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. :

Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire Part 3

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire

And here it is! Your third part for today! As I said, I will be posting the chapters on my own journal after this, but I will put a link at the bottom of this post leading to the fourth chapter and from that chapter to the next and so on. Chapters will post one a day, with a three day lag as I post these three chapters to my journal first!

No warning to this chapter, but hopefully you will all see why I thought it made a nice stopping – or at least pausing – point. :)

If this is all new to you, Check out Chapter One!

As always, all glories to snickfic!!

Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Perils of the Self-Domesticating Vampire

Hello all! My first Seasonal Spuffy evah!!

This is a fic in 10 parts (possibly 11. I’m working on 10 now, you see. Sorry, I failed to finish for the deadline!) I’ll post the first three chapters today, as I think they make a nice little thing together, and then I’ll follow up on my journal? Is that good, or should I wait until “open posting” day?

Warning: Fluffy! People who like my writing might not believe this, so I have to emphasise that this story is strong with the fluff side of the force.

Summary: After getting caught with Anya in the Magic Box, Spike tries a different drastic tactic to make it all better: he proposes.

I owe much love to my beta snickfic, who held my hand through the strange world of fluff, and the occasional drama-queen explosion of writer’s block.

In Their Shoes

In Their Shoes

Author: moscow_watcher
Genre: comedy
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Joss is the boss.
Timeline: Season 6. “Once More With Feeling” has ended differently.
Summary: Role-playing games are more effective than a shrink’s couch – at least, in Buffy and Spike’s case.
A/N: Many thanks to deird1, my wonderful beta who helped me with grammar, style and characters voices. All mistakes are mine. And many thanks to abelina, angearia, gillo, ladyofthelog, rebcake and snickfic for organizing this round and running this community.

Fic: ‘The More Things Stay the Same’ (3/3) by Quinara [R]

And the last part! I’ll be back later with something extra. :)

The More Things Stay the Same.
Buffy goes to Wesley instead of Tara about the resurrection spell.

Author: Quinara
Rating: R for for reasonably explicit sex and a whole bunch of swearing.
Length: ~25,000 words (in three chapters of approx. 8300 each.)
Other Pairings: None as such, though Angel is around, so there’s certainly Buffy-Angel interaction and a friendly acceptance of the Bangel of yore.
Notes: Big thanks to bogwitch  for the beta job! It rather got away with me after she saw it, though, so don’t blame her for anything you don’t like. ;) Also, this fic is set after DMP (where the chapter titles come from) and immediately after Loyalty on AtS.
Warnings: Nothing AO3 would make you warn for; otherwise, a certain amount of S6-y misery, but it’s not what I’d call the angstiest thing in angst town.

‘Allo!

I hope I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes, but it’s just ticked over to my posting day in my time zone, and I was getting antsy, so does anyone mind if I begin? (Hi, mods! Thanks so much for running this again!!) I’ve got a three-part fic and a vid to post today, so will be popping in at fairly regular intervals!

Fic: In His Eyes (1/1)

Joining in again in this fine seasonal_spuffy round. Thanks to the mods, as always, for having me, and thanks to any kind readers who feel brave enough to peruse my scribblings. I did hope to have more, but you know how it is…

TITLE: In His Eyes
SEASON: Erm, not really sure. After Spike knows he loves her, after Joyce’s death, and after they started with the smoochies.
RATING: PG13 for some very mild language
SUMMARY: Buffy and Spike are getting along just fine, so long as Buffy can use him to scratch an itch and then hightail it out of his bed. But one night Buffy sees something in his eyes, and she has to face the truth of who she is, and who Spike is, and what they are – or could become.
DISCLAIMER: None of the characters, sadly, are mine. If they were, they’d be sitting on the porch of that lovely little crypt for two right now, holding hands.
THANKS: To seductivembrace for her lightning fast beta of my scribbles. If you see anything amiss, it’s because I fiddle; let me know?
WORD COUNT: 3,256
