Spike is abusive and that is not a healthy situation. I will be glad when Anya figures out what is wrong with her. Nothing good can come from this type of relationship. |

I've been thinking for a while that this new version of Buffy is a danger to more than Spike, and she's about to prove it. Gee, who's really the soulless demon in the room right now? Angelus would be so proud.
Can we chain her up, please? Or send her to Siberia? Where's a vengeance demon when you need one? |
| yeah, things could get a bit dangerous here...chains would be good...could be in the future somewhere ;) lol |

| You know, I feel really bad for Spike, and I also feel bad for Buffy, even hough I think she is a raving lunatic at times right now. I hope that Anya can help. although, I think she (Anya) is about to get a taste of Buffy's posessive demony-bitch side. I have a feeling changes are a-coming, but they ae not going to be very good! |
| Anya will be able to help, and yes, she is about to see a bit of buffy's evil side here... thanx for the review |
| |
| Kat | Friends | 04/18/2006 07:48 pm |
| you know I read some of the reviews and the people are 'mad' at buffy and all I can feel for her is sadness. When i think about not being able to control her reactions added to the fact that every important guy in her life had majorly hurt her mentally either by leaving or crule words or mis-deeds and then add in the fact that she knows that she is hurting spike but cant seem to stop it, they are lucky that she hasnt completely lost her mind. And although i DO feel for spike it is, currently, buffy that i feel for more |
| i appreciate your unique view on this...though i'm actually mad at buffy myself for the way she's treating spike, it's not completely her fault, and there also should be a measure of sympathy, because this isn't easy for her either, as you've pointed out...my choice to write mostly from spike's pov kind of makes that tough for readers to remember i think...anyways, thanx again for a thoughtful review |
| |
| Kittenuno | Friends | 04/18/2006 07:31 pm |
| 'Blood Bound' - I can just imagine Spike describing this tale as a bloody roller coast. It has amazing high points, incredible twists and beautiful emotional dips. 'Blood Bound' is a great work in progress. |

| Nit pick point on the "Ow" door breaking. As a karateka, I don't think the Slayer would hurt like that over wood breaking. I don't and I'm only human. We humans are able to focus up to 6 times our body weight on one point if trained. |
| yeah, but she didn't go at it like deliberately trying to break it...she accidentally put her fist through a wooden door, splintering it...much like xander's hand through the wall in "The Body"...her strength wouldn't matter so much in that case....in my opinion |
| |
| Nikkole | Resistance | 04/18/2006 07:42 pm |

Good story.Stupid Buffy being mean to Spike.I started reading this today because the premise sounded interesting,and I liked it.Do you watch "Bones" or "How I Met Your Mother"?I love David Boreanaz in "Bones".I can't watch anything James Marsters is in, because he sounds so weird without the British accent and he has normal hair.He freaks me out.
Alexis Denisof guest starred on "HIMYM" and I didn't even recognize him without his British accent.He didn't freak me out though.I can't wait until tomorrow.Pizza Hut lunch & then the book store.The book store has movies,but they don't have the one I want.Hopefully,you can order movies like you can order books.I want the first season of "Fraggle Rock".I can't find it anywhere,and just decided to order it.I may be a teenager,but I still love "Fraggle Rock".You can never be too old for "Fraggle Rock".I miss watching it,even though I don't remember much of it.Morning kids shows used to be good,but now they suck.I wish they'd put our old shows back on like "Dinosaurs"(The first two seasons are coming out on DVD in May,and I'm getting them),"My Little Pony(I'm too old to watch that,but still),and countless others.I miss the kids shows of the early nineties,even though I barely remember the early nineties.Update soon. |

| Okay Bitchy Buffy has got to go. I swear if she doesn't get knocked down a peg or TEN, I'm going to scream. I keep hoping that this will get better with every chapter I open. Now it just seems to keep getting worse. {sighs and shakes her head} Sorry, JL. Your writing is phenomenal though to be able to evoke such high emotions in people. I just can't handle any more for now. |
| sorry, tasha, my stories are just majorly angsty...but this one will be looking up, gradually...the next chapter actually begins that path, with spike getting some support and friendship in his situation from anya... thanx so much for your thoughtful reviews, and hope you can continue to enjoy the story... *hugs* |

That's a helluva a time to answer your cell, Anya.
Poor Spike, left alone to the Slayer's mercy. Poor Buffy, left alone with Spike to the Slayer's mercy. Hope there's something Anya can do besides tell Giles. I can just imagine Buffy's embarrassment at that. No to mention, Giles' guilt. After all, wasn't this his idea to begin with? |
| yep, poor spike's in trouble here...but anya will be more help in the future, i promise ;) |

| I'm still thinking Bitchy Buffy is channeling Angelus more than the 1st Slayer. Needlessly cruel and really enjoying it sounds like something more from Angelus' resume. The 1st Slayer was all about kill the demon and move on. Again, excellent writing. I'm really looking forward to see how you come up with explaining/justifying Buffy's current attitude. |
| the first slayer's main thing -- in this story anyway -- is power...so if she's needlessly cruel, it's as a means to the end of making spike submit .. thanx for a thoughtful review |

Fantastic! I just started to read this two days ago at the crypt and I was afriad that it was one of those many wonderful WIP that were last updated in 2003. I am so glad I stopped back to check! And now I know where your fiction lives.
I love your Buffy. Often I don't read Buffy fiction because I feel that authors magnify her flaws. Which is common for all of the characters, but I'm especialy protective of Buffy.
Your Buffy is great. I have a dominant-Buffy kink a mile wide and you have made her dominent actions toward Spike entirely believable with the concept of the bond. I've gone back and read the kitchen scene several times now. So hot!
It was heart-wrenching to watch Spikes desperate attempt to salvage something out of this nightmare during this latest chapter. He is truely on the edge of loosing everything.
I love suspense!
Great story!
|
| i'm so glad you're enjoying it, and glad you like my buffy; everybody seems to hate her *innocent look*..actually I'm not liking her much myself at the moment...anyways, as you're protective of buffy, i'll take it as a compliment that you still like her in this story as will be revealed later, there *are* reasons for her bad behavior toward Spike...thanx for the great review |

I've got a theory that Buffy is channeling the first slayer in her horrible treatment of Spike. I just wish the part of her that isn't a flaming bitch would feel worse about how she is treating him (and notice, really see him kinda notice, how she is tearing him apart emotionally). Anya should bitch slap her on principle.
Excellent update, interesting story.
Kathleen |
| your theory may be right...i agree about the slapping...might do her good... she will notice soon, too, what she's doing to spike, i promise |

Holy Crap! I realize that you very well may not be checking as you are already 15 chapters later, but this is incredible, and i need to review now! The was this is being done reminds me of season 6 buffy (obviously) but the way that you make there be a distinct line between uber-Bitchy!Buffy as opposed to normal kinda-Bitchy!buffy is incredible. It's almost as if her resurrection blurred the line between the feral side and the normal side. I am not quite sure if this is what you were getting at, or i am just taking this a couple steps further than i should; but either way this is amazing. Great work, and i cannot wait to read the next chapters.

| Shanna | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 11:32 am |
| I'm a Spuffy because I adore Spike and I so wanted Joss to do something more positive with this relationship. IMHO, this love story could have matched or transcended all other love stories in print or on the little and big screen. I have to tell you that Buffy was my least favorite character on BTVS way before the series finale. Couldn't take her bitchiness and her denial. Maybe that's why I like Spuffy fanfic...Buffy is a better character most times as treated by fanic writers. This chapter pretty much made me cringe with her 'primal bitch' side Here's hoping Anya and Giles help her control her freaky possessive and cruel side. Hope Spike beats the crap out of her too. The Primal Slayer needs a lesson. Love the story but I just cringe at Spike's pain and Buffy's brutality. Make it better soon so I think there can be a love bond here that both characters feel. |
| things will get better soon....but she was never very nice to him even in the show..even in season 7, in my opinion...she may very well have a butt-kicking coming her way...lol thanx |
| |
| Nikkole | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 11:30 am |
| Interesting turn of events in this chapter! I was truly cringing throught the whole thing! Now, it is obvious that Buffy has no control when whatever it is that happens, happens. BUT, she changes back to herself after the dominance is asserted. Is she going to say that it is THAT side of her that is at fault? Will it be like Angel? "oh, but he didn't have a soul then". Cause that is a big load of BS. I think this is just a hidden part of Buffy, that is able to come forward when she is trying to be dominant with Spike. I hope he bite her when he sees her next. Let him drain her a bit, take the power away and see where things go then. Maybe the chip doesn't work on her, because whatever this other side of her is, is less than human enough to not make the chip fire! I can't wait for more!! |
| i agree that the whole angel/angelus thing was a load of crap...i pretty much agree with you here, but i'm not saying for sure how this story is gonna come out, but you're at least partially on the right track thanx |
| |
| Amarysso | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 11:11 am |
| I wanted to introduce Buffy to hot pokers or something like that for how she was treating Spike. Good to hear it was her primal side and not both sides coming one, I was scared that was happening. I feel so sorry for Spike. |
| lol..again, kind of the reaction i was going for there...thanx for the review |
| |
| idk5743228 | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 10:27 am |
| Let's see, for some reason I'm hearing the demon made me do it, It wasn't me! Maybe I'm wrong but for some reason I'm seeing a great simularity between Buffy telling herself it wasn't her and Angel/Angelus using that excuse. Please tell me I'm wrong. That was probably one of the most disturbing chapters I've ever read. Well written, but disturbing. |
| i agree with you, i never bought that excuse either...a parallel will be drawn though...it was supposed to be disturbing, so thank you |
| |
| FetchingMadScientist | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 10:17 am |
| Dramatic tension, I can take, done it myself. But this...If you meant for us to "see red," than I am sooo there! Gonna go breathe now. I hope this gets better for Spike, and soon! |
| i did mean for you to "see red"... but then, i always go for the dramatic emotional reaction...lol thanx for the review |
| |
| kim | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 09:05 am |
Forgot to say that at this point, I want Spike to get his power back, and then his freedom. 'Cause honestly, how is Buffy going to control the Slayer demon so she doesn't behave like this anymore? How would *this* ever turn into a healthy, equal relationship? It won't. If he happened to drain her dry right now, I wouldn't be the least bit sad. No means no.
Let's see how Buffy likes it, huh? |
| well, i have to say i disagree on one point...buffy could learn to control her demon in much the same way that spike learned to control his...he went from killing on a consistent basis to changing everything...for love...hmmm...let's see how things pan out for buffy ;) |
| |
| Pin | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 08:31 am |

| ~*~Tasha~*~ | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 06:58 am |
| Okay how many times does Spike have to say stop before the bitch STOPS! I want to back hand her so far that I'm shaking with rage right now. Stop means stop. That word isn't a game for her to play with. Stupid bitch. She needs a serious wake up call. This is beyond domination when she takes it to cruelty of that magnitude. The bitch needs to be taken down a peg or ten. |
| i agree with your anger, she is treating him very cruelly...and she will be taken down a few pegs |

| ok ... so either Buffy is not so human anymore or chip is still deactivated. and i'm dying to know which. are u gonna make us wait real long 4 the answer like the other times? it's funny one moment Buff's all mean and i want her punished, next she's sweet and i think she should have spike. glad spike finally stood up 4 himself |

Now that's an interesting development. Question is: Why didn't the chip fire? Faulty spellcasting -as is business as usual when it's a Willow-cast spell. Or is there something more sinister at work here? Guess we'll find out soon enough.
And WHOA, intense barely begins to describe it. You have certainly mastered the extremely difficult task of bringing out the darkness in your characters. I'm not afraid to admit that my heart was pretty much in my throat as I read this chapter. Each new paragraph made me want to look away; look anywhere but at this picture being painted. Buffy's cruelty, Spike's tears. Chilling.
Oh yes. Intense barely describes this. |
| we shall see...thanx, i'm glad you're enjoying it....that's exactly the reaction i was looking for thanx again |
| |
| Lou | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 04:16 am |
Hopefully Buffy has realised that she's the one who needs to be controlled. Tragic for Spike though.
You've got us all stirred up here - brilliant! |
| thanx so much, got a bit more reaction than i was hoping for actually...lol.. thanx |
| |
| kim | The Discovery | 04/13/2006 03:51 am |
| Whoa! Oh! Either she's too much demon now to be recognized as human, or that chip is wonky now because of the spell. Yes! Get some of your own back against that horrible bitch Slayer, Spike. If you can hurt her, you can make her pay for raping you. She needs to go down, hard. |
| not telling yet about the chip...spike will use this to his advantage, i promise...he's just got to find a way around the claim first... |

| I'm amused that so many people are so pissed at Buffy for cting like she is, when you make it perfectly clear in the fic and in the comments that she's basically being controlled by her own demon, and presumably the same people didn't have problems when Spike is controlled by *his* demon and acts all primal and possessive. |
| i was wondering about that, if i'm not making it clear enough that she's not really in control... lol thanx for the great review |

Hmm, I'm finding it a little odd that some folks are shouting 'Bad buffy making Spike a sex toy' here. Didn't anyone watch season 6 of Buffy then?
As far as I'm concerned she's treating him as well as she did during then, if not better, because at least she feels gulity/confused about here behavious towards him, which is more then she ever did during that point in the show!
Still loving this love, and I look forward to the next update. |
| yeah, it's her typical behavior...but i agree she's treating him very badly, and i thought she did in the show then, but here she *does* actually have some room for change...thanx for the review |

Dang. Buffy jsut loves to torture him? {sighs and slaps Buffy} Here is Spike being willing to dust himself because of what he heard ... is she really that stupid that she doesn't realize that was why he was leaving? He has feelings too, and she needs to start realizing them. {kicks Buffy in the ass}
Well written chapter. I'm just really wanting to kill Buffy even more. |
| its gonna take her a while to get it...she's very self-centered anyway, and now there's the effects of the ritual to consider, too, that are affecting her behavior...thanx for the review |

Yuck. Still don't like how she's treating him, either.
Spike really should have listened to the whole convo. Even better, he needs to have a private talk with Anya, too.
It's so not fair to use the claiming mark against him. Spike used to be a powerful warrior, now he's just a sex toy. |
| yeah, i agree...dont worry, he and anya *will* have a talk... i agree that buffy is being a creep at this point, and it does not completely excuse it, but she is not completely in control here... thanx for the review |

| HMMM, interesting turn of events. Does she want to undo it if she could or not? Kind of confusing, and yet still a bit of that "not quite Buffy" Buffy. Did that make sense? I am still at odds over this story, I am just not sure where it is going, but I do enjoy reading everything you write, so, of course I will stay with it and see where it goes! |
| she really doesnt want to undo it...of course her immediate reaction when she finds that she has entered an eternal "marriage" sort of bond, the mating claim, completely by accident, is going to be "can we undo it"...but really, she doesn't want to...there is a definite reason for her bad behavior toward Spike too...as will be revealed later...hope you enjoy the story as it goes along |

| Love the morning between them. I just hope things stay calm. But what in the world will Anya say to Buffy now. She has really peaked my interests. |
| calm? not likely...but things should even out a bit...though we havent seen the last of dom-Buffy...though things will get a bit more complex from here on out |
| |
| gaillee | The Aftermath | 04/07/2006 10:19 am |
| Alright, enough! You are writing this so well; my emotions have been jerked around so much. So, I'll be eagerly waiting to find out if this is a mating claim. I did like the tenderness from Buffy. But I do hate it when Spike is weak and fearful...he should not be weak with Buffy. Thanks for another update. |
| jerking around of emotions...check...my work here is done ;) thanx for the great review...as to our poor boy...you'd be a bit apprehensive too after the night he's just had and the way she treated him, wouldn't you? |

Is it totally sick of me to want Joyce to find out how her baby girl is acting towards Spike? Whether Buffy was in control of her actions or not, she still has quite the attitude that needs to be humbled, and there's nothing like a mother to set a girl straight.
Underestimating Anya's perception and knowledge again....I can't wait for Anya to lay out the truth for bitchy Buffy. Stupid immature little brat...where was I? Ah, yes, the full truth coming into play...please let it be shared to all, 'cause Buffy cannot be allowed to continue this behavior without consequence. |
| yeah, she definitely has an attitude...and anya's revelation will make her change the way she sees things a bit...but we havent seen the end of dominant buffy yet...there are gonna be consequences of what she's done.. |
| |
| just sue | The Aftermath | 04/07/2006 03:12 am |
Oooh! Bet we all know! LOL
Super chappie, hun. Am so looking forward to the fall out from this. *grins* Thanks ever so and looking forward to more. |
| bet you've at least got more idea than buffy does thanx for the review |
| |
| MarzBar | The Aftermath | 04/07/2006 02:14 am |
| Hmmm. When she finds out what kind of claim it is, how will she feel about her arrogant and careless attitude towards Spike; treating him like chattel? |
| definitely a bit different...but she's not gonna come around instantly.... thanx for the review ;) |
| |

it's one of those...things!
The thing all readers dread, though are helpless under its thrall...

Nooooooo!!
Awesome chappie, JL! But, dammit! **points to cliffie** Did I mention those things are evil? You're killing me with the anticipation, here! |

| Now we are getting somewhere with Buffy ... at least it looks like it. Anya is going to set her straight. YES! {Grins} Loved the tenderness shared between Buffy and Spike in this chapter. Warmed my heart. I look forward to the next chapter. |
| yes, she's starting to see some of the other effects of the claim(s) that they have made...glad you liked this chappie |
| |
| Athenewolfe | The Lesson | 05/03/2006 07:33 am |
| oh I can;t wait to see what happens next. I love Anya in this and have this strange feeling of anticipation and dreadin my stomach ... great chapter! |
| glad i could get that reaction, kind of the one i was aiming for...thanx |
| |
| Nikkole | The Lesson | 04/07/2006 08:51 pm |
| I am still not getting this story I guess. I like it very much, and I am sure that you are MEANING to write Buffy and Spike a bit out of character, but it is hard for me to grasp. I can't wait to read about the talk that Buffy is going to have with Anya. I am sure it will clear alot of stuff up for us readers! |
| yes, the OOC stuff is deliberate...there are reasons for the way they are acting...the talk will reveal some of them |
| |
| Esther | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 11:26 pm |
| *eyes popping out* Boy howdy, that was.....whoa!! Man, wonder what kinda of claim Buffy did on Spike and whether it's her inner Slayer that's come out to play. Dang, that was great!! More!! |
| thanx so much, glad you liked it |
| |
| letitia | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 02:14 pm |
| Well what a way for Spike to learn this lesson. And what is there for Anya to tell Buffy?? Love this chapter. |
| you'll see |
| |
| Lilachigh | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 12:22 pm |
| I’m trying to like this Spike, but not succeeding too well. |
| sorry hope you like the rest better |
| |
| galatea | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 11:55 am |
I like the idea that Buffy is perhaps not totally in control of her actions. Spike's evil behavior is often attributed to the demon that lives inside him, and it looks like maybe Buffy has someone else residing in her as well.
I too hope that the blatant Spike torture doesn't go on too long, though. I tend to like it more when the chapters flip flop the upper had in the struggle. |
| thanx, glad you're enjoying this...spike's gonna have a time trying to get the upper hand here...but things will start toward evening out soon |
| |

| Is it amazing that the Valley Girl thought she could initiate a claim that would have no repurcussions on herself? I hope Anya sets her straight. More story please. |
| lol...not really...don't worry, anya will help |
| |
| pretty_in_fangs | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 08:55 am |
| Oh my oh my. I shouldnt' be allowed to read such things first thing in the morning. That was wonderful. I've gotta admit that I love dominated Spike, but at the same time I can't wait until they realize that she's his, too. Should be just as fun. |
| lol...thanx, glad you're enjoying this... |
| |
| FetchingMadScientist | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 08:47 am |
Um...can I say, kinda creeped out by Buffy just now. Shades of Faith, complete with the "popping cork" speech.
And can I say...if Buffy doesn't want to give Spike what he needs, *blushes shyly* may I give it a go? |
| yep, you're supposed to be a bit freake out by her actually |
| |
| Jackofspikes | The Lesson | 04/06/2006 08:46 am |

| Poor Spike - it's very sad to see him completely emasculated and reduced to saying nothing but 'Please ' to PsychoBuffy. He'd be better off going sunbathing! |
| yeah, he's in a bad way at the moment...just why will be revealed later |
| |

| Whoa! Buffy is quite the little dominatrix, eh? I can't help feeling for Spike throughout the whole thing. As always, eagerly looking forward to the next update. |
| yep, she can be a bit on the scary side...and feeling for spike, quite what i was hoping for...he's kind of the wronged party in this little situation |

Holy moly. That was pretty strong and involved. She has definitely found her inner Mistress Bitch Buffy.
I hope that Anya sets Buffy straight on just what kind of claim she did. Cause I'd love to see Spike get back some of his own here. That kind of play is all fun if it is truly what both want, but Spike wants Buffy to understand what its like on his side too. She isn't just the first under his feet.
Hope the next update comes pretty soon. |
| Anya will definitely help her understand a little better what she has done...and Spike will get back some of his own...but things are gonna stay a bit uncomfortable an on or over the edge for a bit |
| |
| Bridget | The Lesson | 04/05/2006 08:48 pm |
| I sort of understand why these chapters were necessary but I hope that Spike comes back to being his own person or that Buffy realizes that this is not a dominance claim. I don't think I like Buffy being a mean dominatrix and Spike not having a spine. |
| he will; she will...they will figure everything out in time |

WOW you out bitca'd the canon LOL. Buffy deserves some serious payback for torturing our boy. Much as I love the image of him in chains and love H/C fic I can't imagine having him in my power and wasting the time hurting him *G*, at least not REAL pain.
Love the story. Interested to see the effect on Buffy and wish she'd just be his too. sigh........ungrateful Slayer.

| Robyn | The Lesson | 04/05/2006 06:59 pm |
| I really loved this chapter and I thought that Buffy’s fear of herself when she realized some of what she had done the night before was great. I really hope that Anya can help her understand better what is really going on. I found Spike’s thought of how this claim of Buffy’s most resembled the type of claim his sire has over him and not a dominance claim interesting. I am really looking forward the exploration of the questions that some of the thoughts in this chapter raised and the also finding more out about the primal part of herself that Buffy has unwittingly tapped into and that something in Spike recognized with ‘a sense of dread and terror’. I am really looking forward to the next update. |
| yeah, i'm hoping to go pretty in depth here with some of these concepts...hope you continue to enjoy |
| |
| kim | The Lesson | 04/05/2006 06:58 pm |
That was...revolting. Wait - I'm not meaning it as a flame, but how she was acting...okay, Spike's smarter than this. Spike's the kind of guy who would have read anything, talked to anyone, to learn his vampire heritage. Especially knowing how Angelus operated, and what a lying controlling bastard he was. Spike's the kind of guy to seek out the truth on his own. He doesn't go for bullcrap.
Yes, you had him figuring out some things here, but...I'm just really tired of seeing his power taken away all the time. He deserves better. He is better.
I hope Anya will straighten the BOTH of them out on this claim, because I'm this close to wanting some major pain to happen to Buffy. She's disgusting, and she only starts to think about it in the light of morning? Ugh. |
| i agree about Buffy's behavior... though some of the reason for it will be revealed in time... Anya will help them understand quite a bit of it, and in time things will change...but buffy's behavior was intended to be a bit on the disturbing side |
| |
| redwulf50 | The Lesson | 04/05/2006 06:48 pm |
| oh shit this is scarily good, but Spike still has some wiggle room |
| yep...and he's gonna use it, that's for sure! |

When it comes to my Spike 'kinks' we must have been seperated at birth love! 'Helpless Spike' hits me 'right there' I'm afraid. *g*
I don't care if your Buffy isn't 'cannon' (a misused phrashe if ever I heard one, as by it's very nature fanfic isn't cannon) But I'm more then happy to stick around for the ride and see what Buffy has in store for our wee vamp next.

Ok, not sure that I like the idea of Buffy giving Spike a belting... and it certainly doesn't seem very Buffy-like behaviour... so maybe an effect of the claim?
I'm intrigued to see where you take this from here... I do hope you give Spike back his balls though. |
| no it's not very like her is it? yes, the claim is effecting them both...just how will be revealed later...dont worry, spike will get back a bit of his own |

thanx for your kind comments, personally i think there's enough fic out here that my little -- okay, not so little -- slave!Spike fetish only is a drop in the bucket next to, as you said, all the many stories that portray spike dominating buffy...both are quite delicious, depending on your mood...hehe... *evil grin*...i just tend to write mostly -- okay, all -- one of the two ;) thanx again |

| Very interesting. And what the hell is wrong with Buffy? Obviously she is going a bit off the deep end here, is it a consequence of the mating/dominance ritual that happened? Maybe since she claimed him, but he didn't submit to her for the original ritual, something in her brain went a little haywire? Or maybe she is channelling some of his demon? Very good chapter, and I can't wait for more!! |
| yes, something is definitely wrong with her...as will be revealed later...thanx for an insightful review as always |
| |
| SpaceLord | The Consequences | 04/03/2006 08:25 pm |
Hmm the thing that bugs me about this story/claiming is that to me it feels like this Spike is someone who would submit to anyone. I mean for all I can read into his actions he would submit to Angelus if that were the case. I mean he hates Buffy in this period of the show maybe not as much as Angelus but still, the way she is dominating him is similar and I just can't picture the Spike I've seen on the show bending to anybody like that. Sure after he falls in love with her he would do it no questions asked but I don't really see him falling in love with Buffy in this story yet.
If you had just put something in the earlier part where he was falling for her for some reason or another I don't think I would have so much trouble with it.
As the man said himself "he's loves bitch" but I doubt he would be anybody elses bitch no matter how much of an inner slayer Buffy pulls out of her ass. She might have an inner slayer that is some watered down demon from a long time ago but Spikes got an actual live demon in him.
I know that it's not canon but to me the story is just changing from the time point of the start of this story and uses all that has happened on the show before that as it's background and thus making Spike the same as he was on the show. If that is not the case feel free to point that out, real soon. Based on all this to me Spike is just doing the total opposite of what I would expect him to do and to be honest I can't see a real good reason in the story yet as to why he would do it. If you had created original characters they would come with backgrounds that hopefully would explain why they do what they do but since using BtVS characters and fairly canon too, all my knowledge comes from the show and how they acted on that.
I really like your writings in general and some of your other stories are some favs of mine so it's definetly not your writing I'm complaining about, although I seem to recall you forgetting to put a "c" in black in this chapter ;). I just wish that if you make such changes to the characters from the show that you give a background to the changes and why they would do certain things.
Actually if the claim had been because they were having an intimate moment and not fighting for dominance I would probably have bought it.
To me I think she should just break him and then toss him aside cause this is a really weak Spike and not much use to her as I see it. He would undoubtedly give up Dawn if tortured by Glory and give in to the first without much effort. He's obviously very weak and therefor more of a liability than anything.
Thats probably what it comes down to for me in this story. Spike is weak I mean really weak compared to the Spike I saw on the show. Except for the fact that I don't much care for this Buffy (not that the show Buffy was much better) I can't really say that this Spike is filling me with the same compassion I had for the vampire on the show. In this story you have stripped him of one of the key things that made him Spike, the way he never breaks and that he never gives up or in to some one in authority or in a dominating position. To me I think that Spike is really closely related to the Marlon Brando in "the wild one" when asked what he's rebelling against "what have you got" paraphrasing here . To me Spike can be divided into 2 parts the fighter, rebel and general trouble maker that don't give in to anybody but a person he loves. He might not win every fight but he will never surrender or give in. The second part being his big heart and how he loves so completly and utterly once his love is given.
So to me it comes down to the simple thing of cause and affect. I see no cause in this story for Spike to accept Buffys claim. He does not believe that she is having sex with him cause she cares about him and he don't really care about her so why would he break and accept it? When dealing with Spike and making him do as she wants there are only 1 way to go, love first then pushing him around. Once he's in love he will do whatever Buffy tells him but to get him to surender to her domination without love to me is about as believable as Tom Cruises son running through a wall of fire and coming out alive on the other side unharmed in "war of the worlds" or that the same aliens who planned that invasion for what appears to be at least a couple of hundred years can't be arsed to read up on biology and germs. That has to be the dumbest movie I've seen in a long time and it takes it self seriously too.
So in Spikes case I would say that the saying of "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegear (sp?)" is really true.
Hopefully the coming chapters will give me something that will change my mind or maybe you could point out in the story something I missed that would make it make sense to me. I have no doubt that this will be (is) an excellent story and will have a nice happy ending but still until I read the end I don't know how much this will bug me. Hopefully I can see the logic behind it soon or else I'll probably just stop reviewing since I don't think me beating a dead horse is very constructive.
I prefer character driven stories and as such I need to know why a character does certain thing and if they are acting "out of character" it really bugs me so I hope you forgive me for giving you such a hard time with it. I hope you understand my concern, it's not that Buffy beats up on Spike or that she dominates him. Even though Buffy is out of character the "inner slayer" (no matter how lame I think that is) explains what she is doing. But there is no "inner weakling" that would explain Spikes behaviour, maybe they should have put that in the challenge. Spike gets cursed and becomes a nancy boy who give in at once, just an idea I'm tossing around here.
Well enough ranting now, I'll keep reading this story but I'll probably keep my reviews down to a few words from now on. The reason I felt the need to write this one is that "the inner nancy boy" seems to have completly taken over Spike, are we ever going to see the Spike we all know and love from the show? |
Here's the thing though...as i mentioned earlier...perhaps i haven't made it clear enough, but at this point in "canon"...Spike already *did* love Buffy, just didn't know it yet...so when the claim came about, it would follow that he would at least subconsciously *want* to be her, because he *is* in love with her...
and from the moment that he accepts her claim in this story, much of his submission is a result of that claim...as will be revealed later in the story...
i hope that you continue to read the story, but only if you're enjoying it....
thanx for the thoughtful review |

| gee...thanx... ;P lol...no really, it's buffy that's really clueless about it all...the ritual as she was *supposed* to perform it would not have been a claiming, it was an ancient ritual performed among *vampires* and the council wouldn't have a lot of detail on it...but buffy pretty much messed the whole thing up...lol...thanx for the review |

wonderful writing until i read this chapter :-(
the way you wrote it, the only reasonable outcome would have been a mating....
you realize, that men are more than simple characters ? why whould women be more in control while being on the edge of an orgasm as men ??????
and THIS spike we are talking about is not the willing slave of buffy because he's in love with her, so the outcome is irrational. at this point i'm close to say f... off, but the other reviews show me, that you still are a spuffy writer and perhaps there's still hope. |

You know I love your fics, JL. You have a way of things twisting around to come back to things. That's why I made sure to say that I still think the writing is great. You know me ... I just can't handle all the up and down emotions sometimes.
Oh and as for the non-canon poke at you in a review that was left by one of your readers ... You're a Misfit, JL. {chuckles} Hmmm ... that must be why you're my sister Misfit. Besides just about every story that is out there can not be considered canon no matter how much you make the characters similar. Face it folks ... if you change the storyline at all ... you aren't canon. You may call it fannon, but that is as close as you can get. |
yeah...i guess i dont have a lot of respect for canon...bad me... lol...you're totally right though...95% of fanfic is not canon... and the whole claiming concept was never once touched on in joss's world that i recall...we just kind of somehow adopted it lol

Hmm if I remember the Angel bite correctly he bit her more on the shoulder. The way I say that he bit her artery in the neck is because he wants to weaken her fast and that's what he would do if he did the neck artery.
I've been thinking about it and what really bugs me I guess is that I think Spike is so far out of character it's not even funny.
I mean here is the guy who never breaks for anything. He didn't break for Angelus during the initial 20 years of his unlife, Glory didn't manage to break him and the first didn't either. So now you tell me how it is that Buffy by squezing some nice muscles manage to break him in 5 minutes? That is what is truly bothering me. He is the ultimate rebel never does what anybody wants just on pure need to go against authorothy.
So signing up to be the slayers bitch is something that I can't ever see him doing unless it was his own will. He could loose the fight and even his life but I can't ever see him surendering willingly. To me this is just not in him, never saw him doing that in the show. He would choose death over that.
Hope that this makes sense and that I'm not just coming off as being upset about Spike loosing (which I am of course ;)) but that I feel it's not something he would do if you are doing this in canon. |
you're right for the most part...but the one thing, if we're going to be strictly canon (which by the way, my writing is usually NOT) you're forgetting is this:
The one thing in the whole of the series that *was* ever able to break Spike....
was Buffy....
He fell for her and he fell hard and never, ever recovered...

His claim is there no matter what she says - it's just more on the possession level, than the mate level.
Since he returned hers, though, that's on a mate level.
She's his, period, whether she likes it or not. And this claiming has nothing to do with the ritual. That moment is already past. Buffy's in for a surprise. |
| you may be right...they are both in for a bit of a surprise...not saying exactly how this is gonna turn out, but they basically screwed the ritual up big time thanx for the review |

Her rejecting his claim like that would have killed Spike inside William and all. She'd be on a list of all those others who rejected him. I have faith in your Spuffy though, and I'll review again after I read a few more chapters. I think I'll wait for a few more chapters to post before I read again. {huggles JL} |

This sucks, do you have any idea how fast a human loses life if the artery in the neck is punctured. I think it's five breaths or five seconds. Now that would make Spike the winner by default no way would she be able to fight it, the blood loss would be too fast and too much for her to put up a fight. Somehow I don't think that Spike is a sloppy eater and would allow himself not to hit the artery. Once in it's game over really. So in any case she would just bleed to death really fast if she yanked his fangs out. No other way around it really.
So you really shouldn't have let Spike bite Buffy cause that just makes it non believable really
Unless he bit her somewhere other than her neck but that's not the impression I got.
No Spike is the clear winner you need to go back and do this chapter over again |
okay here's the thing though....he wasnt trying to kill her, he was trying to subdue her and claim her, so he wouldnt have hit the artery, deliberately...also...angel drank from buffy's throat for longer than a few seconds and she lived...she's the slayer, not a normal mortal...
that's my defense...
so there
thanx for the thoughtful, in depth review by the way ;) lol |

that was hAWTT, can't wait for more.
I know you said things weren't as clear as they seem but I'll be doing my happy dance cause it was Buffy who did it anyway! |
| lol...thanx, glad you thought so...yeah, she did win...kind of...but there's gonna be more to this than she realizes... |

| deedo | The Struggle | 03/29/2006 03:38 pm |
wow... lovely update and lots of bitey goodness
he really really tried to resist
and with your a/n you got me all kinds of curious now, I wouldn't be surprised if I get all nervous and twitchy tomorrow during endless hours of dull work 
|
| hope i have satisfied a bit of curiosity, though probably not much by this point |
| |
| Yzba | The Struggle | 03/29/2006 03:31 pm |
| That was good!!!! I really like this story, and the more I read, the more I like it. But there is a mistake when Spike takes control, you used through instead of threw. She threw her head. At least in my opinion;) |
| thanx for the tip and the review, glad you are enjoying it |

This should be interesting. How does he turn the tables from here? |

| I forgot to add, when I said owned I meant less in the dominant way and more in the heart and soul way. |
| i agree |

*gasps* Ahhh!
God, I look for updates on this constantly. And you never disappoint! Another amazing chapter. Can't wait to see where your going with this. (you would think it's clear cut and Buffy's the winner, but after your author's note....) |
| thanx so much, glad you like it |
| |
| Robyn | The Struggle | 03/29/2006 01:22 pm |
| There is only one word to describe this chapter, HOT. I loved the shifts between the two of them and how Buffy unwittingly drew on and became more in tune with her slayer powers. And with your little note at the beginning I am really looking forward to where you take it from here. And as for her winning this round, she might have been a bitch to him, but in the end all she did was formalize the fact that she already owned him. Please update soon. |
| thanx, so glad you enjoyed this |

| Woah, hot stuff. Can't wait to see what comes with the claiming package, and how they'll deal with it and Buffy's slayer side. |
| should be interesting ;) |
| |
| Kat | The Struggle | 03/29/2006 12:24 pm |
| ok then. He accepted her claim BUT it didn't really seem like a dominance thing now did it. HMMM I wonder what will happen next |
| nope...not quite... |
| |

Hot damn! I mean...hot damn!
OK. Taking into consideration your A/N I will be keeping the most open of minds about what seemed to be a pretty convincing win. Really am so looking forward to what happens next. Thanks ever so, sweetie. |
| thanx so much for your great review...she did win...but there's a bit more to it than she thinks |
| |
| Bridget | The Struggle | 03/29/2006 11:29 am |
| I sort of expected that you would make Buffy the victor. I hope however, the claim is not going to work as she expects it to. Good chapter. |
| it wont quite...she doesn't really know exactly what she's done... |

| Great update-- this game only gets more and more interesting! Can't wait to see if Spike can think with the right head and try to turn the tables. It will be interesting to see whichever way you go with this-- whether it is Buffy or Spike who emerge victorious. 'Course, a draw would be truly fitting, since they are really equally matched. Keep these updates coming! |

Sneaky bastard...he's got a plan up his sleeve.
She's still underestimating him. Frankly, always will, since he's well over 100 years older than her. Her arrogance still needs to be wiped off the planet.
Please let Spike winn, if anybody does. I don't want to see him be a victim again. |
| oh yeah, he's definitely got a plan...not saying if it will work...but i will say this, whether or not he wins...he won't be a victim...;) |

i really liked the fight, and that both of them had the chance to land a few good blows
and we all know by now, that fighting seems to be their kind of foreplay, and i'll say so far it was a rather 'intense' fight |

| |
| SpaceLord | The Conflict | 03/25/2006 12:33 pm |
Hmm I think I put it in a bad way with my former review. What I really mean is that I have a hard time with him being distracted by Buffy actions. Something that is purely Spike is his very singlemindendness, very goal oriented approach to the things that he does and at this point in time he might have feelings for her but he's just as good as Buffy in the art of doing breast strokes in the Nile ;)
There is also the the whole thing with him being distracted and not going for the win when he's got the chance. This comes from my own experience when playing sports, you don't let up until the fat lady sings and with his experience I don't think that he would even give her a chance to do that if he had the opportunity to end it. It's something very basic and primal that you get when you start to focus solely on the task at hand, everything else kind of zones out. I've probably seen it done best in a Kevin Costner movie where he was a pitcher for a baseball team and how everything just faded away but him and the guy trying to hit the ball. Then there is the whole muscle memory thing, it's what you do on automatic without thinking cause you have done it so many times before and sinking his fangs into someones throat would to me be the best known one of all. I mean he's been doing it probably every night for the last 100 years or so. That is a lot of practice.
Of course my thoughts on the subject might be right on a technical level but that probably wouldn't make the story better
Just thought I'd give you something to think about for future stories. |
| lol...i see your point on a technical level...thanx for the feedback |
| |
| lilmamaday | The Conflict | 03/25/2006 08:23 am |
| Buffy was working her feminine charms, I am proud of her. You use what you got! I can't wait to see what happens next~ |
| lol....you know it girl thanx for the review |
| |
| SpaceLord | The Conflict | 03/25/2006 06:11 am |
| Hmm don't know if Spike would care at this point in time to be honest. I mean he's been humiliated for a few weeks or something like that. I don't recall him not wanting to kill her up until he had that dream in season 5. If I recall correctly just a few hours before that he tried to kill her. Although I guess he would be chocked I guess that's what he's feeling when Buffy pulls that stunt. |
| well i'm going off the canon premise that he *did* love buffy even back then even though he didn't know it...that's why dru left him, remember? and if she did something like that,initiating contact without a spell or anything like that, what might his reaction be? thanx for the review |
| |
| Esther | The Conflict | 03/25/2006 02:06 am |
| Oooh, that's about the cruelest thing Buffy's ever done. Man, can't wait to see Spike's reaction and what happens next!! Great chapter!!!!! |

| |
| Robyn | The Conflict | 03/25/2006 01:32 am |
| I've got to admit after what he pulled with the putting away their weapons the kiss and punch that Buffy pulled felt good. I was all for him kicking her ass, but now I'll be happy either way, or if they both come out ahead. His comments about her sexual prowess evened up a whole lot of her bitchieness toward him. Though that might just be because that is a sore spot with me. Looking forward to what's to come. |
| i agree...everyone's gotta remember, they *are* mortal enemies, and he *has* tried to kill her more times than not...her thinking is a little screwed up on what she's trying to do, but she *is* trying in her own way to actually not have to kill him... |

| FANTASTIC update! The way you wrote Spike was perfect...just perfect! Can hardly wait for more! |
| thanx so much, so glad you like it |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | The Conflict | 03/24/2006 11:02 pm |
JL ... I love your writing, but I really want Spike to kick Buffy's arse into next year. Yeah he did his whole fake on the drop thing, but did she really think he was that stupid? She was being foolish and naive. Plus she's taunted him incessantly. I'd want to kill her myself at this point.
She is pretty stupid to do that when Spike is just looking like he's having second thoughts. That is only going to infuriate Spike more, and I hope he pounds her into the ground at his mercy at this point. Stupid bitch. |
| true, true....but as i said in a different response, she really didn't know he was having second thoughts...he was going for her throat when she did it ... I think i've built up an excessive amount of Buffy-hostility here.. lol ;) |
| |
| Elizabeth Anne Summers | The Conflict | 03/24/2006 10:34 pm |
ROFLMAO!!!!!! *falls over laughing*
Omg, at this rate it'll be a tie. |
| lol...you may be right |
| |
| Max | The Conflict | 03/24/2006 10:12 pm |
| Oh yeah, smart one Buffy - just when he's having second thoughts about biting you after he won, you have to go and encourage him to do just that. She really thought that one out huh? |
| yeah...gotta remember though, *she* didn't know he was having second thoughts...she just saw him heading for her throat... thanx for the review |

| lol...sorry bout that...as sorry as i ever am |
| |
| deedo | The Conflict | 03/24/2006 08:01 pm |
that was just mean, although I guess after his little "I’ll drop mine, if you’ll drop yours." lie they're pretty much even now
for a moment I thought Buffy'd truly lost, but then where would be the fun for her inner slayer to "tame" her vampire 
so I'm patiently waiting for you to update soon ^_^ |
| uh...yeah...he kinda deserved it...good point though as far as her losing though...she can't *completely* lose or, in my opinion, it kind of goes against the challenge... maybe it's just the way i'm reading the challenge...i don't know...anyway, thanx for review |
| |

| Oh kick her arse, Spike. Please. She is over confident, cocky, and way too bitchy. She thinks she has this all wrapped up. I want to see Spike put Buffy in her plcae ... at his feet. |
| i agree, she is all of the above...lol...no promises as to what's gonna happen though :\ thanx for the review |

| Richard | The Challenge | 03/23/2006 10:47 pm |
Ahh, yes. That backwards, primitive throwback attitude so common in troglodytes and petty fascists. This would be Xander's egregious violation of common human decency in "protecting" his "tribe" against attacks by an "outsider". Beating on the helpless in defense of a Slayer!
And that doesn't even go into Xander's quite disgusting lack of empathy and sympathy for Anya, his nominal girlfriend but in reality cheap whore.
I salute your sharp acumen and insight. Most fans of the show prefer the head in sand option. They don't want to think S6 wasn't an anomaly but that every season is ugly in its own inimitable way. BTVS is about pretty ugliness, like those beautiful photos of stark poverty. |
| i agree, xander's bigotry always bothered me very much, especially in the way it affected his treatment of his girlfriend/fiance...and throughout the whole show there was a gradual opening of buffy's eyes...never really completed...to the idea that her black and white (bigoted) views were maybe not quite accurate... here, her treatment of spike is disturbing...but make no mistake that it is *intended* to be...thanx for a thoughtful review |
| |
| slinkypsychokit | The Challenge | 03/23/2006 09:47 pm |
“Yes, Slayer,” he said softly with a cold smirk. “I accept.”

I can't wait for Spike to get his own back - I hated how the Scoobies humiliated him once they realized that he couldn't fight back. Grrr.
**Please let Spike win** |

ooo lovely! You know, remembering how nasty a tease Buffy was in S4 to Spike (and how cruel she was after Something Blue) I rather like Spike getting in some damage.
Looking forward to the next installment of this gem of a story.

| MarzBar | Preparations | 03/22/2006 01:54 am |
| Difficult to see this bit of insanity going well for Buffy or Spike. Can she actually dominate a male to the point of rape? She would need lots of experience and cold bloodedness to do that. Spike has surely experienced this sort of humiliation from Angelus already. More story please. |
| you've got to remember also that according to the challenge , buffy has a bit more on her side than that; she is the Slayer, with a primal force behind her that she really doesn't understand yet at this point, but that would certainly not take well to being dominated by a vamp...when it gets right down to it, her primal Slayer will come out |
| |
| SpaceLord | Preparations | 03/22/2006 01:39 am |
| Hmm I'm hoping for a draw sort of thing. I mean Buffys inner slayer and Spikes demon recognising their equal and match in each other and just deciding to mate ;) |
| that could be a good solution... you'll just have to wait and see what happens |

I can't wait for the fight
Someone should remind Buffy of the saying "pride cometh before the fall" - Spike isn't "The Slayer of Slayers" for nothing.
Yeah neither of them have really beaten each other before, but one of them has always gotten distracted by something or one of them ran off before the battle was over. Quite frankly, Buffy's mainly survived by luck so far, Spike was about two seconds from biting Buffy before Joyce whacked him upside the head with that axe and Spike would have bitten Buffy in Out of My Mind if it hadn't been for the chip |
| i will just say this...its not gonna be what she expects...but its not gonna be exactly what he would hope for either... i agree, luck has saved buffy more than once |
| |
| Richard | Preparations | 03/21/2006 10:29 pm |
Tried to kill them? That's a laugh. If Spike held grudges against Buffy, he'd have her tortured to death.
Buffy is responsible for Angelus (thus Dru) and Spike's broken back. The "it was an accident" excuse doesn't wash. Come on, it's a curse! Can you say desecrated?
When you look at everything that happened, Spike is a downright forgiving type. Makes Buffy look like a nasty bitch that she can't forgive his (mutual) attempts to kill her, which were just par for the course anyways.
Sorry I had to rant. You write Buffy very well and it turns out she isn't a very nice person. |
| yeah, IMHO, they are about even in the fighting realm, but buffy has done a lot more damage to spike than he has to her...of course that's not for lack of him trying...mostly...it's because its her show lol... i agree though, for much of the show, buffy was not a very nice person at all |

| This Buffy is doing my head in. She was always self-involved but she's gone too far now. Poor Spike can't win. And wasn't the whole mess Giles' idea in the first place? |

| There is a definite nastiness to Buffy’s thoughts and actions, her self involvement and lack of concern for others is taken to a new level with this idea from Giles. And poor Anya, Buffy doesn’t even hear her comment about Xander. Hope you’re able to update soon. |
| i agree...she's not even really thinking about spike in all this...just the effect it will all have on *her*...and poor anya, so ignored and insecure..thanx for review |

Poor Anya! I can't believe that Buffy missed what she had said about Xander letting her sleep with Spike before Buffy. I really wish that Xander would have treated her better than he did in the show!
I can't wait to see what pointers Anya gives Buffy to "dominate" Spike! Then again, I have a few ideas myself, lol! |

| |
| SpaceLord | The Plan | 03/20/2006 08:08 pm |
Hmm I don't know if my meomory of the fights between Buffy and Spike on the show are fucked but to me it seems that up to this point in the Canon there would be a tie in fights between them.
Hell I might even be inclined to say that Spike is ahead on points. He had a clear kill during their first fight but was interupted by Joyce. The church fight wasn't really a 1 on 1 fight but to me it was a draw with Buffy getting a "cheap shot" in on Spike as he was getting Dru out of there. Buffy won the fight with the gem of amara ofcourse, maybe Spike was just a little too cocky with it but he got away on his own so not really a clear victory for her.
I would say that it would be a 50/50 chance of Spike winning at least. It is the problem of judging a characters skill against another when all we have to go are their fights on show of which are made to fit the drama and not their skills really. The most obvious example of that is the discussion of skill of the jedi/sith in Star Wars Ep III, where Obi-Wan beats Anakin/Vader but gets thrashed by Count Dooku who in turn gets offed easily by Anakin. The same kind of argument can be made here and no real good answear can be found but I hate it when Buffy comes across as a sure thing over Spike cause that is not how I would interpret the things I see on the show. You also have the fight in season 5 when Spike thinks he's got the chip out, he's got a clear kill there too but the chip stops him.
All this is ofcourse made to make it dramatic and move the story forward but still to me Spike is just as good as Buffy. I mean the guy killed 2 slayers and I'm not sure about the whole 1 good day crap either. Once could be fluke but 2 then you are just good. |
don't get me wrong...i agree...spike won at least as often as he lost to buffy...most of their fights came out fairly even, actually...no clear winner...but buffy sees them as wins, and anya has heard the stories from buffy, hasn't she?? thanx for the thoughtful review...again, i don't agree with every thing the characters i write say or do thanx again

| I just hope that Buffy really does understand what she is getting into. I don't know if Spike is really going to go through with this. Love Anya... She is such hoot!! |
| lol...we'll see...as for buffy...no, she doesn't have a clue |
| |
| Richard | The Plan | 03/20/2006 07:28 pm |
Well, I was thinking that it would be great fun for Buffy to fail and have to go back to Anya for pointers. Repeatedly. But the whole thing is squicking me out more and more.
See, no matter what platitudes Anya says, it IS rape. It's mind rape. Buffy is planning to completely rape Spike's mind and personality.
The only thing that can ever make me okay with this story is if the little bitch has the tables turned on her and she gets the violation she would inflict on another. Then it would be self-defense and also just desserts.
Either way, I think I should be pissed that this story doesn't have a rape / torture warning. Because it should. |
to be honest...at this point it's kind of supposed to...
just because i'm writing a character's actions does not mean i agree with them, and i don't agree with buffy's actions here... but i do think they are typical of her and the scoobies at this point in the show, seeing spike not as a person but as a thing to be "dealt with" rather than a person to be helped toward the right path...
But that does NOT mean that i support that attitude!
and if and when a rape or torture warning is needed, i will apply it, thank you |

| buffy rationalizing has hit an all time low, even by the standards of the morally bankrupt scoobies. thanks for the read,enjoyed it. |
| i agree, her rationalization sucks, really...but i think it's typical for her character at this point |

Bwahahahaha LOVE this. Funny, the whole dominance ritual /vampire lore part is ours (fans) made up but it FITS canon so well. I think of Smashed and it is pretty much what you had Anya describe. Spike and Buffy fighting for the upper hand and sex being the victors spoil. Spike, of course had already submitted to Buffy emotionally onscreen but after he SOOOO fit the "results" you give for it here. Spike's onscreen responses to Angel/us fit the imagined dominance that must have taken place when Spike was a fledge.
Again....excellent!!! Just keep the stories coming. I love having good stories to read while I play hooky from my own story (or as my muse is off getting some nookie and ignoring my orders he get to work!).

*eyes wide* alrighty then...lol
kinda scared of Buffy....backing away slowly *grin*
great update! things like this have a way of blowing up in their faces...can't wait to see how! |
| lol...you're so right...the only thing certain is this *won't* go exactly as they plan!! |
| |
| Jackofspikes | The Plan | 03/20/2006 06:36 pm |
brilliant as usual...I love the little bit where Anya showed her unhappiness at Xander's concerns over Buffy...Its a bit sad that Buffy didn't notice it...can you say self-involved! lol
More Please |
| wasn't she always?? at this point in my story i want it to be noticed that buffy's self-involved...more concerned about how this whole thing effects *her* than anyone else...but that will change as the story progresses |
| |
| redwulf50 | The Plan | 03/20/2006 06:36 pm |
She would make his first “go” with her one to remember!
LOL yeah Buffy but I'm thinking you will seriously want a second go as well. |
| lol...i'm thinking you're right ;) lol |

| Dani | The Plan | 03/20/2006 06:32 pm |
| Personally, I wanna see Spike beat Buffy and have her being the one who has to do whatever Spike says - I know, I'm evil, but that would be soo great |
| lol...can't say exactly what will happen...but it will be different than buffy expects... |
| |

| oh yes, there will definitely be dominatrix buffy... lol...most likely in the next update |
| |
| ~*~Tasha~*~ | The Solution? | 03/20/2006 08:15 pm |
| Love Anya with the insight. I have to chuckle that Giles is so naive that he wouldn't realize that sex and violence go hand in hand for vampires. Dominance means dominance in all ways. Loved the update. |
| lol...you're so right, but isn't that kind of typical for him? glad you liked it |
| |
| Robyn | The Solution? | 03/20/2006 02:33 am |
| Great chapter I loved how Buffy finally realized that Anya might know something about demon rituals. How like Giles to know about the ritual but not necessarily know all the pertinent facts, or at least realize what they mean. |
| yeah, they should have all realized that a long time ago, that anya knew a lot more than they gave her credit for thanx for the review |

| I can see why Anya wanted to tell Buffy privately! The guys would have had a cow and if Spike overheard he would have had a field day taunting Buffy! I can't wait to see if Buffy tells the others and if she actually goes thru with it! |
| oh yeah...giles and xander would have absolutely freaked out, and poor anya gets yelled at enough for her mouth...thanx for the review |

| lol...yeah it would have been awesome!! thanx for the review, so glad you like it so far! |
| |
| MarzBar | The Solution? | 03/19/2006 03:27 pm |
| Hmmmm. If I was capable, I would be willing to do the dominance for her and keep him with me. Teeheehee. Giles is pretty ignorant isn't he? |
| lol...so would i... yeah, giles is a little dense about things of this nature sometimes |
| |

| Bridget | The Solution? | 03/19/2006 12:01 pm |
| Well that is not surprising. It is amazing how dumb the scoobies really are. I don't know why they could not just treat Spike like a person then dominance would not be necessary. |
| there's a novel thought ... but you must remember that at this point he had given them no reason to think that he would do anything but try to kill them all the first chance he got ... thanx for review ;) |

| Good point about Buffy being a sexual neophyte. Will Anya be coaching her in the basics of BDSM? :p :p |
| lol...could happen... |
| |
| Richard | The Solution? | 03/19/2006 02:15 am |
| Now why would Anyanka be reticent to talk about sex? Though obviously there's a lot more to it than that. I am eager to learn. |
| yes, there is a lot more to it than that more explanation next chapter |

Hmmm....I can't see how Buffy would be able to dominate Spike sexually. Not with her limited experience in the subject, to me she's just too insecure about that stuff at this point in the timeline. In season 6 sure because then she was in a completly different place but in early season 4 after Parker, I just don't see that side of her to be honest. I'm actually more seeing that it would turn the other way, Spike having been around for a hundred years and not in love with the slayer yet would probably have an easier time dominating her. Or maybe it could be a tie
That would sure make things interesting. |
| you'll have to wait and see how it turns out...you're totally right about buffy's personality at that time...of course there's always her primal "inner Slayer" to consider, according to the challenge ;) thanx for the review |

“What *is* that heavenly fragrance you’re wearing, Slayer? Let me guess…essence of – ‘I-deperately-need-a-shag’?” That is one of the best freaking lines, ever!!!! Bwahahaahaa, I can totally see Spike snarking this line to Buffy on the show, too. Man, great intro!! Can't wait for more!!
