Great start so far, been reading on PSP so I couldn't review but eh it's kinky...Possessive Buffy in this chapter was great.

Oh... damn. Somehow I thought that Spike was gonna win. I'm not sure which is good and which is bad, so I guess I'll haveta keep reading :D
well, spike not winning is definitely of the bad, as i'm sure you've seen by now if you kept reading :( i did lose a lot of readers halfway through this fic, because it gets very dark and gruesome in parts...hope you read and enjoy the rest as well, love :)

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.
i'm sorry that you are disappointed..but yes, spike was already in love with buffy at this point, according to Joss (see FFL, scene with Dru and the chaos demon)...sorry if you're not enjoying it

NICE!! That was a VERY good chapter! You switched the power so many times, I wasn't sure who was going to win, to be honest with you.
thanx, so glad you enjoyed it...i was trying to keep everybody guessing :)

04/01/2006 01:13 am
Waaah! I wanted Spike to win *pouts* lol... Oh well, I guess I'll juat have to have fairth and wait to see where you take it.

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
thanx for your support and a great, thoughtful review :)

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...

Nuff said :)

Whoa, you won't be getting stones from me. That was fantastic! Now I'm curious to see what's gonna happen next. More, please!!!
thanx for the no-stoneage... :) more coming up soon :)

How could anyone want to stone you after that chapter? Heck, I just need a cigarrette! Great chapter, and I especially love Buffy's line about wanting him unlike anyone else. Ummm...How can he resist her?
lol...maybe i should have waited to say anything about stoning til my current chapter...lol :) thanx for the review :)

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

03/30/2006 05:31 am
Whew! A claim doesn't make the claimee a slave does it? If it does, please send poor Spike here; I'll treat him better than a slayer would. WEG More story please.
no, not exactly.... :) thanx for the review :)

excellent! very intrigued by your A/N. looking forward to next several chapters. thanks for the fine read
thanx for the review :)

03/30/2006 03:58 am
I don't think this is what Giles had in mind. Loved the wild bitieness. What next evil writer?
no, giles will be a bit...put out... :) thanx for the review

03/30/2006 03:22 am
Yay, GO BUFFY!! woot!
:) lol

03/30/2006 02:44 am
Wow! You have me hooked! I can't wait to see what happens here next!
:) thanx, neither can i!! :)

03/30/2006 02:42 am
Course that isn't to say that there won't still be a mutual claim or something ... I'm just worried and bummed.
i'm sorry that you're bummed...and you may just have something there ;)

~*~Tasha~*~
03/30/2006 02:40 am
I'm just going to hope that things really aren't how they look. I know you have your A/N saying it doesn't, but I'm going to wait for a better review until I read more chapters. I'm kind of bummed right now. Not that you haven't writte well, but I'm just bummed at the outcome because I really think that Spike won. 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}
i'm sorry you don't like the way things are going...as for the rejection, not so much considering that she immediately claimed him herself after rejecting his claim...buffy's not ready to willingly give herself to spike yet...but all will be explained in time, hope you like it again as the story goes along :)

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 :P
thanx for the thoughtful, in depth review by the way ;) lol

whoa!!
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! :D
lol...thanx, glad you thought so...yeah, she did win...kind of...but there's gonna be more to this than she realizes... :)

03/29/2006 11:38 pm
wow... lovely update and lots of bitey goodness :D
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 :soon:
hope i have satisfied a bit of curiosity, though probably not much by this point :)

03/29/2006 11:31 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 :)

OH my. My oh my. ::fans self::
This should be interesting. How does he turn the tables from here?
we'll see :)

03/29/2006 09:26 pm
I forgot to add, when I said owned I meant less in the dominant way and more in the heart and soul way. :P
i agree :)

03/29/2006 09:24 pm
*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 :)

03/29/2006 09:22 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 :)

I know I haven't reviewed the last couple of chapters, but I was reserving judgement to see what happened.

DAAAAAAMMMN! Excellent!

Buffy claimed Spike so it seems he lost. too bad slave Buffy would have been something new.
the struggle's not really over yet :)

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
03/29/2006 08:24 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... :)

just sue
03/29/2006 08:17 pm
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
03/29/2006 07:29 pm
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... :)

03/29/2006 07:28 pm
OH wow...beautiful...I loved it

MORE PLEASE
thanx so much, glad you are enjoying it :)
