Not fair! Buffy has everything! "Her whole body flamed into white heat." *sigh* Great story line; excellent smut!
Thank you! Those scenes are at once the most fun and the hardest scenes to write. After fourteen stories, it's hard not to repeat oneself.

Buffy smartened up several notches LOL! Beautifully written.
Thank you! I'm so glad you're liking it!

That had to be the sexiest Spuffy I've read... Not helped by reading it at work LOL!
I love this combination; Buffy before she got so cynical and hard, and Spike ensouled and loving. All I can say is Wow - and ask how many more chapters that I can look forward to...

Gee, Buffy's a quick study this time around. I'm glad Spike didn't play too hard to get, though.
Fun chapter.
Fun chapter.
She's got that binder. :D And can you see Spike ever turning Buffy down? I'm glad you're liking it!

You’re the best. The brightest and the bravest and the most beautiful. A shining light. *sigh* Spike sure knows how to make a girl feel special, doesn't he? Of course, that's really you writing while channeling him, but I can seem him saying something like that.
Hmm, they don't love each other but they want each other? Isn't that still under using?? And i think Spike would love Buffy no matter what version he came across. Besides, where she's at right now is when he first realized he loved her isn't it? Or not yet?
Grrr! I hate that he settles all the time with her! I know he can only take what she offers but it still sucks! And 'clawed at his taut ass'? *snort* It's a good thing about the vampire healing or it's gonna hurt to sit down. *crackles in delight*
Great chapter!! Really loving the story!
He's not saying it for effect - that's the way he sees her. And that 'they don't love each other'? That's Buffy talking, not Spike. Because you're quite right - she's what he first loved. You've anticipated me by three chapters. :D
Bites and scratches are only a stimulus to a vamp, right? And he does heal fast. *grin*
I'm so glad you're enjoying this! Thank you!

> Transformation was Spike’s middle name.
from Future Shock, I know this to be deceptive and false. Yes, some people have a greater capacity for, and need for, change than others. However, all people need constancy in some area of their lives to thrive, whether it be work or friends or family or geography. Spike's constancy was Drusilla and then Buffy. And ironcially enough, Angel. Of course, Angel himself had radically different constancies and his self-delusions were one of them. It sure as hell wasn't people since he took them and discarded them at will.
Future Shock is about too much change in too short a period of time, right? Spike's own change is always balanced - he adapts and transforms, but only to what he needs. He is as fluid as water, but like water keeps his own essential nature. He changes, but never leaves, constant to the things he loves. Angel abandons Dru and Buffy; Spike never does. In BTVS, Spike's arc over Seasons 2 to 7 is one great arc of change, of movement towards redemption. Transfiguration.
He's the Fool in the Tarot deck, the spirit in search of experience, having the ability to tune into the inner workings of the world, often representing the flesh, the sensitive life. Dancing on the edge of the abyss, he represents change, recklessness and the human spirit's journey.
Without change, one ceases to grow, becomes essentially dead. Static, like Angel. Spike's the chaos figure, always causing trouble, but always growing and adapting. Life should be his middle name and I wanted to use that, but it wouldn't have suited the context.

Be still my heart- is that Buffy being the one to start up the 'we need to talk and figure things out' conversation? I never thought I'd see that day.
I like how you showed that they could still have the rough sex (which lets face it, that was hot on the show even if it was depressing) but it didn't have to be horrible. That's what the show always seemed to say to me- anything that didn't fall into the 'nice' category of sex (rough, bondage, etc) was 'bad', 'wrong' and 'destructive'. Yes it was in the show, but you just showed it doesn't have to be.
Anyway, let's hope this Buffy doesn't go all 'Wrecked' Buffy the next morning (on a side note, did you ever find it bleakly ironic that Buffy played the Angelus role the morning after to Spike?)
Can't wait for more!

I wanted to show that this Buffy is not damaged and doesn't need to duck discussing things.
The show seemed to say that only the missionary position is permissible and everything else wrong. I don't agree - anything goes if it's with love and doesn't hurt the partner. 'Her Way' has a bondage scene; 'His Girl' and 'A Different Light' have rear entrance; almost all my stories have rough. And, yeah, I noticed that irony too. She was as cruel as Angelus. But the show never admitted that she was ever hurting or abusing Spike. He didn't have a soul, did he? He deserved it. Yeah right.
I'm so glad you're enjoying this!

Spike just liked to fight, even against impossible odds and especially when the outcome was in doubt, the fact that he could die proving that he was alive. To a TEE! Even Angel made the comment in Damage that it was never about evil for Spike, it was the fight, the challenge.
WHWOA HOT! No disappointment here either. By the way...I had the "back of my mind" thought that the two Spikes should have their OWN Buffy somehow but I think I like this match up better. Buffy2 and unsouled Spike AND Buffy and souled Spike have no history of anger, violence and all that hurt to pop up and ruin the loving. I think all four can be happy right where they are. YUMMY!
Two chapters in one day. I feel spoiled (but sadly not as satisfied as Buffy LOL).

That's what I thought too - no history of pain between either pair, all of that wiped out by the switch. I'm so glad you agree!
