During Spike and Buffy's confrontation in the bathroom, Buffy has a vision that changes how she perceives the vampire. Can this perception survive a trip to Los Angeles to rescue Angel? Scenario #3 of the Immortal Guardian Series
Ha! Anya always gets her man, er, men. I love the idea of the two men wooing her (she deserves to be wooed). & I liked Spike having his own vision about the future. Can't wait for him to mate with Buffy! I also liked Wes strong-arming Connor into helping with Angel. I think if Angel forgives him, Wes can help keep Connor in line. Great update!
I loved everything about this chapter. I especially like how Buffy wants to mate with Spike because she loves him, stopping the First is just a benefit. And I liked Spuffy standing up for Wes, though I think it'll take a bit more for Angel and the crew to chill. Haha at Warren getting his monthly visitor, maybe that will teach him some respect for women. And big yay for Lorne at the Hyperion and Giles and Reggie finally making it there! Terrific chapter!
Hee! That last sentence made me giggle. Glad this Buffy won't have any more money worries and that the Keyness is leaving this Dawn. I do worry a bit that Spike might become insecure and think Buffy only (or mostly) wants the mating to stop the First rather than because of how much she loves him. Also, Fed and Gunn babysitting little demons? That should be some hilarious fun! I can't wait to see Faith's trial.
Can Buffy steal Lorne too? LOL I love that she's just co-opting Angel's people. And I'm so glad she laid down the law with Angel--though I get the feeling it won't be the last time. And I hope Buffy wants to discuss the removal of the chip with Spike. Oh and I think it would be funny if Dru is either Lawson or Groo's mate. :D. Great update!
Hee! One more thing for Angel to be pissed about (when he realizes Spuffy DO own the hotel). I liked that Warren was turned into a goat and that Xander is still broadening his horizons. And I can't wait for Giles and Reggie and Spuffy to sit down and have a good chat. Good chapter!
I loved Buffy taking everything in hand with anchoring Angel's soul and arranging the trip back to Sunnydale with their purloined people. Yay! And I'm glad it's just Spuffy, Dawn and their pet at Revello now, they need the room. Great update!
I'm glad that Connor didn't end up marrying Dawn, that sometimes seems squicky to me when I see it in fanfic. Good to see the Sunnydalers doing so well and happy as clams. Poor Wes, though! Willow and Tara pregnant at the same time has to be rough. And I'd feel for Angel if he didn't revel in his misery. Thank you for another wonderful story!
Based on Buffy's dream from Day 8 of Fixing the Factors, in fact that's the prologue. Spuffy of course, with other pairings, canon and otherwise.
Fantastic Spuffy smut, as always! :D Loved the Xander/Cordelia/Anya convo--especially the claiming between Xander & Cordelia--that was sweet & kinda cool. I really liked how you incorporated Doyle into things as well. Ooh, who's that blonde guy? Andrew, perhaps? Can't wait to find out. & I liked the Draconis convo before Mina interrupted--is an all-out war happening? Very intriguing! Great chappie & happy 4th of July!
Okay...first things first...Andrew just cracked me up! Great surprise, I think Spuffy can accomodate him, especially if he tells them how he tapped into their security feed. & I liked the little moment between Nest & Lilah--two parents awaiting the birth of their child. Nice to see the Gem of Amara in play, btw. & I can't wait to see the Spike/Angelus fight--I love seeing Spike whup bootay! :P & I'm glad Angelus is heading for Drusilla--mainly b/c I like her & look forward to seeing what she has to say to her Sire. Fantastic chappie!
Tee-hee! So much fun to be had! Loved Buffy's reaction to Angelus' challenge, & how Faith followed in her footsteps. & I adored that Angelus was thwarted (as far as Dru was concerned) by a simple yearly sojourn. Hope the servant girl will be alright. & I totally adored seeing Lilah give birth to Heinrich's baby girl, reminded me a little of Angel/Dru just before Connor was born. Can't help hoping Andrew gets what he wants, but I do worry that Wood might be a smidge of a problem, thanks to Angelus. Fantastic chappie! :D
Aww...li'l Andrew!! Love seeing him. LOL & I adore his plans for Angelus--might knock Angelus down a peg or two. (Though a part of me guesses he wishes he could have a night w/ Spike!) & very interesting tribute from Draconis, I like the idea of baby dragons hanging around, imprinting to the kids. & yay! Heinrich's baby was born safely & a-okay! (Never thought I'd be happy about anything that made Nest happy, LOL) & I really liked Tasha's excitement to show Giles the new gifts. Great chappie! :D
Great chappie! I really liked that Darla gave Almerta a heads up about how she can get her revenge on Angelus. & I thought Darla having permission to turn humans in Spike's compound was a nice touch. Just one more way that shows how out of touch w/ Spike's power, Angelus really is. & the dragons sound adorable! Can't wait to find out more about them...especially since they imprinted w/ the kids & are talking to them pre-birth. I also liked seeing Spike's fatherly side, both reprimanding the kids & recognizing a good font of information. Oh & I thought it was kinda perfect that Dalton was the first to test out the Gem of Amara...hope he isn't chosen for the "stake" test! LOL Hope we get to find out in more detail about how the Slayers & Watchers of the New Council became entrenched w/ Spike. (Besides Buffy, since she was already his slave when she became the Slayer.) If it isn't planned for this story, perhaps a one-shot side story? :D I'm greedy, I know.
Evul, evul author! Leaving us hanging just before the fight starts! LOL Another great chapter...I really loved seeing the Spuffy connection. & ooh! Is there something up w/ Tasha's dragon (perhaps a shape-shifter--or having a human form as well or something since the mom was a Slayer?)? Can't wait to find out...& I get the feeling Rus will be getting a girlfriend soon, I don't think Tasha will be distracted for long. :D I am a li'l surprised that Maggie's alive in this AU world...I would've thought that one of the vampire clans (or someone else) would've taken her out by now, given what her research led to (ie: the chips). & I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Angelus taken down a peg or three. :)
Hee! Loved seeing Angelus taken down a peg...or three! Especially w/ the commentary from Darla--& banishment from the clan? Ooh, boy! If Almerta & Andrew didn't already have plans for him, Angelus would find out just how little the rest of the world likes him. & yay for Giles! Whoo-hoo!!!!!! Glad to see him there supporting Spuffy (w/ crossbow in hand, Giles is so hot when he's armed! ;D). I also really enjoyed Buffy's threats & the idea of using Maggie Walsh rather than her being allowed to use them. Can't wait to see the warring! I'm sure Spike will have everything well in hand, though. Great update!
Absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed seeing the mating ceremony & I liked the magic of the cords tightening themselves b/c of a strong bond. Loved the gifts, especially the seedling. & I liked that we finally saw the ritual to impregnate the ladies, it seems like this Willow has more control to balance her power than canon, which I really like. Oh & Poofycakes? BWAH!!! I rolled for a good 5 minutes laughing @ that. Excellent chappie!
Fantastic ending! Aww...I felt bad for Buffy w/ her punishment since she was just acting like a Slayer. The children part was harsh! But I was cracking up at Angelus' many outfits of punishment. I laughed a lot. & I love that you left us with a little extra Spuffy smut! :D Great story, & wonderful epilogue by Tasha! :)
Response from Tasha: Thank you ClarityFades. I'm glad you liked it. I know the punishment was harsh, but I just felt that Spike would have to make an example of the situation ... to show that no one is above being punished. Those in Spike's clan would have known just how much the children meant to Buffy. So, it would give the punishment more meaning for showing that Spike was serious. {Smiles} I'm glad you liked the part about Angelus too. MaryPerk does such a great job of adding parallels between her stories. In one of them she talks about Angelus and a purpley pink glittered tutu being needed for the Acathla ritual and Angleus trying to find one etc. So, it just seemed to be a perfect fit here to truly humiliate Angelus.
William Giles and Elizabeth Summers are betrothed. They are bound by a magic that will not allow them to be apart for any reason. Not even if William gets turned and Elizabeth is really Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Alternate Reality story.
Great chappie! I really liked the emergence of Spike-all jealous. Ooh baby! & I love that Buffy's stake that hit Angelus was poisoned...that was a nice touch. Good that he's out of the way. Oh Cecily, what will Ethan do to you? & will we see it? :P I'm really enjoying the little bits of Wes & Illyria as well...now they just have to save Alonna from Trick--can't wait to see how that happens! :D & I loved Alonna's back talk about Trick not truly being Olivia's mate, even if she did pay for her remarks. Loved the whole thing!!
Aww...I knew Gunn wouldn't be able to stay away from his sister! Glad he's gonna get her away from Trick. & I loved Ethan telling Giles that he owed him one--Cecily's punishment is quite fitting, I like it a lot. :P & of course, I loved the Spuffy, especially them working together to burn down the whorehouses. Stupid Mayor, Queen Slayer rules all! Oh & I hope we hear a li'l more about what exactly a Queen Slayer is (& what powers & responsibilities come w/ it). & I liked that Joyce & Rich hit it off right away...that was cute. :D Great chappie!!
Aww...that was sweet for Rich & Joyce! I liked that Alonna trusted Gunn enough to leave Trick--& it cracked me up that Trick thought she was dust, instead of leaving him. Really like the inclusion of Andrew & Jonathan--& their plan to bilk more money out of Warren was hilarious...can't wait to see them work w/ Spike to make the plan come to fruition. Great chappie!
First of all, the Watcher's Council's mercs are STOOOOPID! LOL Loved that Angelus is back in play, I was hoping he wasn't down for the count. & I really liked Jonathan & Andrew...they cracked me up!!! I like the idea of William being their financial backer for a new board game, nice touch. & I really enjoyed the Dawn & Xander snark while being kidnapped, nice to see Xander was right about the "let's just walk away" thing. Terrific chappie! :D
Great chapter! I loved Buffy throwing the stake out the window to kill Chad. That made me giggle. LOL & I really liked seeing the gang mobilize to save Dawn & Xander--especially w/ their new addition in Alonna. Maybe she can be a major force in the rescue? It might help her deal w/ some of her issues stemming from her time w/ Trick. & yay! Sam Lawson sighting!! Though I'm trying to figure out who to pair him with, since the other ladies seem to be spoken for. Hmm... :D Loved Angelus' li'l speech to him & the crew on the boat & I can't wait to see what happens (methinks Lawson will still be as special like Spike). & damn! Ethan's got some plans for Cecily! Can't wait to see what those are. Hee! That was fun, thanks!
Hmm...I wonder if Trick was off meeting w/ the Mayor & thus escaped the Slayer's vengeance? I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. It's nice to see that Xander & Dawn's relationship is starting to pick up a little steam. Love seeing Cecily get what she deserves & I can't wait to see the Spuffy ceremony! Also, glad to see Angelus didn't give up, can't wait for Lawson to ditch him! LOL
Fantastic chappie! & I'm sure you know my vote is for some wedding night smut! :D Yay for Lawson! & I liked seeing everyone banding together to show Joyce & Rich their acceptance of the marriage. Nice job!
Great chapter! Loved the Parker/Riley inclusion...that cracked me up! & I like that the Slayer & her crew know what's up in town, especially enough to counteract Catherine. Nice "wish granted", by the way. I adore Illyria & Anyanka working together to harass the Mayor. Yay! Angelus is dust, & I really like how William did it, particularly since Clem got to be a part of things. I'm so sad this story is about to end...but it's been a fun ride! Can't wait for the Spuffy wedding night smut! :D
Aww...a wonderful ending to a great story! I enjoyed every minute of this. I especially like that the epilogue was almost all Spuffy goodness! Yay! :D
