I normally dislike the "Angelus rapes Willow until she likes it" genre with the firey passion of a thousand flaming suns, but it looks as if Xander is gearing up to help rescue her. That would be all kinds of awesome.

[lucy_ash]

I don't like that genre much myself. However the "Dru uses her mojo powers on, well, pretty much anybody" I really enjoy writing. Willow isn't liking it so much as being controlled.

Um, Xander a vampire so his idea of rescue? It's going to go bad and seriously not be happy.

Cute icon. Hadn't seen that one before.

I am looking forward to this. I Hope Xander rescues Willow.

[lucy_ash]

Well, he's going to try but, as a vampire, his definition of rescue kind of different from what Willow would want.

I'm really enjoying the way you describe the vampiric household. There's a lot of internal consistency there that reinforces one's credence that that is how it would be.

Spike is marvellous - excellent voice and one which, of course, we rarely hear in fan fic where's he's usually post-chip. BTW - he wouldn't ever say ...tore off of her that sounds really funny to a British-bred ear. He'd say just '...tore off her'.

A couple of tyops (out of order, I'm sorry):

it was going to be a difficult sublect

It's just that Angelus' talking Willow (incidentally, I don't suppose I could talk you into using the apostrophe 's' instead of just the plural-type apostrophe, ie Angelus's could I? Pet peeve of mine, that!) I really heart you for recognising a gerund and the need for the possessive, here.

but my point was that we'd though his taking Xander there's the his, again, instead of him, wonderful! *hugs* but should be thought, not though.

[lucy_ash]

Thanks for the typos. Fixed them up. Except for the apostrope 's' because I'm too lazy to go back and fix all of them. I think I've seen it that way in The Elements of Style but nowhere else so I went with the other. Will reconsider for future works.

Vampires are just so much fun to write! Octavia Butler created a different and fascinating vampire culture in her last book, either titled Fledge of Fledgling. Sad to lose such a great author.

[mwrgana]

Don't know Octavia Butler, I'll look out for her. But get your hands on the Paris Immortal series by S Roit - seriously good stuff.

[lucy_ash]

Thanks. I'll get it out. Sadly not carried by my library so I had to order a copy.

It just keeps getting better! *rushes off to read next part*

[lucy_ash]

Aw, thank you. I'm impressed you're reading so much of it in one sitting. Awesome vamp!Xander icon.
