ARCHIVED KUDOS & CRITIQUES

Written in March 2004
A Series of Short Stories for the “Lysa Says: Challenge Me!” Thread
Challenge by Christy
Set S2 BTVS, During or After ‘Killed by Death’,
Cordelia catches Angelus mid-masturbation.

Author’s Note:

This was the first challenge written for my “Challenge Me!” ficathon, and yes, Christy went straight for the smut. No pressure. What started out as some naughty fun turned into an open-ended series of C/Aus short stories. You never know when I’ll be tempted to write more!  ~ Lysa

What are your thoughts about the ‘Baiting a Master Vamp’ series?
Kudos and Critiques are Welcome.

Lysa, Wow wow wow and more wow, this is so good and so hot. Girl once again your muse is back and it’s good too very good —-from Kim

Posted by IMPRESS at AO

Wow pretty much covers it.

Posted by GILLY at AO

Umm, yum, Lysa, hot and sexy vamp. Great fic. Waiting with anticipation for the others.

Posted by ATLANTIS at AO

Get your ass back right now!!!!! I refuse to tell you how hot and damn turning on your fic was until you make a sequel of this!!!!!…ups. Anyway, more!!!

Posted by CHRISTY at AO

Sweet Jesus! That was hot, Lysa! I loved it in every way. It was everything I wanted!

I loved that line!

What a sight to find Angelus beatin’ the meat out your bedroom window…It’s any girl’s fantasy.

Thank you!

Mmmmm….Angelus

There I was, multitasking in an MSN conversation with Cali and Lily while reading this.

I strongly demanded they read this because it had my face up against the computer screen, mentally begging for more. Then I got to the end and suddenly my nice conversation abilities went out the window. All I could think of was you teasing little bitch!! How DARE you leave it there?! ARRGGGHH!!!! No! I refuse to let you leave this unfinished, no way on this Earth will I let you leave this there. Get your teasing, skinny fingers back on your keyboard and start writing

What she said!

Posted by LYSA at AO

Glad you liked it, Christy.

When I started out, I wanted it to be funnier, but Angelus just took over from there. *shrugs* The hardest part of the whole fic…other than the obvious … was trying to figure out where Cordy would catch him.

If she was just tackled by him in a cemetery, I didn’t think she would be sneaking around his place trying to catch a glimpse and getting more than she planned on.

I thought about him watching at the library, but that seemed…eew. I seriously considered her finding him in the girl’s locker room going through her things…that certainly would have added a bit of humor. So I settled on the balcony. I figured that way, Cordelia could unknowingly give Angelus a reason for his..um, hand exercises.

Thanks again for challenging me. I have to say that I would never have picked that situation as a standalone. Might have put it in a serial, but I wouldn’t have picked it on my own. So thanks again.

You are evil woman! Come back here and finish this now! This? This is NOT finished! Make good on Angelus’ promise…er…threat! This was fantastic, which is what I’ve come to expect from my fav epic writer! Look! She can even do standalone! You Jill of All Trades you…LOL

Posted by KATRINA at AO

Wow Lysa, Loved this, your Angelus is sooo sexy and chilling. The promises he makes, the visual entertainment he delivers, it’s all good. I join the chorus asking for a sequel, yes we are greedy where you are concerned, but it’s cos we looove you. hugs —-Kat

Posted by KIMMERS at ST

Lysa, Love this love this so much trully a brillant read —-from Kim

Posted by ANGELLICIOUS (CHRISTY) at ST

You already know that I loved it! I both laughed and drooled over Angelus sitting there beatin’ his meat! —-Thanks, doll

I thought it might be hard also to come up with a place to catch Angelus in the *ahem* act, but I had no doubt that you would pull it off. I think it had the right amount of funny.

And I think you have just given us what could be in a sequel. But I’m going to be vague about it because I don’t want to be a spoiler about it.

As far as this piece being a serial….go ahead. I won’t stop you (If the mood or scenarios strike)

And Deb? LOL

Posted by MANDERS-21 at AO

OMG! This was fantastic Lysa, and you whipped it out so fast! A sequel would be great, but then I’d be willing to take anything you give us. I can’t wait to see what you do with my challenge, I’m so excited. All I can say is Cordy has to be crazy not to jump on top, I mean death isn’t really that bad of an outcome after the best sex ever – what would she ever have to look forward too if she lived? —Amanda

Posted by SYDSVAUGHN at AO

Now this was what I needed to read tonight to get me out of my post-Alias angsty depression. I’m still drooling onto the keyboard and going to print this one for my ‘smut files’ … did I mention how much I adore this? And yes, I’d be all for a sequel!! Damn I love Angelus…   —-SaraC

Posted by CCKE at AO

Lovely story!! Sequel?

Posted by DAMNSKIPPY at AO

All I’ve got to say is that Cordelia Chase is the queen of self control. Maybe possible death is a reason not to jump on that humping, pumping hunk of evil lovin’ but I’d be willing to die happy. Damn what a great fantasy. How lucky am I that I have a balcony? I’m going to go out and buy a lounge chair right now.

Angelus can bring it to my house anytime. This was soooooo damn hot! I bow down to your incredible writing abilities. You just have to write a sequel to this. It’s a moral imperative. Pretty please . . . with chocolate on top.

Posted by HELEN on AO

HOT DAMN Woman. Speechless, so much so I nearly did my patented reply as a guest without realising it. Motor control is GONE! Excuse the extreme lack of sense in this reply lol! Queen of smut, totally and I echo that request for more –Huggles, Helen

Posted by STARLET2367 at ST

Oy, vey, do I love this Angelus. Wicked sexy, meaner than a snake and absolutely shameless. I’m not sure I’d have had Cordy’s self-control if I had to stand there and watch him get himself off. When he said, “Demon in your bed, baby,” I think I nearly exploded. Please, dear God, write a sequel. In the name of all that is unholy and vampiric. Write a sequel. —Kel

Posted by CALIFIST at AO

Just like Scorchy: making a rod for your own back. wonderfully depicted, and great visual [yum]. Never watched a guy do that, being so innocent and all, but I can now say I have a fair idea what it would be like. Must admit, I kept waiting for her to forget herself and accidently step over that threshold without realising- you know, a case of the body over-riding the mind, hehe! That always got me about Angelus; he didn’t mind waiting to get what he wanted. Shows complete control- maybe that is what Angel meant that time; it was the man in him that was/would be his downfall. wonderful, and would love a sequel too- Rod, remember? —Sachxx

Posted by LEX at ST

Whew- that was hot! You write a great Angelus. I hope this

“Sweet dreams, baby,” Angelus smirked one last time before heading for the stone ledge of the balcony. “We’ll play bait and catch again tomorrow.”

Posted by ARKADY at ST

Yikes! This was too good. You write Angelus so well, and your characterisation of Cordy was excellent. The wanting but the danger all combined was perfect. You simply must write a sequel.

Posted by RACHELLE at AO

Get back here. Get back here right now & finish this This is a treasure, Lysa. Pure smut beauty!

Posted by SOMETIMES TACTLESS at ST

WOW! Every time I read one of your stories, I think it can’t get any better, but now I find I’m wrong. The only possible way this could be better is if there is a sequel, one where Cordy gives in to her desire for Angelus (I mean, who wouldn’t let themselves be seduced by the naughty vamp?). This Angelus is dark, sexy, and completely over the top, with Cordy being drawn to that sexiness despite her sense of self-preservation *shakes head in awe of your talent*. Lysa, you are the Queen of Smut and Humor. Wear your crown proudly and please type quickly (for the sequel *wink*) —Sammie

Posted by DAISY at ST

Hoooo boy! Angelus is so deliciously bad, and he knows it too. And I’m with Kel on the “Demon in your bed, baby,” line. It gave me tingles. Nice tingles. There’s gonna be a sequel to this, right? Cos, I mean, you can’t leave us hanging there. It wouldn’t be humane. Wonderful, I loved it!

Posted by PEACHES at AO

I’m taking the bait, baby. Taking it and taking you.

Take me! Take me! Sorry must be that inner-voice thing. I love this story . . . Your portrayal of Angelus is soooo wickedly sexy. I love the way he “baits” her. He is a master at it. Oh, I guess that makes him a . . . master . . . bator. Don’t leave us hanging, Lysa, please. You have to write a sequel. I would love to see Angelus “taking the bait” (in more ways than one). It brings up such wickedly delicious possibilities. Dontcha think?

Posted by MELIAN at ST

Whoa boy!! That was HOT!!!!!

Posted by MARIE at AO

LOL !!

QUOTE
“Sizing me up? No need for a ruler, Cor. Just use your hands,” Angelus encouraged with a leer.

Angelus, ever the old romantic.

This story had me wiping my eyes from laughing so much (sorry if it’s not meant to be funny) but the thought of Angelus pleasuring himself on Cordy’s balcony was just so funny ……… I sure hope Cordelia appreciates all his efforts!!! Loved it. —-Marie

Posted by ANGELIA at ST

I’ve always loved your Angelus, and this time is no exception. Yet another great story Lysa. It’s always a happy day when I see something posted from you. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I see that you’ve posted a couple of other stories that I still have to read which I’m assuming are part of this series of Standalone Challenges. Maybe we should start calling you the Queen of Challenges. Lucky us that we reap the benefits of all your hard work. Looking forward to reading the rest of your stories.

Posted by BERT at ST

Oh, wow, that was fantastic!!!

Posted by SPUFFYNCASHIPPERGAL at ST

Very dayum HOT! I love how you write Angelus, its perfect! I really hope you write a sequel b/c I *need* one! and I know everyone else does too, its to awesome not to have a sequel   ~**KRYSTLE**~

Posted by LISAMARIE514 at ST

Lysa – This was a very very naughty fic, and I loved it

Quote:
So that’s it, Angelus realized as he advanced upon their position with slow grace, the reason Dumb, Dingy and Delicious are on their own. No Slayer games tonight.

That is a great line, I love how you write Angelus, he is so truthful!

Quote:
“Ecstasy and death will come so close,” his husky voice dropped lower as his fangs came close to her neck. Cordelia tensed only to feel his lips on her throat followed by the wet sensation of his tongue trailing along the course of her jugular. “Then you will learn what it is to be mine.”

And how I would love to hear those very words said to me, even if it is from an evil, hottie, vampire. Great job!

Posted by SI CRAZY at AO

Ok, this was HOT and Funny!!!!
I hope you decide to do a sequel, ’cause I know we all would love it!!!

Posted by ANGELS CORDY at ST

This one SO needs a sequel!
It’s screaming: “Sequel, sequel!”
Lysa honey, can’t you hear it??

Posted by NICKLE at ST

Lysa, I’ve read and reread this and it is absolutely a masterpiece. Hot and Hotter. Excellent story, all the way around, and you tell it quite well. I agree, this really does need to be the first in a serial. We need more.  —-B

Posted by HELEN at AO

Oh My God!!! Are you insane?? Of Course we want more, who the hell wouldn’t??Wonderful scene setting babes and Angelus, wow you made him horribly scary and hot at the same time *How the hell do you do that???* Plus the banter between the two of them, damn it makes me wish they’d done more scenes with Cordy and Angelus back in BTVS II. Of course can’t forget the hot, hot smut but….. but…… but – how could you do that to me you evil woman *grr* then LMAO! Getting caught by the SG and Angelus, wishing he could see Xander’s reaction. Crikey, you have to do a Xander POV (Pwetty purlease!!!).Scrumptious stuff Hun, now get crackin’ with the next sequel…’kay!!!!

Lysa, you are an evil tease, come back here right now and write more. I dont care if i seem greedy, but i want a sequel!!!

I loved this fic in every way. It was perfect, hot smut with a nice touch of scariness. Love the way Aus blackmails Cordelia concerning Xander.

Posted by KIT at ST

What do you mean “The End”? You can’t stop here! He didn’t completely “master the bait” yet, did he? Fabulously written. I demand a sequel to this sequel!

Posted by SUNSCORCHED at ST

Ya know, out of all the quotable parts in this fic, one piece really stood out to me more than the rest and it was this bit.

*Just tell me if you want more*

Now I know you aren’t going to make me beg.

P.S. Fucking great sequel babes, loved it muchly.

P.P.S. You’ll get proper FB tomorrow when I’m not in a silly mood.

P.P.P.S. No need to read this, it’s not important.

Lysa, this was absolutely delicious DELICIOUS! Mmm, Angelus is so sexy, and evil, and sexy, and hot. Did I mention sexy? I wish I could leave coherent feedback right now, but I’m so many shades of flustered. Guh! *fans self*

Girl you got me hooked. Really I’ve always been a fan of Angelus and Cordelia and this is so great!!!! Really glad you wrote this sequel and I absolutely don’t mind if you write another part. PLEEEEAAAASE

Posted by DAMNSKIPPY at AO

Great sequel, Lysa, and you are kidding with the “do you want more” question, right?Very, very bad vampire to just give a small taste of what he can do to her body and leave her begging for more. Of course Cordelia begs no man or beast which can be a bad thing when you really, really want more.  I LMAO at this part:

QUOTE
“You’d better let Harris know,” Angelus warned all too seriously, “because if I catch his scent on you, he’s not going to enjoy the last few hours of his pitiful existence.”

Cordelia tried not to sound scared as she countered with, “As if torturing Xander wasn’t always on your list.”

“True,” Angelus chuckled, adding a shrug. “The boy tends to annoy me.”

They know each other so well.

I loved this part and can’t wait for the next. I’m curious about what the title of the next one will be. Master Baiting?

Posted by BECJANE at AO

Of course we want more! That was thud-worthy, Lysa. Angelus was both scary and sexy, and the smut was waay hot! Can’t wait for more, so get writing

Okay I see the School of Smut is in full glorious swing lol. Read this at work in lunch break…. left with seriously wicked thoughts all day now!! Cordy sure knows how to bring out the… ahem … demon in Angelus and not in a bad way. Can just imagine Xander’s face lol. Sequel coming on I hope. —-Marie

Posted by NICKLE at ST

“Yes.” His expression of pure male glee nearly had Cordelia rolling her eyes in response. Without thought of consequences, she wiped the smirk off his face by adding, “Actually, it was Angel.”

Yep, that’s our girl.

*Just tell me if you want more*

Hmmm…do we want more hot, steamy, walkin’ on the wicked side goodness? Hellya! More, more, more. You write Angelus and Cordy well in these stories. I like that your Angelus isn’t all heart. He’s still Angelus, and his motives aren’t at all noble. Good job, Lysa. And yeah. More, please.  —-B

Posted by HELEN at ST

Well I wandered over to ST and found two fave fics…. scrumptious stuff, Lysa Hun, and I agree with B love Angelus with a serious streak of mean. —-Hugs, Helen

“Pfft! Technically, you’re a corpse. I’m just picky about where I put my lips,” Cordelia countered swiftly.

Lysa, your stories always remind me, why Season 2 was my favorite of BtVS, Cordy and Angelus are both hot and funny and have a twisted romantic strike… More? Yeah, pretty please…

Posted by GILLY at AO

Great sequel Lysa, hot and steamy, but of course we want more, we always want more….

How could you leave it there? Poor wittle vamp, all unsatisfied…..

Keep those juices flowing

I loved it, thanks for another C/Aus fic! You do them the best! x

Posted by LUCKYLYN at ST

Lysa, I want more. This is too good to stop. The whole Angelus/Cordy dynamic is sexy, funny, scary, and interesting. Plus I want to know the Scooby reaction to the claiming.

Posted by NICKLE at AO

I so love this story. Your Angelus is so unapologetic and so unredeemable. I really like that. You managed edgy and funny nicely, that’s a neat trick. —–B

Posted by AOIFE at ST

Please, lysa , i want more. I need more!

Posted by KATRINA at AO

Just catching up on my reading now, and boy I didn’t realise what I’d been missing out on. You so rock, that was intense and hot and mm hot. And yes I so want more. I loved the image of Angel purring against Cordy’s throat, so intimate and erotic. I want to know what happens next, I have much too much curiosity. What does Cordy tell Xander and the others, when does she see Angelus next, I have a need to know lol. Sorry, I didn’t give feedback earlier, I’ve been a bad bad Kat and I’m sorry. Hugs —–Kat

Posted by V120176 at ST

I don’t know…. Do I want more???. I need at least two more fic of these to decide —-V.

You know, I work at Blockbuster Video and I think our new ‘slogan’ fits your final question…   “More, More, More!” and/or ‘There’s always room for more” Trust me, this is a story I’d love to see go on, encounter after encounter after encounter! Lovely and sexy and smutty and oh so good!  —–SaraC

COMMENTS & CRITIQUES for ‘HOOKED on the BAIT’

Posted by CYDNESTORM at AO

Absolutely fabulous, Lysa. I loved every word. The tension and emotion between Cordelia and Angelus was perfect, the movie theatre scene erotic and teasing. Anxiously awaiting Interlude 4. —–Cyd

Posted by YOUPIN at AO

It was so great to see another part to this series.I love that Angelus is taking the time for Cordy to be open to him and care for him but one can sense that it’s beyond just lust and death.When he saves her it is about possession but when she falls into his arms it seems like it is more that possession and he could genuinely care for her.It’s obvious that she is scared of her reaction to him.I can’t wait for the next part.

Posted by LISMAC at AO

I just reread this series last night. Another great addition!! I think you did a nice job of the style. I still prefer the pace of conversation and banter but this flowed well. Congrats.

It takes me a minute to convert to Angelus of BTVS, because he did play alot more back then. He was more about the game than the ATS Angelus who I thought was more about the win. But it just takes that pause and then I can see them as I read your work, you capture their characters very well. Plus I love to see him play and I love to see Cordy ….get played.

Posted by SAMSOM at AO

Awesome interlude, Lysa. I was really in the moment with these two, the intimacy very apparent. I especially loved the interaction after Aus saves her from the skinhead vamp – the emotion between them was palpable and real. Angelus is more than just wanting her, he’s beginning to love her. Gah. A scary and delicious thought all at once. I can’t wait for the next one.

Posted by CORDELIA’S DESTINY at AO

You give me the shivers. and i do mean that in the best way possible. Your aus is deliciously wicked.

ETA: I love the present tense, as I’m sure you know from beta’ing some of my fics. Anyway, there’s something so urgent about present tense writing; it brings the reader in the moment in a way that traditional tenses don’t. For this type of fic, it’s a perfect choice. It heightens the suspense and it only makes us want to read faster.

Bravo!

Posted by ANNE at ST

Damn, this needs to be on the serial thread— meaning I want more…. I’ve said this before— you are one of the few writers that make me cheer for Angelus and Cordelia. Hot…thank you. —-anne

Posted by VAMP.I. at AO

OMG! I’m glad that this series is being continued! While I loved the intense emotion during/after the fight with the other vampire and the theater smut made me appreciate Angelus’ intent to seduce Cordy, the school scene gets me most, the audacity!

Posted by TRIX at AO

Lovely to see more “parts” in this serie. a *big* THanX’s !!!

Posted by ANGELSGIRL1211 at AO

Love it!! I love Angelus/Cordy dynamic and you have them perfect!! Your Angelus is just EVIL!! I love that! You did a superb job!! I had to go back and read Baiting a Master Vamp and Mastering the Bait again just because I forgot how much I love the way you write these two!! more more more!! Pretty please!!

Posted by CALIFI at AO

Everytime I see this title I end up doing a happy dance… Cali got her wa-ay, Cali got her wa-y … *smug grin*

And hee! everytime I read this, it just rings better. My fave part has to be the last bit, from the vamp attack onwards. A perfect kinda-ending (as in more to come, *squee*), in my opinion, as the longer Angelus puts it off, the more involved they are with each other; all good.

Also, can hold nothing but admiration at being brave enough for the present tense. Only a few Authors I know use this to the maximum impact, and now you’ve joined Teh List. *licks* Only attempted it once or twice myself, but that was contained in two rather short chapters- and believe me, it really took it outta me, gah!

so kudos, L, for a faboo in-the-moment slice of Delish C/Aus. Loved it.

Posted by ASHLEY in the Guestbook:

I def hope you decide to continue the Bait Series one of these days – I’m enjoying Angelus a little dark but not so crazy u can’t see him caring/liking Cordy and I’m really enjoying their relationship build.

Posted by CHERELLI at AO

Loved the seduction told from a narrative format. It really worked for me. The argument in the hallway at school, the janitor’s closet, the movie theatre, and the fight provided the push pull that is constant in Cordy/Angel dynamics. It flowed as if it was the directions/dialogue for a episode.

Hi— I adore your Baiting a Master Vamp series. Any chance you’re going to continue it?

EMAIL from MERCEDES64 (LIA):

Baiting a Master Vamp/Mastering the Bait
I know that you said that you hadn’t forgotten about this, and I am so glad to hear it! This is an exciting series, and you know that I love Angelus/Cordelia. I think that you mentioned rewriting it, but I love it the way it is. Whatever you decide will be terrific, of course, except maybe not continuing it. Please, please, please keep writing. How will Xander react to Angelus claiming Cordy? What is the next step in her relationships with the two of them? What is Buffy going to say? What will Giles say? I can’t wait to find out!
