I didn't see that coming! Update soon please.

Glad you are back to posting this story - its been quite a while, but then I am not one to talk LOL! But a lot happens in this chapter and it seems like you are rushing. I can't imagine where it goes from here.

Ewww... someone loving Angel... that's just not right! *gags*

great update. thanks for the read. i just *knew* if the tale was long enough angelus would show. thanks again

OMG. Is the mysterious female the lover that Angelus drained? Did another vamp turn her? More story soon please.

Who's the girl? update soon please

very sadand beautiful chapter. isuppose the pretty brunette with the devilish grin means trouble. thanks for the great read.

who is it!?!? and omg that chapter made me cry so much!!!

Die angel DIE, lol

I like Niko too!

aww..

excellent chapter. thanks for the fine read.

Oh now they've done the dirty....I guess there will be a lot of smut in the upcoming chapters :)

Now kill her and bring in Marie, muhahahahahahahaha

LOL. Spike's simply the best. Ilike Merrick better than Giles

great chapter

I hope Merrick lets Spike and Buffy stay together and that he doesn't tell the Wankers' Council. More story please.

very good read. you obviously did not pattern merrick after giles. thanks for the enjoyable read.

Hurry with the sparie, post a bunch of chapters at once. I want to see Marie!!

wonderful update to a great tale. why do i believe the next few chapters will not be pleasant for the slayer and spike? love the tale! thanks

YAY! Complete!

now what will mr. brood and mr. guy frm council of wankers do?

She had a wonderous vision quest. It seems that the previous slayers approved of Spike and the claiming. More story please.

Now the shit will hit the fan for sure.

AHHHHHH! YAY!!

Of course updates are loved, as is this story.

*yeeeeeh sunnydale* well first of all love the chapter title and second love the chapterespeciaaly the dancing in and out of mystical cirlcles part. can do without Giles but Will ans Xand would be nice to have.

Nice to see an update to this story. I guess that there will be no Giles in this story. Will there be any scoobies at all?

Then why the hell does he stick around? Why don't they start a coup?

lol they're the tools that shape america.. lol hehe great update!!

oh nice story. I really really like it alot

let's go to sunnydale! no seriously, i wanna see Will and Xand's reaction to slayage and the vamp guards and everything and wanna see Giles interactions with the vamp guards too.

Hot chocolate with marshmallows! That's pretty cute. More story please.

awww. thats so cute that joyce is all understanding like.. :P
and lol spike is so adorable.. :D

good chapter, fun tale. thanks for the read.

Get to the smut! LoL And the Sparie! hehe

yeh! claim's not broken! i really hate Angel right now wish someone would dust him!

So whens the cat gonna get out of the bag?

Strange semi-claim effects. Interesting that the other vamps will not force Spike to do what Angelus wants. More story please.

ohhhh poor Spike... just dust Angel and make a run for it with her, hehe

ohhhh poor Spike... just dust Angel and make a run for it with her, hehe

Sweet chappie! I shall be awating the next.

so he didn't break the claim, just blocked it? should make for interesting future chapters. thanks for the fine read.

i wait 4 ur story like mad. the last para made it seem like spike broke the claim. so is sunnydale in the offing?still waiting 2 see who the girl in the black n white shirt is.

Angel broke the claim didn't he, darn all that forehead an nothing to show for it. Wanker.. great Update

How is Spike going to break this incomplete claim without Buffy's presence? I get that Angelus is jealous and Merrick is a true Wanker but I don't get what Spike is supposed to do. Does he yell "repudio" or something three times? Wouldn't he have to do it to her face?

Blonde here requesting more.

awww.. did angel break the claim???

Oh noes, what did he do?

ok what's with Angel?and what the implications of the claim gonna be? u have me totally hooked u know that.

What a great story, and such an original idea. I'll keep my eye on this one.

Well now Spike has done it :)

OMG! Spike saved her by claiming her? Now he'll have to fight for his life against Angelus. Seems like a pretty solid claiming. More story please.

Did the three stooges sense the new claim??

very good chapter. am sure it's going to cause problems. looking forward to reading about them. thanks.

*GASP*.... oh no!!! he wouldnt?!? um one question.. why is avril on the banner?? *ponders*

Ohh fight to the death, that should be fun.

OMG!! What kind of thrall does Lothos have? Buffy is still a bimbo and she must be pretty easy. More story please.

too short!need more please write more fast! who's the girl wearing the black and white shirt in the banner?

very evil (good) spot to leave a very good update. enjoying the fic. thanks for the read.

Eeep! No beating on Spike..... except for me.......

awww.. did anyone think of cinderella story? lol i can hear it now.. "... on sleepless roads the sleepless go, may angels lead you in..." awww.. too bad about the fighting bit..

Ohh things are heating up now, so will Merrick die? Will things change alot from canon? This story is very interesting.

ACK!! Just when the Spuffy is getting started, some trumped up vamp interrupts and you leave us with a cliffie! I'm really enjoying this story and want more please.

how could spike lose buffy? enjoyed the update. thanks

gaaaahhh I hope she sets Lothos on fire for breaking up the make out section...

well things are heating up nicely...i want to know what happened to buffy!!! will they find her in time?? loving your story still :)

Well that was a nice chapter....so she got over Angel pretty fast :)

Yummy, the Spuffy is beginning. Will she have to burn down the gym in this AU? I think having vampire guards for the Slayer is such a good idea. More story please.

aww thats cute and great.. love it

hehehe i like them annoying each other

good update, enjoying the tale. thanks

liked this chapter a lot, their conversation was good...i like how you've changed the history of Spike's relationship with Nikki...i could see that happening...even in the show their dynamic seemed similar to Spike and Buffy's...this story is very very good :)

good update, despite "an apparent taste for poofters"

ooh. great chappie!!

ewwww.....Buffy drooling over Angel is just wrong ;)

Ack! She's got a taste for poofters. Spike is still funny and Angelus is still broody. Will Buffy get smarter? More story please.

Ewwww.... bangel.....

i like this so much!! I love the way you've brought all the characters together in this very unique world, i loved Buffy and Spike's first meeting, but please let her get over the whole angel-crush thing really quick!! :) lol

nikolai, like spike, probably does not take direction well. good read. thanks

LOL, you gave swpike an equaly obnoxious friend???? Damn good ficcie :P

Will there be Spuffy soon? Will Angelus emerge as his true scummy self? More story please.

very different from anything I have read. really liked it, please update soon

well this was fun....now things will get more spuffy....I also hope to get some more story of some of the slayers that has come and gone since Helena

Ewwwww.... Nikolai..... *giggles and turns to run from Niko before he catches her*

o0ooooh i like it alot.. i love how you incorporated scenes from the buffy movie.. very nice.. lol

still loving this story and really excited that we're on the edge of spuffiness (i hope)... your original characters are very believable and engaging...really love your story :)

Damn Angel is a cold bastard

arggghhh!!! its great!! love it.. but i really need to see some spuffy!!

How very sad, loved the Helena character she seemed like such a wonderful girl.

Pretty sad. Can Spike stay tame enough to go with Angelus and Caden and guard the new Slayer? More story please.

wow..that's harsh :( poor Spike, poor Helena...love the dialogue with the children...can't wait to see what happens next :)

great update, even considering helena's fate. very enjoyable read. thanks

are we closer to sparie???

oh yeah loving this one so far :P

sooo good!! I love the trial thing, didn't see it coming til the end...love the sparring match...i really love this story! :)

Can Spike be tamed so soon after his turning? I think some other kind of dance with the Slayer might work better but that's just my DOL talking.

I love this chapter very nice, how much more will be spent in the past and when will it move to Spuffy? Not that I mind I like these new characters of Helena and Caden.

Awwww, you mentioned me *faints* When do we get to the sparie??

just started this fine fic. really enjoying the read, thanks. why am i sure that helena, who i really like, is n't going to be around long?

Damn good ficcie :P

oh i hope he doesn't get in trouble!! :( *worried* please change canon when it comes to what happened with his mom! this is so good, i'm on to the next chappie :)

Get to Marie! hehe :P

OK, loving this one :P

I love this twist on canon...so good....you dusted Dru! Bit of a shock but it's interesting, having him turned by souled Angel instead...and I love how his Slayer friend actually brought about the events unknowingly, urging him to tell Cecily how he felt....hooked on this :) on to the next chapter :)

Oooo yay! Dru dust!!

Very interesting turn of events. How will William react?? Looking forward to more. thanks

Well interesting to say the least. Love the twist you put on it. Can't wait to see where this leads.

Spike Pratt?!?! Is this going to be a funny story?

Good beginning

very interesting first chapter... i'm off to read the next now :)

Is this the one with me in it? *dances*

I like the concept! William as watcher, very nice.
