Summary: A depressed and distraught Buffy gets herself into more trouble than she can handle, which works out just fine for Angelus. The challenge is whether Angelus can successfully manipulate people and events in order to get what he wants. But just what is Angelus striving for, and where do Buffy, Spike and Drusilla fit in? Picks up mid-season two sometime after “I Only Have Eyes for You.” Answer to a Bloodverse challenge, which wanted Buffy/Spike/Angelus. NOMINATED AT FANG FETISH AWARDS!!

1. Chapter 1: Reunion by Anaunthe [Reviews - 8] Liked (4126 words)
I don't even remember when I began this fic, but it was some time ago. OracleHolly beta'd the first several chapters for me (thank you, thank you), and then I shelved it because I thought it wasn't going in the direction I wanted it to. Now I am taking it out and sprucing it up to see if you like it.

Things You Should Know: This fic begins in Season Two with Buffy/Angelus. Angelus is not nice. If you can't take Buffy/Other, this fic is probably not for you. Right now Spike is still in a wheelchair, but he is the Spike of Seaon Two and is not nice either. Hence, the Adults Only Rating.

More Warnings: This fic is both racy and dark. It depicts non-consenual acts, obsession, domination, addiction, torture, suicidal thoughts and other unpleasantness as well as slash and multiple pairings. If you think this will offend you, DON"T READ IT.

Thanks for the fab reviews. You said pretty much what every author wants to hear, hence the quick post of chapter 2. As for the reviewer who wondered when Spike would make his appearance, remember, this is season two and Spike is still in a wheelchair. I'm trying my best to make this story plausible and mostly within established events from canon (though the timeline may be off a little bit). Trust me, we'll get to see Spike, but it will take a little while.

Additional Warning: bloodplay. But if that bothers you, you shouldn't be reading this fic anyway.

4. 4. Bargain by Anaunthe [Reviews - 3] Liked (2020 words)
Hang in there and don't despair. We meet Spike in the following chapter. Buffy meets him in the chapter after that.

Well, at least Spike is in this chapter. He'll become a more prominent character hereafter.

6. 6. Confrontation by Anaunthe [Reviews - 3] Liked (2660 words)
Sorry, I made a mistake and posted chapter 7 without chapter 6. This should make more sense, for those of you who are in to that sort of thing. Will re-post 7 soon.

7. 7. Obedience by Anaunthe [Reviews - 7] Liked (2285 words)
Warning: The last time Buffy and Spike met was when they fought in the church and Spike wound up in a wheelchair. They do NOT like one another. So although the following chapters are Spuffy don’t expect fluffy.

If you left me a review of this story and your name is Debbie, the program won't let me respond (don't know why, some glitch somewhere). Besides that, I try to always respond to any reviews - so if you're reading, leave me one!

10. 10. Get it Done by Anaunthe [Reviews - 6] Liked (1797 words)
As you'll see, I've written this Spike as a little more injured than most, so it becomes a major factor in motivating and proscribing everything that he does and cannot do and affects how Buffy responds to him.

I'm gonna put ALL the WARNINGS on for the next chapter or two, mostly for content, because I don't think anyone wants too graphic a description of these particular events...

I am SO excited. This story has been NOMINATED AT THE FANG FETISH AWARDS! And I didn't even have to bribe some one to do it! Thank you so much.

Finally got rid of the monsters - ah houseguests- and RL will return to normal for a few days before it gets wild again. The faster you read and review, the faster I will post. I hope to have it finished before the end of the month - but that's entirely up to you! I need your reviews to spur on my muse.

18. 18. Revelations by Anaunthe [Reviews - 7] Liked (1151 words)
I appreciate all of your reviews. Please let me know what you are thinking. I never could understand how season 2 Angelus could treat Spike like dirt - esp. when Spike was so obviously not expecting him to.

I'm trying to wrap this up in the next few days, so I won't be as good at responding to your reviews. But please, don't use that as an excuse to stop leaving them!

A/N: Sorry for the long delay between postings, but I found that rushing to finish before leaving town was not a good idea because I found myself making stupid mistakes. I’d rather have the story read the way it should, even it means making you all wait a little longer. Anyway, it should be back on track now, with regular updates. The more reviews you leave, the faster I’ll finish. If you’ve lost track, I’ve written a very brief summary to refresh your memory.

This chapter recently revised thanks to feedback from you, the readers. I hope Spike's feelings at the end of this story are more clear now. As always, thanks for your comments/suggestions.
