Buffy and Spike: Cubed – 9

missmurchison
This entry is part 9 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

Here is the end of a story that I started during the hiatus between Season 6 and 7 when I wondered what it would be like to have Buffy or Spike as a direct report and remarked to a friend that at least I didn’t have to deal with that at work. Her response was something along the lines of, “Write that,” and we tossed ideas around for a while. I’m very glad I blew the dust off this and finished it, because it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for all the comments. I’m going to try to reply to each one, but not tonight. I need to go pay attention to my family, who have been very understanding all day long about my obsession with this fic.  Continue Reading →

Buffy and Spike: Cubed – 6

This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

The family has gone off holiday shopping, leaving Buffy and Spike with a chance to snoop around Ashiana, and me with the time to post another chapter. Here it is, with a ref basilio_the_cat  suggested in feedback, and another from one of my favorite authors.

(Edited to fix the chapter number.)

Buffy and Spike: Cubed – 5

This entry is part 5 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

I seem to be posting one chapter for every load of laundry I do. If I could keep up this pace, on both the fic and dirty clothes fronts, not only would I have this story done by midnight, I’d finish half my other WIPs. That’s not going to happen, but Buffy and Spike are about to find some more trouble at Ashiana Industries.  Continue Reading →

Buffy and Spike: Cubed – 1

This entry is part 1 of 9 in the series Buffy and Spike: Cubed

I’m starting these posts late because my internet access went down this morning. I should manage to finish posting even if it goes down again by hopping on a dialup connection for short periods.

Thanks to keswindhover  for betaing on short notice, and thanks to the friend who has since disappeared from the fandom but who encouraged this idea in the first place. (If you ever read this, you know who you are, and you are missed by others as well as by me.) Thanks as well to itmustbetuesday  and everyone else here, with a special tip of the hat to liliaeth, with whom I share this day.

Title: Buffy and Spike: Cubed
Author: Miss Murchison
Rating: R, overall
Word Total: about 19,000. Maybe longer, I’m still editing the final chapters (yeah, I know) This will be posted by the end of the day in my time zone.
Confession: A tiny bit of this appeared in a slightly different form in an LJ post some time ago, but most of it is making its public debut for the first time.
Summary: To solve a mysterious string of deaths, Buffy and Spike must go where they have never gone before—undercover at a large company, where they must hunt down a murderer amid the cubicles while coping with PowerPoint Presentations and the Coffee Fund Rules.

Fic; Ten Reasons to Change or Simply Stay the Same; NC-17 overall

lillianmorgan

It’s my day so here is my offering. I’ve been really enjoying what’s been going on here. And thanks to all those who make this place possible!!

Title: Ten Reasons to Change or Simply Stay the Same
Author: lillianmorgan
Setting: the aftermath of As You Were really, although it’s setting within canon could go right the way up to Normal Again.
Rating: NC-17, but only in bits and pieces
Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Disclaimer: Not mine, such is the woe. Or, possibly, woah.
Author’s Notes: Ten one-offs as to why and why not the Spike/Buffy relationship works and has possible potential to work some more. Started off as drabbles, but there was too much to say, and I decided not to be so restrictive on myself. First person POV, shifting between Buffy and Spike.
Thanks so much to yourlibrarian  for all her time and effort on the beta work, really, really appreciated. Plus there was some last minute tinkering – any mistakes are therefore mine.

Fic: Hiding In (PG)

sharelle

Hello, everyone, and happy Sunday! I’m Rummi, and I’ve got a fluffy little seasonal fic to offer you today.

Though Halloween has officially come and gone, I couldn’t resist writing this one. It’s set in S6, before the sex and the über-angst – when our couple was still having those potentially sweet moments. It was originally inspired by a throwaway line, delivered by Spike near the beginning of “All the Way.”

Hope you enjoy!

Title: Hiding In
Author: Sharelle
Rating: PG
Word Total: 3735
Summary: When work at the Magic Box starts getting the Slayer down, what’s left but to take a certain vampire up on his offer? Shoplifting, snark, holiday television specials, and schmoopy, fluffy Spuffy ensue!
Author’s Notes: A slightly different turn of events during “All the Way.” It takes place after Spike’s and Buffy’s conversation in the Magic Box basement, and before Giles shows up at the crypt, searching for Dawn.

Poetry In Motion

crackers4jenn

This is my first post of the day! *checks clock* Early day, that is. I won’t be around in the afternoon/evening, so my posts are going to get clumped together sometime before noon. Alright, I’m starting off with some fic.

Title: Poetry In Motion.
Summary: Just a few snippets of Spike and Buffy through the years, from beginning to end. It’s probably hard to follow at first, but each section is a different time frame. They sort of connect with each other. Or at least I’m hoping they do.
Rating: PG-13.
A/N: I just wanted to say a quick thanks to Diya for looking this over and offering up her suggestions and corrections. *hugs*

Seasonal Spuffy Fic: Stay Away From Randy!

mommanerd

It’s been such a pleasure to be involved with this new Community. I’ve been loving the daily dose of Spuffyness (I am in awe of the banner and icon makers – SO much talent!). Anyway, here is my contribution, and I hope you find it enjoyable.

Summary: Did y’ever wonder what would have happened if Xander had waited a few more hours before breaking on Willow’s Tabula Rasa crystal?
Rating: PG-13
Love to my betas, spiralleds and married_n_mich. Without them, I wouldn’t be here.
Also thanks to my children, who inspired both the title and the ending.

And now, on to…

The Habit of Breathing

willowgreen

It’s my day at last! Here’s my first post — I have a bunch of icons, but I’m saving them for daylight.

Title: The Habit of Breathing
Author: Willowgreen
Rating: PG, max
Setting: Season 6, sometime after Older and Far Away.
Disclaimer: Theirs, not mine. No money changed hands and no bunnies were harmed in the writing of this fic.
Summary: Buffy’s ambivalent — it must be Tuesday. Or Thursday. Or some other day of the week.
Comments: This is nominally a sequel to a very silly story I wrote some time ago, “The Rabbit Rescue Mission,” but there’s no need to read that one first. The only connecting element between the two is that Dawn now has a pet bunny. Feedback would be oh so welcome!

Fic: A Killing Thing

appomattoxco

Title: A Killing Thing
Author: Appomattoxco
Rating: FRT
Summary: This is a sequel to my story pre All the Way fic Lover’s NOTS. In that story Anya ends things with Xander before attending a trade show with Giles While falling in love they buy stuff. A book of prophecy was one of the purchases. Xander went happily to LA to make custom cabinets for the stars but season six progressed more or less the same Spuffy wise. {do keep in mind it’s an AU} That’s all you need to know but you can go read Lover’s NOTS if you like.
A/N I don’t write Spuffy very much because I’m not very good at getting into Buffy’s head so I hope this is alright.

Seven Spuffy Haikus

itmustbetuesday

Hi there. Sick of me yet? Hope not. I’ve got another post after this one. I went a little crazy with my contributions, in the fact that I made lots of stuff.

Anyway, now I would like to share with you the lost art of the Spuffy haiku. It is difficult to portray such passion and love and hate in a mere 17 syllables, but it can be done if you try.

Contradictions

Another oldie… but retooled, because sometimes the oldies are the goodies. :) Apologies if you’ve seen it before, but I will have something new tonight, again. :D

Title: Contradictions
Author: biggerstaffbunch
Rating: mildly adult
Summary: Opposites in every single way but the way that matters.
A/N: Set in S6, with all teh violent sex…one of my favorite things about Buffy and Spike was the way they so obviously NEEDED and WANTED one another. Not fluffy, kids. Hope you all enjoy!
