Out of the Blue – 3
*sigh* As I was afraid I would, I totally screwed up this morning and posted chapter two twice and chapter three not at all. I don’t know how to fit it in where it belongs, but if I go back and link to it from chapter two, it should work for everyone. It’ll take me a few minutes to work that out though, so if you’re calling me names and wondering where it is, just be patient. Here is the missing Chapter Three, which I will link to from Chapter Two momentarily.
Out of the Blue – 2
Out of the Blue
I’ll begin posting this rather lengthy fic this a.m. and try to finish it up this afternoon when I get home from work. And I’ll come back to fix the header as soon as I reread the guidelines and write them down so my lack of sort-term memory doesn’t cause me to mess them up.
Title: Out of the Blue

Season Four – AU post SB
Rating: Strong R
Genre: Fic
Ridiculously long AN: Very retro, very par-for-the-course post Something Blue season 4 fic. The beginning premise is based on two almost throw-away scenes from that season – the one in Pangs in which Buffy cuffs Spike almost affectionately after she ties him up, and then trails her hand across his shoulder as she walks behind him. Can’t say I noticed either of them at the time, but once someone mentioned them I went back and looked and… yeah, different sort of Buffy. And then, at the end of SB, she is staring at Spike totally without animosity or disgust – more just contemplative (until he opens his mouth). I thought those little things gave me something to build on.
Then I threw in some hints of Spike appreciation on Xander’s part (cause that’s always fun), some bonding between Spike and Giles (cause I think they could have and should have been friendlier) some Buffy and Willow girl talk, building friendship and UST between Buffy and Spike…. and yeah. Like that. If you don’t like the way the story’s going, just wait a minute and it’ll change again. LOL
It goes off canon almost immediately, with Spike being more receptive to Giles’s suggestion that maybe he was meant to be chipped so that he could change his ways, and with him becoming more of a Scooby than in canon. But if you’re willing to go with those twists on season four canon, I think it works.

Blame it on the Black Star 1/1
Hi guys! I’ve been enjoying all the awesome things that have come out of this community this month, and since it’s open posting day I thought I’d give it a shot. Thanks to the mods for keeping it up and running, and for providing an opportunity for lurkers like myself to contribute without having a slot!
Title: Blame it on the Black Star
Author/Creator: smellslikecorruption
Era/Season/Setting: Season 2-4
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Superstarverse (?)
Length: ~3500
Summary: How might have important events gone differently in a universe where Buffy wasn’t Sunnydale’s go-to superhero? Snapshots of the Spuffy relationship in the alternate history created by Jonathan’s spell.
Disclaimer: None of it belongs to me.
Fic: DUST (7/?)
As promised, I’m back with one more chapter to celebrate seasonal_spuffy. If you want to continue following this fic, I’ll be updating it fairly regularly (couple of times a week at least) on my livejournal. Or you can find it at Elysian Fields or the Bloodshedverse).
Thanks so much to the mods for putting this together. It’s been a lot of fun, and I can’t wait for the next go round. :)
First there was Chapter 1 , Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , Chapter 4 , Chapter 5 & Chapter 6
Title: DUST
Author: knifeedgefic
Era/Season: Season 4 (post “Harsh Light of Day” and “Fear, Itself” but before “Beer Bad”)
Rating: Mature/NC-17 (strong language, sexual situations, adult content)
Genre: other?
Betaed by: goblin_dae, yakimama, and subtilior
Summary: She’d kicked his butt, taken the Gem and sent it off to Angel. Buffy thought she’d seen the last of Spike. Clearly, she’d been too optimistic. That he was in her house, in her room, waking her out of a sound sleep and asking for (okay, demanding) her help meant that something had to be majorly wrong. They weren’t due for another apocalypse, but… why else would a vampire make a truce with the Slayer?

So… I lied earlier. You’re getting two more chapters before my posting day is done… provided no one minds if I run over my day by an hour (my time). It’s still May 1st on the West Coast for a few more hours, I believe.

My very first seasonal_spuffy.
I’m overwhelmed. Or possibly just tired. It is just after 3 am here. But I’ve stayed up late in order to post the first chapter of what is promising to be another epic length KnifeEdge fic. There’s something about writing Spuffy that makes me think epically huge. I’ll have a few more chapters for you throughout the day, today. At least four. Five if I get lucky.
Thanks to the mods for putting this all together, and to all of YOU for welcoming me with such open arms this past year. Super special thanks to my betas for all the time and effort and craziness from me that you’ve put up with.
So, now, without further ado, I give you “DUST”.

Hello!
Typing this with mostly one hand because I’ve come down with some carpal tunnel like symptoms. Which means my graphics aren’t as nice as I like them. I’m hoping to still be able to complete a couple of fanmixes that I’ve been working on by the free-for-all day, as well as a few more animated icons. We’ll see:)
ETA: I’m so sorry I posted this a day early. Premature postage! I thought for sure my day was Thursday. Sorry for stepping on today’s posters toes. :

So, anyone else remember Celia, Buffy’s cousin from Killed by Death? Barely? Well, this would probably be the Celiaverse… created pretty much just for the Spuffy dynamic thereof. But the whole cast should show.
