 Wow, what a great ending!  You're reasoning is right on the money about their control issues, too.  I was sure surprized when the story veered away from the picnic into a wild adventure & claiming, too.  Great fun and very sexy.
 Thank you so much.  Yes, i was surprised, too!   That started out as a one off, 1000 word ficlet about the scene behind the sofa when they were playing cards.  Then the picnic happened and then, when William came back with her I just couldn't stop it going off on a completely different tangent.  I've never written "claiming" before and, to be frank, don't even like the concept!   But it just seemed right for them all.  And I got quite fond of Demon!

Thank you once again.

I really enjoyed this story. Your William was wonderful, and I liked how he and Spike interacted with each other. It went in a totally different direction than I was expecting, but it was gripping and well done :)
thank you so much. It is always nice to get a review for a finished work. Yes, Strip Snap took off in a completely different direction half way through and no one was more surprised than me! But that was what the characters wanted to do. So pleased you liked it.

What a wonderful story - really liked your plot and treatment of claim and multiple characters that make up the current Spike. Also, bringing together the first part,that lovely romantic picnic gift, with the rest of story was excellent.

How you played out the Xander and Willow characters was also a part of the piece that I liked very much - I liked how you completed their part and I also very much liked the part that Dawn played at the end.

Very much enjoyed reading this pice - thanks for bringing it to us.

thank you so much for such a kind review. Glad you enjoyed the story. I loved writing it and miss it dreadfully.

But must now get on with other wips! At least I managed a chapter of Forever and a Day last week, so slowly getting on with them.

Thank you again.

Thank you for letting Buffy take back control of her life - and for giving us a really amazing story overall.

I loved the 4-way claiming - a great way to do it!
thank you so much for commenting. Much appreciate it.

wonderfully wrap up to a fine tale. thanks for the very good read.
so pleased you enjoyed the final chapter. it has been a fun story to write and I will miss William and Demon!

It's been one heck of a ride. Regarding Buffy's treatment of Willow and Xander: a friend's advice (asked for or not) is one thing, but attempting to control someone else's life is contemptible. Not to mention the fact that while Spike is *not* technically human, they never even gave him the courtesy of a chance.
I agree entirely with what you said about Willow and Xander. I think the word I used - addiction - is perfect for their behaviour regarding Buffy’s life.

Thank you so much for this story. It's been a great adventure and I really enjoyed every step. I could envision a sequel dealing with Willow and Xander's reactions and how Buffy and Spike deal with their realtionship, but I won't push.;o) Thanks again!
Oh the dreaded sequel word! I think I’m a little too close to it all at the moment but perhaps in a few months I might have a think because the Buffy/Spike relationship would be really interesting.....

A good ending, hon! Thanks for a good, twisty story.
A pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it.

The perfect ending -- personally, I love it when Buffy tells Willow and Xander to mind their own business. It should happen more often! Thanks for such an enjoyable read.
Thank you, Lou. Glad to know you enjoyed the end and that the Willow/Xander row didn’t upset you.

what a lovely ending, so glad she stood up to her friends at last!!! wonderful work, love, this story has been a joy from start to finish....sad to see it end, but you've completed it beautifully :)
so pleased you enjoyed the last chapter. Yes, I’m really sad to say goodbye to my claimed couple. I do hope now it is completed more people will be tempted to read it.

I simply loved the way you closed the fic, the last sentence was very fitting. As for Willow and Xander they got what they deserved, and it was very satisfying to read. Fantastic story! :clap: It's been a fun and exciting ride, and I enjoyed every second of it! :D
So pleased that the ending was satisfying for you. I wanted Willow and Xander to realise that they were addicted to interfering in Buffy’s life. I think that came across. Thank you so much for all the reviews over the months. Much appreciated.

Lovely story (the ones that demand you write them THEIR way usually are!).

Claiming is our invention and you can tweak it any way you wish. You did well.

Xander and Willow are in context especially for the time period of the story (regarding Willow).

Hum...did you leave a door open for a sequel with that threat from Willow? My blood chilled with her “You’ll be sorry,” she said. “Both of you!”. Not that the story needs to have a sequel to be satisfying, just wondering.

Very well done indeed.

Kathleen
Well, Kathleen, to be honest, I didn’t deliberately set out to leave the door open at the end, but Willow just wouldn’t apologise and I keep thinking, what would it be like for a Slayer and a Vampire to be so joined mentally and emotionally......
I’m going to have to do a poll, though, for people to decide which sequel I do next!

*cries anime tears* it's over and it's a great ending. That was a great story. I can't wait to read more of your work!
Jace
thank you so much for reviewing. Hope you enjoy more of my stories - there’s a lot there on BSV for you to choose from! Do let me know.

Sighs - what a wonderful story. I'm sorry to see it end, but happy that I get to read the whole thing at once. Thanks for a beautiful Spuffy.
thank you so much for your reviews and comments. Much appreciated.

So this wasn't what you had in mind from the start? I'm happy that it ended up this way, very happy. As you know, I've enjoyed this trip as well. Willow and Xander deserved everything they got, with the way it was written. Buffy got to witness the growth and maturity of her "younger" sister. That had brought them closer, the three of them closer. I'm just glad there was a claiming to begin with. Thank you for inviting us along for the ride. Great work Linda, great work.
thank you so much for your kind comments. Yes, story started out as one chp! The scene where they are both sitting behind the sofa playing cards on her birthday. It was a one off - then he invited her on that picnic and wow, I couldn’t stop them. It went from sexy to plotty and then angsty. I do hope people enjoy it.
