Wow, these free-for-all days snuck up on me. But here’s another chapter of All About the Mission (I Would Still Have Loved You, part 2 – to be known from now on as IWSHLY 2 because too many words)

[Fic] Just to Reach You [2/6]
Title: Just To Reach You
Author: sunAlso
Rating: R (M on AO3)
Era: Post-Series
Warnings: Adult language, non-explicit sexual situations
Catnip: Established relationship
Summary: Now that the first rush of being together is over, Spike and Buffy find that they still have a lot to learn about each other.
A/N: For this fic I’m moving a few things around, so assume that AtS S5 and some of Buffy S8 occurred concurrently, except there wasn’t a Twilight arc because: no. No knowledge of the comics is needed to read this fic. The action will move from Cleveland to Spain to Gibraltar. Buffy does talk about Satsu and her sexuality, though there are no flashbacks, and hopefully I’ve altered that in a way that makes their relationship and Willow’s friendship with Buffy during that time far more believable and respectful than the comics did. Beta’d by Gort and Swifthorse. I’m hoping to have the second third chapter ready to go by the end of this round. Links are available at the end of this chapter to Elysian Fields, AO3, and FFN so you can follow updates for the rest of the story if you’d like.
Happy Seasonal Spuffy! Enjoy “Bodice Ripper”
Just like usual, I ended up with something short, weird and unbeta’d. I hope it makes someone out there laugh. Thank you for all the wonderful offerings we’ve had this past month!

Fic: The Curious Case of the Campus Intruders (Chapter 1/5)
Hello and welcome to my posting day! I’d like to thank the mods for keeping this fine community going, and my fellow fans for keeping your Spuffy faith strong this many years! How ’bout this season of the comics, huh? ;)
I have a new story for you. The first chapter’s all I have beta’d so far, but I hope to take full advantage of the Free-For-All days later. I would love to hear what you think so far (please please please)!
Title: The Curious Case of the Campus Intruders (Chapter 1)
Setting: Season 4, around the time of Pangs and Something Blue. Spike’s chipped and seeking asylum with the Slayer, but our pairing has yet to experience Willow’s spell.
Rating: PG-13 for this chapter
Genre: Mystery/drama
Beta: The illustrious All4Spike. All remaining/fresh errors mine.
Comments: Would you please be so kind? :)
All About the Mission, Chapter 1
So, my plan was to keep working on this story and hope to have enough to begin posting on one of the free for all days at the end of the month, but I think I’ll put the first chapter up here today, and add the rest during the last free-for-all days.
It’s a sequel to/part of the verse I Would Still Have Loved You in which Buffy and Spike have been sent back (separately) to change season 5 so that Buffy doesn’t have to jump, or, if she does, that Willow does not bring her back. Her resurrection having caused the First Evil to rise and inflict much destruction on the world. They more or less willingly accept their mission, the situation having been sweetened by finding each other much earlier than expected.
This story begins as they near the end of summer and prepare for the arrival of both Dawn and Glory.

Last submission – Thanks Again to all the mods for all your work and to all the participants – wonderful to see all the Spuffy Love.
Again a new graphic with a revised poem – Suggestions on punctuation would be appreciated – was not sure how it should be in a poem.

This is a combination of a new graphic and a revised poem – I am not a writer but sometimes I have these flashes that I can work into a short poem.
Drabble: the opposite of a genderswap
Title: the opposite of a genderswap
Author: thenewbuzwuzz
Setting: AU season 4 or 5, but it doesn’t really make a difference in the text.
Rating: T for body parts.
Notes:
I suspect this isn’t, properly speaking, a drabble. It’s more like a teaser (and so am I). This is a 100-word epilogue to a set of ficlets I’m working on. The entire relevant backstory is that Spike has been stuck in a female body (as Spike does), and he’s now transforming back.
If that one line sounds like “Doomed”, that’s because it is.
Posting fic end first is not the most sensible idea I’ve ever had, but I really wanted to finish something that’s made of words. And it’s separate from the rest of the set anyway. So here we are.

Notes: Since last we saw all you fine folks, we have both been horribly busy working/being ill/parenting/so on and so forth, but we were also really keen to contribute, so here is a new chapter to the story we started last round. Honestly, just posting feels like a minor victory! But we are also hoping to have chapter 9 finished by one of the later free for all days, so keep your fingers crossed for us ;) You can read previous chapters here on LJ, or AO3, or EF. Many thanks to for beta reading. Posted in two parts because LJ.
Your Turn
Author: readerjane
Title: Your Turn
Word count: 482
Author’s notes: “One more oldie from me for this School Hard weekend.
This story is set during the summer between seasons 5 and 6. It refers briefly to both School Hard and Lovers Walk, but sets them in the retconned universe where Dawn was born into the Summers family.”
~~~
The cigarette flared against the night sky.
“Your turn,” Dawn prompted, propping her elbow on her pillow.
Perched on the windowsill, Spike blew smoke into the night. “First time you nicked something.”
Dawn giggled quietly. “In L.A. Mom was always at Buffy’s psychiatrist’s, and I missed my dance class. We went to Walmart to get school supplies. I stuffed a New Kids on the Block CD under my shirt.”
“Got caught, did you?”
“So grounded.” His low chuckle encouraged her. “My turn. First time you smoked a cigarette.”
“At school. Bloke from the upper form dared me. I got sick. Spent the night in infirmary.”
Dawn muffled a laugh. “Did you get teased?”
“Already the butt of the class, wasn’t I? After Dru turned me, I hunted down the older students and–” he broke off, covering the pause with another drag. “Thought you were going to sleep.”
“I’m not tired yet. Your turn.”
“First time you knew Buffy was the Slayer.”
Dawn’s smile faded. “Mom thought Buffy was having delusions, but she had really changed. She was freaky strong. I caught her lifting her bed to look for a shoe.
“One night, I was taking out the garbage and this guy grabbed me. His face was so weird. It was like a nightmare. And then Buffy was there, and she stabbed him, and he dissolved. She made me promise not to tell.”
He sat smoking. Dawn wondered how many times he had been the monster in the night.
“First time you knew you were in love with Buffy.”
He was quiet so long she wondered if he was going to answer. “Caught sight of her in the Bronze. She shone like the sun.”
“Yeah, but then you wanted to kill her. When did you know?”
“You were there, Bit. We were drinking cocoa in the kitchen. Angel burst open the door. Your mum pushed you behind her and stood with her bitty bottle of holy water like she was going to hold back the forces of hell with a garden hose.” Dawn could hear his smile. “I was so busy twitting Angel I didn’t hear your sis. She had me pinned to the counter before I knew what’s what.”
“You are such a masochist. You love it when women beat you up,” Dawn teased.
“Vampire. Evil.” He lit a new cigarette from the end of the first.
The front door opened and closed quietly. Willow’s voice and the Buffybot’s filtered up the stairs.
“That’s Wills home from patrol.” Spike pinched out his smoke and swung his leg over the sill. Dawn knew he wouldn’t stay, not with the bot in the house like a lingering spirit of their dead.
“Spike,” she called softly. He paused.
“We made it through one more day.” Let him be back tomorrow.
“Hundred forty-six.” He was outlined briefly in the moonlight, and then he was gone.

Notes:: Just a little (very little) ficlet for School Hard Weekend! Barbverse, but could just as well be canon-compliant.
fic: Glimpses
Yay, early Seasonal Spuffy kick-off! And what do you know, the next glimpses already lying around on my computer are School Hard ones :)
As these are just glimpses into their heads (and hearts) throughout the series, you really don’t need to read the first chapters posted here in May. Also – again unbetaed due to spontaneity.
Thanks so much to the mods for keeping this so very much alive (and dragging me back in)!
So, here goes:
Title: Glimpses

Era: Season 1 – 7 (this chapter: S2)

Summary: Glimpses into the story of a Slayer and a Vampire. A series of drabbles along the series, each of which can be read as stand-alone; sometimes two build a unit, as is the case here

Glad to see Seasonal Spuffy kicking off. And what a great idea for opening weekend!
One more?
Granted, the episode consisted of more than just the first fight, so here’s a little slightly AU look at the first contact:
From a list of prompts somewhere. I chose this one: If only Spike had caught Buffy’s eye in that club…
Across a Crowded Room….
School Hard anniversary fic
Not something I could miss – the beginning of it all for the Spuffy-inclined amongst us. In honour of the occasion this fic is new.
Juliet Mills, daughter of Sir John, sister of Hayley, was in the film Avanti! in 1972, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. She later went on to play the role of Tabitha in Passions. Spike couldn’t have watched the soap in 1997, as it started in 1999, but I liked the idea of a little shout-out.
All belongs to Joss, but he did say we could play with his toys.
Rating – R for language (It’s Spike), but otherwise PG13.

School Hard mini-season
Ok – no time to write something new, but this very short piece written waaaaay back in the day for someone (name on story, I think) is set in School Hard. It’s all I’ve got that isn’t just one scene in a much longer fic with no relation to SH. This scene stands on its own:
For Braat 44 who wanted to see a Season II attraction between Spike and Buffy.

A/N: Thank you to Gort for the beta! This is just an itty-bitty thing, but if you want, you can squint at it and it fits into the Doomverse. Also, I’m going with the headcanon that Buffy was on her period in School Hard.
Thank you mods for hosting this little celebration and cheers everyone on 20 years of Spike! :-D
