Teamwork is Magic Pt 2

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series Teamwork is Magic

Title: Teamwork is Magic pt. 2
Author: Torrilin
Pairings: Buffy/Riley (Willow/Tara, Xander/Anya)
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~1300 words
Timeline: S4, Where The Wild Things Are, with a twist AU during the episode
Warnings: Canon typical violence and gore, Buffy and Riley romance, script format
Notes: This was supposed to be a comic, and I have chunks of the art done, so it may yet become a comic. The script grew, so we may yet get somewhere. The Spike/Buffy is mostly friendship not romance-y, given where I’m going off canon. And this is unbetad. Please tell me if you catch errors or are confused.

Banner Manip

And now we have this New Era Spuffy relationship – Buffy and Spike have indeed taken a new path – now we have to see where Joss Whedon, Christos Gage and Dark Horse is taking them.  One thing for sure – the Spuffy relationship will always be explored with depth, respect, love and by the outstanding fanfiction writers by each writer’s quest to seek their truths about the Spuffy relationship.

Bit on the Fluffy Side – but I’m  not always about the darkness and despair.   Original art by Rebekah Isaacs for Dark Horse Comics

Banner – You Were There

It’s my posting day – had a great time working on new images – the theme was especially appealing to me because the Most Important elements of all the Buffy and Spike journey is the transformations their experiences created for them.  It’s my GRAND METAPHOR for our own lives and humanity – that we can all change and make the choice to not let the darkness within us control our lives.

Hope you like them – got bit carried away – but what the heck – It’s Season Spuffy Time.   These are available if anyone is interested in using them as banners for a story

The People In Question

I am all about writing at the last minute. I’d hoped to finish (start?) this last night so I could post first thing, but mid-afternoon (EDT) seems to be the best I can manage. Hopefully everyone is still madly refreshing LJ to get a new seasonal_spuffy entry, because you are in luck. This is set mid The Girl In Question. And I hope the typography is properly tagged, otherwise it’s going to be a real pain in the ass to figure out. :D

Fic: Butterflies (Drabble)

Round 20 started, the page is still empty, and here in Germany May Day is nearly over. So I decided to get things started with a quick drabble. It’s also my very first entry at Seasonal Spuffy, and I’m pretty nervous…
It’s not fitting the round’s theme, though, but I wrote for the kick-off GIF, that’s something, right?

Thanks to the wonderful mods who keep Seasonal Spuffy alive! I’m proud to participate this year!

English isn’t my first language, and I couldn’t find a beta on such a short notice (this wasn’t planned at all), but since I have to post until midnight in my time zone, I’ll just hope there aren’t any weirdnesses. (Don’t hesitate to tell me if there are mistakes, though. Please.)

So, here goes…

Soulful

This entry is part 4 of 4 in the series To Apprehend Air

This being my first ever post on this community : thank you guys for keeping our love for this universe alive, stirring its embers to life from time to time. It is greatly appreciated.

Now I have completely missed my assigned day and all other possible posting opportunities because life slapped me around a bit this month. But I have a little something to show at the last possible moment :

Because… Wasn’t this moment supposed to be beautiful?

Weren’t souls supposed to be?

One Last Fiction Banner: for Closure is a Silly Word by Herself_NYC

A personal challenge – can I whip out a fiction poster in a couple of hours?  If I start with a rough draft from the Casablanca project I can.  I was certain that I had nothing left to give for this round but I was so inspired by herself_nyc‘s “Closure is a Silly Word” tonight that I had to respond. So few Spuffy stories (or really fandom stories in general) take Dawn’s trauma, or the relationship between the two Summers sisters, seriously. I adore the angst, the heartbreak, the love and the stubborn hopefulness. Plus, New York City and especially the Chelsea Hotel is nearly a character in it’s own right.

(And how could I not love a fic that mentions the Dojo, one of my favorite places to eat when I’ve visited the city? Dark, damp, overcrowded, noisy, dirty, cheerful, oddly comforting, long wooden tables shared with strangers, my boots soaking wet from the rain, and bowls of hot, damnably tasty noodles is what I think of when I think of the Dojo.)

First, though, read the fic:

After the Deluge – 27

This entry is part 8 of 11 in the series After the Deluge

It’s still the 1st where you are, right?

I’ve been bogged down in essay-writing and other academic stuff, but I couldn’t let this anniversary pass without something. I started my WIP, After the Deluge on this comm, more years ago than I care to admit, and here is another chapter. Two, possibly three to follow. The first 26 chapters can be found here.

Rated PG13 for mild violence in this chapter, rather stronger overall.
