Redemption by spufette Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 228]
Summary: Buffy Summers is the adored daughter of Hank and Joyce Summers, farmers in Nebraska, circa 1876. Buffy is engaged to Caleb Montgomery, a local rich farmer. Spike is in a gang of outlaws headed by his older cousin, Angel Crawford. (I love bad ass Spike and Angel, oh yeah, and Rupert, Spike's dad; Xander, Riley, Graham, heck everybody gets into the act!) Anyway, when Spike spies Buffy at a 'social' in Redemption, he decides to 'court' her. Which is going to be tough since he and the gang our about ready to empty the local bank's vault of all it's money and escape the local law. Warnings: Spike and Angel are the bad guys here (yum!). Buffy is temporarily out to pasture with Caleb but their relationship will not be graphic at all, promise. This starts mild, but goes NC-17 in the Spuffy parts!

That has got to be one of the most original premises for a fic I've seen in a good long while. Now I feel like I HAVE to read it. Great summary - you've got me hooked from the start.

Author's Response: Thank you. I hope you do read it. I know period pieces are not everyone's faves but I do enjoy reading them and writing them. spuf

Awwwwww. Such a sweet ending for those two - they rarely get that. Just wonderful. A really enjoyable read. I loved watching them be playful, flirty & happy together, then finally getting all that they deserve. No wonder this story is on TSR's most read list :)

"So she’d been kidnapped by a drunken slayer-killer who thought enough of her to masturbate as she lay unconscious, chained to his bed. Today was so not her day."

Great line! Excellent follow up to the stellar first chapter. This is very in character & feels like an actual episode to me. You've captured Season 3 Buffy & Spike perfectly. Lovely job, I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

"Remember right now. You’re in charge. You have me under you. If you wanted, you could end it.” A shaky breath hissed through his teeth, and his chest trembled beneath her palms. “So what’s it gonna be, Slayer? You gonna fuck me, or kill me?” One of the single hottest lines I have ever read. GUH.

Ooooweee! Hot start! One of the sexiest first chapters ever, plus great descriptives & characterization. Looking forward to more :D

Summary: COMPLETED Buffy Summers is successful and content with every aspect of her life save one: her sex life. Sick of methodical vanilla sex with her current boyfriend, she still has never been able to achieve an honest first-rate orgasm in her entire life. Then one day she stumbles upon a mysterious escort service online that offers her hope of a perfect sexual experience and impulsively decides to seek out their help. What starts as a simple business transaction turns into a night of unbridled passion-filled sex with the handsome stranger the service pairs her with, leaving both of them to question if once is truly enough. Special noteThis is NOT porn without plot. Matter of fact it's loaded with plot. Please do not shy away from this theme as I think you will be pleasantly surprised as to what's really inside. Thanks.

Oh WOW, this was good. Such delightful banter between them. Great sense of space & setting - I feel immersed in this strange world with them. And your writing is beautiful, I loved this: The way he was looking at her, as if she were wonderful and amazing and delightful and special, made her breath catch and her heart beat faster.

You were recommended to me by a friend - I'll have to thank her. This is the best new fic I've read in a good while. I look forward to devouring your stories!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I\'m so glad you like it! This is one of my favorite stories.

You are completely undoing me with this story. Your Spike is so sweet & so dear; "He could do without sex, had done all those months that Dru was sick. It was being with the loved one that was important."

And your writing is beautiful. The last paragraph made my heart ache. I am thoroughly enjoying this. Just wonderful.

Author's Response: Spike\'s utter commitment is one of the lovely things about him. Thank you so much for liking the story!

So much happened here! First of all, your Anya is fabulous: ""A sexually satisfied Slayer is a better Slayer. Anyone knows that." Ha! And you nailed Xander. I've never heard a better explanation for his behavior. You've also gotten the Scoobies down as whole & how they treat her. Brilliant observations & just great writing. You've made me a fan :)

Author's Response: I always hated the way the Scoobs pushed Buffy around. And Anya is always so much fun to write. I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying this! Thank you!

Author's Response: Spike would never have been able to resist that line. :D I\'m so glad you liked it! Always a Spuffy ending with me.

*Applauds* Oh, BRAVO. That was brilliantly written & so full of the real world & its truth & pain that it stole my breath. This is far more angsty than I normally like my fic but it's just too well done not to enjoy & appreciate. You should very seriously be published. You have a gift for story telling, doll. Truly.

Author's Response: Thanks so much. :)

Following a harrowing night of passion, Buffy and Spike resume their dark education. Are they merely acting out the parts they've been given? Or is there something more going on behind the scenes?

This was really beautiful. One of the most well-written fics I've ever read. I got lost in the narrative & the world you were creating. You really put us inside Buffy's head & help us feel & understand what she's going through. I bled for Spike trying so hard to get through to her. Extremely well done. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Author's Response: Thanks so much.

Summary: This is the third story in the "Dirty Blondes" series. The tale picks up where "Break a Leg" left off, shifting back to Spike's POV once more.

Now that the opening salvos have been fired from both sides, the ex-arch-enemies wage war with sexual gymnastics, dirty laundry and words, words, words...

Your descriptions are *golden*: "He felt savagely real and alive when he got back on the street, slashing and weaving through the slow parade of weekend foot traffic with warm blood on his knuckles. He licked his lips and stroked his hair. Lit the night up with a sinister leer."

And this: "As they closed in on the giant prat, Spike got that odd sensation again — the one he always felt whenever they fought side-by-side. It was as though there were a secret conversation going on between their bodies, carved in particles of air. "

Your Spike characterization was just perfect too. You'd almost swear this was dialogue from the show. I loved the peek inside his head & also his "evil errands."

Very interesting premise, can't wait to see where you go with this. Please keep writing. I could read this series forever.



Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really loved these characters on the show (and particularly their witty repartee). It has been a lot of fun writing this series so far.

Author's Response: YAY! Haha, yeah, I liked coming up with something that just gave the Scoobs a break from the serious impending doom they\'re constantly facing. I was just thinking I need to get the final part of this trilogy written and posted soon, but I\'ve been working on two other projects and finishing IWY first. I must get writing to finish this series off. Thank you for reviewing :)
