This darn well better have happy ending. Otherwise I be very peeved and depressed!!!!

Love how they just keep misunderstanding each other

I just stumbled across this story today and I couldn't stop reading. Well done and I can't wait to read more!

This really is dark, dark stuff, isn't it. Quite different from your usual fayre, jl.

I've deliberately kept from commenting so far, because I haven't decided whether I liked the way this was heading. But, now I realise that 'liked' isn't really the right word to describe my feelings for this fic. I've decided it's worth sticking with it because you're doing so well at exploring the effects of a ballsed up situation.

Sometimes, reading a chapter is like wading through treacle... revisiting the same old ground. He gets all riled up and miffed at being dominated, she gets overtaken by the primal part of herself that's made the claim, they fight, she beats shit out of him, shages him senseless, he melts into a gooey puddle of acquiescence and the Slayer calms back down in a post domination shag haze.

It's NOT a D/s story, it's a story about inequality, loss of self determination and confused feelings, but the resulting chaos forever ends up in domination and non consentual submission... maybe that's the squick here... it's a non-con situation?

However, I know that you're a Supffy lover deep, deep down there, and so I'm going to stick with this. I'm interested to see how you ease things out of this treacley inertia we appear to be stuck in.

Yummy--- tough but vulnerable Spike! What girl can resist? Apparently, not even primal dominatrix Buffy! Looking foward to more!

lets hope that they will really talk this time and wonder if she would tell Giles.... waiting for more!!

Woah! What a great story! There's so many wonderful things about this fic... I love the inclusion of Anya, one of my favorite characters. And Buffy-Spike claims are always fun to read about. I can't wait to see how Buffy handles things. I mean that... I can't wait. Please, please, please write more quickly.

i just want to pop buffy in the head. poor spike i feel so bad for him. i read other reviews and i ahve to say i love your story b/c if roles were reversed spike would most likely be acting the same way as buffy. keep up the great work and i look foward to more chapts.

did i mention how much i dislike buffy in this fic??? if i have already, i'm saying it (well...writing it) again. I REALLY DISLIKE BUFFY IN THIS FIC. i don't know what the hell is posessing her but i hope us readers find out soon. spike's been a slave to women enough (yes i said slave cuz that's exactly what buffy is making him out to be) and I think he needs to get a little payback. please tell me he's getting payback soon. anyway, i really do love this fic dispite buffy's behaviour. you're doing a really good job. please keep up the great work. post soon. loved it. wonder what giles is gonna think of his slayer now.

This sobby whimpering version of Spike just isn't ringing true to me. One would think that, being a vampire, he wouldn't be begging for Buffy to stop, and definately wouldn't be whimpering because of pain. He's too much of a victim here...not enough emphasis right now on Buffy's victimization, albeit self-inflicted, because of the ritual. Nevertheless, she is still a victim and seem supremely helpless to control herself. I really would like to know what went wrong? This doesn't seem to be a pure ritual of any kind. More like a blending of the Dominace and Claiming rituals. Did something slip in and possess Buffy, or is this a primitive Slayer coming out? And if it is the Slayer, wouldn't the primative Vampire demon that is Spike delight in the primal play that is happening? Unless, of course, the fact that it is the Slayer has the Vampire reeling. Again, it is difficult to see how this is heading down the road of Spuffy, especially if Spike's want and need for Buffy is forced via whatever ritual actually took place.

ARGHH! I love the story but have to admit I'm getting a little weary of BitchBuffy. (Sorry!) Are they going to find out soon what the problem is? And fix it? Cuz Me can;t standz the Spike-hurtin' no more. Love You!!!

she had a *lot* to make up for.

Can't wait to see how she makes up for it.;)
