A Friend in Need – Chapters Six and Seven
These may be the last chapters I put up here. Chapter Eight is completed and Ch. Nine as been started, but that’s about it, so not ready to put up. I’ll come back and provide links to the other chapters as I get them posted either here or on my own journals.
So, under the cut, Chapters Six and Seven in which things come out and Glory gets closer.
A Friend in Need – Chapters Four and Five
A Friend in Need – 1
Title: A Friend in Need
author: Slaymesoftly
Summary: A sequel to a short (6200+) off-canon Season Four fic – Even Demons Need Friends, but I don’t think you need to have read that STORY (although it’s kinda fun…). All you need to know is that this is a non-canon Season 5 in which Glory is there searching for her Key, Joyce is sick, Spike is unchipped and living in another city. At the end of the previous story, he’d asked Buffy to call him if she needed help.
They don’t have a relationship yet; they weren’t even much more than canon Season Four semi-enemies, with an unrecognized and unacknowledged sexual attraction, when Ethan’s spell to turn Giles into a Fyral demon wrought some important changes in a very short period of time. But not changes sufficient to make it likely that a slayer, with a human boyfriend and a firm belief in what’s right and acceptable, and an old vampire, who has just regained his ability to hunt and feed, are likely to see any kind of a future for them. In spite of some surprising revelations about how they may feel about each other.
You can assume that the rest of Season Four and some of Season Five have proceeded pretty much as in canon, but without Spike’s presence. That absence, and the reason for it, has changed things enough that I think it’s fair to call this an AU Season Five. Some things will be familiar, some things obviously will not, so don’t go looking for an identical timeline or identical events.

Always Knew I’d Go Down Fightin
So, my day! I’ve got two things: The first (below) is set in the verse I (unintentionally) started with Things That Go Bump in the Night. By now, in addition to that original long fic, there are lots of ficlets documenting Spike and Buffy’s early years together (thanks to Schmoop Bingo). All you really need to know about that verse, is that quite a few years after Chosen and NFA, Buffy found Spike again, and after the aforementioned long fic, Spike is now fully human but has the same slayer powers as Buffy. This ficlet is set many years in the future, when their family has grown and now includes grandchildren. The title is one of Spike’s lines from the show – he just had no idea how long it would be until it actually happened…
Title: “Always Knew I’d Go Down Fightin’”
Author: Slaymesoftly
Words: 2800+
Rating: PG13
Summary: Spike and Buffy wonder if they’ve become too old to be effective slayers. Turns out they get a chance to find out… (see above for backstory)
Disclaimer: Not my characters and no money is being made off them.
Thanks: to gillo who offered to look this over for me before it went up, and as always, improved it greatly. Any mistakes left are due to my tinkering and/or ignoring her good advice. ☺
Ficlet: The Promise (1/1)
Life has been hectic and I almost forgot my posting day. Here’s short ficlet before I toddle off to bed. I’ll (hopefully) post a slightly longer fic later this evening after I get home from work. Still need to finish up the last little bit.
Vacation is coming up, and I’m looking forward to enjoying seasonal_spuffy. In the meantime, many thanks to the excellent gillo , lutamira and fenchurche for making that possible.

Thanks to kudagirl for being first to request!
“Would you be able to do one from the scene in Flooded where Buffy is on the back porch and Spike arrives to talk to her. I just love how she smiles at him when he jokes with her. “

Fic: Time Can Fly But Also Slow by Laure Alexander
I never post to comms over here, wondered why I didn’t have posting access on the LJ comm; luckily I figured it out pretty quickly. *sigh*
Title: Time Can Fly But Also Slow
Author: Laure Alexander
Rating: PG14
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Warnings: Suggested sex, aging
Disclaimer: Nothing about BtVS belongs to me; it’s all Joss; I’m just playing with his characters and making them do naughty things.
Distribution: Please ask first. Will be at my site Meandering Muse
Word Count: 2102
Summary: Written for seasonal_spuffy. I liked the “time” bit about the “time after time” prompt so I went with something set many, many years in the future as an elderly Buffy and her never aging vampire spend the twilight of her life in peace and happiness.
Author’s Note: Okay, I’m twenty minutes late, but I wrote 15000 words of a big bang over the last two days! And yet I can still write Buffy/Spike at the drop of a hat. Helps I’ve been doing it for nearly fifteen years. *g*

The Reunion [Fanmix + Art]
Title: The Reunion
Creator: nvrbnkisst / nvrbnkisst
Form: Fanmix inluding 1 wallpaper, 4 gifs, and thoughts.
The theme ‘Time After Time’ got me thinking this round, and I knew I wanted to do something kind of AU.
So this is a fanmix + art stuff that is basically a soundtrack to some of my crazy post-chosen-head-canon/thoughts for these two crazy kids.
The Wait [Fanvideo]
Title: The Wait
Creator: nvrbnkisst
Song & Artist: Fire Escape by Matthew Mayfield
Description: Buffy & Spike and the rivers of hope & denial they swim in. They are each others homes, they just don’t know to grasp that. “You know what I am, and you come to me all the same”
So, I really don’t like this video. I’ve reworked a bunch of stuff. Over and Over. and I know I say this every time, but I’m really not ok with this. In fact, the only reason I’m posting it is because I didn’t have any other videos finished to post for my day. So I’m really sorry this is not my best work.
I have a couple other artsy things to post so I hope those will make up for this.

Fic: Cruellest Month
OK, a little late, but it’s still Friday in plenty of places! It’s so cool to see so many contributions piling up in this round. Here’s my little offering – vaguely post-NFA, not particularly comics-compliant. It’s that time of year again, when things build to a head and apocalypses have to be faced one more time.

Setting Post-series: quite soon after Not Fade Away, Buffy has a visitor

A/N Inspired by, among other things, three photos from the writerconuk photostream (two of them are mine, but the third is courtesy of curiouswombat), and my recentish trip to Vienna, where the Secession artists took Ver Sacrum as their motto.
The original photos are The Dark Tree, The Steps to the Sea, and the Ballroom of Ghosts. The very minor art is my own.

Spuffy Fanart/Wallpapers
You didn’t think I’d forgotten to post, did you? I apologize for being late in posting, this time of year is so unpredictably hectic for mothers, I’m sure you all agree! ;)
So! Firstly, thank you to all of you guys, the wonderful mods and other fellow Spuffies out there for keeping this fun community running for so long! You all are the reason I’m still in love with the fandom, to be honest! Such great folks around here, I’m always so happy to be around you guys!
I have 3 wallpapers or fanart to share. I wanted to do something really epic, but as always, I ran out of time due to lack of practice in this category. I’m not good at working with screen captures, it’s been kicking me in the butt! But I hope they look decent enough for you to look at.

Fic: The Silence in Between
Author: smells_corrupt
Title: The Silence in Between
Rating: Hard R. About one-third of this is sex.
Length: ~3400 words
Setting: About a year after NFA
Summary: They are cursed. Doomed to repeat the same patterns, over and over and over again.
Notes: The premise of this story is idea that a reunited Buffy and Spike end up falling into a relationship that’s remarkably similar to their S6 relationship, but not quite as unhealthy. The story takes place on two separate days, six months apart, but the events are cut together into one narrative. It’s pretty clear when the switches happen. Italics are used.

author: verity
title: with my face to the sun
rating: NC-17
setting: post-series
words: 4200
contains: parties, pancakes, resurrection, explicit sex, redemption, and friendship.
summary: After mysteriously surviving the battle in LA, Faith joins Buffy and Spike in Cleveland. It’s complicated. (Spuffy romance, Buffy & Faith and Spike & Faith friendship.)
