Brutti’s pick your own adventure day (1/7: The One With The Dragon)

brutti_ma_buoni
This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series Brutti's pick your own adventure day

I asked my flist what they wanted to read (pretty much as I did for last Seasonal Spuffy), but between us we didn’t come up with one thing I wanted to write. So I didn’t. I wrote seven. They span from season 5 time travel to simple pr0n, Pylea wing-fic to post-Apocalyptic schmoop. One of them not your thing? There’ll be another one along soon. And they’re short.

These are fragments of stories. They could grow, if you’d like to write more with this as a starting point (I’m thinking something like sb_fag_ends‘ Prompt Tag. Totally happy for anyone to take up the challenge, so long as you link back to here and let me know what you’ve written!). Or you can feed me comments or ideas, and we’ll see if some more of one of these gets written by me in time for Free For All. It’s an adventure!

If you’d prefer to read them all and treat them as a whole, they could all be vignettes from the life of Rulesverse Spuffy (since the Pylea fic is definitely Rulesverse, and the PWP probably is too), but I didn’t write them as such. It’s more like a pot pourri of Spuffy possibilities. Pick and mix at will, and enjoy!

Fic: Once A Prince (1/1)

readerjane

Good morning! I’m offering two stories for this round. Both of them are part of the same ‘verse as Integrity and Wendy’s Man. That ‘verse has a name now: Truceverse, because it diverges from canon at the first Spike & Buffy truce in Becoming Part 2. The timeline for the Truceverse is here. Most of the stories in it have been posted before in open_on_sunday or sb_fag_ends. My second story, a ficlet, will be posted later today.

Title: Once A Prince
Wordcount: 1,440
Rated: PG-13 for canon-appropriate creepiness. No AO3 warnings.
Timeline: after Doublemeat Palace
Pairing: Spuffy, with mentions of Spike/Dru, Buffy/Riley and Buffy/Minor Character

Fic: Exit Wounds (3/8)

sidhlairiel

Title: Exit Wounds (3/8)
Author: sidhlairiel
Season: AtS s5 (AU)
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Buffy/Spike, Fred/Wesley, mentions of Cordelia/Angel and Buffy/Angel.
Summary: Two weeks after Cordelia’s death Buffy arrives at Wolfram and Hart looking for answers about the disturbing dreams she has been having since the Hellmouth was closed. There she finds a grieving Angel and a newly undead Spike, as well as the horrifying threat which fate has brought her back to L.A. in order to vanquish. But is Buffy ready to face her inner demons and finally escape the clutches of the past? Ensemble cast.

Author’s Note: Hey guys! This is my contribution to this latest round of seasonal_spuffy. You might notice that this is actually chapter three of eight – that is because I submitted the first two chapters of this fic back in October for the Fall Round. Due to much RL busy-ness I have only just found the time to get the next update finished, and I’m hoping to post another chapter on free-for-all day. If you’d like to catch up with the story so far the first two chapters can be found here. This is my first Buffyverse fic so feedback is very much appreciated! Thank you to joans_journal for her betaing help and the mods as always for keeping this community going ♥

Graphic Novel: Black Widow Part I

bogwitch
This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Graphic Novel: Black Widow

Hi. It is my pleasure this time to kick off the Spring 2012 round of Seasonal Spuffy!

I have something a little different to offer today.

Six(!) years ago I wrote the story Black Widow for this community and it proved to be my most popular story by far (largely due to all the sex I expect). It was also an ideal candidate for this venture, a full blown photo-comic with Barbies!

I give you then, Part I of the Black Widow Graphic Novel:

Warnings: Dark futurefic. Graphic sex. Strong language, including the ‘c’ word. Violence.

No characters were harmed in the making of this fic (okay, maybe a little). They do not belong to me, but are the property of Fox Entertainment and Mutant Enemy.

Summary: Buffy has been missing for several years. When Spike goes to find her, he’s in for a very deep shock.

Timeline: Post-Chosen, Post Not Fade Away.

I will be back in a little bit with more.

At the End of the Day

gillo

So, I failed utterly to meet my proper posting day, as I was in the throes of leaving my job and incapable of paying attention. At least it means I have something to post today – two somethings, in fact. One is just another chapter of my interminable WIP, <i>After the Deluge</i>. The other is this little piece of very nearly entirely PWP. Certainly more pr0n than plot.

Title: At the End of the Day
Author: gillo
Era: S6
Genre: Just sex, really.
Warning for explicit sex. (R? NC-17? I don’t really understand the subtle gradations.) No violence beyond a normal Slayer’s life.
Mid S6. Buffy’s tired, dispirited and, as always, in denial.

annapurna_2

I didn’t get any of my remaining three unfinished ficlets done for today, but I’m sneaking in just under the wire to get this first part posted. I’ll post the second and final part on my LJ in the next few days. Hope you enjoy!

Medium: Fic
Title: I Never (1/2)
Author: annapurna_2
Setting: Season 9 comics (AU post-Issue #1)
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Slight mention of Spike/Other
Summary: Did they or didn’t they? Plus Buffy has a little competition for Spike’s attention and she’s not sure how to handle it.

Fanmix: No One’s Ever Gonna Love You

bayloriffic

Originally, I wanted to write one more fic for before this round ended, but RL has not been conducive to anything that requires long bursts of focus or creativity, so. Instead, I decided to finish up this Spike/Buffy mix that I’ve had sitting about half-done in my iTunes since forever.

It’s basically my soundtrack to Buffy and Spike’s relationship (from Spike’s POV) starting in season five once Spike decides he’s in love with Buffy and then going on through the rest of their on-show relationship (with a heavy emphasis on s6-esque songs because that’s currently my favorite season due to all of the angst and makeouts).

Originally Normal 3/11

Title: Originally Normal
Creator: Tennyo_elf
Beta: Science and TJBW (lots of credit goes to these two, they did a wonderful job editing this story)
Rating: FRT (This chapter mentions the AR!!)
Genre: Season 7 AU
Summary: It’s been a year since season 6 and things are going OK for Buffy. That is until things start going wrong and someone finally comes back into her life.

Author’s Note: I mentioned before that I would post the rest of the chapters today but unfortunately I wasn’t able to get all of them done in time. I can only post the next two chapters. However I’ll post the rest on my LJ, hopefully weekly or semi weekly. I have written up to chapter 8, the rest will be done very soon. Of course they need to be beta’d because without it they’d suck! Thank you all for reading!

INK

slaymesoftly

Okay, according to the calendar, this is Open Posting day at the comm. I hope that’s right. Behind the cut is a little thing I wrote on a bunny from Taming_the_Muse. Missed getting it done in time for that week at Taming, and missed finishing it in time to post on my posting date here by a day. So here it is. Set in Season Nine comics, but I don’t think you need to be overly familiar with them to enjoy it. For lack of imagination and thought, it is entitled “INK”.

Title: INK
Author: Slaymesoftly
Rating: PG13
Summary and AN: The Taming the Muse prompt last week was “Ink” and it immediately gave me a bunny. Didn’t get the bunny finished in time to use it for a Taming entry, nor in time to add to my Seasonal Spuffy day entry, but here it is now. Set in the comics Season Nine, just after the end of issue #1 and the beginning of issue #2 – it’s AU for what’s happening so far, of course. But not out of the realm of possibility…

Fic: To Lie Down With Wolves, 1/?

rahirah

To Lie Down With Wolves
By Barb C.

Disclaimers: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.
Rating: R-ish for violence
Pairing: B/S
Synopsis: Spike’s volunteered for an undercover mission at Wolfram & Hart, much to Buffy’s dismay, but he’s beginning to think he’s bitten off more than he can chew…
Author’s notes: Um, yeah, so I wanted to write a happy fluffy story this time, but that didn’t happen. *cringe* This story takes place in the same universe as “Raising In the Sun,” “Necessary Evils,” and “A Parliament of Monsters.” It’s a direct prequel to “Every Silver Lining Has A Touch of Gray.” I totally screwed up and had the idea that my posting date wasn’t until November 6th, so I haven’t come anywhere near finishing this. My apologies; I’ll be posting the rest here and at my journal as soon as it’s done. I’ve got the rest plotted out and it’s only 1/? because I’m not sure if I’ll need to break it into one or two parts. Don’t be surprised if this post is replaced by a revised version in a week or two!

My eternal gratitude to verity, slaymesoftly, typographer, readerjane, soundingsea, rebcake, downunderdeb, kehf, bruttimabuoni, and fenchurche, for beta duty above and beyond the call of duty on extremely short notice. I love you guys!

Fic: Dear Randy (1/1) by annapurna_2 (PG-13)

annapurna_2

Many thanks to snickfic  and verity  for bringing us this latest round of much spuffy goodness.

Here’s a little bit of fluff to start off my posting day. I’ve got three other fics thiiiiis close to being finished. Hope to get at least one or two done in time to post tonight. If not, I’ll aim for the free-for-all day.

In the meantime, hope you enjoy!

Medium: Fic
Title: Dear Randy (1/1)
Author: annapurna_2
Setting: Season 6 (AU post-Tabula Rasa)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The continuing adventures of Randy and Joan! A silly little ficlet written as a sequel to the equally silly ficlet Mortgage Crisis. No need to read that one first (though you’re more than welcome to do so, and Joan, Randy and I would be thrilled if you did).

Fic: ‘As Good as a Rest’ (3/3) by Quinara [R/NC-17]

quinara

And this is all of it! The last chapter’s a bit of a monster…

As Good as a Rest.
[Sequel to The More Things Stay the Same.]
So, Buffy’s alive. Ish. Spike’s dead, but she’s hoping for the ish. Katrina’s definitely dead. At least the cops are investigating that one?

Author: Quinara
Rating: R/NC-17 for explicit sex (some of it somewhat dark? Or something?)
Length: ~31,000 words (in three chapters of approx. 10,000/9,000/12,000)
Setting: Late S6, AU OAFA.
Notes: Many thanks to evilawyer for her help on US-California finance thingemies, lettered for reminding me how many words could be conceived in a short time period, plus extra massive thanks to dear bogwitch, who was a brilliant and fantabulous beta, sounding board and whinging post, comboed all in one and without whom this fic would probably have been ditched halfway through. Or just suck. [ETA: Plus, she made me a lovely, lovely banner, which you can see under the cut!]
As mentioned above, this fic is a sequel to my seasonal_spuffy fic from the last round, The More Things Stay the Same; I think it functions fairly well on its own as a post AU Dead Things AU fic assuming that Buffy and Spike are getting along better – but why would you read this on its own when you could read a 55,000 word diptych? :P The chapter titles are indeed from Dead Things, BTW.
Warnings: Graphic violence? Otherwise nothing the AO3 would make you warn for, but violence and sex blur a bit at certain points. There’s also angst that maybe isn’t angst and fluff that maybe isn’t fluff? I’m bad with judging tone.

[Chapter One: Don’t Close Your Eyes.]
[Chapter Two: Look at Them.]

quinara

Helloo!! I’m sorry for being a bit quick off the mark with my day, since it’s only just gone midnight here, but I wanted to make sure I got some work done tomorrow, hence posting it tonight rather than compulsively faffing and not working in the morning!

What I have is a long fic in three parts:
