I liked the idea of Spikeular. The two Vampires ne peuvent etre plus different. The mating bond is helping them a great deal with their problème
Merci beaucoup for reading! I wanted this to be short, so I thought having an ability to communicate with each other would work well to help break the spell. Cheers!

Love the concept and how you fleshed it out.
Spike's POV made it really work well. He was aware just not able to control too much. Love that his strength of will let him have some control.
The bond with Buffy was very helpful. Knowing what the plan was helped it work without the jealousy getting in the way.
Enjoyed this a lot.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Kathleen!
I’m glad it felt complete and well-fleshed-out.
I know the original Janus spell had folks not seeming aware of what was happening in the moment, but I always felt that they must have some awareness since Buffy was immediately ready to fight Spike as soon as the spell ended. And I think Xander said something about being aware but not able to do anything. Cheers!

LOL!
See?!! Glancing at the comments I, also want question(s) answered! : Is Drac dead? What about Getting Spike's £11 (11 quid) back? Who's paying for Anya's shoes?!! And shiny red dress? It has Drac paws all over it!!! And, if everybody has bought a big pile of pizza--- hope someone has a big freezer!?---- and has played a LOL of pool!!!--- How are Buffy & Spike getting Home or Getting Away/Catching up w/the others??? Y'know, Hoofing it, even w/Vampire Strength and Speed, & Slayer Strength & Speed, might not be Fast nor Quick Enough!!!
Ha! You ask some tough questions!
I hadn’t settled on how they got the cloak. Could have been that it was part of Ethan’s stock, which they somehow got hold of. Or maybe they’d had another run-in with Dracula and he got away, but Buffy ripped his cloak off as he got away.
I think Spike is still out of luck on his 11pounds. Sorry, Spike.
I think Buffy will dry-clean Anya’s dress and return it. (Though Spike will order her a copy since he really likes it, but in black instead. )Then Anya might try to sell it in E-Bay!
Spike and Buffy will definitely be hungry and I think they will go home and order in. But they will call the others and let them know that all is well.
I anticipate that Xander will tease Spike for quite a while about this whole incident.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Cheers!

Yes scoobies take a long drive. Will spike ever get his £11 back?
what will anya do if she sees her ruined shoes!!?!
A shoe epilogue would be interesting!
Thanks for reading and reviewing. Much appreciated!
very cute and sweet. creepy only as far as the dracula part of it, but i enjoyed reading about the bond.
and i'm happy anya lived!!
yay! all in all, a fun fic!
thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. I didn’t want to get too much into the icky Dracula stuff. Tried to keep it mostly on Spuffy and the sappy and fun bits.
Thanks for reading and leaving me a note!

This is such a fun story.
So glad you liked it. It was fun to write!
Thanks for the note!

That was fun!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for reading and leaving me a note. Much appreciated!
This was an unexpected surprise. I do like what you did with it.
It was lighthearted and nice, very enjoyable. Of course Spije would be irritated over having to become Dracula and naturally something had to go wrong. Since Dracula is involved poor Xander had to become a Renfield again. I totally loved Anya's perfectly logical idea of hiding the key under another apartments carpet. It was funny but also makes perfect sense. It also looks fitting that the original person is still there after the transformation. I liked how Buffy and Spike managed to break the spell.
This was nice and good with amusing parts in it, a good response to my challenge.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I could definitely see this challenge going a much darker path, however I was in the mood for something light. Anya and Xander gave that touch of comedy that balances out some of the drama that Spuffy always seem to have, no matter how well they are getting along.
Thanks for reading and commenting so quickly. It really made my day!
Cheers!
