Really, very cute. Loved this story, laughed out loud at some parts, loved the dialogue, especially Spike's. Wish we got an epilogue, and at least the declarations of love... I think both of them deserve to hear they are lived and we the readers would love to know they found out. Really enjoyed it, thanks!

 

Very lovely tale.

NICE READ - I don't read enough of the comedy or lighter fair in Spuffy Realm -

Second reading for me, and I enjoyed it even more with having seen the Parker -Buffy cycle for our episode discussions -

 Funniest story I've read in ages!  I love it very much--darn shame there's not more!  Definately needs to be nominated for a Major Prize.

Really enjoyed the tone and tenor of this. It's sweet without being off character..anyway loads of fun    

excellent conclusion, love, glad it all worked out for them...this whole story has been incredible :) *hugs*

Truly loved it, beginning to end! You gave a really unique spin to the Beer Bad story arc.  Enjoyably, Buffy seemed younger and a bit ditzier than the S4 Buffy we know; more like she was possibly, in S1.  Your Spike, tho' indeed a softy, couldn't help his innate
evil-ness showing thru at times...you portrayed his lack of
attention-span, hyperactivity & ubersexuality wonderfully!  Even technically evil he comes off as a sweetie. The banter about minions was priceless! 
The Watcher's Diaries glimpses were intriguing.  Lady Vicky was wonderfully spunky, ill-behaved, and unmanageable.  The ending bit was sweet, even if the poor old codger (oops, sorry, the codger was Travers), was bumbling around Bedlam or somesuch.
I think you need to write a sequel, as you need to update us as to the effects of the combination of the discounted lingerie and Anya's gift of Frimwurst !!!  There surely MUST be something to come of that??? (Probably in about  9 months or so...) I think THIS Spike would make a hellaciously harried father, totally overrun by any prodgeny, especially if female; and would also be done in by any & all females of his newfound family & circle of friends! (Aw, c'mon--I could just picture this Spike pulling his hair out a' la Steve Martin as a new father)...
Thanks for the read and the mind mini-vacation!

Ok, first off loved the story and second there has to be a sequel right? I mean come on there has to be something that happens with the  Firmwert statue glowing.

very entertaining wrap up to the tale.  loved anya' s gift.  thanks for the fun. (in last review it was not what you wrote, but what i assumed. that she  (vicky) had to be dead for a new slayer to be called.

Hahaha, Frimwerst. And the pimp chain as magical big bad evil-remover? Genius.

Fab ending, S_T. Deftly handled from start to finish, and I just love the way you write these two. I've been reccing this wherever I can, btw.

Looking forward to whatever you decide to write next.

I loved it!!!!!!

Oh sweet, please tell me there is more. I love it.

This was a great story, but now we need an epilogue to tell us about the necklace and the statue(evil grin)!  I really have enjoyed this and look forward to other stories soon.  Thanks.

I think having Willow and Tara magic them out of the trouble was...kind of a cop-out.  Otherwise, I really liked this story.  Enjoyed the stuff about the other slayer at the beginning of each chapter.  Really wonder what happened to her after the hat.  :)  I'm sure she fot it, after all.  
Nice work, but for the quibble. 

Sad to see it end, hope to something new from you soon!

it's already finished :S I really think I'll miss this story; but the thing with the fertility god statue and Spike's new necklace can be food for the muse to start a sequel :D I really hope so :P In any case, I really enjoyied your story and can't wait to read your next one ;-)

Serafimo Guttierez dropped his new construction company’s bid for repairs to the mall and the putas’ underwear store and dropped it into his fax machine. He pushed the send button.

Quizas los vampiros no eran tan malos.

**Dies laughing!! **

Thanks for a wonderful read from start to finish.

The perfect ending -- especially with the glowing Frimwort!

Thanks for the story, it was fun to follow.  I notice you left some loose ends - glowing fertility penis for example. :)  Any thoughts on a sequel?  Hmm... does the claim make her immortal?  Will she and Spike meet up with Vicky and Jonathan?  Are they related somehow?
Anyway, even if there is no sequel, it was a fun ride.  Thanks. 

Lovely.  Really enjoyed the ride. 

Kathleen

And a perfect happy ending! Now will there be a sequel? Parker is still out there and you said you had plans? Hmm?

Shit! I just saw this was posted and I have to go... well *shrugs* guess I'll have to read it at work tomorrow!!!

xxx

Buffy kept Spike quessing all the way, didn"t she? Well, I love all the retail hell in this story. Shopping IS a bit silly, even tho owning stuff is nice.

things are getting really exciting...hope they can stop the council guys...poor spike, he really took a beating from that cleotus guy...hope that doesn't have too bad an effect on the fight still to come...off to read the next chapter :)

“Sure. Once the claim’s over.” poor giles. don't believe he and buffy are on the same page.  just as mrs. blodeuwedd ronwen giles didn't realize the council murdered their slayer to call a new one. very good read, thank you.

 Just to let you know I am enjoying this so much.  The Watcher's Journal almost more than the story!

uh oh...

Loved Cleotus' dusting.  very gross.

Oh no, why do I see her claiming Spike right then and there.

thank you for the update.

...Another great update.... Wheeeee!!!!!!

Me likey! just as she was going to do it, the council appears. Perfect cliff-hanger (though am now v desperate for the next chapter, meh!)

Great fight! Can't wait for the showdown.

Just love the fight. The twins just didn't know what they were playing with when they went after Spike. And to have Cleotus find out the hard way as well was just too funny. And what was Lydia doing at the mall? And Giles had to help save Spike. Too funny. What in the world does the council think they are doing at the mall. They are going to cause more problems than just letting the night come ang go. Love the final entry of the watcher's journal. Great chapter.

She was planning to returning the claim! Nothing like a marriage in the middle of the mall LOL.

Nasty Watcher wankers would have to show up! Going to have to get rid of the uninvited guests and get on with the ceremony.

Kathleen

God, woman, you're killing me! The way Buffy said 'once the claim is over' I was all but cheering since I got that (combined with her hugging his neck) to mean that she wouldn't let the claim expire... And now those Council gits are there?

Gaaaaah! You've got me hooked and -as always- begging for more!

XXX

Uh, oh! How will you get them out of that?! Thanks for the story.

Really loved this showdown with the twins. Great fight descriptions! Hopefully Lydia will come to Spike's rescue? And Parker still needs to be dealt with. So eagerly looking forward to the next chapter!

 

i actually feel kind of bad for giles, because he's really trying to protect her...but hopefully they'll be able to bring him around...on to the next chapter :)

giles can't help himself. he is an ass. fun read, thank you.

Parker survived to do more damage. (Groan.) What's he up to with the stolen lighter?

The 1612 letter (pre Webster) is hilarious!

Gotta love a manipulative, physically and verbally bullying Spike. Great chapter Char.

Teeheehee!! I lub dis urly wacher. I had to spend some time translating his prose. Who gets to dust Parker the prat?

Okay, is there some magical curse thing on the lingerie shop?? That everyone is suddenly there and being all weird? lol

Well that was a fun development, fisticuffs in the lingerie emporium!

The plot thickens... Delicious update!!!!

Gah! How do you do it every single time? How can you have me laughing and worrying at the same time?
And what is Parker gonna do with Spike's lighter?
And what's with Willow?
And can the claim not-EVER expire?
And why do I keep asking questions the answer to which will probably be "You'll find out at some point?"

Oh, and loved it, in case that wasn't clear by my rambling!

xxx

What a comic scene! LOl Love Giles and Joyce shopping (and Willow and Tara so close to being outed). Parker lives to be pummeled another day (and since he stole Spike's lighter it might be Spike next). Very funny.

Kathleen

OH that was good, wonder if they realize Parker is gone, and if Buffy managed to get the Twins.

 

yes, of course sunday and rosamund would be at the mall :P hehe...that's a relief that buffy wasn't really gonna stake him...another great chapter, on to more :)

“Grand Opening and Midnight Madness Sale – Sunnydale Mall.” only on the hellmouth. that was hilarious. very good read, thank you.

Sweet chapter Char, definitely like the Spuffy interaction here. I wonder if she'll break the claim?

Have I told you how much I love this story? I enjoy "Cave Buffy" and feel she should have had more screen time.

Such a married couple these two are!!! A realy hoot. Yes, Buffy is remaking Spike just like a new wife is often tempted to do. Of course his being love's bitch will make it easy.

I can see Lydia and Joyce getting on.

Buffy will be thrilled to have Parker thrown in for free when the twinks are stake fodder.

Kathleen

thanks for the update.

Man she just can't stay away from him. What in the world is she doing keeping him close? And Spike trying to use her to get rid of his minion? I am just so glad that Lydia is trying to help them even behind the scenes. And the scene at the store was just too funny.

Thank you for the awesome update!!!!

OH I wonder if she will find them, and if Lydia will find Buffy in time.

Who was peeking in the window??

Who was peeking in the window??

Waiting for the fashionista show down!

Showdown at the Mall! Can't wait.

I can't wait to see how this all plays out... But you, evil-evil writer will make me, I know:P
I love this story, literally cannot get enough!

PS. No Parker bashing? are you running a fever? LOL
XXX

gah...no way...she's got to be kidding, right? she wouldn't...what an awful cliffie to leave it on...excellent chapter, love :P off to the next :)

love what you have done with the weasel parker. good chapter and thoughtful ending. thank you

Really loving the way you write humiliated Parker! He's such a loser.

Gaaaahhhh I don't have any real fear she'll dust Spikey...she Wuves him already and we all know it! I think it wil be neat to be free of the claim when she decides to claim HIM though...yup, that'd be lovely.

Nice back story. Have a feeling the Council took the doomed lovers out (and made way for Spikes first Slayer for that matter, ironic!).

You are ALMOST making me feel sorry for Parker...no, wait, you're really not *G*

Kathleen

eep

Up the suspense why don't you? Wonder if Buffy (or Spike) knows that they are being watched?

Oh please tell me she does not shot Spike. Oh and the council is there watching is it the wrong girl maybe.

Parker rocks!

Huh??? No-no-no-no-no! I was enjoying the Parker bashing so much, and the watchers want to take the couple out, and now Buffy is aiming a crossbow at Spike??? (please lest her be aiming it at the watchers, or anyone elseeeee!!!

Can't wait for an update! Seriously!

So good! I'm loving pathetic Riley, and the flashbash to the last mated Slayer. :) More please!

...laughed at the incorporation of  "spuffy" term and subsequent willow's  broody angel comment.  

lydia's trying to help...hope she can...excellent chapter, love, the parker bits crack me up...nearly therapeutic to see the little creep get what he deserves...great work, love :)

Just catching up with this now. Sooo great. Love Willow and her pens, Buffy and her hilarious thought process, Spike and his unrepentant evil hotness -- and omg his sniffing and feeling up of Lydia! Love love love! Also, this made me LOL:

Parker ran at an incredible speed across the dark campus quadrangle, in spite of the gunshot wound in his thigh. “Wow, this is cool. I’m like an incredible athlete.”

I love the way you immediately repeat lines in dialog. Comic genius.

trying again (having problems leaving a comment.)  see red is about to help buffy, because red knows best. no, that was robert young. sorry. very good read, thank you. i am certain willow will fix everything. ok, i drink a bit.

Everyone very funny in this chapter. Love it.

Hey Char, good chapter.

Great couple of updates. It's getting really juicy now! Looking forward to more.

This is a great story...it definitly brings a smile to my face. I love the concept of Buffy having to decide if she wants the claim to expire or not.

Plus, I love the fluff and how you're keeping everyone's voices in character.

Awesome job! I can't wait to read more.

Lots of reasons to mope on all sides. Another great chapter!

OH I wonder where she is going to go and if Spike will think about what she said and go and find Buffy, to try and keep them safe.

My Day: Sucky day at work full of annoying stupid people. Drive home behind stupid git who thinks it's ok to go slow in the fast lane. Walk in door to messy house cos hubby and son home alone all day. Grr. Stomp around house a bit. Remember that you update on a Sunday. Sit down to fantastic story that makes me wish my name was Lydia and Spike was sniffing MY neck. Suddenly feel happier. Yay for you, you hunk of burning awesomeness, you! ((hugs))

ew, broody Spike

Naturally he'll read them now that Lydia has gone.

Makes sense for her to have brought them....she is fixated on Spike (smart watcher girl that she is...sees he's special).

Buffy admitted it to Willow! Silly Willy to not realize the Watchers Council are far from perfect in their "facts". They should all know that by now. Wonder what she's planning to leash Spike for Buffy though. Hum...

Kathleen

Well well well, Lydia showed up and tried to do something to help them. I am glad that at least she spoke the words. I would have hoped that it would have been to Spike but at least they are out in the universe. But what will happen now? And really, can Parker be the lamest vampire ever?? HA...

First of all, Parker really is the most pathetic fledge in history, and I loved every minute of him getting ass whopping! LOL for Willow, double LOL for Spuffy, LMAO with Mopey and Broody!

As for the 'awwwwww' part... Awwwww, why can't they see they are in love with each other, complete the claim, and eradicate the Council of Wankers??? (or can they?)

Loved it, as always!

XXX

 

Well, I am sure glad to see Parker as a vampire - will his jaw heal - or will it forever be broeky?

A wonderfully tart piece of writing, with a nicely unregenerate Spike.  Loved the way the three additional substarring vampires were portrayed, and the fact that they weren't moved to center stage helped.  The watcher's diaries were amusing, if a bit over the top.  The conclusion, with Spike and Buffy still keeping important secrets from one another, was great, too, and the word-mangling wit ("withiness," indeed) was pure fun. :)

Lovely. I can't wait...

"Buffy had never seen anyone actually stamp their foot before. Sure, people talked about foot stamping, but no one ever did it."

Are these the greatest and most true words ever uttered? I believe so.

fun read, thank you. they sound like they been together for decades.

oh they're both so ridiculously stubborn :P *sigh* stupid spike and buffy...we'll see how this plays out for them tomorrow night, eh? another wonderful chapter, love :)

Loved the interaction between Buffy and Spike and Buffy and the fledges. But Parker has to go! I don't doubt those sires of his will let him survive long.

This chapter had everything in it! It was funny, it was hot, it kept me on the edge and it made me go 'awwwwww'! Thank you for sharing, I hove you have a very merry Christmas!

XXX

Ohhhhhh Spike is such a poop!!

I'm hoping that girl Parker's going after has a stake and is in a very vengeful frame of mind.

OH that was a good trick, I wonder if she will claim him, or fight him to his death.

You are being so delishiously mean to Parker LOL. Something personal? Most of us had a Parker or two....I'm enjoying the vacarious pain you're putting the Universal Parker through on our behalf.

Yeah, like Buffy can just walk away much less kill Spike now!

Loved the fight scene..very well described.

Wonderful.
Kathleen

oh man...hope they can handle this..and parker as a vampire? ugh...he was annoying enough with just a normal lifespan...lol...excellent chapter, love :)

Interesting chapter Char, Parker gets sired and an ending that has me waiting for the next chapter.

WOW, they came for Parker. And to get a little of his background is telling on why he treats people the way he does. And really, why in the world would she want Spike to go back to the dorm. They already got together outside, what put a buffer between them now. Just love the chapter

Oooooooohhhhhh! That is going to HURT! Hurt Cleotus, that is....somehow I see that baseball bat being snapped into a nice jagged stake just for Cleotus!
Loved the Inner William sneaking out, just for Buffy. And priceless, the way she half-ignores him/patronizes him while reading the paper...
They're definitely growing on each other.
Please let Buffy put the Twinks down in a properly grisly manner befitting what they deserve.
Enjoying it!

On the other hand, the whole smelling thing. “Ewww. Have I mentioned that this Vampire Smelling Thing makes me want to heave?"

Hahahaha. and also, this:

Parker had a hell of a time later when he woke up in the morgue with his jaw still wired shut and his fangs bursting out of his gums.

Great line.

Awesome as usual, S_T.

I really get a kick out of your characterizations...not just Buffy and Spike but love the twins so much I almost hate to see them dusted *G*. Parker as a vamp is a dreadful concept though but enjoyed the wired jaw causing trouble with fangs growing.

Kathleen

Ohhhhh!

LOL! I was sure that was what the chapter name meant, but I was afraid it would have something to do with Spike and Buffy and the claim! So glad it didn't *sighs with relief* Oh, and Parker waking up at the morgue? LMAO!!! Loved the update! More please? *bats eyelashes*

XXX

Parker? Vampire? Double bad! I am so looking forward to his dusty end. And your title is hilarious!

I definitely get the title now. Parker the vamp is gona have a hard time feeding with his jaws wired shut.

Well... that is one name for him... uh-huh! hehe

thanks for the update.

OH I wonder what Buffy will say when she finds out Parker was Vamped by Sundasy and Rosebud. I am confused by Cleotus at the end did she know Spike before.

 

Oh, you really Slay me!!! Parker, checking out Spike's package??? And tryin' to take THREE women away from Spike at the same time??? Hee Hee. Are you gonna have Spike turn Pipsqeek so he has something (someone) to do when Buffy's in a bad mood?

lol...that was hilarious...love how sicko man-slut parker thought he was gonna get it on with all of em...and xander falling on his rear and getting told off was pretty cool, too...excellent work, love :)

Just started reading....really good and very funny.

I am LOVING this fic! Well written, well structured, engaging and zingy. You ROCK!!!

Okay, I just love how Buffy was going after the people she thought was in her way of her man. Just too funny. And Spike played her so well with the jealously. Parker just really should have gotten the hint and left well enough along but NO... I hope that Xander gets a clue and just leaves well enough alone. Just a great chapter.

This was such a fun chapter! Love the cat fight and the name calling (with Spike's help) was a hoot!

Parker perving even on Spike was hysterical too.

Xander is in mind melt LOL.

We all know come Friday Buffy will be seeking to keep her boy for herself. She isn't insane after all. If she can just keep the Council from killing him that is.

Kathleen

The fight scene was wonderful! And Parker got what he deserved. Now what to do about Xander?

Spike got off the hook for his cheating WAY too easily... *growls*

Well her avoiding lasted long, and loved the girly fight. Parker sure could not take a hint he is luck Spike didn't kill him.

delightful read, thank you. could you feed xander to rosamund and sunday?

I don't want the claim to be broken *pouts*

Seriously now, you right the characters so true to form it's like I'm watching it all on TV! I've been following this story from the beginning and cannot get enough. Please update soon!
XXX

 

this will have to be my last review until the end because I am too excited about the story to stop.  I like Joyce - she is so sensible about Spike. I hope somebody busts Parker's chops & I know that Buffy is going to get all jealous of the twins.

oh man...did he misunderstand and is trying to make her jealous? or does he have something else up his sleeve? travers and the council jerks make me nervous...wonderful writing, love :)

The exchange between Buffy and Parker was hilarious! And what is Spike doing with the skanky ones?! Although it's good to see them back in the picture plotwise.

in regards to the travers-giles conversation, see previous review (although the gap is narrowing.) hope that buffy is not annoyed, jealouse(hope that is spelled correctly,) or silly enough to dance with parker. wait, i'm talking about buffy. very good read, thank you.

OOOO getting dicey with the Council on the prowl. She won't like them going after Spike.

Jealousy will be interesting too.

Kathleen

Oh no he didn't!!

Oh no he didn't!!

Okay WOW just wrote an review for another story here. MAN, I can't believe that Spike is dancing with the twins. And what in the world is she going to do with Parker now that he has been seen.

Once again the scoobies just can't stay out of someone's business. I do feel so bad for Spike. And for him to now think that Dawn is just another scoobie. I hope that Buffy and Giles can work through this. I just hope that Buffy and Spike can work through all of the assumptions and figure things out.

Hmmm, interesting.... Cant wait to read the next chapter... Later, Char.

woops...
Somehow, this doesn't look good for the furniture in the Bronze...

Hope Parker comes to a bad end. But what is Spike doing with Rosamund and Sunday?

Wow, nothing like a big ole scoop of Buffy denial mixed in with a generous spoonful of bitchiness and topped off with a dollop of jealousy. And the Giles/Travers interaction is hilarious in a very reserved, dry British way.

OH no that is not good. I hope Spike manages to get Buffy before the council does stuff to either of them.

Ooooooh! I deffinately need more of this! Soon, please?*bats eyelashes*

XX

 

Oh-oh Spike! If you only had a brain, you'd realize that THE BOYS were calling her, not the otrher way round. Shr's an attractive gal.
Ugh! Travers! Well, I guess we have to have a bad guy. Since the Big Bad is so sweet. Gotta go. The cat says I've played with the mouse long enuff.

I love this fic! I can't wait for the next chapter :) .

I love this fic! I can't wait for the next chapter :) .

oh i'm so nervous about the council and what they're going to try...spike's meeting with joyce should be very interesting...loved this chapter, love, can't wait for more :)

the nice thing about travers is that he makes sometimes giles look better. very good read, thank you.

I just love Joyce. She didn't completely freak out and she was honest with Buffy. But I don't know what will happen if Spike just shows up at the house right now. And will they tell him about the timelimit? Great chapter.

Intersting, can't wait to see what happens next. Can spike kill that bastard Travers, that'd be nice.

Oh oh....this could be bad. Love Joyce's reaction though. She didn't just dismiss the likelihood of the match AND she kept calling Spike her son-in-law.

Kathleen

Ug... hate Travers. And what about that Teansdale bloke, eh?

OH no this is not good, for some reason I don't think she should stay away from Spike right now, I think she might need him to protect her.

Excellent snappy dialogue - and I love impatient Spike. A nice break from Scooby disapproval.

oh no...the council getting involved can only be a bad thing...i wonder what buffy will choose to do on friday...excellent chapter, love :)

buffy is starting to realize giles doesn't know as much as anya. he can be such an ass. very good read, thank you.

Very funny chapter. The painted red penis was inspired!

Bad ass chapter, Char. Giles can be suck a prick at times so, awesome charachterizations and can't wait to see where you'll take it from here.

Shoot! Quentin Travers (or should that all be one sentence and a plan? LOL).

The right thing may not be divorce and a staking like Giles thinks. Buffy is already beginning to think she may love Spike and I doubt she'll just follow orders, she never has before.

Maybe Joyce will put in a good word for Spike (I hope) and even be pro-mating as Tara clearly is.

Kathleen

Wow, between denial!Giles and denial!Buffy, can'tkeepapromise!Willow, and Quentin Travers, poor Spike is in for a difficult time.

I just hope that Buffy recieves some encouragement from her mother. Spike and Buffy during this time have actually talked. Gile should know better than anyone to not take books at face value. I mean, Buffy was supposed to die at the master but she was brought back. The Codex didn't say anything about that. And now he is Travers. AUGH, that man just makes me so mad.

Oh, no! But I'm sure all will be well with Buffy and Spike despite the recent development.

Oh that was good, wonder if Spike will let it go bye bye.

 

Lady Vicky is a weird Slayer, but o.k., I admit I think that whole era was weird.Glad I'm back on my regular site so I can fix my mis-spells.
I like the Torture Twins - are you going to make this a series? They'd be way better villians than the Nerd Herd. Mostly because I like my nerds on the side of good. Fashionistas as villians I like :D
Spike is so sweet. Not someone I'd want to run for president; he has about as much self-control as (whoops! Don't go there!), but he's sweet and he likes to get drunk and that shag thing - Buffy could do worse!

Buffy and Spike make a cute couple, don't they. Sorta like Spike is her girlfriend, the way he paints her toes - oh, wait! Even I've had guys paint my toes. Not boyfriends, but friends who are guys. Not that I know anyone as hot as Spike! But I digress. Good chappie. Love the evil twins. Please don't kill them; I'd like to play with them another day.

awww, buffy's feelings are becoming more openly involved here...they're becoming more vulnerable with each other...excellent chapter, love :P

Hum, I'm not sure Buffy will be wanting to be freed any time soon. I rather enjoy their domestic happiness and I think she does too. Spike is already changing a bit and with encouragement will continue.

Kathleen

they are doing so well. am sure giles will now mess everything up. very good read, thank you.

Such cute domesticity budding, and I just know Giles is going to do something well-meaning and awful!

great chapter Char.

Oh, so that's the reason for diary! Looking forward to the next clue.

They are just too cute. And they are actually talking now. What in the world??? But I love every bit of it. I hope Giles knows what he is doing. I don't know if he will get the results he is looking for. And he better not turn on her.

Oh I wonder what he will do when he finds out she has moved in with Spike.

Grrrrr, stupid Giles!

 

I love Spuffy because they were so fucked up and hawt but unfortunately Spike gets written as the lamest evil vampire evah in fic. He never gets to kill people or doing anything actually evil. Whyyyy? At least you kept the snark and love/hateyness instead of writing them too mushy. That's my Spuffy. So yay! Kewpie doll for you.

And sorry dude but it's Pussy, P-U-S-S-Y not Puss. Took me right out of the moment each and every time while reading the hot sex scenes in the earlier chapters. And yis they were definitely hot if not for what I assume is a spellcheck typo. Please change? So I can enjoy the lovely smut as intended.

Good fight with the terrible twins. Jealous Buffy is funny and nice update all round.

Kathleen

Okay so what is Buffy going to do now? She can just stake him and be done with it. Or she can play along for a while. ANd Spike better pay attention with his surroundings. He should have been able to pick up that Buffy didn't get hurt when she punched him. And go girl fight for your man.

Hey! Love the Spuffyness, and I hope Sunday and her sis get they're asses kicked.

oooh, spike's in trouble now, he just doesn't know it yet...buffy's catching him in his lies, and she clearly is none too pleased about it...i'm a bitty bit worried about what she's going to do now...great chapter, love, can't wait for more :)

*rolls eyes at Spike and groans*

Thanks for a new chapter, i really enjoy this story.

Hmm, Buffy is cozying up on her own then if the claim is out! Of course, she's going to test that again, eh?

Loved the quipping fight between the twins and Buffy!

Smashing fight! Cute Buffy and Spike too.

I want to know more about this tag team. I expect that fic on my desk by Monday morning.

And I love how he has to add "before it got all trendy and upscale". Because he's punk rock, dammit! Heee.

Love Spike and Buffy in this story. So the way they should be.

Looks like Buffy needs to make a trip to Giles and talk to him about her new discovery. Oh would Spike be surprised when he finds out.

It´s fresh and not so sweet, Ilike it

Oh, I love this so bloody much!!! Wouldn't it be a lovely stage play? "What? You've got your bloody cheek! I worked bloody hard to get those minoins!"
I feel the love between Sunday & Rosamund lol!

oh man...wonder if spike and buffy will hear and help her...lol...spike probably wouldn't like that much, turning into a white hat...poor guy is so lost to her, whether he wants to admit it or not :P lol...

Such lovely sisters, nice to see them getting on so well. And as for "wifey"!! what a hoot.

I really like the sisters Vamp. Nice characterizations. Would love to know how Spike knows them *G*.

I notice he didn't get too upset with Buffy dusting around the house like a good wifey.

Nice progression here. So sweet with the daisies and his explanation for why he chose them.

Kathleen

This is the funnest story ever. A Goth shop showdown... so ripe for hilarity, can't wait to see how that plays out.

Digging the Spuffy banter, the sibling bitchfest, and the little touches like the Wilkins statue. Also, "Arachnida" - stroke of comic genius.

OH some how I think Buffy might make it there faster if they hear a scream.

 

Hand cuffs? Why did Buffy have handcuffs, pre-Spike? Was it to chain Willow to her desk so she'd do all of Cave-Co-Ed's homework? Good story; funny, sexy. Good guest strs, o.c.'s or whatever.

Great chapter. Love the fic so far

wow that's gotta be getting confusing for poor little willow :P lol...and buffy doesn't really seem all that eager to break the claim...but it's only lasting until the full moon? hmmm...wonder what happens then? :P lol...

they are enjoying this too much. red is sure to mess it up. very good chapter, thank you.

"This whole mate thing is not turning out at all the way it’s supposed to."
Spike is drawing closer to Buffy and she is searching for a way out of the claim. Love Buffy packing clothes to stay with Spike.

i am loving this story to bits, cant wait for the update

In such a weird way they are just so domestic. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Spike's in for a rude awakening!! I can't wait, this is hilarious.

Yeah, bad Willow for telling Giles :P

Bwaha! Willow tripping up and transcribing everything with her Blue Flair pen, hilarious.

Max out on that Spike sex, Buffy! Aw yeah.

Oh I wonder whose plan will work Buffy's or Spikes.

Compassion? That's sweet, Buffy.  OH, and Hey! I like your original charactors. Well, I don't LIKE them, cuase, you know, evil, but I appreciate the craftiness of you in making them.
 Well, I sorta like Bob.

awwww, that was sweet of her...poor spikey...and yeah, lotta nerve he's got telling her to get over it...he's not quite there yet himself, is he? great chapter, love :)

That spell, to revive Sunday? Fabulous. Great description of her body reforming, and of her sister and the warlock's perspectives, too.

And that CaveBuffy line at the end? Super cute!

Okay so in this weird way they are just too cute together. And what will the newly resurrected vamp have planned for everyone?

Hey, great chapter love. Definitely liked the Spuffy interaction in this chappie.

I'm feeling pity for Buffy in her seemingly trapped situation. However, I'm sure she will make the best of it.

And Rosamund? What an evil creature! But she counts tiles which is a very nerdy thing to do.

Methinks they've a very long way to go, but it's on the right track...maybe!

Awwww, the end part was cute

enjoyed buffy's confused thoughts about spike and his feeling. love her reverting to cave slayer. very good read, thank you.

OH no Sunday is awake, wonder what will happen now.

Great sequence on Sunday's return! Very visual...nicely written.

Poor Spike holding on to Dru and rejection when Buffy love is right there in his subconscious waiting to be released.

Kathleen

Awww, they're gettin' all sweet on each other! *tear*

And, wow, that was a fantastic description of reanimation.

Nautee like Storee. Want more Storee. Unh.

So, is Buffy going to end up having to save Spike from Cleo-the-Brute? Good story.

I like the Buffy-logic in this one: you had sex with me a bunch of times so you should get me a bunch of towels. Yes. He lives in a mansion, for Pete's sake. Just because he's a cold-blooded killer doesn't mean he shouldn't get his girl some towels. And ugh! the whole toothbrush thing? Don't even want to think about it.

uh oh...that could be bad...ominous ending to the chapter...poor spike, didn't know what he was getting himself into, did he? lol...

Haha, "on a Need To Be Kept Completely In The Dark Basis". So Xander-appropriate.

Also, this made me giggle maniacally, and that's always weird when you're all alone:

Buffy and Xander crept closer to the New Age Meditation and Happy Feelings Worship Center, hugging the late afternoon shadows. Buffy stepped with care as they approached the building, placing her boots so as not to rustle leaves or make other noises that might alert the vampires inside.

Xander tripped over a stick and crashed into a steel garbage can.

But it's not just about the funnies -- the story has me hooked too. I'm dying to see what happens next.

Strong and horny, that's our guy! A bit all over the place too! Definitely not thinking things through, Fun!

Hey Char, great chapter. I'm loving this so far, question is, how far can Buffy keep the relationship on the sly?

spike been enjoying this too much. someone is going to mess it up. very good read, thank you.

Buffy and Spike are just too funny when they are together. And for him to keep calling her 'wifey' just makes me laugh. Great plan on getting rid of the minions. Loved the chapter.

lol, no, my bday is next month - you used it for the journal entry last chapter ^.^ (*sigh* and just realized this week i won't get a tat this year because of my rash)

And wonder how mad Spike'll be!

Wow what an amazing story hope you update fast

"Okay. I did. Come back to bed."

Giggle. Vintage Spike. Admits it, but just bulldozes on to what *he* wants.

Loved the Xander/Buffy interaction, too.

But I sense that some serious trouble is a brewin' *bites fingernails, waits for update!*

Oh I wonder what Cleotus is going to do.

loved it.

 

This was hilarious! Coke foamy!

Come on Buffy, she should have brought her own drink into the bar. That was the initial place of the crime. I can't wait until she sleeps this off and wants to kill him and dam the consequences. He really shouldn't have done this.

evil spike at his best. loved the read, thank you.

That's a bit sad, resorting to drugging Buffy -- but he so enjoys playing dirty! I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when she sobers up.

naughty Spike... Great Chapter Char.

wow...hotness to come i presume?? though, gotta say, a bit disturbing for him to take advantage of her like that...but then he *is* still evil :P lol...great chapter, love, looking forward to more :)

OH he was so bad.

Took matters into her own hands indeed. I think the single dose probably would have been enough, and then it might not be so obvious to her afterwards what had happened - not that its gonna matter.

Okay, so I was supposed to do productive outdoorsy stuff today, and yet here I am hunched over my computer, giggling and getting all hot under the collar thanks to your perfectly paced, seemingly effortless, sexy, funny prose. I am in love with this story, and your Spike and your Buffy, and all of your peripheral and original characters, and I'm a little bit in love with *you* for making Spuffy fun again.

Just about every line here is quotable, but these two:

Beating up my Slayer mate will enhance my already formidable reputation

and

A girl could get confused listening to him

were my LOLs. Thanks for sharing your talent. Can't wait to read more.

oooo you used my bday :P

And heehee at more cave buffy

Valley girl, much? It's a PAY phine! Oh, wait? Is it for her? Why doesn't she have a cell?

“A Planet Weirdy of No.” Her mind blanked for a second and she found herself kissing Spike. She kissed him a little more, just to make sure that kissing him was as good as she remembered, which it was, before pushing him away. “Cut it out.”

Planet Weirdy? I'm dying. DYING! This is too good.

hey , another great chapter Char. Hopefully Buffy wises up soon.

oh man i hope buffy really does go over there and find out about the new psycho vamp in town...great chapter, love, very much enjoyed it and can't wait to see where you take this next :)

i find it hard to believe that spike's plan is going as he expected. right. very good read, thanks

spike just might get them all killed. He didn't really think of the consequences when he put that claim on Buffy. And Buffy is a very strong person. I don't know if I could push him away especially after she KNOWS what the man can do.

*rolls eyes then smacks forehead* stuuuupid spike

Gotta love a man's logic and sense of romance, esp Spike's.

OH that was interesting, things not going Spikes way.

Buffy's on top form there! Very funny.

"It was nice how she thought of killing him right away. Showed that she cared. Bird was in love with him already."
LOL... so funny the way Spike's brain works ...:::giggle snort:::... Like Buffy said on the show she "beat him us a lot and to SPike that's like second base." Too funny.

Love Clem and his friends protecting Willy and saying that beating him up is the Slayers private pleasure only.

So Rosie is Sunday's sister and planning to revive the bitca, huh! That should be interesting. So should whatever Giles learns from the banned journal.

Excellent read.
Kathleen

Rosamund, huh? Sounds like trouble. And I love, love, love the subplot with Lady V. Can't wait to see what Giles makes of his emergency kit. Thanks for the update!

 

Yes! fAIR lYDIA TO THE RESCUE! hOPE bUFFY DOESN'T BEAT HER UP!

Oh, Lydia, you little groupie. This is genius!

seems to me like lydia will most likely be a bit of help to our heroes :) lovely chapter, can't wait to see how things work out between buffy and spike :)

I think Spike has lost his brain.

Lady Victorine shares a few qualities with buffy. like the way Maynard's mind works. very good read, thank you

Gaaaaaaah, what is up with Spike????

I love the way this is progressing. Spike doesn't realise how much of his intentions Buffy can read does he? Typical Council reaction though, hope Buffy can bring herself to tell Giles before the Council arrives...

oh. I love Lydia Chalmers! There used to be a S/Lydia story on AAS, where Spike 'distracted' the watcher wantabe during Checkpoint. Not that I am remotely interested in seeing those two get together. Just surprised that you brought her in to the story. And yes, if you haven't guessed by now, love the story.

Everyone is due for a surprise.

"If true that Miss Summers and William are in love, our efforts to break the claim will be meaningless and shortsighted.”

Amusing Lydia and Council intrigue.

So now we know why Spike claimed her wonder what she will do about it without hurting herself.

Yeh for bad ass Spike! Really loved the haughty British dialogue between the watchers.

amazing story keep those updates comming!

Good boy Maynard! Love Lydia in any story (she does have an eye for fine Vampire flesh).

I think Spike is setting a trap that he will fall into. Don't see him pulling off the plan to distract Buffy into not offing his minions.

Excellent update...loving this story.

Kathleen

Looks like Lady Vicky is as talented as Buffy. I was hoping she might have had a harder time of it. So everyone knows about Buffy and Spike. After what Spike said, the claim isn't permanent? Just use her for a while and dissolve the claim? Angel, Parker, Riley and Spike, wait a lucky girl she is! Got a giggle out of Angel's always less-then-perfect timing. Wonder why Spike wanted for her to find the liar to begin with or is this one of his latest screw ups? Fun to read, looking forward to more.

"These two were not noticibly more mature than the day he'd met them"   "He's tricked her into esting a ...digestive biscuit before."
     I can see, tho, that Spike is still evil in this fic.

Fantastic chapter, packed full of interesting info. Bob, is strangly sure of himself. He might be a warlock but he's still human. Is he an informat for the Council? If he is, that would be bad for Buffy. Brad and Tucker as Spike minions, they should be good for a giggle or two. Buffy's not going to like him having all these minions. Nothing like being around a bunch of vamps to set of her slayer rader. Now to read this next chapter and get caught up. Thanks for the update, ST.

love it when Spike takes charge of the relationship and Buffys the one on shaky ground.
Even though Spike is destined to love
Buffy I hope his character remains the strong master vamp.
more soon please.

poor buffy, can't hide things from the watcher. isn't going to like what she learns about claims. she be back to spike for r&r in no time. very good read, thank you.

I love that you're not making Spike all soppy and you're making him behave properly vampiry, but no doubt Buffy will soon have something to say about that! Is he going to encounter the Initiative? Is Buffy going to own up to the claimage? More please...

oooo boy, wonder what Spike's up to...

Great chapter.

Nice gang Spike's recruiting! All that sex has gone to his brain. What a hoot!

oh that was interesting, so Giles figured they were up to something.

lol...wow...this could get interesting...wonder what buffy's going to think of all this recruiting spikes doing..excelllent chapter, love, looking forward to reading more :)

“Spike told me himself. He claimed the Slayer.”
Impressive. Now he intends to set up his empire...mmm.
Wonder what Buffy will do?

Loved Buffy's halting admission to Willow: And, withiness ensued. And Bob the Warlock is in this for the Sub Zero appliances? Now that's evil! :) Thanks for the update!

great chapter, Char. Can't wait to read more.

Altho Buffy does have a generally bad attitude, I admit I would think it pretty awful to be married to a man I co;dn't bust in the nose when he deserved! I'm lmao!!!

Buffy was definitely peculiar. Not to mention, a slut.

That made me cry it was so funny.

Now this is just too funny and I can't wait for the next chapter. And leave it to Buffy to just assume it was Spike. Come on... This is Sunnydale.

love that she hits him and it causes her pain. fun read, thank you.

oh man....buffys gonna have a hard time dealing with that...she can't even punch him? :P lol...good for spike, though...wonder how they're going to adjust to this :)

Great twist to the claim. She actually feels what he feels and not like some filter his feelings are coming through. Damn, I hope it wasn't Spike, maybe some other vamp, making the rounds. She hates him at the moment and I hope he realizes he can't piss her off too much. Must be a bitch to be chosen from the titled of the period. Not even a farm wench, who knew of the toils of labor and had a calloused hand. Looking forward to more of this, wonderful fun for Spike, love to see Buffy suffer a little.

Silly girl -- trying to convince herself of all sorts of nonsense! She's a gas!

Well that is just not fair :P

Nope not Spike but he might want o brace himself for a angery slayer.

Spike said something about a trick. Does that mean he didn't really claim her?

Naturally she'd suspect Spike....sigh...so glad she can't stake him (or even pop him a good one much less beat him within an inch of his unlife).

Really enjoying this one. Can't wait to see who this newcomer in town might be ... I have a suspicion and think it a good thing Buffy and Spike are already mated!

Kathleen

 

      This chappie is the best so far. Or is it? They've all been great - but this one was more SEXY!  Altho really I like Angel (I just like Spike sooo much better!) I cracked up at Buff's description of his 'thing' being 'like a wet noodle'!
     This is how I like my sex (my literary sex) : violent AND funny! Great combo.

Wow, a claim! He claimed her! This is going to make it so much more interesting. Giles is going to have a cow, I can't wait. Thanks for the update.

Outstanding claimy goodness! More please.

Having a great time reading this - you can make this fic as long as you like. The bit where Spike had to grab Buffy's hair and shake her till her brain rattled before she'd say 'yours' after his claiming bite was especially funny. I look forward to the next installment.

Poor "deficient" slayer...not knowing what she did but really enjoying it. What will Giles do? Will he find out? More, please!

“What can I tell you, baby? I’ve always been Big.”

Snort! I love some funny mixed in with the smut. Thanks for the update.

What a way to find out that he claimed her. Now what in the world are they going to do.

lovely read, thank you. wonder what buffy will think about the claim when she is out of spike reach?

Sweet chapter.

OH yay they are Mated, wonder how everyone will take it when they find her.

I think that Buffy isn't gonna be all happy with the claim, whatever Spike thinks :)

I'm really enjoying this fic. It's so much fun!!

Ha!
That was some severe NC-17, but hey, i'm not complaining!

Ooooo!! Claimage! Yay!

oh man...wonder how she'll react to the idea of that!! good chapter, love, much enjoyed :) can't wait for more :)

Great chapter. I don't think Buffy will be too thrilled now, or at least she won't admit it.

Excellent!! That made me LOL. Priceless dialogue!

Plot development, eh? I'm eager to see how this plot develops!

 

Oh my gosh! She came like a hand grenade exploding? That is a weird thing to say, but I guess it meant she liked it. Oh THEY re such a silly pair! If somebody was kissing my earbrows, etc. Id MARRY him!

"she didn't know that making sex with other people could feel so good" Ah, yes. Been there, done that. I mean who could possibly know how good is done as well as oneself? 

definitely interested, glad your adding some new ideas and plot twists to the old beer bad standard
always loved beer bad stories this should be fun
cant wait until Sunday

loved the chapter. thanks for the fun read.

Wow, Char. Awesome chapter, poor, sexually unsatisfied Buffy.

OH I loved the Spike and Buffy part but am a little confused about the beginning part.

Great stuff. Can't wait for the next chapter. I'll admit I kinda skimmed over the original character bits. Sorry, I got impatient for the Spuffy. I'll read the whole thing on the next pass. Honest!

Whoo! *fans self* I like how the Spuffy smut was quirky as well as hot.

I can't wait to see what kind of trouble the new arrivals will make.

Ah the sweet mysteries of love!

Nice chapter.

lol...too funny, love buffy's thoughts throughout this chappie :) very well done, love, and i can't wait to read more :)

Poor Buffy - what a nasty shock to wake up to find herself having sex with her nemesis. Nasty, but delicious, eh? Great chapter! Looking forward to more....

I was just going to ask you what that bottle was in the banner. Now I know what it is but is it for Buffy? She might have smelled Spike there but she hasn't got a clue what he's up to with the slayer. Thanks for making her beg. Wait til she gets horny again, we all know who it is she'll be thinking of! Thanks ST for the update. Great second chapter.

Very good so far; loved the sanitation workers & their blasse attitude towards vampires!

I saw a recommendation for this fiction and am very glad that I decided to check it over.

Well done! :D

The three big bads all crashing into the Welcome sign and posturing with alcohol was hilarious, but not as hilarious as the final paragraph. "Focking vampiros," indeed!

Hahaha! Holy crap, this is brilliant.

"He hated all of this guy’s kind, too. When they weren’t doing something evil, they were thinking about doing something evil, or warming up to doing something evil or had just finished doing something evil and were licking the blood off their evil lips and sniffing the air for their next meal like hungry wolves."

Hehe, that made me laugh. I'm very excited to see what you'll do with this!

This'll be fun, a Sunnydale takeover. Cave Buffy is great.

LoL

Okay, you SO have my attention with this. Awesome chapter.

Yes, I read that forum where everyone was speculating on Spike wearing his necklace. Glad you decided to write something. Love that you went with the continuation of "Beer Bad". Just who these new players are, should add to the fun. Looking forward to reading more, thanks.

hee, hee, hee, I totally love thsi fic, but you already knew that. I can't see the banner though *cries* Stupid Photobucket! Can't wait for more Spuffy fun!

WAHAHAhahahaAHHAHAHAHa!!!! *gasp* hehehehEHEHEHhahahhahAhahahaheeee!!! Love it!

Just have to say, I love the sign getting hit and hit and hit over again. Why do they even keep putting it back? Maybe they get overtime pay.

I don't know if Buffy will still be affected by the beer when she wakes up, but I'm sure the next chapter is going to be FUN! If she isn't Cave-Slayer anymore, I'm sure she'd have been put into a position by Spike that she couldn't just run off to get over the hangover. Still, I like how Cave-Buffy doesn't seem to remember lying or the more complicated emotional junk like 'embarrasment' or hiding what she thought. I'm sure that's going to be a great time with Spike, the hot vampire she shouldn't want! Still love Parker getting smacked over the head instead of Buffy bashfully accepting his apology and forgiving him.

Good start and keep it up!

Sweet beginning to what will be a bad ass fic, Char. Cant wait to see where you take this.

This has a lot of potential. I can't wait to read more. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the read,
Jace

oh this looks interesting.

lol....that poor sunnydale sign hehe...wonder what spike's going to do with buffy now...this story is fascinating so far, very much looking forward to more :)

I really like the start up of this story. Cave Buffy is quite entertaining. I especially like calling Xander "Boy Talk Talk Talk."

sunnydale appears to be a popular destination this fine evening. should be a fun to read what spike plans. great beginning, thanks for the fun read.

You're off to a rollickin' good start. Gotta love beergoodBuffy. :) Looking forward to naughty Spuffy.

Oooh ... I'll admit when I saw the title and the NC17 rating, I thought this might be another what-if-Buffy-ran-into-Spike-while-drunk fic. And I guess it is - but this is so, so much more interesting. Burning with curiosity here ... can't wait to see what happens next!

Looks like word got out about Buffy's condition somehow. Interesting start.

LOL, omgoodness.....what's with all the arrivals?

With that much CaveBeer in Buffy, she's definitely not going to be herself for a bit. Might even be passed out all night, if Spike can't persuade her to come to. Does he have the ring on? Cuz that would really make things interesting!
