Look before you leap!

Great chapter! Love the need for a two-way claim to maintain Buffy's sanity. And Spike comforting Buffy because of his memories is sweet and twisted at the same time. Hoping for another quick update!

I'm glad Buffy can see the vulnerable side of Spike, not just the human he was. Very well done. I also wonder just what rules you've come up with for what claiming means and how this will affect the two of them. Also, looking forward to some steamy biting in the next chapter! Can't wait to see how you do it.

Excellent update, I can hardly wait to see what happens with the dual claiming.

Spike took more convincing than I thought he would - and he put on his pants too! But then, it sounds like neither of them really know what they're getting themselves in for, unless Spike is a better liar here than he seems.
