Comics!Fic: Intervention

Title: Intervention
Author: gryfndor_godess
Era: S9, takes place post all currently published comics
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Comics!fic
Summary: Illyria and Eldre Koh stage an intervention.  2,400 words.
A/N:  This is comics!fic, but as I’ve only read one issue (the first Billy issue) since #10 (when Spike left), its adherence to comics!canon is liberal at best.  I basically took some elements I had heard about from previous issues or knew were in the pipeline (e.g., Illyria) and ran with them.

Hey There, Blondie Bear (Part 2/3)

Happy Free-For-All Day!  I’ve posted the the second part of the Spike-miniseries-inspired fic I started on my day.  I’ll have the third and last part up sometime in the near future, definitely before #10.

Title: Hey There, Blondie Bear (Part 2/3)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Being normal doesn’t include having a vampire for a boyfriend, even one with a soul, but Spike’s not willing to be just her friend anymore.  Is “normal” all it’s cracked up to be?  Is it worth the price?  Begins after issue #10 (which will be released 6/13), which is when Spike will temporarily leave S9 for his own miniseries.  5,000 words.  Part 1 here.
Trigger Warning: Teensy bit of self-harm in this section.

Thank you again to the mods for maintaining this community!

Hey There, Blondie Bear (Part 1/?)

My sincere apologies for posting a few minutes after my allotted day.  I didn’t expect to have Wi-Fi today because I’m at the beach and our landlord isn’t available to get the password from until Monday, but we ran into neighbors a little while ago who already had it.  So long story short, I was not expecting to be able to post today, I got Wi-Fi at the last minute, and that’s why I’m a bit late.

Summary: Being normal doesn’t include having a vampire for a boyfriend, even one with a soul, but Spike’s not willing to be just her friend anymore.  Is “normal” all it’s cracked up to be?  Is it worth the price?  Begins after issue #10 (which will be released 6/13), which is when Spike will temporarily leave S9 for his own miniseries.  5,200 words.

A/N:
I started writing this exactly a month ago after the Spike miniseries was announced and some articles/interviews insinuating that Spike and Buffy couldn’t be together simply because he’s a vampire greatly annoyed me.  As more information has come out, I’ve reconciled to the idea of the miniseries, but writing fic is still how I patch up my abused little Spuffy heart.

This fic will probably be about 15-20K words in total.  About half of it’s written so far, and the rest is outlined, so it won’t be a WIP for very long.  I’ll either post more on free-for-all day or else post it on my LJ and link from this chapter.

Fic: For Keeps – Chapter 1

Title: For Keeps
Author: gryfndor_godess  / on LJ, gryfndor_godess
Setting: Post-series
Word-Count:
3,500
Rating:
 PG-13; probably a few chapters will be R down the road.
Summary: When unknown demons attack Spike in autumn 2019 and infect him with what seems to be a parasite, all Slayer and Watcher hands are on deck to try to get it out of him.  But what if the “parasite” could be something more?
A/N 1:
 This is, as you may be able to tell from the summary, an mpreg fic.  Spike gets pregnant.  If the concept of male pregnancy freaks you out, this is probably not the fic for you.
A/N 2: This is a WIP.  I expect it to be a good-sized novella when all is well and done.  Sadly, I am quite far from being well and done, and all I have at the moment is Chapter 1 and maybe Chapter 2 later in the week, if I can get my act together.  Writing (of any kind; not just this) has been like pulling teeth lately, but I am hopeful that this story at least will take off once I get past the introductory, what-the-hell-is-inside-of-Spike chapters.  In any case, this is my first time posting a WIP (in BtVS fandom at least), and my apologies if updates take a while.  Please feel free to friend me if mpreg is your cup of tea and you’d like to keep up with the fic.
A/N 3: So not only is this a WIP, this is a WIP that takes place far in the future in my post-NFA verse, which I not at all ironically call the HEA-verse.  In this verse Anya and Cordelia were resurrected by the PTB after NFA, the Scoobies moved back to the newly rebuilt (but no longer a Hellmouth) Sunnydale in mid-2005, and they all had children a few years later.  The pairings are Buffy/Spike, Xander/Anya, Willow/Oz, Cordelia/Angel, and Dawn/Gunn.  A list of fics in this verse is on my fic masterlist if you’re interested, but below the cut is a brief description of original characters and other relevant information that will tell you all you need to know.
A/N 4: Thank you again to the mods for everything you do!

Lastly, this is for snickfic, who wields her great power of seducing people to mpreg with great responsibility.  Thank you for the inspiration, Snick.

Fic: Worth Waiting For

Title: Worth Waiting For
Author: gryfndor_godess / on LJ, gryfndor_godess
Setting: S7
Word-Count: 6,000
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Um… UST?  Buffy!introspection?  The sunshine and daisies that is end-of-S7 Spuffy?  I don’t know…
Summary: She wants to give him the morning after he deserves.  Takes place during “Chosen,” starting after her nighttime talk with the First (i.e., this is not a FitB of the fade-to-black).
A/N: This fic is for lutamira , who requested “Anything Spuffy” four months ago when I was requesting prompts.  This was not my original SS fic (I’m posting it today because I only finished it a few days ago, so the timing seemed appropriate), and hopefully I’ll have the first chapter of my original SS fic, a WIP, up later today.  The link below takes you back to my LJ.

It’s April 20th in my time zone!  I hope I am not stepping on anyone’s toes in an earlier time zone by posting at the crack of 12:30 AM.  Today I have a 25,000-word fic in five parts.  Assuming there’s no Internet failure in my hotel later, I will post everything today.  Thank you so much ladyofthelogsnickficangearia, and all the taggers for maintaining this wonderful community!

Setting: Post-NFA, January 2006
Rating: R
Word Count: 5,000/25,500
Genre: Biting
Summary: Anya wants to know why she never sees Spike’s bite marks on Buffy’s neck. Buffy wants to know why Spike never asked her to do anything of the sort.

A/N: This fic is set in my post-NFA verse in early 2006. A complete list of the fics in the verse is here, but it’s not necessary to have read any of them to read this. All you need to know is:
-The PTB rewarded Angel, Spike, and Gunn for destroying LA’s W&H by saving Gunn’s life and resurrecting Cordelia and Anya at the vampires’ requests.
-After spending two years in London the Scooby gang moved to New Sunnydale, which has been rebuilt but is not a hellmouth, in summer 2005 to open a second, U.S. based slayer academy.
The established couples are Buffy/Spike, Anya/Xander, Willow/Oz, Cordelia/Angel, and Dawn/Gunn.

Superlative

Title: Superlative
Author: gryfndor_godess
Summary: Who’s the Sexiest Couple in the Scoobies? Buffy and Anya get into an unconventional battle of wills at dinner. Takes place approximately one year after “Not Fade Away,” shortly after Buffy and Spike have officially started dating. One-shot, 1400 words.
Rating: PG-13
Author’s Note: This is insanely silly (but hopefully funny) fluff. And for background information purposes, in my post-NFA verse, Angel and Spike were each given one life as a reward for defeating Wolfram and Hart. Angel chose to bring Cordelia back to life and Spike chose Anya; Willow and Oz are also back together.

Can We Rest Now?

Title: Can We Rest Now?
Author: gryfndor_godess
Summary: When the gravity of Spike’s death hits Buffy a few hours after “Chosen,” she goes to Willow for comfort and ponders exactly what she meant when she said those three little words. One-shot, 5300 words.
Rated: R for a bit of bad language.
Warnings: Mentions of canon W/K, W/T, and X/A.
Author’s Note: I’ve written a heck of a lot of Buffy fanfic, but I’ve never posted anything online before. When I found this community a few months ago, I fell in love with the concept and knew I had to be a part of it, and I was inspired to write a new one-shot (in going with the theme, I prefer to think of it as Buffy finally uses her head to explain what’s in her heart). Thank you enigmaticblues for creating such a great venue for Spuffy shippers!
