My Seasonal Spuffy story set in season six. Thanks to spicklething for the beta.
Head and heart. Guess which is which. :)
era: btvs s6
Fic: Traditional Love Stories by tashlae
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.
Fic: And Round Again (2/2)
Title: And Round Again
Rating: PG-13
Beta: ssddgr
Summary: Spike and Dawn manage to persuade Buffy that what she really needs is some time off, and what better than a night of roller coasters, cotton candy and all the fun of the local fair. She should have known that nothing is ever that simple in Sunnydale. Set in early season six.

Well, today is my day for posting and I have one short story to tell. My thanks to the fabulous and efficient at all times enigmaticblues for keeping this tradition going. Truly the site is a treasure-house of new fic and visuals about our favorite pair.
I have the first 5 chapters ready to go but there will be a slight delay in posting the final chapter because I didn’t get it to my wonderful Beta until late last night. I expect to post it tonight in my time zone so it will be late in parts of the world but still on my day here. So without further ado:
Title: Thousand Kisses Deep
Author: Pfeifferpack
Medium: Fiction
Rating: R
Summary: Dawn’s wish to Halfrek is quite different from canon and may wind up being the best gift Buffy receives for her birthday, even if it is late in the receiving.
Setting: S6 and begins to go AU at “Older and Far Away” (written by Drew Z. Greenberg). I am using a tiny bit of dialogue from that episode in the beginning of the story before it goes a very different direction. Hints of events in episodes through “Normal Again” and then completely AU. Very tiny bit of dialogue from “Hell’s Bells” by Rebecca Rand Kirshner and “Normal Again” by Diego Gutierrez appear in this story for episode set-up purposes.
The Trouble with Harriet, 2/?
Chapter 2
The Trouble with Harriet 1/?
I’m ashamed to admit I won’t get this story finished by the end of today. This bugs me to the point that I’m having classic anxiety dreams about not finishing homework and term papers and failing classes, but I’ve realized the story had more potential than I originally thought and I don’t want to post when I know I can do better than the crap that comprises the middle section of the fic right now. I’ll have two chapters done by the end of today and will post the rest on my LJ as I finish it.
Title: The Trouble with Harriet
Rating: PG
Warnings: WIP
Disclaimer: All series characters and good stuff belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, etc. I am responsible for some original characters (although I stole names from Hitchcock) as well as the lame dialogue and most of the plot. The idea, of course, is stolen from the classic movie, The Trouble with Harry.
Summary: Buffy really needs a vacation, so when the chance arrives, she takes it, even though with a wandering corpse on the loose it’s almost, but not quite, a busman’s holiday. This is set in my cheerful, AU version of Season 6 where everyone sort of gets along and Spike and Buffy are a couple.
Thanks: to keswindhover and revdorothyl for beta and to enigmaticblues for maintaining the comm.

Fic ~ Hearts Distant (PG-13)
Author: Abelina (Abby)
Title: Hearts Distant
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Exactly one bad word.
Summary: Turbulence and hate, tenderness, love and loss…and maybe something more. A look inside Buffy and Spike’s heads as they ponder the ever-changing nature of them.

Fic: Ars Poetica (6/6)
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 (5/6)
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 five 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 Sonnet III from A Few Figs from Thistles by Edna St. Vincent Millay and “Fletcher McGee” by Edgar Lee Masters.
A/N: Thanks so much to the brilliant and talented mere_ubu for finding “Fletcher McGee” for me. You’re right–it’s just too perfect not to use.
Summary: The story of her life with Spike, Buffy realizes, is written in poetry, not prose.
Fic: Ars Poetica (4/6)
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.
