My day! ::pauses for squee::
::Calms down::
There will be fic in a little while – a one-off plus a chapter, possibly two, of the WIP. But first, we has iconses. All snaggable.
Icons!
Heavy In Your Arms – A Spuffy Fanmix
Hey All! So, it’s my posting day and I’ve been really excited for it because I actually worked hard this round on my submissions. Up first is a fanmix – Heavy in Your Arms. It’s a collection of music that I love, mostly mainstream, but always fun and sing along-able. There’s some punk for Spike at the beginning, some pop for Buffy at the end, and lots of alt-rock for me. All the songs remind me of Spuffy in some way, and they all relate to some aspect of their relationship.
Personal Ad Love
Title: Personal Ad Love
Author: maryperk73703
Pairings: Spuffy (of course)
Timeline Notes: Spike still came back to Sunnydale during “Lover’s Walk”, but he didn’t kidnap Xander or Willow. Instead he found Buffy first, and he talked to her. When he found out about Angelus’ (Angel’s) return to this realm he gave her the same speech about blood and friends that he did in the episode.
Summary: Buffy finds love after breaking up with Angel.
Not my best/favorite story, but I hope someone likes it anyway.
Fic: Fire in the Soul (1/?)
My second offering is a WIP, since inspiration struck rather late. More to follow on open posting day, or on my journal.
Title: Fire in the Soul (1/?)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13, this chapter
Word count: 4400
Warnings: A bit Dru-ish
A/N: NOT comics or S8 compliant, but might’ve been inspired by discussion surrounding a panel in one of the recent IDW Spike comics. No comics knowledge required. Beta’d by snickfic, who has seen every word and can be held completely liable for any mistakes. (Kidding! She was awesome, but then I messed around with it some more. Tsk.) Some photos contained herein are copyrighted as noted.
Summary: A few years after Sunnydale’s spectacular demise, Buffy and her crew are getting on with their lives in San Francisco. A not entirely unwelcome blast from her past blows into town, but he’s brought more than the generally allowable amount of baggage with him.
Fic – Calm the Waters (Chapter 2)
Author: Abelina (Abby)
Title: Calm the Waters
Summary: It must be spring, because there’s an apocalypse brewing. Spike and Buffy go on a mission to find the final artifact needed for the ritual to end the world, so they can destroy it before it’s too late, only things go a little bit awry.
Setting: Season Five, sometime after Intervention but before Tough Love, in a bit of an alternate reality.
Rating: Will be NC-17 (eventually).
Notes: This is the second chapter of the fic I started for the last round of Seasonal Spuffy. Chapter One is here, and was posted so long ago it’s probably best to read it again even if you remember seeing it the first time around. I didn’t think I’d even have anything for this round, so I’m pleased to be posting this with about 50 minutes left on my posting day. Unbeta’d, so if you spy an error, please let me know so that I might fix it.
Fic: Boots to the Fire (Escape)
Happy Easter, everybody! I’ve got a couple of things for you today, both set in scenic San Francisco, California. If Joss can do it, why not the rest of us, right? First up, a cheery little one-shot!
Title: Boots to the Fire (Escape)
Author: Rebcake
Rating: PG13
Word count: 2350
A/N: Ostensibly set just after the end of the Season 8 comics, but you need not have read (or liked) them in order to enjoy this bit o’ fluff.
Summary: In the grand old (since January 2011) tradition of Spuffy fic centered around Dawn and Xander’s San Francisco fire escape, I bring you a story that begins with a make-out scene…
Acceptance
Title: Acceptance

Timeline: Ten years past NFA

Genre: Future; flashbacks
Armor Thin
Title: Armor Thin
Author: aerintine
Era: Post-NFA
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Crossover with AtS
Word Count (this part): ~5000
Betas: My heartfelt thanks to these folks. dampersnspoons , whose excellent ideas, enthusiastic support, and patient guidance are the reasons I can do this at all. This story would not exist (or be readable) without her. lostboy_lj , who daily holds up the firmament with his kindness, wit and insight. anythingbutgrey , who graciously lent me her giant brain for this first part to ensure Angel got done right. She gets an extra special thank you, since she agreed to beta despite being as far from a Spuffy as a fan can get. Thank you, Elyssa.
Summary: Some important battles are fought with weapons, and some aren’t. Some we can see and others blind us. Some even involve marbles. All of them lead us away from home and back again, one way or another.

It’s April 20th in my time zone! I hope I am not stepping on anyone’s toes in an earlier time zone by posting at the crack of 12:30 AM. Today I have a 25,000-word fic in five parts. Assuming there’s no Internet failure in my hotel later, I will post everything today. Thank you so much ladyofthelog, snickfic, angearia, and all the taggers for maintaining this wonderful community!

Summary: Anya wants to know why she never sees Spike’s bite marks on Buffy’s neck. Buffy wants to know why Spike never asked her to do anything of the sort.
A/N: This fic is set in my post-NFA verse in early 2006. A complete list of the fics in the verse is here, but it’s not necessary to have read any of them to read this. All you need to know is:
-The PTB rewarded Angel, Spike, and Gunn for destroying LA’s W&H by saving Gunn’s life and resurrecting Cordelia and Anya at the vampires’ requests.
-After spending two years in London the Scooby gang moved to New Sunnydale, which has been rebuilt but is not a hellmouth, in summer 2005 to open a second, U.S. based slayer academy.
The established couples are Buffy/Spike, Anya/Xander, Willow/Oz, Cordelia/Angel, and Dawn/Gunn.
It’s Postin’ Time! Part Deux.
Hi guys! Everybody having a super good seasonal spuffy season? I know I’ve been enjoying everything so far! But alas, today is my day for an offering to the fandom gods and in supplication I’ve created 30, that’s right 30!, brand spanking new spuffy icons. Enjoy, lovelies!
Untitled
Offering Two… part 1 of 5, more of a teaser for four longer parts to come. An AU season 4, styled a la the AUs on the show– canon world, one big difference with for-want-of-a-nail impact. Hopefully will be fun! Expect the rest on free-for-all-day?
Title:
Author/Creator: onlylyin
Era/Season/Setting: AU season 4
Rating: this part all ages, eventually T for Teen
Genre: AU
So, anyone else remember Celia, Buffy’s cousin from Killed by Death? Barely? Well, this would probably be the Celiaverse… created pretty much just for the Spuffy dynamic thereof. But the whole cast should show.
Shadowy Corners
Sorry this is on the line of late ~ I’m on Central US time currently (in New Orleans, which is nice since it’s still snowing at home in Buffalo). Suffice to say, life is big on the crazy and grad school is evil. Also, the Internet and livejournal apparently dislike me… But I’m really excited to be posting ~ first Seasonal Spuffy! but although I’ve been spending every (few and far between) spare minutes writing, I don’t have as much for you as I intended. Hopefully you’ll still enjoy anyway. I have a short one-shot, below, and a teaser scene for a four-part AU season four fic to follow, probably on free-for-all-day. Happy reading and I can’t wait to rededicate my free time to reading what everyone else has been posting!!
Title: Shadowy Corners
Author/Creator: onlylyin (I’m on fanfiction.net as lyin’, you might, or might not, have spied me there!)
Era/Season/Setting: Season 8 Comicsverse, pre the four-months-later scenes in Issue #40. Very little comics knowledge actually needed to follow, except that Buffy’s now working in a coffee shop.
Rating: All Ages
Genre: …er, doughy conversation?
I was going to link a download to “Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop,” which is very on-the-nose and not a song that would automatically make me think Spuffy, except that it did. And I say “I was going to” because trying to link makes my entry post crash and burn. but if anyone wants it, give me a shout. Enjoy!
Icons
Hideeho, it’s me again. This is my last post for the day. A few icons inspired by “Gone” and “Something Blue.”
Teaser: 
FIC: Amor Fati
Sorry, I’m a bit late with my offering (as usual), but anyone who’s seen the news about the Finnish election results should understand why I turned off my computer and went to bed early last night :)
I was also hoping to write something a bit more cheery for my day, but unfortunately I didn’t have the time.
Title: Amor Fati
Word count: 2200
Rating: Mature/R
Warning: While there shouldn’t be anything actually triggery here, the fic is still pretty dark (think of “Dead Things” dark, “Seeing Red” dark).
Summary: “This is your life, William Pratt, and it’s ending one minute at a time.”
More Graphics
Okay, it’s later. :-P More sidebar gifs
