FIC: Certain Dark Things ~R (1/4)

This entry is part 1 of 4 in the series Certain Dark Things

So, if I had known that I would be posting on Halloween, I probably would have come up with something a little more… Halloween-y. (Long story there.) Anyway, this is a sequel to my fic Unsuffer Me, wherein Spike and Buffy meet up in L.A. the summer between S2 and 3. It’s also a little different than my usual fare, but I hope you like it anyway.

As always, thank you to all the participants, both creators and readers/reviewers. And thanks for the extra patience this round. RL has been kicking my butt.

FIC : Feels Like Heaven (1/1)

Hello all. It’s my day at seasonal_spuffy, and I’m proud to be participating again. Thanks to enigmaticblues for organising this event and for ensuring the Spuffy!love continues. I had hoped to have more for you, but alas, it wasn’t to be – so, a one-shot that I hope you enjoy.

Title: Feels Like Heaven
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: Sadly, the characters nor their motivations belong to me. I bow to Joss and his genius, and thank him for letting us play with his toys.
Summary: Set Season 7; Buffy is well aware of her likely lack of longevity and decides that life is too short to let something good get away. My take on what might have happened during the lead up to the apocalypse and what might have happened between Buffy and Spike that led to them being wrapped in each other’s arms the night before the final battle.
Thanks: to seductivembrace for taking a chunk out of her precious free time to beta on the fly and for understanding my hopeless Spuffy love despite all of her efforts to tempt me into other playgrounds :)

Fic: The Distance Between Us (1/11)

This entry is part 1 of 11 in the series The Distance Between Us

Title: The Distance Between Us

Author: PrettyPoppy

Summary: Nineteen years after leaving Sunnydale, Spike encounters a startlingly familiar young woman fighting vampires in the alleyways of London – a young woman who holds the key to both his past and his future.

Rated: R

Author’s Notes: In this fic, Spike leaves Sunnydale sometime between “As You Were” and “Entropy,” so it doesn’t follow canon after the middle of Season 6. I’m loathe to label this baby fic, but I suppose it technically is, even though the baby in this case is 18-years-old. This is the first chaptered fanfic I’ve written in more than six years. (And I’m still a little bit in shock.) Many thanks to the wonderful enigmaticblues  for all her hard work in putting this round together.

Disclaimer: Nope. I don’t own Spike or Buffy. Everything belongs to Joss, Mutant Enemy, and whoever else has a legal right to it.

Fic: “The Glory and the Dream”

Title: The Glory and the Dream
Author: Maia
Rating: PG
Words: 1224
Disclaimer: I own nothing

Thank you to enigmaticblues for hosting!

Notes: This story takes place in my Gifts-verse, where Spike was resurrected as a human after “Chosen” in 2003 and went back to the name William. In 2008 he and Buffy were reunited, in 2009 they married, in 2011 they had a daughter named Eleanor and in 2015 they had a son named Geoffrey.

The title and several quotes are from William Wordsworth’s Ode Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.

There is also a quote from W.H. Auden’s September 1, 1939.

Warnings: I hesitate to post this story. It is very, very dark. I’m not even sure it’s “canon” for my Gifts-verse.

Summary:
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
