This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

The family has gone off holiday shopping, leaving Buffy and Spike with a chance to snoop around Ashiana, and me with the time to post another chapter. Here it is, with a ref basilio_the_cat  suggested in feedback, and another from one of my favorite authors.

(Edited to fix the chapter number.)

Buffy and Spike: Cubed – 5

This entry is part 5 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

I seem to be posting one chapter for every load of laundry I do. If I could keep up this pace, on both the fic and dirty clothes fronts, not only would I have this story done by midnight, I’d finish half my other WIPs. That’s not going to happen, but Buffy and Spike are about to find some more trouble at Ashiana Industries.  Continue Reading →

Buffy and Spike: Cubed – 1

This entry is part 1 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

I’m starting these posts late because my internet access went down this morning. I should manage to finish posting even if it goes down again by hopping on a dialup connection for short periods.

Thanks to keswindhover  for betaing on short notice, and thanks to the friend who has since disappeared from the fandom but who encouraged this idea in the first place. (If you ever read this, you know who you are, and you are missed by others as well as by me.) Thanks as well to itmustbetuesday  and everyone else here, with a special tip of the hat to liliaeth, with whom I share this day.

Title: Buffy and Spike: Cubed
Author: Miss Murchison
Rating: R, overall
Word Total: about 19,000. Maybe longer, I’m still editing the final chapters (yeah, I know) This will be posted by the end of the day in my time zone.
Confession: A tiny bit of this appeared in a slightly different form in an LJ post some time ago, but most of it is making its public debut for the first time.
Summary: To solve a mysterious string of deaths, Buffy and Spike must go where they have never gone before—undercover at a large company, where they must hunt down a murderer amid the cubicles while coping with PowerPoint Presentations and the Coffee Fund Rules.

A/N: Okay, everyone. Here it is. The last chapter.

I haven’t seen Harry Potter yet. The early show was sold out, and it’ll be past my post-date by the time we get back from the later one. Thanks to everyone who read/reviewed. I hope to reply individually to all the lovely comments between later tonight and tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Again, thanks to megan_peta, dusty273, and therealmccoy1. You ladies are just awesome.  Continue Reading →

FIC: Autumn Sunsets – 1/5 (NC-17 overall)

hollydb
This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Autumn Sunsets

Author’s Note: Okay, so here it is. Part One of my contribution to seasonal_spuffy. There are five parts, which I will post intermediately throughout the day as time allows. The second part should be coming sometime around midmorning, the third around noon, the fourth mid-afternoon, and the fifth in the early evening, all in Central Standard Time, USA. I only have this fic to offer you, as my PS skills leave much wanting, and I was pressed to get this alone written in the time allowed. I sincerely hope everyone can at least get some laughs and enjoyment from my contribution, as it was terribly fun to write.

A few things: I owe everything to megan_peta, dusty273, therealmccoy1, and uisge_beatha for their superb betaing jobs. vampkiss, of course, made the gorgeous banner. therealmccoy1 provided one of my favorite lines of the series, which appears in Part One, and megan_peta talked me through several bumps in the last two parts, and similarly provided a wonderful line. Thank you ladies so much for taking the time to go over this for me. I don’t know what I’d do without you.

Lastly, angst lovers will likely be left wanting. This is undoubtedly the most saccharine story I’ve ever written. It’s a screwball holiday comedy, done in the manner of A Christmas Story with elements of absurdism that would hopefully do Tom Stoppard proud. And yes, as with most of my fics, it does get a little smutty. In fact, as I was writing it, I couldn’t help but think of George Carlin’s line, “You ever notice how you never get laid on Thanksgiving? I think it’s because they put all the coats on the bed.” I gleefully set myself up to prove that wrong.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Enjoy!

Fic: The Letter

I’m fairly certain that this isn’t what  spikes_heart  had in mind when she put this idea in my head way back when I was using her as a sounding board for my seasonal spuffy idea. Still she planted the seed so this one is for her.

Feedback:   Well if you’re offering, sure

April shook her magic wand at this one too. She is the grammer fairy.

Drabble: Bumblebee

Hello, it’s my posting day today and I’ve got a few things, a few less than I’d hoped but that’s deadlines for you.

To kick us off a little drabble because it’s still very early here.

Feedback: Not gonna say no

I am, as always, indebted to the wonderful April for sorting out the grammer and punctuation. Even in 100 words I still needed her guidance

Fic; Ten Reasons to Change or Simply Stay the Same; NC-17 overall

lillianmorgan

It’s my day so here is my offering. I’ve been really enjoying what’s been going on here. And thanks to all those who make this place possible!!

Title: Ten Reasons to Change or Simply Stay the Same
Author: lillianmorgan
Setting: the aftermath of As You Were really, although it’s setting within canon could go right the way up to Normal Again.
Rating: NC-17, but only in bits and pieces
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Disclaimer: Not mine, such is the woe. Or, possibly, woah.
Author’s Notes: Ten one-offs as to why and why not the Spike/Buffy relationship works and has possible potential to work some more. Started off as drabbles, but there was too much to say, and I decided not to be so restrictive on myself. First person POV, shifting between Buffy and Spike.
Thanks so much to yourlibrarian  for all her time and effort on the beta work, really, really appreciated. Plus there was some last minute tinkering – any mistakes are therefore mine.
Written for seasonal_spuffy

Fic: Hiding In (PG)

sharelle

Hello, everyone, and happy Sunday! I’m Rummi, and I’ve got a fluffy little seasonal fic to offer you today.

Though Halloween has officially come and gone, I couldn’t resist writing this one. It’s set in S6, before the sex and the über-angst – when our couple was still having those potentially sweet moments. It was originally inspired by a throwaway line, delivered by Spike near the beginning of “All the Way.”

Hope you enjoy!

Title: Hiding In
Author: Sharelle
Rating: PG
Word Total: 3735
Summary: When work at the Magic Box starts getting the Slayer down, what’s left but to take a certain vampire up on his offer? Shoplifting, snark, holiday television specials, and schmoopy, fluffy Spuffy ensue!
Author’s Notes: A slightly different turn of events during “All the Way.” It takes place after Spike’s and Buffy’s conversation in the Magic Box basement, and before Giles shows up at the crypt, searching for Dawn.
