Fic: Apology for Declining an Invitation to Dine (Part 1 of 2)

eurydice72

It is technically still the 23rd here in California, so I’m coming in under the wire for my second posting day. I had all these plans about the one-shot I wanted to post today, but, as it happens, things didn’t work out the way I wanted. So, what I’ve got is the first half of the one-shot. I’m going to post the second half on Sunday’s Free-for-all Day.

But to make up for only having half of this now, I have a little treat at the end.

Title: Apology for Declining an Invitation to Dine
Author: Eurydice
Era/season/setting: S5, set immediately after my story, Charms of the Clarion
Rating: R
Author’s Note: The one thing I get comments on the most, even after all these years, is the chocolate sauce story from Charms of the Clarion. Way back in the day (I wrote/posted it in January-May 2003; gah, I’m old), I deliberately chose to fade to black at the end as Spike was telling Buffy what happened, because I figured that anything I came up with wouldn’t be nearly as good as what the reader might imagine. They had a tendency to disagree with me, so the requests for the chocolate sauce story have come in like clockwork ever since. Since this is a special anniversary for Seasonal Spuffy, I decided to get it out there, once and for all.

In the original spirit of Charms, the title is courtesy of Robert Burns.

Fic: Calliope Unsheathed – Chapter Three

eurydice72

Title: Calliope Unsheathed
Author: eurydice72
Era/season/setting: Set between S4 and S5, canon divergent AU
Rating: Eventually NC17, but only R for language and violence for what gets posted here
Summary: When a carnival comes to town, Spike gets wind of a plot that doesn’t sound good for Sunnydale…or the Slayer.
Warnings: None
Author’s Note: Thank goodness for free-for-all days! I meant to get this up last night, but time is not my friend right now.

Fic: Calliope Unsheathed – Chapter Two

eurydice72

Title: Calliope Unsheathed
Author: eurydice72
Era/season/setting: Set between S4 and S5, canon divergent AU
Rating: Eventually NC17, but only R for language and violence for what gets posted here
Summary: When a carnival comes to town, Spike gets wind of a plot that doesn’t sound good for Sunnydale…or the Slayer.
Warnings: None
Author’s Note: This is my first Seasonal Spuffy in YEARS so to say I’m nervous is an understatement. I went for something comfortable for me which means adventure time for Spike and Buffy. I had originally hoped to have five chapters to post today, but it looks like it’s only going to be three at most. Those will come later today. My outline for this puts it at 12 chapters, though I reserve the right to have that change if the story decides to take its own path. :)

FIC: The Faraway Nearby – Chapter 2

eurydice72

I got posting access, yay!
And here’s chapter 2…

TITLE: The Faraway Nearby
AUTHOR: Eurydice
SUMMARY: Set a week after the end of S5. Everyone is grieving. Trying to rebuild their lives. Trying to forget them. At least, until Dawn goes missing. Then, they only have one goal, and Spike realizes this is his last chance to fulfill his final promise.
GENRE: Drama/angst
RATING: R, for now. It will likely turn NC17 later on.
NOTES: Yes, it’s a WIP. My apologies for that. It’s looking to be about 10 chapters (I think) and since this is all I’m working on right now, I fully intend to have it completed by the end of the year. Chapter 2 will come later today. Subsequent chapters will be at my LJ.

FIC: The Faraway Nearby – Chapter 1

eurydice72

This is Eurydice72. Apologies for having to use the special poster account. I have a DW account that I created just for this, and though DW is telling me I’m a member of the community, it’s also telling me I don’t have posting access. I’ve been trying to get it sorted out for the past few hours, but since it’s now 3:30pm here in sunny California and my day is 2/3s gone, I figured it’s better to just do it this way than to wait.

So… yeah. This is my first time signed up for this in years, and, well, it’s been interesting coming back to these characters.

I wanted to do something with the theme of this round, but I wasn’t sure how to approach it without doing something I’ve never done before. What I came up with is a multi-chapter plot bunny, of which I have the first two done. That’s what I’m posting today, but I have zero other commitments right now, so this is getting my focus for the rest of the year. My goal is to have it done before 2013 hits.

This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series Beg the Liquid Red

Well, today’s my day and I come bearing fic. I had asked for a late date because I knew I had a lot of commitments and wanted time to get a story completed; however, in spite of my good intentions what I’m posting today is not done. So I’m going to post the 6 chapters I do have completed (potentially 7, depending on sadbhyl) and will continue it in my LJ.
