Fic: Caution: Children At Play, Chapter 1/10

waddiwasiwitch
This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Caution: Children At Play

Title:  Caution: Children at Play

Author: Waddiwasiwitch

Era: Season Five

Rating: PG13

Genre: Kid fic

Summary: Spike and Buffy have been turned into kid. The Scoobies have to figure out how to solve the mystery without them, while Buffy and Spike are stuck spending  lots of time together much to her chagrin.  This basically is a bit of fluff and hopefully will provide a few laughs.  The story has ten chapters, but I will only be posting five today.  If you like you can read the rest on mylivejournal because unfortunately I didn’t get around to finishing the whole thing on time.

AN: I would like to dedicate this to the wonderful Ginar369, who provided a beta, and the talented Ladyaisha, who was my sounding board and conspirator.  Any mistakes are my own.
Disclaimer: How I wished I actually owned Buffy and Spike.

Fanmix: No One’s Ever Gonna Love You

bayloriffic

Originally, I wanted to write one more fic for before this round ended, but RL has not been conducive to anything that requires long bursts of focus or creativity, so. Instead, I decided to finish up this Spike/Buffy mix that I’ve had sitting about half-done in my iTunes since forever.

It’s basically my soundtrack to Buffy and Spike’s relationship (from Spike’s POV) starting in season five once Spike decides he’s in love with Buffy and then going on through the rest of their on-show relationship (with a heavy emphasis on s6-esque songs because that’s currently my favorite season due to all of the angst and makeouts).

Icons, Wallpapers, LJ Stuff & a Manip

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. :

Fic – Calm the Waters (Chapter 2)

abelina

Author: Abelina (Abby)
Title:  Calm the Waters
Summary:  It must be spring, because there’s an apocalypse brewing.  Spike and Buffy go on a mission to find the final artifact needed for the ritual to end the world, so they can destroy it before it’s too late, only things go a little bit awry.
Setting: Season Five, sometime after Intervention but before Tough Love, in a bit of an alternate reality.
Rating: Will be NC-17 (eventually).
Notes: This is the second chapter of the fic I started for the last round of Seasonal Spuffy.  Chapter One is here, and was posted so long ago it’s probably best to read it again even if you remember seeing it the first time around.  I didn’t think I’d even have anything for this round, so I’m pleased to be posting this with about 50 minutes left on my posting day.  Unbeta’d, so if you spy an error, please let me know so that I might fix it.

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

okdeanna

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.

Seven Stages to Clarity Chapter 6

pfeifferpack
This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Seven Stages to Clarity

Title: Seven Stages to Clarity

Author: Pfeifferpack

Medium: Fiction

Rating: PG

Summary: When facing eternity, a good mother will try to put all her affairs in order. That means getting real, seeing clearly and putting your own heart’s desires on hold, your dreams in perspective, letting your brain control your advice. Now if only those you love will just cooperate! Joyce looks to her daughter’s future as her own mortality becomes an issue and comes to some startling conclusions. Can Joyce convince Buffy to forget all that she has been telling her, all that everyone has been telling her, thereby easing Joyce’s own worries before facing the hospital and possible death?

Setting: S5 and begins to go AU at the end of “Fool For Love” (written by Douglas Petrie). I am using bits of dialogue from that episode in the beginning of the story before it goes a very different direction. Continue Reading →

animated icons

effulgent_girl

I had hoped to complete my Spuffy vidlet by my posting day, but no such luck. Hopefully I can finish it by the free-for-all. In the meantime, I have several animated icons to tide you over. From seasons 5-7 (I’ll be posting some Chosen ones that I didn’t finish on the ffa day too). Also, dial-up users beware: this will probably kill your internets.

56 animated Buffy/Spike icons
