Go get your man Buffy... I am just glad that he is willing to give her time and teach her. And it would seem as if the group is coming together nicely. Alexa was there to help her. I just love the innocence of her after she was finished and asked if she did it ok?? Great story.
Oracleholly09/29/2005 06:31 pm
Yippee!!! Hot Spuffy lovin'! Yahoo! **does happy dance** You've made my insomnia very happy.
Esther09/29/2005 06:30 pm
How can anyone hate you when you reward us with such a steamy chapter? HOT DAMN!!! I'm still drooling...great update...more...soon? Please?
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:30 pm
Adored this chapter. This was a nice lesson for the two of them. I enjoy seeing them get closer together in a natural progression. You write them very well. I'm worried about what exactly the tape Angelus sent to the Scoobies showed. They aren't going to understand what she had to do ... I will hope that maybe the will understand and see that Angelus forced her. I hope they don't try to kill Buffy and Spike. Look forward to the next update. I loved the intimate scene here too, and Spike letting her be on top was a good thing in my book. He was trying to show that she can have control in the bedroom, and it doesn't have to be all about the Sire. I liked that.
Opal09/29/2005 06:29 pm
Naughty Naughty leaving Mistress Opal hanging for nummy goodness of Spike! ** opal hides remembering she is not the nice little goth club she went to saturday night** **polite opal** Wonder update Comedy, great visualization with your final scene between Buffy and Spike. I am very much looking forward to your next update.
Rhonda09/29/2005 06:29 pm
love it. I wonder what Spike is going to do now that he knows what is going on to wake him. And how great is it that Angel can't find them. I just feel bad that they have a video of her. Great update
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:29 pm
Definitely enjoying ... please update again soon. Angelus is such a jerk for sending a videotape of what he forced on Buffy to Joyce and all. I hope that SPike and Buffy are able to explain it or something. I hate to think of Joyce hating her daughter that much when Buffy did everything she could to be strong and save people even as a vampire.
GoldenBuffy09/29/2005 06:28 pm
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! U stopped there... evil,lol. I really liked this chappie, very cute. "He was kind of like the Wile E. Coyote of vampires, only his plans actually worked." I'm happy I wasn't drinking because that was just way to funny. And I got a visual of Spike on that black pathed road in the cartoon with the roadrunner saying "meep" "meep" then sticking his tonguw out at Spike LMAO!!!!
Tam09/29/2005 06:28 pm
UGH!! you are EVILLLLLLLL LMAO
Esther09/29/2005 06:27 pm
Oh my...I bow at your feet, begging for more...please...don't stop there...
Oracleholly09/29/2005 06:27 pm
You wicked, wicked woman! Leaving the story like that. Got me & Spike all worked up and then ***** a big ol' cliffhanger. **pouting** the next chapter better be forthcoming like soon!
Slaymesoftly09/29/2005 06:27 pm
The next chapter better be on its way, or you are in biiiiig trouble! LOL this was great, funny and sweet.
Karyn09/29/2005 06:26 pm
damn! ...just damn! lol you are so evil...i love it!
Pyrochilde09/29/2005 06:26 pm
Great chapter!! I can't wait to see how this little group interacts especially Buffy and the minions. I like Alexa Poor Xander, I hope he gets better soon and I'm glad Giles realizes that Willow needs to learn some control before she gets out of hand like in the show. The last thing anyone needs in a magick addicted Willow. Can't wait for the next update!!
Burnz09/29/2005 06:25 pm
Poor Xander. I wonder where Angelus is. It is good to see Buffy adjusting. Good chapter
Rae09/29/2005 06:25 pm
I finally got a chance to read the start of this fic today. It is fantastic and i can't wait for an update.
Jessica09/29/2005 06:25 pm
I love it keep it up your are a grate writer latter
Tam09/29/2005 06:24 pm
excellent update! so loving the dynamics of this story poor xander i honestly think this is the first time anyone has written his parents in a positive light and it was all so well done!
Esther09/29/2005 06:24 pm
Ok, I can't believe I'm gonna say this but, poor Xander!!! I don't hate him in your story, and I'm sooo sorry for what happened to him. Man, that just stinks for him, but at least his mom is there for him...his father...blech. The Scoobs are a tough bunch, and I'm glad that they're sticking together so well. Poor Cordy, I hope she still stays with Xander after this. You can tell she loves him, and that's what counts. Spike and Buffy...what can I say? I LOVE THEM!! Buffy's acceptance is spot on, and I'm really glad that she's with Spike now. Introducing the others to her was fab, and I'm glad that they will be having a close familial relationship. Still worried about Angelus, and I hope that he gets his comeuppance by both Spike and Buffy. Great job!!!
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:24 pm
I loved this update. Nice to see Buffy settling in. Ouchie on Xander's injuries. Yikes! Scary that Angelus is still out there looking. I was touched by Buffy's caring and concern when she realized that Drusilla was dust. She has a lot to learn about being a vampire, but she seems willing now that she has the right teacher. Her various realizations in her own mind were excellent. I look forward to the next update eagerly.
Opal09/29/2005 06:23 pm
Love how you worked the Yoda comment in! Nice update.
Steph09/29/2005 06:23 pm
Damn, I wish I had minions..then maybe they'd clean my house....
Rhonda09/29/2005 06:23 pm
Well it is good to see the new "family" making it. And by that I mean both sets. Giles and compay along with Spike and Buffy's group. WOnder what Angel will try to do first?? Can't wait to find out.
Slaymesoftly09/29/2005 06:22 pm
Had two chapters to catch up with. Still loving it. Poor Xander! But so nice to see him be a hero for a change!
GoldenBuffy09/29/2005 06:22 pm
Excellent cahppie!!!! Can't wait for more.
Steph09/29/2005 06:21 pm
This story is so cool...great writing!
Spike_spetslayer09/29/2005 06:21 pm
Very, very good fic--I love how sensitive and tender Spike is with Buffy. Awesome! Please, write more soon!
demonica mills09/29/2005 06:21 pm
Wow! This story is amazing. I've read this storyline before, but yours is by far the most original and intriguing. I love that you have Joyce helping out, and Willow's discovering of her magic skills. I'm anxious to find out if Xander is okay, and to see what happens next between Spike and Buffy. Keep up the good work, and I look foward to reading your next chapter
Opal09/29/2005 06:20 pm
Great update, I like that Spike showed restraint with his arousal to Buffy, it fits in very well with the story line.
bloodshedbaby09/29/2005 06:20 pm
Testing the review form... Oh, and this fic freakin' ROCKS!
GoldenBuffy09/29/2005 06:19 pm
Awww, I loved how Spike was acting all sweet to his new childe. That was so great, I can see he and Buffy are going to havve a great relationship *I hope* Ca't wait till you write more.
~*~Tahsa~*~09/29/2005 06:19 pm
FABULOUS chapter. {beams} This was a nice awakening for Buffy or rather reawakening. It is like a renewal to her. She has a new Sire, new teachings, and a tender touch has replaced the cruelty of Angelus. I enjoyed all of their intereaction. Spike is really trying to think of her needs. I like how you handled Spike's feelings on Dru's dusting. Nicely done. I look forward to the next update.
Erin09/29/2005 06:19 pm
Excellent chapter! This fic is awesome. More soon please.
Burnz09/29/2005 06:18 pm
It's nice to see Buffy progressing nicely. I wonder what Angelus will do next!
Tam09/29/2005 06:18 pm
hot damn am i glad i got caught up on this one! incredible fic! two thumbs way the heck up!
Esther09/29/2005 06:17 pm
Hot dog...that was freaking awesome!!! I knew the end of Angelus couldn't have been that quickly, but I wasn't expecting Dru to be killed so soon....especially by Joyce, so that just ROCKED!!! Go Joyce!!! I totally loved the action, drama, and the end....more soon?!!!
Opal09/29/2005 06:17 pm
Wondeful Update! Buffy woke up warm...you must have a little trick up your sleeve. Great Job!
Slaymesoftly09/29/2005 06:17 pm
This was another wonderful addition. Love the damage-bound Scoobies, including Joyce. Poor Xander! Nice to have a story in which he gets to be a hero. More soon, please!
Steph09/29/2005 06:16 pm
So can't wait for more interaction with buffy and spike....very good!
Burnz09/29/2005 06:16 pm
The anger! The mayhem! Even Joyce kicking butt! I liked it.
GoldenBuffy09/29/2005 06:16 pm
Great action, I really loved this chappie!!! Can't wait till you write more. ;)
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:15 pm
{bounces in her seat} Dru is gone ... Angelus is pissed ... Buffy woke up in Spike's arms. Sounds good to me. I like how Buffy woke up. The fact that Joyce dusted Drusilla was poetic. I wonder how Spike felt when he felt Dru dust? he knew the Scoobies were coming to the mansion. I wonder where Angelus is hold up with his minions. They aren't going to find the Desoto where Spike is. He's too smart for that. {grins} I can't wait for the next update.
Rhonda09/29/2005 06:15 pm
Great update. I just hope that all of the work they put into getting the house will keep Angelous at bay for a while. he is going to be on a war path when he finds out Dru is dust. GLad to see the group working together. Hope Xander is going to be just fine. Scary Willow... all of this in one chatper. Can't wait for more.
desertrose09/29/2005 06:15 pm
Wow! What a tale! There is so much to the whole thing. Amazing job.
Steph09/29/2005 06:14 pm
That has to be one of the scariest chapters I've read.....yikes.....I hope Angelus death is just as grusome, bastard.
Judy09/29/2005 06:14 pm
Great story. Can't wait for the next update. Just make sure Spike and Buffy really hurt Angel and Dru, lots.
vladt09/29/2005 06:13 pm
dark,brutal, bloody and loving. very difficult mix to care off. great job. thanks
Oracleholly09/29/2005 06:13 pm
Great update hon! That torture, rape & mayhem was quite descriptive - so glad that Buffy didn't succumb. Nice how Spike didn't drink from that boy. The renouncing of the Sire claim on Buffy - I'm not I've read of that before - where the marks open at the power of the words, but very powerful imagery. I love how Spike has now 'sired' Buffy & that they group have left for their new home. Looking forward to your next update. P.S. I'm so glad you are delighted with the banner.
sue09/29/2005 06:13 pm
an excellent story - blood-curdling, but becoming heart-warming ....
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:12 pm
That had to be a hard as hell chapter to write. Wow. You stated from the beginning that this would be a dark fiction with plenty of warnings. I actually feel bad for you writing it too. That had to be pretty gut wrenching. Content completely aside ... you wrote this chapter very well. I was happy to see Spike claim the "orphan" Buffy for his Childe now. Hopefully the two of them can heal together now. I look towards your next update.
Burnz09/29/2005 06:12 pm
Sweet ending to a horrific night. I look forward to your updates.
s.p. hudson09/29/2005 06:11 pm
Oh, thank God they finally got away from the mansion!! I just don't think I can take anymore like that. Can there now be extreme pain, humiliation, slow, excruciating torture that lasts for years before finally getting bored and diembowling Angelus before dusting him? I'm thinking the same treatment of Dru is in order!
romero09/29/2005 06:11 pm
Great update. Can't wait to see Spike and Buffy relate as sire and childe.
GoldenBuffy09/29/2005 06:11 pm
That was so sweet how she reconized that he wanted her *sigh* Oooo I hope Angelus gets his, eventhough I like Angelus but still,lol.
GoldenBuffy09/29/2005 06:11 pm
WOW, I really like this story. Dark and intresting, can't wait for your next update.
Opal09/29/2005 06:10 pm
Great update! They're almost free...I can't wait.
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:09 pm
Ugh ... so close ... so close ... please update again soon. {whimpers} Need to get Buffy out of there. Need to keep her from being dusted by Angelus or the Scoobies. {whimpers again} Please update soon.
Oracleholly09/29/2005 06:09 pm
Thank you for updating - damn that chain! but Go Buffy for the lamp bashing.
Burnz09/29/2005 06:08 pm
Dang! So close but yet so far! I really feel sorry for her and I wonder what Spike has in mind for her.
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:07 pm
Oh boy ... Angelus is such a sadistic bastard. Good chapter update. You are really writing this type of fiction well. Looks like plans are moving along for Spike and such. I hope that they can get Buffy out of there before Angelus dusts her tonight or the next night. Please update again soon.
Aisling09/29/2005 06:07 pm
luved the update huni/... cant wait till Angelus gets his! *evil grin* cya huni xxx.
Burnz09/29/2005 06:06 pm
That was a horrid little scene for Buffy and Spike. I anxiously await the time that Angelus gets his butt kicked and Dru gets locked in a closet somewhere.
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:06 pm
Angelus is just moving right along with his day to day plan. Nice to see Joyce getting all trained up. I just hope taht Spike can protect Buffy from being dusted by her friends.
Erin09/29/2005 06:06 pm
Excellent chapter! More soon please.
Bloodshedbaby09/29/2005 06:05 pm
Oh wow! This chapter was intense! But god, I just loved the small bit of comfort Spike was able to give Buffy. I love the little 'family' you are creating here. PLEASE update soon!!!
s.p. hudson09/29/2005 06:05 pm
He's such a bastard! Here's hoping Buffy finds a way out of the chains soon! More, soon. Please?
Aisling09/29/2005 06:05 pm
more soon please... damn those chains i was hoping she'd escape right to Spike LOL more soon huni cant wait xx
Burnz09/29/2005 06:04 pm
What an evil twisted thing Angelus is. Very accurate. ;)
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:04 pm
Still moving along strong. Look forward to the next chapter.
bubble_blunder09/29/2005 06:03 pm
I love it! I can't wait to see the next update! It's so dark and cold that it's scary, but I loved reading it, and I could really see it playing out in my mind. It seems so un-forced. Keep up the great work! And please update soon!
Burnz09/29/2005 06:03 pm
Good fic. I am interested to see where you will take the three camps Giles/Spike/Angelus, and what that will mean for Buffy.
s.p. hudson09/29/2005 06:02 pm
Dark. Sinister. Chilling to the point where you're almost afraid to keep going. Damn good update! Keep up the good job!
Aisling09/29/2005 06:02 pm
awww... i hope she goes with Spike soon cya huni xxx
~*~Tasha~*~09/29/2005 06:01 pm
Definitely a dark tale. You have all the proper warnings though. So no one can blame you when they read it. I know that I personally watch to see what my mood is before I read. I know it will be dark, rape like, abusive, etc. So, I make sure I can handle it. That being said, you are writing it very well. You are capturing the essence and characterization of what these things would be IRL. I truly hope that you are not being able to pull from experience to write this. Pain and pleasure can go together for some people, but abuse and rape are a whole nother deal. Buffy isn't willing here. That makes it abuse and rape. If she was willing, that would be different. In any case, you are a talented writer, and you are tackling some very hard topics. I also enjoy the sidebar with Spike and his 4 loyal minions. I hope that Buffy does fight Angelus within herself and lures him into a false sense of dominance. I hope that Buffy and Spike end up together. I guess we all just have to wait and see what you have for us next.
romero09/29/2005 06:00 pm
I love it! Please update soon.
pip09/29/2005 06:00 pm
wow, really dark story. I love it! update soon!!!
Aisling09/29/2005 05:59 pm
wow! great update.. oh poor Buffy!
s.p. hudson09/29/2005 05:59 pm
Very nicely written. Just the right balance of fear and grief in Giles', Joyce's and the Scoobies reactions to the situation. Dawning horror for Buffy in the knowledge of what she has now become. Well crafted sense of foreboding for what may happen next. Wonderful update!
Aisling09/29/2005 05:58 pm
oooh! i likey, i lovey more soon cya xx
s.p. hudson09/29/2005 05:58 pm
Splendid beginning. You've definitely nailed the character of Angelus in all his sadistic glory. Can't wait to see where you're going with this.
Oracleholly09/29/2005 05:57 pm
In the immortal words of Oliver Twist: "Please sir, I want some more." (and soon might I add). This is wonderfully, deliciously dark! Thank you for submitting this treat.
3988Akasha09/29/2005 05:57 pm
Damn! Totally lovin' this fic. It's way dark. I really want to see Angelus get his, cocky bastard! Update soon!
Jen09/29/2005 05:56 pm
Sounds good so far! I hope there is spuffy romance and buffy/giles friendship
