When the Ice Has Melted

This entry is part 1 of 9 in the series When the Ice Has Melted

Okay, if I lived on an island in the middle of the Atlantic (or maybe just off-shore), it would already be tomorrow, so I’m going to jump the gun just a tiny bit and start posting my fic before I go to sleep. This way, I’ll be able to do more posting before I leave for work in the morning, and finish it up when I get home in the afternoon. That’s the plan, anyway.

So, here is my offering for this round. It’s pretty ordinary and kinda retro for me. I’ve been mostly playing in various possible futures lately, but this is a Season Five AU fic that follows a non-canon pwp ficlet about an encounter between Spike and Buffy. Thanks are owed to eowyn_315 who read the beginning of it a long time ago when it was just a bunny and smacked me around until I cleaned up the most egregious of the canon issues (Not all of them, I’m sure. Don’t blame her – she tried!) And more thanks to my two wonderful betas, alwaysjbj and just_sue who had to read the whole thing and catch my other errors and inevitable typos. Any further mistakes are probably due to my incessant fiddling, so give me a holler if you see anything amiss. Please. :)

Title: When the Ice Has Melted
Author: Slaymesoftly
Word count: 24,000 + or – (Nine Chapters)
Disclaimer: Joss’s characters, my twist on his Season V
Summary: a sequel to my little pwp – How Can Something So Cold Make Me So Hot? in which Buffy found to her surprise that Spike knew just how to cool down her sunburn. All you really need to know about that ficlet is that Ms De Nile and Mr Big Bad found themselves willing to use any excuse to give in to urges neither one really knew they had. I don’t think it’s necessary to read that first, but it’s short and smutty so if that’s your thing…  Continue Reading →

Hello there. Today I bring you a Season 5 fic that goes AU during “Intervention”. I’m posting the Prologue and Chapter 1 now; the rest should be up in the late afternoon/evening.

Thank you to enigmaticblues for running this festival of Spuffy, and slackerace for the quick beta work. (And always thanks to rabid1st, just ’cause.)

FIC: His Girls

angearia

Title:  His Girls
Author: angearia
Summary: In the happier times, there are no stages to be worked through – there’s only Life.
Warnings: Extreme schmoop lies within.  The baby’s only gotten cuter, so be forewarned.
Rating: PG
Timeline: Post-Not Fade Away. Sequel to “To Be Born Again”
Word Count: 500

Author’s Note:  Why yes, the babyfic has run away with me!  I’m sure it’s just a phase.  There’s only so much schmoop I can take before I melt into a puddle of goo and fade away.  Lovely banner is by the talented moscow_watcher

FIC: To Be Born Again

Title: To Be Born Again
Author: angearia
Summary: Buffy has been brought back from the dead twice already, but the third time’s the charm.
Timeline: Post-Not Fade Away.
Warnings: None.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 500

Author’s Note: First off, thank you to enigmaticblues  for keeping this amazing community going! I have a confession – I was this close to not posting something today. This close! I have two other stories I’d worked on and then discarded in the past month.  *shakes fist at WIPs*  Then some scans of Sarah Michelle Gellar in People Magazine inspired me last night and voila! I hope you enjoy my humble offering (it truly is ever so humble in light of all the grand fic plans I’d had and hope to still write).  This is unbeta’d so all mistakes are mine.

Thousand Kisses Deep 1/6

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Thousand Kisses Deep

Well, today is my day for posting and I have one short story to tell. My thanks to the fabulous and efficient at all times enigmaticblues  for keeping this tradition going. Truly the site is a treasure-house of new fic and visuals about our favorite pair.

I have the first 5 chapters ready to go but there will be a slight delay in posting the final chapter because I didn’t get it to my wonderful Beta until late last night. I expect to post it tonight in my time zone so it will be late in parts of the world but still on my day here. So without further ado:

Title: Thousand Kisses Deep
Author: Pfeifferpack
Medium: Fiction
Rating: R
Summary: Dawn’s wish to Halfrek is quite different from canon and may wind up being the best gift Buffy receives for her birthday, even if it is late in the receiving.

Setting: S6 and begins to go AU at “Older and Far Away” (written by Drew Z. Greenberg). I am using a tiny bit of dialogue from that episode in the beginning of the story before it goes a very different direction. Hints of events in episodes through “Normal Again” and then completely AU. Very tiny bit of dialogue from “Hell’s Bells” by Rebecca Rand Kirshner and “Normal Again” by Diego Gutierrez appear in this story for episode set-up purposes.

The Trouble with Harriet 1/?

This entry is part 1 of 9 in the series The Trouble with Harriet

I’m ashamed to admit I won’t get this story finished by the end of today. This bugs me to the point that I’m having classic anxiety dreams about not finishing homework and term papers and failing classes, but I’ve realized the story had more potential than I originally thought and I don’t want to post when I know I can do better than the crap that comprises the middle section of the fic right now. I’ll have two chapters done by the end of today and will post the rest on my LJ as I finish it.

Title: The Trouble with Harriet
Rating: PG
Warnings: WIP
Disclaimer: All series characters and good stuff belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc. I am responsible for some original characters (although I stole names from Hitchcock) as well as the lame dialogue and most of the plot. The idea, of course, is stolen from the classic movie, The Trouble with Harry.
Summary: Buffy really needs a vacation, so when the chance arrives, she takes it, even though with a wandering corpse on the loose it’s almost, but not quite, a busman’s holiday. This is set in my cheerful, AU version of Season 6 where everyone sort of gets along and Spike and Buffy are a couple.
Thanks: to keswindhover and revdorothyl for beta and to enigmaticblues for maintaining the comm.
