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!
