Written as an entry to Spuffy Smutathon on the Spuffy_ficathon community of the LJ, summer of 2005. My "recipient" wasn't 17 so the NC17 requiment was dicey. My ultimate solution was to write two versions of those chapters where it might be an issue. Both versions were posted with proper disclaimers.

I am posting the NC17 version here. The other optional chapters may be posted later as options if enough readers request I do so. No difference in narrative just the sex scenes are more detailed in this version and merely alluded to in the PG version.

Requirements for challenge: Bitey, Claim, Humor, showdown between Angel and Spike over Buffy. No Riley or whiney Dawn

Some dialogue is directly from the episode "The Gift". Some spoilers for early S6.
