This entry is part 1 of 15 in the series Always Wait For You

It’s my day! Am I the last in this round? *looks around furtively* Whoa! Anyway, without further wasteful babbling, here is my submission for this round. It’s quite a few chapters, so it’ll probably take me a good bit of the day to get it all up, but I promise (just for you, EB) that it is complete and I will have it all posted before the day is over. Behind the cut you will find –

Fic: ‘Echoes’ by Quinara (1/1)

quinara

I’m back! Did anyone notice me leaving? ;)

I suppose this concludes my exciting day of posting. Thanks to everyone in the community who’s kept (or will be keeping) me on a pleasant Spuffy high over the season, and especial thanks to enigmaticblues  for organising the whole shindig!

Title: Echoes
Author: Quinara
Rating: PG (for angst?)
Summary: Spike pays his respects to Illyria.
Author’s Notes: I have a bit of a goth streak that I can’t help letting out every now and then. My original conception for this was a great, dark poetic sweep of a fic, but it wouldn’t come out in a way that wasn’t gratuitous – but then I fortunately realised that I quite like it in miniature. I hope you do too.

Warnings: Death/grief

Fic: ‘The Public Face’ by Quinara (1/1)

quinara

Hello!

It’s my day today, although technically there’s only an hour left of it my end. I’m not quite sure how that happened…

Anyway, there’s a little something extra besides this, which will be coming over the next hour – I’m sure you’re on tenterhooks!

Title: The Public Face
Author: Quinara
Rating: PG-13 (for one vaguely real swear word?)
Summary: Xander gets a phone call in the middle of the night, which leads him to witnessing a reunion he’s not sure he wants to.
Author’s Notes: This is a sequel-in-spirit to Resolution, wherein I tried to deal with my Season 8 issues. This is is less blatantly ranty, and more my attempt to deal with the (inevitable, dammit) Buffy/Spike reunion from what’s hopefully a different angle. Hope you like it, and please feel free to point out any typos.

Warnings: None

Fic, Elemental Slayer (Sequel fic to Show Me Something Blue)

megan_peta
This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Elemental Slayer

Firstly, I’m feeling extremely nervous about posting this round for some reason.
This fic is a sequel to Show Me Something Blue. ((R) Set during the episode Something Blue. Buffy comes to her senses before she trashes those drool-worthy lips of Spike!) I know it is somewhat a disadvantage to those who haven’t read the fic, but if it helps, it’s not very long. The main gist is that Buffy continues the engagement so as to not draw attention to the fact she is powerless against magical attack. I would like to think this fic can be read in isolation, but I can be quite oblivious to some things so if it can’t, someone please tell me!
Summary: Set at the beginnings of season five but will branch off-canon. Spike is in LA and about to return to Buffy when he runs into some trouble. A new threat to the Slayer appears, bringing his own brand of blackmail and magic that will tear all their lives apart.

Fic – What Dreams May Come

What Dreams May Come

by spikeNdru

Written for seasonal_spuffy, October 28, 2007

Timeline: Post-Chosen

Rating: PG-PG-13

Length: Part 1 – 2655 words

Many thanks to the marvelous makd for the beta.

Summary and Author’s Notes: A series of vignettes of Buffy’s post-Chosen dreams. Some are on the angsty side, some are hopeful, some are just plain silly—because that’s how dreams are. Some are in the first person, some in the third, but all are fairly linear. Restless already did the non-linear metaphor dreams to perfection. Unfortunately, what Buffy’s current dreams aren’t is porny. I had to drop several planned dreams because in the last few months RL kicked my ass, and the pr0n just refused to make an appearance. Sometimes, that’s the way it goes. Sorry.

In addition, for clarity, Buffy’s waking life and thoughts are in normal black font. Her actual dreams are in blue font. Continue Reading →
