It was great reading this story again - if only the series had allowed Buffy to make a choice for Spike - that would have be such a great ending to their journey. Alas - Joss went with what I think was a totally lame ending with the premise of Buffy being confused about her relationships.

Summary: Set end of season 2 goes off canon just before Becoming Part 1.



When Spike finds he can walk again, he goes to Buffy to make a truce, coming together to put a stop to Angelus and Drusilla's plans but when Spike shows up at Buffy's house one night to talk strategy he is horrified to find Buffy beaten, bloody and raped on the bathroom floor a snarling Angelus standing over her.



After saving her life he finds the once vibrant slayer is now broken and scared. Will he be able to save her? Or will she be lost forever?

Wonderful story - to see Buffy have to live through the ending of her Angel Love relationship in such a brutal and emotionally devastating way. I really like how you used Spike as the contrast and healing partner to Angel/Angelus. Good treatment for all the other characters as well. Great Reading this again.

Summary: This starts at season 5 episode 10, "Into The Woods." Spike takes Buffy to see the vampire whorehouse where Riley has been spending his nights. How will Buffy react when she witnesses first hand Riley's behavior towards Spike on the day after?

Glad to have a story about these events - I always disliked the way that Riley put all that pressure on Buffy. Also, while it was very much in character for Spike at this time - I always felt that JM played it so right. Spike was such a blockhead with his smirk at Riley and his lack on understanding that Buffy was not going to be appreciative of his showing what her boy friend was getting into. Spike did the right thing in showing her because things could so easily have gone to hell had Riley been turned.

sounds like a good read - an alternative to Buffy listening to Xander's Run After Him baloney - particularly since we know how insightful he is with the wedding that almost was.

Summary: Summary: Dawn’s wish to Halfrek is quite different from canon and may wind up being the best gift Buffy receives for her birthday, even if it is late in the receiving. Setting: S6 and begins to go AU at “Older and Far Away”

NICE Xander chapter - not a character that I particularly liked in the series, but I like your having him look at himself with a lot more self-awareness than the series did regarding the marriage that never was.

I like how you used the last two characters for your ending - especially now that D'Hoffryn is playing such an important part in the comic books.

Also have to say how much I like your treatment for Xander - let him grow up and not be the jerk that he is so often depicted as in Spuffy fanficiton.

Unexpected by Passion4Spike Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 167]
Summary:




**~**
This story picks up at the end of Season 2, The Becoming 2 and goes off canon about half way through that episode.

Buffy has made a deal with Spike to defeat Angelus. It goes off canon when Buffy leaves Giles' flat after talking with Whistler about how to defeat Angelus.

Will Spike still help Buffy defeat Angelus when things go pear shaped? And what then? Where will their lives go from there?

You'll find familiar challenges for Buffy with unexpected results as Spike faces them with her. If you like a story with love, romance, sex, fights, angst, tears, laughter, marriage and babies then you're in the right place! I hope you enjoy it!

I am so glad that you are still working on this saga - This is my second reading of this part - wanted to start again so that I could read all you have thus far. I love how you are using images for each chapter.

NICE change from the series with Buffy wearing the amulet - and it is so good to have Tara still working with Willow.

Author's Response: Thank you! I just thought that since in this world she *knew* what was waiting for them in the Hellmouth that she would\'ve been more tempted to take the extra power from the Shadowmen and that would\'ve made her able to wear it. And of course, Spike would not just leave her there - no way. Tara\'s death was so heartbreaking, that was just something I couldn\'t do again. Glad you\'re enjoying the changes!

like how your brought her back and how you showed Spike's extreme depression and inability to let go of Buffy. While not so good for his daughter, your treatment has a realistic interpretation of how he might have acted. I do think that temporarily Spike would not have been able to control all his sorrow and pain and loss of Buffy.

Author's Response: Hi nmcil, Thanks so much for reading and for stopping in here to review! I really appeciate it... I\'m glad you felt how Spike acted was realistic ... as broken as he was in canon, how much more broken would he be if he\'d been married to her and had his affections returned..? Thanks so much for reading - I hope you enjoy the rest of the story... -P4S 2010.08.17

Enjoying reading this very much - reading stories of the earlier seasons is one of my favorite of all fanfiction treats. Especially now that writers are not doing much with seasons 1 to 3 these stories are very special to me.

Wonderful Spuffy Claim story - well done. Not sure why Angelus could not sense that Buffy was claimed - as it seems like it would have been natural and obvious for him to be able to sense the claim. However, I enjoyed your story very much.
