To all our USA friends – wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and for all our non USA Spuffy friends – hope you have a lovely day. It’s not a Spuffy Thanksgiving without a tribute to PANGS. I’ll watch Pangs today while I work on my current painting – perfect way to spend some of my Thanksgiving Day. Link for a current looking back review of Pangs https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3593830/revisiting-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-thanksgiving-episode-pangs/
Pangs comes in #18 this year in the WIRED Best Ever Thanksgiving Day episodes – https://www.wired.com/story/best-thanksgiving-tv-episodes/
Manip – Thanksgiving Day
Can’t go by without posting something for Thanksgiving Day – I have so many things to be thankful for this year but especially my good health and recovery. Some of my best Spuffy friends know I had breast cancer surgery few months ago and I’ve had awesome great results – So this is a very special celebration this year. To all my Spuffy friends and all those who participate in Seasonal Spuffy – thank you for all the wonderful years of stories, artwork and vids and Spuffy Fan Love. Plus, another super nice Thanks is for our lovely Thanksgiving Day snow – I love when we get snow as it does not happen often here in Abq.
Fan Love indeed – got these great stamps when I sent for some Buffy Stamps – wanted to share them so I kept this simple.

Chapter Title: Hate You, Too
Note: You might miss a couple of ‘inside jokes’, but do not have to have read prevoius stories to follow this (at least that is my goal! If you find it too confusing, I would love to know. I tried to, through the chapter, explain in broad strokes what’s happened thus far). But if you are intrested in the previous episodes, you can find them here.

Season/Setting: Season 3 after Band Candy but before Faith’s new ‘watcher’, Mrs. Post, shows up.
Summary: Yeah, Spike, the master vampire, had joked that he’d send her postcards, and he had left that one on her door before he screeched out of town, again, with Dru, again. But would the Slayer of Slayers really send the Slayer of Vampires postcards? And would she even read them, if he did? Teetering on the razor’s edge between friends and enemies, which way will they fall?
Banner & writing prompt!
Hello, all! This is my first time participating in Seasonal Spuffy! And I am LATE. Wooo. My internet service isn’t working right now, so I’m throwing this post up here via mobile several minutes after my posting day. I hope that’s…kind of fine. I did try swearing at my laptop, but it didn’t help. I’ll try fixing tags etc. once I can log in on my laptop. Mobile keeps trying to eat this post!
My meager offering for you: a banner, a title, and a writing challenge prompt thingy. Totally up for grabs. Let me know if you’d like the banner personalized!
Video/artwork: Biffy and Spikey
Welcome to the Biffyverse! Those of you who tuned in for this year’s summer_of_giles already had a little preview.This video was inspired by Tribel from BuffyForums, who wanted a Miffy style fanvid. I had no time to make a fully animated video, so instead I tried to recreate the children’s picture book experience. The other inspiration was the “flavour” prompt on my card.
I hope you enjoy my little “Spiffy” picture story.
The Moon Calls My Name (2/2)
And here is part two…it’s all one story, but I wasn’t sure it would fit in one entry.

The Moon Calls My Name (1/2)
Title: The Moon Calls My Name
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Desperate to find out if Fred is still out there in the universe, Spike makes an impulsive decision to send a mystical message in a bottle. Someone else gets his message. (Set in Angel the Series, Season Five in a semi-AU universe after Illyria took over Fred’s body.)
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Joss owns all.
Author’s notes: I did weird stuff with fonts on purpose as an experiment. Apologies if it’s overly cheesy and too on the nose. It’s fanfiction, and I hope you don’t mind me indulging in a bit of playing. This is unbetaed, so any errors are my own.
Also, I wrote the first two short parts and shared them with badwolfjedi a long while ago but stopped writing it. Then, the theme of Seasonal Spuffy came up and I knew I had to finish it. Thank you to the mods for hosting another round! Your efforts are so appreciated. *hugs*
Written with lots of support from sintonia! Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comments while I was plugging along on this little fic and annoying you with little tidbits and drafts.
This is dedicated to wonderful OffYourBird for her birthday. I promised her a birthday fic and then totally fell off from doing it. Happy super-duper belated birthday!

Hi everybody! I’m going to hurry because I’m here from my phone, yeah, my Internet is falling since Thursday night. Sorry about that, really, I want to tell you so much! <3 And the worst part is that I’m totally tuned, I want to come back!
Oh! I dedicate this entry to Sandy, she has been my source of inspiration since October but honestly, she always has been (I owe you a banner and a comment because this is the story of my life with you but don’t worry, I’m on it!) And because I love you people too much, don’t miss her fic tomorrow! I could give you spoilers but I’m just going to say if you lose this you will regret it, stay tuned!
Fic: And Fear Finds Nothing Left to Mend, Part III (Conclusion)
And Fear Finds Nothing Left to Mend
By Barb C.
Rating: T
Setting: Post-Gift AU (Barbverse)
Pairing: Buffy/Spike
Synopsis: Knowing that the Slayer has hard decisions to make is one thing. Being the subject of one is quite another.
Author’s notes: This story takes place in the same universe as “Raising In the Sun,” “Necessary Evils,” and “A Parliament of Monsters.” It is the first story in the arc which continues in “To Lie Down With Wolves,” “Every Silver Lining Has A Touch of Gray,”, “Let Your Hearts Be Light,”, “Mea Culpa,” and “A Professional Consultation,” and concludes in “The Indefinite Article.” It’s pretty damn angsty, folks. The story includes some elements of Dark Horse comics canon, but I do very different things with them. Thanks to my incredible betas, Bewildered, slaymesoftly, trepkos, typographer, cornerofmadness, SzmattyCat, and Maevepagan. Any remaining errors are entirely my own.
147 Reasons (Fic)
Title: 147 Reasons
Word Count: 2347
Setting: Season 6
Rating: PG-13
No Warnings other than bad language by Spike.
Summary: Buffy is trying to cope following her return from heaven, Spike’s pissed off and Dawn is trying to encourage Buffy to give Spike a chance
Note:
This is past midnight where I live but it’s still Thursday somewhere right? I hope this is ok.
Also, I haven’t written Buffy characters lately, so I’m not entirely happy with their voices.
This was rushed, so pardon any typos.
Fic: Dear Friend (1/?)
Title: Dear Friend (1/?)
Author: JustWriter2
Summary/Teaser: In a tale as old as inked parcels, Buffy writes to a normal penpal she falls for. Except, he’s not normal and she hates him; right?
Era/Season/Setting: late 1990s, early 2000s / ~ Seasons 2 -> 5 / Sunnydale, California
Warnings: referenced Spike/other and Buffy/other to begin with (tamer than the show)
AN: Today is my birthday. I welcome constructive criticism from all of you. This banner was made by the wonderful teragramm.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not have, nor have I ever been in, contact with any of the creators or producers of the television show Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, nor the films, plays, and radio broadcasts which this work is based upon: Parfumerie, The Shop Around the Corner, In the Good Old Summertime, and You’ve Got Mail. Some of the lines from these and recognizable scenes and bits of shared dialogue will be played out and paraphrased, but only in tribute and not for anyone’s profit.
Fic: All in the Family (1 of ?)
Title: All in the Family
Author: spikes_heart
Era/season/setting: Buffy Season 4, Angel Season 1
Banner Credit: Twinkles
Notes: Borrowed the opening scene entirely from the end of Angel’s first season episode I Will Remember You, written by David Greenwalt and Jeannine Renshaw. A huge part of the first three chapters is borrowed from Buffy’s 4th season – Something Blue, written by Tracey Forbes. Everything you recognize is their respective writers’ property, and not mine. Interspersed, you will find my small changes, until canon is left behind (mostly).
Warning: There is the slightest bit of canon Bangel. Nothing explicit.
Rating: PG for now
Summary: What if Buffy brought back a little surprise after her encounter with Angel in I Will Remember You?
Fic: PenPals (1/1)
Title: PenPals
Author: Holly (HollyDB)
Era/season/setting: BtVS season 4
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A few months after the Will Be Done spell, Buffy returns Spike’s ring.
Disclaimer: They’re not mine. Which is a shame, because I am so much nicer than Joss.
Artwork: Made by the eternally awesome teragramm
Author’s Note: This is pure, unapologetic fluff. And being that I finished it at the eleventh hour, it’s only been betaed by therealmccoy1.
Letters from Buffy are in italics; letters from Spike are in plain text.

I want to thank Stoney, GoSpuffy, debbicles and Priceless for the inspiration and support.Y’all are amazing!

Manips – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
My last submission. A Great Man of Letters idea – William and Spike would have had the highest regard and love for Shakespheare. I can imagine Spike reading the poetry and plays to Buffy. I have featured the Max Reinhardt 1927 film production. You can listen to the play at the great Folger Shakespheare Library https://www.folger.edu/midsummer-nights-dream-audio-edition
Manips – Adventures of Spike and Buffy
Been working with one of my favorite manip formats – Faux Covers. This one features Buffy & Spike as a Spuffy version of Nick and Nora Charles by Samuel Dashiell Hammett. Still wishing someone would take up a project of creating Spuffy Nick & Nora story.
Manips – Love Letters
Sorry I’m so late with post – had to be gone most of the day. Working with the theme of Love Letters thought I would use the awesome Royal Mail 400 Anniversary Shakespeare Stamps – Hope you like and as always – my great big Thank You to all the mods and participants who keep Spuffy and Seasonal Spuffy a strong and wonderful fan community for all the fans to enjoy.
