Glad that I did not let my bais against the BAS sexual triad keep me from reading this work - I really like how you changed the events of this period in Sunnydale. 

Like your style very much -

I stil felt like this was more of a Angelus/Buffy fic than Spuffy :( Even though I love the story (I actually like the Angelus/Buffy pairing also), I felt that Spike was like a rebound for her or something. Poor Spike ;(
Either way, really good story, more porn than plot, but really well done.

I am purely upset about only one thing;Spike thinkin' that Buffy used him and Buffy thinkin' Spike used her. It could've ended in a better way,more Spuffy and less stuffy,maybe.But it was nice and I enjoyed it.

the ending is perfect. it sets up nicely for the next seasons and is a believable and realistic ending to the fic. it also adds such an interesting twist to the dracula episode. i especially like how you show spike throughout the fic, sort of desperate and confused and finally determined with a side of "protest too much." but could willow honestly keep her mouth shut?

09/07/2006 02:43 am
28: End Game         
well then we all know spike will be back, but I really love the "behind closed doors story." Although of course willow would have had to keep her mouth shut all this time too. but maybe after sleeping with buffy she'd be inclined to, I certainly think it could have put her on the path to Tara. I would have liked to have at least seen Buffy and Spike end up together though.
Thanks for sticking with it and leaving all these wonderful reviews. Not only are you a great writer, you are a terrific reader and reviewer too! See you on the boards.

Yeah, I got a lot of flack about the ending not being "Spuffy" enough. But I think it adds a whole new dimension to the coming seasons. And even in the show they don't ever really wind up TOGETHER together. That would take away from the drama and angst of it all.

I really enjoyed reading your work! Thanks for putting in the effort for the rest of us to appreciate. Yes, I would have loved a Spuffier ending, but I agree that it was realistic considering the characters.
Thanks so much Tina. Glad you enjoyed.

*nods* The end was indeed a surprise, not what I expected. ~ I enjoyed reading so far; thanks for sharing.
Thanks cordykitten. You have been a faithful reviewer, and I appreciate that. I thought I had given away the suspense of the ending by starting to incorporate episode dialogue, but I guess everyone was too far immersed in this version of events to see the parallels. So glad I could suprise you. I hate predictable endings (or sad endings). Thanks again.

Nice ending, I think you did a great job, and I hope you write something else soon.
Thanks, and yes I should be posting something else soon, I've been talking to Dia about it, but need to see if I can get permissions for it or how to do it since it is continuinig something someone else started.

Sorry, ends back at canon. So, probably no sequel. I will start posting a new fic soon though. Thanks for the support.

I can't wait to see what happens. *bites nails* I hope Spike shows her he cares for her during all the upcoming killing of Angelus. I love this chap. Thanks for the update.
Boy, everyone wants to see the big bloody end of Angelus. Can't think why.

they were both vampires. Duh, Buffy. Evil writer, please give this girl a big does of Smart pills.
It's hard to believe someone you care about could do something evil.

Come on! Get to the maiming of Angelus!
More than that!!

26. The Beginning of the End         
I really like this chapter. I especially like how you are keeping things on canon in places. It makes it more interesting of how they got to that point, love the explanation of why Angelus snapped Jenny's neck. Also love spike's story about why he didn't drain his second slayer.
Thanks. I always thought it odd how Angelus killed Jenny - and why Spike didn't drain Nikki Wood. Glad you didn't find the explantions took away from the story.

I was able to finally catch up on your wonderful fic. I think this is an amazing story and I can't wait to see what you do next. You have kept me on the edge of my seat and completely enthralled by the entire thing.
Thanks so much. I am glad that you have enjoyed it. After the next post, there is only one more chapter to go, and all your questions will be answered.

Nice to see Buffy in pure slayer mode and that she'd had enough of Angelus. Good, she still believes in Spike. Wondering what direction that you're going to take Angelus? Canon or AU? Can't wait to find out. Love it! Great read, thanks.
Yes, back to the Buffy we all know. And yes, she still has some faith in Spike. You'll see what direction the story takes soon.

08/10/2006 12:49 am

Nice - the Slayer has returned! Excellant story! I absolutly adored this chapter!
Yes, she is still the Buffy we all know - despite have been through the emotional ringer.

You really made me not only dislike your Buffy but to lose respect for her - I should have known where this was all going with the first time she accepted that there was anyway that she could have a relationship with Angelus - 

Your Buffy is a right foolish person - wanting her fantasy to be real and accepting any hogwash to make it be real and acceptable.

Interesting development on Nikki Wood's death.
Yeah, I kinda thought it needed more explanation than it got on the show. I thought about cutting it from the scene, but decided I liked it. If I was any good as a writer I probabaly couldhave done a whole story about it, but I don't think I will.

So she did it because she care's for both of them? but that should make it harder not easier, especially since she's young. She's not emotionally ready for an adult relationship like that, most adults can't handle something like that. Great chapter, alot of things to handle in a short time. Like Giles!
Well, Buffy is very confused at this point in her life, and easily led by those she trusts - unfortunately for her one of those people is Angelus, which just can't work out well...

08/07/2006 02:56 am
25: Choosing Sides         
shakes head - poor buffy she must be so confused. great chapter sweetie!
Buffy has a tough time in this fic - remember she is only just turned 17.

08/07/2006 01:10 am

*grumbles* she better be getting ready to dust the poofter
You know she can't possibly end up with Angelus...

It's not too hopeful to think that Giles could just have a lucky day and do in Angelus could it? heehee I feel bad for Spike, always so unsure of the love directed toward him. Great update, look forward to more.
Yes, at this point neither Buffy nor Spike is certain of the other's feelings for them, nor really, of their own feelings towards one another.

24. An Inconvenient Truth         
awwwwwwwwwwww i'm torn. part of me wants her to be with just spike and part of me wants her to be with both spike and angelus. He might be an evil sadistic bastard but in his own twisted way he cares for her and wants to be with her.
I kinda agree. I think he does care for Buffy as much as it is possible for him to given his nature. I mean what girl wouldn't want two totally hot and devoted lovers? (I'll give Angelus hot - even though I think Angel is a real dweeb. Kinda like old Wesley and the new improved version on AtS).

08/03/2006 12:06 am
24. An Inconvenient Truth         
Oouch - Angel(us) is just evil - evil - I know he doesn't see it that way but it doesn't matter if it is Angel or Angelus - either one wants what he thinks is best for her and will manipulate her into doing whatever the heck that he wants. I truly hope that she recieves help soon, she cant deal with this on her own.
Yes, without lying at all, both Angel and Angelus are a master a lies. And both want to control everything and everyone around them - especially Buffy. I always thought that one of the reasons Spike is so superior is that he is honest with Buffy and himself.

08/02/2006 10:41 pm
24. An Inconvenient Truth         
OMG! Is she starting to turn??
See if this next chapter helps you see what direction this is going.

08/02/2006 10:30 pm
24. An Inconvenient Truth         
Wow! he is a master at manipulation. She may crave fangs but he's not the only one to provide that service. Do I sence more Spuffyness too? Soon? I hope so. You can't update this fast enough for me, I love it so much. Thanks.
Thanks Verda, and you're right. If that's all she needed/wanted, Spike would of course be a much better choice. But would he be willing to do that to her?

23. The Harsh Light of Day         
Pretty disgusting Buffy so far - I sure hope that it is not Drusilla who actually killed Jenny and you give Buffy and Out and an excuse for keeping her relationship with Angelus going.  And Spike does not come across any much better by going along as second string vampire and sex toy for the pleasure of Angelus or Buffy.  LOL at this point I would not mind if Drusilla did them all in.  

08/13/2006 04:50 am
23. The Harsh Light of Day         
Buffy appears to be completely delusional. Joyce approve of Angel? Not likely.
Yeah, I agree with this comment. But then sometimes we can convince ourselves all kinds of ridiculous things because we want them to be true.

07/31/2006 05:27 pm
23. The Harsh Light of Day         
OH MY! Things were going so well - how dare he screw it up - I liked the hot action and now he had to go and screw up my threesome fantasies. I really like how you are handleing Angelus - he is playing her and we forget that and then he does this. He is evil. I hope that Spike helps her and proves to her that at least one demon can be trusted! Excellant excellant fiction - I am truly loving this story!
I don't really think he sees himself as evil. He wants what he wants, and does what he needs to make it happen. I also think that he plain just doesn't understand the distinction between good and evil. In his mind there are only things that are good for him or bad for him, but no absolutes. Therefore I think he doesn't really understand why Buffy has a problem with it once you hear his explanation. (Which BTW he slants his own way, because he doesn't want to tell Buffy the whole truth - that the gypsy was planning on re-souling him.)

I hope she's not gunning for Spike as well.
Hmm, we'll see. I think Spike is lucky that he is still feigning injury, or he might have been put in a difficult situation. We will get a chance to see what Spike and Buffy have to say to one another in chapter 25.

07/31/2006 07:00 am
23. The Harsh Light of Day         
That was stupid of Angelus but who ever said he was smart. I see that she hasn't said anything about Spike and I'm taking that as a good thing. Great chapter, update as soon as you can.
Well, maybe he could have handled the murder better - as it not so flamboyantly and obvioulsy. But he is arrogant, and I guess he has some sense of honor in that he is not really sneaky in that way. I mean, he doesn't really lie, just lets people draw their own conclusions. As far as he is concerned, he had no choice but to stop her, she was going to re-curse him.

07/31/2006 05:17 am
23. The Harsh Light of Day         
Yes! Kill Angelus!
Good things sometimes come to those who wait...

07/31/2006 03:42 am
23. The Harsh Light of Day         
I am sorry it took something so terrible to wake Buffy up from this haze she was in,maybe now she will see the truth. Another great chappie!!!!
Well, Angelus does have an answer for everything, we'll see if she buys it. Of course he can't really tell Buffy the truth - that Jenny was going to re-soul him and he HAD to stop her or he was as good as dead.

She's going back to the mansion? How stupid is this girl, anyway. Great chapter. Very hot.
Yeah, I got a lot of comments about her being portayed as too stupid. I prefer to see it as young and trusting. We were all there once.

07/31/2006 05:21 pm
22. The Morning After the Night Before         
Poor Buffy - how is she suppose to resist that? I mean it made me hot and I just read it - I mean it was freaking amazingly hot. I would not be able to resist the duo at this point.
I agree. They're making it hard for her to say no. And really, who would want to. Everything seems to be going her way. But of course that can't last.

07/31/2006 02:39 am

You really did pull out all the stops on that chapter, fantastic! Angelus is the ultimate con. With the twenty plus years that he and Spike spent together, they do have they're act down, no matter if they were with Darla and/or Dru. They really did a number on her, he got just what he wanted...she's thinking about it. Awesome chapter, girl! can't wait 'til the next update.
Thanks, Verda. I'll give you a challenge if you want. Re-read that chapter and see if you can see what I implied that Buffy missed (being naive). First person to write me a review with the correct answer and I'll email you ALL THE REST OF THE CHAPTERS!

Just caught up this evening. Buffy is being manipulated by a master of the game. How is Spike going to wake her up to the flim flam? More story please.
Everyone seems to think that Spike is going to have to open Buffy's eyes. Fortunately the Pooter will be forced to show his true self soon and Buffy will start seeing some things more clearly.

This may not be your strong suit, but you did an excellent job. More would certainly be okay with me *nudge nudge* And Angelus is just a right manipulative bastard isn't he? First the not-quite-agreement that they need to stop drinking her blood, and then getting her to ask for it herself. Looking forward to the next update.
Thanks, and I took the hint and give you more. And yes, in case any of you were worried, Angelus is a right bastard, and we'll see more of his true colors soon.

Wow! that was hot! hot! hot! If he thought that Angelus would share "alot", maybe Spike won't mind his plan, but he knows the poofer too well, so he might have to convince Buffy, it's a bad plan. Very sexy update. Great read.
Thanks for the rave reviews. Because you liked it, I give you more...

Nice update. Worth waiting for. Are we finally going to get our threesome??? *giggles with excitement* And if she thinks that Angelus agreed to stop drinking her blood, she's incredibly naive. Of course throughout this entire story, she's been incredibly naive. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Okay emilee, here's what you've been waiting for. I don't think it's my forte, so it's been a while in the works, but I hope you like it. If you leave me another review, I may add some more to the next chapter...

Don't tell me they plan on making a movie in their private room after dinner? or is it just my bad self thinking of having naked Spike on film? *smile's evilly*. I really like this story, I'm glad I came back. Update as soon as you can!
Hey, not a bad idea... But really, I was just trying to infer that it is supposed to be a normal 'date.' Which of course it won't be. But maybe I will find a way to work in your suggestion.

07/05/2006 09:38 pm
20. Dinner and a movie         
Buffy's head must be spinning! I know mine would be from Angelus' attempted wooing. Can't wait to see how this works out.
Poor Buffy really is not prepared to handle this type of situation at this point in her life. She's not yet the strong self assured woman she will be later - she's still a naive just turned 17 girl in high school - even if she does have wicked vampire slaying skills.

nooooooooo but now buffy and spike can't be together forever unless you find her another nifty way at immortality. :)
Don't really comment on that much in this story (and its not really gonna matter much in so far as this fic goes) but I love the way some other authors have handled it. If I ever get around to it, I have another fic based on this premise (Buffy's immortality) that also involves B/S/A that you might like, its a one shot right now, and just begging for me, but I am in the midst of some other projects...you know how that goes.

Verda
07/06/2006 04:33 am
19. Promises         
I understand that she's young and a little naive but she can't seriously want to stay with Angelus and...what? stop slaying, not live with her mom anymore, quit school? Stay with someone who would share her with another, even if it is hot and sexy Spike? Angelus would never treat her with emotion the way that Spike did, loving her body instead of just taking it. If he ever found out that she trusted Spike and not him, he'd dust Spike and turn her! Either way Angelus wins and it's all about the winning with him. Really good chapter.
Yes, I agree it is about winning (and possessing) for Angelus. But no one said anything about her quitting slaying, school or leaving her home (at least not right away). IF she can have her life the way she wants it, and the wicked good sex too, why not? I don't think she sees Angelus the way we do - at least not yet. And yes, I agree that Angelus would not react well to finding out just how close she is getting to Spike, even if he did facilitate it (at least in the beginning).

Subconsciously Buffy already knows which vampire has honor and which does not. She trusts Spike whereas she can never trust Angelus. Really excellent well done chapter!

Don't know what he's up to but we know that he could care less about Spike. Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve. Another very good chapter.
Angelus lies so often and so well, its impossible to tell what is true and what isn't. Not even Spike can tell. Heck, Angelus may not know himself. In truth, I don't think he cares about anyone or anything except his own selfish desires, which are changeable as the wind.

18. Revelations         
Wow! I didn;t see that coming at all! But completly believable and logical. I wonder how Spike is going to react once he has a chance to think about this. Really good sweetie I can't wait for more!
I think Spike has mixed emotions towards Angelus. Especially after what he has just been through. Then again, there is the whole issue of trust. I mean really, can anyone believe anything Angelus says?

18. Revelations         
Ewwwww. Good twist. There's not going to be Spangel is there, because, I repeat, Ewwww.
Some reviews like the Spangel implications, others like you, not. But really, if you were Angelus given a choice, wouldn't you want both Buffy and Spike?

18. Revelations         
Ouch, what a position to be put in! Lovin' it as usual, more please.
What position? Who? That Angelus wants Spike to choose him and Buffy over Dru?

Of course Angelus wants both of them! He'd probably prefer all four, like he had with the Scourge of Europe, but sometimes you have to take what you can get!

Does a rock have to fall on Buffy's head? He's made into a sex toy for two of his buddies and yet, she's still having doubts. Really liked the part where she's starting to wonder if there is a difference between Angel and Angelus. I'm reminded of Angel's line, "I said I was a friend, I didn't say I was yours."

More more more, please wicked author.
The rock will eventually fall - it just has to be hard enough for her to actually feel it. And that line of Angel's sounds like it could have come straight from Angelus' mouth. Not so different as he wants us to believe. P.S. been called a lot of things, but never 'wicked author.' Thanks.

Buffy's got herself a HUGE whopping case of denial. Is it just young, naive love, or is it just being stupid about her man? Good read, but when do we get the the unadulterated spuffy?
As far as Buffy goes, it's probably both. The Spuffy needs to wait some more (sorry. But the challenge was B/S/A(us).

I think she says a few snarky things - not sure if its this chapter or the one I have yet to post. Being Buffy, she doesn't really give Spike any credit. Of course, its got to make a difference in how she regards him just the same. I mean, he could join in with Dru.

Dru is fun to write, and I see her as more self-centered and crazy than evil. Angelus has his own agenda. He may have gone a bit too far with this one, but he had his reasons, and it accomplished his goal (more on that later). Kisses.

Yeah, that is the problem I'm running into - hard to think of too many more excuses for her to let him live. Earlier drafts had Angelus far too sympathetic and more Angel-like. Now I think maybe he has gone too far the other direction. I mean, how stupid is she? I'm working on it!

*Blushes* You are to sweet! I cant believe I got thanked in the chappie. I was kinda distraught to find out there was no more to read *pouts*

But I tell you I really loved this chapter. I feel so sorry for Buffy - at least she knows that this strange realtionship she has with Angelus is not her fault. I can't believe the bastard locked her into a room with Dru. That is just quite horrible - poor buffy left at the hands of an insane vampriess. Shakes head... I cannot wait until this ficcie is updated, it is quite intriguing and interesting. Very different premise then many I have read. *hugs* very well done sweetie!
I am trying to get it done as posted ASAP, since I know RL is about to get very busy, so probably updates every other day or so if I can manage it. I know exactly where this is going, but want to make sure all the intermediate steps continue to make sense and keep the character's consistent. FYI - I really am grateful for your many reviews.

I really like this blood angle. So basically the only person she's had sex with, of her own totally free will is Spike right? (well sort of free will, not drug induced anyway) hehe ok now I can see how this works, cause at first I was like "how are we gonna shift loyalties from angelus to spike?" I mean I still wouldn't mind her with angelus cause i'm a sick puppy, but this is making a lot of sense. great plot developments!

"Willow giggled. “And Spike? Did he take you skating too?”

LMAO LOVE that line! :)

Buffy and Willow? Hmm.. guess those blood viles must have a kick. How did that happen? Can we back track, cause I don't know how they went from shot of blood a-la Buffy to shot of cum a-la Buffy...

Ok I just cracked myself up. Ha. No but seriously, how did that happen? Good stuff. Update soon?
As we know from the series, the blood is a strong aphrodisiac. The vampires all know this. As it happens, it has the same affect on non-vampires who happen to taste it. And it may also be addictive. Does that answer your question?

05/10/2006 07:31 pm
13. Experimentation can be fun         
WooHoo, didn't see that development coming. They had to find out some way though, but Lord they are gonna be confused. Good writing though, bring on the next chappie.
Yeah, I think that answered their question. Really, I'm kinda surprized I haven't seen more done with this fact. I mean, unlike its possibly being addictive (we know the bite is addictive), but nothing specific has ever been said about Slayer blood besides the healing and aphrodisiac properties, nor any mention of how it might affect a non-vampire.

That was... ewwe... Buffy and Willow? Ewww... But I must say it served the purpose of the story. After all there was no other object for this experiment. Seems logical. But still... ewww :)
Yeah, I tried not to be too graphic, cause not really doing it for me either. Your response does kinda beg the question whether Willow might not have considered that type of reaction (with being so smart and all), and then went ahead and did the experiment anyway, cause she was maybe hoping something like that would happen. Not something I'd thought of.

05/10/2006 10:09 am

Wonder what Angelus has been up to with Spike. I've got a feeling there was punishment and hope Buffy finds out.

Damn I sure hope Buffy thinks about the difference in the two vampires and chooses wisely! Angelus is a bully and a jerk who obviously doesn't care for her a bit or he would never have given her to Spike. Spike didn't have to be tender, etc. and was. His words of consolation after were not what she should have expected either. Hope this was a wake up call for her.

Excellent update for this wonderfully done story.

Kathleen
She was also nicer to Spike than she probably needed to be - and as the saying goes, as you sow so shall you reap. Of course given the option, we'd all choose Spike over Angel, Angelus, or anyone else! But will Buffy? And what will Angelus (and Spike) have to say about it?

Sorry it's been so long since I've read your story, but honestly, I got frustrated with it. Since this is the first story I've read of yours, I didn't feel that comfortable with where you were taking it and I needed a break. Like a movie or a book, a person needs to trust the people that create it and the actors that perform it. The trust is slowly building here for me, as your muse takes you where you need to go with your story my trust is taking me there as well. I hope you understand. Thanks for the good read.

Like I said, I don't feel one bit sorry for her. She'll get what she deserves. Another good chapter.
yeah, I've gotten some complaints that Buffy is too wishy washy. My feeling is she's just young, vulnerable, confused, and outclassed by a vampire more than 20 times her age.

05/14/2006 12:36 pm
8. Obedience, part 2         
Wow that was a twist I didn't see coming. Buffy backed into a corner asks to be killed because she knows she will never be able to survive Angelus if he tries to kill her, which he will... I really like it - just a wonderful twist - great update so far!
Thanks again. Buffy's fear of being turned just seems like such a basic part of her personality - choosing unlife would make things so much easier for her.

8. Obedience, part 2         
Yes, Buffy you're supposed to be killing these bums. Fine time to think about that. Love the story.
Yeah, kinda strayed pretty far from the Slayery path. But you know what it's like when you don't get along with your boyfriend's friends p you have to make compromises.

Not bloody likely! Spike's smart enough to KNOW how Angelus would deal with him if he even tried! Poor Buffy doesn't understand Angelus OR Spike at this point but she IS starting to think/learn.

EXCELLENT Kick ass chapter!!!!!

Oh Spuffy sex! I can't wait - I love how you are writing the characters in this fiction. Agelus, Buffy and Spike - so far I can see them doing everything you have written. Buffy at this point of her life, is young and mallable - she wants so badly to believe things will work out, happy *sigh* Great update!

Thanks. People seem to have one of two opposite reactions to the plot - either they think it's fun and different, or they think it's all logical. I guess that's good, because I was trying to go for both.

Good grief! I'm happy that Buffy may get to know Spike now but hopefully he will educate her. She's seriously retarded if she thinks that being punished by Angelus in house full of vampires might be a fun sex fest. More story please.
As far as that goes, I don't think she was thinking that anyone else would be invited. But yes, things could get seriously worse for Buffy that being forced to be with Spike. Something she will eventually figure out.

04/13/2006 05:47 am
6. Confrontation         
"she’d hid herself in her room and read dirty books, watched porn and masturbated with grocery products." Good God you've exposed MY teenage years!!! LOL

You have pointed out something often missed....Buffy was a teenaged girl, vapid and silly as we all are at that age and Angel (or Angelus) was a "mature" man....the attraction made no sense from his standpoint, except for her innocence. Angelus AND Liam loved to despoil innocents....looks like Angel had a similar desire. No wonder that was his moment of perfect happiness!

Oh my......Spike as punishment.....please let me be naughty!!! Of course right now Spike may be more interested in wacking her around and maybe having a bit of Slayer blood than sex, but a girl COULD get lucky.

More please! Loving this story. You have concocted an intoxicating story that actually seems in character so far.

Kathleen
Thanks for the long and wonderful review. I agree, I think a lot of Buffy's appeal for Angel/Angelus is the idea of dispoiling innocence, as well as dominating her strength.

And yes, Spike is probably not disposed to be kind to Buffy now - she is the one who put him in the wheelchair- but on the other hand...well, we'll see.

I'm with you there - but Buffy doesn't see it that way. Angelus isn't as smart as he thinks he is, but there is a method to his madness, which we'll find out about chapter 11.

As you'll see, Angelus is too good at planning for his own good. He likes to set things up so he wins either way things go. A much more evil and thorough planner than our impetuous Spike.

Yeah, it just occurred to me that the mayor and crew would be in town during season 2, it's just that Buffy wouldn't know anything about it until later. But of course they'd be privy to anything important that happened and want to maintain the status quo re the oblivious Slayer.

oh my god. As manipulative and evil as he is (and hey...I like my men a little evil), he wants her to love Angelus not Angel. You gotta feel a bit sorry for him.

I also love the way you are highlighting the similarities in Angel and Angelus and also their differences.

It's slightly hard to believe he'd stop killing, but drinking nightly from a slayer over harming innocents sounds possible. He'll still need to get violence in though. It's part of his nature. Angelus can't be collared in quite the same way Spike can.
Thank you. It was a fine line to walk to make Angelus evil but plausbile, and as you say, just the slightest bit sympathetic. I like Angelus over Angel any day - at least he is honest. As to stopping killing - he'd probably be content with slaughtering other demons, just as Spike is, provided his other needs are being met.

Will there be an end to the Bangel soon? WTF is up with Angelus acting nice? This Angelus is from another dimension.
Thanks for sticking with it through the icky Bangle parts. Yes, the Bangle is ending soon (sort of). And although Angelus has a few tender moments, I wouldn't exactly call him nice. He just has a different agenda, which should be obvious if you want to know - just read the challenge.

Yeah, I always thought that since Spike and Dru 'grew up' among a menage a quatra, that would seem kind of natural to them both - it certainly seems to be Dru's ambition to get all four of them back together again.

Please don't try and make him something that he never was! Nice, considerate or understanding!!! Still a good story though. Thanks for the challenge.
I am trying for a little ambiguity, for Buffy's sake, I think she needs to see him that way. Doesn't mean that is's true. But there is some conflict w/i Angelus. I just don't buy that there is no crossover between Angel/Angelus while Spike remains nearly the same w or w/o soul.

Very intriguing start! I like the manipulation of Buffy going on here and how the vamped old lady was so nice, even with her making passes - lol - great story so far!
Thanks, I wanted to call into question the early canon assumption that vampire = beast. This is only the beginning of Angelus' scheming nature - you have to admit, his plans usually work out better than Spike's because he is more deliberate and less impetuous.

Oh dear. If the Wankers' Council wasn't so full of shit, it might be possible for somebody to have a clue here. Angel is not in Angelus; Angelus is in Angel and Liam now. More story please.

Evil evil Angelus. Quite believable with both characters. I look forward to reading this one.

Kathleen
I hope you continue to find it believable - sometimes it was a little stretch. That's why it took me so long from conception to print - it needed to be believable and not err too far in either direction. A tender Angelus is unconvincing, but Buffy and evil Angelus seems just as far fetched.
