Full Circle: Conclusion

auntiero
This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Full Circle

Happy July, everyone! Today’s the free posting day and as promised, the conclusion of “Full Circle” is posted. As always, I’m ever grateful to our fabulous mod enigmaticblues for her continued patience and gracious maintenance of the community. I don’t think I would have ever finished this without the forced deadlines. Thank you! Thank you!

Title: Full Circle
Rating: NC-17
Medium: Fanfic
Final Wordcount: 49,980
Setting: Early Season 3 and then it goes wildly AU after that

Author’s Note: This is most definitely an off cannon piece. I’m going to try to keep the characterization in cannon, but in the end I have to go where Buffy and Spike take me. Many thanks to ! I couldn’t do this without you! I’ve re-posted everything at – some has been tweaked – but mostly so you don’t have to go fishing for the story. Thanks to for some typo catches! And a huge thank you to for the gorgeous banner. :D

Disclaimers: Spike, Buffy and the Buffyverse are not my creations. They are the glorious brain children of Joss Whedon. Any liberties I take with the characters and the ‘verse are ‘cause he’s indulgent towards his fans. Some of the diner dialogue is directly from the original episode, “Anne.” The general concept of Drusilla leaving Spike for a chaos demon isn’t mine either. That’s from “Fool for Love,” Season 5. I didn’t write or create either! Please don’t say I did.

WARNING: CHARACTER DEATH, Extreme Angst

Also, this is unbeta’d. If you catch some glaring errors (typos, grammatical errors, things like that), please PM me so I can fix them. Thanks!

Title: Traditional Love Stories
Rating: PG
Timeline: more or less post NFA (and ignorant of the comics as well) but references to S2-7.  Basically.
Summary: This is not a love story.  It’s sort of hard to say that when there’s this much attempted murder.
A/N:  I’m excited to be posting!  This is a little bit strange, but I hope everyone likes it.

Full Circle (WIP)

writero

First – I’m posting a little late for my time zone (life has been a little busy today). Sorry!

Second – I started this story 4 Seasonal Spuffy rounds ago. The story kind of got away from me. Please follow the fake cut to my journal. You can catch up on the earlier parts before reading Part 6. I’m planning on finishing this for the free for all day.

Third – Thank you, enigmaticblues, for running the community and organizing the cats.

Enjoy!

Comments always welcome.

Fic: Ars Poetica (6/6)

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Ars Poetica

I juuust finished this, so my apologies for any typos I might have missed, though I don’t think there should be many. I hope you enjoyed my offering!

Title: Ars Poetica
Medium: Fiction
Author: Lirazel (penny_lane_42)
Timeline: “Becoming Part II” – post-“Not Fade Away.” Canon all through BtVS; ignores the comics and “The Girl in Question.”
Rating: R
Installment: Part six of six.
Disclaimer: The world and characters of the Buffyverse do not belong to me. Neither do any of the poems.
Poetry: The poems featured in this chapter are “Elegy XX: To His Mistress Going to Bed” by John Donne (my favorite poet), a few lines of “may i feel said he” by e.e. cummings (you should look up the rest of it; it’s pretty fun), and “Fate slew Him but He did not drop” by Emily Dickinson.
A/N: This first section is the closest I’ve ever really come to writing a sex scene. It’s still not terribly explicit, but I pushed myself further than I’ve gone before. I’m kind of nervous, so let me know what you think.
Summary: The story of her life with Spike, Buffy realizes, is written in poetry, not prose.

Fic: Ars Poetica (4/6)

This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Ars Poetica

Title: Ars Poetica
Medium: Fiction
Author: Lirazel (penny_lane_42)
Timeline: “Becoming Part II” – post-“Not Fade Away.” Canon all through BtVS; ignores the comics and “The Girl in Question.”
Rating: PG-13 here, R overall
Installment: Part four of six.
Disclaimer: The world and characters of the Buffyverse do not belong to me. Neither do any of the poems.
Poetry: The poems featured in this chapter are “The Kill” by Carl Phillips and Sonnet XXXIX by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
A/N:  The poetry book I mention in the first section is Helen Vendler’s Poems Poets Poetry.  Most books about poetry either suck all of the joy and beauty out of the whole experience or don’t actually tell you anything useful.  This is by far the best book of its kind I’ve ever seen, and I heartily recommend it for anyone who wants to further their own poetic education.  Vendler, a Harvard professor, released the book in 1997, so I don’t feel like it’s a stretch that Buffy might have used it in her poetry class in college; it’s one of the most revered text for such classes.
Summary: The story of her life with Spike, Buffy realizes, is written in poetry, not prose.
