Summary: A slayer dream leads Buffy and Spike to a moment eight years in the making…

A/N: Love transcends death. I’ve seen that theme stated before, many times, but I don’t think I fully understood its all-encompassing meaning until writing this story. Love is powerful, so powerful it can transcend death. It can also transcend pain, distance, doubt, fear and an innate sense of duty. It can last a lifetime and beyond it for some lucky enough to live that long. Like Spike. For him, love is the epitome of all things. It’s what he wants most in the world. It’s what he needs most, to find the person to love him as he has loved them. Buffy is that person… and she’s just now figuring it out.

Fic: Like Moths to a Flame (Spuffy, R) – 1/1

Title: Like Moths to a Flame
Author: okdeanna
Rating: R, for language and sexual content
Word Count: 4,174
Beta: dusty273
For: seasonal_spuffy Round 11
Timeline: “Fool for Love,” Btvs S5, but it doesn’t conform to the actual episode as I’ve chosen to rewrite it and explore what might have been.
Warnings: does include a small scene with Buffy/Riley, though it isn’t at all about them or their relationship with each other during this time on the show.

Summary: Buffy realizes there is more to Spike than what the Council wants her to believe, but she knows she can’t focus on that fact without also focusing on her growing attraction to him, a concept she’d rather die than admit aloud to him…

Disclaimer: I do not own the Buffyverse. That gem belongs to Joss Whedon, Fox and others associated with the TV shows, comics and merchandising. I’m just a writer who loves the show and likes to write about its characters.

Fic: To Bring Her Back – 1/1 (R, for violence)

Back with my second offering of the day–there will be five in total, four of them fics. This is a bit of a darker tale, though I’d like to think it ends on a bright note.

Title: To Bring Her Back
Author: okdeanna
Rating: R, for violence
Word Count: 0840
Beta: dusty273
Written For: seasonal_spuffy Round 11
Theme: Love is a temporary madness
Warnings: violence, torture, dark angst, implied future romance, also there is an appearance of Angel in this fic.
Timeline: Post Chosen, Buffy S7; Post Not Fade Away, Angel S5; Btvs S8 comics (sort of)
Spoilers: Btvs S8 comics, though only in the top surface since as I’ve not actually read them, just heard things here and there. I’ll put my own twist on everything that happens, as I have no actual idea of what is really going on in the comics. I’m just using something I read as a basis for a new Spuffy story. ;-)

Summary: Spike cannot accept the person Buffy has become, but to find the strong woman he knew before, he must dig deep within himself and turn his back on the man, the Sire, who fought beside him these last few months. He will not give up on Buffy without a fight, or the relationship they might find once the spell-enhanced fog clears from her head. Buffy belongs with him; she just doesn’t know it yet.
