Ah, brilliant! Wonderful fic! I love vampires a lot more than humans, I love Spike and Buffy together and I love Angelus and Darla together, I love Vamp Willow and I simply adore the "I hate you but I'll kill anyone who touches you" conection between Spike and Angelus. I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of our gorgeous Dru but it was still perfect! I adore your Vamp world, the vamps-Inittintive war and The Circle. Slavery fics are just a week spot of mine and I couldn't resist this-good thing I didn't! Thank you for the fabulous read!

Very Neat story - it is pretty difficult to pull off a Slayer-Spike Vamp tale - yours works.

"Silently, Spike cursed whatever god seemed to want to keep him from being laid." *chuckles* I loved this *chuckles again*
I loved every single chapter of this story (though I've been following in SR and I'm glad I noticed the update here, cuz there wasn't one there:P) And I know I'm greedy, but I'd looooove a sequel! LOL!!!

Thank you for this great story!!!

Chapter 25         
hey, loved hte story very much :)
I thought they would never get out of the Circle for a moment there :P
And then Darla and Angelus; I thought with Angel back with the "us", Spike and Buffy would have a harder time getting away.
Reading the last three chapters, I could see the possibility for a sequel.
Obviously, you're the writer and your's the muse; so I can only hope for a second act of this story ;-)
Until your next story.
Hugs,

I'm glad Spike put himself out there since Buffy clearly has a lot of insecurities. It's probably also a good thing they got away from Angelus.

I'm glad they got out of town. Spike really is good for her self-esteem. Buffy shouldn't hide from life, and he's the most alive dead guy you'll ever find.

AHA protective Spike!

Giggled myself silly with Spike's thoughts about the cables and where to apply them (not to mention the remarks about brain size that in canon were always addressed to Spike).

Happy to see an update! Still loving this.

Dun-dun-dunnnn...He's baaaaack.

Buffy can take care of herself in a fight, but Spike's right to worry about Angelus' more trecherous methods. And it's sweet that he's so worried. :)

so far, so good. hope it is as easy as they planned. hope after a month xander is chipped, be fun to see how he likes it. very good read, thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it. And yes, the rescue went off pretty much as planned.

05/19/2007 04:21 pm
The Initiative         
Always like the pairing of Vamp Willow and Vamp Xander! Good to see Buffy using her head since she is smarter than she thinks she is.
Thanks. Glad to see you enjoyed the vamp version of the Scoobies, I think they're a lot of fun too. And yes, Buffy is more capable than she's aware, she just needed the right motivation.

Cas

The Initiative         
O. I hope Xander is chipped so he can see what fun it is. Wonder has he spent his entire vampire existence in the iniative, and if so, were they the reason he got vamped in the first place? Just suspicious I guess. Great twist.
Xander was only there for maybe the last month or so, but figure he's been a vampire for a couple years.

05/18/2007 12:18 am
The Initiative         
wow buffy *did* come up with a good plan :) great chapter, so sweet how glad spike was to see her....excellent chapter, very much looking forward to more :)
Thank you. Buffy has some good planning in her from time to time. And I think Spike would have been glad to see anyone, but the fact that it was Buffy made his rescue even better.

I really am enjoying this story and love to see updates! This one was good. Xan and Willow vamped is interesting. The hellmouth went to hell without Buffy!
Thanks, glad you liked it. And yeah, Sunnydale hasn't faired so well these last few years.

05/17/2007 01:44 pm
The Initiative         
Awesome! An update! I love this story! [br]I was hoping for a bit more carnage though during the escape route...especially if you're going to involve that Walsh hooker :grr:. But eh...I guess you can't win 'em all huh?[/br] I hope you can update soon!!!
Sorry there wasn't more carnage described, I assure you it happened though, if that makes you feel any better. And thanks. There's another update up now.

YAY!!!

Xander's a prick.

05/17/2007 10:29 am
The Initiative         
Cool action from Buffy to the rescue! I wonder who sired Xander.
Thanks. I always figured it was Willow. The Master turned her, and she still had her crush on Xander at that point, so to prove to him that she was worth noticing she sired him.

05/17/2007 09:01 am
The Initiative         
Awww, they saved Spike.... why'd they have to save Xander tho? ew lol

*shakes finger at you* Don't you dare my Angelus and Darla likeable! *pouts*
Hehe. You've discovered my secret mission, to spread the Angelus Darla love. ;)

oh i hope they get there before the initiative manages to do anything to spike :( great chapter, love, i'm glad spike's family is concerned for him...can't wait to see more ;)
Thanks. Glad you like his family coming to his rescue.

Hee hee hee....it's so funny seeing Buffy like this with the Aurelius gang...great stuff. And she's having to grow up right now. I hope they're in time! Those Initiative types can be damn fast about their damage.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying it. And yeah, Buffy's finally starting to grow up and take responsibility for things.

04/29/2007 01:16 am
Plan B         
Wow Buffy actually listening to Spike -- I like it. And it's a big step for Buffy to ally herself with the vampires. Neat chapter.
Thanks. And this Buffy's been living around demons for a few years, so it's not the kind of big step it would be for the Buffy on the show.

04/28/2007 10:20 pm
Plan B         
woo. Go Buffy with remembering to get backup. Though it's interesting to see Spike's family actually rallying around to help him for once.
Glad you're enjoying it. And I think that Spike's family must have taken care of him when he was a fledge, otherwise how would he have survived? I always assumed that in the mine scene in FFL, Angelus had just pulled Spike out of a fight he probably wasn't going to win. After all that was right after Spike was turned, so how many fights could he have ever been in? Probably not many, and a mob can be tough even for a vampire to fight.

04/28/2007 09:23 pm
Plan B         
Oh, the irony!
Hehe, thanks. It is ironic, I think that's why Angelus admited to liking Spike's plan in the previous chapter.

04/28/2007 09:21 pm
Plan B         
love buffy's attitude. excellent read, thank you.
Thans. It is a lot of fun, so I'm glad you're enjoying it.

04/28/2007 09:19 pm
Plan B         
GO Buffy! What an interesting turn in this universe....Buffy seeing the evil that is the Initiative because she doesn't have that inborn prejudice of human = good, demon = bad. Even not liking Angelus, Darla and Willow she can see the differences and the morality for that matter. Excellent.

KAthleen
Thank you. And yeah, Buffy's perspective on morality in this reality is a lot of fun. I'm glad your enjoying this twist of events.

04/28/2007 08:15 pm
Plan B         
How odd, to see her on the other side. Strangely satisfying, too. Loving this story, many wonderful twists and turns.
Thank you so much. I think it's a lot of fun to write a Buffy who isn't so sure of right and wrong. Actually this has gotten me wondering what Buffy on the show would have done if it hadn't been for Adam. Obviously he needed to be stopped, but how long would she have let the Initiative gone on?

SpaceLord
04/28/2007 06:55 pm
Plan B         
Just love that last part....and never harm another vampire again.....can you imagine something like that coming out of Buffy's mouth on the show? Just cracks me up.
Thanks, I'm glad you found that funny. I've really loved writing a Buffy who identifies with demons and sees them as people too. Of course Sunnydale never did seem to get the nice ordinary demons that lived in LA.

"I'm not letting those bastards torture Spike. That's my job."

- lol. That is so Angelus.

Great chapter. lets hope they save Spike before they chip him.
Thanks. Yes, Angelus is very territorial, and I'm a secret Spangle shipper so I couldn't have Angelus stand by and let someone else hurt his boy.

04/25/2007 09:19 pm
The Runaway         
Damn, not him too? They have to go in before they implant him too, I just hate a chipped Spike who can't defend himself. I hope Buffy can remember in time. Thanks for all the updates, I love this story.
Thanks so much. If it makes you feel any better, remember that the cannon Inititive only ever chipped one vampire. They use the rest of them in other experiments. If that makes you feel better. . .

04/25/2007 02:53 am
The Runaway         
excellent read,thank you. loved darla putting angelus in his place. lovely chapter ending, if you like evil. seems spike is in deep.... and buffy is not suppose to remember.
Thank you so much. And if you haven't realized by now, I like evil very much ;) And I'm glad you liked Angelus and Darla.

cas
04/24/2007 01:07 am
The Runaway         
Well, at least it looks like they'll only take SPike, and not Buffy too. Hopefully she has the wit and loyalty to go back and tell Angelus/Darla what happened. Wonder if chipped Spike will be next?
Yeah, the Inititive thinks it's saving Buffy (as if she needs saving) so she'll be able to try and help Spike. And if she wasn't witty and loyal she just wouldn't be Buffy ;)

04/23/2007 11:15 pm
The Runaway         
Yikes -- that was unexpected! Spike back to square one?
Well, Spike's not in a good place, that's for sure. Thanks for the review.

04/23/2007 11:02 pm
The Runaway         
Oh crap now they have to deal with the Initiative boys too. Like they didn't have enough on their plates. How much am I wishing they could have just taken off and left everyone else to sort out their own mess. I'm really hoping someone rescues them before anything too bad happens.
Yes, Buffy and Spike do have a lot of troubles, most of them though are of their own making, so it maybe best for them to have an outside force interfere.

04/23/2007 03:39 pm
The Runaway         
There goes Spike, and with no smitten Riley for Buffy to use to infiltrate the Initiative. Let's see how well this goes.
True, they don't have a smitten Riley, but they did have a turncoat Riley giving them lots of information (at least until Angelus dusted him) so they're not totally in the dark.

Deb
04/23/2007 01:06 pm
The Runaway         
Scary scenario for our duo. I like your Spike. Hope that you don't have plans to weaken him at all. Morally ambiguous Buffy is an interesting twist and makes the story interesting. Have fun writing.
Thanks. I'm sure the Initiative has all kind of bad plans for Spike, but with any luck Buffy won't give them time to carry them out. And I'm glad you like my Buffy. For some reason I seem to love messing with her past.

04/23/2007 10:53 am
The Runaway         
Oh oh! Looking bad for Spike....I just know Buffy will come to his aid though.

Nice scene between he and Buffy but LOVED Darla's reaction to Angelus' arrogance LOL. So visual!!! So in character too.

Kathleen
Thanks. And yeah, deep down even this Buffy's got that hero bug. She wouldn't be Buffy without it.

And I'm especialy glad you found Darla and Angelus' little spat so visual. It's nice to know that once in a while I can let others see the TV show that plays in my head.

04/23/2007 07:38 am
The Runaway         
Oh, no! I was afraid this would happen if they were outside.....
Cool, in that I'm glad that I made the Inititative menacing enough. I'd feel silly if all my characters were hiding in the sewer for no reason.

04/23/2007 06:37 am
The Runaway         
I hope Buffy kicks their ass...es.
I think Buffy isn't going to be happy with anyone taking her vampire.

04/23/2007 06:16 am
The Runaway         
DAMMIT!

oh man...poor spike... :( they're gonna chip him, aren't they? :( i hope buffy does remember it all when she wakes up, and knows enough to go and try to help him...great chapter, love :)
Thanks.

Well, remember of all the vampires they captured on the show, Spike was the only one the chipped. So that might have something else in store for him.

I love your treatment of The Initiative and use of Angel instead of Spike. In fact, I really like your creation of The Center and how the demon society and your slayer's life are connected - excellent use of series character within a new setting -

Well that was an unexpected turn of events, and wonderful twist, now for Spike to find Buffy. Glad to have another chapter, don't know how I missed this one, thanks, Great chapter.

really enjoy buffy becoming aware she needs more. even if she does not what. very good read, thank you
Thank you. I think sooner or later Buffy needed to start taking responsibility for her life, or she just wouldn't have been quite Buffy. Not that Buffy isn't good at denile and hiding from her life too.

04/17/2007 03:55 pm
Single Combat         
Now that was a fight. Not only did Angel kill Riley and revert back to Angelus, but Buffy is leaving. It's understandable that she would be freaked by all the things she doesn't understand about their society but I wish she would talk to Spike. I wonder if he'll go after her when he realizes she left. I also wonder how Angelus will respond if she does come back.
Never say nothing happens in my stories ;) I think once Spike realizes she's gone, and tracks her down, he make her talk, or at least try to.

04/17/2007 04:25 am
Single Combat         
Awww poor Buffy! Spike is going to kick himself once he figures out what the girl is feeling. If this Spike is half as intuitive as the one we saw in canon universe he'll figure it out in time.

Excellent update. I do love this universe and even like Darla for the first time *G*. And ..... Riley dusting.....always a good thing LOL.

Kathleen
Glad to hear that you like Darla. She actually become one of my favorite characters. And you're right, once Spke really realizes that Buffy is upset, he'll start to figure things out.
Thanks so much.

04/17/2007 12:00 am
Single Combat         
oh no....i'm getting a really bad feeling about this... i mean, i think it's good for buffy that she got out before angelus could do anything to her, as damaged as she already is...but what about spike? something tells me things aren't going to go so well for him now :( great chapter, love, very much enjoying this awesome story :)
Thanks so much.
If it makes you feel better, remember that Angelus is chipped, and that he doesn't have any personal grudge against Buffy like on the show. As for Spike. . . well you'll just have to wait and see.

Well, well! Definitely a different turn....how's Angelus going to be post soul? Hope he's not end-the-world-crazy this time.

And Buffy's trying for a new start....about time she figures out she can have it.
Well, I think it's safe to say that Angleus is going to be really pissed off about the chip. Hmmm, Spike couldn't even point an unloaded gun at Xander, so I'm not sure Angelus could end the world.
And I'm glad you like that Buffy's finally starting to be independant.

04/16/2007 09:54 pm
Single Combat         
Aawww. Poor Buffy. I'm glad she's at least looking out for herself tho. If she's leaving, then she's at least showing some... perrogative? self? I'm not sure of the word. But anyways - I liked thta you wrote it that way! Lovely chapter. ;)
Thanks. I was beginning to realize that even though Buffy was the owner and not the slave she was a little too weak-willed in the story. It was definitely time for her to grow some backbone.

04/16/2007 09:29 pm
Single Combat         
Ew, so did not need the visuals of angel and darla boinking *covers eyes*

But awww at Buffy. Dumb-assed Spike
lol I'm rather fond of Darla and Angel, but then I didn't try and make their bit if sex 'hot'. It was for plot purposes only.
As for Buffy and Spike, as soon as Spike realizes she's gone, I think it's safe to say he'll change how he's been handling her.

Can't wait to see what happens with Angelus back and Buffy gone.

Cool vamp action.
Thanks, glad you liked it. I always figure it's more fun to let the vamps be vamps. Otherwise they might as well all be human.

The Challenge         
Spike really is clueless. At this rate everyone is going to know about Buffy's feelings for him before he does. Why doesn't he make a move, since clearly he's interested as well? It will be interesting to see Buffy kick Riley's butt, not to mention the idea of him in a dress for a week. Talk about humiliation.
Spike has some excuse for his cluelessness. Remember (I know, I don't update frequently enough so it was a while ago) when he was still Buffy's slave he kept trying to sleep with her again, but she was keeping her distance.

04/13/2007 01:12 pm
The Challenge         
Darla's right, never thought I'd say that! They do need an little tough'n tumble, Spike and Buffy I mean, it might lead to a lot of rough'n tumble! Once Riley heals, Spike needs to have a go with him go! Let the fledge knows what it's like to go up against a master, the twit. Thanks for the update, it's one of my favorites, the next one should be a whole lot of fun!
Thank you. And I think Riley will learn what it is to go up against a Master vampire sooner rather than later.

Not that I particularly care about the Riley fight - but the aftermath might be interesting. But please, please try to update more often. This is such a fun story.
Glad you're enjoying it. Sorry about the slow updates. I actualy meant to have this posted almost a week ago but I had computer problems. And I'll be curious what you think of the fight afterwards, because it's not going to be quite how everyone assumes it will go.

"He should have challenged you directly," darla is much sharper than previously portrayed. she is "living" up to her age. very good read, thank you.
Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it. And I think Darla has had to grow into her responsibility. After all she doesn't have either the Master or Angelus to pamper her right now.

oh this should be good!!! lol...i can't wait to see riley get his rear handed to him...great chapter, building up the tension and drama, and the characters as well...very much looking forward to more ;)

Great update. Clueless Spike *G*. Darla has Buffy figured out though. Riley in a dress is a LOL image...I'll be giggling all day.

Hope the muse sticks around and RL lets you have time to take advantage.

Kathleen
Thanks. Glad you liked both Spike's bet with Riley, and also the fact that he doesn't always get it.
The next chapter should be out soon. It was actually an e-mail problem on my end that kept me from getting this chapter betaed and done sooner, so the next chapter should go smoother.

I really do enjoy this story. The plot is so interesting. I liked The Circle. I always enjoy an update.
Thank you. I do like to throw in a surprise or too, but also keep reminding people of how the story began (because I do have a tendancy to let the plots wander a bit). Hopefully I'll have the next update in about a week or so.

Riley's gonna get his ass kicked....

04/17/2007 03:45 pm
The Mall         
How funny is it that Buffy got along better with Harmony than with Willow and Riley. Makes sense since Harmony seems in her own world while Willow and Riley make Buffy feel like she's lunch. I'm thinking it might not have been so smart of Buffy to admit her crush to Harmony since she went back and told Darla. And Darla does not seem thrilled by the idea that Spike might reciprocate those feelings since apparently she sees Buffy as disposable.
I'm glad you liked the Buffy/Harmony friendship. Although Harmony did sort of betray Buffy. Darla could cause trouble for Buffy and Spike later one, but since I see you've read the next couple chapters, you know that she's going to have some distractions of her own.

Yay! An Update. Excellent chap. Loved it. It's soo cute to see Buffy crushing on Spike. Kinda a nice change from canon. Are we going to get a peek inside Spike's head? Buffy likes him, Darla's convinced he's obsessing, but the last I remember is that he was planning to kill her...eventually. Can't wait for more.
Thanks so much. And yes, having Buffy be the smitten one is fun. As for getting a peek insdie Spike's head, yes there will be one soon. In fact probably the next chapter.

Oh yes, UST! Great update. Look forward to this one. Love Harmony in this and hit with the realization that she would have been perfect with Riley! Considering his habits on the show her being a vampire would only make it even more a perfect match.

Kathleen
Glad you liked it.

Hmm, I hadn't actually thought about Harmony and Riley, but you're right, there could be something there. Of course curretnly Riley is Darla's boy toy, but then who knows what he gets up to when Darla is playing with Willow instead.

03/22/2007 07:33 am
The Mall         
Who knew Harmony's nattering could actually be useful? Wow, Darla can be intelligent if she tries.
I think Darla was always smart, after all she was the only vampire who ever thought to go after Buffy with a gun, which isn't a bad idea if you think about it. She just underestimated Angel in that situation. As for Harmony, I just think she needed to be in the right place at the right time, which she usually isn't. But after all she was a pretty good friend to Cordellia, when she wasn't trying to be 'evil'.

Can't wait for Spike to see Buffy in some of her new things. Still having a hard time thinking of Willow as a vampire. Thanks for the update IM, eagerly awaiting your next chapter.

Wow, you made Harmony really likeable. Well, she could be likeable at times, anyway, when she wasn't whining. I'm glad she was so helpful to Buffy.

Buffy needs to figure out that she can be in the regular world, on her terms, and that there's no need to be insecure or fake, really.
Glad you liked Harmony. You're right she can be a bit of a whiner, but at least she had nothing to whine about while shopping. And you're right, finding her place in the world is exactly what Buffy needs to do.

Hey, girl, thanks for updating. Can't believe that it's almost been a year since I first started reading this fic. The slayer's come such a long way since you first begun this fic. Spike is someone that you can't easily replace. He's definately one of a kind. He'll have to keep her close and away from the rest of them, which is all the better for us! Now they can meet on equal ground. She has less to feel guilty about. Maybe he can mark her so that no one else tries to take her. She may be the slayer but she's dealing with Willow now and even Darla realizes her potential. Great job, thanks.
Glad you like it, and wow, it has been a year hasn't it. I feel like I should have more written. Soon, I tell you, soon. As for Spike, he's definitely up to his ears in vampire polotics now. Thank so much.

It's been awhile since I've read this. I'm surprised with Spike getting out, but I like the direction you are going in. I hope to see more.
Thanks. This is one of those storys that sort of took off on its own. The more I thought about the world I created, the more I saw just how much was going on in it. So glad you like it, and I finally got an update out.

Interesting that Spike went back for Buffy to convince her to help him fight the Initiative. Even more so that she went, and admitted to herself that she missed both the fight and him. It will be enlightening to see how she gets along with Darla, Willow and Harmony. Those three could be scary for three different reasons, and I'm curious to see how Buffy interacts with them after so many years of isolation.
Well, Buffy might not react in quite the way you might guess, but I think you'll like it. It is going to be hard for Buffy to suddenly be in the center of a big group after so much time on her own.

02/12/2007 04:30 pm

Okay, that's more like the Darla I remember. Vamp!Willow, huh? And possibly chipped Xander. Looks like things are going to get interesting.
Well Darla's been around awhile so she's complex. I think she's more comfortable simply being the manipulater. And yes, Buffy's going to have a lot to deal with with all these vamps.

02/12/2007 03:55 pm

Wow this is shaping up to be one heck of a tale! Loved it all so far but this twist is a doozie. Oh yeah, can see Willow taking on Darla for the "Evil Bitch with the Biggest Balls" award...and winning! This will really be worth following as Buffy starts to fight for a cause. Wonderful, just wonderful.

Kathleen
Thanks. You know I think vamp Willow and Darla could have a story all of their own. I'm afraid their epic power struggle will only be a minor part of this story, since it's really about Spike and Buffy. Still there's a lot of potential there, and it's sure to influence Spike and Buffy.

Ah, well done showing Darla's mindset.

And Spike's roped Buffy in...easy enough, since she's never been educated about the Slayer way...

Interesting. Having the Slayer join up with a group of vampires but without the ingrained mortal enemy relationship. I wonder how that will turn out.

I like the way you build up the family life of the vamps. "They were just as tainted with love as he and Dru had been" Spike knew that Darla wanted Angelus back and he didn't hesitate to help.

Wow so Angel was captured by the initiative and turned into this crazy person. Explains why Darla needs help, and why she turned so many initiative people. Seems Willow and Xander were also turned and have a strange relationship to Angel. I wonder what Spike will do to try and help them. It's telling that they all do thing of trying to help one another even if they want to deny having feelings for one another
It's telling that they all do thing of trying to help one another even if they want to deny having feelings for one another

This is kind of how I view vampires in the Jossverse. They are capable of all this emotion, just most of them deny it. What makes Spike different is that he embraces his emotions, especially love.

So thanks for the review, even if I'm very slow in answering it.

Really a chilling account of the Initiative (and my mind went to our Spike and how we only saw a glimmer of what had to have happened to him before escape).

Love the name Darla of the hard eyes (how fitting)! But love her two sides best.

So Willow and Xander are vamps heh? Tee hee....yup, Vamp Willow DID love to play with the puppy. Nice parallel to that dimension.

Excellent as always.

Kathleen

Thanks. I was pretty proud of Darla of the Hard Eyes myself, and I like the idea that Angel's so messed up that he's splitting Darla up in the same way he splits himself up into Angel/Angelus.

To bad Willow and Xander are vamps Don't see how Buffy will be helping this new family of vamps, definately not all of them anyway. So now you've really got my curiosity peaked, as to how they can get together. Great work, thanks for the update.
Thank you. And remember this Buffy has a slightly different take on the world than the Buffy we're used to. But you're right about one thing, it won't be easy for her to get along with them.

YAY!! Poor Angel...but will Buffy and Spike ever see each other again? What's gunna happen to Buffy now that Spike is gone? Is she gunna continue in the circle competition? If she is who's gunna replace Spike? I personally hope she continues the competition or replaces the guy darla killed and becomes head honcho in the Demonic world and cuz she's human some stupid fuck thinks she's not worthy of the position and challenges her where after some odd years Spike is in the crowd and sees her beat the shit out of the guy and realize that's she's become more harden, more demonic, more feral. A totally ruthless Buffy: too human to be demonic and too demonic to be human...yeah...that'd be awesome!
Wow, you've given this some thought. In fact you've written a whole alternate ending to my story. Which is the only hint I'm going to give you. Glad you 've enjoyed it.

I almost feel sorry for Angel with a soul and a chip - and a lot worse chip than what Spike had, although come to think of it, we never did know if the pain only came for humans, or other living things (assuming that demons can be classified as not alive). Wondering how you are going to get Buffy back into this.
I've always felt that the more you try to think logically about the chip, the less sense it makes. But you're right, it was never clear what Spike was doing with those kittens he won at poker.

hmm so Buffy decided to let him go because she didn't want to break his spirit or seperate him from his family the way she had been. Very interesting. So is the idea of Spike being Darla's champion and helping her deal with the initiative. How much do I love the idea of her turning Riley, and then Spike beating him senseless to teach him his place. Curious to see what happened to Angelus and how Spike will handle all the changes
Glad you like the Buffy's reasoning. I know most people didn't want Buffy to sell Spike, but I think her reasons are good ones. As for Riley, I'm afraid he's just found himself on the bottom of the vampire totem pole.

Sunnydale, the Mayor...the Initiative...oooh, has Angelus been chipped?

I wish Buffy would seize hold of her options and just go live! She's 18, her life should be just starting, not chained to that dreadful place. I can't wait for her to go after Spike.
Sadly Buffy still has too much of the slave mentality to go live her life. But maybe now that she's had a small taste of living it'll get her moving.

01/02/2007 03:13 am

Looove where you're taking this. Surprised that she sold him but I understand why she did, and she's right to think that he would end up like her. She care's enough about him not to want that for him. Can't wait to see who goes after who first, Spike for her help or Buffy since she misses him. I can see Angelus fighting with the scoobies without a slayer, if that happens, Spike's going to have to switch over to the other side. Darla won't be happy about that. Wasn't Riley already in the Initiative during this time line? Is that why the vampire's have the gun's? Oh the possibilities! Great work IM, thanks. Please update soon, can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
Thanks so much. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say the fate of many more characters will become apparent in the next chapter, along with why Darla needs Spike.

Interesting...seems there's more to the Darla situation that she is currently telling. It also seems like Spike is unsure of her motives and his a complicated history with her. I wonder what happened to Angelus and how Buffy will respond to the offer to purchase Spike

01/02/2007 12:15 am
A Family Affair         
Hmm once again the Master rises in a Sunnydale without Buffy but I'm surprised that Darla did him in but the logic makes sense. I'd like to know what is going on in Buffy's mind. She seems awfully reticent re "thoughtful". Has being in the Circle affected her natural ebullience or doesn't her character have that in her in this fic? I love seeing Spike's POV...just want to see more of Buffy re her motivations.
Well, there's more of Buffy's reactions in the next chapter, at least at the begining. And this Buffy isn't so much thoughtful as cautious. She's used to be punished for acting in ways other than she's told, so she doesn't act out as much. And ebullience is a great word. With Spike's help she may get some of that back.

12/26/2006 09:41 pm

What's Darla up to? Is Buffy really going to give up her prized vampire? Is Buffy going to have another accidental sex episode? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks, I'm glad you want to know. But there's a lot of plot to be coverd in the next chapter, so it may take me a bit. I'll try to have it soon though.

A Family Affair         
Ensouled Angelus, perhaps? This really puts a great twist as to her interest in Spike. Wondered how the real world was handling things without a slayer since Buffy's there. Nice touch that it was Darla who closed the Hellmouth this time. Wonder if any of the scoobies are still alive, since she obviously killed Jesse by now and had been to SunnyD. Wow, the thought really blows the mind. Great chapter, IM. Thanks for posting.

Love the falshback with Darla....that seemed so believeable even though I've never really pictured Spike and Darla while he "loved" Dru. It makes lots of sense the way you describe it. Great update.

Thanks. I have a huge soft spot for Spike and Darla, although that will be the only place I indulge in it in this story. I just the think the two of them were both sort of on the edges of the family. And I think from time to time when Angelus and Dru left them out, they must have gotten up to their own mischief.

Angelus not well? Soul issues..poison..crazy-making visions? Darla's an interesting one for loyalties...she's unpredictable.

oh god, oh god, oh god! don't let him be selled! Darla will get him with the collar and be nasty about it! BTW I like that when you explore realms of submission and dominance you still let your chareacters have a free will. I don't like "doormat-spike" very much. nor unfeeling buffy using him and once realising her bully nature, forgiven fearily easily. I love your stories.
update soon!
Thank you. Spike as a doormat wouldn't be as fun. And this Buffy does feel a great deal, even though she thinks that she's shut down.

Loving the story so far. I'm wondering what Darla is up to since she and Spike are not friends.
No, she and Spike aren't friends, but they are family. Of course Darla does have ultirior motives.

12/18/2006 09:18 pm
Dea ex Machina         
Didn't see that one coming. Never did like Darla, but after that I could learn to.
Thanks. I think at the very least you'll find Darla a lot more interesting in this story than she is in most Spuffy stories. Of course there isn't much Daral in most Spuffy stories so maybe that isn't saying much.

Well that was an interesting turn of events. I wonder what Buffy will do about Darla wanting to buy Spike. I also wonder if Daryl's death will come back on Buffy. Hoepfully enough people saw Darla do it that Buffy won't be blamed.
Buffy's going to have some tough choices ahead for her, but she's pretty much safe from 'the law' since the demons in The Center aren't really organized enough to have any.

Thanks for reading and leaving a review.

Happy Birthday! fellow Sagittarian, mine was the 13th. When you give a twist you do it up right. Wow, hope Spike gets to Buffy before Darla can strike a deal, but then Buffy isn't one to jump into something without thinking about it, a very long time. Thanks for the posting on your b-day. Hope you had fun. Thanks for the fantastic fic, hope you can update again soon, Icemink.
Thanks. Hope you had a good birthday too. And I'm glad you like the twist. I'll just say there's a lot more to it than I've reavealed yet. And you're right, this Buffy does tend to take her time to think things over. She won't make a decision right away.

Darla's here? Hmmm....is she purchasing Spike for the good of family, or does she have wicked plans for him? And obviously, buffy hasn't realized she's dealing with a very old vampire, yet. Actually, she really doesn't realize much of anything that's truth, yet, like what her power is, and should be. To be afraid of a little weasel like that, when she could snap him like a twig? The girl certainly doesn't have much imagination. Or ambition. She could make a life outside, if she wanted it bad enough.

Anyway...Spike got her another time, eh? But she's confused about why he wants her that way....he doesn't fear who she might send him to, but she doesn't seem to understand a vampire's nature, or Spike's strength of will. Still young and naive. Spike's going to have his jaw on the floor to see Darla there!
You're right, Buffy doesn't realize how powerful she is. In a lot of ways she hasn't left her life as a slave behind.

And yeah, Spike's going to be pretty startled to see Darla.

Thanks for reading and leaving such a thoughtful review.

Naturally Buffy shouldn't sell at any price. I sure wouldn't.

Excellent update and love the story still.

Thank you. And yes I did get a lot more than just reviews for my birthday, but the reviews are great too :)

Darla may surprise you in this story, she's certainly going to surprise Spike.

I think Spike is deluding himself just as much as Buffy was about why she had taken that step with him. His reason's for not killing her go far beyond what he will admit to himself. And I'm afraid that she will let Daryl have his way, because of what will happen to her if she refuses.

Right, he's really going to kill her now, what a bunch of bull. He is so into her and he knows it no matter what happens with Daryl. Thanks for the Spuffy lovin' even if it was short and sweet.

Wonder what he has in mind for Spike and Buffy? Well some of the pieces are starting to come together but we know how many layers Buffy always has. It's never easy to figure her out. Spike has to think a little more before he makes his next move, that's for sure. Wonderful chapter, thanks.

AHA, Spike has a clue and that is all it usually takes him to figure things (and Buffy) out. I have a feeling that this Daryl has a "thing" for pretty fighters (and lots of power....I think HE'S the one who called the fight, so Spike could stay pretty). Methinks that Buffy had her "Angelus moment" with this creep and she already cares enough to not put Spike through it.


Nice update in a well crafted story. Always look forward to updates. Excellent.

Kathleen
lol 'Angelus moment' is that what we're calling it now? As for Daryl calling the fight, I hadn't really thought of that, but it would make sense. May have to work that into the next couple chapters if it fits in.

Yep, Spike...use that sharp brain of yours and work out a plan...

He was always a good demon fighter. The only beings that really messed him up were Buffy, Glory, and the Ubervamp. And the last was only because he'd been captured and tortured to begin with.
You forgot Buffy's mom :) But yes, this Spike can definitely hold his own in a fight, especially with all the training he's been recieving.

Bingbingbing! It all starts to make sense to Spike. And I presume from what was just said that Darryl requires a ... personal audience with all the attractive slaves sent into the Circle? Which included Buffy and includes Spike? And I'm guessing it's not all hearts and roses, either.

Really liking this story. Well written.

Is she still a virgin? I can't remember if you've said.....
And she could be a girl, if she wanted to. No one out in the real world knows who she is. She could go anywhere and make a life if she just wanted it bad enough.

excellent update, pet....i was so glad to see that you'd updated, i was beginning to be afraid id never see more of this great story...the backstory on buffy really helps a lot, helped to make everything make sense...poor spike, though...i feel bad that she chose, in the end, to punish him...she's still a slave to the world she lives in, isn't she? can't wait for another update, pet, this one was awesome! :)
Thanks. Sorry it took me so long to update. My life's been crazy and I've had a lot of trouble writing recently, but I should be updating a lot more now.

And yes, Buffy's very much a prisoner here too.

Is Spike getting an idea about what Buffy wants to do with him (besides shagging him senseless)? Thanks for the new chapter and more story soon please.

Fascinating world you've created in this fic. I like the separation you've established between Buffy and real world. I like Spike's reactions to her and surprise. Look forward to more.

Gadz. Can Spike take off the cock ring now or does he have to keep it on until she takes it off? Weird story but I want more please.

I like that. I like that "no-so-saint" Buffy. Hope you will not keep us without update for too long.
But is it so obvious that Spike is the one to be the poor little (sex) slave? This is the third story in the row with enslaved Spike. Ok, he's like made for it ;-)
But I'm waiting for something with enslaved Buffy and Master Spike. That could be fun too. ;-)

Awesome chapter Icemink! I really love this story. I didn't even know I had a 'slave Spike' fetish until I began reading all these awesome fics. I like Buffy's history here, very believable!
Lol. What sane woman wouldn't have a 'slave Spike' fetish? Glad you like it. Hope to have more soon.

um the story line is a little confusing. if she's a slayer, then why is she surprised at seeing a vampire being dusted?? otherwise it has lots of potential. keep updating.
Sorry about any confusion. Why Buffy's never seen a vampire dusted should become clearer in the next chapter.

very nice start. A lot of people are responding to this particular challenge. I've got an idea brewing myself...a couple actually. don't know if i'll ever get around to them though.
Thanks. It is a nice sort of open ended challenge. The sort of thing that you could do a whole bunch of different ways. My first idea for it was actually cannon, but this is more fun.
