“You found me out, pet. It’s all part of being evil. Keep the Slayer away from the Hellmouth by shagging her silly several times a day.” Heeeeeeee

“I love you, Buffy. I know you don’t love me. Wouldn’t expect you to, truth be told. I’m a monster. One of the things you slay every day. I can’t forget that... and neither should you. Every minute of closeness you let me have is a gift. And if I ever forget to treat it as such, feel free to stake me on the spot.” Awwwww

Fun story :D

Probably more than a bit unlikely, but it was fun to write.

Love this story just about as much as almost every one you wrote.  The only problem with it is that it leaves me without anything left to read. Please write something new soon 
LOL Seriously? Every one? You do know I've got like 90 + stories on here, right? There's a new one - it's up to Chapter Six so far.  Have you seen it? "So You Think You Can Dance?"  There are probably more stories on my website, because not everything I write is Spuffy, but if you only want Spuffy, they are all on here.

Thanks for reading and commenting so nicely!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!! More..! Must have More...! (& a sequel! A Trilogy, even..!)

Ah, Spuffy luvin' -  As can only  be delivered by The Master of Spuffy!

Tragically, our beloved Slayer continues to swim in De-Nile; You'd think, given that the dreaded "Morning After" was neither an angst-fest (bar her usual shenanigans)  or that Spike was actually still there & wasn't ripping her to bits (literally or otherwise) would convince her! (~Smacks Buffy w/a Ball Peen hammer!~)  Well..? at least she isn't punching him out afterwards...

Thanks again for sharing your splendid works!

Buffy is stil holding back. She's still having trouble getting past what happened with Angelus and can't seem to take in how different Spike is. She's getting there though...

Um... I thought I was in for a treat with 2 new chapters but you appear to have uploaded the same chapter twice... :-/
Oops! And now I've deleted a review. *sigh* I have no idea how or why that happened. It's all part of the plan computers have to make me insane lately.

I envy her! All day shagging sessions with Spike. Bring it on.

She doesn't get it. He really isn't like Angel. Or Angel isn't like most vamps. Either way Angel was the one with the problem not Spike.
Yep. it's gonna be a very nice stay....

Did she not pay attention when he was with Dru? I mean he did everything for her, he was kind and caring and down right courtly with Dru. How could she expect anything less?!
Well, she knows how much he loved Dru, but I doubt she's had many opportunities to see how he actually treated her.

Buffy narrowed her eyes at Giles. “If you think I’m too ugly to get a boyfriend unless he wants something from me, Giles, just say so.”

Hahaha -- loved  that line.  A break in Las Vegas will suit them just fine.

And another near-miss!! Arrgghh! What's it gonna take..?! Oh, wait..! I know what it's gonna take - (~ begins to chant manically at Buffy & Spike!~) "The Master of Spuffy COMPELS You..!"  (Er..? Uhmm..? OK..! So..? Go on! Get to Compelling! ~doles out yet another bribe!~) 

Oh, how you wound your devoted fans, oh Master of Spuffy..! The Tension..! The Drama..!  (The utter & apalling lack of Lemons... ) But what's this..? Back to Vegas, eh? YES! If Sin City's charms cannot grant us Spuffy Luvin' then nothing can!

I do wonder - will the Slayerettes end up pulling one of their notorious "Interventions?" If so, put me down for either Xander-Bashing,(or failing that, have The Big Bad put the Gelled Ninny in a hurt locker!)

I have mentioned your wicked, wicked talent at cliff-hangers; It seems you've hit us w/one again! Bravo!

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!! More! We MUST have more..! (~prepares outrageous bribe!~)

It is surprising, that Adam was taken down that easily - Or was it..? (If there was one this I ~LOATHED~ about the Initiative Arc, it was how they took Spike, arguably Buffy's deadliest enemy and made him a joke. {~Marches of to RE-crucify Joss!~} The Slayer of Slayers, youngest Master Vampire in council history, & they made him a walking gag-reel! Boo, I say..! BOO!!) Spike is, technically Master Aurellius. Such a vamp can never be a joke! Of course he turned the tide!

And finally! The Inevitable has begun!! (Or will, once the "interuptions" are dealt with! YES!) Once again, you show us all why you're The Master of Spuffy!!

Okay even Buffy has to see that he has feelings for her. I mean he just took a crap load of bullets for her! Gem or not that was pretty amazing. Of course Spike copped a feel, he wouldn't be Spike if he didn't. She didn't seem to upset by it either.

Maybe she might learn something, like Angelus is the one with no self control unless he is tightly leashed! I mean seriously if all vampires were mindless killers who only pretented to have their human qualities, how in the world do you explain Harmony? I mean she thought about unicorns and going to Paris more than killing!

Spike kisses probably can melt your brain.
I'm pretty sure Spike kisses can melt the brain.  I'd love to find out!

Ahh, the dreaded "Slow Simmer" aproach - What a wicked WICKED method to use upon us poor, unsuspecting readers..! Yes, The Big Bad is (though FAR too slowly methinks..!) working his way into the Unfortunate Buffy's graces, but..? AH Hell, "We Want Lemons! We want PWP (or PW/OP! that'll work as well..!) & We DEMAND (Or rather I Beg, this of thee oh Master of Spuffy!)  now!"

You do have an amazing gift for tantalizing  your audience; Your "Romance on a slow burn" is truly something! (Frustraiting, most of all! C'mon! Buffy ~can't~ be that thick... Can she? Err..? Don't answer that...) What's it gonna take for our resident Slayer to wake up & smell the blood?

A slpendid addition to your wonderous collection of Spuffy greatness, this is sure to be..! Now get us to the Spuffy Luvin'!! (~Discreetly offers ridiculous bribe!~) or failing that, a heaping dose of either Riley-Bashing, or multiple agonies inflicted upon The Gelled Ninny (aka Angel the Pedo-freak.)!

God forbid someone tell her that Angel ravaged her throat for no reason. That Angel is the one with the control issues. No one can bad mouth Angel to Buffy. She won't believe it, refuses to believe it. Because then she might just have to reconsider everything she knows about her first love and vampires in general. Did I see a little spark of jealousy there when the other girl was hitting on Spike?
Jealousy? Maybe... just a teeny bit. :)

Can I have naked sleeping Spike in my room?! I know what to do with him!

Is Buffy seriously going to complain that he feed without hurting or killing anyone and the blood was freely given? I mean seriously what does she want from him? She only told him not to kill to eat and he didn't. Vampire or not he does have eat.
These are some pretty big adjustments for Buffy to make in her thinking - it might take her a while to get used to having a less rigid view of the world. :) I think we'd all be happy to share a hotel room with naked Spike. :)

Fantastic fic so far. Love reading it. Good plot and grammar.
Its nice to read a fic where Buffy has a more open mind and isn't beating on Spike most of the time.

Going to Las Vegas was a nice change from most fics where Buffys just stays around the Hellmouth.
And the development between them up to this point has been fun.

Buffy doesn't seem happy about the blood donor. Hope their night out isn't ruined.
I bet Buffy wouldn't think it was 'icky' is he was biting her instead. Well....maybe not right now. But soon...

Any chance of Buffy handing over the gem so they can spend some time in the sun together?
Actually, don't tell me. Not knowing is half the fun ;)

I'll be watching this story for updates like crazy.

You know Spike had to be kicking himself, realizing there was an entrance to the treasure. He spent so much time digging when he could have just walked in.

Buffy and shoe shopping? She can spend every penny he has!

Nice way of patching in Angel's activities In WWII and connecting them to the Initiative.  That's one of my fave Angel episodes.  
It was a fun episode, wasn't it?  I don't remember when I started connecting the Initiative to the Germans in WWII, but I think I have to give credit to Lilachigh for the original idea. I think it came up in her wonderful "Why We Fight".

Ah, the Spuffy Dance! (not to be confused w/that nightmare performed by Twinkie the Hyena AKA Xander) The tension mounts, as does the danger! One wonders if this will be what finally convincces the Unfortunate Buffy (so named, as she currently ISN'T w/Spike ) that there are indeed Shades of Grey...

Again, you capture the both of them splendidly! (but then, you are The Master of Spuffy! so it's a given that you would!)

Will Buffy be giving Spike the Ring back, given the dangers that surround them..? (You just know he won't ~ask~ fo it. Not if it helps her...)

Wonderful chapter! Now she's seen what's going on down there, Buffy's not going to be nearly as tolerant of the Initiative as she was on the show. Never quite understood the attitude the writers gave her about them...
I'm not clear on why she was so tolerant, although she probably didn't know a lot of what was going on. So, when I'm writing season 4 stuff, I try to make sure she finds out what's happening down there soon enough to make an informed decision about Riley. :)

Okay as wrong as it was for Spike to say it it was true the only way to keep Harmony quiet is to make sure her mouth was busy with something else. All I can say is if it had been me I probably would have taken a bite out of his ass! Spike terrified! That can't be good, I mean if a vamp like Spike is begging to be staked rather than let humans get him Buffy has to realize that the situation is serious. I only hope that Buffy did say that last bit too loud. If Walsh heard her they are seriously screwed.
This is early season 4 Spike. He's crude and rude and mostly evil... although he's obviously softening towards this slayer. :)

I know I waited til chapter 3 to tell you how great this story is (like ALL your stories!), but this is the first one where I could actually read the two words in that anti-spam box, so I couldn't comment before!
You consistently create such a strong Spike--so true to his real character of the early years--humorous, slightly vulnerable, yet strong, edgy Spike.  You've written a fascinating plot twist from the show version, and I'm very intrigued.  I also love the humor you interject which is so absolutely spot-on for Buffy and Spike--such as how Harmony thought he was her boyfriend, and Spike replied that she believed in unicorns, too. 
I can't wait to read the rest of the story.

 

Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story too. :)

Giles and Spike getting along is great. Those two had a lot in common if they would ever admit it. You know William went to good schools plus University and so did Giles. They like a lot of the same music and both have the same sense of humor.

I don't I could stake Harmony run her out of town hell yeah but stake her nah. She is too inept as a vamp to stake.
Poor Harm gets no respect. :)  I've always been disappointed that Spike and Giles didn't get along better. They did have stuff in common.

"It’s not like I’ve got a demon in me" Ah, sweet, innocent season four Buffy... "stake-shooting penis substitutes" LMAO “Don’t bait the nice man who’s letting you stay in his house, Spike,” Buffy said, cuffing the vampire on the side of his head with no real intent to harm. “Spoil sport,” he muttered. “If I can’t eat him, at least I can annoy him. It’s only fair, Slayer.” Bwahahahahahaha Predictably, I love to pieces Spike accidentally admitting how attractive Buffy is, and Buffy being thrown by it, Buffy calling him out on the drama queen tendencies, and just all the fun banter

Giles was more than a little creepy with that whole cutting on Buffy thing.  Ew.  And how is it that Buffy can trust Spike enough to go to sleep with him in the same room?  I'm sure Spike is up to something.  :)

*nods* I hated to do that to Giles, but I can see him going into "watcher research" mode and getting temporarily carried away. This is, after all, the man who was willing to put Buffy through a Cruciamentum.  He snaps out of these Council things pretty quickly, but he is who he was raised to be.

Buffy thinks she's watching Spike, but she is trusting him to some extent. I guess between having had a working truce before, never worrying about him getting into her house and killing her or her mother, and his not killing her when he had the chance, she figures it's okay. I don't think he's given up on his ring, but he's too smart to take on a healthy Buffy who's wearing it. :)

Yes!! Another splendid chapter!! (& yet another example of your Mastery of all that is Spuffy!!)

So..! The Gem works for Buffy, as well as Spike, a very unique (& a never before done) twist. And a timely one, as it seems Riley & Co. have set their sights on both our beloved Slayer & Vampire. (& do my eyes decieve me, but did Giles have a Ripper moment there..? More trouble methinks..!) Great stuff! All of it! (But then it's you so..? Not at all surprising!)

Your grasp of the Spuffy dynamic, once again shines through! (That said, your works should come w/a warning! It's that addictive!) Cannot wait to see what happens next!

Oh, I am loving this! Unchipped Spike is already changing sides! Can't wait to see where you take them. I hope it's a long one.............
LOL - well, the chapters are pretty long....  Yep, poor Spike. He was already screwed and he didn't know it.

Of course Spike would ask for a truce. He is smart enough to know when he is out numbered and needs help. Spike's plans might not have worked but only because he was impatient not because they weren't good plans. Without the gem he is an easy target for all those soldiers. And Buffy is a ditz to think they wouldn't want to experiment on her! Those guys are going to tell their boss immediately that a tiny little blonde girl tossed them around like baby dolls. Simply because they are idiots and think she is a demon. Even if they find out she isn't she is exactly what Maggie is looking for. The abilities of demons with none of the drawbacks. Human with supernatural abilities the model for a perfect solider. 

Spike is a very strange vampire. He has his own code of honor as it were. If he says truce he means it.
He does. Might take Giles a while to believe that though....

“Maybe he’ll die from frustration?” This was very amusing, though Buffy throwing a guy at Riley? That was priceless!
Thank you.

Love the story idea.  Does the ring enhance Buffy's powers, too?  More please :)

We'll see.... :)

A terrific start - loved your Spike, dirty, sexy, and honourable (I beg your pardon, just adored that). Great move to have Buffy step in on the Initiatives action, does this mean they will investigate what a slayer is and does that mean Spike and Buffy both could be targets? More soon I hope.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I think the Initiative is going to want to know more about this girl who can throw them around and lets a vampire escape...

Interesting. I wonder if Buffy is going to give him the ring back. Talk about not fighting fair, those soliders don't fight fair.
This is early season four Buffy - do you think she is likely to give the ring back?  I'm pretty sure fighting fair against anything ( maybe each other) isn't important to the Initiative soldiers. :)

More I say..! I demand it at once! Update! Like there's no tomorrow! Hourly, even! (~proceeds to chant maniacally!~) "The Power of Your Fans COMPELS You..!"

Truly an inspired begining - We MUST have more! (~discreetly offers outlandish bribe!~) We must also have copious amounts of Riley-Bashing & Even MORE Spuffy Luvin'!!! Your mastery of all that is Spike & Buffy again shines through!

This looks to be yet another winner, Oh Master of Spuffy. Cannot wait to see what happens next!
(~readies yet another ridiculous bribe~!)

LOL Thank you?  I think you'll have to bribe my beta. Good luck with that. :)

Hi... Love this, it's a great start.  Love unchipped, evil Spike, he's so much fun.  Interested to see where the story goes.  (Oh, and gorgeous banner!)
 

It is a beautiful banner, isn't it? Always_jbj is so multi-talented!  I'm glad you liked the first chapter. Hope the rest of it appeals to you. :)

Well, that is a questionable meeting with the iniative.  Don't turn your back, Buffy, I think you may have just made yourself a target...  Looking forward to more.  Update soon!
Yeah, I think Buffy may have burned a bridge there - but hey, in canon, Maggie wanted to kill her anyway.... :) I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Oh! {sits back and gets comfy}  I think I'm going to enjoy this one! What a fascinating premise!
I hope you like it!

Oh yay!  New fic and a rousing opener.  I'm going to enjoy this.  So Buffy and Spike and fair fighting (at least until the attraction messes that idea up) and a semi-clued in Riley and company trying to interfere....gotta love the ingredients.

I think Spike would have stopped had she cried foul.  He did look on her as a warrior and his pride demanded nothing less than her best.  Wasn't worth it otherwise.

Lovely,
Kathleen
Thanks - if that doesn't work for readers, then the who premise goes poof! :)  Hope you enjoy the rest of it.
