Great story! Loved the evolution of Spike and Buffy. Your original characters of Zack and Rosalie were so nicely drawn. Love Rosalie’s ability to wind Spike around her little finger. The whole process of how Buffy gets vamped is unique and I liked the notion of a vamped Slayer keeping their soul. Thank you for writing such en enjoyable tale!
Thank you!

Really interesting how you’ve woven Spike differently into the Acathla situation and then how Buffy and Spike are dealing with the unexpected claim. Looking forward to hearing what those pages of the Vampyr book tell about claims as well as seeing how they all handle the vamp blood-slave business.
I particularly like your characterization of Spike and his desire to do what Buffy needs and how he and Buffy still slip up sometimes.

Love hearing lots of Spike’s thoughts.
Thank you!

Congratulations 🎉! You’ve done a marvelous job with this story.
A very belated thank you.

Just found this story and I’m liking how you are adapting the lyrics to fit! Fun to see Xander sweat a bit.
I think Xander needed to sweat a bit. . . at times. He certainly had his moments. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!


What if things had gone just a little differently when Spike came to Buffy for help after he was chipped? Goes seriously AU after 'Pangs'.

I liked the notion of them no being finite, but rather coming together and falling apart and weaving back together again.
Set immediately post-Tabula Rasa. Can our favourite vampire coax Buffy out of that infamous river, or is the slayer destined to continue alone in a world full of nightmares?

I’m really enjoying this story! I’m hoping to get a glimpse of Spike’s thoughts next chapter. Is Buffy right? Is he feeling the same connection? Is he going to talk himself out of it because they are working together? Looking forward to seeing what happens next!
I'm so glad you're liking it! I have 3 chapters waiting to be looked over before I post, but there's definitely more to come!! Xx

The premise of this was unique and I enjoyed watching the dynamic between Buffy and Spike. I also really liked your Brachen family! Structurally, I enjoyed how sometimes you would relay a scene from one point of view and then, in the next section, relay that same scene or part of it, from another character's POV. It lent a depth to those particular scenes that was very powerful.
Your banners are wonderful, too!
Thank you! The Brachen family was so much fun to write and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up writing more characters with accents in the future. I definitely wanted to relay the different feeling within chapters from characters points of view so i'm so glad it came across that way!
I also find doing the photo manipulation and banners help my muse when i'm feeling a bit stuck. Creating the visual art always helps!

This is a shameless crackfic. There will be bad language, sexual situations, iffy character development, and decapitations. Also many references to songs by the B-52’s. Here’s a Spotify playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/12180930371/playlist/0zCn0skDlEQq0qu2x8UgwS
