Seasonal Spuffy – Fall

First – send my congratulations and thanks to the new organizers for this wonderful Spuffy Community – and also say thank you to enigmaticblues for keeping Seasonal Spuffy open for the previous years –

I apologize for having to post so late – there was a show that I had to do today – Hope you enjoy my submissions for this round.  Buffy Season 8 makes this year even more special for me as a way to express my admiration and love for this great relationship that is Spuffy.

Fic: Like Moths to a Flame (Spuffy, R) – 1/1

Title: Like Moths to a Flame
Author: okdeanna
Rating: R, for language and sexual content
Word Count: 4,174
Beta: dusty273
For: seasonal_spuffy Round 11
Timeline: “Fool for Love,” Btvs S5, but it doesn’t conform to the actual episode as I’ve chosen to rewrite it and explore what might have been.
Warnings: does include a small scene with Buffy/Riley, though it isn’t at all about them or their relationship with each other during this time on the show.

Summary: Buffy realizes there is more to Spike than what the Council wants her to believe, but she knows she can’t focus on that fact without also focusing on her growing attraction to him, a concept she’d rather die than admit aloud to him…

Disclaimer: I do not own the Buffyverse. That gem belongs to Joss Whedon, Fox and others associated with the TV shows, comics and merchandising. I’m just a writer who loves the show and likes to write about its characters.

Fic: To Bring Her Back – 1/1 (R, for violence)

Back with my second offering of the day–there will be five in total, four of them fics. This is a bit of a darker tale, though I’d like to think it ends on a bright note.

Title: To Bring Her Back
Author: okdeanna
Rating: R, for violence
Word Count: 0840
Beta: dusty273
Written For: seasonal_spuffy Round 11
Theme: Love is a temporary madness
Warnings: violence, torture, dark angst, implied future romance, also there is an appearance of Angel in this fic.
Timeline: Post Chosen, Buffy S7; Post Not Fade Away, Angel S5; Btvs S8 comics (sort of)
Spoilers: Btvs S8 comics, though only in the top surface since as I’ve not actually read them, just heard things here and there. I’ll put my own twist on everything that happens, as I have no actual idea of what is really going on in the comics. I’m just using something I read as a basis for a new Spuffy story. ;-)

Summary: Spike cannot accept the person Buffy has become, but to find the strong woman he knew before, he must dig deep within himself and turn his back on the man, the Sire, who fought beside him these last few months. He will not give up on Buffy without a fight, or the relationship they might find once the spell-enhanced fog clears from her head. Buffy belongs with him; she just doesn’t know it yet.

Love is a Truth Come Home Again

Today is my posting today! I’ll have several things to post throughout the afternoon and evening, starting with this small first person POV drabble.

Rating: pg
Word Count: 380
Beta: dusty273
Written For: seasonal_spuffy Round 11
Theme: Love is a temporary madness

Warnings: none
Disclaimer: I do not own the Buffyverse. That gem belongs to Joss Whedon, Fox and others associated with the TV shows, comics and merchandising. I’m just a writer who loves the show and likes to write about its characters. :)
Summary: Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. What is left, after the earth stops shaking, is the truth a heart can no longer hide. This is what Buffy learns in one brief, solitary glance into the eyes of a man, a vampire, from her past. Continue Reading

Fic: Remembrance Day

My posting day was Remembrance Day, and I made it with 15 minutes to spare (in my timezone!)

Remembrance Day

By  spicklething

Setting: Future Fic set in 2013

Notes: I neither follow nor give a toss about the comics, so they didn’t happen. And Spike was never a Pratt. He has a different surname in my ‘verse. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Summary: O valiant hearts who to your glory came
Through dust of conflict and through battle flame.

Seven Stages to Clarity Chapter 6

This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Seven Stages to Clarity

Title: Seven Stages to Clarity

Author: Pfeifferpack

Medium: Fiction

Rating: PG

Summary: When facing eternity, a good mother will try to put all her affairs in order. That means getting real, seeing clearly and putting your own heart’s desires on hold, your dreams in perspective, letting your brain control your advice. Now if only those you love will just cooperate! Joyce looks to her daughter’s future as her own mortality becomes an issue and comes to some startling conclusions. Can Joyce convince Buffy to forget all that she has been telling her, all that everyone has been telling her, thereby easing Joyce’s own worries before facing the hospital and possible death?

Setting: S5 and begins to go AU at the end of “Fool For Love” (written by Douglas Petrie). I am using bits of dialogue from that episode in the beginning of the story before it goes a very different direction. Continue Reading

Drabble – Remembrance

Because my posting day is the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

**

Buffy handed Spike his mug of blood from the microwave, then took a sip of her tea. “My dad wasn’t in Vietnam. I hadn’t really thought much about Veteran’s Day since school.”

“Remembrance Day, we call it.” Spike leaned forward, his elbows on the table. “Didn’t think much of it myself, before the soul. But I was there. Not proud of my actions. Didn’t discriminate. One side tasted the same as the other.

But those boys. Lots of them Dawn’s age. I remember them now.”

“To the troops,” Buffy said, clinking mugs.

“Lest we forget.”

Holidays in the Sun One-Shot

I humbly offer up my contribution. Unfortunately, I didn’t have as much time as I wanted to work on this, so it came out a lot more rushed than I had intended. I might revise it at a later time.

Title: Holidays in the Sun

Rating: G
Summary: Post-Chosen. After that school bus comes to a stop, Buffy just wants to keep going. It’s funny how a road trip and a Sex Pistols album can help in the healing process.

animated icons

I had hoped to complete my Spuffy vidlet by my posting day, but no such luck. Hopefully I can finish it by the free-for-all. In the meantime, I have several animated icons to tide you over. From seasons 5-7 (I’ll be posting some Chosen ones that I didn’t finish on the ffa day too). Also, dial-up users beware: this will probably kill your internets.

56 animated Buffy/Spike icons
