Ficlet: The Promise (1/1)

annapurna_2

Life has been hectic and I almost forgot my posting day. Here’s short ficlet before I toddle off to bed. I’ll (hopefully) post a slightly longer fic later this evening after I get home from work. Still need to finish up the last little bit.

Vacation is coming up, and I’m looking forward to enjoying seasonal_spuffy. In the meantime, many thanks to the excellent gillo , lutamira and fenchurche for making that possible.

Fic: Adventures in Parenting (1/1)

annapurna_2

I’m back with the ficlet that I didn’t finish in time for my posting day. I thought I would be out of town and couldn’t post it on free-for-all day, but plans changed. Got a huge project at work that I’ve been living, breathing and not-sleeping over for the last three weeks. I’m finally done with it tomorrow (yay!) and plan to do nothing this holiday weekend but catch up on sleep and enjoy a marathon of Spuffy goodness.

Okay, so considering this is my third dialogue-only RandyBlade/Joan story, I think it’s officially safe to call it… a thing. Dare I even say… a series? So I want to give it a name, but I’m not sure what. Suggestions anyone?

This ficlet has some inside jokes/references to events in the previous two ficlets. If you haven’t read them and would like to first, here’s Mortgage Crisis and here’s Dear Randy.
Now I’m off to pull another all-nighter, so I most likely won’t respond to any comments until Saturday. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!

Fic: I Never (2/2)

annapurna_2

Apologies for the just-under-the-wire posting and also for the rush job on this part. I had set aside the weekend to finish off this story (started during the last round of seasonal_spuffy ), as well as a Randy/Joan story in the same AU-verse as “Mortgage Crisis” and “Dear Randy”. But real life had other plans, so I’ve been finishing up this one tonight and I’ll just have to finish and post the Randy/Joan ficlet to my LJ at a later date. Hopefully soon.

Many thanks to the lovely moderators for making it possible for us to share these characters we love so much.

Title: I Never (2/2)
Author: annapurna_2
Setting: Season 9 comics (AU post-Issue #1)
Rating: PG
Warning: Slight mention of Spike/Other
Genre: Um, not sure. Relationship fic? Comics fic?
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. (Yes, I’ve taken so long to wrap up this little two-parter that I’ve been thoroughly and irrevocably Jossed by the latest issues of Season 9. Just consider this my own little version of an AU world where Buffy isn’t as hung up on “normal” as her current incarnation, ’kay?)

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!

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!

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).

None So Blind

annapurna_2

Whoops! Just squeaking in under the wire. Here’s a little “quickie” ficlet to take the place of the one I didn’t quite finish. It’s really rough, but my laptop is overheating again, so even though I had set aside the entire weekend for writing, I’ve had to do it in short, spaced-out spurts.

The other two stories are almost done, but they’ll have to wait  until the free-for-all day. I’ll also polish this one up and post it to my LJ at a later date.

In the meantime, many thanks to all involved. I’m soooo ready to check out all the great offerings!

Darn! Didn’t quite finish this third ficlet, but I’m posting the first half of it here, barely squeaking in under the wire. I’ll be back in a bit (or possibly tomorrow) to add a link to the final part, which will be in my LJ. Hope you enjoy! And thank you for letting me share!

Mortgage Crisis (1/1) PG

Wouldn’t you know? The one day I was not going to work late, and guess what happens? ::face palm:: As a result, I’m not sure I’ll get the third ficlet finished by midnight. If not then I’ll post it tomorrow night in my LJ. Also, thanks so much for the lovely comments thus far! I’ll be back tomorrow after work to answer everyone. In the meantime, here’s the second offering…

Summary: A little “what if” Spuffy ficlet set post-Tabula Rasa. And that’s all I’m sayin’.
A/N: Okay, this is extremely silly, and I really don’t know where it came from. Other than I wanted to try something different. And it’s definitely that. Heh. Originally wrote this for last year’s seasonal_spuffy. Just barely missed finishing it in time to post it there. Kept meaning to post it in my LJ, but instead it wound up hanging around on my hard drive for a whole year. So now I’m inflicting it on all you lovely readers. Hope you get a giggle. (And who knew it would be so topical?)

Ficlet: No Day But Today (1/1) PG

Disclaimer: Not mine, though I wish they were.
Summary: A little “fill-in-the-blanks” Spuffy ficlet set directly post-Lies My Parents Told Me. What might have happened after Buffy closed the door on Giles. A little bit angsty.
A/N: Written for the Fall 2008 round of Seasonal Spuffy. Pulled this one out my WIP folder, dusted it off and finished it up. The theme is “obstacles,” and it’s the first of three ficlets I’ll be sharing. The other two are definitely on the light side and won’t be posted until tomorrow evening after work. (I’m going to be really sorry I stayed up this late. Heh.) So pleased I got my Internet connection back in time to come out and play this time around! Many, many thanks to the lovely and talented  enigmaticblues, who makes it all possible. I can hardly wait to enjoy all the Spuffy goodness!

Fic: Made for Each Other – PG-13 (01/01)

annapurna_2

Okay, this is the last one. Good thing, too. I’m getting veeery sleepy. Hope I can keep from going cross-eyed long enough to post this correctly.

Many thanks for letting me be a part of this and for all the inspiration and motivation. It feels so good to be writing (fanfic) again! Especially Spuffy fanfic. ::loves it so much::

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

I hadn’t originally planned to post anything beyond the previous story (written a few months ago), but I came down with a bad case of the writing bug over the last week or so.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Heh.

Fic: Muted – very mild R (01/01)

annapurna_2

Hello, all.
It’s just barely my day, but my best friend is in the hospital and I’m not sure where I’ll be tomorrow, sooo…
Many thanks to the ever-so-lovely enigmaticblues for all of her hard work and to all the wonderful contributors. I’ve been enjoying the offerings immensely! I’ve fallen behind the last couple of days but look forward to catching up on the latest and greatest this weekend.

Funny story. I actually wrote this first fic months ago but never posted it. As luck would have it, it fits right in with the New Beginnings theme, so… score! Heh.

It may be the weekend before I respond to comments, but until then please know they’re very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy.

Fic: Something in It (3/3), NC-17

annapurna_2

Ta-da! Back with the final installment. Whew. This part may also need some more tweaking, but if I waited until I was completely satisfied, I’d never get anything posted. Heh.

Once again, many thanks to the lovely itmustbetuesday  for all her hard work on seasonal_spuffy. It’s been a pleasure taking part and an even bigger pleasure sharing a posting day with the amazing thisficklemob.

Next on the agenda… replying to comments and reading some great fic. Whoo-hoo!

But first…

Finally back with the rest of the story! Took a lot longer than I thought. The words just weren’t coming today. I fear this may be the part where the experiment goes sadly awry. Heh.

At the very least, I foresee some heavy-duty revising in the not-too-distant future. So please believe me when I say that any constructive criticism is most welcome.

Be back with Chapter 3 as soon as I give it a quick, final read-through. In the meantime…

Fic: Something In It (1/3), NC-17

annapurna_2

First off, thanks so much for the comments on the drabbles I posted earlier. You guys are so lovely. I’m eager to reply, but I need to finish up my three-part fic offering before I do that. Many apologies for the delay.

Also, thanks to the extremely talented red_sunflower for the Spuffy icons she posted yesterday. This one seemed so perfect for my fic that I had to snag it! Along with a few others. Heh.

And speaking of the story, here’s the first installment. Chapter 3 is also done, but I have just a bit more to fill in for Chapter 2. I’ll be back with those later. I suspect the story may need some more polishing when all is said and done, but that will have to wait. In the meantime, hope it pleases…

Drabble, The Third…

Here’s my final offering before I go grab some shut-eye. I’ll be back later on to post the first part of my NC-17 Season 2 Spuffy fic. The final two parts will follow as soon as I finish up that pesky middle
segment and apply a quick buff and polish.

But until then, I leave you with this…

Hello, all. I’m ever so pleased to be sharing this day with the lovely and gifted thisficklemob. I couldn’t be in better company. Can hardly wait to read your story, caia!

Also, many thanks to the amazing itmustbetuesday  for the marvelous job she’s doing with seasonal_spuffy. Kudos!

Now, for my contribution I’ll be posting a three-part NC-17 story set in Season 2… but not for a few hours. My muse went on strike last week, so I’ve still got the last bit of Chapter 2 to finish up as soon as I get a little sleep.

In the meantime, here’s the first of three drabbles to kick things off.
