Your attention to detail made the physical sensations of travel disconcertingly vivid, and Aurelia is already intriguing. Buffy is definitely in a strange new world, though it's more welcoming than I anticipated. Full and tipsy, she's unconsciously reaching for Spike. I'm sure that softness will be absent in the cold light of morning. It's all making for a great read.
Excellent Update - love how you describe the new camp location - well done. Nice Ending too.
Very much enjoyed the "would be claim" section as well - showing how Anjell would have done the same helped to show just how important this ritual of couple is, not just to Spike but to the Aurelian males - being mated and so closely connected and potentially controlled by a human female is so removed from established traditions. This really helped to bring back again just how much of an experiment and "outsiders" Buffy and Spike will be.
I also liked how he comes to help and comfort her in the transportation -
oh, great chappie. i love how spike held her through the jump but acted like he didn't care afterwards in the visual presence of the others. and how buffy already is used to sleeping next to him. wonderful update!
