Eight Banners

xtanitx

Hello!

Well, due to various issues (including a hard drive that died just last night) I don’t have as many banners to share as I’d hoped to. Ah well, maybe now I’ll finally stop putting off backing up.

Enough of that, you’re here for Spuffy, not to hear my computer woes! :D

Many thanks to enigmaticblues for running another round of seasonal_spuffy.

All of these are available for use. Sadly I can’t remove text that’s already there, but if you would like anything personalized, or icons made of any of them, that I can do. I’m happy to, actually, you only have to ask. :) If you use any, please credit me. Now…

Eight banners (PG-13, probably, maybe a soft-R… I think?)

Fic: This Side of Forever

brutti_ma_buoni

Hi everyone! Just one offering for you this season, but I hope you enjoy – and now I get to relax and go appreciate everyone else’s contributions!

Title: This Side of Forever
Author: Brutti_ma_buoni
Rating: PG13
Summary: a pocket dimension with no one to fight. Surely not the perfect place for a Spuffy reunion?
A/N: The idea for this fic was originally sparked by a banner made by amyxaphania for the good__evil artathon, which I didn’t have time to tackle during the artathon itself. But she kindly allowed me to use it belatedly as inspiration for this fic. Discussions with rahirah about pocket dimensions planted a little of the mechanics of this in my brain, but this dimension has nothing to do with hers. The full banner is at the end of the fic, but here’s a little taster:

Fic: Night of St. Vigeous

ladyofthelog

I was going to wait until the morning to post this, but I got all impatient. ;) But no worries! xochantelly  will be posting later in the day to keep you entertained.

What’s every vampire’s favorite holiday? Why, the Night of St. Vigeous, of course! This Spuffy-centric remix of “Real Me” clocks in at 3400 words and a PG-13 rating. Much love to my beta, angearia, who went above and beyond to make this story more awesome!

Fic: Prism

penny_lane_42

Title: Prism
Author: Lirazel (penny_lane_42)
Genre: Angst, comedy, drama, romance
Rating: PG-13
Timeline: Season 7, episodes “Bring on the Night” through “Chosen”
Disclaimer: Joss is boss.
Note: This is a companion piece of sorts to Kaleidoscope. If the ending leaves you wanting, head over and check out “Kaleidoscope” as the sequel.

Thanks to: angearia for invaluable insight into what makes each of the Potentials tick, for advice on how to make their voices distinct, for ideas on how to write a character who doesn’t speak English, and for various other priceless thinky thoughts that no doubt saved me from total meltdown; enisy for finding me an appropriate anime character; snickfic for coming through at the last minute and saving me from some potentially (heh) embarrassing mistakes; and hazyflights for being the greatest person ever and for reactions. Any errors or weaknesses are mine alone.

Summary: Sometimes it takes an outsider’s perspective to really see the truth of things. Other times… well, people do say that context is everything, right?

Full Circle (WIP)

writero

First – I’m posting a little late for my time zone (life has been a little busy today). Sorry!

Second – I started this story 4 Seasonal Spuffy rounds ago. The story kind of got away from me. Please follow the fake cut to my journal. You can catch up on the earlier parts before reading Part 6. I’m planning on finishing this for the free for all day.

Third – Thank you, enigmaticblues, for running the community and organizing the cats.

Enjoy!

Comments always welcome.

Rating:  PG

I’ll be posting a couple of chapters of a new fic in a little while.  But to start off with, I offer up twenty-five Spuffy icons.  I had originally planned on making fifty of them, but I really struggled to get these twenty-five made on time.  I should have kept the duds and posted them for laughs, but I deleted them as soon as I finished them.  :)  Enjoy!

Fic: “Positive Exposure (1/2)” by Quinara

quinara

Hello! It’s so nice to be back at seasonal_spuffy again – thanks, enigmaticblues, for continuing to do such a great job! I’ve got some short bits of poetry to post later, but until then I have fic!

Title: Positive Exposure
Author: Quinara
Rating: R/NC-17 for some briefly graphic sex and relatively high amounts of swearing.
Word Count: c. 13,600 in total.
Summary: Safe in the bosom of the A-List, Spike is set up on a date with Buffy: the world’s most hated tabloid trash. Wackiness refuses to ensue.
Author’s Notes: Not AHAU! This instead takes place some time on from the end of the comics Angel: After the Fall #17 and BtVS 8×21 (Harmonic Divergence). It does not rely heavily on comics canon, apart from the idea that now Spike, Buffy, Angel and Harmony are famous! And people have been made aware of vampires, demons and slayers. It should still be accessible, hopefully, even if people haven’t read the comics. Massive thanks to bogwitch and spiralleds for their betas!

Warnings: Pervasive misogyny, but otherwise none in particular.
